right hand, which was grabbing the small item, accidentally hit her prominent chest.At this moment, everything went silent. What surprised Su Can was that his mind was completely blank—the first thou...Chapter 99: Troubling Visitors

Even in front of the KTV lounge, one could hardly see various luxury cars racing to the place with their brands unidentifiable and a procession of young men and women stepping out of them. However, from afar, one could sense the dynamism and energy this avant-garde establishment exuded throughout the city.

Su Cen, along with Xue Yiyang and Liu Rui, led their families onto the public bus route to the lounge area. They got off at a nearby station and crossed the road to enter the KTV lounge. The three of them thought that people standing at the entrance might have mistaken them for a group of teachers from some local winter camp.

The ones following Su Cen were mostly children of employees from the Fourth Engineering Bureau, who had never been here before. Upon entering the KTV room, they appeared slightly nervous; two 12 or 13-year-olds stood behind him and gently tugged at his sleeve.

Su Cen ruffled their hair and gave them a faint smile, seemingly boosting their confidence. They ascended to the second floor where a floor manager welcomed them although he appeared somewhat uncomfortable seeing such a group.

Arriving outside a large private room, Xue Yiyang kicked open the door and shouted loudly, "We've brought the main character here on time!"

This action caused the eyebrows of the floor manager to twitch slightly.

The spacious room was relatively quiet. At this moment, there seemed to be a girl from Class 4 singing an emotional ballad by Sandy Lam. As they entered through the door, everyone's eyes turned toward them.

Immediately, the place erupted into chaos as Mao Xiaoshi and others rushed out to practically carry Su Cen inside. Following that, bottle caps of beers were being popped open one after another; neatly stacked on the table were at least thirty cups, a truly impressive sight.

Du Ting and several other girls approached Su Cen with smiles on their faces, saying, "You really didn't give us any notice before you left, like Tang Wu did. Did you want us to talk behind your back at the flag-raising ceremony next Monday It's a good thing we caught up with you! Anyway, when we were making plans, none of us expected this kind of scene; there’s another private room nearby where Zhang Xizheng is hosting our classmates and seniors. There must be over 60 people here in total, your popularity has really skyrocketed! I heard that even those who don't know you wanted to attend tonight's gathering!"

Du Ting was one of Tang Wu’s closest friends at the No.1 High School in the city; after Tang Wu left, Du Ting had specifically called Su Cen up and asked about the situation. She would frequently call him to ask for any updates on Tang Wu, making Zeng Ke suspect that there must be something else going on between them.

"Is it really so exaggerated" Su Cen was somewhat taken aback by this level of attention.

"It's quite exaggerated." Du Ting nodded professionally. "A lot of students transfer schools, but I've never seen such a big fuss before. We only received the news from Xue Yi Yang today. If you had mentioned it earlier, we might need to add two more rooms."

“Looks like I made a wise decision. These two large packages are already overwhelming me; adding another two would surely cost me an arm and a leg!" Su Can said with a bitter smile. He didn't have such extensive connections as people thought. It seemed that most of the attendees were here to freeload on him.

"Our class is throwing you a farewell party, so naturally, we won’t let you spend money. Mr. Scrooge doesn’t seem to be worried about you running away today! I heard several girls in our grade want to confess their feelings to you today! Be prepared for it!"

Du Ting smiled gracefully after her meticulous grooming; the words she spoke made Su Can’s jaw nearly drop.

“By the way, could you take care of these kids from my unit It would be best not to let them drink alcohol.” Su Can turned around and pointed at several timid teenagers who were still holding onto his sleeves. A few of them were eyeing the beautiful girls in the room with obvious interest, although they seemed quite timid.

“Alright! Don’t worry, little brothers; come over here with me!” Du Ting patted a chubby boy’s face whose nose and mouth were still wet from crying, then guided him to sit among a line of females on the sofa. This immediately sparked an enthusiastic welcome from the girls, who rarely encountered such attention in their daily lives. In elementary or middle school, they had only heard about the beauty at No.1 High School; now following Su Can and Xue Yi Yang had given them a taste of it. Amidst this scene, their hearts felt somewhat lecherous yet happy.

Su Can pulled down his companions, Xue Yi Yang and Liu Rui, "I think I’ll collapse if I drink all this today; you two need to help me out!"

They patted their chests and replied, "Relax! When have we not helped you before Don’t worry about it now. Just remember to share a few drinks with your brothers."

The entire venue quickly livened up due to Su Can's arrival. Du Ting immediately picked up the microphone and announced that she had chosen Karen Mok’s “Double Town Story” for Su Can's farewell, drawing curious glances from those who heard her sing for the first time.

Su Can downed eight or nine glasses of alcohol in quick succession before excusing himself to head over to an adjacent room.

Upon entering, he saw a sea of people. Pushing open the door revealed at least seven large beer boxes stacked behind it. Looking around, one could see everyone cheering and having fun, clearly indicating that these people were more familiar with Xue Yi Yang, Mao Xiaoshi, and others than Su Can.

Li Lumei rushed up, followed by several classmates who were close friends of Chen Ling珊 (Note: The original text contains a name which doesn't have an accurate translation). Li Lumei was near tears. "What should we do When we heard you’re leaving today, we immediately contacted Ling珊 but couldn’t reach her family’s phone number. I’ve asked several classmates and none of them know her father's mobile number; maybe she didn’t bring her pager. This is driving me crazy! She must be somewhere important when it counts!

Su Chen smiled, "It seems Ling Shan went out for a trip around the lake with her family today. She might come home soon or be able to make it here."

"No problem," Su Chen smiled, feeling a bit dejected inside. He seemed to owe her something, but he didn’t know if he could still fulfill that promise.ey started chatting among themselves. Su Can couldn’t hear what they were saying, but when he looked at the man next to Tang Wu and then at her more mature and beautiful appearance compared to before,...
