The system confirms the meeting location simply by following the principle of spatial center coordinates, without querying the specific location details.
Xiang Yu's face didn't turn red this time, but he was so anxious to explain that he stumbled over his words several times and couldn't get a complete sentence out. But at least the driver managed to piece together the general meaning.
"Oh, oh." The driver suddenly realized, "You're not some kind of special professional from that movie, you're just here for a simple get-together?"
"Hmm..." Xiang Yu finished explaining with great effort, and now he didn't want to say anything more.
"Pshaw, you should have said so earlier." The driver seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Your friend is really reckless, picking this place of all places. Of course, this place is okay for a simple gathering, but at this time of day... um, you know what I mean?"
Xiang Yu thought to himself, "I really don't know."
When the car arrived at its destination, the driver stopped interfering and became embarrassed when he initially mistook the young man for someone in a sex industry.
"Goodbye." Before Xiang Yu could reply, the driver stepped on the gas and drove off. Xiang Yu inhaled a mouthful of exhaust fumes and coughed.
"Cough cough." Xiang Yu coughed a few times and looked at the ornately decorated facade behind him. Colorful lights surrounded the two large characters "Shengdu". There were one or two drunk men with their arms around a young man wearing tight pants who looked not very old, walking down the steps.
Seeing that these people were all there voluntarily, Xiang Yu didn't bother with anything and went straight to the front desk. Under the scrutinizing gaze of the front desk staff, he gritted his teeth and booked a small private room.
He didn't order any services or drinks, and just sat down there by himself.
Seeing his generous spending, the receptionist assumed he was some young master from a wealthy family who wanted to have some fun, so she didn't say much, not even asking if he was underage.
Xiang Yu asked the system in his mind, "Does reporting this kind of place earn me a morality score?"
Unfortunately, the system stopped ringing right after asking him for the specific private room number, so it should no longer be on standby with him at this point.
The system was not there, and he couldn't contact the other constellations. It was his first time in a place like this, and there was nothing on the table except for some dice, playing cards, and other entertainment tools.
Xiang Yu sat on the sofa, and when he moved his hand to the seam of the sofa, something scratched him.
Without thinking, he pulled the thing out, and upon seeing it, his face turned red. He threw it onto the table like a bomb.
As powerful as the War God White Tiger Xiangyu is, he is still a student. He knows about this thing, but this is the first time he has ever encountered it.
The circular shape in the rigid plastic packaging was too obvious. It was new and unopened, and it was found in the sofa cushions. It seemed easy to imagine that there might have been a "big battle" here not long ago. For a moment, Xiang Yu felt disgusted with the air here and did not dare to continue sitting comfortably on the sofa. He got up, patted his clothes, and stood in front of the sofa.
I checked my phone and it was already past 11 o'clock. The soundproofing here isn't great; I could still hear music and cheers from other private rooms.
"Sister Qin, my dear sister, I haven't had any work these past few days, have I? Yeah, some friends invited me to get together."
"Huh? No, I guess I'm not someone in the industry. I'm wearing glasses, a scarf, a hat, and a mask. Don't worry, I'm completely covered up. Nobody can tell who I am. You still don't trust me? You..."
The sounds outside the door faded into the distance, and just as Xiang Yu was about to call the system again, the sounds returned.
"Okay, my dear sister, you still don't trust me? I already called you, my friend is waiting for me inside. I have to go now, I'll call you back after the party. Yes, yes, I'll definitely be back by noon tomorrow, don't worry."
"Entertainment activities? What are you talking about? I'm not looking for those." The voice suddenly became clear. The person, who was on the phone, pushed open the door, saw Xiang Yu standing alone in front of the sofa, paused for a moment, then went back out, opened the memo to confirm the room number, and only went in and closed the door after confirming that there were no problems. He ended the call at the same time, "That's all for now, the person has arrived."
Xiang Yu looked at the person in front of him who was wrapped up like a criminal suspect, and he was not sure if the other party was one of the other three stars or if he had gone to the wrong place. He called for the system in his mind, but it was not there.
