After all the passengers had boarded, the plane began slowly pulling away from the terminal, and the cabin announcement began explaining the routine flight procedures.
The plane took off soon after.
Su Yang opened the window and watched as the plane gradually climbed higher. He was incredibly excited.
Wow, digging... This really is different. What an amazing feeling.
Ding! Detected the host's first-ever flight. The host is excited. Reward: 800,000.
System, if something happens to the plane, do you have any protective measures for me?
No.
Su Yang: ...
Then what if the plane crashes and I die?
System deactivated.
Fine, fine. Great system.
Su Yang smiled helplessly, though he had only asked on a whim.
The chances of something happening to the plane were still very low. It was just that most people taking a plane for the first time could not help thinking about things like this.
The plane soon climbed to an altitude of ten thousand meters. At that moment, the flight attendant from earlier came over to Su Yang with a cup of iced Americano.
"Sir, your iced Americano."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. If you need anything, you can press the call button above your head."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're too polite~"
The flight attendant turned and left with a beaming smile.
Pan Ning sat to Su Yang's left, but she had put on an eye mask and gone to sleep as soon as the plane took off.
The others also put on their headphones and began resting. Only Su Yang was still full of novelty. After all, this was his first time flying.
He leaned against the window the whole time, watching the sunset outside as the clouds beneath his feet streaked past.
Su Yang watched like that for two whole hours.
The sky gradually grew hazy. Darkness enveloped everything outside, and the plane safely landed at Lu City Airport.
The moment they got off the plane, a powerful wave of heat swept over them.
Su Yang instantly felt as though he could not breathe.
"Damn, why is it so hot?"
"Yeah, Lu City is like this. We seem to have come at the wrong time. We shouldn't have come in summer," Liu Bo said.
Pan Ning rolled her eyes. "Isn't it because your dear Brother Meng called us here?"
Hearing this, Meng Wenzhou said with a grin, "It's fine. I booked a really comfortable hotel. It'll be fine once we get there."
After leaving the airport, they followed the hotel's pickup attendant to the vehicle.
The pickup vehicle was a Toyota Alphard MPV worth over a million yuan.
With the driver included, it could seat seven people.
Starting from Lu City Airport, the car arrived at the five-star Lu City Marriott Hotel after more than forty minutes.
The hotel was very close to the seaside, and its surroundings were elegant as well.
As Su Yang walked, he looked toward the sea. However, it was already completely dark, and he could only see a few scattered points of light on the water.
All the rooms Meng Wenzhou had booked for them were ocean-view suites. Each room cost per night.
After entering the hotel lobby, Meng Wenzhou suddenly turned around and said, "I booked four ocean-view suites. Is that all right?"
"Sure, sure. Since they're free, I'd be fine even if you gave me an ordinary king room, hehe." Zhang Ziming joked from the side.
Hearing this, Su Yang looked at the others and thought, Six people, four rooms?
Unable to hold back, he asked, "Old Meng, why did you only book four rooms?"
Meng Wenzhou smiled. "They only had four ocean-view rooms left here. But that works out perfectly. Is there a problem?"
"Does it...?"
No matter how Su Yang calculated it, he felt something was wrong.
Meng Wenzhou patiently explained, "Look, I get one room, Fatty gets one, Ziming and Yi Xue get one, and you and my sister get one. What's wrong with that?"
"That's... what?!" Su Yang froze. His face nearly seemed to have several huge question marks written all over it.
He had considered countless possibilities, but he had never expected Meng Wenzhou to arrange things this way. Although he was more than willing inside, he truly had not expected it.
Pan Ning was also speechless, but she remained calm. "Exactly how did you conclude that the two of us should share a room?"
Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo exchanged a glance and snickered. "Aren't you two a couple?"
"..."
Su Yang staggered when he heard this and nearly lost his balance. Good grief, how did he manage to tell that Pan Ning and I are a thing?
Seeing this, Meng Wenzhou deliberately said, "Uh, if I misunderstood, should I cancel the room and book two separate rooms for you? But then one person won't get an ocean-view room."
Pan Ning glared at Meng Wenzhou and said helplessly, "Forget it. Let's just do this. What a hassle!"
Su Yang glanced at Pan Ning. Since she had already said that, he naturally would not refuse.
Only an idiot would turn down such an incredible opportunity.
Besides, he had just obtained the God of Wine skill. The two of them would be alone in the same room, and they could have a little drink that night.
As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled upward.
Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo secretly chuckled.
Meng Wenzhou knew Pan Ning's personality very well. From the first time Pan Ning had called them over to drink with her and Su Yang at the nightclub, he had sensed that something was off.
Later, she had even pulled Su Yang into the group chat and suggested that they go camping together. At that moment, he had confirmed that there was something going on between Pan Ning and Su Yang.
Based on his understanding of Pan Ning, if the person was not someone she liked, there was no way she would get so close to him.
Moreover, Meng Wenzhou himself had a very good impression of Su Yang. In his eyes, Su Yang was completely worthy of Pan Ning.
So when booking the hotel this time, he had simply gone along with the situation. In truth, there had not only been four ocean-view rooms left.
It was not peak season at this time of year, and there were still plenty of ocean-view rooms available.
However, only he and Liu Bo knew about this.
After they checked in at the front desk, they took their key cards and returned to their rooms.
Meng Wenzhou said from the side, "Let's go back to our rooms and put away our luggage for a while. Then how about we go have a few drinks? I have a friend in Lu City who owns a bar."
"Great, great, very great." Zhang Ziming raised his hand in approval.
Shen Yixue followed up, "Sure~"
Seeing that no one objected, they each returned to their rooms.
Su Yang and Pan Ning entered their room. The hotel's ocean-view suite was quite spacious, with a living room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. The living room also had an enormous balcony facing the sea.
Downstairs were the hotel's lush woods, lawn, and a large swimming pool, though they were not very visible in the darkness.
Su Yang placed his bag on the sofa and asked, "Which room are you sleeping in?"
"Either one is fine. They're basically the same."
"Ah, what a shame." Su Yang looked around the room as he spoke.
"What's a shame?" Pan Ning asked while setting down her bag.
"It's a shame there are two rooms." Su Yang grinned.
Pan Ning rolled her eyes. "If there were only one room, you'd sleep on the sofa."
Hearing this, Su Yang smiled. "But speaking of which, does that drinking rule of yours still count?"
"Of course it does. I keep my word."
"Then that's good." Having gotten the answer he wanted, Su Yang picked up his bag and casually chose one of the rooms to enter.
