Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 355 - 259. Who launched a night attack on Xu Qingfan?
"6108, please take care of your room card," the attendant said respectfully as he handed the room card to Xu Qingfan in the glittering grand lobby.
"Thank you," Xu Qingfan nodded, spinning the card between his fingers after taking it.
"Let’s go, we’ll head up to drop off our luggage, then take a look around," he said, turning to rejoin the five girls and taking his suitcase back from Lin Wanning’s hands.
"Let’s move out~" The heads of the five girls were all adorned with rabbit ear headbands they had just bought at the gift shop; their cool, knee-length dresses captured everyone’s attention as soon as they entered the lobby.
It wasn’t until the group of six pushed their luggage into the elevator that everyone seemed to snap out of it and avert their gazes.
The receptionist who had just checked Xu Qingfan in also looked away, her face blushing as she whispered, "They sure know how to have fun."
Clearly, because they booked only one room, the receptionist’s mind had conjured up some embarrassingly vivid images.
The small group of six made it a point to take a week-long vacation during each winter and summer break, and this time their destination was Hong Kong.
Walking down the long corridor to their room, Xu Qingfan pulled out the key card to unlock the door.
As the door swung open, they were greeted with a small living room adorned with a medieval décor, complete with various Disney plushies on the sofa and coffee table.
Once all five girls had entered, he closed the door behind them, sealing them away from the outside world.
"Looks good, definitely worth the ticket price," Xu Qingfan said after inserting the room card to power up the room, taking a moment to survey the layout.
Seeing the same expensive plush toys from the boutique store now strewn in front of them, Wu Lingyu’s thrifty nature kicked in, "Had I known they’d be here, we wouldn’t have bought so many."
The room they booked cost over eight thousand for one night, and the staff had mentioned during check-in that all the Disney merchandise could be taken home when they checked out.
"If there are duplicates, we can give them away to others, come on, pack up, whoever finishes last will be in charge of carrying things later!"
"Not me!"
No sooner had Xu Qingfan finished speaking than the four girls grabbed their luggage and dashed back to the master bedroom, leaving Wu Lingyu with no choice but to follow.

"Yu really knows how to live life," Xu Qingfan mused with a laugh as he watched their retreating figures.
After the girls entered their room, he also brought his suitcase to the neighboring secondary bedroom.
The receptionist earlier couldn’t be blamed for her wild thoughts; after all, a group with one male and five females could have booked a double or triple room, yet unexpectedly, they booked a family room, which certainly led to some imaginative thoughts about what might transpire on the large bed in the master bedroom come nighttime.
But they couldn’t really be faulted; for one, Xu Qingfan worried about the girls’ safety if they were in separate rooms, and two, booking a luxury suite was deemed too wasteful by Wu Lingyu, hence the compromise with a family suite.
The five female ’moms’ would sleep in the master bedroom, and Xu Qingfan, the dutiful ’son’, in the secondary bedroom.
In their little group of six, aside from Xu Qingfan and the other two who made big money drawing comics—Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi—the richest among the remaining three was actually Wu Lingyu.
Well Taste Duck Neck had been steadily profitable since the end of last year; the 5% share that Wu Lingyu’s family initially received, despite being diluted to less than 3% after a series of mergers, still brought them an annual dividend of several million.
With the family’s financial situation improving, Li Meijuan, out of guilt for not providing a better life when her daughter was younger, not only frequently bought her designer clothes but also gave her more allowance than she could spend each month.
Despite this, Wu Lingyu remained frugal with unnecessary expenses, as the thrifty habits ingrained in her from childhood were deeply rooted and hard to change.
The five girls quickly finished packing their luggage, naturally leaving Xu Qingfan as the last one done; he never intended to make any of the girls carry things.
"Brother Qing Fan, we’re ready!"
"Brother Fan, are we going on a cruise tonight or up to Tai Ping Mountain to see the night view?"
"There’s also the Ferris wheel, Brother Qing Fan, I want to ride the Ferris wheel!"
Lin Wanning and Xiao Ruawen took turns speaking, their seamless back-and-forth like a well-rehearsed comedy duo.
"We’ll go eat first, then take the cable car up to Tai Ping Mountain to see the night view," Xu Qingfan, who used to travel without guides, had gradually formed the habit of planning ahead after leading the five girls on so many trips.
"Yay!"
The culinary specialties of Hong Kong aren’t too different from those in Victoria Port, just a bit sweeter, but the prices were more than triple what they were used to back home.
After finishing their first dinner of the trip a little after six, they quickly moved on to catching a cab to Tai Ping Mountain in the Central and Western District.
At around eight or nine in the evening, with Hong Kong shrouded in darkness, they took the cable car up to the mountain peak, where skyscrapers soared and twinkling lights glimmered.
From the peak, they could see all of Victoria Port and the expanse of Hong Kong; many young couples cuddled together against the railing, while the more bold and unrestrained ones went further, engaging both hands and mouths.
"Brother Qing Fan, it’s so windy!"
"What did you say?"
"I said it’s really windy!"
The night view from the mountain top was indeed gorgeous, the only drawback being the fierce winds; for a single person who had failed calculus, it really wasn’t advisable to come up here at night.
