Chapter 010: Confrontation

Meng Xiaobai smiled silently, casting an appreciative glance at the three young men, before turning his gaze back to the Japanese individuals. He noticed a tall young man, dressed in a white sports outfit, who appeared refreshingly handsome. He approached the service desk, bowed politely, and spoke in fluent Mandarin to the young lady standing behind the counter: "Excuse me, Miss, my name is Watanabe Seijun, please allow me to speak with you."

Huo Qingfeng and Xiao Jiu burst into strange laughter, glancing at the two women as they laughed. The two women realized that the remarks were directed at them, and they shot an annoyed glare in return, haughtily lifting their heads and swaying their hips as they walked out the door, leaving behind the words: "Rogue"

He intended to speak very loudly, and the attention of all his colleagues suddenly focused on Meng Xiaobai. Ye Feixue looked at him with a somewhat strange expression, causing Meng Xiaobai to flush red in the face, unsure of how to explain himself

He yawned, just as he was about to change his position and continue sleeping, when he suddenly noticed the team leader walking in from outside. Meng Xiaobai was overjoyed and quickly approached, saying: "Team leader, I am in room 716, from the Tiedong Branch."

The three university students clearly heard their conversation. Huo Qingfeng smiled at them and suddenly shouted loudly to the short old Jiang: "That purebred little white dog is indeed very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is still a dog. I personally dislike dogs very much, and to insult them, I usually call them little canines..."

The three of them chatted for a while, then one of them received a phone call and went out, leaving Meng Xiaobai feeling utterly bored. After midnight, drowsiness began to set in, but the moment she thought of her roommate's distinctive snoring, Meng Xiaobai lost the courage to return to her room. Unfortunately, she hadn't paid attention to the team leader's room number when the rooms were assigned, so it seemed she would have to spend the night on the sofa in this hall.

The team leader was suddenly stopped by him, startled, and with a slightly pale face asked: "Ah? You... what are you doing? Ah! No, why aren't you resting yet?"

Xiao Jiu asked in confusion: "We also love watching it, is that not normal? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Meng Xiaobai secretly exclaimed in admiration, while Watanabe Nozomu gazed at Huo Qingfeng for a moment, his face still wearing a calm and unperturbed smile. He said lightly, "You are a very interesting person, and I hope we have the opportunity to communicate more in the future"

Meng Xiaobai nodded and feigned a naive expression, saying: "That's great, thank you, team leader"

At this moment, Meng Xiaobai suddenly thought of Ye Feixue, and the excitement stirred by their cold mockery was instantly swept away. He took a gentle puff of his cigarette and turned to gaze out at the passersby outside the window, feeling a vague sense of annoyance in his heart

Another girl named Jingjing, with thick eyeshadow and cradling a pure white Pekingese, appeared to have a somewhat despondent demeanor. She was also fixated on a young man named Watanabe Seibu, nodding repeatedly and saying: "Yes, yes, he has such a great physique, it makes my heart flutter"

The team leader chuckled a bit upon hearing this. After a moment of thought, he said, "I see, then we can only make arrangements for tomorrow. How about this, you can stay in the same room with me tonight"

He lowered his voice for the last few words, and Lao Jiang and Xiao Jiu burst into hearty laughter. Lao Jiang lazily remarked, "I have more research on that than you do. My conclusion is... the men there enjoy watching adult films, while the women prefer making them, which is quite a sight to behold!"

The team leader, surprisingly, did not snore. Here, Meng Xiaobai finally had a good night's sleep. The next morning, when he got up for breakfast, one of his roommates exclaimed in astonishment: "Dude, where were you last night? Hey! You didn't come back to sleep at all, did you... hehehe, Sichuan produces beautiful women!"

