A Fair Face, a Source of Calamity

Qian Ning and Lu Yuan also saw Liu Chang'an. The two brothers were somewhat surprised. This hotel, invested by Baojun Group, is a boutique designer hotel. Such hotels often receive a plethora of awards at the beginning of their operation, and then a large number of internet celebrities shoot videos here, combining elements such as night view, swimming pool, restaurant, and rooms to promote the hotel. The standard room price on weekdays is over 1,500 yuan per night, which is considered expensive even in Junsha, where international luxury brand hotels have sprung up like mushrooms in recent years.

Liu Chang'an is very poor; he walks to school and walks home. How could he possibly be here alone, booking a hotel room?

Maybe he's looking for a friend... Oh, I remember now, Liu Chang'an earned 200,000 yuan, so he shouldn't be living in such dire straits as before.

Although they disliked Liu Chang'an a bit in high school, now that everyone has graduated, and besides, Liu Chang'an and An Nuan's relationship is clear, Qian Ning and Lu Yuan don't mind Liu Chang'an as much anymore.

"Long time no see!" Qian Ning and Lu Yuan greeted each other warmly.

"Long time no see." Just as others were enthusiastic, Liu Chang'an reciprocated.

"Let's play games here tonight. Lin Xinhuai is here too, let's join in." Lu Yuan's invitation to Liu Chang'an seemed rather sincere.

What kind of gaming is this?

"Honor of Kings? We just played a game of it in the bathroom."

"Isn't Lin Xinhuai a League of Legends player?"

"Hehe, isn't Lin Xinhuai the number one in the Korean server now? We even invited a few friends to come and make us look good. He brought his computer, and he's streaming himself ranking up on his Lin Xinhuai account." Lu Yuan with a hint of pride, then remembered that Liu Chang'an and Lin Xinhuai were also classmates, so there was no point in bragging about it.

Qian Ning reached out to put his arm around Liu Chang'an's shoulder, Liu Chang'an smiled and pushed his arm away, then walked into the room that Lu Yuan had opened.

Besides Lin Xinhuai, there were a few other people Liu Chang'an didn't recognize. It turned out Qian Ning had applied to Xiangnan University, while Lu Yuan, still unable to win the battle with his family, had applied to a prestigious private university in China. The admission scores were similar to Xiangtan University, and the tuition alone was around 100,000 yuan a year. Lu Yuan's father believed that attending such a school would allow him to build connections, which would be beneficial for taking over his family's business later. Although Lu Yuan thought his father's business was insignificant, there was nothing he could do. After all, even though his parents were close, they weren't financially independent.

Today, Lu Yuan invited his classmates and friends over for a small gathering. He's going to register at school tomorrow, so he's going to party all night.

In comparison, most young people prefer to have parties and fun in bars or KTVs. Booking a room in a luxury hotel to play games, and even playing online games in the bathroom, is somewhat novel.

Lu Yuan invited three men and two women. Four of them sat on the sofa playing games, while the remaining girl watched Lin Xinhuai play games.

Lin Xinhuai saw Liu Chang'an, looked up, waved, and smiled. The girl also glanced at Liu Chang'an, then nervously reminded Lin Xinhuai that the enemy jungler was definitely coming to gank.

"Um... do they know each other?" Liu Chang'an, Lu Yuan, and Qian Ning sat on the other side. The four of them were engrossed in playing games and didn't notice that someone else had come in.

"No, the person we introduced is a little fangirl who loves watching League of Legends matches, but she's terrible at it herself. We called Lin Xinhuai over mainly because she insisted," Lu Yuan explained.

Anyway, it's completely over between him and Miao Yingying.

Liu Chang'an nodded, then turned to look at the wall. There was a woman a few rooms away. He wondered if things were completely over between them.

It's probably not that they didn't invite Bai Hui, but rather that Bai Hui didn't want to come.

So it seems like it's all over. Thinking about it, it seems like Qian Ning and Lu Yuan are rarely seen around Bai Hui anymore.

"I envy you guys, still in Junsha," Lu Yuan sighed. "It turns out my dad was going to send me abroad. Luckily, my mom didn't want me to go too far away; I just can't get used to the food in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"That's true. We South Hunan always feel that the food in other places lacks flavor. It's not spicy enough, not salty enough, and the same dishes just don't feel authentic." Qian Ning picked up a spicy crab and started eating.

"Yes," Liu Chang'an agreed.

"Dude, I'd appreciate it if you could look after Bai Hui at school from now on," Lu Yuan said somewhat sadly.

"What are you saying? He has a girlfriend, but he still has me!" Qian Ning said unhappily.

What business is it of yours?

"What good are you anyway? You've all gone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

"I'm willing!"

The two brothers started arguing. After Lin Xinhuai finished hitting someone, he called Liu Chang'an over.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Chang'an left. Lin Xinhuai stood up, pointed at Liu Chang'an towards the camera, and said, "This is my classmate, yes, the one you guys called 'Windmill Bro' from the Affiliated High School."

"Windmill Bro?" Liu Chang'an was puzzled. He looked down at the comments in the live stream and couldn't help but laugh.

These people who love watching live streams are practically professionals at it. They can pick up all sorts of messy things in the live streaming world with ease. After Liu Chang'an beat Ma Benwei in the "Big Windmill" game, these people gave him the nickname "Windmill Bro." Liu Chang'an is from the Affiliated High School, and Lin Xinhuai is also from the Affiliated High School, so someone asked Lin Xinhuai if he knew Windmill Bro.

"My classmate is a real martial arts master. Don't spout nonsense and think you're invincible just because you have a keyboard. He even took down the top dog in the Junsha martial arts world a while ago!" Lin Xinhuai boasted about his mighty classmate again. During the live stream, Lin Xinhuai was still very confident and spirited in his familiar territory. He didn't look as dejected as he did after Miao Yingying threw her shoe at him that day.

"Is it that amazing?" The girl looked at Liu Chang'an with some curiosity and whispered to Lin Xinhuai, "You two can do a live stream together, it might boost your popularity, right?"

Lin Xinhuai smiled. Liu Chang'an and Gao Dewei were both people with extremely high aspirations, and they definitely wouldn't be interested in doing something like this. If they really did do live streaming, Liu Chang'an would definitely become famous. No... he's already quite well-known.

"A martial arts master? Does he know the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?"

"I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but if I hit you all with this keyboard, you'll all die!"

"Yes, a real man should sleep with another man!"

"Windmill Bro, remember when you were criticizing Ma Benwei, I even sent you rockets!" said someone with a long and silly name.

Liu Chang'an waved at the camera to say hello, then walked out of the camera's range. "You can continue your live stream. I just happened to be passing by. I'm leaving now."

"Okay." Lin Xinhuai nodded. He knew that Liu Chang'an and the Lu Yuanqian brothers weren't exactly on good terms.

Just as Liu Chang'an was about to leave, Lu Yuan and Qian Ning ran out, their expressions strange, their fists clenched as if they couldn't control their anger, staring intently at Liu Chang'an.

Beauty is a curse.
