CHAPTER 882: CHAPTER 894: I’LL COME WATCH YOUR REHEARSAL NEXT TIME!

Yan Siyuan and Ye Qingcao have planned to visit Beijing during the New Year’s holiday.

As hosts, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi definitely need to make sure their itinerary is well-organized.

After chatting with Yan Siyuan, Huo Feng immediately started looking for hotels and putting together a simple plan to take Yan Siyuan and Ye Qingcao around Beijing for a few days.

After all, with New Year’s being a national holiday, the tourist spots are obviously off-limits.

That’s because during holidays, and even weekends, many tourist attractions in Beijing are packed!

Huo Feng planned to take the two of them to eat, drink, and have fun all over, maybe catch a play...

And so their three days would pass!

Then...

Just as Huo Feng was preparing the itinerary, he received a message in the Musical Club’s WeChat group.

How timely!

The end-of-semester performance of "Phantom of the Opera" had been scheduled for the afternoon of New Year’s Day!

The club planned to open all theater tickets to the public, therefore no longer giving out tickets to students from the same school, all to seize traffic and make money from ticket sales on New Year’s Day!

As soon as that message was posted in the Musical Club’s WeChat group, the club members were all buzzing with excitement!

Because a large-scale performance like this meant a hefty amount of ticket revenue!

Once the ticket money was in hand, it would all go towards the club’s funds!

Afterwards, even better club events could be arranged, which made the students very happy!

The performance hadn’t even started yet, and members in the group were already discussing what kind of club activities to have?

You Xinran took the lead in the group, asking if people preferred the club to organize a trip lasting a few days and nights, or just a simple dinner and karaoke session, or perhaps other ideas?

Everyone could give their suggestions.

Amid the lively conversation in the group, Huo Feng popped in with a suggestion: [Can we bring guests to the event?]

With that question, several club members paid close attention to his suggestion.

Because some students hoped to bring along their boyfriends or girlfriends to join the trip lasting a few days and nights.

A hot spring trip, for example, would be ideal!

These little outings are perfect for couples.

But Huo Feng’s suggestion was rejected.

And it was directly rejected by You Xinran: [This is a club activity, and all the club’s funds come from the hard-earned money from the performance. I think it’s better not to allow outsiders in, as it would be unfair to those not bringing anyone along.]

You Xinran holds a high position in the Musical Club, so naturally, her words carry weight.

Seeing You Xinran seriously reject his idea, Huo Feng didn’t argue back; instead, he made another suggestion: [If it’s an overnight trip, I’d like to bring my girlfriend. You all plan the itinerary, and I’ll cover her share of the expenses without using club funds, how about that?]

Once Huo Feng said that, You Xinran couldn’t find anything to counter him with.

A while later, she softened her stance: [It’s fine if you want to pay for it yourself. But my opinion is that it’s better not to include outsiders in club activities. After all, she’s not familiar with others in our club, and we’re sure to have group activities and even interactive games, and I fear she might not fit in.]

You Xinran’s tone was always quite formal and official, giving the impression that her words were from a neutral standpoint.

But, in fact, behind her words, she had her own thoughts.

In the group, Wu Di and Lin Cong were silently observing, quietly seeing through You Xinran’s intentions, but said nothing.

Huo Feng, however, was still very straightforward, candidly saying: [You guys decide on the activities. If it’s a little trip, I’ll join if the timing works. But I’ll bring my girlfriend, and I’ll cover her expenses. That’s all, I’m out.]

After that, Huo Feng didn’t intend to stay around and chat in the group.

But, he privately received a script from Lin Cong...

The script for the second male lead in "Phantom of the Opera."

Huo Feng merely saved the file, not opening it.

Afterwards, he added to Yan Siyuan and Ye Qingcao’s three-day itinerary in Beijing: [Watch Huo Feng’s performance.]

It turned out Yan Siyuan and Ye Qingcao were quite lucky!

Coming to Beijing at a random time and getting the chance to see Huo Feng perform on stage for them! It’s quite a treat for the two of them!

So, after Huo Feng quickly planned the itinerary, he shared the three-day Beijing trip plan along with the news of Yan Siyuan and Ye Qingcao coming to Beijing in a WeChat message to Pu Sangzhi.

...