The two looked at each other through their glasses, and the air suddenly became quiet.
The other person broke the ice first, saying directly, "Hello, little friend, you look familiar."
Your voice sounds familiar, Xiang Yu thought to himself.
"Let's get acquainted, Suzaku."
The other party readily revealed their identity, but did not rush to remove their disguise, instead observing Xiang Yu's reaction.
"White Tiger." Xiang Yu nodded. "Hello."
"I didn't expect Baihu to be a child." The man smiled and took off his glasses and mask.
Xiang Yu finally understood why the other person's voice sounded familiar.
"Zhu Yang, you should recognize me. Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" Zhu Yang held a mask, scarf, and glasses in one hand, with the familiar smile of a public figure on his face, and handed them to the other person with the other hand.
"Yes." Xiang Yu shook hands with him and said, "Xiang Yu, we've met at Huanqing Amusement Park before."
[Author's Note: Gu Chen: What should I do if my boyfriend is bisexual? Urgent, waiting online.]
System: One problem after another! Flights are delayed here, house access is restricted and I'll be late, and someone has to wait until their wife falls asleep before leaving. I'm so frustrated!
Zhu Yang: As a public figure, one must always be prepared to disguise and protect oneself.
The Vermilion Bird is Zhu Yang; actually, that was pretty easy to guess, right?
Chapter 53 I will never come to a place like this again.
Chapter 53 A Corner: I will never come to a place like this again.
In a sense, we are all "one of us". Zhu Yang was in a hurry to catch his flight and only now has he been able to relax and catch his breath.
He didn't tell his assistant or agent that he had secretly come to X City. From the moment he got off the plane and took a taxi to Shengdu, his agent, Sister Qin, kept calling him non-stop.
"I'm exhausted, I need to rest for a bit." The air conditioning in the private room was blowing hot air, and Zhu Yang, who was already quite hot, simply took off his down jacket as well. He then threw his glasses, mask, scarf, and down jacket together on the sofa and slumped down on it.
The collar of her white T-shirt tilted unruly to one side, revealing her beautiful collarbone on her left shoulder. Her long legs had nowhere to go but to bend upwards, with her shoes barely touching the edge of the table. What would appear as a decadent posture to an ordinary person gave Zhu Yang a kind of languid beauty.
"Hmm?" Zhu Yang noticed that Xiang Yu was still standing to the side and assumed that the other party was embarrassed. He moved aside to make room for her and patted her to indicate, "Sit down, don't stand."
"..." Xiang Yu hesitated, unsure how to start the conversation, her gaze constantly glancing at the contraceptive T-shirt on the table.
Zhu Yang followed his gaze to the table. He was a little nearsighted, and with the dim lighting in the room, he couldn't really tell what it was from this angle and distance. So he pulled his leg back, leaned over, and picked up the object.
"Oh?" Zhu Yang flipped the square plastic bag back and forth between his fingers. He glanced at the reserved Xiang Yu beside him, then tossed the thing into the trash can with a 'whoosh' and threw it straight into the bin.
"Sit down, usually these upscale places are quite clean." Zhu Yang seemed to know what the other person was concerned about, and said with a smile, "If you don't like it, I'll put your clothes here for you to use as a cushion?" He then actually made a gesture as if to spread out his down jacket.
"No need." Xiang Yu sat down next to Zhu Yang, placing her hands on her knees and sitting up straight, looking very cautious, a stark contrast to the slumped Zhu Yang beside her.
After revealing their identities, the atmosphere between the two became noticeably awkward.
The main source is still Xiangyu. Although everyone is "one of us", in a sense, apart from the existence of the system, they are still strangers to each other.
Seeing this, Zhu Yang simply put down her phone, leaned back in the corner, casually rested her hand on the back of the sofa, and started chatting with the other person in a casual manner, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Why haven't the other two constellations arrived yet? I can't contact the system here, can you?"
"I don't know." Xiang Yu shook his head. "I can't get in touch with them either."
What are the two characters in your name? What should I call you? Can I call you Little Tiger?
