Chapter 156: Going All Out
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the day of the gathering, unforeseen circumstances caused the scheduled scenes, which were supposed to conclude by 7 p.m., to be delayed until 9:30 p.m. As a result, Wen Nian and Shen Jun hurriedly made their way to the gathering directly from the set.
Yilan Clubhouse.
Shen Jun took the lead and guided Wen Nian into the private room.
The private room was spacious, spanning a few hundred square meters. While it wasnât divided by walls, it was adorned with various appealing decorations. The room was segmented into distinct entertainment areas, allowing for different activities without obstructing the line of sight or causing too much interference. There were dedicated areas for playing darts, billiards, karaoke, mahjong, and poker.
However, the private room wasnât crowded with many people. Inside, there were four boys and only one girl, who happened to be Jin Ting.
Lin Yang, sitting in a position facing the entrance of the private room, noticed Shen Junâs arrival and immediately raised his voice, exclaiming, âHey, hey, hey, the protagonist has arrived!â
Everyoneâs gaze shifted to the door.
A boy with silver-dyed hair stepped forward, reaching out to grab Shen Junâs shoulder while laughing boisterously. âYouâre becoming quite elusive these days! Hard to catch a glimpse of you!â he exclaimed.
Two boys, one overweight and the other slender, descended from the pool table and made their way toward Shen Jun.
The chubby boyâs name was Jiang Zhen, and he chimed in, âZhou Xi is absolutely right. Itâs like trying to ascend to the heavens to catch a glimpse of you! The last time I saw you was during the winter break, and it feels like ages since then. Youâll have to punish yourself by drinking three cups later!â
The tall and thin boy did not say anything and only smiled at the side.
Shen Jun knew that he was in the wrong and said helplessly, âAlright, Iâll drink later.â
Jin Ting stood beside Jiang Zhen and smiled brightly. âBrother Shen Jun!â
Shen Junâs gaze involuntarily shifted towards Wen Nian. Although there was a gentle smile on her face that remained unchanged, Shen Junâs heart raced like a drum.
Jiang Zhen, who was the organizer of the gathering, had initially intended for it to be a gathering with Shen Jun alone. Jin Tingâs presence came as a surprise to him. Excitedly, he turned to Shen Jun and exclaimed, âShen Jun, do you have any idea who this is?â
Understanding the importance of maintaining a joyful atmosphere, Shen Jun didnât want to dampen everyoneâs spirits. With a smile, he replied, âActually, Iâve already had the pleasure of meeting Jin Ting a few days ago.â
Jiang Zhen clapped his hands and grinned. âWhat a coincidence! Jin Ting arrived here unexpectedly, feeling a bit down, and we happened to run into each other at the entrance. Itâs been years since we last saw her, especially since she went abroad. Now we can finally enjoy a good time together!â
As Jin Ting noticed the smile on Shen Junâs face, she spoke in an attempt to clarify her presence. âWell, itâs mainly because I missed you guys, my dear brothers. Itâs such a remarkable coincidence that 1 ran into all of you as soon as 1 returned.â
Upon hearing Jin Tingâs words, Lin Yangâs eyes flickered with mischief. He glanced back and forth between Jin Ting and Shen Jun, teasingly remarking, âOh, do you all recall who once declared their desire to marry our beloved Brother Shen Jun?â
Observing the situation, Jin Ting immediately lowered her head, feigning shyness. Shen Junâs expression seemed slightly off. Sensing the tension, Xue Jiang, who had been silent until now, interjected with a light-hearted remark, âCome on, letâs all take a seat. Weâre standing so upright that someone might mistake us for guards on duty.â
Shen Jun said, âLet me introduce you all. This is my girlfriend Wen Nian.â
Everyone already saw Wen Nian, who was beside Shen Jun. Shen Jun had mentioned a few days ago that he had found a girlfriend in Hai City. It would be disingenuous to claim that they werenât intrigued by the girl who had managed to capture the attention of the usually aloof Shen Jun.
However, upon discovering that Wen Nian came from an ordinary family background, they considered her as a passing figure in the early stages of Shen Junâs dating experience.
It is like the role played by certain maidservants who were well-versed in worldly matters in the presence of young masters in ancient times.
When everyone saw Wen Nianâs delicate features and her gentle and obedient demeanor, they couldnât help but marvel at how Shen Jun had a preference for this type. However, they didnât pay it much mind, and naturally, they didnât even bother to greet her.
The scene that just unfolded was something Wen Nian had anticipated in advance. Every social group has its own barriers, and this small circle was no exception. Even though they may appear warm and accommodating in front of Shen Jun, their true thoughts and perceptions in private could be entirely different.
There are only two ways to change this situation. One is for Shen Jun to genuinely protect her, as they wouldnât want to lose him as a loyal and trusted friend. The other is for Wen Nian to enhance her own abilities and make these young masters genuinely change their perspectives from the depths of their hearts.
Upon hearing Shen Junâs introduction, Lin Yang took the initiative to greet Wen Nian, smiling as he said, âHello, Wen Nian. Iâm Lin Yang.â
The others didnât show much on their faces, but they still greeted Wen Nian with friendliness, even if their attitudes were not overly enthusiastic.
Lastly, it was Jin Ting who spoke up. She stepped forward, gently taking hold of Wen Nianâs wrist and wore an innocent smile on her face. âHello, sister. Iâm Jin Ting. You can call me Tingting, just like Shen Jun does,â she said.
Jin Ting felt that she had truly gone all out in order to enter the entertainment industry..
