Chapter 81 Fairness
As the minibus drove along the highway to the outskirts of the city, the cityscape outside the window gradually gave way to farmland and mountains. Inside the car, the students chatted excitedly, discussing their evening adventures.
Chu Yan and Chu Yu sat side by side in the back. Chu Yan leaned against the car window, looking down at his phone. On the screen was a chat interface with Gu Ye. Gu Ye seemed to have just finished a meeting and was sending him messages whenever he had a chance.
During this time, Gu Ye seemed to have suddenly opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and his skill in effectively attracting and retaining Chu Yan's attention had grown by leaps and bounds. He acted coquettishly and cutely with ease, exuding a youthful energy and a sense of dependence. And Chu Yan, indeed, was quite taken with his tricks.
At this moment, Gu Ye was trying to book Chu Yan's winter vacation time in advance.
Gu Ye: [Picture]
Gu Ye: [Look at this natural ski resort, I heard it's amazing!]
Gu Ye: [You spent last year's winter break with Gu Ye (feeling wronged.jpg)]
Gu Ye: [This year you must be fair and keep me company. (Super fierce but not threatening.jpg)]
Chu Yan looked at the words and emoticons on the screen that were clearly meant to be coquettish, and a gentle smile that he didn't even notice curled up at the corner of his mouth. He tapped his fingers on the screen to reply.
Chu Yan: [Crying? Is Yege relying on crying to solve problems now?]
Chu Yan: [(Screenshot to save threat evidence.jpg)]
Gu Ye: [Delete it!]
Gu Ye: [I don't care, just tell me whether you'll stay or not~ Just for a week! Please, Brother Yan~ (puppy rolling.gif)]
The smile in Chu Yan's eyes deepened.
Chu Yu, who was originally sitting upright next to him, unconsciously looked towards Chu Yan. Seeing him smiling at his phone, his heart felt like it was being gently scratched by a kitten's claws, curious but a little uncomfortable.
He finally couldn't help himself and tilted his head slightly, his eyes "inadvertently" sweeping across Chu Yan's phone screen. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he still accurately captured the key words "winter vacation", "accompanying Gu Xu", and "treating everyone equally".
Chu Yu's brows wrinkled slightly in an instant.
Winter vacation? He hadn't even thought about winter vacation! Gu Ye was really quick, actually making reservations so far in advance?
A sense of urgency, "If you fall behind, you'll be punished," suddenly washed over him. Chu Yu felt a little annoyed that he had been so busy with work all day that he had neglected to plan these "important dates."
He coughed lightly beside him, trying to attract Chu Yan's attention.
Chu Yan turned around and looked at him, his eyes full of inquiry: "Huh? Brother Yu, what's wrong?"
Chu Yu was silent for a moment, a rare, unspoken emotion flashing across his handsome face. He glanced at the classmates chatting happily around him, making sure no one was paying attention. Then he leaned slightly closer to Chu Yan, silently mouthing:
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. Looking at Chu Yu's serious expression while saying such words, he tried hard to suppress his laughter, blinked at Chu Yu, and then made an "OK, got it" gesture.
Chu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief as if he had accomplished some important task, and sat up straight again. However, the slight blush at the base of his ears revealed that he was not at peace just now.
Chu Yan turned back and saw Gu Ye still scrolling through his phone screen. He began typing quickly to make arrangements.
Chu Yan: [Okay, I'll go skiing with you during the first week of winter vacation.]
Gu Ye: [!!! Yeah! Brother Yan is the best! (crazy flowers.jpg)]
Chu Yan: [The second week is Chinese New Year, so I have to go home.] Chu Yan thought this week would be a good time for him to spend time with Chu Yu.
Chu Yan: [We’ll see what happens next.] Chu Yan was thinking that he had to set aside time to celebrate their anniversary with Gu Xu. Even though Gu Xu might have been so busy that he forgot, he had to remember it.
[6] The system silently complained in Chu Yan's mind, "Host, your time management is so bad that even a master of keeping things simple would have to offer you a cigarette. You're really not a good person."
Chu Yan chuckled in his mind: [A man who keeps company with bad people becomes bad.]
The system thought about its usual behavior of watching the fun and not minding the trouble, and it seemed that it was not a good system either. It fell silent: [...Oh, then it's okay.]
After a "fair" distribution, Chu Yan put away his phone.
The drive wasn't far; after about an hour, the minibus arrived at a farmhouse near our destination. It was already dark, and the mountain night was exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
The farmhouse looked clean and tidy, and the owner had already received the reservation and was waiting there. As the company president, Lu Chen was responsible for arranging the accommodations. A total of five rooms were booked: three king-size rooms and two standard rooms. The two couples were assigned king-size rooms, while the remaining two girls and the two boys, excluding Chu Yan, stayed in standard rooms. Chu Yan was the only one staying alone, so he booked a king-size room.
But now, Lu Chen looked at the room list, then at Chu Yan, who looked natural, and Chu Yu, who had an elite aura of "keep away from strangers." He hesitated for a moment, and had to bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Chu, I'm sorry, we're a bit short of rooms. There's only one king-size bed room left... take a look..."
Before Chu Yan could speak, Chu Yu's expression went blank for a moment. King-size bed room? With Chu Yan?
Chu Yan didn't mind. It was normal to make do when you're out having fun. He nodded and said, "Okay, a king-size bed room is fine. No problem." He turned to look at Chu Yu and said, "Brother Yu, what about you? Can you accept it? If not, I'll go squeeze in with the other boys."
"No." Chu Yu blurted out, his tone even a little hurried. As soon as he said it, he realized that he had overreacted. He immediately pursed his lips and returned to his usual cold demeanor. Only the slightly red ears betrayed him. "No need to bother, this one will do."
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed the room card to Chu Yan: "Then everyone go back to the room to put your luggage and rest for a while. We will meet at the restaurant for dinner in half an hour. After dinner, we will go explore the deserted village at night."
Chu Yan took the room card, said thank you with a smile, then carried his bag and went to their room with Chu Yu.
The room was small, plainly furnished but clean. The most striking feature was the large double bed in the center.
Chu Yu stood at the door, looking at the big bed. He seemed a little frozen, his eyes were vague, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chu Yan walked in calmly, put his backpack on the chair, turned around and saw Chu Yu still standing at the door, he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Yu, why are you standing there? Come in."
Chu Yu glanced at Chu Yan with a complicated expression before stepping in, his movements a little stiff. He placed his travel bag on another chair and stood straight.
"Really? No need to change?" Chu Yan teased him deliberately, "I see that Lu Chen and his friends' standard room seems to have two small beds..."
"No need." Chu Yu interrupted him with a firm tone, but still didn't dare to glance at the bed.
"Oh~" Chu Yan drew out the tone, with a cunning light in his eyes. He turned around and pretended to pack his luggage, but his shoulders shrugged slightly.
Chu Yu looked at him, his face clearly chuckling, and her ears turned even redder. He took out his phone expressionlessly, walked to the corner of the room, and began typing rapidly with his back to Chu Yan.
Obviously, it was his "Military Advisor" Qin Xiao who went outside the field to seek help.
Chu Yan caught a glimpse of his fearful look and laughed even more.
