Study Room

“Alright, let’s go.”

Once Zhang Ting finished tidying up, the group of five arrived at the parking lot.

Looking at the low-slung body of the Lamborghini, Zhang Ting felt a stir in her heart.

Before, she could only watch these supercars from afar, content to be a backdrop.

Today, she could finally sit inside and become the main character.

Most people aren't born with such a car, and the hope of owning one in this lifetime isn't very high.

“Hmm? Get in the car, what are you standing there for?” Chen Xiao said.

“Oh, oh, alright.”

Zhang Ting came back to her senses and, with an excited heart, sat in the passenger seat of the Lamborghini.

Lei Yong and the others got into the Range Rover behind them.

“Vroom vroom~~”

The supercar's engine roared twice, and its speed immediately picked up.

Zhang Ting's palms, gripping the handle, were covered in sweat.

The strong push-back feeling was incredibly exhilarating.

The Lamborghini, outside Jinning, was like a yellow lightning bolt.

It flew close to the ground with lightning speed.

Only when it entered the city's outer ring and merged with traffic was the beast's movement restricted.

Its occasional deep growls seemed to express its dissatisfaction at being confined.

Zhang Ting clearly saw countless envious gazes directed their way.

This car, built with 8 million in cash, was enough to allow its owner to enjoy such widespread attention.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Ting's heart pounded; this was the feeling she had dreamt of, this kind of life was what she had always fantasized about.

Today, it finally came true; her efforts and pain were not in vain...

Chen Xiao drove the Lamborghini directly back to the company.

In the underground parking lot of Teng Xiao Capital, Zhang Ting saw several other luxury cars.

A Ferrari, a Mercedes-Benz, and... a Volkswagen?

“Let’s have lunch together, then go back to school in the afternoon,” Chen Xiao said.

“Oh, alright.”

After Zhang Ting spoke, she saw a driver beside them open the rear door of the Volkswagen for Chen Xiao...

She hadn't held much expectation for the Volkswagen, but when she got inside, she realized it was different.

The interior of this “Volkswagen” was more luxurious than anything she had ever seen.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the world of the wealthy truly held no ordinary things...

Due to the nature of her work, Zhang Ting had previously entered and exited five-star Hotels, so she wasn't constrained when accompanying Chen Xiao; the handsome man and beautiful woman even seemed somewhat well-matched.

Normally, Chen Xiao ate very quickly, usually finishing his meal in about ten minutes.

But today, he ate for two hours before walking out of the private room with a blushing Zhang Ting and returning to school.

The understated phaeton stopped downstairs at Zhang Ting's dormitory building.

“Mwah—!”

Zhang Ting kissed Chen Xiao on the cheek and said, “Then I’m leaving, okay?”

Chen Xiao nodded, “Are you going home for the summer vacation? Someone will contact you in a few days to book your ticket.”

“Mwah mwah~~”

“Thank you.”

Zhang Ting obediently didn't ask what kind of ticket Chen Xiao booked; she kissed him again and then turned and left.

“Brother Liu, drop me off at the dorm building, then you can go back.”

“Yes, boss.”

Behind Building 5, Chen Xiao got out in a less crowded area.

“Holy cow, Xiao Zi, who dropped you off?”

Chen Xiao was startled; it was Liu Xin speaking.

He was squatting on the curb, a nearly burnt-out cigarette between his fingers.

Chen Xiao looked around; there was no one else here, not even a passing girl, which made him curious.

“I took a black cab. What are you doing here? There’s not a soul around. Are you staking me out?”

Liu Xin took another drag, “Sigh, I’m just depressed, my stock fell again.”

“......” Chen Xiao.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t afraid? Go work and earn it back.”

“Get lost! I said that when I was showing off. It’s already fallen, what else can I do?”

“You freaking...”

“Let’s go, back to the dorm first. Final exams are coming up soon, and you’re still thinking about your broken stock,” Chen Xiao said.

“Damn it, the money’s gone, why bother with exams? Anyway, I can’t graduate if I can’t pay tuition.” Liu Xin was exceptionally frustrated today.

Chen Xiao cursed, “You idiot, if the money’s gone, earn it back! What if you earn the money and find out you failed too many courses and can’t graduate?”

