Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 969 As expected, comparing yourself to others is infuriating.

The Su family did not reserve a suite at the hotel.

However, if Su Zhenzhen takes it, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Especially now that Su Zhenzhen has no confidence in Zhou Jingyan at all, she doesn't want to cause herself any unnecessary trouble.

She paused for a moment, as if considering her options.

“I’m not as picky as you think.” Zhou Jingyan seemed to realize Su Zhenzhen’s predicament. “I originally planned to go to Jiangzhou tomorrow, so He Chen booked a hotel for me for tomorrow. As for tonight, it’s already very late, so it’s fine to make do.”

"Which hotel are you staying at tomorrow night?" Su Zhenzhen asked.

“The four seasons,” Zhou Jingyan replied.

"Okay." Su Zhenzhen nodded.

Then Su Zhenzhen turned the car around and drove towards the Four Seasons Hotel.

On the way there, she booked a room at the Four Seasons Hotel.

"Then you'll have to make do in the standard room tonight. We'll move you to the suite you booked tomorrow," Su Zhenzhen said to Zhou Jingyan with a smile. "After you check in, I'll take you out to eat."

"What are you taking me to eat tonight?" Zhou Jingyan asked unhurriedly.

“The most special thing about Jiangzhou is its beef, so I’ll take you to eat beef hot pot. But it might not be in a shopping mall, but in the suburbs. The environment is so-so, but the taste is very good. I don’t know if you mind.” Su Zhenzhen spoke calmly.

The person who took Zhou Jingyan to this kind of place must have known about it beforehand.

Zhou Jingyan isn't entirely picky about her environment.

Besides, this isn't a business banquet, so there's no need for that kind of formal, high-class setting.

It tastes good, or it's really good.

"You can arrange it," Zhou Jingyan said calmly.

"Okay." Su Zhenzhen nodded.

The two didn't talk much on the way to the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Zhou Jingyan discreetly completed the check-in process.

Upon seeing Zhou Jingyan's name, the hotel manager immediately recognized her and vacated the reserved suite.

"Mr. Zhou, we've upgraded you to the suite we originally reserved. This way, you won't need to change rooms tomorrow," the manager said with a smile.

Zhou Jingyan nodded but didn't say anything.

Su Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow and stood to the side without saying a word.

Sure enough, comparisons are odious; she arrived without a room, while Zhou Jingyan got one.

Humph.

However, Su Zhenzhen didn't say anything and stood there gracefully: "Then I'll wait for you in the lobby downstairs."

They didn't seem to intend to follow.

Zhou Jingyan glanced at it and said, "Okay."

I didn't force them.

If Su Zhenzhen were to follow, it would be too ambiguous.

After all, their relationship wasn't like that.

Many things cannot be rushed.

So Su Zhenzhen ordered a cup of coffee and waited downstairs, keeping a low profile.

Zhou Jingyan wasn't one to dawdle. He went upstairs to put down his luggage, answered a phone call, and then came downstairs.

When I went downstairs, I saw Su Zhenzhen holding a takeout coffee and quietly drinking it.

"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep if you drink coffee so late?" Zhou Jingyan asked in a low voice.

"Are you all better?" Su Zhenzhen smiled.

She looked up at Zhou Jingyan and shook the coffee cup in her hand.

"It's not that bad. Once you get used to it, you won't have trouble sleeping anymore," Su Zhenzhen said with a smile.

Then she stood up with her coffee cup and led Zhou Jingyan toward the underground parking garage.

As they approached the car, Zhou Jingyan suddenly spoke up: "You have your coffee, make a reservation, and I'll drive."

That's a bit abrupt.

Su Zhenzhen wondered if Zhou Jingyan was unhappy because she was drinking coffee, which was why he wanted her to drive.

She couldn't quite figure it out.

But since Zhou Jingyan took the initiative to speak, Su Zhenzhen didn't stand on ceremony: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jingyan took the car keys and nodded: "Don't overthink it. It's just that it's inconvenient for you to drive while you're drinking coffee. Besides, going back and forth to the airport like this is already exhausting."

After all, it happened to be peak season.

"No, it's my honor," Su Zhenzhen smiled.

She can also be a little flattering if the situation calls for it.

Zhou Jingyan smiled but didn't say anything.

He gentlemanly opened the car door for Su Zhenzhen and let her get in.

Su Zhenzhen gave Zhou Jingyan extra points for this. Compared to those chauvinistic men, Zhou Jingyan's gentlemanly behavior was very endearing.

Zhou Jingyan then walked around to the driver's seat and got into the car.

After all, the car belongs to Su Zhenzhen, so it's very feminine.

Zhou Jingyan glanced at it but didn't say anything. He started the car and drove off smoothly.

Su Zhenzhen sat quietly in the passenger seat, sipping her coffee and playing music.

It's jazz.

Su Zhenzhen likes it.

Zhou Jingyan happened to like it too.

In their eyes, Zhou Jingyan prefers quiet and dislikes all sorts of fancy things.

Zhou Jingyan did not argue; his preferences did not need to be known to the whole world.

Now, however, he seemed somewhat surprised: "You like jazz?"

"Sorry, I forgot. I have a habit of turning on music." Su Zhenzhen reacted quickly.

She thought she was disturbing Zhou Jingyan, so she immediately tried to turn it off.

Zhou Jingyan stopped Su Zhenzhen with his hand, and coincidentally, the backs of their hands overlapped.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became ambiguous.

Su Zhenzhen didn't struggle; she just watched.

Zhou Jingyan didn't seem to be letting go either.

A slight stillness permeated the air.

It wasn't until Zhou Jingyan broke the silence: "No need, I like jazz too."

Su Zhenzhen was surprised: "You like it?"

Then, during this conversation, the two of them casually let go of each other's hands, and the ambiguous atmosphere instantly disappeared.

The atmosphere inside the car was much more lively than before.

It refers to jazz.

Su Zhenzhen never expected that she and Zhou Jingyan would have a common hobby.

It just so happens that the musicians mentioned are all ones I like.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the conversation became much more cheerful.

The restaurant was located in the outskirts of Jiangzhou, but because it was close to a slaughterhouse, all the beef was fresh.

The environment is just so-so.

However, it does not affect dining.

Su Zhenzhen requested a private room.

"Did you come here often before?" Zhou Jingyan asked casually, without any complaints.

"It's alright. I come here with my friends after I go back to China. Everyone likes it here," Su Zhenzhen replied.

Zhou Jingyan nodded: "I thought you all liked to go to high-end restaurants, Michelin-starred restaurants."

“I’ll go too. But places like this have a real, down-to-earth feel. Michelin-starred restaurants are more for showing off and pretending to be high-society.” Su Zhenzhen said gracefully.

Zhou Jingyan listened and chuckled softly.

Su Zhenzhen is indeed different from the socialites I know.

It's mostly because it lacks pretense.

It's much more comfortable to be around them now.

When eating, Su Zhenzhen doesn't just take a couple of bites and then stop; she actually eats.

So this is a form of relaxation.

"Is there anything Mr. Zhou doesn't eat?" Su Zhenzhen asked.

"I'm not picky, as long as it's not too spicy," Zhou Jingyan said casually.

Su Zhenzhen nodded: "Then shall I make a recommendation?"

"Please." Zhou Jingyan nodded in acknowledgment.