The little drink chuckled and said: "It's over, we've offended the beauty. Qingfeng, your appearance is no worse than his. Why not put on a set of white clothes later, and add a touch of elegance with some refined speech? You will surely win over a large number of beauties."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the looks directed at Meng Xiaobai were no longer filled with doubt. Meng Xiaobai noticed that Ye Feixue was bowing her head to drink porridge, a faint smile gracing her lips

Huo Qingfeng disdainfully glared and said: "Torture, do women nowadays still need to go through such trouble? I took out my gold card and said three words: 'Casually swipe at the library.' There is not a single woman in the world who would not be moved by that"

Huo Qingfeng sighed and said, "Perhaps it's better not to? I want to truly enjoy life; unless absolutely necessary, I really don't want to don a military uniform and carry a gun"

Seeing his clueless demeanor, the team leader felt even more at ease and took him upstairs

Meng Xiaobai couldn't help but smile silently, feeling a sudden fondness for this university student who had yet to graduate. Watanabe Seizhou was momentarily taken aback, and after a moment of contemplation, he understood his meaning. A flicker of anger flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it, offering a faint smile as he said: "I have an ancestor who was Chinese, and I took a Chinese name based on his surname, calling myself Yang Jingzhi. My ancestor's notes contain many interesting stories about Chinese knights. You possess the spirit of an ancient Chinese hero! If I ever have the opportunity to be your opponent, it would be my honor!" With that, he bowed deeply again, smiled faintly, and turned to leave.

He paused for a moment, wearing a charming smile, and said: "Indeed, we had only reserved sixteen rooms in advance. This was an oversight on our part. Since we encountered some friends while in Chongqing, we made a last-minute decision to come here together for a trip and would like to stay together. I kindly ask for your assistance, Miss."

Gazing at his graceful silhouette, Huo Qingfeng sighed and asked his two friends: "Did you understand what he said? What does it mean to have an ancestor from a generation? What nationality were they before that?"

Old Jiang shook his head and said: "Chinese culture is vast and profound. To express it this way is already quite good for a book, there is no other way!"

In a hazy state, Meng Xiaobai was awakened by the cold air of the hall. He took out his phone to check the time: 1:27. He sighed, wondering who travels like this; it truly is a torment.

Meng Xiaobai noticed that his collar was open, and his clothes were somewhat disheveled. Under the bright lights of the hall, a faint red kiss mark was clearly visible on the area of his neck and chest. Meng Xiaobai suddenly understood why he had returned so late from outside, and his expression became somewhat awkward. He could only pretend not to know and said, "Did the team leader go shopping? Fortunately, you just got back; otherwise, I wouldn't remember your room number and would have to sleep in the hall for the night"

Two young girls, dressed provocatively and adorned flamboyantly, were passing by when they heard his words. Upon seeing his white attire and exceptionally handsome appearance, one of them exclaimed in delight, saying to the other girl: "Jingjing, look, look, that man is so handsome, so stylish! And his name, Watanabe Seizhou, what a poetic name it is, filled with mystery and beauty like Mount Fuji."

At this moment, the negotiations conducted by the Japanese man named Watanabe Seizhou had yielded results. The group received the keys to their room and headed towards the elevator. When the young man named Watanabe approached a bonsai pine tree, he suddenly turned towards the trio of Huo Qingfeng, who were laughing boisterously, and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle. With an impeccable smile still on his face, he said, "I understand Chinese! I have a deep study of the Chinese language!"

Old Jiang sighed softly: "We watch because of excessive energy, they watch because they are unable to perform, so they have no choice but to watch. The films are made to resemble educational videos on physiology. I fast-forwarded from beginning to end; in a 60-minute film, the real action lasts less than five minutes. How can one not feel anxious?"

The team leader sighed in relief after hearing his words and quickly said, "Ah, yes, let's go for a stroll in the street. By the way, weren't you assigned a room? Why do you need to sleep in the hall?"

Meng Xiaobai said with a苦脸: "Captain, the guy in my room snores too loudly. I don't know how his wife adapts to it. Even with my ears covered, I can hear it clearly. It's like a brain-piercing sound, making it impossible to sleep at all"

The three people's smiles faded, and after a moment of silence, Huo Qingfeng lazily said: "I do not understand Japanese! I have no interest in studying your country's script, um... if your country has a script that completely belongs to itself!"

He stopped after saying this one sentence, looking at the three with a defiant gaze, implying that he could discern the insults embedded in their words.

Two young girls were playfully teasing each other, and Meng Xiaobai, overhearing their conversation, cast a disdainful glance at the two shameless girls. Although the girls had alluring figures and exuded the charm of youth, in his eyes, they resembled two piles of trash, utterly detestable.

The team leader, upon hearing his words, felt guilty and replied with displeasure, "Do you not know how loud your snoring is? Xiao Meng stayed up most of the night at your place and couldn't sleep at all; he slept in my room."
