31: Chapter 32 The Million-Dollar Watch

After hearing He Chuli's voice, An Xin walked over. His gaze fell on the handbag in her hand, and he raised an eyebrow as he said, "Why are you here?"

Come to think of it, he and He Chuli had only interacted last night.

Even after arriving at the police station, the two of them were locked in separate interrogation rooms and had no communication whatsoever.

Now that He Chuli had managed to find her way here directly, it was somewhat beyond An Xin's expectations.

"Isn't it because I wanted to come and see my benefactor? You helped me with such a big favor, so naturally, I have to show my gratitude properly!"

He Chuli tossed her hair in a haughty manner.

She had even gone out of her way to ask for his contact information.

"This is a gift I prepared for you."

He Chuli handed over the item in her hand.

"Hurry up and open it to see if you like it!"

An Xin took the opportunity to open the bag, and inside was a Patek Philippe watch.

A watch of this brand, even the most ordinary model, costs over a million. It was enough to see how sincere He Chuli was in giving this gift.

"Put it on and let's see. I specifically chose it based on your style!"

With a smile on her face, He Chuli grabbed An Xin's hand without allowing any refusal, fastened the watch onto his wrist, and swayed it around twice in satisfaction.

"Not bad, as expected of the watch I chose. It looks so good on your wrist!"

He Chuli didn't mention the price of the watch at all; after all, her own life was priceless.

"It certainly looks good. I never thought I would have the talent to be a kept man."

An Xin said, teasing himself.

However, with his current net worth and the system, it was only a matter of others living off him; he wouldn't need to live off someone else.

"If you want to live off me, you are welcome anytime. After all, I really like your type!"

He Chuli burst into laughter, tossed her hair stylishly, and took out her phone.

"Since you want to live off a woman, let's exchange contact information so you can reach out to me anytime."

Li Tao and the others' eyes widened instantly. Holy crap, does someone with An Xin's current net worth really need to live off a woman?

But that wasn't the main point; another girl had actually taken the initiative to ask for An Xin's contact information!

They had already lost count of how many this was.

"I already have a girlfriend, so I'll just live off my girlfriend in the future."

The moment He Chuli took out her phone, Gao Qilan poked An Xin's back with her finger. Although she didn't say anything, she carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

An Xin immediately understood, pulled Gao Qilan in front of him, and said.

The smile on He Chuli's face instantly stiffened, and her gaze swept over Gao Qilan without leaving a trace.

With the careful styling from her roommates, the current Gao Qilan was becoming more and more similar to that figure from An Xin's past life.

Apart from lacking that bit of confidence in her bones, she was almost indistinguishable.

He Chuli considered herself an extremely dazzling presence, but compared to Gao Qilan, she seemed to be slightly inferior.

"It doesn't matter. If you ever want to live off me in the future, you can come anytime. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

He Chuli withdrew her gaze calmly and said, pretending to be completely unbothered.

"Even if he's going to live off someone, it will definitely be me. You don't need to concern yourself with it, miss."

With someone blatantly eyeing her boyfriend right in front of her, Gao Qilan wasn't one to be pushed around.

She immediately retorted, hooking An Xin's arm around her waist, showcasing her triumphant stance.

"Alright, I won't tease you guys anymore. I'll be going now."

After knowing that An Xin already had a girlfriend, it was impossible for He Chuli not to feel disappointed.

But she quickly adjusted her emotions, said something with a smile, and left directly.

"You just love attracting trouble for me outside."

Gao Qilan held An Xin's waist, feeling unhappy.

"It was purely an accident. I didn't expect her to find her way to the school. Besides, I only helped her yesterday; there was absolutely no other interaction."

An Xin wished he could hold up three fingers right now to prove his innocence.

"Next time she comes over, you are not allowed to talk to her. In the future, I will definitely work hard to let you live off me!"

This first confrontation had already brought significant pressure to Gao Qilan. She hugged An Xin tightly, suddenly looked up, and said firmly.

"There's no need to support the family. That kind of thing should be left to the man; you just focus on being beautiful."

An Xin was momentarily torn between laughter and tears. He had just said it casually, but Gao Qilan had taken it firmly to heart.

"I'll treat you to dinner at the cafeteria later. What do you want to eat?"

Gao Qilan's emotions came and went quickly. She soon sorted out all her thoughts, tugged at An Xin's sleeve, and walked toward the cafeteria with great interest.

"Anything works for me."

In the afternoon, after finishing military training, while on the way back to the dormitory, An Xin received a message from He Chuli.

"Those bastards, Cheng Xiao and the others. The evidence is conclusive; it is estimated that a prison sentence of two or three years is unavoidable. Finally, they won't be able to come out and harm others!"

These hoodlums had previously been walking completely on the edge of the law.

They didn't actively break any laws, yet they displayed their arrogance to the fullest.

Several times they had almost crossed the line, but with the protection of lawyers, they managed to avoid jail time.

But this time, Cheng Xiao had both staged a scam and drugged someone, completely touching the bottom line of the law. It was impossible to let him off so lightly this time.

And after He Chuli sent this message, the system's notifications followed one after another.

[Congratulations to the Host for achieving the "Flower Protector" achievement!]

[Reward: A storefront on Jinghai First Street!]

[Reward: Beginner Fighting Skills!]

After hearing this reward from the system, An Xin was so excited he almost jumped up.

Jinghai First Street, isn't that the famous commercial street inside the Second Ring Road?

Don't let the name fool you; although it's tacky, it is undeniably a dominant force!

Other commercial streets are, to a greater or lesser extent, modeling themselves after Jinghai First Street.

Here, let alone a storefront, even in the most inconspicuous alleyway, a 10-square-meter shop costs tens of millions.

And a storefront starts at a minimum of hundreds of millions!

Just collecting rent every year is enough to achieve financial freedom!

Good heavens, this is like directly handing him a cash cow.

The corners of An Xin's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Cheng Xiao, oh Cheng Xiao, you really are a great benefactor of mine, taking the initiative to send me the 'Flower Protector' achievement. Sigh, I'll just consider this two or three-year prison sentence a reward from me to you."

Moreover, this time the system even rewarded two things, Fighting Skills!

The moment he clicked to claim it, countless moves appeared in An Xin's mind, including how to throw a punch, how to swing, and how to deal with enemies—they all appeared at once.

Even this fighting technique automatically helped An Xin review the previous battle.
