Chapter 56 - Fifty-One: Awkwardness at the KTV



Seeing Shen Yu’s insistence, Su Qing said that our dorm will cover the cost of singing then.

"I have no objections," Lu Lin really just came to make up the numbers, but it seemed like she wasn’t short on money either.

With the situation now three to one, even if Zheng Yanyan had any objections, it was impossible for her to voice them anymore.

After the girls reached an agreement, they joined the boys to head for the KTV. Chang Hao was already prepared to pay, while Shen Yu suggested that the girls’ dorm would go Dutch to treat the boys to singing, but the treat would be on behalf of Zheng Yanyan, after all, she had the best relationship with Chang Hao.

So, when everyone arrived at the KTV and was ready to book a room, Zheng Yanyan reluctantly said, "This time, for singing, our dorm will treat you, okay?"

Chang Hao was taken aback and looked at Zheng Yanyan differently. She was not only pretty but also kind-hearted, "No need, singing doesn’t cost much, I’ll pay for it."

"Stop talking nonsense, if we said we’d treat, then it’s on us!" Zheng Yanyan was very upset; she never had to pay for herself when going out to eat and sing.

This time, she genuinely was forced by her roommates to pay and had no choice.

Then they arrived at the counter to book the room.

The cashier hesitated upon seeing a group of about eight people and wasn’t sure who it was for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Are you Mr. Zhou?"

"?" Chang Hao and Zheng Yanyan, who were at the front, looked at each other and turned to Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen nodded, "Hmm, I’ve made a reservation over the phone."

"Oh, okay." Upon confirming they were the guests who had reserved, a friendly smile appeared on the employee’s face, and she stepped out from behind the counter, ready to lead Zhou Yuwen and his group to their room.

If it were ordinary customers, the cashier definitely wouldn’t ask if they had a reservation right off the bat. The reason was, half an hour ago, Zhou Yuwen had reserved one of their luxury suites. There were only a few luxury suites in total, with a minimum spend of fifteen hundred yuan, which included fruit platters, beer, and two bottles of champagne.

The KTVs in the university town mainly offered budget rooms, but these kinds of rooms were also available for reservation, commonly booked at times like after military training or during the graduation season. However, during the off-season like now, anyone who books such a room would definitely receive special attention.

The front desk clerk, wearing a navy-blue form-fitting skirt suit with flesh-colored stockings and high heels, led the way.

The decoration of the KTV was the same old tacky, it really was tacky, but it indeed looked luxurious, and they walked around several places before finding their private room.

When they discovered that Zhou Yuwen had booked an approximately hundred square meter luxury suite, everyone was momentarily stunned.

"Holy crap! Brother Zhou, you really went all out with the luxury!" Chang Hao was truly surprised; he initially thought about booking a medium room to sing in. But when he saw this,

It was pure luxury.

Zhou Yuwen said, "You treated us to Toronto, if we didn’t treat you to something nice, how could we live up to that seafood feast?"

"Hehe! Brother Zhou, nothing else to say, you really hit the spot!" Chang Hao couldn’t help but raise his thumbs up.

Chang Hao, a rascal, could spend eight or nine hundred yuan to treat everyone to a meal, Zhou Yuwen, after all, was already thirty years old; there was no need to pretend to be frugal. Having fun was the most important part of going out.

When they talked about going singing, Zhou Yuwen had already made the room reservation over the phone.

This room was considered luxurious for them, college freshmen, but it was indeed the best value-for-money in the university town.

Zheng Yanyan was also very surprised; after all, she didn’t have to spend money, and they also had such a luxurious room. Without a second thought, she settled into the leather sofa and tested it out, almost unable to believe she was in a luxury suite; she had never been to one even in high school. She immediately grabbed her phone to take pictures and share on social media.

She took two photos, one including Zhou Yuwen.

At this time, Zhou Yuwen was chatting with the waiter. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The waiter informed Zhou Yuwen about precautions regarding the suite and also asked if he had any other requests.

Zhou Yuwen said there was nothing else, then after a short chat, the waiter bowed with a smile and wished Zhou Yuwen a fun time.

