Zhang Pengfei had a bit of a headache.
Actually, he only had a little money, and to show off in front of Su Wan, he went all out this time.
Never expected it would all come to nothing—but man, the '82 Lafite was really good.
"Mr. Zhang, there's not enough balance on this card."
The words of the waiter snapped Zhang Pengfei back to reality, and he hurriedly took out another card, "Swipe this card too."
"I also have some cash..."
He embarrassingly pulled out a few bills from his pocket.
The waiter maintained his professional smile, but clearly it was almost too much.
It was the first time a five-star hotel had seen someone pay like this.
Finally, Zhang Pengfei managed to gather enough money to pay the bill.
No way around it, he added a few more dishes later, and exceeded his budget.
Zhang Pengfei shook his head and sighed as he walked out of Huai City Hotel.
Seeing another female classmate's silhouette, his spirits lifted again.
Su Wan was a lost cause, but this other classmate wasn't too bad.
He couldn't let all the money he spent today go down the drain!
Zhang Pengfei approached the female classmate and pressed the car key.
The Mercedes-Benz C parked on the roadside immediately lit up, and he smiled and said, "Classmate, may I give you a ride home..."
Before Zhang Pengfei could finish his sentence, a Lamborghini Urus suddenly stopped at the hotel entrance.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.
The female classmates who didn't know much about cars, still recognized the handsome logo of the luxury vehicle.
"Wow! Is that a Lamborghini?"
"Lamborghini has an SUV?"
"It's a Lamborghini Urus, that car must cost several million!"
Zhang Pengfei watched, dumbfounded, as Lin Shuang and Su Wan got into that Lamborghini.
As for the female classmate he just hit on, she had already run over to greet Lin Shuang.
This time, Su Wan's scowl couldn't stop these crazy female classmates!
"Lin Shuang! Give me a chance too!"
"Master Lin, here's my WeChat ID..."
"Master Lin! Don't set your gender preference too rigid!"
Lin Shuang felt a chill and quickly asked the driver to step on the gas and flee.
He and Su Wan, sitting in the back, were laughing and pointed behind, at Zhang Pengfei's lonely figure.
"Look at that guy, doesn't he look just like a lost dog?"
Su Wan took off her high heels, her fair feet resting on the seat, "Lin Dasha, where on earth did you get all this money? I won't need to bring you meals tomorrow, will I?"
"It's all inclusive inside, right?—Don't worry, it's all legally obtained."
System Lady sent it, absolutely legal.
Su Wan didn't continue the topic, and asked instead, "By the way, our little scooter is still parked in front of the hotel!"
"What 'our'? That scooter is my love! Can't you respect my boundaries?"
Lin Shuang looked cheerfully at the interior, every boy would be captivated by the interior of a Lamborghini, which resembled a fighter jet.
"Aren't you just pretending to be my boyfriend?"
Su Wan's feet fidgeted, her toenails painted with shiny pink nail polish.
This beauty truly had no bad angles.
"Isn't it over yet? How about calling me 'hubby'?"
Su Wan stretched out her hand, "Where's my dowry?"
Lin Shuang had the driver pull over, placing the scooter key in her palm, "Get off here. Wanwan, help me take the little scooter back."
Su Wan incredulously widened her eyes at him, "What did you say I should do? Say it again?"
She turned, stretched her feet straight, and stepped on his face, "Lin Dasha, feeling bold, aren't you?"
Lin Shuang held her foot, "Stinky feet... please, Wanwan, I need to hurry up and check on Xiao Han."
Hearing the keyword "Xiao Han," Su Wan curled his lips and raised a finger, "At least a barbecue meal."
"Deal!"
After setting down Su Wan, the Lamborghini sped away.
Xiao Han, named Yan Han.
Yan Han is a friend of Lin Shuang's parents, an orphan entrusted to their family.
Growing up in his home from a young age, she called Lin Shuang's parents "mom and dad," and also called him Brother Shuang.
Yan Han became blind not long after her birth and grew up in darkness.
In her previous life, Yan Han ultimately chose to slit her wrists and commit suicide amidst the darkness.
The last time Lin Shuang saw his sister Yan Han, she was dressed in a bright, beautiful dress, lying in a pool of blood.
Remembering that melancholic and mournful scene, he clenched his fists tightly.
Starting over was to make up for these regrets.
After the accidental death of Lin Shuang's parents, Yan Han moved away, living alone in a house left by her own parents on the other side of Huai City.
He also suggested several times that Yan Han move back in with him so he could take care of her more conveniently.
But every time, she vehemently refused.
Lin Shuang was increasingly puzzled by the thoughts of his sister Yan Han.
Clearly before, Xiao Han used to stick close to him...
Arriving at Yan Han's house, Lin Shuang gently knocked on the door, then used the key to open it.
He had a spare key to this place.
"Xiao Han?"
Lin Shuang changed his shoes and softly called out her name.
As he walked into the living room, indeed, his sister Yan Han was awkwardly sleeping on the sofa.
He carefully tucked the blanket around her and straightened the hair sticking to her face.
Her sleeping face was very well-behaved, like a delicate doll.
Now, it seems only when she is asleep does she show such a well-behaved expression towards him.
Lin Shuang sat beside her, looking at her for a long time.
In the dimly lit living room, with only the TV showing an anime series, her eyes could not see, only listen to the sounds.
The house was fairly tidy; she has loved cleanliness since her childhood, and a cleaning lady also came to help clean every week.
The table had cold takeout food, apparently leftovers from lunch.
Lin Shuang silently shook his head and tiptoed into the kitchen.
There were some ingredients in the fridge; little Yan Han had been adapting since childhood, and even though blind, she could live on her own.
He started the stove and cooked her fried rice with eggs.
On the living room sofa, Yan Han slowly woke up.
— At first, like a frightened little rabbit, she curled up into a ball due to the additional noise in the house.
Soon, she sniffed the familiar scent lingering beside the sofa.
It was Brother Shuang.
Thus she finally let down her guard and relaxed even more than before, lying on the sofa.
It was the scent of Brother Shuang…
Sounds of clinking and clanging came from the kitchen, while Yan Han lay on the sofa, imagining herself lying in Brother Shuang's arms.
A slow smile of contentment spread across her face.
Until the noise from the kitchen stopped, she immediately sat up straight, with a stern expression.
The next second, the kitchen door opened, and Lin Shuang came out holding a bowl of egg fried rice.
"Xiao Han, you're awake. Come, eat it while it's hot."
Yan Han's vacant eyes looked in his direction, speaking coldly, "Why are you here again."
With a look of annoyance on her face, "You're not welcome here, please leave."
Before Lin Shuang's eyes, the system dialog box popped up once again.
[Choice Initiated]
[Stay and accompany Yan Han overnight, will trigger a mission]
[Turn around and leave, and the host will receive five million]
