Chapter 167 New Song

Chapter 167 New Song (Part 1)

The restaurant Shen Qing booked wasn't far from her apartment, but the road conditions weren't ideal; the latter half consisted of narrow, old streets.

It took Wei Hongsi sixteen or seventeen minutes to get there; he estimated that it would take less than ten minutes by bike.

Following Shen Qing's directions, he drove the car into a small underground parking garage with only about ten parking spaces, estimated to be just over 200 square meters.

After the group got out of the car, a middle-aged man came up to them, smiled and greeted them, and led them to the elevator.

Although the underground parking garage wasn't large, there were six elevators in the elevator lobby. The middle-aged man opened the door to one of the elevators, invited them inside, and then closed the door from the outside.

There are only two floor buttons in the elevator, and since no one is operating them, the upper button lights up automatically.

Soon the elevator doors opened again, and the group stepped out of the car to find a room with a terrace directly connected to the elevator, without any corridors or hallways.

Jiang Haiyang looked around and said, "Oh, so it's a direct elevator. I've learned something new."

Shen Qing said, "This place is more suitable for private gatherings, where we won't be disturbed."

Dai Mengqi exclaimed, "Wow, this is a wonderful place!"

The others also expressed their agreement.

Obviously, each of the six elevators corresponds to a room, and apart from getting on and off, the entire dining process will not involve interaction with other guests.

Although they don't have to worry about being disturbed even when eating at street food stalls outside the school, they understand this.

The layout of the room is very different from that of a typical restaurant private room; it looks more like a home environment.

The five people sat down next to the rectangular restaurant. Shen Qing pushed the ordering tablet on the table to the middle: "Everyone, take a look and see what you want to eat. There are quite a few kinds of dishes here."

Wei Hongsi said, "We're fine with whatever we eat, you decide."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Shen Qing said, "How about we have teppanyaki?"

Dai Mengqi was the first to agree, followed immediately by Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang, and Wei Hongsi naturally had no objections either.

After the group ordered their food, a waiter quickly came over through a private passage, set up a charcoal grill on the terrace, and began grilling. Soon after, the grilled food was brought out one after another.

Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang each ordered a beer, Dai Mengqi ordered juice, and Wei Hongsi and Shen Qing ordered mineral water.

The five men clinked glasses and began to eat. It was already past seven o'clock, well past their usual mealtime, and they were so hungry they felt they could swallow any amount of food.

Shen Qing rarely saw anyone eat so lavishly, and she was somewhat dumbfounded.

Wei Hongsi used serving chopsticks to put some grilled beef on her plate and said, "Don't be polite with them, or your stomach will suffer."

Shen Qing smiled and nodded. After eating for a while, she relaxed and joined in the scrambling. She felt that all the food she ate today tasted better than before, and she even ate two pieces of grilled eel, which she didn't like before.

Wei Hongsi usually eats slowly, but when he eats with Feng Weixu, Jiang Haiyang and the others, he gets caught up in the pace.

The pace slowed down and people started talking more when everyone was about 60-70% full.

After eating for a while, Feng Weixu suddenly got the urge to show off his barbecue skills. He went to the terrace and took over the barbecue chef's job. Dai Mengqi also went to join in the fun.

Seeing the two leave, Shen Qing whispered to Wei Hongsi, "Is your senior brother Feng dating Mengqi?"

Wei Hongsi was somewhat surprised: "Even you noticed?"

"Is it true?"

"They say they're not dating, but they're often together, and we can all tell they like each other; they say they're dating, but they never seem to be on the right track."

Wei Hongsi didn't lower his voice, and Jiang Haiyang heard it too, so he said, "They're Schrödinger's lovers."

Wei Hongsi laughed and said, "You can't just say that. Teacher Xue's love life is a bit messy."

Jiang Haiyang slapped his mouth: "Then pretend I didn't say anything." He then said to Shen Qing, "Just think of them as two clueless idiots."

Shen Qing said, "Then I'll just write the message for Mengqi's CD only for her."

She wasn't trying to gossip about other people's relationships. Just now, Dai Mengqi claimed to be her fan, and she said she wanted to send Dai Mengqi a commemorative CD, thinking it would be more meaningful to write a message of blessing for both of them on it. Since the two haven't officially defined their relationship, writing something like that is clearly inappropriate.

Jiang Haiyang said, "I think you should write it, otherwise it's too awkward for us to see them like this."

"7

Wei Hongsi nodded and said, "That makes sense. You should write it down and send it to the two of them, let them think about it themselves."

97

Seeing that the two were not joking, Shen Qing nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Haiyang said, "Big star, I'm a fan of yours too, please send me one as well."

Wei Hongsi asked, "Didn't you just become a fan this afternoon?"

Jiang Haiyang said, "That's true. I can sing quite a few of Shen Qing's songs." He then sang a short song a cappella, and it looked quite decent.

Unable to offer a definitive judgment, Wei Hongsi asked Shen Qing, "Do you think his singing reached the level expected of a fan?"

Shen Qing smiled and said, "It's quite good!"

Jiang Haiyang smiled smugly and said to Shen Qing, "I'm single, so your well wishes can be given to only me."

Shen Qing said, "Okay. I'm releasing a new album next month, and since you're my fan, you should support it too!"

"Of course!" Jiang Haiyang raised his beer glass. "I wish you great success with your new album!"

"Thank you!" Shen Qing picked up her water glass and glanced at Wei Hongsi again.

Wei Hongsi then picked up his water glass and said, "I wish you great success with your new album!"

Shen Qing said to him, "I wish us good luck in achieving our goals!"

Wei Hongsi didn't quite understand Shen Qing's logic. Did she mean to achieve results in research?

After the three of them clinked glasses, Feng Weixu and Dai Mengqi returned carrying a plate of freshly grilled beef and a plate of mushrooms.

Everyone politely finished eating. Perhaps their grilling wasn't bad, but when you're already seven or eight tenths full, the taste inevitably suffers.

The group finished eating around nine o'clock. Wei Hongsi asked Shen Qing where to pay the bill, but Shen Qing said it wasn't necessary and would be directly charged to her card, so Wei Hongsi didn't insist.

It wasn't that he didn't want to pay, but this place clearly didn't operate like a typical restaurant. He noticed this when he first ordered: none of the dishes had prices listed.

The group went down to the underground parking garage via the elevator. After the car came out, Feng Weixu and the other two got out and took a taxi back to school, leaving Wei Hongsi to only take Shen Qing.

After a brief farewell to the three, Wei Hongsi turned on the navigation and drove towards the apartment where Shen Qing lived.

Suddenly, Shen Qing said, "The two songs you helped me revise will have both of our names listed as composers when they are published, so it's considered a collaboration between us."
