It had been over half a month since Li Yuan last saw Jiang Zhiyu. That was right before the military training that kicked off the university semester, and he had been completely charmed when they met in person.
Since that day, they had chatted almost every day on QQ or over the phone, with Little Fish often taking the initiative. Without them fully realizing it, their relationship had begun to transform from ’author and die-hard fan’ to one of mutual flirtation. Little Fish barely tried to hide her affection for him; it was obvious every time they spent hours on the phone or exchanged messages.
Seeing Jiang Zhiyu in a different outfit, Li Yuan’s eyes lit up. Dressed like this, Little Fish truly looked like a young lady from a wealthy, distinguished family.
The moment Jiang Zhiyu saw Li Yuan, she flew into his arms. "Xia Hua, I’ve missed you so much!"
Li Yuan returned the hug, lightly patting her back, his heart thumping nervously. I’m definitely not feeling guilty.
He released Jiang Zhiyu and said with a relaxed smile, "Little Fish, I’ve been pretty busy recently. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Jiang Zhiyu’s bright eyes curved into crescents, revealing two faint dimples that made her seem exceptionally playful and lively.
"Xia Hua, come with me! I’ll show you the gift I prepared."
"Oh? What did you get for me, Little Fish?"
Li Yuan was incredibly curious. The young heiress had told him half a month ago that she was getting him a gift he didn’t have. He had speculated about all the possibilities, and today, the mystery would finally be revealed.
Jiang Zhiyu boldly took Li Yuan’s hand without a hint of shyness. They were on the bustling street right outside her university, where classmates and friends could easily spot them, but she was completely unabashed.
Little Fish led Li Yuan forward about a hundred meters before stopping.
"Xia Hua, this is the gift I got for you."
Jiang Zhiyu pointed to an object enclosed in a huge box.
As someone who had been bombarded with information from the future, Li Yuan’s mind instantly jumped to one conclusion when he saw the giant box. A wave of genuine surprise hit him. Looking at the cute, playful Jiang Zhiyu, his body trembled slightly as he asked uncertainly, "Little Fish, is your gift... a car?"
Jiang Zhiyu squeezed his hand, grinning. "You’re so smart, Xia Hua! This model isn’t available off the lot in Modu; it was just released this year. It took some time—over half a month—to have it imported."
The words "off the lot" and "imported" made Li Yuan’s heart pound. A massive wave of excitement flooded his chest, and his adrenaline surged. If there was one dream from my past and current life that remained unfulfilled, this had to be it.
"Little Fish, don’t tell me you got me a sports car?" Li Yuan’s voice trembled.
Even though he had earned over thirty million yuan from the lottery, stocks, and his writing since his rebirth, he still couldn’t bring himself to spend several million on a supercar. Not yet, anyway. Once his game launched and his assets surpassed one hundred million, he would definitely buy one to see what it was like. He was just a regular guy, and as such, his desires were just as ordinary: a house, a car, money, and women.
Jiang Zhiyu covered her mouth to hide a giggle. She led Li Yuan toward the massive container, where several staff members in suits stood waiting. "Go on, Xia Hua," she said. "Open it and see for yourself."
His heart pounding with anticipation, Li Yuan approached the enormous box. With the help of a staff member, he opened the hatch.
The rear of a supercar emerged. The emblem was all too familiar to him.
"Holy crap... no way, is this a Lamborghini?!"
Li Yuan exclaimed in amazement. It was the dream of practically every man to own a sports car like a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, or a Porsche. He was no exception, having fantasized about it himself. But it had always been just a fantasy; he never dared to seriously consider it, let alone rent one for a test drive.
Lamborghinis were a special case. Any one of their cars cost millions and was far rarer than a Ferrari or a Porsche. Before his rebirth, Porsches had become so common you could even see them in small county towns. A Lamborghini, however, was a rare sight.
A staff member from Lamborghini approached, bowed respectfully to Li Yuan, and began the introduction. "Mr. Li, this is the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640, newly released this year and nicknamed ’the Bat.’ This model features a mid-engine, all-wheel drive, and a V12 naturally aspirated engine producing 580 horsepower. Its 0-100 km/h acceleration time is just 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 350 km/h..."
Li Yuan was stunned. It was even a limited-edition model. He wasn’t familiar with this particular black Lamborghini, but judging by its stunning design alone, it had to be incredibly valuable—worth several million at the very least.
While the representative was introducing the car to Li Yuan, other staff members had already dismantled the entire box, revealing the vehicle in its full glory.
Li Yuan excitedly walked a full circle around the supercar. With every step, his shock and delight grew until the thrill became almost unbearable.
Balloons and streamers floated up into the air. A large bouquet of fresh flowers with a note attached to it rested on the hood of the car.
