You Know Me Best

After hugging and chatting passionately for a few minutes, Su Yang was just about to make a further move.

Pan Ning gently pushed Su Yang away, looked into his eyes, and said softly, "That's enough for today. You should go back."

......

Hearing this, Su Yang was taken aback. "That's it?"

"Mhm, it's not very convenient here. My room is very close to the one next door. Zi Yun is staying right next to me."

"If we were heard, it would be social suicide."

Su Yang grinned. "Alright then, get some rest early. Don't play on your phone."

Pan Ning nodded. Suddenly remembering something, she picked up her phone, opened Douyin, found a video, and held it in front of Su Yang.

"You've gone viral."

Looking at the video, Su Yang smiled. "You came across it too?"

"Mhm, I even gave it a like."

"Heh, me too..."

After chatting idly for a few more sentences, Su Yang went back to his room to rest.

The night passed without incident.

At ten o'clock the next morning, everyone had gotten up and gathered in the living room on the first floor.

Staff from the homestay brought over a variety of delicious food for them.

After having a simple breakfast around the sofa, the four girls went back to their rooms to change clothes, while the six guys went out onto the balcony to smoke.

"Sleep well last night?" Meng Wenzhou asked, looking at the others.

Su Yang nodded. "Pretty good. What about you guys? Rest well?"

"Fully recharged!" Liu Bo laughed, swinging gently on the nearby swing.

Ji Bo gave Liu Bo a look of disdain. "I'm telling you, Fatty, get off that swing. It wasn't made for you."

"Yeah, one more swing and I think it's gonna snap," Chu Qiunan chimed in with a laugh.

Liu Bo glared at the two of them. "It's not that exaggerated! Who says guys can't swing on a swing? It's quite comfortable~"

"The swing: Speak up for me!!" Ji Bo shouted.

"Speak up your ass~"

"What are we doing later?" Zhang Ziming asked, flicking his cigarette butt into the ashtray on the table.

"Didn't we say yesterday we'd rent some electric scooters to ride around Erhai Lake today?"

"Oh, right! Damn, my memory."

"But riding around Erhai won't take the whole day, right? What about the afternoon?"

"I have a suggestion for the afternoon," Liu Bo said, raising his hand.

"What suggestion?" The others turned to look at Liu Bo.

Liu Bo glanced at Su Yang and was just about to speak when Su Yang cut him off. "Hold on. You're not thinking of having me play chef again tonight, are you?"

"Huh? Brother Yang, you guessed it?"

"Hmph, I know exactly what you're up to."

"Hahaha, Brother Yang, you know me so well~"

"I agree. Yang Yang, your cooking skills are truly unbeatable. Make us another meal tonight, please~" Zhang Ziming blinked at Su Yang pleadingly.

Su Yang smiled helplessly. "We'll see tonight."

"Hehe, good~ Today, let's just focus on having fun. After resting well, we'll set off for Licheng tomorrow morning!"

"Ercheng isn't far from Licheng. After we get there tomorrow, we can find a bar to hang out in the evening," Liu Bo suggested.

"Sure. Licheng has another name, you know—the City of Encounters. Whether we have any 'encounters' tomorrow will depend on our own luck, haha~" Chu Qiunan grinned at the others.

Liu Bo rolled his eyes at Chu Qiunan. "Hey, you have no idea how good Brother Yang's luck with the ladies is. You dare compare your luck to his in that regard?"

"How good is it?"

"Out of the four girls in our group, all of them rode in his car. How good do you think that is?" Meng Wenzhou turned to Chu Qiunan with a faint smile.

Chu Qiunan thought for two seconds, then scratched his head, somewhat awkwardly changing the subject. "Oh, right. Did you guys see the video of Old Su singing at the city gate last night?"

"Of course! Let me check!" Liu Bo said, pulling out his phone and opening Douyin. He looked and exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap!! Guess how many tens of thousands of likes this video has now?"

