Tang Yuan and Wen Muxue were each lost in their own thoughts, and for a moment, they were silent.
Zhonghai Jiaotong University, with its century-long history, exuded a profound cultural ambiance through its architecture and vegetation. Tang Yuan drove his Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta through the campus, and despite his efforts to keep it quiet, the occasional low roar still drew the attention of many students.
Throughout the entire day, Tang Yuan, as a freshman in the 2018 class of Gaojin College, had already become famous across the entire school. Many people might not have known what Tang Yuan himself looked like, but the five Ferrari LaFerrari Apertas he owned had become his personal emblem.
Many boys watched as Tang Yuan drove the fiery red Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta slowly past them, their expressions hard to keep calm, filled with a mix of envy, jealousy, and even hatred, though they managed to control themselves.
It wasn't until they saw the girl in Tang Yuan's passenger seat, who turned out to be Wen Muxue, one of the Twin Pearls of Xuhui, that countless boys' mentalities instantly shattered, some even turning red-eyed.
"Damn Tang Yuan, is he a dog's nose? He just enrolled yesterday and already hooked up with my goddess. He definitely planned this in advance!"
"Brother, tell me quickly, are they just going out to study? They shouldn't be doing anything else, right?"
"Find a hotel to learn English? Starting with the very basics of 'uh-huh, ah-ah'?"
"Thirty years to the west of the river, thirty years to the east of the river, do not bully a young man for his poverty. As long as I uphold the ambition of Meng De, I still have a chance!"
"From this moment on, Wen Muxue has fallen from grace in my heart. She constantly claims to love small animals, yet she always ignores me, this little lapdog. What a hypocritical woman!"
"Indeed, without money, you can only see her sweetness; with money, you can taste her saltiness. No matter how high your academic achievements, it can't compare to someone who can drive a LaFerrari with one hand!"
...
Driving the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, Tang Yuaninexplicably felt waves of malice. He frowned slightly, looked around, and suddenly seemed to realize the source of the problem.
"It seems you have many admirers at school."
"Look at how those boys are staring at me; they look like they want to rush over, drag me out of the car, and beat me up."
Tang Yuan turned his head to look at Wen Muxue, speaking with a hint of teasing.
"Then why don't you hurry up and go~"
"If they really rush over later, I won't be able to protect you~"
Wen Muxue said playfully, her radiant smile stunning countless boys and simultaneously causing Tang Yuan's hate-value to skyrocket again.
Tang Yuan looked at the school gate, which was now within reach, and said with a smile, "Then buckle up, I'm about to step on the gas."
"Alrighty~"
Wen Muxue settled herself more securely, gripping the seatbelt tightly with both hands.
"Vroom!"
"Roar…"
The violent roar, accompanied by a strong push-back feeling, propelled the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, which had been slowly cruising through the campus, forward like a red arrow, instantly rocketing away.
Many students on both sides of the road had only just zoned out for a moment when the red Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta driven by Tang Yuan had already vanished from their sight.
"Sigh…"
"Did you see that?"
"This is the difference between people. What we long for with all our hearts, others can just floor the accelerator."
A graduating doctoral student, watching the distant red Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, sighed deeply and said to his junior brother beside him.
"Senior Brother, are you talking about the car, or…?"
The junior brother beside him paused, then his expression suddenly became a bit strange as he tentatively asked.
"Of course I'm talking about the car!"
"Otherwise, what did you think??? "
The doctoral student was full of questions. He looked at his junior brother beside him, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
"Cough cough…"
"It's nothing, nothing, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
The junior brother coughed twice lightly, waving his hands repeatedly as he spoke.
...
In the distance, Tang Yuan, who had successfully merged into traffic, quickly reduced his speed.
Facing the gazes of drivers and passengers in surrounding vehicles, Tang Yuan remained calm, as if he hadn't noticed, but Wen Muxue was different. Those admiring glances greatly satisfied her long-held vanity.
"Where are you from?"
As they got stuck in traffic again, Tang Yuan felt a bit helpless. He glanced at Wen Muxue beside him and casually struck up a conversation.
"Hehe…"
"Why don't you guess?"
Wen Muxue leaned closer to Tang Yuan but didn't directly answer his question.
Since they were stuck in traffic anyway, Tang Yuandidn't mind playing a guessing game with Wen Muxue: "Give me a hint."
"Hmm…"
"Do you know where the most intense 'firepower' is during Chinese New Year?"
Wen Muxue thought for a moment and gave this hint.
"I know."
"Where?"
"The hotel."
As Tang Yuan's answer came out, the smile on Wen Muxue's face instantly froze.
"What?"
"Is that not right?"
"Even if the King of Heaven came today, the place with the most intense 'firepower' during Chinese New Year would still be the hotel!"
Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue, speaking with a serious expression.
"Oh dear!"
"This 'firepower' is not that 'firepower'; you misunderstood!"
"The 'firepower' I was talking about refers to fireworks and firecrackers!"
Facing Tang Yuan's somewhat inappropriate misunderstanding, Wen Muxue explained, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Oh, oh…"
"So it was that kind of 'firepower'."
"Why didn't you say so earlier."
Tang Yuan waved his hand, feigning sudden realization.
"I'm from the north, my hometown is Chuncheng."
Wen Muxue didn't make Tang Yuan guess anymore and directly told him the answer.
"So you're from the north, no wonder you're so tall." Tang Yuan nodded slightly: "How tall are you exactly? I feel like you must be at least 175?"
"177 cm without shoes."
When mentioning her height, Wen Muxue's voice carried a hint of pride.
"It's a shame you're not a model with that height."
"It's hard to find a job as a model, and the modeling industry is too chaotic."
"What about a flight attendant then?"
"I get motion sickness."
"Oh."
...
With a great beauty like Wen Muxue accompanying him, facing traffic wasn't so boring.
Through their casual conversation, they learned more about each other, and their relationship grew much closer.
After exiting the congested road section, Tang Yuangradually picked up speed.
The private collection museum that China Merchants Bank found for him was located in the Pudong New Area, which was quite a distance for Tang Yuan, who was coming from Xuhui District. It took him nearly half an hour of driving to reach this private collection museum.
Finding a parking spot by the roadside, Tang Yuanparked the red Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta and then got out of the car with Wen Muxue.
"Baoyinzai?"
Wen Muxue looked at the ancient-style detached building in front of her, reading the characters on the wooden plaque, and softly pronounced them. Then she turned to Tang Yuan and asked curiously, "What kind of place is this?"
"You'll know once we go inside."
Tang Yuan kept her in suspense, and after saying it with a smile, he walked ahead.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of curiosity flashed in Wen Muxue's eyes, and then she followed Tang Yuaninside…