At that time, Pu Sangzhi in another dorm was busy making her 3D architectural model on her computer.

She planned to first model the structure in her mind using 3D techniques, and then use the materials at hand to complete the model.

She was experimenting with wood, stainless steel, concrete, and even silicone to see what advantages and disadvantages each type of building model would have.

In the dorm, only Pu Sangzhi was focused on her work.

The other three girls were lazily lying in bed, either scrolling through Douyin, browsing Zhihu, or binge-watching dramas...

Students who haven’t yet reached exam weeks typically look like this.

Only Pu Sangzhi always maintained her discipline, always on the path of studying...

Suddenly, she received a WeChat message from Huo Feng.

She learned that Yan Siyuan and Ye Qingcao would be coming to Beijing for New Year’s! That was great news!

The moment Pu Sangzhi saw the message, she smiled...

She immediately replied to Huo Feng’s message: [Have they really decided to come? Are they coming to play, or to find some business with you?]

Last time when Huo Feng went to Hangzhou with her, he spent two days doing business with Yan Siyuan.

So Pu Sangzhi was wondering if Yan Siyuan was coming this time to expand their business, or purely for tourism?

Obviously, for someone as calculated as Yan Siyuan... he definitely plans to give Huo Feng a hard time!

Huo Feng told Pu Sangzhi: [They’re here purely for tourism. Plus, we need to cover food, drinks, accommodation, and entertainment. Honey, all the money is with you now. How to save up on expenses for these few days is totally up to you!]

Seeing Huo Feng’s message, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but laugh.

She promptly replied to Huo Feng: [Speaking of which, they’re coming for New Year’s, should we expect to pay more for the hotel during New Year’s period?]

Huo Feng: [Honey, you’re amazing, you thought the same as me! My first thought was also that hotels charge more during New Year’s! Don’t you think that’s a rip-off by Yan Ji!]

Pu Sangzhi: [That’s so like Yan Siyuan. He’s always been so stingy...]

Huo Feng: [Honey, let’s be a little stingy too! Don’t act too generous. I looked at several hotels, all reasonably priced or on the lower side. I’ll send them to you, and you can decide which one to book. The money’s with you~]

Seeing Huo Feng’s phrase ’The money’s with you’, Pu Sangzhi suddenly felt he seemed so pitiful.

She laughed again: [Do you want me to give you the money first? Wouldn’t it seem stingy if I pay for those days and Yan Siyuan thinks so?]

Huo Feng: [He wouldn’t! He’d only think I’m a great man and maybe take me as a role model! Maybe he’d learn to be more generous in the future!]

Pu Sangzhi: [I think he might never be generous with us, but he’d be generous to Xiaocao.]

After all, they had known each other for years...

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng really understood Yan Siyuan.

Even though Yan Siyuan is a little stingy, aside from that he really doesn’t have any other flaws.

When help is needed, Yan Siyuan will lend a hand. If Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi ask him for something, he usually doesn’t refuse, and even is someone easy to reach out to.

It’s a kind of superficial friendship...

Anyway, both Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng are very welcoming to Yan Siyuan and Ye Qingcao coming over.

Afterwards, Pu Sangzhi briefly looked through the itinerary Huo Feng made for the two of them.

In that itinerary, she also noticed Huo Feng had a performance on New Year’s Day!

With just about half a month to go until New Year’s Day...

Pu Sangzhi was a bit nervous for him.

She asked Huo Feng: [There’s only half a month left until New Year’s, are you starting rehearsals? Will the rehearsals be tight from now on?]

Huo Feng quickly replied: [Smart, honey. I might have to rehearse every evening starting tomorrow! After that, you’ll have to study by yourself in the evenings, poor you~]

Pu Sangzhi asked: [Who’s poor?]

Huo Feng: [Me, I’m poor~ I can’t see my honey~]

Pu Sangzhi slightly pursed her lips: [If I have time, I’ll come find you in the evening to watch you practice.]

Huo Feng straightforwardly replied: [Sure, honey. I probably need to practice every night from tomorrow on. After that, you’ll have to study by yourself in the evenings, poor thing~]

Finally, Huo Feng sent: [The activity you all can discuss. If it’s a small trip, I’ll see if the time fits and I’ll join you. But I’m taking my girlfriend, I’ll pay for her, and I’m done with this.]
