Zhang Dan glanced at Ma Yan and played along. "Why is there a crowd of people outside?"
Ma Yan had spotted a group of women by the roadside, screaming and taking pictures of something with their cameras.
"Let's go check it out." As an exceptional internet celebrity, Zhang Dan had a keen sense for money; she knew some big shot must have arrived.
DING. Your driver has arrived at your destination.
He Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhang Dan and Ma Yan leave. She could finally take a Didi home without needing the driver to pretend to be her boyfriend. She looked around the entrance, but besides the crowd off to the side, she couldn't see a Volkswagen anywhere.
She made a phone call.
Xia Liang remained in his car, afraid that the horde of crazy women would swarm him the moment he opened the door.
"Hello? Are you the driver? Where are you? I can't see you," He Zhiyao asked.
"I'm here. My car is surrounded by people. You really can't see it?"
He Zhiyao was puzzled. Is a Volkswagen really that eye-catching now?
"Okay, I'm wearing a purple dress and white shoes. Do you see me?" she said.
"I'd better get out and find you."
After Xia Liang hung up, he opened the car door, and the crowd of onlookers erupted in screams.
"So handsome!"
"He's so handsome!"
"Not only a God of Wealth, but he's handsome too!"
"I'm in love!"
"Hey, handsome, can I add you on WeChat?!"
"Young Master, can you give me your number?"
Zhang Dan and Ma Yan were completely dumbfounded.
What the hell kind of Volkswagen was that?!
They had a good eye for luxury and instantly recognized the Hui Teng. President Wang's best BMW was a pile of scrap metal compared to this car. More importantly, the owner was so young and ridiculously handsome!
Zhang Dan's heart was about to pound out of her chest. She quickly smoothed her bangs. Although she'd had plastic surgery, her natural features weren't bad. Among ordinary people, she was a bona fide internet goddess. Giving her looks an eighty-five with makeup on was no exaggeration at all.
He's actually walking towards me! I, Zhang Dan, am about to strike it rich!
At that moment, Zhang Dan, Ma Yan, and He Zhiyao were all standing close together in the same direction. He Zhiyao, however, was still looking down at her phone and hadn't noticed Xia Liang approaching.
He must be coming for me! Zhang Dan's heart hammered in her chest. She could almost see the life of a rich man's wife waving at her.
Xia Liang drew closer. Zhang Dan's face flushed red to the tips of her ears, and her hands trembled with excitement. She was already basking in the envious and jealous stares from the surrounding women. She prepared to speak up and introduce herself, but then the God of Wealth walked right past, ignoring her completely.
"He Zhiyao?"
Xia Liang stopped in front of He Zhiyao and spoke her name.
He Zhiyao looked up and was instantly captivated.
Handsome. So incredibly handsome! The sunlight streamed through his hair, illuminating a devastatingly handsome face. His eyes held a hint of a melancholy prince, like an idol who had stepped right out of a manga, instantly stealing her heart.
"Um... yes, that's me," she answered, completely smitten, sending endless ripples through her heart. She thought she must be dreaming. Are Didi drivers this handsome nowadays?!
"I'm Xia Liang. And for now, I'm your boyfriend."
Xia Liang took her small hand. Acting as a boyfriend? He was the king of playing the part.
He Zhiyao lowered her head, feeling dozens of pairs of envious eyes on her, and blushed beet-red. It was the first time a man had held her hand, but it felt surprisingly good.
Zhang Dan's face twisted with jealousy.
This was He Zhiyao's "ordinary boyfriend"? Driving a Volkswagen? A Volkswagen, my ass! She couldn't believe it and ran up to them, forcing herself to appear calm. "Zhiyao, is this your boyfriend?"
He Zhiyao suddenly felt too embarrassed to admit it.
Xia Liang spoke first. "Yeah, I'm Zhiyao's boyfriend." As he said this, he gently ruffled her hair.
The devastatingly charming move almost made He Zhiyao swoon.
