Looking at Chen Li, who was already asleep on the bed, Yu Wei was speechless.
The courage he had finally mustered up moments ago instantly vanished.
Yu Wei returned to the bathroom, put on his clothes honestly, then went to the big bed and covered Chen Li with a blanket. Afterwards, he sat on the sofa and played with his phone.
About ten minutes later, the "Four Young Masters of Modu" group started asking questions.
Modu Four Young Masters Group:
Qin Dou: @Yu Wei, how's it going? I just heard from Young Master Wang that he gave you a killer move.
Jiang Xin: As expected, I've seen the chat logs. This kind of thing still requires my Young Master Wang.
Qin Dou: That's right, "Human Bulldozer" isn't a nickname for nothing.
Guomin Xiao Wang: Get lost, you punk, don't slander me.
Yu Wei watched the three of them chat, hesitant to reply.
Replying now would be quite embarrassing. After all their brainstorming, he was sitting alone on the sofa.
Qin Dou: Is this guy Yu Wei getting busy? He hasn't even replied to messages at this hour.
Guomin Xiao Wang: He must be, otherwise he would have replied by now.
Jiang Xin: Currently putting in hard work.
Guomin Xiao Wang: Haha......
Seeing the teasing in the group, Yu Wei finally couldn't take it anymore. He'd be found out sooner or later when they went out, so it was better to confess honestly now.
Yu Wei: No.
Guomin Xiao Wang: ???
Qin Dou: What's going on?
Jiang Xin: You're not still in the bathroom, too scared to come out, are you?
Yu Wei: Not exactly. I followed the method Young Master Wang taught me. When I came out of the bathroom wearing my bathrobe, Chen Li was already asleep on the bed.
Guomin Xiao Wang: And then you acted like a good man, took off her slippers, covered her with a blanket, and then sheepishly sat aside playing on your phone?
Yu Wei: Yeah, are you spying on me?
Qin Dou: Useless, utterly useless.
Jiang Xin: Indeed very useless. You're a man, and you're sharing a room with her. There's a high chance she's faking sleep, too shy to face you. Faking sleep is the best option.
Jiang Xin: At this moment, you shouldn't play the good guy. You should have gone up and hugged her to sleep. If she didn't resist, it would be tacit approval of your actions, and then you could have done whatever you wanted.
Guomin Xiao Wang: Jiang Xin is right, you're just too young.
Yu Wei: ......
Yu Wei: Is it still too late to go now?
Guomin Xiao Wang: Why would you still go now? You've already acted like a good man, so just see it through. Going now would clearly show you're seeking permission.
Qin Dou: I never expected you to be this useless.
Yu Wei: Damn it....
Guomin Xiao Wang: Forget it, haste makes waste. There's plenty of time tonight, take it slow.
Yu Wei: Okay.
After chatting and boasting in the group for a while, they went to rest. About two hours later, everyone started heading out.
It was already 5:30 PM. Next, they would go out for dinner, explore Yangzhou's night market in the evening, and begin their sightseeing on the second day.
This was basically the itinerary: resting at the hotel in the afternoon, exploring around after dinner, and scheduling all the sightseeing for the next day.
This way, they wouldn't get tired.
They all gathered in the first-floor lobby, looking like a small tour group.
"Young Master Wang, where are we going to eat?" Qin Wen ran over and asked.
"Do you want to eat authentic Yangzhou cuisine, or do you want to have delicacies from land and sea?" Guomin Xiao Wang asked with a smile.
"What is 'delicacies from land and sea'? Can you eat that?" Qin Dou feigned surprise.
If you come to Yangzhou and don't eat some authentic Yangzhou cuisine, wouldn't that be a wasted trip?
"Exactly, of course, we should go for Yangzhou cuisine," Qin Wen agreed with her elder brother.
"Then let's go to Yangzhou's food street, Dongguan," Guomin Xiao Wang said.
"Alright, then I'll go tell Lin'er. We can eat our fill at the snack street," Qin Wen said, running towards Xia Lin.
When in Yangzhou, the food street was definitely a must-visit.
Yangzhou's Dongguan Street, rumor has it that the city gate is from the Song Dynasty, with over a thousand years of history.
Moreover, there's the Grand Canal outside the city, which offers beautiful night views.
Yangzhou people like to drink tea. There's a saying: "Skin soaked in water during the day, water soaked in skin at night."
This refers to Yangzhou people liking to drink tea during the day and take baths at night.
"Yangzhou is indeed fun. I've heard it's an ancient city for a long time, and it really lives up to its reputation," Xia Lin said, pointing at the entrance of Dongguan Street.
"Yes, in ancient times, this was the city gate. Due to its long history, the city gate is now protected, and you have to cross a bridge to get inside," Guomin Xiao Wang said, having visited Yangzhou several times, making him quite familiar with it.
He had brought influencers here to visit before, so he knew the situation quite well.
Besides, Yangzhou has always been a popular spot for influencers to check in, so it's no wonder Guomin Xiao Wang, a traffic hotspot, would be here.
"This is my first time here too. I knew about Yangzhou when I was studying history, but it's a shame I never visited even though Modu is so close," Qin Wen said, standing beside Xia Lin and looking at the city gate.
"Let's go, let's go inside and eat!" Xia Lin smiled and led the way into the city.
Yangzhou's architectural style is predominantly ancient, with many old houses preserved from the past, though they have been renovated and reinforced.
Seeing the countless snack stalls, her foodie nature kicked in.
