194: Chapter 194 Guojing Shopping Mall

Well, my Best Friend was right. Now that we're at the university stage, does everyone in the classroom still talk about whose academic performance is better like they did in middle or high school?

What they usually talk about now is whose fashion sense is better, whose cosmetics are more expensive, or whose boyfriend is richer.

"I wasn't wrong, was I? I didn't follow you on purpose! It's just a coincidence that I'm also buying clothes today," Lv Heng said calmly at this moment.

"Even if that's the case, why can't you just go buy your own clothes? Why do you have to follow us?" Su Jinyang said coldly after snapping out of it.

"Aren't we all classmates? What's wrong with tagging along? Besides, haven't you felt how I've treated you these past few months? Is your heart really made of iron?"

Hearing these words, Su Jinyang's heart remained completely unmoved; she even found it a bit ridiculous.

"I told you a long time ago, I don't want accomplishment-less tenderness. I'm not a child anymore; I won't think about dating you just because you bought me breakfast a few times."

"Why bother wasting so many words on him?"

Qin Huiwen, who was standing to the side, couldn't take it anymore and directly interjected.

"We already told you, Lv Heng, you don't even know where we're going, so how can we take you?"

Lv Heng was stunned for a moment and asked with some confusion.

"Aren't there only a few places to buy clothes? Our classmates either go to the commercial buildings or the New Century Department Store. Aren't you going there too?"

"So you said you wanted to ride in our car without even making things clear. We aren't going there. We're going to National Capital; are you coming?" Qin Huiwen said solemnly.

"You're going to National Capital? Are you kidding me?"

Lv Heng was frightened by her words.

What kind of place was National Capital? That was a paradise where only the wealthy could afford to consume. Was it really a place students like them could afford to go?

He had originally thought that since his family sent him three thousand yuan for living expenses last night, he could go out and enjoy himself a bit.

But if they went to National Capital, three thousand yuan would probably only be enough to buy a single T-shirt, right?

"My Best Friend is right, we are indeed going to National Capital, so do you still want to go now?"

Su Jinyang responded very cooperatively.

Upon hearing this, Lv Heng's expression shifted uncertainly for a moment. Then, as if thinking of something, his face gradually calmed down.

"I'll go. I don't have anything else to do anyway, so I'll just wander around. If you need it, I can also help you carry your bags."

"There's no need for bag carrying. If you want to go, then go."

"Yangyang, you..."

"It's okay, Wenwen." Before her Best Friend could finish, Su Jinyang interrupted her.

"We're all classmates in the same class; there's no need to make things too awkward. If he wants to go, let him go!"

Qin Huiwen rolled her eyes and then pulled her Best Friend to the side.

"Is your soft-heartedness acting up again? What kind of place is National Capital? It would be so embarrassing to have him following us like a utility pole."

Su Jinyang smiled after hearing this.

"Who said he would follow behind us? We can just shake him off when the time comes."

"Do you think you can shake him off? He's like a dog-skin plaster," Qin Huiwen said, glaring at Lv Heng, who was bowing his head to play with his phone nearby.

"It's fine. When we get there, we'll visit a few lingerie shops first. I don't believe he won't feel awkward standing outside the whole time."

Qin Huiwen nodded upon hearing that.

"Alright then, that's the only way!"

"Don't worry, just listen to me. But I say, Wenwen, didn't you want to buy clothes? Why did you suddenly want to go to National Capital?" Su Jinyang asked curiously at this point.

Originally, her Best Friend had made an appointment with her to accompany her to the New Century Department Store to look at clothes today.

But now her Best Friend had suddenly changed her mind and wanted to go to National Capital, which left her a bit puzzled.

After all, her Best Friend couldn't possibly afford to shop in a place like that.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyang added another sentence.

"Could it be that you actually won the lottery you buy every other day?"

"What lottery win! I only won five yuan. Does that count as winning?"

As she spoke, Qin Huiwen rolled her eyes at her Best Friend.

"I only said we were going to National Capital because I wanted to shake off that clingy nuisance of yours!"

"Who knew he'd act like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water."

"You're overreacting. Is it really necessary to take him so seriously? You even specifically said we're going to National Capital just to stop him from hitching a ride," Su Jinyang said, somewhat speechless.

"You have the nerve to say that to me? He's your dog-skin plaster, okay? I only said that because I was afraid you'd be annoyed."

