CHAPTER 1466: CHAPTER 1465: CHANGING ACCOMMODATION

When Song Ying opened her eyes and woke up, what she didn’t expect was that she had fallen asleep leaning on Ye Qiu’s shoulder, which was comfortable and gave her a sense of security.

However, she felt this bastard was secretly taking advantage of her.

Moreover, with classmates watching on the bus, she felt a bit embarrassed.

"Why did you switch seats?"

"I saw you weren’t sleeping comfortably, so I voluntarily switched with Tiantian."

Song Ying didn’t know what to say.

The bus drove into Lianyungang City, heading to the hotel pre-booked by the class officers.

Arriving outside the hotel, since it wasn’t the tourist season—mid-summer or holidays are the peak—the tourism waned after the Spring Festival.

In the off-season, there’s no worry about finding a place to stay.

After the classmates got off, they went to collect their belongings.

Since they booked double and triple rooms, class officers had arranged beforehand who would share a room, now it was just about ID registration and verification.

Ye Qiu had a room to himself while Song Ying and Xia Tiantian shared one, so they could watch over Tiantian.

"Class monitor, this is an ordinary hotel, costing a little over a hundred per night. A four-star hotel would be at least four or five hundred per night."

The class officers tried to save expenses, though Ye Qiu was paying, it wasn’t feasible to spend all the funds at once.

"You should’ve said to go to a four-star hotel directly, but staying just two nights isn’t much of a problem."

Ye Qiu said.

He’s never stayed in such an ordinary hotel, it’s definitely not as comfortable as a four-star or five-star hotel.

But here, you could hear the sound of waves, and the sea breeze was nice enough.

The female clerk here began confirming the pre-booked rooms, and after registering the students’ IDs, she handed out room cards for them to go up.

"Gather downstairs in half an hour for dinner."

Ye Qiu said.

"I’ll treat for dinner later, seafood feast."

If the class officers arranged it, it might just be regular stir-fried dishes.

Hearing about the seafood feast naturally excited the classmates.

Ye Qiu originally wanted to share a room with Song Ying, but knowing it wasn’t possible with so many classmates watching, and now that Xia Tian had joined too.

Ye Qiu helped Xia Tiantian and Song Ying with their luggage upstairs, letting them stay next to his room, in case anything happened.

After entering, Song Ying and Xia Tiantian realized the room was extremely basic, around ten square meters, with a double bed and a wall-mounted TV, but no computer.

Xia Tiantian and Song Ying had never stayed in such a low-end hotel.

However, for those classmates, the accommodation arranged by the class officers, stressing budget-friendly choices, was already decent.

After dropping off the things, Ye Qiu said, "Make do for now, next time I’ll arrange the trip. The class officers saved money for me, but skipping one bottle of Viscount Red Wine would get all these classmates a good stay."

Song Ying and Xia Tiantian let Ye Qiu leave the suitcase there, but just as Ye Qiu was about to leave, he sensed something odd about the hotel, took a closer look, and found several hidden cameras.

These might not have been set up by the hotel, possibly by someone else.

Song Ying was shocked and asked Ye Qiu, "What are these things?"

"Those are hidden cameras, clearly placed here by someone. If you shower and change, you’d be filmed and uploaded online."

Song Ying and Xia Tiantian were startled, looking rather upset.

Initially feeling uneasy, they never expected this to happen.

How could they continue staying here?

"Ye Qiu, why don’t we find another place to stay?"

"We just registered, but I’ll go tell the receptionist downstairs."

Ye Qiu exited the room, heading downstairs to the front desk, where the female receptionist looked surprised seeing Ye Qiu holding those items. Ye Qiu said, "I found these in the room, do you know what they are?"

"They’re hidden cameras! How come there are so many?"

"Sir, I’ll call and check this for you immediately."

"No need, my friends aren’t used to staying here."

Other classmates didn’t know, and Ye Qiu called the class officers over, saying, "We need to change places, this won’t do."

The manager noticed the issue and quickly came over to explain and apologize, since it was a big group.

"That money must be refunded, how much is up to you." Ye Qiu said coldly.

Originally, he thought the environment was just okay, but with so much surveillance equipment, who would dare sleep here at night?

After telling the class officers to gather the classmates, Ye Qiu went to help Tiantian and Song Ying with their things.

Once downstairs, they got back on the bus.

The bus driver was puzzled why they got on and off so quickly.

"Go to another one, we’re heading to a four-star hotel."

"That would cost quite a bit!" The bus driver thought as students who needed to ask their parents for living expenses, they weren’t likely to have much money for a trip, didn’t expect them to go to a four-star hotel. Two nights could easily run a thousand per person.

With over thirty students, it’s nearly twenty thousand altogether.

Hearing Ye Qiu’s decision, the class officers didn’t hesitate, getting at least two-thirds of the payment refunded from the hotel.

The manager could only refund, assuming these poor students couldn’t afford any other hotel. But with so many hidden cameras, especially those tiny needle-like ones, the manager and security were truly amazed.

Now on the bus, they had the driver head to an international hotel, a four-star place.

"Class monitor, going to a big hotel might exceed the budget."

The class officers felt embarrassed, unexpected that the place they arranged turned out like this.

"It’s fine, I’ll cover the cost."

Arriving at the international hotel, as they got off the bus, the hostess came out to greet them. Indeed, on the ground floor, the lavish interior stood in stark contrast to the tiny, cramped previous hotel.

"Are there any rooms available?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"Yes, plenty." The hotel’s lobby manager quickly replied.

"Arrange rooms for us, please." Ye Qiu didn’t ask about prices; at a four-star, it would be four to five hundred at most, the more expensive ones six to eight hundred a night.

Ye Qiu booked himself a separate suite, had Xia Tiantian and Song Ying share a room, male classmates paired with other males, and so on.

He took IDs for registration, got the room cards, letting them bring their belongings upstairs.

Finally, Ye Qiu paid the deposit, roughly two thousand for two nights, that was indeed the rate.

But on a fun trip, they didn’t want to deal with hidden cameras and surveillance incidents.

After paying by card, Ye Qiu, Song Ying, and Xia Tiantian took the elevator up, reaching the ninth floor. Entering the suite, it was a completely different world from before.
