Chapter 75 - Chief Can Only Help You To Here (2/2)

Meng Fan also felt helpless. He didn’t know if he really understood the grandpa’s intention so it was difficult to explain. He thought about it, and asked Freckles, “Do you have somewhere to go?”

Freckles shook her head.

Meng Fan asked once again, “Did you bring your government ID?”

Freckles hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“Then, the only thing we can do is get a hotel room.”

Freckles paused and then carefully asked Meng Fan, “Then what about you?”

Meng Fan hurriedly justified himself. “You take one by yourself, I won’t go in.”

Freckles looked nervous, but she had no other ideas. “Then, it seems like this is the only way.”

Seeing the boy and girl leave, the gate guarding grandpa revealed a gratifying smile that seems to have an insight to everything.

You won’t go in?

The grandpa recalled the statement the young lad had said. I’ll just dwindle for a moment and not to go in. Hehe. Young people these days are all playing this routine, huh?

Meng Fan naturally didn’t know he had understood the look conveyed by the grandpa. Even more, he didn’t know that his conversation at the gate with Freckles had triggered the imagination of the grandpa.

Not long after, the two arrived at a fairly nice hotel near the national art academy.

“I’m leaving. If you need anything, send me a WeChat.”

Of course, Meng Fan was not the type of person to follow her in. After checking her in, he turned and left.

There was no way he’d walk her to her room. Who knows what trouble that trip would cause. Even if nothing happened, Freckles might misunderstand him for harboring some bad intentions.

Meng Fan didn’t return to the school, nor did he check in another room.

So where did he go?

He had the choice to go to an internet cafe, but he would be uncomfortable not showering for so long. So he turned around and headed towards a neighborhood on the right side of the academy.

When Meng Fan was in elementary school, his family had bought a house near the HuaXia art academy. Conveniently, they were lucky, and the houses had been cheap. Plus they had confirmed Meng Fan was going to Hua Xia academy and wanted to facilitate his future living. Who knew the housing prices would skyrocket so fast? Carelessly, it had become a successful investment.

The house here had been used for renting. It had been refurbished before Meng Fan began college and was no longer rented from then on. The rent they received in that year was enough to rival the money they’d spent on the house.

During his first year, Meng Fan would come to live here for a few days every now and then. But after he became familiarized with his roommates, he only went over once every week or two. Recently, he had been going even less; it must have been three weeks since he last went over.

He took a shower happily and strolled around the room with no clothes on. A space with nobody else in it, how free?!

Lonely?

To a homebody, this term did not exist.

Video games and manga kept him up until 2 am. He then switched to listening to the dreamlike sounds of virtual girls who were projected on his stream assistant’s interface. He interacted with them for a bit, then went to bed satisfied.

The next morning, Meng Fan habitually woke up at five o’clock. Thinking about it, he clutched his pillow and snoozed for another two hours.

School was already out, so he should give himself a break too. Besides, Wu Tong wasn’t even here. Today’s morning run was canceled!

At seven, he crawled out of bed and went downstairs to grab his several bags and art tube. Then grabbed breakfast and headed back to his house.

He had to plan out his October 1st holiday.

During the holidays, there were bound to be loads of tourists plaguing the scenic areas.

If it had been the old Meng Fan, he would have rather died than went to squeeze in the crowd. But it was different now. While the spots were crowded, he could go and collect some likes. He also had to continue working on his [Night Touring God] task.

Then on the fifth, he had to rush to Shanghai to meet Wu Tong for Shan Jin bro’s concert.

When he got to this, a bold idea formed in his mind.

Why not tour his way from Hangzhou to Shanghai?

Hangzhou’s scenic spots could be visited anytime, but the other places cannot be visited so freely.

What do people fear most when out on vacation?

Traffic!

But he didn’t have to be!
