Ji Mingxia said this, waiting for Yu Ning's reply anxiously.
He really added a lot of drama to himself, even though it happened before the story started, it was still a drama.
The supporting role is disqualified!
If Yu Ning refuses...
Ji Mingxia thought to himself that if Yu Ning rejected him, he would pretend nothing happened and quickly find an excuse to leave. He must not stay there, otherwise everyone would be embarrassed.
"Okay." Yu Ning whispered.
Ji Mingxia heard Yu Ning's voice, nodded, and waited nervously for Yu Ning's answer.
It wasn't until two seconds later that he realized that Yu Ning said "OK".
Ji Mingxia raised his head suddenly.
Yu Ning was taller than Ji Mingxia. He lowered his head and looked at him: "Shall we leave now?"
Ji Mingxia stared at Yu Ning blankly: "Yes!"
I didn't expect that Yu Ning would agree so readily without even asking.
Ji Mingxia was so happy that he pulled Yu Ning out and said, "Zhao Zhuoyue and the others have already left. They will be at the hotel in about an hour. I'll call a taxi now. The two of us will arrive in about three hours, just in time for lunch..."
"Mingxia." Yu Ning was pulled by Ji Mingxia and said helplessly, "I haven't sorted it out yet."
"Package?" Ji Mingxia looked back and then remembered that they all brought backpacks, but Yu Ning didn't prepare anything at all.
Ji Mingxia hurriedly said, "Then I'll help you clean up."
As he spoke, he walked to Yu Ning's desk and put the paper and pen into the drawer.
As soon as he opened it, he saw a stack of homework papers in the drawer, all covered with words, all of which were Yu Ning's notes.
Ji Mingxia saw the words "hotel" and "Lin Siyun" at a glance.
But the next moment, Ji Mingxia's attention was attracted by something else.
Next to the homework paper, there was a stack of cash.
Electronic payment is so advanced these days, and Ji Mingxia hasn't seen cash for a long time. He was surprised and said, "Hey, Yu Ning, you have so many banknotes in your drawer."
Yu Ning was startled, walked forward, took out the cash, and then quickly closed the drawer.
"This is my scholarship for this semester. My teacher gave it to me this morning." Yu Ning said, preparing to put the cash into his backpack.
Seeing this, Ji Mingxia quickly forgot about the homework and the words on the paper. He immediately stopped Yu Ning and said, "You don't need to bring money. I asked you to go. You are helping me, and I can't let you spend money."
Yu Ning has been an orphan since childhood and has always relied on government funding to go to school. After completing nine years of compulsory education, he has been living purely on scholarships.
Although this money is enough for Yu Ning to live on, it is absolutely impossible for him to spend it like an ordinary high school student.
With the increase in consumption levels these days, even many high school students have started to follow the trend and buy luxury goods. Yu Ning, for example, has to budget carefully even for his daily meals, let alone buying trendy brands.
Ji Mingxia had more than enough money in his account to spend, and he had long wanted to lend money to Yu Ning to improve his life.
But considering Yu Ning's self-esteem, he didn't dare to speak.
Now that he finally had a perfect excuse, Ji Mingxia actively persuaded him, "If you're worried about spending money, just stay with me in the hotel and eat with me. We'll be gone for a few days and come back after we find out about the ring."
Ji Mingxia is usually a soft-hearted person and is easy to talk to about things, but this time he was tough and Yu Ning couldn't persuade him. Under Ji Mingxia's insistence, Yu Ning had to take out the cash and put it back in the drawer.
Opening the drawer again, Yu Ning's eyes fell on the homework papers in the drawer.
These are the notes he made these days.
No one expected that his relationship with Ji Mingxia would progress by leaps and bounds in the last few days of senior year, and they would even become deskmates.
However, they only sat at the same table for two days.
With the approach of the college entrance examination and the graduation of senior high school, everyone returned home after the holiday, and Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were about to be separated completely.
Even Zhao Zhuoyue and others spent more time with Ji Mingxia than he did.
They had agreed on a vacation a month ago, booked a hotel, and were going on a vacation together.
When Yu Ning heard it at first, he felt that it had nothing to do with him.
But now, he regretted it.
So he listed all the things that happened in recent days, looking for a breakthrough point.
At this time, the homework paper listed in detail Ji Mingxia's vacation plan, Lin Siyun's incident a few days ago, and the final destination of all things -
The wedding rings in Li Youzi's hand.
Li Youzi is an internet celebrity who frequently updates her photos on Weibo.
