"Have you had lunch?" Seeing her walking over, Cheng Juan slightly lowered his phone and lowered his gaze. His voice was soft and gentle.

Lu Zhaoying, on the other end of the phone, got a shock.

Master Juan had always spoken to him with either an indifferent tone or a cold and emotionless one. Why was he suddenly speaking so gently and properly?

"Erm... Master Juan..."

"Nope. I just came from the library." Qin Ran was holding on to her black backpack, and her black laptop was stored inside her bag.

There was a lot of research work involved in the Nuclear Engineering course outside of class hours, so Qin Ran would always go to the library with Pan Mingyue once class ended every day.

Lu Zhaoying almost blurted that he couldn't get used to Master Juan suddenly changing his tone, but he immediately swallowed his words after he heard Qin Ran's voice in the background.

"We'll arrive soon. I'm hanging up first." Cheng Juan raised his slightly lowered phone and quickly hung up after one sentence.

Walking seemed like a faster option than driving at this point, as the road to Beijing University was a lot more crowded and packed due to the upcoming holidays.

This was also the same road that led to a smaller pedestrian street filled with eateries, which was also packed with a large and chaotic crowd.

Cheng Juan stood out in the messy crowd due to his tall figure and his chic yet posh aura and stature, while Qin Ran followed quietly behind him.

Due to the large crowd, people would cut across in front of them almost every two steps they took, disrupting their line of vision.

The hollers of the shop owners, loud blasting music, and countless chatter around filled Qin Ran's ears. Her eyebrows unconsciously knitted.

The bustle was coupled with the smell of body sweat and oil from the eateries around.

When yet another burly and stout looking man bumped into her, Cheng Juan stopped in his tracks a few steps ahead of her. He expressionlessly looked at the burly guy, then extended his hand towards Qin Ran. He held on to her hand and said with a neutral yet gentle voice, "Follow me closely."

Cheng Juan's body temperature was always slightly on the colder side, and his hand holding her was no exception.

As Qin Ran followed him through the street of eateries, the crowd started to thin after a while.

"A few of my friends will be there together, and you happen to be on holiday too." His footsteps slowed down, but his voice remained steady. "You may remember one of them. He's called Zhang Xiangge."

Qin Ran nodded and went silent after simply saying, "Alright."

The venue was chosen by Lu Zhaoying and was situated at a hotel near Beijing University in order to accommodate her.

After exiting Beijing University and crossing the street of eateries, it was just a 5-minute straight walk from there onwards.

Zhang Xiangge and the others were all sitting inside the private suite.

There weren't more than six people in the gathering, including Lu Zhaoying and Jiang Dongye, and all of them had met Qin Ran previously at the Heaven Clubhouse. Even though this bunch was known to be party animals, none of them brought their flings along with them, so it was pretty quiet in the suite.
