Chapter 1102 - 1102 Shanshan Side Story (29)

Chapter 1102: Shanshan Side Story (29) Chapter 1102: Shanshan Side Story (29) The bustling streets, Shanshan moved alone through the surging crowd.

Gazing at the blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners on the road, the handsome visage of youth unexpectedly rose in her mind, what could Mu Chen be doing at this time?

Shanshan let out a sigh, paused as she passed a Chocolate Shop, the sliding door of glass releasing the faint aroma of chocolate.

After stopping for a few minutes, Shanshan moved on.

The sky gradually darkened, and the wind picked up.

Shanshan had just returned to the hotel when a light drizzle began to fall.

After a shower, Shanshan lay on the couch, clutching a gaming console and engrossed in a game.

“Knock, knock, knock—”

The sound of knocking shattered the peacefulness of the room; she rolled over, sat up, and walked to the door in her slippers.

“Shanshan, everyone is down in the billiards room playing, we are only missing you.” The door opened to the sweet voice unique to a girl.

The woman’s features, taken separately, were not particularly attractive, but combined on one face, they lent her a composed air, that kind that grows on you.

Jiang Shan, one of Shanshan’s friends from class.

“I’ll pass, you guys go ahead and play,” Shanshan said.

“Come on, Shanshan, let’s go together. It’s rare for us to all get together like this, just come and play for a bit,” Jiang Shan, grinning, pleaded, tugging at her arm.

“If you keep shaking my arm, I am going to throw up my dinner,” Shanshan responded helplessly.

Jiang Shan’s face brightened, “So you’re saying yes?”

Shanshan replied, “Can I say no?”

“No, you can’t,” Jiang Shan’s eyes crinkled with mirth, “Hurry up, then.”

“Let me change my shoes.”

Shanshan walked back into the room to change shoes, then took her phone and went with her to the billiards room.

The crystal chandelier refracted colorful light, casting the smiles of everyone’s faces. As Shanshan and Jiang Shan entered, all eyes immediately focused on them.

“Shanshan, you’re the last one, so you have to take a penalty drink.”

“That’s right, a penalty drink.”

“As the youngest ‘junior’ among us, and the youngest in our class, Shanshan, you can’t refuse this drink.”

Hearing everyone’s teasing, Shanshan cracked a smile, didn’t say another word, grabbed the glass, and downed the drink like one of the guys.

“Alright, Shanshan doesn’t have a high alcohol tolerance, let her be,” Jiang Shan pulled Shanshan to a seat, covering for her.

“I can’t believe it, Shanshan graduating with us, that’s so unfair,” said the man with black-framed glasses, shaking his head and sighing in a comically plaintive way, making everyone laugh.

“Cut it out, ‘Piggy’,” Jiang Shan teased.

At the mention of the nickname “Piggy,” everyone burst into laughter.

The man with the black-framed glasses gave Jiang Shan an annoyed look, “Little Jiang Shan, you are not showing any love with words like that.”

Lin Jun had a refined appearance, just as everyone saw, scholarly and with an intense academic aura. With his large appetite, and profound love for snacks, he was dubbed “Piggy” by everyone.

“There was never any love between us, don’t go ruining this girl’s reputation,” Jiang Shan shot back.

Lin Jun clutched at his heart, a wronged woman’s expression on his face, “Oh, my heart, it’s shattered into pieces. Little Jiang Shan, how could you be so cruel and heartless to me.”

The others mimed vomiting, “Ugh—”

“Enough already, it’s disgusting,” said the man sitting next to him, smacking Lin Jun on the head with a knuckle, then rubbing his own arm.

“Damn, ‘Monkey King,’ I always say don’t hit the head when you hit someone,” Lin Jun, rubbing his head, threw a glare at the man, complaining.

“Would you be able to compensate if you damaged something?”

The man in the leather jacket smiled crookedly, “Not hitting doesn’t seem to have made you any smarter.”

Zhou Xu, skilled in Sanda and Taekwondo, had a high fighting capacity and was nicknamed “Monkey.”

“Stinky Monkey, are you asking for a beating?”

“No, I owe money.”

The two bantered and bickered, and the others were already used to it.

“Elder Tang, won’t you take care of your two disciples? They’re about to start fighting.” Jiang Shan barely held back a laugh as she teased the man across from her.

Zheng Nan, a walking encyclopedia, was nicknamed “Elder Tang.”

Zheng Nan pressed his palms together, “Amitabha, even this poor monk is powerless.”

“Haha.”

Shanshan couldn’t contain her laughter at their antics and doubled over with mirth.

“I say, why didn’t you guys go into comedy? What a waste of talent.”

“No, I’m afraid I couldn’t help but strangle this stinky monkey while we talk,” Lin Jun said, grinding his molars.

There were only ten people on this trip, including Shanshan, all good friends with her; otherwise, they couldn’t have joked around so comfortably.

“Heard that the people from the class next to ours are also here?” Zheng Nan said.

Jiang Shan took a sip of beer and replied, “What `heard’? I saw them at the entrance of the hotel today. They’re staying in this hotel too.”

“They really are like lingering spirits, showing up everywhere.” Zhou Xu complained.

It would have been fine just bumping into them occasionally, but now they were on a graduation trip, and those people had followed them. It was frustrating.

“You guys are here too, what a coincidence.”

A man’s deep voice suddenly interjected.

Shanshan looked at the group appearing at the door with indifference.

Lin Jun tapped Zheng Nan and whispered, “That’s why you shouldn’t talk about people during the day or ghosts at night.”

No sooner had he said this than the annoying bunch showed up.

Zheng Nan shrugged, he was also helpless.

“It’s quite a coincidence that both our classes chose this place for our graduation trip,” the man who had just spoken strode in, his gaze landing on Shanshan, intentionally or unintentionally.

“Are you guys also playing billiards? Mind if we join in?”

Jiang Shan pursed her lips. Would they leave conscientiously if she said it was inconvenient?

“Feel free,” Zheng Nan said diffusing the situation when it mattered.

Even though he disliked Fang Bo and his group, the billiard room wasn’t booked by them exclusively, so naturally, he had no right to bar them from entering.

“Shanshan, would you like to join us for a game of pool?” Fang Bo couldn’t hide his intentions for more than two minutes.

Everyone present knew Fang Bo had once confessed to Shanshan and had been ruthlessly rejected. Knowing full well that Shanshan didn’t like dealing with him, he still shamelessly tried to get close to her—what thick skin.

The onlookers watched Fang Bo with glee, waiting to see the drama unfold.

Sure enough, Shanshan rejected him cleanly and directly.

“No need,” she said.

Jiang Shan and her group bowed their heads, struggling to suppress their laughter.

“Fang Bo, why don’t you guys go play over there?” Ignoring Fang Bo’s unpleasant expression, Zhou Xu tactfully issued the hint to leave.

“It’s boring just playing by ourselves. Why don’t you join in?” Fang Bo, pretending not to see their unwelcoming attitudes, invited them with feigned politeness.

Suddenly, Shanshan stood up, and everyone was startled.

“I’m a bit hungry. How about we go for some late-night food? My treat, as an apology for being late.” She looked down at Jiang Shan and her group as she offered.

Jiang Shan smiled knowingly and stood up as well, “Sounds good, I’m hungry too.”
