I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 242 The important thing is the people who go with you.

The next afternoon, Tang Zhi arrived at Zhou Heng's house, dragging a black suitcase.

"Shh-"

She blew a bubble from the chewing gum she was holding and then spat it into the trash can by the door.

Just as I was about to open my door, the door next door opened first.

Yu Lingxue, as if she had been waiting for a long time, appeared wearing a white dress, a sun hat, and dragging a suitcase.

After making eye contact with Tang Zhi, she slowly raised her hand and greeted her softly, "Hi..."

Tang Zhi walked over and placed a piece of chewing gum in Yu Lingxue's hand.

Yu Lingxue was used to it; it was just like how Tang Zhi greeted her.

Tang Zhi looked up at her and said, "You're staying with me tonight, is that alright?"

"Um...is this...okay?"

Yu Lingxue paused for a moment, then asked in surprise,

It wasn't that she didn't want to live with Tang Zhi, it's just that she had never lived with a friend before...

“What’s wrong with that? It’ll save you some money. You can live with me, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran will live together, Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao will live together, and Zhou Heng’s sister will definitely live alone. You can live alone if you want.”

"Uh...then I...I'll live with you."

Yu Lingxue had no reason to refuse; if she said she wanted to live alone at this time, it would seem as if she looked down on Tang Zhi.

It's just sleeping in a double room, it shouldn't be a problem...

"Okay, let's set off after Zhou Heng and the others come out. The high-speed train takes another hour."

Tang Zhi glanced at the time and nodded.

Yu Lingxue gently scratched her cheek with her finger and said softly, "Why don't we... buy plane tickets? It's faster by plane, right? We can get there sooner and play sooner."

"It's only a two-hour journey by high-speed rail, why would we take a plane? We're not in a hurry, flying isn't suitable..."

"Oh... I thought it would have been better to arrive earlier."

Yu Lingxue had never ridden a high-speed train before... To be honest, she didn't quite understand why she would take it, since it wouldn't be much cheaper...

They shouldn't be short of money, so why be so frugal?

Tang Zhi shrugged and answered indifferently:

"That's how travel is. We already live a fast-paced life, so when we go to relax, we should slow down. If you want to get there quickly, then you're ignoring the joy of the journey."

"pleasure?"

"Click——"

Just then, the door to Zhou Heng's house opened, and Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran came out.

Moreover, they had all heard the conversation between the two.

Zhou Heng glanced at Yu Lingxue and slowly spoke:

"Once you get there, you'll find there's nothing fun about it. It's just going from a place you're tired of to a place someone else is tired of. The things you do are pretty much the same, and you definitely won't be interested in any of them..."

"I..."

Yu Lingxue was momentarily speechless, and before she could say anything, Tang Zhi continued:

"After the trip, you won't remember the attractions or activities, but you might remember... traveling with many friends on the high-speed rail, chatting carefree, wandering in unfamiliar cities, and enjoying that freedom that you can remember for a long time."

"..."

Yu Lingxue lowered her head and said nothing more. She had never had this experience before, so she couldn't understand their feelings.

Yin Mengran stepped forward, gently placed her hand on Yu Lingxue's shoulder, and whispered:

"We don't care where we go. We always say 'anywhere is fine' because it's not important where we go. What's important is the people we go with."

"Hmm...yes..."

Yu Lingxue nodded, understanding their meaning. This made her slightly look forward to the trip, perhaps bringing her unexpected gains.

"Alright, we should get going. It seems the others have already arrived at the station."

The group set off together from Zhou Heng's house towards the train station.

Zhou Heng had already tried his best to carry as many suitcases as possible, up to four, plus a backpack.

Yin Mengran felt sorry for him and wanted to help him carry it, but Zhou Heng refused.

Upon arriving at the station, the group saw Liao Haomiao and the others waiting for them in front of the station.

Shen Linyi stood quite far away, as if she didn't recognize Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao...

Shen Linyi only dared to come closer after Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran arrived.

Yin Mengran also knew that if she didn't take care of Shen Linyi, Shen Linyi would be all alone and would be extremely lonely.

So Yin Mengran took good care of her, walking with her and chatting with her.

"Let's take pictures here later, and also this..."

"This place seems to be quite popular, shall we try it?"

Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao looked at the popular photo spots and trendy restaurants on their phones, preparing to try them out.

The group boarded the high-speed train together. For Yu Lingxue, it was her first time doing so. She followed behind Tang Zhi, not daring to speak, simply doing whatever Tang Zhi did...

The high-speed train departed around 5 PM.

Yu Lingxue was still enjoying her first high-speed train ride when, after about two hours, she arrived at her destination.

It was past 7 p.m., and it was already dark. There were seven of us in total. After leaving the high-speed rail station, we found a hotel nearby to drop off our luggage.

Four rooms were booked in total. As originally agreed, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran shared a room.

Tang Zhi and Yu Lingxue shared a room, Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao shared a room, and Shen Linyi had her own room.

After all, making Shen Linyi live with other people would be like taking her life; she would rather stand on the street all night without sleeping.

Which bed do you sleep in?

Tang Zhi and Yu Lingxue entered the room, and she looked at Yu Lingxue, asking for her thoughts.

Yu Lingxue didn't care, so she just pointed to one and said, "This one will do."

She was quite nervous, starting to worry about whether she had any bad sleeping habits, like snoring or teeth grinding...

She had always lived alone, and suddenly living with other people was something she really wasn't used to.

However, she wasn't the only one who wasn't used to it...

At this moment, in Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao's room, the two seemed frozen in place...

Tang Zhi and Yu Lingxue are in a twin room...

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were in a double room...

Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao are indeed a couple... but... it's their first time staying in a hotel... and they're asking for a double room... isn't that a bit inappropriate?

They sat on opposite sides of the large bed, back to back, silent and in an extremely awkward situation...

There were no twin rooms available, but since they were a couple, they booked a double room instead...

How am I going to sleep tonight...?
