Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2047: Chapter 2047: Reluctant to Return (14)

Bei Xiaoxiao almost couldn’t resist rushing up to fight with Chuzheng.

In the end, she didn’t because a few teachers came over and walked out together, conveniently separating them.

No matter how bold Bei Xiaoxiao was, she couldn’t act rashly in front of so many teachers, right?

The problem now was, where had their suitcases gone?

After asking around, Bei Xiaoxiao finally got the whereabouts of the suitcases.

The suitcases had been sent to the police station.

Bei Xiaoxiao was shocked: "What’s wrong with you guys? Even if no one takes them, you shouldn’t send them to the police station, right?"

"Here’s the situation: we had a few suitcases here at the hotel that no one claimed for a long time. We couldn’t just open guests’ luggage, so we decided to send them to the police station..."

"Who knew the staff mixed up your suitcases with theirs, we’re really sorry."

The lobby manager came out to explain, his tone sincere, attitude humble, making it hard for anyone to doubt him.

But...

Doesn’t this sound like an excuse?

Do five-star hotels even operate like this?

Even if Bei Xiaoxiao never stayed in one, she knew this wasn’t possible.

She felt targeted...

But then again, Bei Xiaoxiao couldn’t figure out why the hotel would target her.

"Well, you have to get me my suitcase back!" Bei Xiaoxiao suppressed her anger.

The manager continued to apologize: "We’re really sorry, but I’m afraid you’ll have to go to the station yourself."

Bei Xiaoxiao: "Why!"

Manager: "..."

The manager thought for a moment and finally came up with a suitable reason: "Here’s the thing, our hotel does have some regulations, and since your suitcase has been turned over to the police station, they have some processes you need to go through. It would be best if you went in person to confirm."

The manager continued, "How about this, I’ll send someone to accompany you. How does that sound?"

Bei Xiaoxiao: "..."

After Bei Xiaoxiao and the others left, someone nearby leaned over to the manager and asked, "Manager, we don’t have any processes like that for customer service..."

The manager tugged at his tie, exhaled a murky breath, and said in a low voice, "Do more, say less."

"???"

The afternoon itinerary was a museum visit.

This is probably an essential itinerary for middle and high schools, and Dongyang Middle School didn’t dare to challenge the authority, so they obediently sent the students to the museum.

Chuzheng wasn’t really interested in this, but Qin Qiao was very excited and could even say something about these historical things.

"Qin Qiao’s grandfather is an old professor in the archaeology department," Jian You proactively explained, "so she knows a bit about these things."

"Oh." I wasn’t particularly interested in knowing. Chuzheng turned her head with a soul-piercing question, "What’s your relationship? How do you even know what her grandfather does?"

Jian You scratched his head, "Qin Qiao and I live in the same neighborhood."

"Childhood friends."

Jian You: "I guess... that’s about right."

"Oh."

Chuzheng’s ’oh’ seemed to carry some other meaning, but her expression was so indifferent that it made you question if you misunderstood.

"Jian You, quickly help me take a picture!" Qin Qiao called Jian You over like a thief.

Jian You obligingly went over to serve as a temporary photographer.

It would be one thing if Qin Qiao took the pictures by herself, but she also invited Chuzheng to join for a group shot.

Chuzheng coldly refused.

Chuzheng slipped away from Qin Qiao’s side, didn’t look back, and directly found a place to sit downstairs.

"Student Hang, why are you here alone?" A head popped up from behind Chuzheng.

You Zixi grinned and winked at Chuzheng.

"Where’s Chi Gui?"

"Went to buy milk tea." You Zixi hopped over to sit opposite Chuzheng, pulled out his phone, and pressed the voice button to message Chi Gui, "Brother Chi, Student Hang is here too, buy an extra one!"

Chi Gui’s message came back quickly: "Who?"

"Student Hang!" You Zixi said, "Brother Chi, you aren’t that forgetful, are you? You were just sitting together!!"

Chi Gui didn’t reply again.

You Zixi belatedly slapped his forehead, "Student Hang, what kind of milk tea do you like?"

Chuzheng originally wanted to say she didn’t need any, but thinking that Good Person Card would buy one, she changed her mind, "Anything."

"When girls say ’anything,’ it usually means nothing." You Zixi sounded experienced, "Lemon? Mango? Strawberry?"

You Zixi rattled off a list.

Chuzheng could only randomly pick one, and You Zixi grabbed his phone to send it to Chi Gui.

You Zixi curiously asked, "Student Hang, what’s the situation with you and my Brother Chi?"

"Nothing." But there should be something soon.

"I don’t believe it!" You Zixi pressed the table excitedly, "What kind of person is my Brother Chi? He’s known for not being interested in women... or men."

"Not only did he agree to add you on WeChat, but he also let you sit with him. There’s definitely something going on!"

You Zixi spoke so confidently that Chuzheng almost believed him.

Chuzheng pondered for a moment, "...maybe he’s afraid I’ll hit him."

You Zixi: "..."

Saying the same thing yet claiming nothing’s going on, who are you trying to fool!

Just as You Zixi failed to dig out any information, Chi Gui returned with the milk tea.

Chi Gui already stood out because he was tall, making him very noticeable in the crowd.

Today, he was wearing his own clothes: a T-shirt underneath, with a slightly thicker knitwear on top, casually donned black casual pants, white sneakers, giving off a vibe of youthful energy.

"Brother Chi, come, sit." You Zixi obsequiously wiped the chair for Chi Gui.

Chi Gui only bought two cups of milk tea, and You Zixi pulled him, "Brother Chi, didn’t I tell you to buy an extra cup?"

"You planning to drink two cups?"

"No, Student Hang is here too!" Can’t you see?

Chi Gui pulled out a cup and pushed it toward Chuzheng, then tossed the other cup to You Zixi.

You Zixi: "???"

Isn’t there still one cup missing?

You Zixi realized, "Brother Chi, you’re not drinking?"

Chi Gui forced a smile without warmth: "Not drinking."

"But..."

Chi Gui gave him a glare, leaving You Zixi baffled but still closed his mouth without further comment.

"Why aren’t you visiting the museum?" Chi Gui raised an eyebrow at Chuzheng.

Chuzheng’s tone was calm: "Not interested."

Chi Gui: "Then how do you plan to write your review?"

Chuzheng: "..."

What did you say?!

There’s a review too?

Isn’t that homework for elementary students?

"You didn’t know?"

"Brother Chi, we don’t have the same teacher, maybe Student Hang’s class wasn’t assigned this homework."

Chuzheng secretly sighed in relief.

However, before she could fully relax, Chi Gui said, "I just heard other classes also need to write one, everyone participating in this autumn outing has to."

Chuzheng: "..."

Is this school out of its mind!!

Chuzheng inhaled steadily, glancing at the person opposite, "Why aren’t you looking around?"

Chi Gui chuckled, tilting his head slightly, "We at Huahai Middle School don’t do homework."

"..."

I have no rebuttal to that.

Chi Gui kindly reminded, "Are you sure you don’t want to take a look around?"

"No need." With Qin Qiao’s photo-taking frequency, other than places where photos aren’t allowed, she’ll see everything.

And given Qin Qiao’s enthusiasm towards her, she should see the photos without effort.

So it’s just like visiting the museum myself!

I am truly a genius!
