120: Chapter 120 Jiang Che, you, you scoundrel!

Jiang Che's voice was very clear, and his singing voice was very gentle.

Sitting on the stool, he looked very different from usual, especially when he held the guitar.

As the song ended, the whole room erupted into enthusiastic applause. It wasn't necessarily louder than the applause for the previous resident singer, but the audience really did think it sounded very good.

It wasn't until he stepped off the stage and returned to his seat that Luo Yao and Su Su, who had been completely absorbed in listening, finally came back to their senses.

"How about it? Are you convinced?" Jiang Che teased with a smile.

Luo Yao was full of envy, "Brother Che, you actually know how to play the guitar and you sing so well! I've been tricked; I shouldn't have made that bet just now!"

Jiang Che turned his head to look at Su Su, "What about you? Care to give a professional critique?"

At this moment, Su Su's cheeks were slightly flushed. She lowered her head in a bit of embarrassment, using her straw to sip her drink to hide her recent loss of composure, then said softly, "It was not bad..."

Jiang Che clearly didn't believe it, "Just 'not bad'?"

Seeing him pressing her for an answer, Su Su's gaze darted away, and she added another comment, "It was quite good."

In reality, when Jiang Che sang, there wasn't much technique, nor was there the top-tier sound equipment she was accustomed to. Su Su could even tell that there were several times in the middle where he played a few notes wrong.

But his voice was very clean, very sincere, and... very pleasant to listen to.

Su Su knew quite a few celebrity artists, and a whole bunch of them sang well, but this was the first time she had felt so calm and comfortable listening to someone sing.

When Jiang Che sang, it was like having a boy sitting right in front of you, telling a story in a gentle, flowing manner.

Hearing such high praise from Su Su, Jiang Che was also a bit surprised, "I was just joking. Are you complimenting me seriously? You aren't just engaging in mutual professional flattery, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Su felt slightly annoyed and rolled her eyes at him, "Who wants to flatter you."

This remark made Luo Yao giggle.

They spent a full half-hour eating their late-night snack, the three of them chatting and eating, having a great time, until Su Su's phone rang.

Su Su took a glance at it, then pursed her lips slightly.

"Is it a call from Chen Xuan?" Jiang Che asked.

Su Su nodded, "It's getting late, time to go back."

Originally, it was agreed that Jiang Che would treat them, after all, they had gotten to watch a concert for free tonight, and the two of them owed her a huge favor.

However, to Jiang Che's surprise, Su Su ended up paying the bill.

Seeing Jiang Che's confusion, Su Su then said, "I suggested this meal, so I'm treating, but you are not allowed to welch on that remaining four hundred yuan or so."

Soon, the motorhome arrived nearby, and Su Su just waved her hand without even turning her head, leaving in a dashing manner.

"Brother Che, what four hundred yuan?" a confused Luo Yao couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Che shook his head, "It's nothing, just a favor I owed her before."

Watching Su Su's retreating figure, Jiang Che felt a bit helpless and amused. First, she sent a big box of expensive items, then arranged for them to watch a concert for free, and finally treated them to a big meal. She had done everything, yet she remained fixated on that 'big meal' of 500 yuan that he had promised.

Sure enough, Su Su's personality was still a bit strange.

It was already late at night, just past twelve o'clock.

Jiang Che called a car and rushed back to the hotel with Luo Yao. Luo Yao, who had spent the whole night watching the performance and eating a late-night snack, soon fell asleep in the car.

And, unsurprisingly, she leaned against him.

Jiang Che had black lines on his forehead; why did everyone like to lean on him to sleep whenever they rode in a car with him?

However, the ride was only a short 20 minutes or so, and soon, the two arrived at the hotel.

After waking Luo Yao up, the two went upstairs together.

"We leave at 8 AM tomorrow. I'll wake you up at 7:30, and we'll go to the restaurant for breakfast together." After getting out of the elevator, Jiang Che said as they walked.

"Okay." Luo Yao nodded obediently.

Soon, the two walked to their room doors. Jiang Che said goodnight, then swiped the door open, preparing to return to his room.

However, just as he was about to enter, Luo Yao, who was beside him, suddenly trotted two steps to get in front of Jiang Che. Then, to his utter astonishment, she stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Jiang Che stood frozen in place, and then he saw Luo Yao with a flushed face, head slightly lowered, "Thank you for taking me to the concert. Goodnight!"

After saying this, Luo Yao hurriedly slipped back into her room, closing the door in a fluster.

Jiang Che was a bit dazed. What was this supposed to be? Gratitude? But for a man and a woman alone, this way of expressing gratitude was a bit too... ambiguous, right?

He suddenly remembered what An Ran had said to him: "Yao Yao likes you."

Jiang Che, feeling a massive headache coming on, looked at Luo Yao's tightly closed door, hesitated for two seconds, then went into his own room and closed the door.

Damn... it seems I've caused trouble.

Luo Yao, who heard the sound of Jiang Che closing his door, was currently leaning against the back of her door. Her face was flushed, and she was both shy and panicked, fearing that Jiang Che might chase after her and knock on the door.

Hearing that he had returned to his room, Luo Yao finally raised her hand, patted her chest, and let out a long sigh of relief. But... amidst the relief, there was also a sense of disappointment.

Luo Yao, you are a girl, you need to be reserved! How could you just kiss him like that!

But... why didn't he ask her anything at all?

Back in his room, Jiang Che didn't know how panicked Luo Yao was next door. After hesitating for a moment, he sent a message to Luo Yao: "Goodnight."

Hearing the message on her phone, Luo Yao quickly picked it up, but after seeing only the two words "Goodnight," she pouted slightly again.

Goodnight... Goodnight? Why only two words? What is he trying to say, exactly?

Jiang Che could only comfort himself. Luo Yao's kiss just now was only on the cheek, not the mouth. Maybe it was just because she had watched the concert and had a late-night snack with her idol, Su Su, and was too happy, which is why that scene just happened...

After comforting himself a little, Jiang Che sent a message to both An Ran and Stinky Girl.

The content was exactly the same: "Asleep?"

Soon, An Ran replied, "No."

But after saying that, she sent another one: "Video call?"

Jiang Che, who had just taken off his shirt and was preparing to take a shower, was still hesitating when the other party's video call already came through.

Jiang Che could only click accept. Soon, An Ran's face appeared on the screen, but as soon as she appeared, her face turned red.

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"I was just about to take a shower when you called. Should I take the phone into the bathroom?"

An Ran gave a shy, annoyed sound, said "Chat after you finish washing," and then hung up immediately.

Jiang Che felt a bit helpless and amused. It wasn't like she hadn't seen it before, why was she still shy?

Jiang Che took his phone into the bathroom, then took off all his clothes and turned on the showerhead. The warm water flowing over his body felt very comfortable.

Just as he was enjoying the water that felt like a massage, his phone rang again, and it was a video call.

Jiang Che thought it was An Ran who had changed her mind, so he picked up the phone and answered it without even looking.

"What? Still feel like you're missing out by not looking?"

The next second... a shriek came from the phone. It wasn't An Ran; it was Stinky Girl...

"Eek! Jiang Che, you, you pervert!"