“Sigh.” Liu Xin sighed, stood up, “Don’t say anything else, where can I find work? I’ll go do it.”

“We’ll talk about that later. If you stay here any longer, you’ll get heatstroke. Hurry back to the dorm.”

After much persuasion, he finally got Liu Xin, that simpleton, back to the dorm.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Ji's eyes lit up, “Xiao Ge, got a cigarette?”

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes, pulled out three, and distributed them.

Xiao Ji then said, “Hey? Professor Liu, weren’t you heartbroken and ran away from home? You’re back so soon?”

Chen Xiao was stunned, “You damn... you were on the verge of death downstairs... it wasn’t because of stock, it was heartbreak?”

“Cough cough... saying it was heartbreak, wouldn’t that be embarrassing...”

Chen Xiao stepped forward and snatched the cigarette, “Don’t you dare smoke anymore! You even tricked your own dad, you deserve to lose everything!”

Liu Xin: “......”

“Jerk, give me a cigarette...”

Unable to get a cigarette from Chen Xiao, Liu Xin set his sights on Xiao Ji, who had ruined his plans.

While he was engrossed in a fierce game battle, Liu Xin grabbed his cigarette and ran.

“Holy cow! You beast, stop...”

The two rushed out of the dorm one after another. Chen Xiao smiled, went to the bathroom for a quick shower, and lay on his bed, preparing for a nap.

Just then, Li Wenli suddenly sent a message.

【Going to the study room this afternoon?】

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and replied:

【Okay, send me the location. I'll go after I wake up.】

After replying, Chen Xiao turned off his phone. Soon after, Xiao Ji returned, cursing and grumbling.

Chen Xiao fell asleep peacefully amidst the noise.

At three in the afternoon, the weather was still scorching.

Xiao Ji was playing a game, and Liu Xin was studying macroeconomics.

Chen Xiao looked at the two simpletons in the dorm and suddenly burst out laughing.

“Xiao Ge, you’re awake? Got a cigarette?”

“......”

Chen Xiao was speechless.

“Damn it, Liu Xin, that dog, snatched the last one,” Xiao Ji added.

Chen Xiao got off the bed, threw the crumpled half-pack of soft Huazi from his pocket to Xiao Ji, and then took a new pack of 1916 from his cabinet.

“Holy cow! Xiao Ge, you’re giving them all to me?”

“Yeah, you have fun in the dorm. I’ll bring you dinner tonight.”

Xiao Ji's eyes shone as he looked at Chen Xiao, more amiable than looking at his own father.

“No words needed, Xiao Ge, take care.”

......

Chen Xiao didn't bring anything except a phone in his pocket. He passed by the commercial street, bought two cups of fruit juice, and then walked towards the study room.

Towards the end of each semester, study room resources became very scarce; it was the most rampant time for cramming activities.

Li Wenli was diligently studying.

On her exotic and beautiful face, there was a rosy, delicate blush.

Her naturally curly hair was damp and stuck to her forehead.

She looked exceptionally captivating. In the study room, at least a fifth of the people weren't focused on studying, frequently looking back and secretly glancing at Li Wenli.

“Drink some juice,” Chen Xiao said softly as he sat beside her.

Then he wiped away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Seeing Chen Xiao, Li Wenli immediately smiled sweetly.

“Hehe, thank you, I was just thirsty.”

Upon seeing this scene, a fifth of the desperate single dogs in the study room instantly left...

Li Wenli knew he didn't like carrying a bag, so she specifically prepared books for Chen Xiao, taking them out of her bag and placing them on the table.

“Here, review these few first.”

Chen Xiao rested his elbow on the books, smiling as he looked at Li Wenli.

“I don’t know how; you teach me.”

“......” Li Wenli.

As this 'dog food' was scattered, the number of people in the study room dwindled.

Chen Xiao and Li Wenli leaned close together, very near each other.

He inhaled the refreshing fragrance and felt the warm, smooth touch.

Chen Xiao wore a look of enjoyment; as for what Li Wenli was quietly saying, he barely heard any of it.

“You’re annoying!”

Li Wenli said softly, blushing, “Can’t you be honest for a moment? There are so many people here...”

“It’s fine, you’re blocking them; others can’t see.”

“......” Li Wenli.
