Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huang Xiaolong and Cui Feiyan walked out of the “Prosperous Dynasty” housing community together.
It wasn’t particularly late, just a bit past eight and not yet nine.
“Tell , what gift would you like.” Cui Feiyan asked indifferently.
“Uh… I haven’t decided yet, can you give so ti to think?” Huang Xiaolong responded earnestly.
“Okay, let’s go to ‘New World Shopping City’. You can think about it on the way and tell when you’ve made up your mind.” Cui Feiyan said patiently. “After this, we’re even. Don’t spread rumors in front of my father, got it?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person.” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “By the way, do you have a limit on how much the gift should cost?”
Cui Feiyan glanced at Huang Xiaolong and sighed. Considering what had happened today, she was indeed at fault. “As long as you like it, but don’t go too overboard.”
“Okay, okay.” Huang Xiaolong smiled, his eyes twinkling with delight.
His uncle’s house was quite empty, Huang Xiaolong was planning to buy various ho appliances and daily necessities. Now it seed that his wishes could co true sooner than expected. He was thinking whether he should ask Cui Feiyan for a bed or a big television…
Cui Feiyan headed towards a moonlight white Maserati parked outside the community.
“Feiyan, let’s take my car, I have one.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “Your car…” Cui Feiyan looked at Huang Xiaolong’s BYD F3 and felt speechless.
To tell the truth, Cui Feiyan had never ridden in a BYD in her life!
“Feiyan, don’t be shy, co on. It’s more convenient in my car.” Huang Xiaolong said enthusiastically.
“Uh… I…” Cui Feiyan struggled internally, but Huang Xiaolong had already quickly opened the car door and started the engine.
‘Forget it, I’ll just tolerate it. I’ll quickly go with him to pick out a gift, then we can go our separate ways.’ Cui Feiyan gritted her teeth and walked over in her high heels. Huang Xiaolong had already opened the passenger door for her.
She got in the car.
Inside the car, Cui Feiyan, who was used to riding in top-tier luxury cars, felt very uncomfortable, “Do you know where ‘New World Shopping City’ is?” “I’ve already set the navigation.” Huang Xiaolong placed his phone on his lap, turned the steering wheel, and the BYD F3 set off at a decent speed.
Huang Xiaolong drove into the city centre in no ti. Cui Feiyan was surprised to find that his driving skills were pretty good. Except for waiting at red lights, he didn’t hit the brakes at all during the drive. Whether it was overtaking or changing lanes, everything was smooth and steady. This gave Cui Feiyan seated in the car a sense of comfort!
‘What? Riding in a BYD can be this comfortable?’
Cui Feiyan looked at Huang Xiaolong, who was dressed in a rustic fashion, and couldn’t help but be surprised. “You’re a good driver, how many years have you been driving?”
“Huh? ? I’ve never driven a car before.” Huang Xiaolong responded honestly.
“Feiyan, let tell you a secret, I don’t even have a driver’s license.”
“How can you be so irresponsible with your words? You’ve never driven before? Do you think I’m an idiot?” Cui Feiyan gave Huang Xiaolong a disdainful look, turned her head away, and looked out the window, no longer engaging in conversation.
Frankly, Cui Feiyan’s emotions were fairly complicated at the mont. She had hardly ever spent ti alone with a man other than her father.
She was often asked out on dates by various rich kids, successful n, or popular male stars, but she would always turn them down. And today, she was actually going shopping with a bit of a country bumpkin. Thinking about it, it seed a bit ludicrous.
This strange feeling troubled Cui Feiyan. ‘This will be the only ti. This guy has thick skin and talks nonsense. He probably can’t do anything except catch ghosts. Him and I, we are from different worlds, there won’t be much interaction…’
While driving, Huang Xiaolong kept glancing at Cui Feiyan. She looked gracious, her eyes as deep as water. The play of light and shadow from the car window reflected on her profile, making her skin look as bright as a beautiful jade. This stirred a strong desire in him to possess her. “Uh, Feiyan, are you free these days?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“Why?” Cui Feiyan asked suspiciously.
“You’re haunted by a vicious ghost, I need to help you get rid of it. You can’t let this drag on, the longer it lasts, the worse it is for your health.” Huang
Xiaolong declared earnestly. “Besides, I charge a fair price of only 10,000 RMB.
We’re quite familiar with each other, don’t worry, I won’t scam you.”
“About that…” Cui Feiyan pondered, “Give so more ti.”
