You used to ignore me, now you can't afford to be near me.

Wang Li stood up.

"Li Wei, let's go too."

Li Wei nodded.

The two walked out of the barbecue restaurant.

The night wind outside was a bit chilly.

Wang Li hugged her arms.

"So cold."

Li Wei only glanced at her, showing no other reaction.

"Get in the car."

The two got into the car.

Li Wei started the engine.

"Shall I take you home?"

Wang Li bit her lip.

"Li Wei."

Li Wei turned his head.

"Hmm?"

Wang Li lowered her head.

"Can... can I ask you a question?"

Li Wei leaned back in his seat.

"What question?"

Wang Li paused.

"Do... do you still remember college?"

Li Wei smiled.

"I do."

Wang Li looked up.

"Then... do you still remember chasing me?"

Li Wei was startled, then chuckled.

"That was years ago, I don't really remember that anymore."

Wang Li bit her lip and glanced at him.

"Then... do you still like me now?"

Li Wei turned his head.

He stared at her for a few seconds.

"What do you think?"

Wang Li was completely stunned.

Li Wei smiled, then said nothing more.

He started the car.

And drove out of the parking space.

Towards the residential area where Wang Li lived.

The car was very quiet.

Li Wei didn't turn on the radio, not even music.

Wang Li sat in the passenger seat, not uttering a single word.

She bit her lip, her hands twisting her skirt hem.

Her mind was filled with Li Wei's words just now.

"What do you think?"

She didn't know how to answer.

She had no idea what Li Wei was thinking.

Half an hour later.

The car stopped at the entrance of Wang Li's residential area.

Li Wei unlocked the car doors.

"We're here."

Wang Li unbuckled her seatbelt.

And pushed open the car door.

Before getting out, she suddenly looked back.

"Li Wei."

Li Wei turned his head.

"Hmm?"

Wang Li bit her lip.

"If... if I said I regretted it, what would you do?"

Li Wei smiled.

"Regret what?"

Wang Li's face turned red.

"Regret... regret not agreeing to be your girlfriend back then."

Li Wei leaned back in his seat, looking at her playfully.

"That's all in the past."

Wang Li clenched her fists.

"Then... do I still have a chance now?"

Li Wei looked at her.

And was silent for a few seconds.

"Sorry, Wang Li, we're not suitable."

Wang Li was completely stunned.

"Why?"

Li Wei turned his head back.

"Because you don't like me."

He paused.

"You only like my current money. If I had nothing now, and was still the same person from college who worked several jobs a day, do you think you'd still say such things?"

Wang Li opened her mouth.

"I..."

Li Wei interrupted her.

"So... hurry back, be careful on the road."

Wang Li bit her lip.

Her eyes reddened.

"Li Wei, is that how you see me?"

Li Wei didn't answer.

Wang Li took a deep breath.

She pushed open the car door and got out.

After a few steps, she looked back again.

"Li Wei, I know I was wrong before."

She paused.

"But I truly regret it."

Li Wei started the engine.

"Good night, goodbye."

Wang Li watched the car drive away.

Standing there, tears streamed down her face... Li Wei drove back to Seaview No. 1.

He parked the car in front of Building A08.

And turned off the engine.

He leaned back in his seat and lit a cigarette.

He took a couple of puffs.

Thinking about what Wang Li had said earlier.

"I regret it."

Li Wei smiled.

Regret?

When he was chasing Wang Li back then, how did she treat him?

Every time he asked her out, she said she was busy.

Every time he gave her a gift, she accepted it but there was no follow-up.

Every time he confessed, she said, "We're not suitable."

And now that she sees he's rich, she says she regrets it?

Li Wei put out the cigarette.

He got out of the car.

Pushed open the door and walked into the house.

The house was very quiet.

He took off his shoes and walked to the sofa to sit down.

"Beep beep"

Yang Yun always managed to send messages at just the right time.

"Done with work?"

Li Wei replied with an "Mm."

Yang Yun replied instantly.

"How was the class reunion?"

Li Wei thought for a moment.

He replied, "It was alright, just some bragging and joking around."

Yang Yun sent a smiling face.

"That's good."

She paused.

"Oh, right, tomorrow night at seven, Yuehai Restaurant, don't forget."

Li Wei replied, "Won't forget!"

Yang Yun sent another message.

"Qin Bing is a bit hot-tempered, don't take it to heart then."

Li Wei smiled.

"I know, why, aren't you going?"

Yang Yun sent a heart emoji.

"I might not be able to make it, I have something else! Alright, I won't bother you anymore for now, good night~"

Li Wei was stunned for a few seconds, then put away his phone.

He stood up.

And walked upstairs.

He showered.

And changed into pajamas.

He lay on the bed.

Took out his phone.

And opened the system panel.

[host: Li Wei]

[Bank Card Balance: 16,012,155 yuan]

[Points: 1500]

[Charm Value: 77 points]

[Item: mysterious blind box × 1]

Li Wei looked at the blind box.

He thought for a moment.

Feeling it was a bit of an eyesore.

He decided to open it anyway.

"Open blind box."

[Ding! Blind box opening...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Beginner Fighting Skill]

[Automatically infused into the host's mind]

Li Wei was startled,

Fighting skill.

And it was just a beginner one.

This seemed a bit like a loss.

But there was nothing he could do.

It was already opened.

At this moment, a flood of information rushed into his mind.

Punching techniques, kicking techniques, wrestling skills, defensive movements.

All of it perfectly clear.

Li Wei rubbed his temples.

This feeling was a bit like leveling up in a game.

He stood up.

And walked to the mirror.

He performed a few cool moves in front of the mirror.

Straight punch, hook, side kick.

The movements were standard, and the power was precise.

Li Wei smiled.

It seemed that this Beginner Fighting Skill wasn't such a loss after all.

At least he could show off a bit at a critical moment.

He returned to bed.

Closed the system panel.

Closed his eyes.

And slowly fell asleep.

The next morning at nine.

Li Wei was woken up by his phone ringing.

He groggily picked up his phone.

Caller ID: Qin Xue.

Li Wei answered.

"Hello?"

Qin Xue's voice was very gentle.

"CEO Li, I apologize for disturbing you so early."

Li Wei stretched and sat up.

"Mm... I was just about to get up anyway, what do you need?"

Qin Xue paused.

"It's like this, for tonight's dinner, my sister said she would arrive early."

Li Wei hummed in acknowledgment.

Qin Xue continued.

"She said she wanted to meet you beforehand."

Li Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Meet me beforehand?"

Qin Xue gave an embarrassed laugh.

"Yes, you know, she's a police officer, it might be a professional habit.

She said she wanted to get to know the person investing in my Studio."

Li Wei thought for a moment.

"I see, what time then?"

Qin Xue said cautiously.

"Five PM, still at Yuehai Restaurant."

Li Wei nodded.

"Alright, I got it."

Hearing Li Wei agree, Qin Xue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then it's settled, CEO Li, you must be busy."

Li Wei hummed in acknowledgment.

And hung up the phone.
