Chapter 409: Chapter 171: If You Never Leave or Forsake Me, I Will Be With You Through Life and Death_4

"Yuan, the way you just tossed those car keys was totally badass."

I really want to try that, Wu Hao thought, but he didn’t dare. It was a supercar worth millions. He couldn’t afford to pay for it even if he sold himself. "This Lamborghini key is really something else. It looks so high-end and classy."

Reluctantly, Wu Hao carefully handed the keys back to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan chuckled. "Alright, when I’m free, I’ll take you guys for a spin. You all go play basketball. I’m going to walk around the campus with Zhijin."

Watching the retreating figures of Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin holding hands, Liu Jia and the others exchanged glances, seeing the shock and envy in each other’s eyes.

Liu Jia sighed in admiration. "Yuan is my role model. His skill at charming girls is truly admirable. We couldn’t learn that in ten years."

"Yuan has two other girlfriends at the Finance Academy, so why didn’t he go comfort them?" Wu Hao suddenly asked, puzzled. "Does this mean he’s made a decision? Has he given up the others to be with Xia Zhijin?"

Xu Ziqiang shook his head, muttering, "I don’t think so. It’d be too much of a loss for Yuan to give up now. He even bought them sports cars. Damn, with that kind of money, what kind of beauty couldn’t he get in Modu? Even hooking up with a few third-tier starlets would be no problem."

Liu Jia had seen Zhong Tingyue before, whereas Wu Hao and Xu Ziqiang had not. In terms of looks alone, Zhong Tingyue was more beautiful than most celebrities. Her aloof, goddess-like demeanor was arguably more appealing than the worldly air of many stars. Of course, that all came down to a man’s personal preference.

Liu Jia laughed. "Who knows what’s really going on? Yuan definitely has his own plans. He’s much smarter than us."

The school’s biannual basketball tournament was starting next week. Yuan was the main player for their class, so he didn’t have time to practice with them.

A lewd grin spread across Xu Ziqiang’s face. "Heh heh, Yuan might not be practicing basketball with us, but he’s definitely ’practicing’ elsewhere. Who knows, he might even be practicing all sorts of fancy ’ball handling’."

Liu Jia and Wu Hao froze for a second before understanding what Xu Ziqiang meant.

"Qiang, you’re getting more and more perverted," they chided with a laugh. "When we see Yuan, we’re definitely telling him."

A shiver went down Xu Ziqiang’s spine as he imagined the scene.

"Damn it, don’t throw me under the bus! I was just joking," he pleaded. "If Yuan finds out, he’ll probably hit me with a raging bull charge. My skinny frame would be shattered."

Liu Jia chuckled. "Haha, that’s what you get for that big mouth of yours. Fine, if you don’t want us to tell him, you’re buying dinner tonight."

Xu Ziqiang’s face fell. "Great," he muttered. "Looks like I’ll be eating dirt for the rest of the month. I really wish I could cling to Yuan’s mighty thigh."

Wu Hao laughed. "Who doesn’t? Unfortunately, we’re not pretty girls like Xia Zhijin. We burly guys don’t stand a chance. Oh, great saints above, please grant me a rich lady!"

At the north gate of Daxia School, Gu Lanxin pulled up in her red Beetle with Zhong Tingyue.

"Tingyue, if anything upsetting happens at school, you have to tell Mom," Gu Lanxin said, unable to hide her worry as she took in her daughter’s haggard appearance.

Zhong Tingyue gazed at the familiar girls’ dormitory, a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind.

"Mom, I know. You can go home now."

Still worried, Gu Lanxin added, "Little Moon, if you run into that roommate of yours, please try to avoid a conflict. If it gets too bad, we’ll find a way to get you into a different dorm."

"Mm, I’m heading to my room now." Zhong Tingyue gave a slight nod and turned toward the dormitory.

What must be faced, must be faced. Running away is useless. Whether it’s Li Yuan or Bai Weixi, I have to face them both.

Zhong Tingyue put on a face mask and sunglasses to hide her red, swollen eyes from crying and walked toward her dorm.

The moment she inserted the key and pushed open the door, she saw that all five of her roommates were there, including Bai Weixi.

"Tingyue, you’re back?"
