Chapter 80: The Scandals of Stars
Chapter 80
The class monitor posted the time and location to the class group chat, which was exactly the time Shi Li had been hoping for.
Now Shi Li didn't need to rack her brains for excuses anymore.
Everyone went home to rest for a day, and the next day at noon, at the appointed time, the group boarded the bus in grand fashion.
The homeroom teacher: How come no one notified me?
Traveling with the class monitor has this advantage - you don't need to bring your brain along. You don't have to worry about anything the whole time, as the motherly class monitor will take care of everything.
This is certainly more reliable than going out with a boyfriend.
Shi Li thought to herself: [The class monitor would be great at leading tour groups]
Everyone else: That's right!
[In the future, our class could also go on trips to slightly farther places, to create some memorable experiences in our beautiful youth]
Everyone except the class monitor: We concur, Your Excellency!
Class monitor: Have you all gotten addicted to making me the fall guy?
The reason for inviting everyone out wasn't just because the class monitor was having an end-of-year thanksgiving sale to thank his classmates for supporting his work this semester.
It was mainly to thank everyone for their help in allowing his father to escape a crisis.
Among them, he should be most grateful to Shi Li for providing intelligence, but the other classmates also deserved appreciation. After all, they were a collective, and every person was an important part of it.
As a high-end hot spring resort, of course it couldn't be without hotel accommodation services.
The class monitor had booked rooms with the resort in advance. After giving his reserved name and phone number, a staff member led the group to where they would be staying for the night.
The class monitor had considered everything thoughtfully, with boys staying on one side and girls on the other.
Each person got their own room and key card.
After allocating the rooms, he let everyone put their personal belongings in their rooms first.
They had been on the road for over an hour, so they could rest in their rooms for a while and come out together to find food when it was mealtime.
As a class collective, although they couldn't eat and live together - after all, everyone needed some privacy - they could still eat and play together.
Of course, getting along well was one thing, but most importantly, the class couldn't be without Shi Li when it came to gossiping.
With final exams over and grades not yet released, and no classes to attend, life without having to worry about studying was truly blissful.
After resting in their rooms for a few hours in the afternoon, it wasn't until the class monitor called everyone in the class group chat to go to the dining area that people started heading there in twos and threes. The class monitor's level of thoughtfulness had exceeded everyone's imagination - he had pre-ordered dishes based on everyone's tastes.
By the time everyone arrived, all the food was ready.
Shi Li couldn't help but marvel to herself: [This level of thoughtfulness, he could be laid off from his job as an overbearing CEO and get re-employed as an assistant, helping the CEO chase after the female lead, arranging forceful seductions in little dark rooms...]
Class monitor: Thanks a lot, you really think too highly of me.
The hot spring resort's main attraction was the hot springs, not the food.
While the quality of the hot spring water was good, the food was quite mediocre.
Out of a desire not to waste food, everyone painfully cleared their plates.
Fortunately, the portions weren't large. Otherwise, it would have been double the torture.
After the meal, the class monitor suggested everyone not rush to soak in the hot springs, but to digest for a while first.
Then everyone sat in the warm game room, forming teams to play online games or play cards together.
Several hours passed, and by the time they thought about going to the hot springs, it was already close to 9 o'clock.
Well, forget about the hot springs then, let's just keep playing.
By the time they left the game room, it was nearly midnight, and Shi Li, who wasn't used to staying up late, was yawning constantly.
Everyone headed back to their rooms together from the game room. Because they weren't all on the same floor, a few impatient people who didn't want to wait for the elevator decided to take the stairs, as it was only three floors difference.
The rest were unwilling to climb stairs, so they waited together at the elevator.
Finally, the elevator doors opened, revealing two men wearing masks and baseball caps inside.
Although the men's faces were well-covered, everyone still recognized him.
It was Yan Hanyi, a nationally popular male star in recent years. He had become famous a few years ago with an idol drama, and although his subsequent dramas were all flops, he frequently appeared as a guest on variety shows, often creating memes and jokes, gaining quite a good reputation among the general public.
Two years ago, news broke that he had secretly married a popular young actress, which the couple quickly confirmed.
Because both were attractive, the public had a good impression of them.
