Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Why Won’t You Give
So Face?
I have to admit, Char’s team’s cooking was incredible.
Everyone was full of praise for the lunch. Wei Yilong, in particular, ate like he hadn’t seen food in days.
It got to the point where Su Tantan, who was sitting next to him, disdainfully scooted her plate and utensils away from him.
Wei Yilong, however, seed very aware of Su Tantan’s movents. Upon seeing her disgusted expression, the chopsticks in his hand imdiately slowed down.
Fang Chenyi noticed this and found it a bit strange, but he didn’t voice his curiosity.
After lunch, Bai nghan and Su Tantan had to go back to school for their afternoon classes.
Fang Chenyi had given her a Lamborghini supercar, and while Bai nghan had a driver’s license, she had never driven a car like that before. Naturally, Fang Chenyi wasn’t comfortable with her driving on her own just yet.
"Yilong, are you busy this afternoon?"
Wei Yilong, who was busy shoveling down a bowl of rice, quickly stopped and looked up when he heard Fang Chenyi speak to him.
"I’m free, Chenyi. I don’t have class this afternoon. Just tell
what you need."
Fang Chenyi paused. "No class this afternoon? You an you’re still a student?"
Fang Chenyi genuinely hadn’t expected it. This guy, who didn’t look much younger than him, was actually a student. ’I don’t know if I look too young or if he just looks old for his age...’
"Huh? Oh, yeah. I go to Yan University, too. Sa year as your girlfriend. What’s wrong, Chenyi? Is it because I look younger than my age? Hehe."
’Young, my ass!’
After ntally doing a spit-take, he just nodded speechlessly.
"Perfect. They both have class this afternoon and need to get back to campus. I’m going to give nghan a driving lesson. As for, uh, Su... Su-sothing? You can drive her to school. Then we can head back together."
It wasn’t that Fang Chenyi was being petty and didn’t want to give Su Tantan a ride. The main issue was that the supercar only had two seats, just enough for him and his Xiao Hanhan. There was no room for a third wheel like Su Tantan.
Wei Yilong was stunned for a mont, but his face quickly broke into a look of pure joy as he readily agreed.
In stark contrast to Wei Yilong’s excitent, Su Tantan’s face fell the mont she heard Fang Chenyi’s plan. She shot a pleading look at Bai nghan, only to find her friend completely ignoring her.
’So much for sisterhood,’ she lanted internally. ’A new boyfriend and she’s already forgotten her friends...’
「Ten minutes later」
In a solid pink Lamborghini supercar, Fang Chenyi sat in the passenger seat and began explaining the car’s driving chanics and safety features to Bai nghan.
As for Su Tantan and Wei Yilong, they had already left for the university in the Raptor.
"Alright, Xiao Hanhan, you got all that? Go on, give it a try. The accelerator on this car is really sensitive, so be careful how much pressure you apply, or it’ll just lurch forward... Whoa... Damn, not bad, Xiao Hanhan!"
After he had gone through all the instructions, Fang Chenyi was about to add a few more words of caution, but Bai nghan had already started the car and was pulling away smoothly.
She wasn’t going fast, but her control was exceptionally steady. Fang Chenyi found himself looking at her with newfound respect.
"Hehe, why are you staring at
like that? I’ve always been a fast learner, you know."
After driving out of the neighborhood, Bai nghan already had a good handle on the pink beast she was driving. Her eyes were fixed on the road, but the corners of her lips curved up into a charming smile.
And she wasn’t just bragging. She had always been one of those "perfect kids" that parents compare their own children to; being a top student was just part of the package.
Even though she’d never driven a supercar before, after Fang Chenyi’s explanation, she had committed every detail and precaution to mory.
Seeing Bai nghan driving so skillfully already, Fang Chenyi didn’t hesitate to give her a big thumbs-up.
"Xiao Hanhan, there’s a row of trash cans over there. We still have plenty of ti, so pull over for a second."
Seeing that Bai nghan was driving skillfully and no longer needed his guidance, Fang Chenyi started gazing out the window. As they passed the entrance to People’s Park, he suddenly spotted two trash cans up ahead.
If they were ordinary trash cans, Fang Chenyi wouldn’t have said anything. But these two were overflowing, and mostly with cardboard boxes and plastic bottles.
He might be worth a considerable amount now, but his total assets were still just a little over four million. Having just gotten a taste of the system’s rewards, Fang Chenyi felt that familiar itch start to creep up on him.
"Oh? Where? Oh, oh, I see them now."
Bai nghan had been so focused on driving that she hadn’t noticed the trash cans. By the ti she heard Fang Chenyi, they had already driven past them.
Realizing what he ant, she quickly pulled the car into a parking spot on the side of the road.
"Hehe, just wait in the car. I’ll be right back."
The pull of those two trash cans was just too strong for Fang Chenyi. After a quick word to Bai nghan, he grabbed the neatly folded woven sack from the footwell, got out of the car, and headed toward them.
’Wahaha, my precious trash! Here I co!’
He shook the woven sack open as he walked, pulled out his grabber tool, and started picking up a pile of bottles next to the trash cans.
[Host has collected one plastic bottle. System reward: 100 yuan. The reward has been deposited into the Host’s bank account. Please check for confirmation.]
[Host has collected one broken glass cup. System reward: 300 yuan. The reward has been deposited into the Host’s bank account. Please check for confirmation.]
...
Just as Fang Chenyi was about to use his grabber on the next item, a slender, delicate hand reached out and picked it up first.
"Uh... didn’t I tell you to wait in the car? Why’d you get out?"
[Congratulations, Host, for collecting one mineral water bottle. System reward: 100 yuan. The reward has been deposited into the Host’s bank account. Please check for confirmation.]
[Reward transfer failed. System has detected cheating. The item was not collected personally by the Host. Reward has been retracted. A penalty will be administered: The reward for the next item collected will be nullified!]
Hearing the two familiar prompts in his mind, Fang Chenyi slapped his forehead. ’I always get carried away when I start collecting... how could I have forgotten about that rule?’
"I ca down to help you, of course."
She tossed the water bottle she’d picked up into the woven sack in Fang Chenyi’s hand, using her other hand to brush a stray strand of hair from her forehead.
She looked up, gave Fang Chenyi a sweet smile, and then bent down to pick up another bottle from the ground.
Seeing Bai nghan try to hand him another bottle, Fang Chenyi quickly pinched the top of the sack closed.
But just as the two of them were busy collecting trash, back at the Lamborghini...
[To be continued...]
