"Su Xuan, guess who this is?"
The voice on the phone was sweet and cloying, as if it had oozed from a honey jar.
"How would I know who you are?"
"If you don’t say, I’m hanging up."
Su Xuan started his tricycle; he still had a full load of packages to deliver today. Last ti, the system had rewarded him with shares in Kangnai Private Hospital, which boosted his motivation trendously. Besides, the system is upgradable, and all sorts of benefits are waiting for in the future!
"Hey, Su Xuan, you’re still so cold!" the voice on the phone sighed. "I’m your high school classmate, Yang Xinxin! Have you forgotten ?"
"Oh. Is there sothing you need?" Su Xuan asked flatly.
Yang Xinxin was indeed his high school classmate—they had even sat at adjoining desks—but they had lost contact after graduation.
"Can’t I call you just to chat?" Yang Xinxin sounded displeased. In high school, she had really liked Su Xuan and had even written him love letters, only to be ignored. Back then, her looks were considered top-three in their class! It was hard to believe that after so many years, Su Xuan was still so distant. Why can’t he be like other n and show a little warmth? Even if he won’t fawn over , can’t he at least be polite?
"Then hurry up and tell what it is. I still have deliveries to make," Su Xuan said.
"What?" Her voice imdiately sounded strange. "You’re not joking, are you? You’re a courier?" Su Xuan was such a good student back then. How did he end up as a courier? This is truly... a case of life’s unpredictability!
"Yes, a courier," Su Xuan replied, pursing his lips.
"Ah, being a courier is pretty good, too. I especially like couriers; they contribute so much to society and are such admirable people!" Yang Xinxin suddenly gushed, but it sounded completely fake. "Su Xuan, I contacted you because I genuinely need your help," she continued. "I received a notice from our class monitor, Liu Yiming, saying our Teacher Wang is ill. You must have gotten the notice too, right? I really want to visit Teacher Wang with everyone else. Right now, I’m at Imperial Capital Airport, but I can’t seem to get a ride. Can you co pick up?"
"I’m busy," Su Xuan rejected her without a second thought.
He didn’t believe for a second that she couldn’t get a ride from the airport. If she couldn’t get a taxi, she could always get a rideshare, couldn’t she? He also rembered that Yang Xinxin was exactly the type to take advantage of others. Believing herself to be quite attractive, she had always felt entitled to demand favors from the boys in class and would even boast about it to the other girls.
Just then, the manager of the delivery station, Lu Dachun, walked over. "Hey, Su Xuan, don’t worry about deliveries today!"
JANGLE!
Lu Dachun snatched the keys from Su Xuan’s tricycle and said with a beaming smile, "You’ve got the day off. You don’t need to deliver packages. Just take a break!"
"What’s going on?" Su Xuan was stunned.
"You haven’t heard?" Lu Dachun whispered mysteriously, "The news this morning broadcast the story of you saving soone. The leaders at headquarters saw it and were very pleased. They’ve specially granted you a day off! You can’t refuse; it’s an order from the top!"
With that, Lu Dachun walked off with Su Xuan’s tricycle keys, still smiling broadly. He was genuinely happy, as he, too, had received praise from the higher-ups. It was truly a shared honor.
"Su Xuan, did your boss give you the day off?" Yang Xinxin, having overheard the first part of Lu Dachun’s words, said excitedly, "Now you can’t say you’re busy, right? Hurry and co pick up!"
She hadn’t heard the second part that Lu Dachun had deliberately whispered.
"Uh... all right," Su Xuan reluctantly agreed. They were classmates, after all.
Yang Xinxin asked, "You have your own car, right?"
Su Xuan replied, "...Yes."
「An hour later.」
"Su Xuan, are you here yet?" Yang Xinxin, growing impatient in the airport terminal, couldn’t help but call him.
The real reason she was so insistent on having Su Xuan pick her up was to show off and put him in his place. She had married a wealthy man! Her marital ho was a 300-square-ter house. Her car was a two-million-yuan Porsche Panara. She was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, and the bag slung over her arm alone was worth thirty thousand yuan.
She desperately wanted Su Xuan to see what she looked like now, to see how successful she had beco. You rejected back then, didn’t you? Well, now I’m completely out of your league! Even if you ca crawling back to , I wouldn’t have you!
Yes, she still held a grudge over the love letter incident. Besides that, she also wanted to flaunt her status in front of their old classmates. Visiting Teacher Wang was just a pretext; so many years had passed since graduation that any sentint had long since faded.
"I’ve arrived," Su Xuan’s voice ca through the phone. "Parking Lot 2."