"Hello, I'm Zhiyao's college roommate. My name is Zhang Dan." Suppressing her rage and jealousy, Zhang Dan tried to catch Xia Liang's eye, sending him flirtatious glances. She was determined to steal him away.
"Oh, hello."
Xia Liang was entirely unimpressed by this internet celebrity caked in a pound of makeup. He much preferred someone like He Zhiyao, who looked beautiful even without it and had a naturally refreshing charm.
"Let's go, baby."
The endearment sent He Zhiyao's heart racing. This wasn't a ride-hailing service, this was a boyfriend-hailing service!
With that, he led He Zhiyao away.
Ma Yan watched them from the side, secretly sizing up Xia Liang. She was self-aware enough to know a God of Wealth of his caliber wouldn't give her a second look. After today, however, she decided she needed to get on good terms with He Zhiyao. A man who drove a car like that was in a different league entirely from the so-called President Wang backing Zhang Dan. They weren't even in the same universe.
"Wow, that girl... I'm so jealous."
"Why couldn't it be me! I'm gonna cry."
"I can't take how jealous I am!"
"..."
The onlooking girls were practically green with envy, especially a beauty who had kicked off her high heels to chase after him. She looked like she was about to faint from jealousy.
Xia Liang led He Zhiyao to the Hui Teng.
"Get in."
He Zhiyao's eyes went wide. What was this car? Wasn't it a Volkswagen? Why was everyone so shocked? But this Volkswagen was gorgeous. She had never seen such a beautiful, high-end car, not even on TV.
"Isn't it a Volkswagen?" she asked in a small voice.
"This is... a Hui Teng," Xia Liang said, almost laughing at her adorably clueless expression. Is she really in her twenties? She's so adorable!
"Oh my God, the poor girl doesn't even know her boyfriend is a tycoon."
"To be that rich and still drive such a low-key luxury car."
The crowd's envy for He Zhiyao reached a new peak. Gods of Wealth came and went, but a low-profile one was a true rarity.
Under the crowd's devouring, envious stares, He Zhiyao slipped into the passenger seat of the Hui Teng. At that moment, Zhang Dan's nose, which she'd had done, almost twisted with jealousy.
With a deep, satisfying roar that sounded like exquisitely polished metal, the engine came to life, and Xia Liang drove away with He Zhiyao.
This was the first time He Zhiyao had ever been the center of so much attention. She had always been a top student and campus belle, the pearl in the eyes of her teachers and classmates. At work, her colleagues called her a goddess. She was no stranger to being the center of attention. But this was a completely new and marvelous feeling.
If only he were really my boyfriend. He Zhiyao stole a glance at Xia Liang driving with one hand. He had sword-like eyebrows, ink-dark eyes, and a sunny disposition tempered with the air of a melancholy prince.
Xia Liang felt her gaze and turned to give her a smile. "Miss, from the moment you get in this car until you get out, I'm your Didi Boyfriend. If there's anything you need, just let me know."
Indeed, when he parked, Xia Liang had triggered a quest. The reward was a Bugatti Veyron worth 120 Yuan and 40 Work Points.
He Zhiyao's cheeks flushed red once again at his sudden attention and brilliant smile. A sentence rose in her heart, desperate to be spoken.
I want you to be my real boyfriend!
Alas, a luxury car was a luxury car, especially in Xia Liang's hands. They arrived at the entrance of the Bichen Residential Area all too quickly. After wrestling with her thoughts for the entire ride, He Zhiyao still couldn't bring herself to say it.
Xiao Zhang, the doorman at Bichen Residential Area, was usually indolent and cocky. At this moment, he was lounging in the security booth with his legs crossed, fast asleep.
BEEP.
Stopped by the gate's barrier, Xia Liang honked the horn.
Xiao Zhang was deep in a daydream where he was driving a luxury car with a beautiful model by his side. Life was good.
BEEP! BEEP