Looking at her Best Friend's face full of resentment, Su Jinyang quickly tried to appease her.

"Fine, it was for my own good. When that Handsome Guy arrives, let's still have him take us to the New Century Department Store!"

Qin Huiwen shook her head upon hearing this and then complained.

"No, if we said we're going to National Capital, we're going to National Capital. If we suddenly run off to New Century Department Store now, who knows what Lv Heng will say about me in class when we get back to school."

"Then if you go to National Capital, are you not buying clothes today?"

"We'll see about the clothes when the time comes. If there's time, I'll buy them; if not, then next time."

As Qin Huiwen spoke, a look of longing appeared on her face.

"It just so happens that I've wanted to visit National Capital for a while to see what it looks like inside."

Su Jinyang sighed at her words.

"What it looks like? How could it look like anything special? After seeing it, you'll just end up having wild fantasies, and then jealousy and envy will become intertwined."

"I just don't know if you're like that, but I certainly am."

"From the sound of it, you've been there before, Yangyang," Qin Huiwen asked curiously.

"I have, but I didn't go to National Capital; I went to likely a mall. However, as the two benchmark representatives of Jiangning's high-end luxury, they should be more or less the same."

"Well, we'll know when we go wander around later."

"Yeah. We've been talking for so long, I haven't asked you yet—when did that Handsome Guy say he'd arrive after you sent the message?"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Qin Huiwen said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I saw that lickspittle of yours coming earlier and forgot to send the message. I'll send it right now."

...

At the same time, Haicheng.

In the Lanfeng International Hotel near the airport.

Xu Wei was lying lazily on the bed, messaging her Best Friend.

「Weiwei: I couldn't tell, you actually knew to use alcohol for liquid courage. So, how was last night?」

Jianhua Building.

Gu Yuqing, who was tapping away at her keyboard, was also speechless upon seeing the reply. Seeing that the files on her computer were almost finished,

She stopped her movements and began chatting with her Best Friend.

「Qingqing Darling: Didn't you tell me before that you drank back then too? And you're still talking about me. As for last night, it was just like you thought—we rolled in the sheets.」

「Weiwei: Back then I drank because my husband bought it himself. You bought it at the supermarket yourself; can that be the same? Let's not talk about that. I want to ask, how many times did you guys go?」

「Qingqing Darling: Are you sick? Why are you asking that?」

「Weiwei: I'm just curious. Hurry up and tell me, or I'll tell hubby that you just bought that wine last night and it wasn't given by the company at all.」

「Qingqing Darling: You're actually using my own words to threaten me. I'm not telling you these things anymore.」

「Weiwei: Alright, I was just joking. Tell me, how many times?」

「Qingqing Darling: Four times.」

「Weiwei: Holy crap, you guys are really intense. You could really handle it, too. But how was it? Was it great?」

「Qingqing Darling: Great my ass, I'm so sleepy right now! It made it so I didn't get to sleep until after three in the morning.」

「Weiwei: My goodness, so how many hours did you exercise for? Was it that ruthless?」

「Qingqing Darling: I said I'm sleepy, why do you keep asking about this topic? When the time comes, I'll tell Li Luo to let him exercise you for a few hours. How about that!」

「Weiwei: I'll pass. I haven't been looked after by an electronic boyfriend, so my resistance isn't as strong as yours.」

...

On the other side.

Li Luo also arrived at the Academy of Arts and successfully picked up the Girl.

He just hadn't expected there to be a boy among them. As for the other Girl, she was within his expectations; after all, the two were together when they met last time.

However, he was only slightly surprised. As long as it wasn't overloaded, everything was fine.

Immediately, Li Luo turned his head, looked at the Girl who had called for his car, and asked.

"Where are you guys going?"

"Handsome Guy, we're going to National Capital."

"National Capital? Alright then, little Handsome Guy, fasten your seatbelt and we'll head out," Li Luo said to the boy in the passenger seat.

"Okay, driver."

Sitting in the back row, Qin Huiwen, at her Best Friend's gesture, spoke with a smile.

"Handsome Guy, we sister don't know your honorable name yet? I wonder if you could tell us."

"Just call me Li Luo. What's with the 'honorable name'? I'm not some big shot," Li Luo said, glancing at the rearview mirror without turning his head.

"Well, Li Luo, after that last time, we never ran into you again when we went for breakfast. Were you just passing by back then?" Su Jinyang took over from her Best Friend and continued asking.

