Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2045: Chapter 2045: Longing to Return (12)

You Zixi chuckled awkwardly, "Let’s play a game, play a game..." but his gaze kept darting over to Chi Gui. What was up with these two?

Ever since Chi Gui gave her his WeChat, he’d felt something was fishy!

Now it seemed there definitely was something!

You Zixi’s gossip radar was burning bright.

Chuzheng didn’t join their game, fiddling with her phone instead, visibly showing signs of impatience.

Her typing speed increased significantly, exuding a murderous aura.

Even Chi Gui could sense it, turning his head to look at her.

Chuzheng kept a straight face, "What are you looking at?"

Chi Gui chuckled dryly, "Who’s looking at you? Don’t be so narcissistic, classmate."

Chuzheng was silent for a few seconds, "I don’t mind."

Chi Gui: "??" You don’t mind what? Who asked you if you mind or not? How am I supposed to respond to that!

Chi Gui quickly turned his head, talking to You Zixi to successfully divert his attention.

Chuzheng put away her phone and, from who knows where, pulled out a physics book to read.

Chi Gui occasionally glanced over and, seeing her flipping through the book at lightning speed, twitched the corner of his mouth.

With her reading speed, what could she possibly absorb?

Everyone was here to have fun, why bring a book!

It wasn’t until they arrived that Chi Gui realized his thinking was a bit off because many from Dongyang Middle School had brought books too.

During breaks between activities, these people would gather to discuss topics together.

Dongyang Middle School must be cursed!

This wasn’t just Chi Gui’s opinion; it was a thought shared by many students at Huahai Middle School.

But more students thought: these people didn’t want to have fun with us, do they really need to belittle us like this? Is their good academic performance something to brag about? Who are they trying to show off to!

The event hadn’t even begun, and sparks of conflict were already flying in the air.

"Everyone, please go to your homeroom teacher to get your room keys. We’re many in number, so you will have to share four to a room, and squeeze together a bit."

The rooms were pre-assigned. Chuzheng didn’t grab a room key, instead she checked her phone.

[134...4892: It’s done according to your instructions, ready to check in at any time.]

Chuzheng exhaled, secretly pumped her fist in encouragement.

Big spender!

I can do it!

Keep going!

Chuzheng went to negotiate with the leading teacher about changing hotels.

-

"This hotel looks pretty good..." Students were busy taking photos and chatting.

"The school really spent a lot this time."

"Better than the place we stayed last year!"

"But it’s not like we won’t end up paying for it, what’s there to be happy about."

"..."

Such a good point, there’s no counterargument.

Everyone gathered, chatting about all sorts of things.

"Brother Chi..." You Zixi waved the room key in hand, "Got it, shall we head up?"

Chi Gui put on a cap, hiding his eyes and only revealing a bit of his hair, with no visible oddities.

He scanned the crowd but didn’t see Chuzheng, then looked away, following You Zixi into the hotel.

The group gradually entered the hotel.

Before they made it upstairs, someone outside called them back out.

"What now?"

"Why are we going back out?"

"Seems we need to change hotels."

"Huh?"

Baffled, they came out and gathered again in an open space, a large crowd of people, teachers from each class yelling like tour guides.

"Teacher, are we changing hotels?"

"Why change hotels? Isn’t this place good enough? I don’t want to move anymore."

"Why does the school keep changing plans? Can’t they respect the students?"

"Suddenly envious of the senior class."

The senior class focused on their studies and didn’t join this friendly outing meant to build relations between the two schools.

Reportedly, senior students at Huahai Middle School were mourning their inability to join.

The old-school teacher delegation: "..." Do these brats have no conscience? All they’re doing is being step-parents to these students.

"The new hotel isn’t far, everyone get on the bus in order, stop making a fuss, just board the bus now!"

Chuzheng was the last to board the bus; You Zixi was discussing hotel matters while Chi Gui sat inside his seat.

And the only available seat on the bus...

Was next to Qin Qiao.

Qin Qiao excitedly waved to Chuzheng, "Beauty, look, this is the kingdom I’ve wrought for you."

Chuzheng: "..." Not really interested.

Also, we’re really not a good match!

Why can’t you just give this poor girl a break!

"Can we switch?" Chuzheng interrupted the enthusiastic You Zixi.

You Zixi blinked, "Sure, sure, sure!" He immediately stood up and gave his seat to Chuzheng.

Chi Gui: "..."

"Thank you."

"No problem, no problem..." You Zixi cheerfully moved over to Qin Qiao’s side, even secretly gesturing encouragement to Chi Gui.

Chi Gui: "..."

Is You Zixi crazy?

Chuzheng sat outside, with Chi Gui unable to escape even if he wanted to, holding in his frustration as he turned his gaze out the window.

The newly assigned hotel wasn’t far, but due to traffic congestion, they stopped and started on the road, taking almost an hour to arrive.

"Where’s the hotel?"

"Don’t tell me the school thought the previous hotel was too expensive, and now they’ve put us in some shack?"

Students alighted and surveyed their surroundings; the only place nearby that could be called a hotel was about fifty meters away, capped with the high-rise "Rongjin Hot Spring Hotel."

This hotel was obviously a five-star establishment... no one ever imagined the school would book such a place for them.

Once everyone entered, they were slightly bewildered.

Are we really staying here?

Did the school win the lottery!?

Or did Huahai Middle School use their relocation funds?

Many students had never stayed at a hotel before; they’d only seen five-star hotels on TV. Walking in and experiencing the visual impact of the architecture and decor left them with much to digest.

The hotel had sent a number of staff to the lobby to welcome them.

Homeroom teachers collected the room keys and distributed them, instructing students to head upstairs according to directions, avoiding congestion in the lobby.

"Has the school gone mad?" You Zixi showed his phone to Chi Gui, "Even the cheapest room here is over a thousand per night."

"The school lets you stay and you stay, why do you care so much, are you a school leader?" Chi Gui pushed the phone away.

"There’s always some mischief when things don’t add up!"

Chi Gui: "..."

Chi Gui’s gaze passed through the crowd, landing in a corner of the lobby.

A girl stood with her back to him, speaking with a man whose demeanor was very respectful.

While Chi Gui eyed them, their conversation ended.

Chuzheng took something from the man and then walked towards them. The man stood back, bowing slightly, not straightening until she was three meters away.

Chi Gui: "..."

"Ch-ch-ch-ch...this place is so beautiful, wanna take some photos? I’ll take them for you, I’m a pro photographer!" Qin Qiao approached Chuzheng energetically, trying hard to sell himself to the big shot.

"Not necessary."

"..."

Chuzheng looked down, rummaged through her hand, and pulled out a card to give to Qin Qiao, "Room key."

Qin Qiao’s eyes lit up, "Thank you, Gold Master. I can’t repay you, so how about I give you the club president’s position!"

Chuzheng: "..."

I don’t want it.

Qin Qiao finished his slogan, then asked curiously, "But why did you get the room key from over there?"
