Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 745 Xixi's Round

Wednesday morning.

Li Luo accompanied Ying Chanxi to the classroom to attend the elective course together.

The two chose to sit in the corner, and Li Luo took Ying Chanxi's small hand in his and began to play with it.

"The Audi dealership just called me and said I can pick up the car anytime this afternoon," Ying Chanxi said, letting Li Luo massage her small hands under the table. Her hands felt warm from his massage as she enjoyed it.

"Okay." Li Luo nodded. "Then I'll drive you there this afternoon, and then you can drive the new car back?"

"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi hesitated for a moment, then muttered softly, "It's my first time driving this new car, could you sit in the passenger seat with me?"

"What about the car we drove there?"

"Could you please come along, senior?"

"Never mind, I'll call Butler Liu over," Li Luo said. "He can drive us there and then bring the car back for me."

"Okay," Ying Chanxi nodded happily. "But don't you have class this afternoon?"

"It's over."

“…Isn’t this bad?”

"What's wrong with it? It's just a low-level class." Li Luo said with a smile, holding Ying Chanxi's small hand. "Nothing is more important than my Xixi who's with me."

"Hmph~" Ying Chanxi felt sweet inside after hearing what he said, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She was full of joy.

After the elective course "Astronomical Observation and Space Exploration" ended, Li Luo had lunch with Ying Chanxi in the school cafeteria.

The two then walked hand in hand to the school gate, where Butler Liu was already waiting on time in Li Luo's Audi A6.

Li Luo and Ying Chanxi sat directly in the back seat. After watching the two get in and close the door, Butler Liu, who was in the driver's seat, slowly started the car and drove towards the car park in the city.

"How's it going at the villa?"

After starting the car, Li Luo asked Butler Liu.

"The furniture has been installed, and the cat villa on the second floor has been renovated. The professional formaldehyde removal company moved in on Monday."

Butler Liu explained methodically, "It will take about two months. During that time, we will install a long-term formaldehyde monitoring instrument on each floor to ensure that the formaldehyde levels do not fluctuate later."

"Then we should be able to check in before your birthday, right?" Ying Chanxi asked expectantly after hearing this.

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any problem." Li Luo smiled, patted Ying Chanxi's head, pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Have you thought about what gift to prepare for me?"

"Hmph~ Even if I had made up my mind, I wouldn't have told you in advance." Ying Chanxi blushed slightly as Li Luo pulled her into his arms, glancing somewhat shyly at Butler Liu in the front row.

Seeing that he was staring straight ahead without paying any attention to the movements in the back row, Ying Chanxi breathed a slight sigh of relief and leaned against Li Luo's chest with peace of mind.

Butler Liu sat up straight, leaning back in his chair, his eyes fixed straight ahead, perfectly demonstrating the basic qualities of a professional butler.

"How many times have you driven since you got your driver's license?" Li Luo asked again. "Don't cause any problems when you drive your new car later."

"You underestimate me?" Ying Chanxi lightly punched him in the chest and then nudged him twice with her head. "I drove a motorhome during the summer vacation, okay? How could I have become so rusty so quickly?"

“However, my Audi A6’s license plate has been entered into the school system by Uncle Xu, so I can drive it into the school,” Li Luo said. “Your new car can’t be entered yet. We’ll have to ask Uncle Xu again to see if he can enter your new car into the system as well.”

Ying Chanxi didn't want to trouble others, but it would be best if the new car could enter and leave the school.

So she didn't object and obediently nodded while leaning against Li Luo's chest.

"It seems like my car is registered under my aunt's name," Li Luo said, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "I can see if any of her colleagues haven't bought a car yet, and ask them for a favor."

With that in mind, Li Luo simply took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Jian Chun to ask her for help. If that didn't solve the problem, he would then contact Xu Rongsheng.

Not long after, Jian Chun sent a reply.

[Simple and Pure]: Every faculty and staff member in the school can apply for their own car, which is marked as their daily work vehicle.

[Jian Chun]: Your car is indeed registered in my name. The vice president told me about it before.

[Jian Chun]: If you have any new cars that you want to register, I can ask my colleagues for you, but it definitely won't be free.

[Li Luo]: That's definitely no problem. It's like renting a parking space. We'll agree on the monthly rent.