She has worn that ring for many years, and it has become Li Youzi's iconic item. As long as you follow Lin Siyun's clues and look for it carefully, if you have obtained the ring, you can almost easily identify Li Youzi.
It just so happened that the scenic area hotel where Li Youzi was planning to relax was the same one that Ji Mingxia and the others were staying at.
Everything formed a perfect closed loop. From now on, Yu Ning only had to wait patiently for Ji Mingxia to find clues, and he would definitely invite him.
The only thing he needs to arrange is his own money problem.
That hotel is not cheap...
The scholarship for his senior year of high school should have been given to him at the graduation ceremony, but Yu Ning went out of his way to ask his teacher to get it in advance. For this purpose, he even promised that if he was the top scorer after the college entrance examination results came out, he would personally promote his alma mater.
Yu Ning was busy for two days on this matter, during which time he also made all kinds of worst-case plans.
Fortunately, he got the money this morning, and Ji Mingxia finally invited him.
"Yu Ning, are you ready? I have contacted the driver and he is ready to come." Ji Mingxia said to Yu Ning.
"Okay." Yu Ning said. Although he promised Ji Mingxia not to bring any money, he finally took the cash when Ji Mingxia was not paying attention.
With a "click" sound, the drawer was closed and locked, and Yu Ning's shameful thoughts were completely hidden in the darkness.
A three-hour journey is neither long nor short.
Ji Mingxia thought that Yu Ning was just like him and had never paid attention to Li Youzi at all, so he quickly went to the car with Yu Ning to review Li Youzi's personal information.
Just as Zhao Zhuoyue said before, Li Youzi’s real name is Li You, and she and Lin Siyun are best friends who grew up together.
Unlike Lin Siyun, who has undergone tremendous changes in three years, Li You has been an outstanding person since childhood.
Since kindergarten, Li You has often performed on stage on behalf of the school. In elementary school, she even participated in some TV dramas. In junior high school, Li You became the school belle.
Not only is Li You good-looking, but he also has very good academic performance. He was already a well-known figure in the entire county during high school.
As Lin Siyun also changed, the two school beauties walking on the street together were so pleasing to the eyes and attracted countless attention. There were even their CP fans on the Internet.
Li You is one grade higher than Lin Siyun and was the first to be admitted to university. Lin Siyun also set a goal early on. She wanted to be admitted to Li You's university. Although they have different majors, the two can complement each other.
These two people were about to become a legend in our school, but everything came to an abrupt end not long ago.
Lin Siyun's tragic death hit Li You hard, and even his mental state began to suffer.
Her friends were very worried about her mental health and worried that Li You would do something stupid, so they took Li You out to travel during the university holidays.
Ji Mingxia opened Li You’s Weibo and showed Yu Ning Li You’s latest update.
The scenery here is beautiful. I am fine. My phone is temporarily turned off. See you in a few days.jpg
Positioning: Nanzhou City·Forest Hot Spring Valley·Quanzhuang Resort
Ji Mingxia said: "Mysterious items are divided into several types, there are ordinary types, there are evolved types, and there are all kinds of strange and bizarre ones... If this ring was just one, it would be nothing, but I didn't expect that it was a pair of rings."
"Will the effect of one plus one being greater than two be achieved by the couple's rings?" Yu Ning asked.
Ji Mingxia nodded: "Normally speaking, couple rings are special mysterious items, so they must have unique abilities... But I'm not sure. I've never heard of them coming in pairs before."
In the original plot, this pair of rings never appeared at all, and Ji Mingxia had no idea about the abilities of the two rings.
"After we get to the hotel, let's familiarize ourselves with the environment and find Li You as soon as possible. I can pretend to be a fan of Li You and ask Zhao Zhuoyue and the others to help me keep an eye out for her. We'll see her first and talk later." Ji Mingxia said, "It would be best to convince her to give up the ring before anything happens to her."
Along the way, the two chatted from time to time and refreshed their mobile phone messages. On normal days, Ji Mingxia would definitely feel dizzy, nauseous and uncomfortable after sitting in the car for such a long time.
But the strange thing was that after sitting with Yu Ning all the way, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and even felt that three hours passed in a flash.
Quanzhuang Resort, located in the Forest Hot Spring Valley of Nanzhou City, is a recently developed five-star scenic hotel.
The hotel is built on the edge of the forest, covers a large area, and is designed in the style of a Chinese garden. Its internal structure incorporates local ethnic characteristics. It can be said that the hotel itself is one of the important landscapes of the scenic area.
Before Ji Mingxia came, he had only seen pictures on the Internet. There are too many photo scams these days, and people have become numb after looking at them for so long.
