Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Liu Yongheng’s Plan
"Senior, are you sure you don’t want to come to the dinner party with me?"
Wu Yun pulled on a plain white T-shirt, hiding his enviable, armor-like chest and abs, and asked Wen Meng again.
"No, I’ll pass. I don’t know anyone, so it would just be awkward. Besides, it’s your class gathering. What would I even do there?"
Wen Meng was lounging on the bed. Her eyes left her phone, and she swallowed as she watched Wu Yun get dressed.
"Anyway, I already made plans with the girls from my dorm to go shopping and eat. We’re having a little get-together. I haven’t had a proper chat with them all semester!"
"But I’m a little jealous, you know! We haven’t even eaten at places like that together! And now you’re treating all the girls in your class! I’m not happy!" Wen Meng feigned jealousy, her pout so pronounced you could hang a bottle from it.
Dressed, Wu Yun dove onto Wen Meng with a pounce and planted a kiss on her tempting little mouth.
"There, there, Senior! I’ll take you to a Michelin-starred restaurant next time."
What girls care about isn’t whether they get to eat something, but the man’s attitude.
Wen Meng wasn’t a petty person—otherwise, she wouldn’t tolerate Wu Yun having other girlfriends. She just wanted some comfort from him, like any young woman in love.
"Okay, it’s a deal!" Wen Meng sat up slightly and gave Wu Yun a kiss in return.
Wu Yun looked into Wen Meng’s eyes and said, "Senior! I might not come back tonight. We’ll probably go to a KTV after dinner."
"Go on, then! Just try not to pick up any shady women!" Wen Meng rolled her eyes charmingly.
"Don’t worry! I’m heading out now! I’m going to buy some gifts for your parents first!" With that, Wu Yun suddenly whipped off the light blanket and dove down for a quick nibble.
"Hey! You’re awful! Are you a pervert?!" Wu Yun’s move made Wen Meng blush profusely.
As Wu Yun headed for the door, Wen Meng shouted, "Don’t buy anything too expensive!"
"I know!"
...
A white G63 was parked beneath the men’s dormitory, attracting the gazes of many girls waiting outside.
Wu Yun closed the car door, which shut with a crisp, metallic THUD.
Ignoring the young ladies’ stares, Wu Yun walked into the dorm by himself.
He confidently made his way to room 404. Just as he was about to open the door, he once again heard Li Shiming’s effeminate shriek, "Liu Yongheng! If you try to ream me again, this means war!"
"Just call me ’Daddy’ and I’ll let you go! HAHAHAHA!" Liu Yongheng’s boisterous voice rang out.
Wu Yun shoved the door open to see the two of them in a standoff.
Li Shiming was frozen on the ladder to his bunk bed, unable to go up or down.
Liu Yongheng was poised to deliver a "Thousand Years of Pain," his hands aimed right at Li Shiming’s exposed rear! The sight made Li Shiming shriek in terror where he stood.
"You just wait! I’ll drink you under the table tonight!"
Liu Yongheng chuckled. "I’m just helping you push your hemorrhoids back in! You should thank me for saving your ass! Now, call me ’Daddy’!"
Pang Guang, meanwhile, was sitting in his chair, holding a book and chuckling as he watched their antics.
"Alright, alright! Hurry up and get your things so we can go. I need to buy some stuff first!"
Wu Yun’s arrival broke the stalemate. Li Shiming seized the opportunity to jump down from the ladder, stumbling as he landed.
Urged on by Wu Yun, Li Shiming quickly gathered his things. After slathering his face with a series of skincare lotions, he followed the others out and closed the door.
Downstairs, the chalk-white G63’s lights flashed twice, and its side mirrors slowly unfolded.
"Holy shit, Boss! You got a new car?!" Liu Yongheng circled the G63, running his hand over the paint and making impressed clicking sounds.
"An AMG G63... so sick!"
Liu Yongheng poked his head out from behind the car and asked, "Boss, how much did this set you back?"
Wu Yun pulled open the car door and said, "2.8 million. Get in, quick! We’ll talk in the car!"
With the threat of another poke to the butt, Liu Yongheng kicked Li Shiming out of the passenger seat. He slid in, chuckled, and said, "This is way more badass than my dad’s old Bentley. That’s it! Now that military training is over, I have to buy a car! For my future happiness!"
’Wu Yun was quite curious about Liu Yongheng’s family. After all, he was from Jin Province. Could he be the son of a legendary mine boss?’
In his past life, Wu Yun had basically lost contact with Liu Yongheng after graduation when Liu returned to Jin Province. Back in school, Liu Yongheng’s clothes and style had always suggested his family was better off than anyone else’s, but he was very low-key and never flaunted it.
He hadn’t expected that, due to his influence, the Liu Yongheng of this life was starting to change.
"What car are you planning to buy?" Wu Yun asked, steering around a student on a bike.
"Haven’t decided yet! Got any recommendations, Boss?" Liu Yongheng asked, tapping the trim on the center console.
"What’s your budget?" Wu Yun asked.
"Under 4 million, I guess. I only have 5 million in savings from my New Year’s money!" Liu Yongheng said casually.
"What? Five million! A whale has been by my side all along!" Li Shiming exclaimed in shock. He shot upright, leaned forward, and said fawningly, "Yongheng! You can ream me anytime! Let me latch onto your thigh!"
The pride Li Shiming once had as a Rongcheng native from a family with a small demolition payout had long since been shattered to dust by Wu Yun and Liu Yongheng.
Pang Guang sat silently in the back, looking out the window, his eyes filled with both envy and determination.
"If you want a pure pussy magnet, then get a sports car. There are plenty of options under 4 million—Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche, Aston Martin, they’re all decent. There’s also the Bentley Continental! I guarantee if you park in front of any university and put a bottle of water on your roof, someone will grab it."
"I haven’t driven or ridden in that many cars, though. If you want a sports car that’s also comfortable, then don’t even consider a McLaren. The 911 I’ve driven is way more comfortable than a Lamborghini."
Wu Yun thought of Qi Fei’s 911. While its power was a huge step down from the Big Black Bull, its comfort was streets ahead.
He glanced over at Liu Yongheng and saw the look of longing on his face.
"For sedans and SUVs, you can pretty much pick anything. But I’d recommend sticking to well-known brands. Otherwise, you could buy an Acura and some girl might think you’re driving a beat-up old Chang’an and won’t even give you the time of day."
"But if you buy an SUV, you can take your girlfriend—and a third wheel—to enjoy the beautiful scenery of our Shushan mountains during the holidays." As he spoke, Wu Yun glanced in the rearview mirror at Li Shiming, who was sitting in the middle.
Wu Yun smiled and focused on driving, not intending to make the decision for Liu Yongheng. ’Buying a car is like choosing a girlfriend. She might not be the most suitable, but she’s definitely the one you like the most.’
It was like when he chose the Big Black Bull. Some people had advised him to get orange or yellow, but he followed his heart and chose black because he liked it more.
"Alright! Boss, I’ll check out some cars online over the next few days. When I’m ready to buy, could you come with me to take a look if you’re free?"
Liu Yongheng decided to look at cars first and think it over. He was pretty conflicted. Wu Yun’s "pussy magnet" comment had gotten him all excited. ’Ah, this damn age of eighteen!’
