Li couldn’t help but twitch his lips when he heard the word “partner.”
He secretly glared at Su Jiang, then shook hands with Xie Guci in a friendly manner.
“You guys go ahead and check in. I’ll take you out to dinner later.”
Xie Guci smiled and said to Li Cai, “Our Xizhou barbecue here is famous for being delicious.”
Li Cai and An Rou couldn’t help but look at Xie Guci curiously.
Although this person was Su Jiang’s friend,
He was quite different from Su Jiang in every way.
He was, well, more like a real person.
Sensing Li Cai and An Rou’s unusual gazes, Su Jiang asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Do I have something on my face?”
“No, nothing. Let’s go check in first.”
An Rou held Fugui in her arms, pulled Su Jiang, and strode towards the hotel.
Li Cai followed closely behind with his luggage.
Xie Guci wanted to help, but Li Cai politely refused.
After all, the luggage wasn’t much, he could carry it all by himself.
After the three of them entered the hotel, Shangguan Lu walked up to Xie Guci, looked at Su Jiang and An Rou’s backs, and whispered, “No wonder you insisted on me coming out, it was to save face, wasn’t it?”
“Hee hee, mainly because Su Jiang that guy is too annoying, and I also have a girlfriend, why do I have to watch him show off?”
Xie Guci chuckled, gently put his arm around Shangguan Lu’s waist, and held up four fingers.
“I promise, just for one day, we won’t be discovered.”
Shangguan Lu rolled her eyes at him. “You should know that our relationship can’t be exposed for now, right?”
“Otherwise, if my father finds out, you and your family will have a headache for a while.”
As soon as these words came out, Xie Guci immediately felt a headache.
He sighed softly. If it wasn’t for this, he would have already publicly declared his relationship with Shangguan Lu, openly and proudly.
He wouldn’t have to be sneaking around like this.
Even when picking up Su Jiang, he had to plan his route in advance to avoid being noticed.
Because once their relationship was exposed, on a larger scale, the entire situation in Xizhou would have to change.
“Alright, alright, I’ll try my best to make it happen, so we can go public sooner, okay?”
Xie Guci took Shangguan Lu’s hand and whispered sweetly.
Shangguan Lu smiled without saying anything.
But Xie Guci knew it was a sign that she was happy.
“What?!”
At that moment, a shout came from Li Cai not far away.
Xie Guci rushed over to see what had happened.
Three people and a cat stood at the hotel reception, looking serious.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” Xie Guci asked Su Jiang urgently.
“It’s a big deal… There are only two rooms left,” Su Jiang said solemnly.
“Uh… What’s the problem with that?” Xie Guci looked at the three of them. “You and An Rou share one room, Li Cai gets the other, isn’t that perfect?”
At this moment, the receptionist explained.
“It’s like this, there are only two king-size beds left, so the allocation seems… a bit awkward.”
It is known that An Rou, because of her shyness and reserve, does not want to share a room with Su Jiang.
Li Cai and Su Jiang dislike each other and don’t want to share a room with each other.
Question: Where should Fugui stay?
Fugui, in An Rou’s arms, trembled and dared not speak.
Because the three of them were arguing about who gets which room, they completely forgot to mention where to put Fugui.
Xie Guci was overwhelmed after hearing this.
Shouldn’t you have booked rooms in advance before leaving?
“I’m a girl, I should have a room by myself!” An Rou said.
“Whatever, I’m not sharing a room with Su Jiang anyway,” Li Cai said.
Su Jiang looked left and right.
Then he took a deep breath and said, “In that case, let’s draw lots.”
He asked for a piece of paper from the front desk, tore it into three pieces – two long and one short.
“The person who draws the short one will stay at the hotel across the street.”
There was another hotel across the street, but the environment was a bit inferior.
After some consideration, An Rou and Li Cai agreed to this decision.
To ensure fairness, they decided to have Xie Guci hold the pieces of paper.
To prevent Su Jiang from cheating.
Xie Guci took the pieces of paper with a confused look, and Shangguan Lu was speechless.
What kind of development was this?
The three of them drew a piece of paper with serious expressions. Su Jiang kept taking deep breaths to calm his racing heart.
He hadn’t been this nervous even during a typhoon on a deserted island.
“Go!”
The three of them pulled out their pieces of paper at the same time, and the unlucky one who had to stay at the other hotel was…
Su Jiang.
“Pfft!”
An Rou and Li Cai covered their mouths, stifling their laughter.
Su Jiang, who had proposed the game, ended up losing.
“That’s settled then, Li Cai and I will each have a room!”
An Rou said with a smile, “You’ll have to tough it out and stay at the hotel across the street.”
Su Jiang looked at the piece of paper in his hand in disbelief, unwilling to accept reality.
“Tsk.” Xie Guci walked over and patted Su Jiang’s shoulder, “All these years have passed, and your luck is still as stable as ever.”
Since Su Jiang had proposed the game, Xie Guci had a hunch who would lose.
Because in high school, Su Jiang had never won any games of chance.
He was both bad at it and loved playing it.
But he was a good sport about losing.
Su Jiang, with tears in his eyes, slung his small suitcase over his shoulder and walked towards the hotel across the street, looking back every three steps.
He carried Fugui, who had a sad face, in his hand.
“Meow?” Why are you taking me?
“What are you meowing about? As my cat servant, shouldn’t we share the same fate?”
“Meow!” I take care of my own poop!
Just as the man and the cat were arguing, a strange meow suddenly rang out.
“Meow?” Brother Biao?
Su Jiang and Fugui froze, turning their heads to follow the sound.
They saw a tabby cat looking at them with a startled expression.
When it saw Fugui’s face, it meowed again.
“Meow?” Brother Biao, how did you become a house cat?
As Fugui remained silent, the tabby cat meowed even louder.
Su Jiang could tell it was mocking Fugui.
He lowered his head and asked Fugui, “Should I beat him up for you?”
“Meow.” Let me down for a second.
Fugui calmly raised his paw, signaling Su Jiang to release his scruff.
Cat matters, let cats handle them themselves.
After landing, Fugui instantly pounced on the tabby cat, unleashing a flurry of cat punches.
Su Jiang was initially worried that he wouldn’t be able to win, as the tabby cat’s fighting ability was no joke.
But Fugui was actually completely dominating the tabby cat.
“Bang bang bang—”
“Meow?” I’m giving you face, you know?
“Bang bang bang—”
“Meow meow?” You dare meow in front of me now?
“Bang bang bang—”
“Meow, meow meow?” So what if I’m a house cat, did I eat your sausage?
Fugui beat up the tabby cat while meowing dirty words.
Su Jiang was speechless.
Was this the same pitiful little white cat from downstairs?
This was eight years old?
