Half an hour later, the taxi arrived at the entrance of the Conrad Hotel.
After the three got out of the car, Aiyer waved at the lobby: "Hi~ Meina, Youxi."
The two of them automatically ignored Aiyer and walked toward the handsome young man next to Chu Qingning.
????
Boys who like photography must have seen many beautiful women, and because they have seen so many beauties, their standards for women tend to be higher.
When Lin Can first saw Aiyer, he admitted that this exotic girl from the western regions was the most beautiful he had ever seen.
Now, as two more beautiful women with very different styles walked over, Lin Can couldn't help but be impressed.
Tall and slender Meina, with a figure comparable to that of a supermodel, walked with incredible grace, especially those long legs adorned with letters. They were so alluring.
Next to her, Miao Youxi was not the same type as Meina with her tall, long legs. She was around 162 cm, petite, with a youthful, childish face. However, due to her rapid physical development, she possessed a rather impressive bust.
The styles of these two were so distinct.
"Qingning, is this your friend too?"
"Pretty, right? Come, let me introduce you!"
Wow~ What kind of goddess-level girlfriend group is this?
Going on a trip and accidentally entering a girlfriend group is one thing, but it's all top-tier beauties.
One exotic beauty from the west.
One fashionable and sexy long-legged beauty in black stockings.
One charming girl in traditional Hanfu.
One pure girl with a youthful face and an impressive bust.
This trip is totally worth it.
Chu Qingning took Lin Can and walked forward. The girlfriend group successfully gathered.
"Meina, Youxi, this is my brother, Lin Can."
Chu Qingning deliberately emphasized the words "my brother," making her intentions clear, to avoid any teasing.
"Hello, beautiful ladies. I'm Lin Can, Chu Qingning's brother," Lin Can introduced himself with a bright smile while casually placing his hand on Chu Qingning's shoulder.
Since they were already siblings, a casual hand on the shoulder shouldn't be a big deal, right?
If it had been before today, Chu Qingning would have disliked Lin Can touching her like this.
But, well, after the events of last night—sleeping together, cuddling, and touching— their relationship had gotten closer quickly. So, now, a hand on her shoulder didn't feel strange.
Chu Qingning walked over, linking arms with Meina and Youxi, quietly slipping her shoulder from under Lin Can's hand. She gave a mischievous and playful glance, as if saying: "I told you this morning, don't touch me, you naughty brother~"
"Qingning, I have a question for you, answer me honestly, Qingning, Qingning, hey..."
Meina kept chatting, but Chu Qingning didn't hear a word, too busy making eye contact with Lin Can.
Whoa~ Queen Meina's temper flared up.
Ignoring what I'm saying?
Smack~ Meina slapped Chu Qingning's butt from behind, causing Chu Qingning to yelp, "Are you crazy? Why did you hit me?"
Chu Qingning thought, what bad karma did I accumulate to deserve this? This morning my brother slapped my butt, he was so cruel, the handprint is still there. I haven't even asked for a hug yet, and now you hit me too. Has my sweet peach butt turned into everyone's punching bag?
Meina, with a haughty look, said, "I've been talking to you, but you've been making eyes with your brother. You deserve it."
Chu Qingning was really losing her mind.
The authoritative sister image she had just built up in front of Lin Can had been shattered by that slap.
Chu Qingning reluctantly said, "Say it!"
Meina: "You and Lin Can must have known each other for a while, and planned to travel to the western regions together, right? So, yesterday you made up that 'accidental meeting' excuse to fool us?"
Chu Qingning: "No, we really met just yesterday."
Meina: "Really?"
"It's true, we met just yesterday... um..." Lin Can smiled, "Maybe this is fate. I'm really happy to have met Chu Qingning and all you beautiful ladies."
Meina reached out her hand: "Hi, I'm Meina, Chu Qingning's best friend."
"Hello, Meina. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Calling her "sister" is a great way to get closer and the fastest way to fit into the girlfriend group.