"Xiang as in facing the sun, and Yu as in not residing in a corner." Xiang Yu paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "Just call me Xiao Yu."
"So you'll call me Brother Yang?" Zhu Yang smiled. "That's what my assistants all call me."
"good."
The two chatted in the private room about topics such as the system, the entertainment industry, and studies, with Zhu Yang asking questions and Xiang Yu answering.
Zhu Yang was also surprised. He didn't expect that there would be a high school student among the Four Constellations. At Xiang Yu's age, he had already been spotted by a talent scout while working and entered the entertainment industry.
"Coming to a place like this was completely by accident." Zhu Yangzhen spoke like an older brother, his tone switching instantly to a serious tone: "Minors shouldn't come to places like this. They should focus on their studies."
"I'm an adult now."
"Even as an adult, you're still a high school student." Zhu Yang patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder and gossiped, "Tell me, did you date anyone in school?"
"We talked about it." Xiang Yu didn't shy away from the topic.
"That's great, a campus romance." Zhu Yang leaned closer and asked him, "Do you have any photos? What do you look like? Are you pretty?"
"have."
At the end of the day at Huanqing Amusement Park, the group took a group photo with the Ferris wheel in the background. Xiang Yu took out his phone, unlocked it, and planned to show it to Zhu Yang.
Seeing how honest he was, Zhu Yang laughed and reached out to ruffle his hair: "Hahaha, you're such a good boy, Xiao Yu."
Before I could even touch it, the door was suddenly kicked open with a bang.
In a fit of stress, he jumped up and stared intently at the other person.
The other person glanced at his side, then looked at him, his eyes blazing with anger.
The visitor is not friendly.
The thought of Xiang Yu immediately came to mind, and as expected, the other party rushed up and punched him in the face.
"Damn it!" Zhu Yang was stunned and reacted a beat too slow. Seeing that the other party's fist was about to land on Xiang Yu's face, he couldn't stop it and spoke up.
"Shen Bin! You fucking have—"
Everyone thought Xiang Yu was going to take the punch, but to their surprise, the next second Shen Bin was pinned to the sofa and unable to move.
"Are you sick?" Xiang Yu had never seen someone attack so readily, and he used all his strength without holding back.
Zhu Yang came to his senses and saw Xiang Yu subduing the other party with great professionalism. He subconsciously didn't know who to help. He looked at Shen Bin, who was still staring at him with undisguised grief in his eyes.
Zhu Yang's heart skipped a beat. He gritted his teeth and said to Xiang Yu, "Xiao Yu, this is my... friend. Let him go."
"Hmm." Since the two knew each other, Xiang Yu didn't hold onto Shen Bin so tightly. He let go of Shen Bin's hand and took a step back, giving Shen Bin room to get up.
"Yangyang, I—"
"Shen Bin!"
Zhu Yang interrupted him, "What are you doing here? At a party?"
Zhu Yang's mind worked quickly as he probed whether the other party knew about the Star Gathering.
Shen Bin didn't think so. Panicked, he quickly explained, "You know me, Yangyang, I don't come to places like this."
The other party was still persistent and wouldn't listen. Zhu Yang took a deep breath to calm his restless heart, reminding himself not to be soft-hearted. It was all over. He glanced at Xiang Yu, who was still wary of Shen Bin's every move.
Zhu Yang didn't want to bring their past entanglements into the open for others to know, so he turned and walked towards the door.
"Shen Bin, come here, let's talk this out."
Seeing him leave like that, Shen Bin quickly grabbed the down jacket and scarf from the sofa and ran over to put them on the other person.
'Yangyang, it's cold outside, put your clothes on...'
After the door closed, that was all Xiangyu could hear.
What just happened was like a farce, and the two of them seem to be more than just ordinary friends.
Forget it, why should I meddle in other people's business?
They were all constellations, and Xiang Yu felt that even if the other constellations didn't have his formidable combat power, with the system's protection, they certainly wouldn't be any less powerful.
System: So tired.
The system was finally launched on Xiangyu's side.
