Chapter 27: University hotel party
During my University years, I was busy earning money to support myself. As a result, I had never been to any of the so-called class parties before. In my mind, a University party meant everyone would sit around a table to chat and drink beer. Then, perhaps they would go sing karaoke. After they were all hyped up from singing, they would probably end the night by going to a bar.
So when the taxi stopped at my destination, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The taxi fees alone was almost 100 rmb. In addition, this was probably the city’s five star hotel?!
The splendid majestic neon lights made the entire building look exceptionally radiant. On this dark night, it illuminated the surroundings. I lifted my head and couldn’t help but open my mouth from shock. This type of place…?
“Driver, are you sure this is the address I gave you?” Once again, I gave the driver the invitation card the girl handed to me. “Are you sure you are at the correct location?”
“This is correct. I entered the address you gave me.” The driver pointed to his GPS. “Miss, are you trying to default on a payment?”
“No, that’s not my intention…” I retracted the card from my hand. I had no other choice but to hurriedly pay the taxi driver and exited before any further misunderstanding occur. When I got off, I stood in front of the hotel in disarray. From time to time, luxury vehicles would stop by my side and ladies with evening gowns would step out.
Meanwhile, I was wearing a white blouse with jeans with no makeup. In this group of beautiful women, I stood out like sore thumb. After staring attentively at my invitation card, I finally realized what was going on.
Earlier, I thought it was a bit ridiculous that the University students would create an invitation card for a normal class gathering. But it was actually a formal event….
If there weren’t any crack I could drill myself into, I might as well just go home.
“Bai Silu classmate!” While I was debating whether I should call a taxi to go home or enter the hotel, someone called me by my fake name. I had no idea I was being called until someone touched my back.
“Bai Silu classmate!”
I suddenly turned around. The person that was calling me was Kevin. He looked different from this morning. Currently, he was wearing a casual suit that made him appear informal but not too shabby. He was young but respectable.
Kevin seemed to be astonished by my reaction. His hand hovered in mid air and his smile became stiff, “What’s wrong?”
I asked him instead, “You’re asking me? How come you scared me from behind?”
“I called your name so many times but you didn’t reply…”
After Kevin resumed back to normal, he pursed his lips as he sized me up and down. He had a hand near his mouth to suppress his laughter, “Bai Silu classmate, you sure dress with a lot of personality…”
My face immediately felt like it had been splashed with boiled water. It was scorching hot.
Laugh! Laugh as much as you want! I thought to myself. Tonight, being ridicule was going to be unavoidable. This was simply a forewarning. Relax your heart. Relax your mind. You can do it.
