Just as Gao Qiang was about to hang up, a two-tone, silver and blue Rolls-Royce pulled up smoothly beside him. The sunlight glinting off the paint was a bit blinding.
The Rolls-Royce’s window rolled down, and a teasing voice drifted out. "Hey, handsome. You into guys?"
Gao Qiang recognized the familiar voice. Looking down, he saw Wu Yun with one hand resting on the steering wheel, peering out the window at him.
"Damn! Ah Yun, new car again! You’re definitely President Wu’s son! A Rolls-Royce is nothing to you!" Gao Qiang exclaimed loudly.
With that, he reached for where the door handle would normally be, only to grab at empty air. After a moment of inspection, Gao Qiang realized the handle was located toward the front of the door. He pulled it open and slid inside, drawing the stares of many students at the school gate.
"As expected of a luxury car. Even the way the doors open is too much for a bumpkin like me to understand," Gao Qiang joked freely. "This is a Rolls-Royce sports car! I’ve never seen one before! How much? Once I cash out my Bitcoin, I’m going to buy one to flex, too!"
"It’s a Phantom! Not that expensive. It’s two or three million cheaper than a Lambo," Wu Yun said, noticing Gao Qiang was still gawking at everything. "Seatbelt on! Let’s go!"
As he twisted to buckle his seatbelt, Gao Qiang said, "This is so cushy! And here I thought it’d be more expensive than a Lambo! If you ask me, this ride is way more comfortable. If I were rich, I’d definitely pick a grand tourer."
Wu Yun flicked on his left turn signal and glanced in the mirror. Seeing the car behind him slow down, leaving a wide gap, he decisively cut into the other lane.
"Why wait until you have money? You’ve got a chance to be a kept man right now, don’t you?" Wu Yun teased. Gao Qiang had already told him about Zhang Xiaojing.
"No, no, no! It’s hard being a live-in son-in-law! That easy life isn’t so easy to get!" Gao Qiang waved his hands frantically and changed the subject. "So, how are things between you and Bai Yue?! Does she know you have other girlfriends?"
Wu Yun glanced over at Gao Qiang. Thanks to the sunglasses, Gao Qiang couldn’t see the daggers Wu Yun was staring at him. ’Way to touch a sore spot!’
Wu Yun replied testily, "It’s fine. I go to the Capital City every month to see her. As for other girlfriends... all hell would break loose if she found out! You know her temper. She might be easy to talk to, but she has her principles and lines she won’t let anyone cross."
The two chatted about women for another half an hour as they followed the GPS to the Shida Lion Mountain Campus.
Looking at the old, worn-down campus, Wu Yun felt glad he’d been assigned to the new one. ’At least I don’t have to cram into these ’historic’ classrooms with everyone else.’
"Which way from here?" Wu Yun asked.
Gao Qiang turned to him, looking completely lost. "Wait, don’t you go to this school? Why are you asking me? I’ve never been here!"
But Gao Qiang wasn’t stupid. He immediately grabbed his phone and called Zhang Xiaojing.
"Xiaorong! Are you here?" Zhang Xiaojing’s voice rang out from the phone, making Wu Yun burst out laughing. Ever since they had watched Stephen Chow’s *Flirting Scholar*, they had stopped calling Gao Qiang "Xiaorong."
Back then, Gao Qiang would get angry at anyone who called him Xiaorong.
’Who would have thought? Fate comes full circle, and the name ’Xiaorong’ is being pinned on Gao Qiang once more.’
"Okay! Find a spot to park by the gate. We’re walking out now!"
After Gao Qiang hung up, Wu Yun couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out laughing. "Xiaorong! Ohhh, Xiaorong! My dearest Xiaorong! Here you are~"
Gao Qiang’s face flushed crimson. "Ah Yun!" he roared. "I’ll show you the meaning of ’a desperate man’s wrath’! Don’t you dare say that name!"
Wu Yun stifled his laughter. "Alright, alright! Only your Xiaojing gets to call you that! Tsk, tsk... choosing girls over your bros."
Gao Qiang raised a fist, but ultimately dropped it with a sigh of defeat.
Suddenly, Wu Yun pointed out the window. "Is that them?" Six young, stylishly dressed women were walking out of the school gate.
Gao Qiang spotted Zhang Xiaojing in the middle of the group and nodded. "Yup. Let’s go. They want to get hot pot! I know you like spicy food, and that place has dry pot, too."
With that, Gao Qiang opened the door, stepped out, and waved to Zhang Xiaojing, who was still scanning the area for their car.
Zhang Xiaojing stared in surprise at Gao Qiang, who was standing beside the Phantom. She was no stranger to luxury; her family owned a Rolls-Royce Gust, so she was very familiar with the emblem.
"Xiaojing, your boyfriend’s friend is rich! He’s actually driving a Rolls-Royce!" a tall girl with striking, glamorous makeup remarked. She eyed the car’s unique paint, her curiosity piqued about the driver who hadn’t yet emerged.
"Oh, it’s him!" another girl exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Yun stepped out of the car. The combination of his jeans and bomber jacket made his legs look especially long.
"Qianqian, you know him?" Zhang Xiaojing asked, glancing back as she walked toward Gao Qiang.
Liu Qianqian was a rather plain-looking girl, but the way she dressed suggested she came from a well-to-do family.
That figured. Any family that could afford to send their child to study directing at a school like Shida University had to have some money, more or less.
"He’s that famous rich kid from our year, Wu Yun. The video of him at the freshman welcome gala is still pinned to the top of the school forum!"
At Liu Qianqian’s words, the others all recalled the video that had gone viral on the Lishishan Campus.
They had even talked about it back then, wondering why the Lishishan Campus didn’t have any gorgeous underclassmen like him.
"Ah, what a shame." Liu Qianqian sighed. "Finally spot a hottie, and he’s already taken." She gave a quick explanation to the roommates who didn’t frequent the school forum, and by then the group had reached the car.
"Ah Yun! Come on, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Zhang Xiaojing!"
Gao Qiang led Zhang Xiaojing by the hand over to Wu Yun, making the introduction with a cheerful smile.
Wu Yun looked at Zhang Xiaojing, who wasn’t exceptionally beautiful, and said with a smile, "Hi. I’m Gao Qiang’s childhood friend."
After speaking, Wu Yun gave a nod to Zhang Xiaojing’s five roommates by way of greeting.
"Let’s go! I made a reservation at Yishan Residence, it’s only a few minutes’ walk!" Zhang Xiaojing announced. She was today’s organizer.
Soon, the six women were leading the way, with Wu Yun and Gao Qiang trailing behind them.
One of the girls whispered to another, "That Wu Yun doesn’t seem easy to get close to. He’s got a really strong presence! Zitong, I feel like he’d be a good match for you! You two have such similar temperaments!"
Li Zitong, the one with the cool, glamorous style, replied calmly, "He might be handsome and rich, but I’m not shameless enough to go be the other woman."
"Besides, it’s too early to be thinking about that. I’m not looking to date right now. I’d rather spend my time on my major, or traveling whenever I want on a whim."
Just as Li Zitong finished speaking, a sweet-faced girl in a winter schoolgirl uniform, who had been quiet until now, suddenly asked, "Guys, do you think this Wu Yun is the same Wu Yun that was in the news?"
All eyes turned to the phone in her hand. The headline on the screen read: "Tencent Acquires Stake in Little Red Car! Nation’s Youngest Billionaire Emerges!"