It was not until the car arrived in front of the hotel that Ji Mingxia realized that it was no wonder that so many internet celebrities recommended it and the internet was flooded with publicity. It could be seen from the buildings that the scenic spot was indeed wealthy.
After the car was parked, the doorman pushed the luggage away, and Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, led by the staff, entered the courtyard of the reception.
Zhao Zhuoyue and others arrived at the hotel an hour ago and have now entered their rooms to rest.
Ji Mingxia first used his ID card to scan the reserved room information, and then said to the hotel front desk staff: "Hello, I need to add one person to the room I booked. Can you help upgrade the single room to a double room?"
"Upgrade? Okay, please wait a moment." The staff said while checking the hotel's check-in information.
Ji Mingxia initially thought that upgrading a single room to a double room should not be difficult, but when he looked around, he suddenly became a little uncertain.
It is the summer vacation period and this scenic spot is a popular holiday destination on the Internet. Although this hotel covers a large area, it is in the form of a villa, and not many people can actually stay in each area.
In case the upgrade fails, he and Yu Ning will sleep in a single room together, but in the single room... there is only one bed.
At this moment, the staff said to Ji Mingxia: "Hello, I'm sorry, the ordinary double room is currently fully booked, and the single room cannot be upgraded for the time being."
As soon as the staff member finished speaking, not only Ji Mingxia looked over, but even Yu Ning beside him turned his head unconsciously.
Ji Mingxia didn't expect that his premonition would come true, and his face changed slightly.
He took the initiative to pull Yu Ning over and said he would provide food and accommodation.
It's acceptable for two people to live in a double room together, but it's too shabby for them to live in a single room together.
Ji Mingxia's sleeping posture is not very good. After falling asleep, he will roll around in various ways on the bed. It's okay for one person to sleep, but for two people... I can't imagine the scene of Yu Ning being pressed down by him to sleep_(:3∠)_
Ji Mingxia quickly asked, "If there are no ordinary double rooms, are there any other double rooms? Business rooms, executive rooms, etc. will do."
"There are only presidential suites, family suites, children's rooms, and special offer king-size rooms," said the staff.
The hotel is one of the best in the country in terms of both location and facilities. The single room Ji Mingxia booked was relatively cheap, costing one thousand yuan for one night. After using his student ID, he got a 20% discount.
The presidential suite is needless to say. The family suite has three rooms, including a living room and a private balcony, and its price is three times that of a single room. As for the children's room and the special king-size room... in fact, there is no difference between them and single rooms.
Ji Mingxia felt a little worried when he heard this.
He was hesitant about whether to bite the bullet and book the family suite, but before paying, it would be best to get Yu Ning out of the way first...
Just then, another staff member came over and whispered something.
The next moment, the front desk staff said to Ji Mingxia: "If you specifically need a double room, we have another type of double room here, which is a limited summer double room provided to VIP customers according to the resort's activities.
"There is currently a limited double room available. We can upgrade you to this room, but the price of this double room will be slightly more expensive than a regular double room."
No matter how expensive it is, it won’t be more expensive than a family suite. Ji Mingxia didn’t hesitate and said, “Let’s take this. Thank you.”
"Minors are not allowed to stay in the limited double rooms in summer. You must be over 18 years old. Please show your ID card." said the staff.
Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had both finished the college entrance examination and were already over 18 years old, so they didn't think much about it. After submitting their ID cards and completing the formalities, they walked towards the room together.
After passing through the reception courtyard, you will see the tranquil lake view. The Wobo Floating Bridge serves as a transition, connecting the reception hall and the hotel courtyard entrance.
Ji Mingxia booked a single room with Zhao Zhuoyue and others, and they originally lived in the same area.
However, the room was temporarily changed to a double room limited to VIPs, and the living position was immediately changed, and suddenly I was living in two completely opposite directions from Zhao Zhuoyue and the others.
Although the location was changed, I still managed to check in successfully.
Under the guidance of the staff, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning found their rooms.
After all, it is a VIP room. Not only is the room location more private, but the view outside the window is also more pleasant than that of an ordinary room. Standing by the window, you can see a colorful corner of the primeval forest in the distance.
The interior layout is obviously different from that of an ordinary double room. It is not only more refined, but also...
There were many more things that Ji Mingxia didn’t quite understand.
“Buy Coke? What does that mean…” Ji Mingxia looked at the three large characters carefully embroidered on the tissue box and said curiously.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ning glanced at the tissue box, then quickly looked away after a moment.