The female star's fans felt that their "brother-in-law" had poor acting skills and was living off his wife, while the male star's fans complained that their "sister-in-law" had a bad temper.
Although they were fans of the couple, these two groups of fans often fought, able to start arguments in all kinds of comment sections, becoming sworn enemies.
The woman beside Yan Hanyi, though well-covered, was clearly not his wife.
But these two were holding hands, and if anyone said they were just friends, it would be treating everyone like fools.
Especially when the elevator doors opened and the two inside saw a group of people standing at the door, with some quick-reacting individuals already taking out their phones to take pictures, the pair quickly let go of each other's hands.
This action made it even more obvious that something was amiss.
However, the two had already pretended not to know each other and let go of their hands, so those who had taken out their phones didn't manage to capture the moment in time.
The elevator had limited capacity, so some people got in while the rest waited for the next one.
Shi Li was among those waiting for the next elevator.
Everyone was wondering if this was the live scene Shi Li wanted them to see. It seemed quite ordinary - a male celebrity cheating may be immoral, but it's basically the norm. How many male celebrities don't cheat?
[Pei Nuo's sister looks like that? She's much worse compared to her sister]
The rest of the group: So what are you saying, that girl is actually Pei Nuo's sister?
Pei Nuo wasn't some big shot, but coincidentally, she was Yan Hanyi's wife.
In other words, the two people holding hands in the elevator just now were Pei Nuo's legal husband and her own sister?
No way, it couldn't be this dramatic, could it?
Everyone felt that only this kind of drama would capture Shi Li's full attention.
But they also vaguely felt that there should be a sequel to this incident. Although a popular celebrity fooling around was explosive news,
The classmates who got into the first elevator weren't in a hurry to go home, but wanted to be closer to the scene of the celebrity's infidelity.
As a result, when they got back to their rooms, they heard the shocking news that Shi Li said the girl was Yan Hanyi's sister-in-law?
What an astonishing moral degradation.
They somewhat regretted getting on the elevator first, but since they only missed one piece of information, and everyone eventually passed the news to them, they didn't feel too regretful.
The most regretful were those who took the stairs. Just because they were eager to get back to their rooms, they angrily climbed the stairs, resulting in missing the encounter with the male celebrity holding hands with another woman in the elevator.
It was something they could regret for a lifetime.
Shi Li naturally didn't know that behind her back, her classmates had been agonizing over this all night.
The next morning at breakfast, she overheard the waitstaff muttering and discussing how Yan Hanyi and the unknown woman had stayed in the same room, and when the housekeeping staff cleaned up in the morning, the room was in such a state of debauchery that they blushed. If they didn't know better, they would have thought someone was filming an adult movie in the room.
Shi Li raised an eyebrow: [Wow, that intense]
[But it won't be intense for much longer]
The others had stayed up until late at night. Some even chose to have their meals sent to their rooms, so there wasn't a single one of her classmates in the dining room.
This just goes to show that sometimes choices are more important than effort.
Everyone had tried hard until midnight to guess, but they couldn't accurately predict the correct answer. If someone had gone to bed early and gotten up early to have breakfast with Shi Li, they could have made accurate guesses based on Shi Li's inner thoughts and saved themselves over a decade of detours.
However, no one had that luck.
Shi Li stuffed a shrimp dumpling into her mouth, listening to the two waiters' quiet mutterings.
"We thought Yan Hanyi was just a bit washed up, with poor acting skills. Who would have thought he'd fool around behind his wife's back."
"I know, right? If that madwoman Pei Nuo finds out, she'll cause an uproar that'll turn the world upside down."
"Definitely. Other female celebrities might still consider their shared interests as a couple, but Pei Nuo is different. If you dare to upset her, she'll make sure you're unhappy for life. Remember that marketing account that spread rumors about her?"
"Of course I remember. That person said Pei Nuo's daughter was born to some big shot, and then she turned around and sued them in court. They went bankrupt paying tens of thousands in compensation, and even got fired from their real-life job. It's really pitiful."
"So yeah, Yan Hanyi is in for a world of trouble."
"However, this person couldn't control his lower body, so it serves him right to suffer the consequences."
Shi Li smiled faintly, [It's not just him who will suffer the consequences]