She wanted to observe for a few more days. If the nightmares stopped, she wouldn’t have to contact Huang Xiaolong anymore.
Soon, they arrived at New World Shopping City.
This was an extrely bustling comrcial area, filled with skyscrapers. The lights were so bright that it seed like a city that never slept.
New World Shopping City was the tallest building in this area.
A large comprehensive shopping center, encompassing every conceivable category from departnt stores, clothing, eating to luxury goods, leisure and entertainnt, electronic goods, supermarkets, jewelry, and so on.
Huang Xiaolong parked his car in a free parking space inside the plaza.
As he and Cui Feiyan got off the car, passersby from all directions turned their heads to look.
Then, everyone was taken aback!
A guy, dressed like a farr and driving a BYD F3, had with him a girl with remarkable beauty… that surely defied logic!
“We better hurry.” The unusual gazes from people around made Cui Feiyan feel uncomfortable. She intentionally kept her distance from Huang Xiaolong and urged, “Have you thought about what gift you want?”
“Wow… this place is so bustling… this new shopping mall looks so high-end! The stuff inside must be expensive, right? Feiyan, I feel a bit bad making you foot the bill this ti.” Huang Xiaolong was darting his eyes everywhere in awe.
“You talk too much!” Cui Feiyan ignored Huang Xiaolong, heading straight towards the main building of the shopping mall.
Huang Xiaolong followed behind chuckling.
Before they had reached the entrance of the mall, a large stage in the center of the square caught Huang Xiaolong’s attention.
The stage was massive. It was already packed with spectacles on three sides below the stage.
On the stage, a man in a suit was holding a wireless microphone, enthusiastically promoting sothing. “… Friends, we are the ‘Golden Charm mory Training Institute’, a nationally authorized legal school… By using scientifically systematic training thods to tap into our students’ right brain potential, we enhance their mory, imagination, observation, and response capabilities…improving their reading and learning efficiency…”

Are you worried about forgetting your speech at the conference? Co! Our ‘Golden Charm mory Training Institute’ will transform you into a superhuman in terms of mory! Having an eidetic mory is not rely a legend!”
“This ti, our ‘Golden Charm mory Training Institute’ , in order to show our appreciation for the citizens’ support and love, has organized this rewarding activity on the initiative of our CEO! Please look at the prizes on the stage -”
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes had already been glued on the piled-up objects on the stage!
A vast array of items covered the entire stage.
These items ranged from daily necessities to luxurious goods, you na it and they had it!
Laundry detergent, instant noodles, soap, dicated oil, towels, mops, various bedding products…
Mobile phones, digital caras, DSLR caras, Siens refrigerators, Sony big-screen TVs…
Designer shirts, suits, LV bags, various high-end costics, Longines wristwatches…
“My God? Prizes? Are these… are these… all prizes?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes sparkled, and he shivered in excitent. “City people are so lavish! So many good things, all… all the prizes!”
The host continued to stir up the atmosphere eloquently. “Does everyone want these prizes? Do you want them? If so, shout it out loud!”
The spectators all around the stage exploded, raising their roaring voices that sounded like an avalanche or a tsunami, adrenaline flowing!
Huang Xiaolong too forgot himself and started yelling, “Yes! Of course, Yes! With so many prizes, only a fool would not want them!”
“You… you… you…” Cui Feiyan ca back from the front with an icy face and looked at Huang Xiaolong. “What disturbance are you causing here? This is a business promotion; do you think anyone can get those valuable prizes? Do you think businesses are fools?”
Cui Feiyan was speechless at Huang Xiaolong.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Only the most foolish, rcenary, narrow-minded people would believe in these prize-winning activities!
“Feiyan, that’s not how you look at it. I think I should give it a try, these prizes are so great!” Huang Xiaolong rubbed his hands together.
“Now, I invite everyone to participate in our rewarding activity! The activity is called – ‘mory Challenge’. For each level you pass, you will get the corresponding prize. The further you go, the bigger the prize! The first round will begin soon, we need 50 participants from the audience! Want to get a designer watch? Want to get various luxury goods? Want to get the latest version of the iPhone 7? Want to get a seven-day trip to Europe? Co on! Co and join our mory Challenge!” The host shouted as if he were possessed.
Boom——
Hordes of people sward towards the stage!
“I want to participate! I want to get the prizes!” Huang Xiaolong started striding towards the stage.
“Has a donkey kicked your brain!” Cui Feiyan grinded her teeth in frustration,
“Absolutely… simply embarrassing!”
