In the afternoon, they took Zheng Yanyan and the others to visit Zhouzhuang, and in the evening, they strolled around the Kunshan city center. Initially, it was Zhou Yuwen who took Lu Lin and Zheng Yanyan, later meeting up with Su Qing and the others.
Su Qing, having been lectured by Zhou Yuwen, was somewhat downcast and stopped provoking Zheng Yanyan, but just as Su Qing was starting to behave, Zheng Yanyan became restless again.
On the way back to Suzhou that evening, Zheng Yanyan kept showing affection with Zhou Yuwen in the passenger seat, talking about the places Zhou Yuwen had taken her to.
Such beautiful places and so on.
"Zhou Yuwen, why does it feel like you've been everywhere?" Zheng Yanyan was very satisfied with Zhou Yuwen as her boyfriend and smugly glanced at Su Qing through the rearview mirror.
However, she noticed Su Qing staring thoughtfully out the window, showing no reaction to what she had said.
This disappointed Zheng Yanyan quite a bit.
Actually, Su Qing had definitely heard what Zheng Yanyan said, but Su Qing found it quite amusing. The source of thɪs content is novel-fire.ɴet
Why had Zhou Yuwen been to so many places?
It was obviously with her.
Really, what's so fun about being a little girl?
If it weren't for Zhou Yuwen telling Su Qing not to argue with Zheng Yanyan, Su Qing could have shut her down in a few words.
By the time they returned to the hotel, it was almost 8 PM—after a day of fun in Zhouzhuang, they were indeed a bit tired. Zheng Yanyan and Shen Yu said that their WeChat pedometer showed twenty thousand steps.
Curious, Shen Yu said, "I only have over ten thousand steps, why do you have so many?"
"I took another tour around the Lingering Garden in the morning!"
Zheng Yanyan was quite happy that day, marking her first trip since starting university and she snapped many beautiful photos.
After Zhou Yuwen parked the car, they each took their luggage to the hotel lobby to check into their rooms.
Chang Hao, being from the Capital City, had booked a decent hotel for the students—it wasn't low-end. It was a city boutique hotel with a light luxury theme. Though it hadn't achieved star-rating status, its amenities nearly matched those of star-rated hotels, being more simplistic, like setting up a small bar and a reading corner in the lobby.
No sooner had Zhou Yuwen and the few girls entered the bar than they saw a cluster of students from their class around a nearby conference table, with Li Qiang being the first to notice Zhou Yuwen.
"Hey, Old Zhou, I thought you weren't coming back today!"
Zhou Yuwen looked back and saw about eight or nine people seated at the conference table—people he knew well, like Li Qiang and Chang Hao, and then there was Jiang Chao and Gu Yaoyao.
Seeing Zhou Yuwen enter, Chang Hao stood up to greet him. Arranging the hotel for the class was his responsibility, and he had negotiated a discount with the hotel. Now that Zhou Yuwen was there, he was definitely going to help Zhou Yuwen book a room.
Despite wanting to help with the luggage, mainly seeing the girls carrying big and small bags, Chang Hao refrained, mostly to avoid any misinterpretations, so he didn't offer to help Zheng Yanyan with her luggage.
After a while, he took the initiative to speak to Shen Yu: "Shall I help you?"
"Ah, thanks, but no need." Unfortunately, Shen Yu declined the offer.
Zhou Yuwen requested two rooms at the front desk.
The front desk clerk said that the twin rooms were all booked.
Chang Hao found this strange, "I thought I asked you to save two rooms?"
"Uh, yes, but then our members wanted to book rooms, so..." the clerk stuttered.
Chang Hao frowned slightly, intending to argue further.
Zhou Yuwen didn't seem to mind and simply asked if there were any suites available.
The hotel, an eight-story building, had a scenic suite on the top floor, comprising two bedrooms and a living room. The living room was spacious, designed for hosting birthday or banquet gatherings, but it was pricier, especially since it was a weekend, costing two thousand eight hundred yuan per day.
Zhou Yuwen pulled out his credit card and said, "Alright, that will do, book it for two days."
When the front desk saw Zhou Yuwen booking such an upscale room, there was indeed a slight astonishment in their eyes—they initially thought Zhou Yuwen was sharing a room with those four students but didn't expect him to be so affluent.
When Zhou Yuwen took out his credit card, the expressions of those around him noticeably changed, like Chang Hao who was about to argue the matter, suddenly realizing that having money really can save a lot of hassle.
And then there was Li Qiang, observing from a distance. Honestly, Chang Hao, who was standing next to Zhou Yuwen, looked rather silly, but the way Zhou Yuwen paid made Li Qiang hopeful for the future; he wanted to be like Zhou Yuwen.
Then there were Gu Yaoyao and her dorm mates watching from further back.
Two hundred yuan for a room, their class had booked ten rooms totaling two thousand yuan, requiring four people to cram into one. Although two large beds pushed together could barely accommodate them,
who wouldn't want a higher quality of life?
Compared to their messy thoughts, Zheng Yanyan didn't have much on her mind. Born into a wealthy family, she took it for granted that Zhou Yuwen booked such an expensive room.
Standing next to Zhou Yuwen, she felt like a pampered little princess.
While Zhou Yuwen was paying with his card, she merely asked the hotel clerk if the bathtub in the room was usable?
The clerk confirmed, "They are usable; we clean the bathtubs in the suites daily."
"If you're concerned, we have disposable bath bags." The clerk answered comprehensively.
Being with Zhou Yuwen might not highlight the peculiarities of a few girls like Zheng Yanyan.
