Chapter 74: A Coincidence
“Just you alone?”
“Yeah.”
“If your friend comes, tell him to register with me first.”
“Okay.”
An Han didn’t understand why the boss thought he would bring a friend, but after meeting three times, it was clear the boss already had a strong impression of him.
After all, he checked in wearing men’s clothes and left wearing women’s clothes twice. If he were the boss, he definitely wouldn’t stay as calm.
The boss looked around thirty or forty years old and ran a small hotel. Compared to a young guy like him, the boss had clearly seen all kinds of strange things.
Inside the hotel room, after preparing everything, all An Han could do now was wait.
He had brought his charger in advance so he wouldn’t be bored while waiting.
“Now I just have to wait for Brother Long’s message.”
His mind was full of Wang Yu’s cold face. Just imagining that guy becoming warm and excited toward him later made him laugh out loud.
He patiently waited in the hotel until midnight. Then he finally received a message from Long Xing.
“The club president drank too much and is going back early.”
Perfect!
Earlier, An Han had been worried that Wang Yu might return with the whole group. But now, this was exactly the situation he had hoped for.
He immediately got up from the bed, put on the system’s chest wrap, and rushed out.
To be honest, he still didn’t understand why the chest wrap, something that took away the “charm” of having a chest, could still attract men.
It was already late at night, and the hotel owner was sleeping on a folding bed behind the front desk. After checking that the boss was asleep, and therefore wouldn’t increase his favorability toward him, An Han quickly headed toward the school’s back gate.
As the school’s iron fence came into view, his heart became more nervous.
He had imagined everything so easily before, but now he worried something unexpected might happen.
His past pranks had never put himself at risk like this.
There weren’t many people on the street. Standing alone under the dim streetlights, he waited at the small open area near the back gate. But even after a while, there was no sign of Wang Yu.
“Don’t tell me he already went inside?”
Logically, the distance from the food stalls to the school gate should be about the same as the distance from his hotel to the gate. And he even came running.
“Maybe he hasn’t come back yet?”
“If he drank too much, where else would he go?”
“He wouldn’t… go to a hotel to rest, right?”
An Han’s face changed.
He had forgotten that the school fence had already been fully repaired. A drunk person wouldn’t be able to climb over the wall alone.
Just like what happened with Long Xing before.
Oh no!
There were many small hotels near the school. Who knew which one Wang Yu went to?
He looked around again, still no sign of him. He couldn’t keep standing there.
If he stayed too long, he might run into some weird drunk guy, that would be a disaster.
A bit upset, An Han sighed. His perfect plan was now completely ruined. He had no choice but to head back to the hotel.
“Forget it, forget it. Doing something like this isn’t very nice anyway.”
“Even though… it would’ve been fun…”
He had already paid for the hotel, and he couldn’t get back into school by himself. So he might as well return to the room and sleep.
“I can’t believe I forgot something this important…”
Mumbling to himself, he pushed open the hotel door. The moment he looked up—
He saw Wang Yu standing at the front desk, yawning nonstop.
“!!!”
An Han was completely stunned. His steps froze, and he stood there blankly staring at Wang Yu.
“Boss, wake up, there’s a guest.”
Wang Yu looked sleepy but not very drunk. He tapped lightly on the counter, but the hotel owner, who was sleeping inside, didn’t wake up.
Wang Yu scratched his head helplessly. He was about to knock harder when, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed An Han standing at the door.
Wang Yu paused for a moment and casually said, “What a coincidence.”
“It really is…”
An Han still hadn’t recovered from the shock. He didn’t know what to do, and even his words came out stuttering. “Um… are you… getting a room?”
“Yeah. I drank a bit too much, so I want to sleep here tonight.”
“My room is pretty big…”
As soon as he said that, he froze, wanting to slap himself hard.
What the hell am I saying?!
I’m even wearing the chest wrap right now!
Sharing a room with Wang Yu is basically handing myself over for free!
But Wang Yu didn’t hesitate at all. “Sure. Which room?”
“201.”
Since he had already said it, he couldn’t take it back. He could only plan to settle Wang Yu in his room, then go open a different room for himself.
Anything was better than spending the whole night with Wang Yu.
[Wang Yu’s favorability toward you +10]
It started!
An Han’s heart squeezed tight, then suddenly began beating rapidly.
His palms got sweaty. He already regretted acting so carelessly.
His original plan was to meet Wang Yu outside on the street so he could run away if anything unexpected happened. But now the whole thing was happening inside a hotel room.
“Follow me.”
He focused harder than ever, afraid to miss any system notification, and silently kept track of Wang Yu’s favorability.
They always increased in whole numbers, easy to count.
[Wang Yu’s favorability toward you +7]
“……”
“Why are you here?”
“I was out with friends too late. The school gate was already closed, so I’m just staying here for the night.”
Walking in front to lead the way, An Han kept secretly glancing back at Wang Yu’s eyes.
If they suddenly turned hazy like Su Peng’s did last time…
But wait! This guy had been drinking! His eyes were supposed to be a little unfocused anyway!
His expression, however, didn’t look affected by alcohol at all. Still that same cold, unbothered face that made people annoyed just by looking at it.
[Wang Yu’s favorability toward you +5]
Before they even reached the room, Wang Yu’s favorability had already gone up by twenty-two!
Still a long way to go.
At the door, An Han swiped the card and entered first. He glanced at the bathroom near the entrance, thinking that once the favorability reached seventy, he could go in there and take off the chest wrap.
Wang Yu stretched and walked in, but suddenly noticed it was a single room. His movements stopped.
“So I’m sleeping on the floor?”
The floor was carpeted and soft, though dirty. And since it was summer, catching a cold wasn’t an issue.
“You sleep on the bed…” An Han walked to the bed and plugged in his phone. “You drank, so sleeping on the floor isn’t good.”
“Okay.”
Can’t you hesitate a little?!
At least show some gratitude or something?
What’s with that frozen block-of-ice face! Who are you trying to annoy?!
[Wang Yu’s favorability toward you +8]
That made it thirty points in total!
The closer he got to the imagined seventy, the more nervous An Han became. His earlier relaxed expression gradually stiffened.
He was about to say something when suddenly he heard the sound of shoes dropping on the floor.
He looked up and saw Wang Yu already falling onto the bed in a starfish position, bouncing twice from the soft mattress.
Wang Yu’s eyes shut. His breathing grew heavy, as if he were about to fall asleep any second.
Wait! If you fall asleep, how am I supposed to raise your favorability?!
An Han’s eyes sharpened. Without hesitation, he grabbed Wang Yu’s arm and tried to pull him up.
“Go wash your face! Take a shower!”
“Why so picky when we’re in a hotel…”
“Hurry up! I paid for this room!”
Wang Yu finally opened his eyes, frowning slightly as he looked up at An Han’s face.
For some reason, he felt that An Han looked unusually attractive today. A face that used to annoy him now looked strangely appealing.
In his mind, he kept unconsciously treating An Han like a girl, every little movement seemed full of feminine charm. Even his neutral voice suddenly sounded incredibly seductive.
“…Alright. I’ll wash up.”
