Xu Lin got into the car afterward, and Ning Yuhuan turned to enter the dormitory building after Xu Lin's car disappeared from sight.

As she reached the dorm entrance, Xu Jinjie and the other two were already waiting for Ning Yuhuan.

"Wow! Hanhan, Xu Lin actually drives a Panamera?"

"That's really keeping it under wraps! I thought he drove an electric car!"

"Hanhan, tell us, what's it like to ride in a Panamera?"

Each of the three girls said their piece.

"What's a Panamera?"

Ning Yuhuan was puzzled.

"The junior, your boyfriend! That car you rode in just now is a Panamera, worth over a million!"

"Yes, this car is over a million! It's something you'll never have from birth, practically impossible for us even if we graduate from a key university!"

"So envious of Hanhan, who would've thought the junior was hiding such depths!"

The three girls chimed in one after the other.

Ning Yuhuan hadn't expected Xu Lin to be driving such an expensive car today.

But, Xu Lin had borrowed it from someone, and if it got damaged…

However, Xu Lin said he could afford it.

Ning Yuhuan recalled the manuscript fees Xu Lin had shown her before, over six hundred thousand.

She couldn't even imagine it.

Then this month, although it hasn't been announced yet, Xu Lin had said earlier, over a million.

Actually, Xu Lin hadn't told the full truth then; it was over a million, but much more than just a million.

Yet, even so, Ning Yuhuan couldn't stay calm.

A million, that's simply astronomical.

If she were a materialistic girl, with a boyfriend who could earn this much, she would have made him empty all sorts of shopping carts, a whole range of branded bags and cosmetics, and considered what car or house to buy, all sorts of things.

Otherwise, how would she be called a materialistic girl?

But Ning Yuhuan isn't like that; her values are sound, and she's not materialistic. She believes that happiness must be created by one's own hands, and that hard work is the only way to achieve a wonderful life.

She's just wondering if she's reaching too high with Xu Lin, unsure how to keep up with his pace.

Xu Lin is too outstanding. He can write amazing best-sellers, sing, compose, and play the guitar and piano. He remembers everything he reads, has strong learning abilities, and a powerful mind…

Her boyfriend is so comprehensively excellent, and the gap between them is too large, causing Ning Yuhuan to feel inferior.

"Hanhan, did you buy a new computer?"

"Mm-hmm, Xu Lin bought it for me."

She returned to the dorm, opened her computer, and the wallpaper was a sweet photo of her and Xu Lin.

"So romantic! And a golden couple!"

"The boyfriend is also super handsome!"

The three roommates looked at the wallpaper. Xu Lin had sharp, handsome features, unlike the K-pop inspired, overly made-up styles popular in the entertainment industry now.

On the other side.

After Xu Lin left school, he headed straight to the rental house area.

Rong Xiyi and Xia Xiyao were still there.

Xu Lin had sent a message in advance, so by the time he drove to the community gate, Rong Xiyi and Xia Xiyao were already waiting there.

The two girls both wore short-sleeved shirts, but Rong Xiyi's pants were black, slightly flared cargo pants, while Xia Xiyao's were navy, with more pockets and a cooler design. Additionally, Xia Xiyao wore a baseball cap and maintained her cool demeanor and style.

Rong Xiyi kept looking around and only noticed the car stop in front when the window rolled down.

Xu Lin shouted, "Get in!"

"Yaoyao, it's Xu Lin! Let's grab our stuff and go!"

The two girls each carried two bags over.

Xu Lin got out of the car to open the trunk.

"What's all this?"

"Barbecue supplies! We're having a barbecue on the mountain tonight!"

Rong Xiyi said, "So we bought chicken wings, drumsticks, beef skewers, sausages…"

She listed over a dozen barbecue items, as well as some seasonings to be used for grilling.

There was quite a lot of stuff.

Since they had to drive, the drinks were coke, Sprite, and beer.

Xu Lin looked at what Xia Xiyao was carrying, "What's this then?"

Xia Xiyao: "An outdoor grill and charcoal, bought today."

Xu Lin opened the package to take a look, learning something new because besides the outdoor grill, there was a bag of long, black charcoal sticks.

After organizing things, they all got in the car.

Rong Xiyi sat in the front passenger seat, while Xia Xiyao sat in the back.

"Xu Lin, where did you rent the Panamera from?"

Unlike Ning Yuhuan, Rong Xiyi recognized the car because her stepmother's son, her half-brother, had one too.

"Borrowed from a friend."

Xu Lin turned to remind, "Seatbelts?"

"Xu Lin, I'm buckled up!"

Rong Xiyi fastened her seatbelt, and so did Xia Xiyao in the back.

"Have you two eaten?"

Xu Lin asked casually while driving.

Rong Xiyi shook her head, "No, we've been waiting for you!"

"What do you feel like eating, then?"

"Sushi!"

Rong Xiyi opened Douyin, showing it to Xu Lin, "Xu Lin, I found a sushi place!"

Xu Lin glanced at the sushi restaurant's name and then turned on the navigation system.

It wasn't far from here, about twenty minutes drive, and even though there were traffic lights, Xu Lin managed to catch only green lights, so the journey was smooth.

Inside the sushi restaurant, it was Japanese-style, just like last time. Everyone had to cover their shoes with plastic bags at the entrance.

Xu Lin found it cumbersome because, in such big cities, the floors outside were either tiles or concrete, with no chance of much dirt or bird droppings on shoes, yet plastic covers were still required, unlike in large hotels.

The price was less expensive than last time, with three people costing over six hundred, compared to the previous eight or nine hundred, and this time they left full and satisfied for just over six hundred.