Ji Mingxia was just complaining casually, not really wanting to get an answer. After putting down the tissue box, Ji Mingxia looked at the two large beds in the room again.
Although it was a double bed of 1.5 meters, it looked much larger than an ordinary bed. Ji Mingxia looked around and finally found a few buttons on the edge of the bed.
"This bed seems to have a sensing function. Is it because I pressed the mattress to detect my heart rate? It's worthy of being a VIP, and it's quite high-end." Ji Mingxia exclaimed.
Yu Ning took another look, and after a few seconds, he looked away again with a little awkwardness, and simply turned around and packed his backpack.
Ji Mingxia didn't know what those buttons were for, and he didn't dare to press them randomly. Seeing Yu Ning starting to pack his backpack, he walked towards the bathroom and washed his hands.
The restroom is next to the bathroom and is divided into an area. The layout is clear and the overall structure is clean and refreshing. There is a large bouquet of bright red roses carefully placed on the sink, exuding bursts of fragrance.
Ji Mingxia sniffed it and felt that it was not the scent of flowers, but the scent of sweet perfume emanating from a heart-shaped card in the bouquet.
He couldn't help but reach out, pull out the card and take a look at it.
There was a simple sketch of two people kissing printed on the card, with two lip prints next to them. Although they were painted on, they were obviously not lip prints made with lipstick, but rather had a wet effect, which looked sticky, sweet and romantic.
Although the layout of the entire room looked nice, Ji Mingxia always felt that something was odd.
After he finished washing his hands, he casually opened the bathroom cabinet and took a look. When he saw what was inside, Ji Mingxia was shocked and took a step back.
“This… what the hell!!”
In the cabinet next to the bathroom, in addition to small samples of various toiletries, there were also countless special items and small toys placed in the most conspicuous position on the top layer.
The hotel was very considerate and placed the men's and women's items separately, and in the middle was a thoughtful little card with a line of words written on it.
The love toys in the cabinet are provided by the hotel and can be used free of charge. I wish you a happy vacation.
It was the first time that Ji Mingxia came into contact with this thing. He was caught off guard and was shocked. His face turned red all of a sudden.
Just at this moment, Yu Ning heard Ji Mingxia's voice and walked in quickly: "Are you okay?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingxia jumped up from where he was standing. He hurriedly moved all these things out, quickly threw them into the trash can and covered it.
The moment Yu Ning came in, Ji Mingxia turned around quickly and looked at him calmly: "No, nothing."
If Zhao Zhuoyue, Chen Zhen and others were living with him at this moment, Ji Mingxia would have already made a fuss and dragged them over to watch.
We are all adolescent boys and are actually full of curiosity about these aspects. There is nothing to be ashamed of in watching and discussing them together.
But Yu Ning is different.
In the original novel, Yu Ning and Pei Yuan had known each other for a long time and had been through countless ups and downs. If it were someone else, they would have fallen in love with each other long ago, but Yu Ning just didn't figure it out and didn't realize that he liked Pei Yuan at all.
After much persuasion from Ji Mingxia, his love mentor, Yu Ning finally came to a correct understanding of his sexual orientation, but he was still very passive in his relationships.
At that time, someone in the comment section complained that Yu Ning had exchanged the love emotional intelligence of ten lifetimes for the IQ of this lifetime.
In order to ensure that Yu Ning's love life would be smooth, everyone was very concerned.
If Yu Ning had met Pei Yuan at this moment, Ji Mingxia, as a love mentor, would definitely bite the bullet and teach Yu Ning even if he had no experience.
But not only has Yu Ning not met Pei Yuan yet, he hasn't even gone to college yet.
I am ignorant and know nothing. I am as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
Ji Mingxia will be living with Yu Ning for several days yet, so he couldn't bear to let Yu Ning see all this mess, it would simply be a bad influence on the child.
Ji Mingxia's acting was really poor in a hurry. Yu Ning looked at him with some confusion, obviously not believing that nothing had happened.
Ji Mingxia had no choice but to add: "I just found that... this bathroom is well decorated. Look at the mirrors on both sides. They are so clear... I just suddenly saw myself in the mirror and was quite surprised..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ning looked around.
The front and back walls of the bathroom are paved with white marble, decorated with shell and brass carvings, and there are two oversized mirrors on the left and right.
In the center of the mirror is the shower and the bathtub.
Yu Ning's eyes stayed on the double luxury bathtub for a few seconds. He didn't know what he was thinking about. His jaw tightened slightly and he restrainedly looked away. After a while, he said, "It's really good."