"No, I was renting a house over there before. It's just that I happened not to be in Jiangning for the next few days."

Su Jinyang rolled her eyes after hearing this.

"Renting a house? Li Luo, you really know how to joke. You've already bought a multi-million-dollar sports car, so why would you rent a house? I'd believe it more if you said you had an apartment in some residential complex."

"I tell you and you don't believe me. But that was before; I've already moved out now."

At this point, Li Luo changed the subject and asked in return.

"Do you live in that residential complex?"

"Yes, my Best Friend and I are renting a place over there. Aren't we in our Year 4 now? We spend a bit more time outside," Qin Huiwen replied with a nod.

"So have you found jobs yet? When you asked me last time, I happened not to be in Jiangning for those few days. If you haven't found anything yet, I can ask around for you."

What Li Luo was thinking was that since he had promised them he would keep an eye out, he definitely had to put in some effort.

He planned to first ask the women around him if they knew anyone in the art industry. If not, then he couldn't be blamed.

"We found them. My Best Friend and I are currently doing internships at an institution. But thank you anyway, Li Luo, for still remembering this," Su Jinyang said softly.

Li Luo felt a bit embarrassed after hearing this. He had almost forgotten about it; if this Girl hadn't suddenly called for a car today, he might not have remembered at all.

As for what he just said about the job, it was something he had only just remembered.

Thinking of this, he quickly waved his hand.

"No need to thank me, I didn't really help with anything. But it's good that you found jobs."

Su Jinyang was about to speak when she suddenly felt her sleeve being gently tugged. She turned her head in confusion and saw her Best Friend quietly signaling toward a certain direction.

She then understood, pursed her lips, and looked down at her phone.

「Wenwen: Stop chatting about random things. Don't forget our mission for today. Hurry up and probe him a bit; we're almost at National Capital if you keep dallying.」

After Su Jinyang finished reading, she put down her phone calmly.

After thinking for a moment, she then asked with feigned curiosity.

"Li Luo, is this car you're driving now one you specifically bought for running Ride-hailing service?"

"Yes, that ferrari isn't suitable for Ride-hailing service anyway."

Li Luo didn't think much of the Girl's inquiry; after all, the Two Women had seen his sports car before.

He just assumed they were finding it a bit novel.

Lv Heng, in the passenger seat, was listening in a daze.

From initially suspecting they knew each other to later hearing that this Ride-hailing service driver also had a ferrari sports car.

Even with his brain, which he considered quite clever, he couldn't quite react.

Of course, he wouldn't say anything to interrupt; after all, he wasn't familiar with this driver.

Seeing her Best Friend signaling her, Chen Huiwen's eyes darted around, and she asked in a very casual tone.

"Li Luo, you said you moved away before. Was it just in the last few days that you moved?"

"Yes, it was just in the last couple of days."

"Then which residential complex did you move to? Do we know it?"

"Zhongshan International. Do you know it?"

"Zhongshan International? Of course I do."

Just after Qin Huiwen repeated this sentence, she suddenly trembled all over, her eyes widening as she stared fixedly at him. Only after a long while did she say word by word,

"What did you just say? You... moved to Zhongshan International?"

Not just her, but Su Jinyang and Lv Heng inside the car also had looks of utter shock on their faces.

The name Zhongshan International was naturally famous to them. Not to mention in Jiangning, it was considered a super luxury estate even in the whole of Huaxia.

Because the weather had turned cold, Li Luo had closed all the car windows.

Now, suddenly hearing this scream from the Girl, the sound kept echoing in the car, which also gave him quite a fright.

But since she was a customer after all, he couldn't use too harsh a tone.

So he said with a bit of frustration.

"Beautiful Qin Huiwen, luckily it's daytime. If it were night, I might have been scared to death on the spot by you."

Hearing this, Qin Huiwen couldn't help but blush; she also knew she had indeed lost her composure just now.

But she felt this was just her normal reaction. If it were any other woman hearing that someone driving a ride-hailing car lived in Zhongshan International,

Their reaction would probably be about the same as hers, or maybe even worse.

Of course, other women, without knowing this man had a ferrari, would most likely think he was suffering from a delusional disorder or some psychological illness.

"Li Luo, did you really move to Zhongshan International? You're not lying to us, are you!"

Li Luo smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, no longer paying attention to the Girl's topic.

After all, when he told the truth before, they didn't believe him. Now that it was like this again, what was the point of explaining?
