Return to the school?

Meng Fan looked towards Zhang Zhou Wei. ‘Is this what it’s like to be drunk?’

The brazen mouth really lived up to his name. Normally he always asked for what he wanted, but during such crucial times, he was overcome by his scaredy-cat instinct!

“We can’t go back to school for sure.”

Meng Fan ignored Zhang Zhou Wei and continued, “These guys are pretty done… How about this, let’s find a place nearby… The hotel across the street! Let’s book a few rooms and tough out one night. How about it?”

Aside from Zhang Zhou Wei who wanted to go back, the others had no objection.

If they couldn’t return to school, they could only go to a hotel. Normally, they’d be okay just going to an internet cafe, but this time, there were a few drunk people in addition to girls.

They crossed the road to the hotel across the street that looked to be of a high standard and asked the front desk to open a few rooms. How awkward. Because of Su Qing Cen’s concert, the hotel has been booked full.

The front desk smiled. “Hello, our hotel only has a deluxe room and a suite left.”

The crew glanced at the prices for a deluxe room and a suite and immediately retreated in their steps. Even if there were discounts for booking early in the morning, it was not a cheap price.

“Let’s try a different hotel.”

“Screw it, it’ll be the same price at other places too. I can’t carry these guys any longer.”

Meng Fan asked the front desk how big the suites were, and if they could all fit inside one. After all, it would include a large living room in addition to the master bedroom. The girls would sleep in the bedroom and the guys would get the living room. It was good enough for one night.

“Okay!”

Meng Fan thought about it and told the front desk, “One deluxe room, and two suites please.”

The front desk was stunned, and so was Wang Ya Nan and the others.

Meng Fan’s thoughts were simple. Since they could only pick a suite, they might as well enjoy it. If one was too cramped, two should be enough for everyone to enjoy themselves.

As for the deluxe room, Meng Fan wanted Wang Ya Nan to better take care of Zhang Zhou Wei, who was completely blacked out at this point.

“Ya Nan, we can’t deal with this drunk tard. We’ll leave it to you.”

Meng Fan threw Zhang Zhou Wei on the big bed in the deluxe room and turned to leave, leaving Wang Ya Nan stomping the floor in anger, her face flushed red.

“I’m a good baby, I want to go back to school!”

Zhang Zhou Wei was livid, wobbling back and forth on the bed. When Wang Ya Nan went to help him, Zhang Zhou Wei with the slip of his foot dragged Wang Ya Nan onto the floor with him. The floor was covered in carpet, so soft, so warm…

“Wow!”

“Ah!”

The girls, who had been burnt out were immediately revitalized when they saw the suite.

They were all from decent families, but they were still young, and this was their first time living in a fancy hotel suite like this. The excitement was high in their rooms.

After dumping Zhang Zhou Wei with Wang Ya Nan, he left the hotel. He didn’t head upstairs to join the others, nor did he care how the nine remaining people would split the rooms… Ten minutes later, Meng Fan, who had already hailed a cab turned back on his steps and took with him Chen Da Qiang and Xing Ta Ge who had been “kicked out” back to his apartment.

Although they had both brought their girlfriends, it was too inconvenient to do anything in that kind of atmosphere. The girls had gone crazy seeing the oversized bathroom and the jacuzzi bathtub and were eager to undress and jump in. No way they’d let two dudes freely walk about the room.

The chances of making this group of girls walk around conservatively in such a suite for the night was non-existent.

After “kicking out” the two guys, they could let themselves go. It was almost too liberating!

There was no way they were going to bed. They had to use all the services provided with the suite!

“You guys can pick your rooms. The toiletries are brand new.”

Meng Fan went upstairs to shower in his own bathroom before coming back down. Chen Da Qiang and Xing Ta Ge were already showered and huddled together watching anime in the living room.

“Wow, you guys finished fast. Did you shower together?”

Meng Fan trolled them a bit, before asking if they were hungry. He went to see if there was any food in the fridge, then asked Chen Da Qiang to go deal with it.

It turns out that people who had a talent for finding food wasn’t necessarily good at making food…Xing Ta Ge and Meng Fan stared at the pot of instant noodles and both decided to go to bed hungry.

The next day on his morning run, Meng Fan was cautious and wore his hat to avoid being hit by another random object. Even if it was lucky in the end, he had to suffer external pain during the process. Yesterday morning he had gotten lucky and been hit on the sweatband, centimeters away from a large bruise on his forehead.

It was as if the effects of +1 luck had been shut off, for Meng Fan ran 10 kilometers at the school without anything happening. What was out of the ordinary was just some casual greetings from classmates calling him badass. Oh, and Wu Tong was in Beijing. Today’s run was a lonely one.

Returning home, Xing Ta Ge was still in bed, while Chen Da Qiang was well awake. He was more or less bothered by the bowl of instant noodles last night and woke up early to make breakfast to prove he was a good cook. The result…Thankfully, Meng Fan brought breakfast back with him.

The sun came out after they were done with their breakfast.

On November 19th, it was already ten days past winter. Meng Fan couldn’t feel much change on his morning run due to the temperature adjustment function of his sportswear, but after showering, eating breakfast, and basking in the sun, Meng Fan began to feel the warmth of winter approaching.

“Morning, how’s the weather over there?”

“Sunny, but can’t see the sun.”

Meng Fan broke into a big smile and took a selfie to send to Wu Tong. “Do you think my warm smile can break Beijing’s smog?”

“This is too much for my eyes, hahaha!”

“What are your plans for today?”

“In the morning I’m attending a class at the Chinese Painting Department at the Central Art Academy, and going to a joint exhibition by their professors in the afternoon. In the next two days, I’ll be at the Central Art Academy, and if all goes well, I’ll be at the palace museum the day after tomorrow to watch the restoration of ancient paintings. Then I might be able to partake in some of the restorations since that kind of painting is my specialty and the focus of this trip.”

Meng Fan could feel Wu Tong’s excitement since Wu Tong had always expressed her interest in restoring paintings at the palace museum.

After watching “Master in Forbidden City”, she was already going to “Restore paintings in the Forbidden City”. Not only was she able to get in, but she’d also have a chance to try it herself too!

They chatted for a while and ended the conversation when Wu Tong left to listen in on her classes and Meng Fan began to work on his manga.

Shortly after, Meng Fan saw the progress for task phase 2 of [News Figure] increased by another point, confirming his appearance on “Fast track Sports”.

At about 10:00 o’clock, Chen Da Qiang (who went back to take a nap after breakfast) and Xing Ta Ge had just woken up. He had received a call from Wei Zhi Xue, saying they were taking the morning off to enjoy the breakfast and lunch service provided by the hotel suite.

Conveniently, Su Qing Cen’s call also came at this time, saying Meng Fan missed the celebration dinner so she wanted to treat him to lunch.

Chen Da Qiang. Who was just about to head out and find food paused in his steps. Xing Ta Ge also looked towards Meng Fan.

Meng Fan could only say, “Uhm, I’m with my two roommates and we were hunting for lunch. Can I bring them too?”

“Of course!”

“YES!”

Chen Da Qiang and Xing Ta Ge danced around in place with their eyes closed. Was there anything more exciting?!

There was, of course.

For example, taking photos and sharing a meal with your goddess, and having her personally ask you what you liked to eat and if there was enough food… It’s too much!
