82: Hello, I am technician number 99.

Chen Li's heart gave a sudden jolt—could it be her?

Or rather, he knew who she was unilaterally, but she didn't know him at all.

Chen Li secretly lamented in his heart.

That figure moved too quickly; he had only managed to catch a glimpse of her silhouette, without even giving him half a second to use his system to see her clearly.

The opportunity was fleeting!

Without a second thought, Chen Li threw the Lobster leg in his hand onto the plate and grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth haphazardly.

"You guys eat first. I saw an acquaintance, I'm going to say hello!"

He hurriedly threw this sentence at his brothers who were still buried in their food, stood up, and walked quickly in the direction where the figure had disappeared.

He absolutely could not miss an opportunity like this...

Chen Li walked quickly to the corridor from before, but the person was gone; however, he happened to see a waiter walking from the corner at the end.

He immediately stepped forward and asked politely:

"Hello, may I ask if the girl who just walked by here is a technician at your club?"

"Hello, sir. Yes, she is our facial technician."

"What is her name?"

"Her name is Nana, Technician No. 99. She was just requested by a guest for service."

"Nana? Is that her real name?"

"I'm sorry, sir. We all use the technicians' stage names or employee numbers here; we aren't very clear on their real names either."

"Then could you please help me make a reservation? I'd like to request her for a facial service later."

"Certainly, sir. I will make the reservation for you right now. Please give me your hand tag so I can record it."

The waiter took the hand tag Chen Li handed over, keeping a smile on her face the whole time, and said while operating the device:

"Please pay attention. Later, your hand tag will light up red and vibrate. At that time, you can just come directly to the front desk on the third floor."

He saw her skillfully tap the hand tag against a black handheld device. With a soft 'beep' and a few flashes on the screen, the reservation information was recorded.

"The reservation is complete. Technician Nana will be free in about sixty minutes."

She handed the hand tag back to Chen Li with both hands, her movements gentle and professional.

"Thank you." Chen Li took the hand tag.

"You are too kind. Is there anything else I can help you with?" She bowed slightly, her tone remaining enthusiastic.

"Not for now."

"I wish you a pleasant time at 'Yuhuang'!"

After the waiter left, Chen Li couldn't help but feel confused. Could he have really seen it wrong?

Although it was just a fleeting glance, that silhouette was all too familiar.

How could he possibly misidentify that figure engraved in the memories of his youth?

That was the undisputed goddess from the class next door in his High School, the most dazzling campus belle in the school—Liu Nansheng.

It wasn't just that she was extremely beautiful; more importantly, it was the unique aura she possessed—cold yet gentle, like a gardenia covered in morning dew.

In the corridors between classes, whenever she passed by, almost all the boys would unconsciously watch her, and even the naughtiest boys would restrain themselves a bit in her presence.

She suddenly disappeared before the college entrance exam.

No one knew the specific reason; it was only rumored that her family had suffered a misfortune. In the end, she didn't even attend college and went straight to work after graduating from High School.

This news had caused many boys who had a crush on her to sigh with regret back then—if she had gone to college, who knows how many people would have followed her by applying to the city where she was.

That beautiful figure just now, although it had only flashed by, the way she walked, that straight nose bridge that looked like it had been meticulously carved,

and that head of jet-black long hair, all overlapped with the Liu Nansheng in his memories.

"Let's just book it first and see." Chen Li made up his mind.

If it wasn't her, at worst it would just be a normal facial service;

but if it happened to be her... he absolutely could not miss it!

When he returned to his seat, Zhang Yixi's mouth was still stuffed with caviar, and he asked indistinctly: "What's wrong? Where's the acquaintance? Why didn't you call them over to sit?"

"It's nothing, I might have recognized the wrong person," Chen Li said regretfully.

"Was it a beauty?" Guo Zihong teased, winking.

"Of course," Chen Li smiled.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, rubbing their round, full bellies, they headed straight for the e-sports room in the leisure area with a clear purpose.

They had specifically chosen a four-person private room. As soon as they pushed open the door, they were stunned by the scene before them—in the spacious area,

four top-configured computers were arranged neatly, their curved monitors emitting a faint blue glow,

the sound of mechanical keyboards clicking was crisp and pleasant, and the professional e-sports chairs were so comfortable that once you sat down, you wouldn't want to get up.

"Damn, this configuration, this environment—compared to those broken computers in our Dormitory, it's like heaven and earth!"

Zhang Yixi rubbed his hands in excitement and was the first to rush inside.

There was still an hour left until the booked facial service, just enough time for them to enjoy a few games.

Soon, the sound of intense keyboard clicking and their shouting filled the private room.

"Top lane, top lane, hurry up! A Li, you idiot, are you still picking mushrooms in the jungle?"

Zhang Yixi stared at the screen, so excited he almost jumped out of his chair.

"Coming, coming..."

Chen Li scrambled to control his character to rush to the lane, but unfortunately, by the time he arrived, his teammates had all fallen.

He charged in alone and was instantly beaten to death by the five opponents.

"3333... We're all dead, what are you still charging in for?"

Guo Zihong was so angry he felt like vomiting blood. "Isn't this just feeding them?"

"Next time, next time... I will definitely arrive in time," Chen Li scratched his head awkwardly.

"A Li, can you please put some effort into it?"

Wu Qiang also sounded like he was disappointed in him. "How many times has this been now?"

After playing two more games, Chen Li's hand tag finally lit up with a red light and emitted a slight vibration.

He immediately dropped the mouse and stood up impatiently: "Sorry guys, I have to go get my facial now. If you need any services, order them yourselves."

At this moment, the three of them were focused intently on the screen and had no time to pay attention to this teammate who was deserting his post; they just waved their hands perfunctorily, signaling him to leave quickly.

Chen Li smiled, turned, and left the private room, leaving behind his three brothers who were still in the midst of a fierce battle.

Chen Li walked slowly up the spacious marble staircase to the third floor. The entire space was exceptionally quiet, forming a stark contrast to the noise of the dining area downstairs.

The waiter from before was already waiting at the front desk. Seeing him come up, she immediately walked up with a smile: "Sir, please come with me."

He followed the waiter through a winding corridor lined with closed doors on both sides, where warm yellow wall lamps cast soft halos of light onto the walls.

A faint fragrance wafted through the corridor, like cedar mixed with some unknown floral scent, making one relax involuntarily.

Finally, the waiter stopped in front of a dark wooden door and gently pushed it open: "Sir, please rest in the room for a moment. The technician will be here shortly."

The decoration inside the room was very elegant, with dark brown wallpaper paired with dark gold decorative lines.

A few wall lamps emitted just the right amount of warm light—neither too bright to be dazzling, nor too dim to see every corner of the room.

In the center was a professional beauty bed covered with pristine white sheets, and various skincare products were neatly arranged on the cart next to it.

The faint scent of essential oils drifted through the air, and accompanied by the faintly audible soft music, the entire space felt exceptionally quiet and comfortable.

Not long after Chen Li sat down on the edge of the bed, a gentle knock came from outside the door.

"Hello, I am the technician. May I come in?" A clear female voice sounded from outside the door.

"Please come in." Chen Li sat up straight involuntarily.

The door was gently pushed open, and a figure wearing a pale pink uniform walked in.

She bowed slightly, her voice gentle and polite: "Hello, valued guest. I am Technician No. 99, Nana. I am very happy to serve you..."

The moment her gaze met Chen Li's, Chen Li was completely stunned—
