I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 166 Your thinking is normal, yes! Very normal...

When the weekend arrived, the group agreed on a day to go out and have fun together.

Yin Mengran stood in front of the mirror, choosing the clothes she would wear when going out.

But after choosing several sets, I still didn't feel quite satisfied with any of them...

"Honey! Can you help me decide which one I should wear?"

Yin Mengran called out towards the restroom.

Zhou Heng poked his head out of the bathroom, a toothbrush still in his mouth, toothpaste all over his lips...

"Uh...uh..."

"Ahem... You can wear... You look good in anything."

Yin Mengran smiled gently and said softly, "I knew you'd say that, but I still have to choose one..."

"Then... then this one."

Zhou Heng ran out and picked out one of the outfits for Yin Mengran.

Yin Mengran was somewhat surprised, as this was exactly what she wanted, but she wondered why Zhou Heng had chosen so accurately.

"why?"

"Uh...because this outfit doesn't show much skin..."

"Oh, is that so? Well, I'll do as you say then!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Mengran beamed with joy, reached out and touched Zhou Heng's cheek, her eyes filled with doting affection.

"Om-"

Just then, the smart lock on the front door beeped. The two turned around and heard someone entering a password outside.

They were both stunned for a moment... After all, besides the two of them, no one else should know the door lock combination...

"Click——"

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a head peeked in—it was Tang Zhi...

"Hey...you two, why aren't you ready yet? Didn't I tell you I was leaving twenty minutes ago?"

Tang Zhi's lips twitched, she opened the door and walked in, then closed it behind her.

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were both stunned. Zhou Heng stepped forward and asked:

"No...you...can't you be a little calmer? How did you know the front door code? Did I tell you?"

Tang Zhi tilted her head, blinked, and exclaimed in confusion, "Huh?" before answering:

"I guessed. If you set the password, it must be Yin Mengran's birthday. If Yin Mengran set it, it must be your birthday. So I just entered Yin Mengran's birthday, and it was correct. It's that simple."

"Tsk...can you...play dumb sometimes, instead of making us look like we're stupid?"

Zhou Heng clicked his tongue, looking helpless, thinking to himself that he should have set a more complex password...

Tang Zhi shrugged, sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and said helplessly:

"Please, when you go to a restaurant, can't you at least guess the Wi-Fi password? Eight 8s, six 6s, or the restaurant's full name in pinyin—that's normal thinking, okay? I can only say... uh... your thinking is perfectly normal, yes! Perfectly normal..."

"This doesn't sound like a compliment..."

"Alright! Stop thinking about it. You two hurry up. Where are the other two? Where are we meeting? Did you tell them?"

“We told them that our route is a straight line, we will take the subway directly, and once we get on, we will tell them, and they will come halfway there.”

"Okay, then hurry up."

Under Tang Zhi's supervision, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran sped up and finally got ready to leave within ten minutes.

The three of them went out together, arrived at the subway station, and boarded the subway.

Zhou Heng immediately notified Liao Haomiao, telling him he could take the next subway train.

Liao Haomiao had probably been waiting for a long time, because after Zhou Heng sent the message, he replied with "OK" instantly.

After riding for two stops, Zhou Heng saw Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao get on, and they successfully met up.

"Bro, I bet you're the slowest, right?"

As soon as Liao Haomiao walked over, he patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder and gave a helpless smirk.

After meeting up with Zhu Tao in the morning, he went to the subway station to wait. Ten subway trains had passed by, but he still hadn't received any news from Zhou Heng...

"Uh... I'm quite meticulous..."

Zhou Heng scratched his head awkwardly, realizing he was indeed the slowest; Yin Mengran had finished packing much faster than him...

Tang Zhi glanced at the time, nudged Zhou Heng, and asked:

"It's already 10 o'clock, we need to hurry up. You made an appointment with the boss at 10:30, right?"

"I?"

Zhou Heng turned his head, pointing at himself with a blank expression.

"Yes, you...you don't tell me...you didn't make an appointment? Didn't I tell you three days ago to make an appointment? We'll transfer the money to you then."

Tang Zhi realized something was wrong, her brows furrowed, and her eyes were fixed on Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng bit his lip, feeling cold sweat instantly trickle down his forehead.

"Um...do...do you have one? Did you ask me to make an appointment? But...didn't we agree before that...you would make the appointment?"

Tang Zhi let out a sigh, her brows furrowing, and whispered:

"Do you want me to recreate the scene for you? When we were having lunch, I mentioned this to you. You said you were a new user and could get a discount, and I told you to make a reservation. Have you forgotten?"

"It seems...there might be such a thing..."

Zhou Heng's heart began to race. He remembered; it seemed that was indeed the case.

But when he got home that night, he worked out and then studied, and forgot all about it!

Tang Zhi already knew Zhou Heng hadn't made an appointment. She crossed her arms, tilted her head, and stared at Zhou Heng speechlessly.

The atmosphere was awkward, and Liao Haomiao spoke first:

"Uh...you can't really blame Zhou Heng...after all, he's all brawn and no brains..."

"Smack..." Before Liao Haomiao could finish speaking, Zhu Tao gently patted him and gave him a look, telling him to shut up...

Yin Mengran quickly stepped forward and spoke to Tang Zhi in a gentle tone:

"Um... let's go check it out. Maybe we don't need to make a reservation in advance? After all, we're already out here. If it doesn't work out, we can always go somewhere else later..."

Zhou Heng hid behind Yin Mengran, not daring to speak.

Faced with Yin Mengran's pleas, Tang Zhi didn't pursue the matter further and sighed.

"Sigh... I really can't trust Zhou Heng next time, he's such a rip-off..."

"Sorry, it was just an accident this time." Zhou Heng shrugged and gave an awkward laugh.

The group arrived at their destination, got off the subway, and headed towards the party venue.

After arriving here, I found the owner and asked if there were any rooms available that hadn't been booked.

The boss shook his head helplessly:

"Sorry, it's the last room. It was just booked two hours ago, and the customer is probably arriving soon..."

"what..."

Just then, the door to the outside was opened.

All eyes were drawn to them as a young man and woman walked in through the door, holding hands; they were clearly a couple...

"what?!"

Zhou Heng's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open. Even Yin Mengran and Tang Zhi frowned, their expressions grave...

They didn't recognize the woman.

But this guy...

"Lu Yunshuo?"