Zhang Ziming thought for a moment. "When I saw it last night, it already had over three hundred thousand. Now it's probably around two million?"

"Six hundred!!"

"How much??? Six hundred thousand?"

"Six million! Look for yourself." Liu Bo handed his phone to Zhang Ziming.

Zhang Ziming's expression was exaggerated, his mouth agape. "Holy shit!! Yang Yang, you're completely famous!!"

Su Yang smiled faintly. "Oh, famous or not, it doesn't matter~"

"Don't pretend! You might not want to be famous, but I do!!"

"Whoa! Someone even found your Douyin account!!" Zhang Ziming clicked on a comment and shouted.

"What?" Su Yang tilted his head to look. It was precisely a reply under Zhong Qing's comment from last night.

Sure enough, someone had tagged his Douyin account, 'Driving a Sports Car to Buy Groceries.'

"Holy crap? Is there anything netizens can't find?" Su Yang said, both surprised and amused.

"These people are something else."

"Whatever. It doesn't matter if they found it. At most, it'll just get me a few more followers."

"I bet they're all pretty girls following you."

"Seems learning to sing well is somewhat necessary after all!" Ji Bo remarked calmly, stroking his chin.

"Exactly! Starting today, I'm going to practice singing whenever I have free time!!" Chu Qiunan declared earnestly, clenching his fist.

The others completely ignored what he said.

Su Yang thought for a moment and then looked at the group. "By the way, how about we go to Yulong Snow Mountain the day after tomorrow?"

"Snow Mountain?"

"Yeah. Going to Licheng without visiting Yulong Snow Mountain is like going to Tibet without visiting the holy city."

"Fine. It's just that climbing mountains is so tiring."

"You don't have to climb; you can take the cable car up~" Meng Wenzhou said calmly.

"Brother Meng has been there before?"

"Yeah, I have. It's actually not bad. The summit is quite beautiful if there's snow, but it's late August now, not sure if there will be any."

"Who cares? If we're going, let's all go together. We're not in a hurry anyway, let's take our time and enjoy~" Zhang Ziming said, clasping his hands behind his head and leaning back on the sofa.

As they were chatting, the four girls came downstairs.

Since they were going to ride bikes later, all four had changed into neat sportswear: baseball caps, T-shirts paired with sporty shorts and sneakers.

Meng Qianyu even had a small camera hanging around her neck, giving off a very youthful vibe.

The guys' eyes were glued, staring motionlessly at the four beauties.

"Let's go, handsome guys!!" Meng Qianyu shouted as she walked to the edge of the balcony.

The guys stood up laughing, and the ten of them headed out of the villa together.

Soon, they walked out of the homestay gate and onto the road outside.

Ercheng today was again clear and bright, sunny but not too hot—perfect weather for a bike ride.

Liu Bo and Ji Bo had asked the staff earlier where to rent electric scooters. Now, the two of them led the group along one side of a small path.

There were quite a few various shops in the Shuanglang Ancient Town area.

They had only walked about twenty or thirty meters when they saw a shop specializing in electric scooter rentals.

Liu Bo pointed at the shop. "Let's rent them here~"

"Okay."

As they spoke, they quickly walked into the small courtyard in front of the shop.

Just as they entered the courtyard, they saw over twenty electric scooters parked neatly in rows.

However, there was no one in the courtyard at the moment. Liu Bo glanced at the scooters and shouted towards a room not far away, "Anyone here?"

"Yeah, yeah, coming, coming."

Two seconds after hearing the voice, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties came jogging out with a beaming smile.

He glanced at the few people standing in the courtyard and asked politely, "Oh, looking to rent a car, handsome, miss?"

"Yep, are you the boss?" Liu Bo stepped forward and asked.

"That's right, that's right, I'm the boss. I'm probably a few years older than you all, you can call me Brother Ma~"

"Alright then, Brother Ma, how do you rent these cars?"
