The private rooms were on the third floor.
They heard voices inside before they even entered.
Han Baichuan took the lead, pushing open the door and walking in.
Bai Chen and the others followed close behind.
"Hahaha-Fang, long time no see! How have you been lately?"
The three people inside looked over at him.
There were two men and one woman. Han Baichuan and the others didn't know the other two.
The slender young man in the middle wore a mask and a baseball cap, keeping his features thoroughly concealed.

"Yeah, long time no see." Bai Chen went with whatever felt natural to say.

They were supposed to attend a celebration
