Chapter 125: Chapter 125: The Video Goes Viral! Their First Time Getting a Room

From a distance, Su Qinghe saw Gu Yifan leaning against his car door, smoking a cigarette, so she hurried over.

Before Gu Yifan could say anything, Su Qinghe preemptively explained, "There were a lot of people and a line inside, so... so it took a little while."

"Mhm."

"It’s fine. Here, have some water. I’ll just finish this cigarette, then we’ll get going."

Gu Yifan nodded and casually handed her a bottle of water.

"O-okay."

Su Qinghe took the water, nodded, and then stood quietly to the side, waiting.

"Alright, let’s get back on the road!"

Gu Yifan declared with a wave of his hand.

...

This time, Su Qinghe didn’t fall asleep. She kept Gu Yifan company the entire way, and the two of them chatted on and off.

Of course, it was mostly Gu Yifan doing the talking, while she would occasionally add a few quiet words.

「Meanwhile.」

The video of Gu Yifan’s performance, which had originally gone viral just on Weibo, suddenly blew up on all major platforms, spreading like wildfire and detonating across the entire internet...

No one knew who shared it first.

In short, it went from one share to ten, ten to a hundred, then thousands, then tens of thousands. People were frantically sharing and commenting.

"Holy shit! What kind of godly voice is that?!"

"Fucking incredible! I love this voice!"

"For real, this person’s singing is definitely professional-grade! I mean, to sing that well without any professional equipment is just insane!"

"Right? With his vocals and looks, he could debut right here and now!"

"Everything the commenter above said is spot on! I’m all about visuals, and even though I don’t get music, this guy is so handsome! I’m totally in love!"

"This video is so blurry! Does anyone have the original? Willing to pay for it!"

"The guy is definitely handsome, but... am I the only one who noticed the girl in the crowd who’s as beautiful as a goddess?"

"Damn, bro, you’ve got a sharp eye!"

"Holy shit, I wouldn’t have even noticed if you guys didn’t point it out. That girl is gorgeous!"

"I’m a girl, and I’m still crushing on the guy. Does anyone know who he is?!"

"Me too! Does anyone have this handsome guy’s contact info? I want to have his babies!"

"+1"

"Holy shit, has it really passed ten million views already? Damn! Based on my years of experience as a professional keyboard warrior, this guy’s about to blow up!"

...

Countless people were discussing Gu Yifan’s video in the comments. It was the same on every platform, and in no time, the combined total of likes and views across all of them shot past one hundred million!

Suddenly, the entire internet was searching for Gu Yifan, desperate to find out his real identity!

As it so happened, the group chat for Class 1 of the third-years at Mountain City First Middle School was also exploding.

It was all because someone had forwarded the video to the group and tagged @everyone!

Chen Ming: "Hey everyone! Come take a look! Isn’t the guy in the video our ’Academic God,’ Gu Yifan?!"

Xia Yuhe: "Let me see, let me see!"

Luo Yonghao: "Holy crap! The video quality is pretty garbage, but I can still tell that really does look like Gu Yifan!"

Pan Simin: "Wow, I had no idea our classmate Gu Yifan could sing that well!"

Arts Committee Member Chen Jiahao: "Holy shit! What a godly voice! If I’d known back during the campus singing competition, I would have forced him to participate, no matter what!"

Academic Committee Member Li Minghao: "What do you mean it’s him? The video is so blurry, you can’t even be sure!"

Chen Qiqi: "Is someone feeling a little sour? I smell lemons! (#^.^#)"

Ye Meiling: "Hahaha, I think so too!"

Class President Ye Tianlong: "Well, we’ll know if it’s Gu Yifan if we just ask him!"

Chen Yongji: "Right, right, right! @Gu Yifan, Academic God, come out and tell us, is that you in the video?!"

Instantly, a crowd of people in the class group chat started frantically tagging @Gu Yifan.

...

However, Gu Yifan was currently focused on driving on the highway.

’As for the class group chat?’

’Haven’t I always had that thing muted?’

So, he had absolutely no idea about any of the things happening on the internet and in his class group chat.

At 12:20 PM.

The two of them finally crossed into the Tan State region.

"Welcome to Tan State!"

Gazing at the large words written above the toll booth in the distance, Gu Yifan turned to Su Qinghe with a slight smile. "Su Hanhan, we’re in Tan State!"

"Mhm."

Su Qinghe nodded.

She turned to look at the scenery outside the window, her curious gaze darting all around.

This was the first time in her life she had ever been to Tan State.

Seeing her look around like a curious kitten, Gu Yifan smiled slightly but didn’t say anything else. He drove off the highway and slowly approached the toll booth.

After paying the toll, Gu Yifan looked up the hotel’s location and set the GPS to navigate there directly.

...

At 12:50 PM.

Gu Yifan’s car pulled to a stop in front of a five-star hotel.

Yes, that’s right.

Gu Yifan had booked a five-star hotel.

He wasn’t short on money, after all, so there was no reason to not treat himself well.

’After all, what’s money for if not to be spent?’

"We’re here."

He said, turning to Su Qinghe.

"Oh, okay."

Su Qinghe nodded lightly, and then the two of them got out of the car.

As soon as they got out, a hotel valet approached, respectfully took Gu Yifan’s car keys, and went to park the car.

You had to admit, the service at a five-star hotel was truly excellent.

They didn’t even have to get their luggage; a staff member would bring it up to their room for them.

The moment they walked into the hotel, the lobby manager greeted them with a professional smile. "Sir, ma’am, how may I help you?"

"I have a reservation. The last name is Gu."

"Of course, Mr. Gu. Please follow me."

The two of them then followed the lobby manager to the front desk to check in.

Looking at the hotel’s magnificent and opulent decor, Su Qinghe couldn’t help but feel a strange wave of nervousness.

However, when she found out that Gu Yifan had only booked a single room, she grew even more nervous.

Before long, the lobby manager finished checking them in. She had offered to escort them upstairs,

but Gu Yifan noticed Su Qinghe’s nervousness, so after a moment’s thought, he politely declined.

After taking the room key and ID card from the lobby manager, Gu Yifan took Su Qinghe’s hand, and the two of them entered the elevator.

The lobby manager didn’t say anything more. She pressed the button for their floor and then respectfully excused herself.

...

As the elevator ascended, Su Qinghe grew increasingly nervous. She truly hadn’t expected Gu Yifan to book only one room. Although they had slept in the same room before, this was her first time getting a hotel room with a guy!

’What if he wants to... Should I resist?’

...
