Chapter 168: Chapter 110: Ultimate Same-Frame Moment! Chen Yuan and Jiang Ning’s Unexpected Encounter with Yaoyao

So, it was a fan mob swarming the hotel entrance… Apparently, some popular celebrity from some media company was in Sanya to film a music video. Their schedule had been leaked, and a massive horde of fans immediately rushed over, blocking the main entrance so tight you couldn’t get through.

Delivery drivers couldn’t get in, and guests couldn’t get out.

These fan groups were pretty unhinged, and the star-chasing frenzy was intense. Those girls didn’t care that the hotel needed to operate normally. In their eyes, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see their idol, and nothing on earth was going to stand in their way.

It wasn’t just the main entrance. The side doors, the underground parking garage—fans were everywhere.

The hotel’s security guards were already doing their best to clear a path, but they were hopelessly outnumbered. They couldn’t resort to forceful measures.

Jiangg Yao felt that if she didn’t eat soon, she was going to die in her suite. She forced her aching body up, put on her clothes, a hat, a scarf, and sunglasses, bundling herself up completely. She told the delivery driver to come around to the side entrance.

The front desk had said there were more security guards there, so someone should be able to get her food for her.

Jiangg Yao’s steps were unsteady as she opened her hotel room door, walked down the hallway to the elevators, and pressed the button for the first-floor lobby. She leaned weakly against the elevator wall, her stomach rumbling incessantly. GRUMBLE… GRUMBLE…

Even her heartbeat felt faint.

Thinking back, she hadn’t eaten much last night and had missed breakfast by sleeping in. She’d lost track of how long she had been this hungry.

“Fried chicken…” Jiangg Yao mumbled.

Golden, crispy, and tender chicken drumsticks… vibrant, fragrant, and soft Portuguese egg tarts… glistening chicken wings, sizzling as the grease dripped off them…

These images flashed through her mind. Jiangg Yao was like a zombie, stumbling out of the elevator and through the hotel lobby, turning past a sofa to head toward the side entrance.

She still had to take the long way around!

Finally reaching the side lobby, Yaoyao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Through the glass, amidst the sea of fans, she clearly saw a young woman in a kangaroo hat holding a takeout bag, a lost look on her face.

“That… That’s my food!” Jiangg Yao explained to a security guard, blinking anxiously.

“My apologies! I’m so sorry… Miss, I’ll go get it for you right away.” A burly, middle-aged man with a respectful attitude apologized profusely once he understood the situation. The staff at this luxury hotel were clearly high-caliber; the moment he heard her request, he was ready to obey without a second thought. “Please wait here for me.”

With that, he strode forward, pushed open the glass door, and started shouting for the fans at the entrance to make way.

His voice was certainly loud and intimidating.

“Send more men to the main lobby! Call everyone from the dorms! We’ve got seven or eight guests trying to get in. Make those fans get the hell back! If they don’t listen, push them out by force… What!? Safety? Our job is to protect the guests’ safety, not the fans’!”

As Jiangg Yao waited, a man who looked like the security captain yelled into a walkie-talkie behind her.

It seemed the situation was really causing trouble for the hotel; even off-duty security guards were being called in.

The guard who had strode out forced a path through the crowd and called out to the delivery girl, motioning for her to hand over the food. The girl’s eyes lit up as if she’d just been saved.

The handoff was complete.

The man started back, shoving aside the frenzied fans, which earned him a chorus of nasty curses.

“Here you are, Miss! Your food!”

He waved the bag at her from a distance.

“Thank you!”

Jiangg Yao took the food, feeling an indescribable sense of gratitude. After all that trouble, she could finally eat… ’This was way too hard.’

She suddenly had the energy to head back to the elevator, her steps now light as she broke into a trot.

However, Jiangg Yao had no idea how suspicious she looked to others: a girl wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, who also had a distinct air about her, hurrying into the main lobby toward the elevators as if she were making a getaway.

“Is that Lin **?”

“It is her! Holy shit, we finally caught her!”

“Hurry, let’s get an autograph and a picture!!!”

A few girls who had been pretending to be guests, sitting on a sofa and looking around, saw Jiangg Yao’s figure and abruptly shot to their feet.

They had mistaken her for the female singer, who had a similar build.

They screamed an unintelligible name at the top of their lungs, clutching their phones and bags as they charged toward her. Jiangg Yao glanced over curiously, not realizing they were coming for her.

Until the girls forcibly cornered her.

“We finally found you! We’ve been sitting in the hotel lobby for two hours!”

“I’ve been a fan for ten years! I’ve been listening to your songs since middle school, my whole family loves you! Can you please give me an autograph?”

“It’s me, Cheng, from the group chat! I’m the one who helps run your fan club, remember? I go to every single one of your concerts. I never miss one.”

“Me too! Last year, I followed you all the way from Mingzhu City to Port City.”

Jiangg Yao was completely baffled and waved her hands dismissively.

She denied it, saying, “I’m not the celebrity you’re talking about, I’m just a guest at the hotel…”

But the moment Yaoyao spoke, the girls’ eyes grew even brighter—because her voice was the same as their idol’s!

Their shouts for autographs and pictures were deafening. Jiangg Yao dodged around the girls and started to run.

She ran!

They chased!

The bizarre shouting attracted the front desk staff. Two young women in high heels hurried over to block the fans. “Hey! What are you doing? Stop chasing our guest!”

Jiangg Yao didn’t know what she’d done to deserve this. She was pale with fright—these fans were genuinely terrifying!

She scrambled to the elevators, panting heavily and backing away step by step.

The front desk staff caught up, grabbing hold of the frenzied fans and scolding them loudly.

The scene was absolute chaos.

Yaoyao, hands on her sides as she panted, pressed the elevator button. She stepped inside, adjusting the hat that had been knocked askew from all the running. The screams from outside were still clear, as if the fans were possessed.

’I should be safe now, right?’

She patted her chest, her panicked eyes like those of a hunted rabbit.

「The next second.」

The elevator doors, which had not yet fully closed, slid open again. Two guests, intending to take the elevator up, appeared before her eyes.

“What’s going on? Why is the front desk staff fighting with someone?” Jiangg Ning asked, looking back at the scene in surprise.

“I don’t know. They look like fans. There are even support signs outside.”

Chen Yuan turned his head and stepped into the elevator, speaking gently to Ningning… His gaze was about to fall upon the other girl inside.