[Li Luo]: Anyway, the teachers' spots are just sitting there, so it's not bad to earn some pocket money, right?
[Jian Chun]: That's true. Counselors' salaries are generally quite average, haha. I'll go ask around for you.

[Jianchun]: What rent range do you think is suitable?
[Li Luo]: Around 1,000 a month, or you can ask them what they expect first.

[Jianchun]: Okay, I'll let you know when I get any news.

[Li Luo]: There are three parking spaces. Ask a few more.

[Jian Chun]: Huh? Three?

[Li Luo]: Yes, Xixi, Zhusheng, and Youyu, I bought them all a new car, and we were short of parking spaces.

[Simple and Pure]: ...

[Li Luo]: Auntie, would you like one?

[Jian Chun]: No way, your uncle usually picks me up, so I don't need to drive.

[Jian Chun]: I'm busy right now, I'll let you know tonight.

[Li Luo]: OK, thank you for your trouble, Aunt.

With each call of "Auntie," Li Luo realized that Jian Chun had completely adapted to the title, and it seemed that Lin Xiufeng's marriage was almost a done deal.

Li Luo was also very pleased about this.

Arranging for my uncle to open a milk tea shop near the university back then seems like a very wise decision in retrospect.

Compared to his previous life where he accomplished nothing, Lin Xiufeng in this life, while not having any outstanding achievements, actually has a stable income, a happy life, and has even found a student from Qianjiang University to be his wife.

Jian Chun just graduated with a master's degree this year and is only in her early twenties, while Lin Xiufeng is already thirty-five years old. The two are nine years apart in age.

Although the age difference is actually acceptable, Lin Xiufeng is well-maintained. He used to work outside for many years, but after returning to Yinjiang District, he would occasionally exercise.

He actually looks about the same age as a man in his early thirties, and he and Jian Chun look quite well-matched.

Just thinking about how her uncle was already working in society when he was in college, while Jian Chun was probably still in elementary school at that time, made Li Luo feel a little uneasy.

Butler Liu drove Li Luo and Ying Chanxi to the entrance of the auto park in his Audi A6. After getting out of the car, Li Luo said to Butler Liu in the driver's seat, "You can go back now, don't wait for us."

"Okay." Butler Liu nodded, watched Li Luo and Ying Chanxi walk into the car park, and then drove back.

Li Luo led Ying Chanxi into the Audi 4S store. Upon seeing the two, the salesperson immediately came forward and enthusiastically led them to the back garage to pick up their car.

After Ying Chanxi sat in the driver's seat, she listened attentively as the salesperson once again introduced the various functions and details of the car.

After all the checks were completed and found to be in order, Li Luo paid the remaining balance in one lump sum and then got into Ying Chanxi's passenger seat.

"Let's go." Li Luo glanced at Ying Chanxi, who was sitting upright in the driver's seat, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you so nervous?"

"A car worth over a million..." Ying Chanxi wiggled her hips, still a little uncomfortable, leaned back in the wide seat, and adjusted the angle of the seat. "Let me get used to it first."

“Okay, there’s plenty of time, no rush.” Li Luo fastened his seatbelt and quieted down, leaving the time to Ying Chanxi.

Sitting upright in the driver's seat, Ying Chanxi took a deep breath after adjusting the car for a while before finally starting it and slowly driving away from the car park.

The Audi 4S store salesperson escorted them all the way to the door and watched them leave.

Once they were finally on the road, Ying Chanxi, with a little excitement and joy, steadily drove Li Luo toward Yinjiang District.

I have to say, this feeling is really different.

Although Li Luo had bought her a Honda Fit before, Ying Chanxi believed that Li Luo had persuaded Lin Xiuhong to buy it in order to cooperate with the performance.

Therefore, Ying Chanxi always thought that the Fit belonged to Lin Xiuhong and never thought that it was something Li Luo bought specifically for her.

And right now, the top-of-the-line Audi A8 she's driving, worth over a million yuan, is a luxury new car that Li Luo personally gave her.

The feeling is completely different.

Ying Chanxi, who grew up with Li Luo, had imagined many future scenarios, but never thought that such a scene would happen when they were still in college.

Driving the car given to her by her beloved, Ying Chanxi drove very carefully, afraid that she might bump into it or scratch it if she wasn't careful, which would make her feel heartbroken for a long time.