Once the waiter left, everyone in the room relaxed, those who wanted to share on social media began posting.

Those who wanted to pick songs started doing so.

Chang Hao tried out the microphone and commented that it really was a luxury suite; it felt like the speakers were even better than the ones at the place they sang at before.

"Brother Hao, you didn’t get enough drink earlier, let’s continue now," Li Qiang grinned as he began opening beers.

"Go for it, tonight we don’t return until we’re drunk!"

Zhou Yuwen sat down on the sofa, and Shen Yu asked Zhou Yuwen how much such a room cost.

Zhou Yuwen said, "It’s not expensive, about the same as that meal we just ate."

The lighting in the private room was a bit dim, and Shen Yu said, "You really went to the trouble today, having to treat us to both dinner and singing."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuwen couldn’t help but smile faintly and said, "Isn’t that how it should be? When going out to eat and sing, it’s only right for the gentlemen to pick up the tab."

Shen Yu couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

Whether the words were true or not, there were times when such things ought to be said. After all, the bill was already paid, so why not show off a bit?

Moreover, Zhou Yuwen’s remark had truly maximized Zheng Yanyan’s good impression of him.

She had been busy posting on her Moments, assembling nine pictures, not just from the dinner in Toronto but also of the luxury karaoke room, including a specific photo of her long legs propped up on the coffee table.

After uploading the photos to her Moments, she heard Zhou Yuwen’s previous statement and wholeheartedly agreed, rushing over to say, "Hey, Zhou Yuwen, look how handsome I made you in these photos. One of my friends even said she wants to introduce you to her as a boyfriend."

Zheng Yanyan also showed Zhou Yuwen her Moments.

Zhou Yuwen glanced at it and saw the dim lighting in the photo meant his face wasn’t clear, which he didn’t mind.

"Let’s choose songs. Don’t you all want to sing?"

Chang Hao had already started to pick songs; he was a classmate with a story, picking classics by singers like Wu Bai and Luo Dayou.

The first song was definitely Wu Bai’s "Suddenly I Miss Myself."

As soon as the guitar started, the atmosphere was set.

Chang Hao took the microphone and was quickly immersed in the song.

Zhou Yuwen went over to help choose songs and asked Shen Yu which song she’d like to sing, offering to pick it for her.

"Hmm, pick ’Red Beans’ for me," Shen Yu said with a smile after thinking for a moment.

"A song by Wang Fei? I like it too," Zhou Yuwen said.

"Really?" Shen Yu asked smilingly.

"Of course, ’I’ve yet to truly feel♪, the climate when snowflakes bloom♪’," Zhou Yuwen sang two lines a cappella with great taste, which made Shen Yu’s eyes light up, and the topics of their conversation grew.

Zhou Yuwen helped Shen Yu choose songs at the song selecting console.

Seeing Su Qing sitting alone on the sofa without any intention of picking songs, Shen Yu couldn’t help but be curious and went over to ask Su Qing what she’d like to sing.

No sooner had Shen Yu left, Zheng Yanyan crowded over.

Zhou Yuwen was searching for songs at the song selecting console, oblivious to the activities behind him amidst the noise of the KTV. Meanwhile, Zheng Yanyan had taken off her sun protection clothes and was wearing a white tank top, standing behind Zhou Yuwen looking at the song-selecting screen.

Zheng Yanyan was a bit nearsighted with a hundred degree correction and usually didn’t wear glasses, but at that moment she was having trouble seeing clearly, so she unconsciously leaned forward a couple of times.

Zhou Yuwen, affected by the KTV environment, didn’t notice the shift behind him at all.

After he finished picking songs, he turned around to ask if Shen Yu wanted to select any additional songs.

As he turned, Zheng Yanyan was half-standing behind him, looking on.

Zhou Yuwen’s arm accidentally brushed against Zheng Yanyan.

Damn.

That was a bit awkward.

Zhou Yuwen didn’t know how to face Zheng Yanyan.

Yet, to his surprise, Zheng Yanyan just softly breathed into his ear, "Is it soft?"