I have to say, this girlfriend group, Meina, and those long legs in black stockings, they're really long and straight. Not like those thick, pencil legs but smooth, white, and well-defined legs.
It's a hard test for any boy to resist.
Those long legs are bound to attract the attention of the real "pervs."
Lin Can glanced at them but immediately turned his gaze away. If he stared any longer, he'd be labeled as a perv.
Lin Can then turned his attention to the pure and youthful Miao Youxi, who was standing next to him.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Miao Youxi only nodded at Lin Can, shyly holding onto Meina's hand, not daring to meet Lin Can's eyes.
She may be an experienced woman behind the scenes in the girlfriend group, but in front of unfamiliar men, she's very shy. She gives off an innocent, unbeatable vibe that triggers a strong protective instinct in boys.
Looking at the four very distinct beauties before him, Lin Can suddenly felt like he was the winner of life.
A man with money might not make other men envious.
But if a man walks anywhere surrounded by women that others can't even dream of, the envy and jealousy of others is just the best feeling.
When guests entered and exited the hotel, seeing Lin Can surrounded by four blooming beauties, the envious looks from other men were the most satisfying.
After the introductions, the host, Aiyer, glanced at the time: "It's 11:20. Lin Can, take your and Qingning's luggage to your room. I'll take you to some delicious food."
"You guys wait in the lobby for a bit, I'll go get the room card and drop off the luggage."
Lin Can walked toward the front desk.
"I'm going to check the quality of the room you booked."
Chu Qingning tried to follow but was pulled back by Meina.
"You booked a room here for Lin Can?"
"Yeah, why?"
Meina: "I was waiting for you guys earlier, and I saw the room prices here. The cheapest single room starts at 1500 yuan."
Chu Qingning: "So expensive?"
Miao Youxi: "It's indeed very expensive, there's no cost-effectiveness."
All of them were students from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and though their families were somewhat well-off, they were still college students who had to ask their parents for money. 1500 yuan per night for a hotel room was really too expensive for them.
...
At the front desk.
Lin Can handed over his ID: "Hello, I reserved a room this morning."
"Please wait a moment, sir."
The front desk clerk took the ID, gave a professional smile, and began checking on the computer.
Soon, the clerk looked up with a bigger smile and a warmer tone.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. We've found your reservation for the presidential suite. Would you like to check in now?"
Money is a good thing; once it's revealed, you get treated with extra friendliness. Whether it's genuine or fake, who cares? As long as you spend money, you're treated well, and you get the best service.
"Let's check in."
Lin Can handed over his bank card, anticipating a "poor" travel hit.
...
At this moment, when Lin Can was about to swipe his card, Chu Qingning walked up with her friends.
"Don't check in yet."
Chu Qingning politely addressed the front desk clerk, then pulled Lin Can aside.
"Brother, listen to your sister. Don't stay here."
Lin Can: "You mean, stay next to you again?"
Chu Qingning: "You're being naughty again, aren't you? What I mean is that this five-star hotel is too expensive."
Chu Qingning knew that stopping Lin Can from spending money on a hotel might make him dislike her, and it would be a bit troublesome, since he was spending his own money. Why should she interfere?
But, since they were "siblings" now, a single room at 1500 yuan was too much. She felt it was worth reminding him that it wasn't worth spending the money.
Chu Qingning was a practical and thoughtful girl.
Meina: "Aiyer is a local, she can help you find a more cost-effective budget hotel near her place, and you'll save a lot of money."
Aiyer: "Yeah, yeah."
Miao Youxi, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "It's really not cost-effective."
Having four girls looking out for him warmed Lin Can's heart. Whether or not there was an extra reward was irrelevant at this point.
Lin Can: "Okay, I won't stay. I'll save the money and buy black stockings for you four."
The four girls: ????
Lin Can turned to the front desk with a smile: "Sorry, my sister says the room here isn't cost-effective. Can you cancel my deposit?"
The front desk clerk's smile stiffened for a moment, but she was still polite as she said: "Mr. Lin, the presidential suite you booked, there's no such thing as cost-effectiveness."
