System: Master Your Life-Chapter 801 - 98: Stargazing with Yu Xinyan, Young Master Xu Shakes the Programming World (Part 2)

"Dummy, the day after tomorrow will be November. Last mid-November, I was already wearing thick clothes!"

"I forgot. Let's go shopping for clothes then, but let's grab a meal first. Did you have lunch?"

"I did, at your university cafeteria."

"What did you eat?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Yu Xinyan told him what she had for lunch.

As for the matter with Ning Yuhuan, Yu Xinyan didn't mention it.

She actually added Ning Yuhuan as a friend.

The two of them found a place to have a meal.

Yu Xinyan said she hadn't seen him for over twenty days, so she was hosting this meal.

They ate at a regular restaurant, and the bill was over two hundred for the two, which wasn't too expensive.

Yu Xinyan also mentioned that she received the national scholarship for her freshman year.

Surprisingly, among those around Xu Lin, Yu Xinyan, Ning Yuhuan, and Rong Xiyi all received the national scholarship.

The three girls are quite outstanding, at least when it comes to academic performance.

At a prestigious university, there are a hundred to even three hundred spots for the national scholarship each year. While the seats are numerous, it's still tough to vie for one as there are so many excellent students, every one of them a standout at their respective high schools. To be among the top of these standouts is certainly challenging.

People like Ning Yuhuan rank first in her major and have always worked hard.

If it weren't for Xu Lin leading in front, Rong Xiyi would be first in grade points too.

Yu Xinyan didn't rank first in grade points; she was just at third place last semester, with two others ahead of her.

Jiangdu University isn't like Finance University. At Finance University, your score can only get you in there or similar-level institutions.

But at Jiangdu University, the students are annually the small fraction of the country's best, who score 150 in math only because 150 is the highest score, not because their limit is 150.

Thus, Yu Xinyan is usually very busy because there are so many excellent people around her, forcing her to work hard to keep up and not fall behind.

After satisfying their hunger, Yu Xinyan and Xu Lin left the restaurant.

It was conveniently a shopping mall downstairs, so they could easily buy clothes, with many famous brands available here.

However, they didn't buy from any big brands. Though Yu Xinyan had money, Xu Lin didn't let her splurge.

Just a little gesture is sufficient.

Yu Xinyan bought two trendy jackets for Xu Lin, and three pieces each of short sleeves, and long pants.

Xu Lin wears short sleeves in winter and never wears long sleeves; Yu Xinyan knows him too well.

Later, they had loads of bags.

Fortunately, Xu Lin came with four wheels today; otherwise, if it were two wheels, there wouldn't be enough space for so many things.

After shopping, it was already seven in the evening.

It's nearly November and already dark at this time.

Moreover, the temperature varies significantly between day and night, and it's quite chilly in the evening.

Yu Xinyan wore a thin jacket, but Xu Lin was still in short sleeves.

"Are you cold?"

A cold breeze swept over, prompting Yu Xinyan to ask Xu Lin.

"Refreshing!"

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, look at my arm. If it were cold, I'd definitely have goosebumps, but do you see any goosebumps?"

"Seems like none."

Yu Xinyan leaned closer to examine Xu Lin's arm seriously, confirming there were no goosebumps.

Xu Lin: "So wearing short sleeves is fine. It's not yet cold enough for me to wear two layers. By the way, when's your plan to return tonight?"

Yu Xinyan shook her head.

"I'm not going back tonight, and it's still so early. It's hard to get to see you."

Yu Xinyan held Xu Lin's hand with a slightly aggrieved look.

"So where do you want to go?"

Xu Lin asked her, who shook her head. "I don't know."

"Let me think of a fun place to take you."

"What fun place?" Yu Xinyan's eyes sparkled expectantly.

"Thinking about it, aren't I?"

After pondering for a while, when Xu Lin accidentally looked up at the sky, he noticed some stars.

Though it's scattered since they are in the city center.

"How about we find a place to watch the stars?"

"Oh, let's go watch the stars!"

Upon hearing about star-gazing, Yu Xinyan got excited.

"Xu Lin, where are we going? Up the mountain? I've heard that going to the countryside for a hike, where the air quality is better, offers a better view of the stars at night."

"Hiking is boring; it's more interesting to watch stars on the water."

"On the water?"

"Follow me, you'll see, definitely more fun than hiking!"

Xu Lin's mind sparkled, knowing that when taking a girl out, shopping, movies, the usual stuff are mundane.

Plus, there's hardly any engagement.

Girls want some romance.

Does romance cost money?

A little money is definitely worth spending.

The place Xu Lin took Yu was the lake he visited with Xia Xiyao last time.

Rowing.

Once the fee was paid again, Xu Lin and Yu boarded one of the small boats.

There were four oars tied to the boat, grab them to row.

Xu Lin was at the front, Yu Xinyan at the back.

"See that red line ahead? We'll row out there."

"Can we go outside? Seems like we aren't allowed to."

"Just sneak out."

"Then let's sneak out!"

Yu Xinyan, feeling a rebellious itch, got excited hearing about sneaking out.

Ten minutes later.

"Is rowing tiring?"

Xu Lin turned back to glance at her.

"Not tiring, and rather fun."

"Then take a look at the sky."

Xu Lin pointed at the sky.

She looked up; sure enough, many stars were visible here.

Moreover, it's the tenth lunar day, just a few days until the full moon, so the moon was bright too.

And the sky was clear.
