Chapter 229: Chapter 194: Genius and Changing Rooms

「Ten minutes later.」

The Bosu V260L slowly pulled up to the main entrance of the Howl Hall Hongqi Street Store.

As the automatic door slid open, Gu Heng stepped out with Liu Nanyi and the other two girls, and they walked straight into Roar Hall.

Zhong Hua, who had been in the front passenger seat, signaled to two men from the Hongqi Guoyao cars in front and behind them. They silently followed Gu Heng inside.

"Should we go straight to the private room?"

Gu Heng glanced at Liu Nanyi and asked casually.

"Yaoyao just sent a message. She said we should go straight to the room."

Liu Nanyi nodded. "Her boyfriend has already gotten the room and ordered the drinks."

"Let’s go, then."

Gu Heng gave a slight nod and led the way toward the elevators.

Red Flag Street and Guilin Road were the two main bustling commercial districts in Beichun, frequented by crowds of young people every day. So, even though it was a Thursday, the place was still very lively.

The private room Gao Junlin had booked was a deluxe suite on the third floor of Roar Hall.

Gu Heng and the others took the elevator up. When they pushed open the door to the room, they saw it was just as Liu Nanyi had described. The drinks had already been ordered; two square tables were covered with cans of Budweiser, along with two large fruit platters and various snacks.

"Where are Yaoyao and the others?"

Su Tang asked Liu Nanyi as she took off her coat.

"They’ll be here soon."

"Five minutes."

Liu Nanyi also took off her bulky down jacket, revealing the pretty floral spaghetti-strap dress underneath, and sat down right next to Gu Heng.

Just like that, there was only one empty seat left beside Gu Heng.

"Then let’s wait for them."

Just as Su Tang was tempted to take the seat, Lin Qingge beat her to it, naturally sitting down next to Gu Heng. She then smiled at Liu Nanyi and Su Tang and said the words.

Seeing this, a strange look flashed in both girls’ eyes.

’Qingge...’

’She seems a bit too forward today!’

The same thought flashed through both their minds.

Gao Junlin was the one treating them to karaoke. Although the invitation was framed as a celebration for Liu Nanyi’s birthday and a way to repay her for arranging their last meal, he was still the one paying. It was only right to wait for him to arrive before they started singing and drinking.

So, the four of them sat in the private room, chatting idly while they waited.

But after waiting for more than ten minutes, the others still hadn’t shown up.

"What’s going on?"

"Why aren’t Yaoyao and her group here yet?"

Su Tang glanced at the time on her wrist, a look of confusion on her face.

"I’ll call and ask."

Liu Nanyi picked up her phone from the table. But just as she was about to call Feng Yao, a clamor of footsteps and laughter could be heard from outside the room.

The next second, the door to the room was pushed open.

Feng Yao was the first to walk in, followed by Gao Junlin and the rest of his group.

In addition to Gao Junlin and his three roommates, there were five unfamiliar men who looked to be about the same age.

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow at the sight, while Liu Nanyi, Su Tang, and Lin Qingge all furrowed their brows in clear displeasure.

"Come, come!"

"Let me make some introductions!"

"This is Wu Zixiang, one of our upperclassmen! He’s a sophomore at Ji Ti University."

"A national-level athlete in the 100-meter dash!"

Gao Junlin introduced him with great enthusiasm, his arm slung around the man’s shoulders.

"Hello, everyone!"

After Gao Junlin finished his introduction, Wu Zixiang waved to the group.

At that moment, his gaze fell upon Su Tang and the other two girls, who had shed their bulky down jackets. An irrepressible look of awe and admiration filled his eyes.

’They’re gorgeous!’

Even the dim lighting of the private room couldn’t hide the three girls’ devastating beauty.

"Nanyi, our senior here was having a party in the room next door."

Gao Junlin stood at the front and asked Liu Nanyi directly in front of everyone, "We just ran into each other. I figured the more the merrier, and since we’re all the same age, I invited them over. You don’t mind, do you?"

"I don’t mind."

Liu Nanyi forced a smile.

Gao Junlin had already brought them all inside and was asking her in front of everyone. What else could she say?

"Come on in, come on in!"

"Seniors, sit wherever you like!"

Gao Junlin played the part of the host, beckoning to everyone. "It’s a good thing I booked the deluxe suite, or we really wouldn’t all fit."

"Junlin, we still have a lot of drinks left in our room."

Originally, Wu Zixiang hadn’t actually intended to move rooms. He was just planning to come over for a drink with Gao Junlin and then head back. But after seeing Liu Nanyi and the two other girls, he instantly changed his mind. "Let’s bring those drinks over. No sense in letting them go to waste."

"No need, no need."

"I’ll just have a server bring them."

Gao Junlin was all smiles, playing the eager host.

You have to understand, Ji Ti University wasn’t like Yan Ti. At Yan Ti, national-level athletes were a dime a dozen, but at Ji Ti, they were treasures—especially a national-level athlete in a high-prestige event like a track sprint.

At a sports university, the strong always reign supreme.

With such achievements, Wu Zixiang naturally became a campus celebrity at Ji Ti.

Gao Junlin’s family might have been wealthy, but he was ultimately still young and naive. He had a natural sense of hero-worship for campus celebrities like Wu Zixiang and thought that becoming friends with them was a huge deal.

The once-spacious private room suddenly became boisterous as ten more people flooded in.

While Gao Junlin and the others were calling for servers to bring more alcohol, Feng Yao sat down next to Liu Nanyi.

"Yaoyao, what is your boyfriend doing?"