"Wait there."
Yang Xinxin stood up and headed for Parking Lot 2. As she walked, she pulled out her phone and started a video call with a group chat of her best friends. Three or four won’s faces appeared on the screen.
"Xinxin, are you there yet?"
"Did you get that school hunk Su Xuan to co?"
"Quick, flip the cara! We want to see what he looks like!"
Her friends chattered away. They knew Yang Xinxin’s goal for the trip was to show off and get so revenge, and they were eager to see her put Su Xuan in his place. It appealed to their gossipy nature.
"Everyone, quiet down and listen to !" Yang Xinxin said maliciously into her phone as she walked. "Su Xuan’s career is a total failure. He’s actually a courier, hahaha! I’m on my way to the parking lot to find him now. Why don’t you all guess what kind of car he drives?"
"A courier’s salary should be decent, right?"
"He could probably get a loan for a hundred-thousand-yuan car."
"A Bora, a Cruze, a C-Elysée, a Mazda..."
Her friends threw out guesses, but none of them ntioned a car worth over two hundred thousand yuan.
"I’m almost at the parking lot," Yang Xinxin announced, quickening her pace and switching to her phone’s rear cara. "The big reveal is coming soon!"
A few minutes later, Yang Xinxin arrived at Parking Lot 2 and saw Su Xuan. More accurately, she saw Su Xuan standing next to a beat-up Wuling Hongguang, still dressed in his courier uniform.
"Su Xuan? Is that you?" Yang Xinxin waved from ten ters away, pretending she wasn’t sure.
But she had recognized him at a glance. He was even more handso than he had been in high school. So handso it made her want to pursue him all over again. So handso she wanted to pounce on him and take a bite. But she forced herself to rember the purpose of her trip, ignoring his good looks and focusing only on his shortcomings.
And then, she was ecstatic. Absolutely thrilled.
Su Xuan wasn’t lying. He really is a courier! And his car is a... Pfft, hahaha! How utterly mortifying!
Su Xuan glanced up at Yang Xinxin and gave a polite, perfunctory wave.
"See that?! See that?! See that?!" Yang Xinxin whispered into her phone three tis as she walked toward him, wanting her friends to see Su Xuan in his sorry state. This would make her even happier.
"We see him!"
"He’s definitely the man Xinxin once liked; he’s outrageously handso!"
"So true, so handso! If my husband looked like that, I’d wait on him hand and foot!"
Her friends were, at first, completely captivated by Su Xuan’s unparalleled good looks, ignoring his clothes and the dilapidated Wuling Hongguang beside him.
"Why are you all just staring at his face?!" Yang Xinxin hissed under her breath. "Look at his other... assets!"
"Haha, he really is a little courier boy!"
"Whoa, his car is the legendary Wuling Hongguang of Mount Akina!"
"His circumstances are such a waste of his good looks!"
Her friends had no choice but to play along with Yang Xinxin, saying things they didn’t an. They really didn’t want to. Su Xuan is so handso... saying things like this hurts our conscience!
"Su Xuan, long ti no see!" Yang Xinxin said nonchalantly as she reached him, not even bothering to offer a handshake. "Your car is quite... interesting." She glanced at the Wuling Hongguang behind him and teased, "I’ve never ridden in a car like this before. It must reek of gasoline inside. I’m afraid I’ll get carsick!"
As she spoke, she rubbed her forehead with a troubled expression.
Tired of her pretentious act, Su Xuan lazily lifted his right hand and pressed a button on his key fob.
BEEP! BEEP!
In a parking spot so distance away, a Koenigsegg let out a lodious yet commanding sound, its sharp headlights flashing to life. Its re presence made the humble parking spot shine with brilliance.
"*This* is my car," Su Xuan stated calmly, turning and walking toward the Koenigsegg.
"Th-this..."
Yang Xinxin stood frozen, phone in hand, completely stunned and unable to process what was happening.
Her friends on the video call were just as dumbfounded.
A mix-up? A massive plot twist? A courier actually owns a supercar we’ve never even seen before? No way, got to screenshot this and look it up!
HISS!
The world’s top supercar, the Koenigsegg! Worth one hundred million! There are only five or six of them in all of China! You couldn’t even borrow one if you wanted to!
"Xinxin, are you an idiot?!"
"Hurry up and go after him!"
"If you don’t chase him, we’re going to fly over there and do it ourselves!"
Her friends’ urgent cries finally snapped Yang Xinxin back to reality. She imdiately took off, running after Su Xuan as fast as her legs could carry her.
"Su Xuan, wait for !" she cried, her voice turning into a pitiful whine.
