Chapter 126: Chapter 125: Your Roommate is Too Handsome
Qi Yue counted the days on her fingers, too excited to sleep, and finally, it was the next day.
“The delivery is supposed to arrive today,” she mused, yearning to ask if it had come, but too embarrassed to appear too eager, especially since Gu Huai was undoubtedly very busy.
So, she could only wait patiently.
When the appointed time came, to keep up the lie, she couldn’t rush over immediately with Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang.
Oh, hindsight is 20/20!
Meanwhile, in the birthday private room.
...
When Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang arrived, they were both surprised to find the room packed with quite a few people.
“Is it supposed to be this crowded?” Song Qiuqiu exclaimed in surprise.
Su Xiaotang was also puzzled, “Didn’t Ling Feng say his birthday was already over, and this was just a simple get-together…?”
“Ah! It’s mainly because I’m too handsome! My popularity is high! There’s nothing I can do about it!” Ling Feng boasted, having appeared out of nowhere, full of pride.
Song Qiuqiu glanced at Ling Feng, then at the room full of people, and spoke with deep meaning, “Are you sure it’s because you’re handsome, and not because your roommate is handsome?”
The exposed Ling Feng’s face immediately darkened: “…”
Ling Feng had been grumbling these days about the scare he got on his birthday. Gu Huai might have felt guilty and rare as it was, took the initiative to propose a gathering, sort of a birthday redo for him.
Ling Feng thought the suggestion was good and took the opportunity to invite a few other friends who couldn’t make it the last time.
Jiang Lang felt that just a bunch of guys eating together wasn’t very interesting, so he suggested they invite Song Qiuqiu and the others as well, and Gu Huai didn’t object, so it was settled.
As a result, once word got out that Gu Huai would be there, Ling Feng’s two friends’ girlfriends immediately said they wanted to tag along, followed by their girlfriends’ besties… and so on.
Eventually, the number of people coming to celebrate his birthday kept growing until they nearly couldn’t fit into the largest private room, making it even grander than his actual birthday celebration…
No sooner had Song Qiuqiu finished speaking than Jiang Lang joined in, “He’s not the only roommate of Gu Huai, why couldn’t it be me?”
Song Qiuqiu gave him a withering look: “Please don’t make ridiculous claims with your eyes wide open!”
Jiang Lang: “Come on! It was me who suggested it to Ling Feng the day before yesterday, and that’s why he thought to invite you guys. Is this how you treat me?”
“You? Would you be so kind-hearted?” Song Qiuqiu crossed her arms and looked skeptical.
In reality, they didn’t socialize much, only occasionally joking around in the group chat, mostly about Gu Huai’s dramatic stories, which meant they weren’t close enough to attend each other’s birthdays.
Especially Jiang Lang—almost every time they talked, they ended up in a spat, like oil and water, so his initiative to invite them was something she had a hard time believing.
“How can I not be kind-hearted? You, woman, ought to speak with a conscience!” he retorted.
Seeing that the two were about to start bickering again, Ling Feng stepped in to interrupt, “Hey, stop fighting! The important thing is, did you bring the birthday presents?”
Song Qiuqiu looked at him speechlessly, “You’re hosting a second gathering for a perfectly good birthday, just to collect more presents? Aren’t you a bit too shameless!”
The moment Ling Feng heard this, he immediately took offense, “Perfectly good? What do you mean by perfectly good! Why don’t you ask your wonderful roommate what he did? Do you have any idea what kind of trauma my fragile heart suffered on my birthday???”