"Speaking of which, why did you choose a black Audi?" Li Luo asked. "Actually, I felt that white would suit you better."

"Black is more sophisticated and has a more business-like style, making it suitable for driving around and negotiating business deals," Ying Chanxi explained.

But what she really wanted to do was to wait until Li Luo got tired of driving his Audi A6, and then she could switch cars with him.

If we're talking about colors that suit Li Luo best, then black definitely looks more sophisticated.

Ying Chanxi drove the new car back to Bihai Lanting, much slower than Butler Liu, and it took him more than an hour to reach the entrance of the community.

After parking in the parking space downstairs, Ying Chanxi turned off the engine and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, she heard the sound of a door opening next door.

Seeing that Li Luo was about to get out of the car, Ying Chanxi quickly reached out and grabbed Li Luo's arm.

"Hey, wait!"

"Hmm?" Li Luo was pulled back by her, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ying Chanxi in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Um...this...that..." Ying Chanxi's cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled the battle achievements Yan Zhusheng had shared with her last night, and she stammered.

In the end, she was too embarrassed to say it, so she just randomly tapped her fingers on the car's dashboard and ended up selecting a song: "I want to listen to some music and see how the sound system is. Can you sit with me in the car for a while longer?"

“Okay.” Li Luo, without any suspicion, readily agreed.

Since I've already skipped the afternoon water class, and I don't have anything else to do right now, it won't hurt to stay in the car with Ying Chanxi for a while.

Thinking this, Li Luo reached out and adjusted the height of the car seat back, then half-reclined and sighed comfortably.

Ying Chanxi looked at Li Luo in the passenger seat with a hint of interest in his eyes. After silently unbuckling his seatbelt, he took advantage of Li Luo's closed eyes to rest and crawled over to him.

By the time Li Luo realized what was happening, Ying Chanxi had already climbed halfway over.

"What do you want to do?"

"N-nothing."

Seeing that he had noticed her movements, Ying Chanxi quickened her pace, swiftly leaning over Li Luo and hugging him tightly against his chest. "Just a hug, please."

"No wonder you were holding me back from getting out of the car." Li Luo chuckled and pulled her into his arms. "So you wanted to hug me in the car?"

"No, I didn't..." Ying Chanxi's cheeks flushed slightly. After Li Luo saw through her little secret, she was a little embarrassed to look him in the eye.

But Li Luo had already reached out, deliberately lifting Ying Chanxi's chin, and gently kissed her, then forced her to look him in the eye: "Feeling guilty?"

Ying Chanxi felt a little shy under his gaze, so she quickly turned around and sat in his lap with her back to him.

Li Luo didn't continue teasing her. He chuckled and put his arm around her slender waist, and his hand slowly began to wander.

Ying Chanxi clearly sensed Li Luo's misbehavior, not only from the thieving hand reaching into her clothes, but also from the naughty thing under her buttocks.

Thinking of what Yan Zhusheng had said last night, Ying Chanxi blushed and her heart pounded. Leaning against Li Luo's chest, her right hand secretly reached down.

Just as Ying Chanxi mustered up her courage, several people happened to pass by outside the car.

A little kid ran past the car window, laughing and joking, followed by a couple.

Although people outside didn't notice what was happening inside the car at all, especially since the windows were specially modified so that people outside couldn't see inside.

Ying Chanxi was still startled, and immediately buried her face in Li Luo's arms. Her little hand, which had been trying to steal a chicken, was immediately pulled back, and she didn't dare to make another move.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Luo glanced at the family of three passing by outside, then looked down at Ying Chanxi in his arms, before whispering in her ear with a chuckle, "Are you shy?"

Li Luo thought that Ying Chanxi was shy because she was afraid of being discovered by outsiders when he secretly touched her.

But they had no idea what Ying Chanxi had been planning to do.

"Let's go back," Ying Chanxi muttered softly. "Or maybe I should go back and take a shower?"

"It's only 3:30 in the afternoon," Li Luo said with a hint of helplessness. "Showering so early?"

"Aren't you going to wash it?" Ying Chanxi reached out and poked it, muttering softly, "It seems like it really wants to wash."

"...What you said makes sense."
