Is my roommate a caged bird? I'm stealing her away.

Zhou Suisui listened to the busy tone, holding her phone in a daze. He told her to wait where she was? What did that mean? Was he going to come over?

Liu Weiwei had just sent Tang Tang the video of that epic battle and was contentedly putting away her phone when she turned around and saw Zhou Suisui's strange expression. She immediately leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Who was it?"

"Chen Boxu, we missed our appointment time," Zhou Suisui added in a low voice. "He told me to wait where I am. I guess... he's coming over."

Liu Weiwei's eyes widened instantly, and she gasped, "Holy crap!"

Chen Boxu is coming? Here? Liu Weiwei quickly glanced around the private room. Jin Lulu had stopped crying, and the class monitor was frantically whispering something to the waiter.

Several boys were helping to right the fallen chair, while more people huddled together whispering and glancing around.

"It's okay, I often see this kind of thing in novels," Zhou Suisui said softly, her mind a mess.

She didn't know how Chen Boxu would come to pick her up... Would he just slam the door open and say, "I've come to take my woman home," or "Sui Sui, come with me, this place isn't good enough for you"... How ridiculous.

The squad leader seemed to have finally finished negotiating with the hotel. He wiped the sweat from his brow, turned around, and forced a smile, trying to regain morale.

"Um... everyone, I'm so sorry, this... this was really an accident. Is everyone alright? I think it's about time, so... how about we call it a day?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the messy floor, spilled drinks, broken glasses, and a tablecloth kicked askew. These would obviously cost extra.

"Um... Mr. Li just said he'd cover the expenses. But..." The class monitor rubbed his hands together, his eyes darting between the male students helping to tidy up and the female students who clearly didn't want to move.

"The hotel also needs our cooperation in cleaning up the scene, otherwise... it might be difficult to settle accounts. Everyone, could you... lend a hand? Just a simple cleanup, gather up the trash? Mr. Li will remember everyone's help."

As soon as he finished speaking, several boys who hadn't helped earlier frowned and got up to help tidy up.

Several girls exchanged glances, hesitant. One of them, with curly hair, glanced at Zhou Suisui, pursed her lips, and spoke in a sarcastic tone:

"Class monitor, of course we're willing to help; classmates should help each other. But some people do nothing and yet want to reap the benefits."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted meaningfully toward Zhou Suisui and Liu Weiwei, especially noting their clean-cut appearance and obvious detachment from the situation.

Upon hearing this, Liu Weiwei's temper flared. She wasn't one to swallow her anger, and immediately let out a cold laugh, her voice not quiet:

"Zhang Man, who cares about that little bit of money? I know what you're thinking, so stop with your moral blackmail."

"Liu Weiwei, what do you mean?" Zhang Man's face darkened.

"The literal meaning." Liu Weiwei crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin.

Seeing the atmosphere was about to turn sour again, the class monitor quickly tried to smooth things over, his smile becoming even more forced: "Hey, hey, stop arguing, stop arguing, we're all classmates, it's just a small thing... It's alright, it's alright, you guys don't need to all get involved, we boys can handle it, you girls have all been frightened, take a rest, take a rest..."

As he spoke, he winked at the boys next to him while bending down to pick up the broken glass from the ground, adopting a very humble posture.

Zhou Suisui didn't participate in this minor argument; her attention was drawn to He Li.

He Li had already tidied her hair and dress, and a polite smile had returned to her face.

Holding a wine glass, he walked toward two other male classmates in the private room who looked to be from well-off families and were standing aside, frowning and observing.

She said something with a smile, her voice soft. The two boys were taken aback for a moment, then gave her polite smiles and started chatting with her, but the distance in their eyes was obvious.

"Stop looking." Liu Weiwei followed Zhou Suisui's gaze, couldn't help but chuckle, and whispered in her ear, "This is all her own choice. Those two families run a small business, they have a good eye for things."

Zhou Suisui didn't reply, just watched quietly. It was quite sad to see her former classmate, with whom she used to sit in the same classroom, become like this.

Time ticked by. The class monitor and a few boys managed to tidy up the mess in the private room, but the awkward, stagnant atmosphere lingered.

Most people didn't leave immediately, seemingly waiting to see what would happen next, or... they just didn't want to be the first to leave.

Like a walking corpse, Jin Lulu was half-supported and half-carried by Zhang Heng, her head down, as she quickly walked out of the private room. When she passed Zhou Suisui, she glared at them fiercely.

Liu Weiwei immediately glared back, leaving Zhou Suisui speechless.

It wasn't them who embarrassed her. The person in charge doesn't have the ability to retaliate, so they only pick on the weak.

After Jin Lulu left, Zhou Suisui kept glancing at her phone and then at the door. It was already 9:30.

I'm so hungry... I was so busy feeding my eyes just now.

Just then, the half-closed door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.

Two men walked in one after the other. The man in front was tall and had long legs. He was wearing an expensive shirt and dark trousers, with the cuffs rolled up, and a clearly valuable watch on his wrist.

His face was stern, his nose was high and straight, and his amber eyes swept across the private room indifferently. He showed no emotion, but the previously noisy space instantly quieted down.

This is a preface by Chen Bo.

Half a step behind him was a man in a light gray casual suit, a cynical smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold as he casually surveyed the situation in the private room. It was Cheng Fang.

Zhou Suisui's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively clenched her fingers. Why was Cheng Fang here too?

All eyes turned to the two striking men at the door.

Especially Chen Boxu, his sophisticated attire, cold and aloof demeanor, and the obviously extraordinary Cheng Fang following behind him, all silently revealed something that was difficult for their social class to reach.

He Li's eyes lit up instantly. Almost instinctively, she straightened her back and adjusted her skirt.

She quickly put on the most gentle and proper smile, her gaze fixed intently on the doorway, especially on... Chen Boxu.

The squad leader was also stunned. He obviously didn't recognize the newcomer, but judging from the manner of the visitor, he knew that this person was no ordinary person.

He quickly stepped forward, a smile even warmer and more cautious than before: "Gentlemen, may I ask who you are...?"

Chen Boxu's gaze swept past the class monitor without lingering, landing directly on Zhou Suisui, who was standing against the wall.

His gaze lingered on her face for two seconds, then he spoke softly, his voice low but clear enough to fill the quiet private room:

"Zhou Suisui," he called her name, his tone flat, "come here."
