Chapter 408: Chapter 171: If You Never Leave or Forsake Me, I Will Be With You Through Life and Death_3

Before returning to Modu from Shancheng, he left 50,000 yuan for his third uncle to cover Xia Zhining’s school transfer fees. Since they had bought a house in a good school district, the process was just a bit troublesome but not particularly expensive.

"Mm, I know." Xia Zhijin looked at Li Yuan, thinking about everything he had done for her, her grandmother, and her younger brother. She whispered, "Li Yuan, thank you."

"You silly girl." Li Yuan ruffled her hair and smiled. "We’re family now. It’s only right that I do these things."

Hearing Li Yuan consider her family, Xia Zhijin’s eyes brightened, and she nodded earnestly. "Mhm, we are family."

A short while later, the two of them arrived at the Lamborghini parked downstairs from the girls’ dormitory building. The supercar, with its domineering, science-fiction-like design, had already attracted a crowd of curious university students.

"Hey, this sports car looks familiar. Where have I seen it before?"

"Does our school have a rich kid who drives a sports car? I’ve never seen one before."

"I remember now! When I went to Xia Hua’s new book signing today, I think I saw him arrive in this exact car. Could this be Xia Hua’s car?"

"Who is this Xia Hua you’re talking about?"

"Man, you must live under a rock! You don’t even know about the biggest celebrity on our campus—the web novel master and musical genius, Xia Hua? You’re so out of the loop!"

"I don’t read web novels or listen to much music. I just like playing games. Isn’t it normal that I don’t know who he is?"

"Heh, the Xia Hua he’s talking about is that notorious playboy heir who’s all over the school’s Tieba forum. Apparently, he’s juggling multiple relationships and dating two girls from the same dorm at once..."

"Holy crap, so he was talking about *that* rich playboy! I was wondering who it was. This Lamborghini is his? Damn, he’s loaded. No wonder he can have several girlfriends."

"There’s more! I heard that this heir is incredibly generous. He even bought both of his girlfriends at the Finance Academy a sports car each."

Listening to the students chattering about him, Li Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed. He had certainly become famous on campus, but as a cautionary tale.

He stole a glance at Xia Zhijin and saw that her expression was unchanged. Li Yuan breathed a silent sigh of relief.

"Zhijin, once the website our company is developing is officially launched, I’ll take you to get your driver’s license," he said.

Xia Zhijin looked at Li Yuan and shook her head. "Li Yuan, I don’t mind that you bought them cars."

Li Yuan patted her head. "Silly girl, just listen to me. Want to go for a spin in the sports car?"

"No," Xia Zhijin replied, shaking her head again before adding, "I just want to stay here with you."

Li Yuan knew she had a low-key personality, so he didn’t insist. Honestly, while driving a sports car was flashy and turned a lot of heads, it lost its novelty when you did it often. In terms of comfort, it couldn’t compare to a sedan.

Just then, a surprised voice called out to him.

"Yuan, you’re back?"

Li Yuan turned to see Liu Jia, Wu Hao, and Xu Ziqiang jogging toward him.

The three of them glanced with puzzlement at Xia Zhijin holding hands with Li Yuan. Could it be that Xia Zhijin doesn’t know that Li Yuan is juggling multiple girls? That can’t be right. The rumors started in the girls’ dorms, so there’s no way she hasn’t heard. Especially since they all knew that Shen Xiyu, her roommate, had a huge problem with Li Yuan.

They exchanged a look before calling out in unison to Xia Zhijin, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Xia Zhijin flinched like a startled fawn. She nodded shyly and replied in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, "Hello."

Li Yuan looked at Liu Jia and his friends, all clad in basketball jerseys, and smiled. "You three heading off to play basketball?"

Liu Jia nodded. "Yeah, Yuan. Want to join us for a few games? It’s been a week since we last played with you."

Li Yuan shook his head. "Not today, I’m not dressed for it. Maybe some other time. I’m going to take Zhijin for a walk around the campus."

He really was itching to play. It had been eight days, from September 30th to today, October 7th, since he’d last played basketball, and he had been slacking on his workouts too. Between keeping up with four girlfriends, he wished a day had 48 hours and that he had three doppelgängers. Where was he supposed to find the time to play basketball?

Wu Hao grinned mischievously at Li Yuan. "We get it! Yuan’s on a date. Why would he want to play ball with us?"

Xu Ziqiang’s eyes widened with envy as he stared at the Lamborghini parked on the roadside. "Yuan, what made you bring the Lamborghini to school today? Heh, trying to rub it in the faces of all the gossips?"

Liu Jia also saw the sports car and looked eager to try it, though he was too embarrassed to ask. He chimed in, "Definitely! With Yuan’s Lamborghini parked here, all those idiots will shut up for sure."

Wu Hao laughed. "Yuan, why don’t you unlock it right now? Fire it up and give them a taste of that rich-kid shock and awe."

Li Yuan glanced at Wu Hao and teased, "Oh, really? How about I give you the keys and you give it a try?"

Wu Hao’s eyes lit up. "For real, Yuan?"

"Would I lie to you?"

"Catch."

Li Yuan fished the Lamborghini key fob from his pocket and casually tossed it into the air, where it traced a beautiful arc.

Wu Hao scrambled to catch it, his hands trembling as he stared at the key to the supercar, unable to suppress his overwhelming excitement.
