When it was time to leave school, a group of people remained in their seats.
They held their phones in their hands and stared at the clock. They counted down the time with serious expressions on their faces.
As Jiang Yu got up to leave, the girl sitting next to her was a little surprised. “Eh, Divine Yu, you’re leaving already? Aren’t you going to fight for tickets? It’s almost time. The internet speed outside isn’t as fast as it is in the classroom.”
“I have no choice. My family is here to pick me up.”
“Alright, then hurry up and go.”
Jiang Yu shouldered her bag and left the classroom.
On her phone was a message from Jiang Xingyi.
“I’m at the school gate.”
…
Jiang Xingyi was dressed in all black and was wearing a hat and mask, they covered most of his face.
His profile was straight and tall as he leaned against the car. Seeing Jiang Yu walk out of the gate, he opened the car door and directed her to the passenger seat. He then went around and hopped into the driver’s seat.
Jiang Yu said, “You could have just told me the license plate and wait for me in the car. This would have reduced the risk to you.”
Jiang Xingyi’s thin lips curled up. “I wanted to see you sooner and I wanted you to see me sooner.”
He felt that what he said was the appropriate reply but Jiang Yu did not agree. “Since you’re popular, you should pay more attention to your privacy and control all risk factors. What if something unexpected happens?”
Jiang Xingyi smiled and said, “Little sister, are you concerned about me?”
Jiang Yu did not answer him directly.
She looked at Jiang Xingyi from head to toe and concluded, “With your body, it’s obvious that you can’t fight.”
Jiang Yu had also heard that in the entertainment industry, there were some lecherous people. They liked to pry into the private lives of famous celebrities all day long. Following their cars, picking locks, and the like meant nothing to them. For someone like Jiang Xingyi to come out in the open and not have a bodyguard by his side… That was really a little dangerous.
After being lectured by Jiang Yu, Jiang Xingyi was in a good mood.
“Little Sister, don’t worry. With your big brother’s anti-tracking skill, it won’t be a problem to shake off any trackers.”
Jiang Xingyi started the car. Jiang Yu looked around through the corner of her eyes and realized that there was indeed no one following them, so she didn’t say anything.
That must be it.
Perhaps everyone was busy fighting for tickets. How could they have known that the main character was loitering at the school gate?
Jiang Xingyi brought Jiang Yu to the Cixi Restaurant.
He introduced the place. “This restaurant is famous in Beijing. The dishes are not bad, and the level of privacy is not bad either. I had only managed to get a reservation a few days ago.���
“It’s strange though. In the past, every time I wanted to return to Beijing, I would book the room a few days in advance because I was worried that the dishes would not be available. Sometimes, I wouldn’t even be able to get a reservation half a month in advance. This time, there was only two days advance notice and I actually managed to get a reservation.”
Jiang Xingyi told the person who came forward his reservation number and was led to the private room.
He had been here a few times and knew the layout of the place. When he noticed the waiter leading them to the back of the restaurant, he couldn’t help but say, “We booked an ordinary room, not a VIP room.”
The private rooms in Cixi Restaurant were divided into ordinary private rooms and VIP private rooms. From the names, one could tell that the prices of the two rooms were different. Of course, the environment and level of privacy they offered couldn’t be compared.
Moreover, the VIP rooms also had a special menu curated by the chef. The dishes would definitely be better than the ordinary private rooms.
Cixi Restaurant was a high-class restaurant. By separating their room like this, they could cater to the whims of the upper classes. In addition, the taste of the dishes in the restaurant was indeed top-notch. That was why it was so popular within Beijing.
The waiter said, “Hello, sir. The private room that you requested has been fully booked. Therefore, we have taken the liberty of upgrading your room to a VIP room. Please understand.”
Jiang Xingyi: ???
There’s such an upgrade?
