Meanwhile, a crowd had already gathered in the hall.
"Bro, I’m telling you, it took me a lot of effort to get the second brother here. Come on, praise me~" Gu Qize leaned his elbow on the front desk, looking proud.
Si Yuan Yang, whom he called ’bro,’ folded his arms with an expression of speechlessness and turned his face away, pretending not to know him.
Bao Nan quietly leaned against the cashier’s counter, saying nothing.
Even though the two of them ignored him, Gu Qize continued to speak enthusiastically to himself.
"Well... it’s like this..."
"You have no idea I—"
"Was it that fast? I moved house today." Bao Nan’s light words directly interrupted his speech.
Gu Qize opened his mouth, swallowing back all the words he hadn’t finished saying.
With the silence finally restored, Si Yuan Yang sighed with relief.
"Let’s wait for the third brother; his flight seems to be delayed."
Upon hearing this, Bao Nan responded with a faint ’uh-huh’ and fell silent.
The aura he exuded invisibly created a sense of pressure, making the receptionist dare not breathe loudly.
Without Gu Qize’s chatter, the entire front desk seemed somewhat dull and oppressive.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang out, and Jiang Tong walked in.
She arrived at the cashier’s counter, flipping through her wallet while saying, "Please prepare a private room for six people."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Jiang Tong and Bao Nan were only a few centimeters apart, and her sweet scent lingered around him.
Bao Nan’s neck seemed slightly stiff, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
In fact, from the moment Jiang Tong stepped in, he was already stunned.
Later, she walked to his side...
Yes, to his side...
Since that one occasion, he had never been so close to her...
Bao Nan clenched his already sweaty hands, slightly turned his head, and Jiang Tong’s profile came into his view.
The person next to him, is the one he’s thought about day and night...
"Xiao Tong, let me handle it." Tong Dan’s voice successfully pulled him back to reality.
Bao Nan awkwardly turned his face to the other side.
Tong Dan stepped up to the cashier, paused upon seeing him, but still politely greeted, "Young Master Bo."
After all, being the heir of the Bao Family, he still needed to be greeted.
Bao Nan coldly nodded, with a flicker of complexity in his eyes.
Upon hearing the commotion between them, Jiang Tong slightly turned, casting a faint glance at him.
Just that one glance made every cell in Bao Nan’s body scream.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down to avoid losing composure in front of her.
Just now... it seemed she looked at him...
Jiang Tong’s faint glance was enough to make Bao Nan happy for several days.
"Xiao Tong, let me handle it." Tong Dan gently patted Jiang Tong’s head, speaking softly.
He insisted, so Jiang Tong helplessly nodded and retreated to the center of the hall.
Tong Dan gave her a doting smile and pulled out his wallet.
Bao Nan watched their interaction the entire time.
But only when they walked away did his expression dare to turn somber.
"Hey, wasn’t that our school’s ’Flower Girl’ just now?" Gu Qize scratched his head, thinking.
Seeing Bao Nan’s somber expression, Si Yuan Yang thoughtfully supported his chin.
"Yeah." He nodded, responding to Gu Qize.
"Wasn’t that Tong Dan? I remember he was her ex-boyfriend. Seriously, that ’Flower Girl’ is pretty amazing, half of the male idol circle at our school were her ex-boyfriends, right? I think..."
Gu Qize was engrossed in the gossip about Jiang Tong, but then suddenly his forehead was forcefully tapped.
