After everyone returned to the inn's reception area, sat down, and had a few cups of tea, they prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.
Meng Qianyu looked at Su Yang, who was still sitting: "Brother Su Yang, what time are we leaving later?"
Su Yang raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "Ten o'clock. I'll message you later. Don't fall asleep, okay?"
"Definitely not. I'll go back, take a shower, and play on my phone."
"Alright, you go ahead then. I'll sit here a bit longer."
"Okay."
Meng Qianyu, Tang Ziyun, and Su Qingci were the first to leave.
The others sat for a while longer, chatting with the inn owner, before also getting up one by one to return to their rooms.
Meng Wenzhou looked at Su Yang: "Old Su, are you still going with Qianyu later to Ganjiazi to watch the meteor shower?"
Su Yang smiled wryly: "Yeah, I promised her a long time ago. But I originally thought we'd just watch it from the mountain top in the ancient town. Who knew she'd pick such a faraway place."
Meng Wenzhou gave a bitter laugh: "Well, good luck then. I can't walk anymore; I'm heading back to my room first."
"Alright, rest early. We're heading to the next stop tomorrow."
"Oh right, where is our next stop again?"
Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Ya'an."
"Ok, then we really need a good rest tonight. I'm off."
"Mhm."
As Meng Wenzhou spoke, he left first with Liu Bo and the others.
Now, only Su Yang, Pan Ning, and Zhong Qing remained at the tea table.
Su Yang turned to look at Pan Ning and Zhong Qing: "Aren't you two going back to your rooms to rest?"
"Aren't you leaving?"
"I'm not tired. I'll have a couple more cups of tea before going back."
Pan Ning said calmly, "Then I'm going back. Be careful driving tonight."
"Got it. You hurry back, take a shower, and rest. We'll set off early tomorrow."
"Mhm." Pan Ning agreed and walked towards the backyard with Zhong Qing.
After the two left, Su Yang leaned back in his chair alone, drinking tea, smoking, and chatting idly with the inn owner.
"Brother Lao Ma, my friend said the viewing is really good for the meteor shower at Ganjiazi at night. Have you been?"
"Of course I've been. I took my family there the year before last, also at night to watch the meteor shower. The viewing experience is indeed excellent."
"Although there are several good spots within the ancient town to watch the meteor shower, the effect is still much worse compared to over there. Especially if you want to take photos, going there is the best choice."
"However, the only downside of Ganjiazi is that it's a bit remote and out of the way. There are basically no people there at night. You guys should still be careful later, don't go too far. I've heard there might be wild wolves around there at night."
"Although I didn't encounter any when I was there."
Su Yang nodded: "Mhm, understood."
"Come on, have some tea." Brother Lao Ma smiled warmly as he refilled the empty cup in front of Su Yang.
After sitting for another half hour, Su Yang got up, said goodbye to Brother Lao Ma, and went back to his room to rest.
The time was now 8:35 PM. After returning to his room and taking a shower, Su Yang lay on the living room sofa and started playing on his phone.
As soon as he opened WeChat, he saw over twenty notifications on his Moments.
Curious, Su Yang clicked to look. Everyone in the group had liked his post. Liu Bo had even commented: "Brother Yang, when did you become so artsy?"
Ji Bo: "Brother Yang, confess, did you copy this caption online?"
Zhang Ziming: "Yangyang, you take a photo, but why did you deliberately show off that Richard Mille watch of yours? I'm so jealous!"
Seeing this comment, Su Yang was taken aback. He looked carefully at his photo. Indeed, he was holding his phone with his right hand to take the picture, his left hand was making a peace sign, and half of his wristwatch was also captured in the frame.
"Whoa, I really didn't notice that. But whatever~"
Su Yang smiled silently, too lazy to reply to these guys. He continued scrolling to see other comments.
Zhao Mengrou also left a comment: "You, Su Yang, sneaking off to play again!! Without calling me!"
Gu Xiaoman replied under Zhao Mengrou's comment: "He's probably already forgotten about the two of us~"
Su Yang chuckled and replied: "Sister Xiaoman, that's so unfair. How could I forget you guys? [Grin] I'll treat you to a meal when I'm back~"
Lin Xiaomo: "Su Yang, when are you returning to Haicheng? My birthday is coming up. Can you come home with me to celebrate? I can introduce you to my parents~"
Looking at this comment, Su Yang was dazed for a second. Then he frowned and scratched his head: "Damn, is this person crazy?"
"You wouldn't let me meet your parents no matter what before, and now you come out with this out of nowhere? Like hell I'll go with you."
Su Yang ignored Lin Xiaomo's comment and continued reading the others.
Lin Yiyi also sent one: "Brother Su Yang, you've gone traveling again~ Is this Yulong Snow Mountain? So beautiful, and the person is so handsome too [Shy] [Star-eyed]"
Su Yang replied: "Yes, just out having fun with some friends. I'll invite you next time~"
Jiang Mengyun: "Living the life~"
Su Yang replied: "Haha, I'll come to your café for coffee when I'm back in Haicheng."
Xu Zilin: "Yulong Snow Mountain looks so pretty. Did you go alone?"
Su Yang: "No, with some friends. I'll look you up when I'm back, remember to treat me to a meal~ [Giggle]"
Xia Li: "Hands-off boss~"
Su Yang: "That's what I have you for [Haha]"
Song Anquan: "Brother Yang, where are you? I'm on my honeymoon in Lucheng right now [Hehe]"
Su Yang: "Sweet! When are you having a little monkey for me to play with? [Haha] By the way, remember to contact me when you're done there and back in Haicheng. I'll help arrange a job for you."
Dad: "Be safe on your trip."
Mom: "Your dad and I are going to the capital to play tomorrow."
Seeing his parents' comments, Su Yang smiled warmly. He replied to each of them, then exited WeChat, opened his banking app, and quietly transferred 500,000 to each of them.
At 10 PM, a message from Meng Qianyu came through.
"Brother Su Yang, it's ten o'clock~"
Su Yang opened the chat and replied: "Okay, let's set off then. You head out now, I'll wait for you in the reception area."
"Okay~"
"By the way, it's a bit chilly at night. Wear a jacket."
"Alright."
Turning off his phone, Su Yang rolled over, sat up, stretched, then picked up the sling bag he always carried with him and pushed the door open.
A few minutes later, the two met up in the reception area, arriving one after the other.
Meng Qianyu had her camera hanging around her neck and was holding a tripod. She had changed into a black floral-print maxi dress with a short, thin brown jacket draped over her shoulders, looking sweet and lively.
Su Yang stood at the entrance and waved: "Qianyu, over here."
"Coming~"
"Why aren't you wearing long pants? Ganjiazi is over 3,000 meters above sea level, and it's nighttime on top of that. It's definitely going to be very cold."
"It's fine, I'm not cold."
"Alright then, let's go."
"Okay!" Meng Qianyu's face was full of anticipation. She walked up, reached out, and linked her arm with Su Yang's. Side by side, they walked out of the inn.
There were quite a few tourists checking in at the moment. Eight or nine people were sitting by the tea tables, and four or five were standing by the front desk waiting to check in.
Seeing this handsome man and beautiful girl, several people whispered and commented.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
