Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

Chapter 179: Chapter 117: Surprise Inspection

Su Ran welcomed Shen Qingning inside, sighing in relief. ’Looks like yesterday’s chicken soup worked.’

With Shen Qingning’s arrival, this became the class’s first full reunion dinner.

After a few rounds of drinks and plenty of food, everyone’s spirits grew higher and higher.

The group moved to Su Ran’s private home theater to start a talent show.

One of the female students went up to dance. Her performance couldn’t be described as being as graceful as ’those four from Shanghai,’ but she earned Su Ran’s most enthusiastic applause.

One by one, they showed off their talents. When it was Shen Qingning’s turn, everyone stared at her, while she stared at her toenails.

Everyone: ???

Shen Qingning: "I don’t have any talents."

Shen Qingning really didn’t have any talents. Unlike all the other students present, she never had the chance to take hobby classes before college. She had to work constantly just to support herself. Su Ran’s assessment of her had always been: ’She’s the old me.’

"Ahem..." Su Ran stood up and patted Shen Qingning’s shoulder. "If you don’t have a talent, just sit down. I’ll go!" He said this to save her from the awkward situation, then walked onto the stage, held up the microphone, and deliberately humblebragged, "Everyone here has heard me sing on a stage in front of tens of thousands of people, right? What song do you want to hear? I’ll sing it for you."

"I’m a Girl."

"Conquer."

"Customer, Can I?"

"Your Chicken Is Too Beautiful."

The group erupted in a chaotic chorus of requests. Su Ran just smiled and said, "How about this? I’ll sing a song that everyone knows, how does that sound?"

"We don’t believe you!"

"Then listen closely."

Ahem...

Su Ran cleared his throat and played a song. He didn’t start from the beginning, instead skipping straight to the chorus. He hit play and immediately raised the mic, shouting the lyrics...

"Love that you walk the dark alleys alone

Love your unkneeling form

Love that you’ve faced down despair

And refused to shed a tear..."

PFFT—

It caught everyone completely off guard. The students nearly choked.

The song had been practically brainwashing everyone for the past few days.

So, everyone rushed up to join in a massive chorus, making funny faces as they sang. This song was meant to be yelled, not sung.

As "Lone Warrior" ended, everyone raised their glasses for a toast.

"Happy New Year’s Day!"

Two of the female students, a bit tipsy, took the opportunity to kiss Su Ran on both cheeks during the toast.

Cao Wo, Wang Dachui, and Zeng Cao all said in unison, "The hell are we drinking for? Let’s go."

"HAHAHA..."

That night, everyone got drunk and stayed over at Su Ran’s villa, Chuyuan. Chuyuan had plenty of rooms. The class of twelve squeezed together, two or three to a bed, and fell asleep. Of course, the male students in the class were decent guys and wouldn’t dare try anything with their female classmates.

Shen Qingning hadn’t had much to drink, so she and Su Ran helped their classmates to their rooms to rest one by one. Afterward, the two of them collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted. Su Ran handed her a drink.

"I was surprised you came today."

"Because I think you were right yesterday, Class President. I can’t look down on myself. Everyone is a classmate and cares about me, so I shouldn’t close myself off."

"Mm."

Su Ran looked at Shen Qingning. It was warm inside the house, so she had taken off her down jacket. She was wearing a fine-knit black wool sweater that perfectly outlined her figure.

"It’s getting late. You should go get some sleep."

Su Ran stood up. He didn’t want to ask about Shen Qingning’s family situation, as asking might just bring up unpleasantness. However, as the class president, Su Ran still said, "I’m the class president. If you run into any trouble in the future, you can come to me."

"Okay, thank you, Class President."

...

The night passed without incident. The next morning, everyone was up, but Su Ran had woken up earlier than all of them and prepared breakfast.

Everyone felt like they were dreaming. Waking up in a huge villa like this was a feeling you only get in dreams. It was just too amazing.

After breakfast, they all went to class together, leaving the house for the cleaning service to handle.

After their ten o’clock class ended, the New Year’s Day holiday officially began.

Su Ran went to the airport with a few classmates who were taking flights back to their hometowns. They all went their separate ways at the security gates.

Shen Qingning didn’t go home.

The plane took off from Jiangning Airport and landed at Shanghai Airport two hours later.

Stepping out of the airport, the one there to greet Su Ran wasn’t Liu Jinyu and the others, but Yasuo.

Su Ran had told them he was on an evening flight. He lied to them, of course. The main reason was that he wanted to quietly go to Demon Dance and see what they were up to.

It was kind of like making a surprise inspection.

When Yasuo saw Su Ran come out, he pulled open the car door to welcome him in, then ran to the front passenger seat and told the driver to go.

The private car stopped at the Maoyue Grand Hotel. After getting out, Su Ran once again received a bouquet of flowers, delivered by Lily as before. Su Ran glanced at her long legs, and Lily teased, "The stockings aren’t torn this time."

"Balenciaga really is good quality."

"Hehehe~"

Back in the presidential suite, after a short rest, Su Ran decided to be mischievous. In the [The ’Shared a Bed’ Crew] group chat, he typed: [@All, what do you guys want to eat? I’ll have Yasuo deliver it to you.]

BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Liu Jinyu: [I’m thirsty. I want a Mango Pomelo Sago.]

Xiao Wanqing: [I want a dessert for afternoon tea.]

Aina: [Yiren and I are together. Send over two orders of luosifen, with extra pickled bamboo shoots.]

Su Ran: [Forget the luosifen. It makes your mouth stink, and I don’t like it.]

Aina: [What does it matter if you like it or not? It’s not like I’m going to kiss you. Just hurry up and order. I barely ate anything for lunch.]

Su Ran: [OK! Send me your respective addresses.]

...

Su Ran sent the afternoon tea orders to Yasuo to have the kitchen prepare them. Then, he rummaged through his suitcase, found a black hooded sweatshirt to change into, and put on a face mask. Now he looked just like a villain.

"OK! Time to go!"

He grabbed the afternoon tea and set off for the Shanghai Dance Academy...
