Chapter 145: This Simple World Is Truly Lovely

Morning.

Xu Shaochen, as usual, got out of bed from Linda’s fragrant body.

Last night, he had a bit too much to drink with Mei Liangxin. Fueled by the alcohol, he tried out several new things with Linda.

I have to say, Linda’s flexibility is truly impressive. Don’t ask how he knows. He even knows she can stand and lift her leg over her head.

Seeing the exhausted Linda still sleeping, Xu Shaochen didn’t wake her up and quietly left the room.

Today, he had a busy schedule.

In the morning, he had the school’s sports meet, where he would participate in the basketball game. With so many teams, the results wouldn’t be decided until the afternoon.

In the evening, he needed to attend Du Feng’s daughter’s coming-of-age banquet. Young Master Xu was indeed very busy today.

“Boss.”

Both Long Yi and Long Er greeted him as soon as they saw him come out.

A brand new black Rolls-Royce was parked at the villa’s entrance. This was the one Sun Hai had gifted him.

Xu Shaochen had Long Yi retrieve it yesterday. As for his Lamborghini, it would arrive in Jiangzhou in a few more days.

“Let’s go, to the school.”

After getting in the car, Xu Shaochen said. Long Yi drove the car, while Long Er followed in the Audi, not too close but not too far, prepared for any sudden situations.

“Stop for a moment.”

Ten minutes after leaving the villa, Xu Shaochen suddenly asked to stop.

He then lowered the window and shouted at Song Xinran, who was walking by the street: “Sister Xinran, where are you headed? I’ll give you a ride.”

“I’m going to Jiangzhou University to sign a contract.” Song Xinran didn’t hesitate and got in the car. She looked around at the luxurious interior: “I knew it was yours when Long Yi came to pick it up yesterday.”

“You’re a manager now. Why don’t you buy yourself a car?” Xu Shaochen motioned for Long Yi to start driving as he turned to ask Song Xinran.

Song Xinran was dressed in a red short skirt, her curvaceous figure perfectly displayed. She wore thin black stockings on her legs and red high heels on her feet. With her long hair draped over her shoulders and her fiery red lips, she looked like a burning flame, ready to turn Xu Shaochen into ashes.

Song Xinran gave him a sultry glance: “Do you think everyone is as rich as you? Where would I get the money to buy a car?”

“Long Yi, give me the keys to the Mercedes.” Xu Shaochen told Long Yi.

While driving with one hand, Long Yi handed the Mercedes keys to Xu Shaochen with the other.

Xu Shaochen handed the keys to Song Xinran: “Remember the Mercedes we met again in? Now it’s yours.”

“No way. I can’t accept something so expensive. What do you take me for?” Song Xinran firmly refused and pushed the keys back.

Xu Shaochen pulled up the partition between the front and back seats, then leaned in and kissed her luscious red lips.

“Mmm…mm…”

Song Xinran’s eyes widened, her entire body going limp like an octopus.

After a long while, they finally parted.

“This is compensation. Take it.” Xu Shaochen looked down at her, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Song Xinran blushed and rolled her eyes: “Why does this feel like a payment for services rendered?”

“Then I’m at a loss. Is it encrusted with diamonds? That expensive?” Xu Shaochen whispered teasingly in her ear.

Song Xinran shivered, blushing as she pushed away Xu Shaochen, pouting: “Get lost, you jerk! A dog’s mouth can’t speak ivory! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Xu Shaochen and Song Xinran flirted and teased each other in the car. Even when Song Xinran got out of the car, her blush hadn’t faded.

Originally, it didn’t cause much of a stir when Xu Shaochen’s Mercedes entered the campus.

But today, the moment the Rolls-Royce arrived at the gate, it caused a sensation. A large crowd of people started taking photos with their Phones.

“Holy crap! Who the heck is this? That’s badass! Could it be a big-shot wealthy guy coming to watch the sports meet? Why wasn’t there any advance notice?”

“Yeah, the car must be worth several million!”

“Several million? A few million might only buy you the hood! This thing costs more than ten million! If I could afford even four wheels in this lifetime, I’d be satisfied.”

Everyone was talking about it, with car enthusiasts pointing at the Rolls-Royce and making comments about it as if the car was theirs.

The car came to a stop.

Long Yi quickly got out from the driver’s seat, bending down to open the door.

The retro-style carriage doors opened in a grand, luxurious manner—elegant yet domineering.

Everyone held their breath, eager to see which big shot would step out of the car.

Xu Shaochen stepped out of the car.

Boom! In an instant, everyone started buzzing.

“It’s him! Holy crap! The last time he was in a Mercedes, and now it’s a Rolls-Royce! Is he aiming for the stars?”

“Some people look like top students on the surface, but secretly, they’re filthy rich. It’s absolutely insane!”

“Damn it! Smart, rich, and handsome—he’s got it all!”

“Haha, I don’t like guys like him at all. Real rich people are low-key. Look at me, I take the subway worth millions of dollars to school every day. Have I ever bragged about it? Have I ever shown off?”

Xu Shaochen was already famous for being a top student, and after the incident with Xie Wei at the girls’ dormitory, he was probably even more well-known than the principal.

The way everyone looked at Xu Shaochen was full of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Comparing people really is infuriating!

In the crowd, Zhang Qingsong saw all this, and his face twisted with rage.

Jealousy had distorted his appearance.

Why?! Why are your grades better than mine?! Why did Xie Wei choose you?! Why are you so rich?! Why are you so handsome?!

Zhang Qingsong’s jealousy and hatred towards Xu Shaochen had become an obsession, as he realized the gap between them was only growing wider.

“Hmph! The more successful you are now, the more embarrassing it will be for you on the basketball court.”

Grinding his teeth, Zhang Qingsong muttered quietly before clenching his fists and walking away.

He couldn’t wait for the basketball game to start. By then, Xu Shaochen would be humiliated in front of the entire school.

He had already made all the necessary arrangements.

Unfortunately, he didn’t realize that he was just digging his own grave.

“Achoo!”

Xu Shaochen sneezed as he watched Zhang Qingsong’s retreating figure, wiping his mouth with his hand in a carefree manner.

“Wow! Everyone, look! Senior Xu Shaochen is so down-to-earth! He’s so rich and still so relatable.”

“Exactly! He’s just like one of us…”

In the crowd, a hefty guy with glasses was munching on chips while wiping his mouth.

The women around him immediately looked at him with disdain.

“That’s so gross! He has no manners at all.”

“Yeah, no etiquette in public at all.”

The hefty guy felt like a thousand wild horses were running across his heart. Why was Xu Shaochen considered down-to-earth and lovable, while he was just seen as gross and unmannered? Xu Shaochen smiled brightly, finding this simple world truly lovely. After all, if you’re rich, even your farts get praised.
