Under the blazing sun, people were bustling in and out of the entrance of Magic City University.
Wei Anping was standing at the school gate, clutching a small box in his hand, his heart racing.
Dressed in a school uniform, his eyes were intensely focused in the direction of the classroom building.
Finally, the school's beauty, Qi Yingran, appeared.
She was carrying a pink bag, walking over with light steps.
Wei Anping took a deep breath, gathering up the courage to approach her.
"Qi Yingran, I... I like you. This is a gift for you. Would you go out with me?"
He stuttered out, handing over the box.
Qi Yingran took a good look at Wei Anping from head to toe. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her tone carried an obvious displeasure. "What the hell is this supposed to be?"
"A... a necklace."
"How much did it cost?"
"One... one thousand."
Qi Yingran snorted, "Just this thousand-buck trinket, you think it's up to my standard?"
Wei Anping opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Qi Yingran. "Do you have no self-awareness of what kind of person you are? You are trying to pursue me? Dream on!"
As Qi Yingran's words came out, they immediately aroused a heated discussion among the surrounding students.
"The young man is quite handsome, looking refined and elegant. Why wouldn’t Qi Yingran give him a chance?"
"Pff, isn’t it just about money?"
"But I haven’t heard that she's seeing anyone?"
"'Fool, she's sizing people up! Once she finds a suitable person, she’ll be more proactive than anyone."
"So she's still an innocent little bunny?"
"Who knows, anyway, without money, you don’t even qualify to date."
......
Wei Anping looked at Qi Yingran with her eyes full of contempt, unconsciously clenched his fists, his heart filled with bitter sadness.
He lost the battle before it even began, such injustice.
Is it true that because he is poor, he doesn’t deserve love?
Even though he comes from a poor family, his ambition is not lacking!
Everything he has, he's achieved with the sweat of his brow.
What's there to be ashamed of things gained by his own labor?!
As Wei Anping got lost in this muddle of thoughts, a cold electronic voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
【Option 1: Continue to woo her, success rate +10%】.
【Option 2: Leave quietly and receive a reward of one hundred thousand yuan.】
【Option 3: Tease with the phrase "Truly no regrets?", and receive a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron!】
【Please make a choice.】
Wei Anping froze momentarily, but quickly regained his composure.
What strange things wouldn't happen in today's world?
The frustration in his heart vanished instantly, replaced by a burst of secret delight.
Is there even a need to choose?
Of course, it's the third one!
What's so great about money! Why not go for a Bugatti Veyron instead?
Thinking about it, Wei Anping couldn't help but grin.
On seeing this, Qi Yingran's contempt only grew.
"What are you laughing at? Trying to act all mysterious in front of me? Have you lost your mind? Just let me pass, I still have lunch to eat. And cease to appear before me in the future, got it?"
Wei Anping looked playfully at Qi Yingran before him, chuckling as he said, "Are you sure you won't regret it?"
"Regret? What would I regret? Regret not choosing a pauper like you?" Qi Yingran sneered.
【Ding dong! The Bugatti Veyron Ultimate Edition is parked at the school gate corner, the keys have been distributed to your pocket.】
Weian Ping felt something hard in his pocket as the system's electronic voice cut off.
"Hope you can maintain the composure you have right now later."
Weian Ping glanced at Qi Yingran, his tone tinged with a touch of teasing, then turned around and headed towards the corner of the school gate.
Everyone's eyes followed him, closely tailing Weian Ping's figure.
He pulled out a small and exquisite remote control from his pocket and lightly pressed it.
Not far away, the blinding Bugatti Veyron Supreme flashed its lights, and the car door opened automatically.
The people around were stunned, their eyes widening, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.
"Damn, since when was there a Bugatti parked here?"
"Way too cool, my eyes are about to go blind!"
"Wait, why does this car model look so unfamiliar? I've never seen it in car magazines."
"I found it! It's the Bugatti Veyron Supreme, a globally limited edition, starting at one billion US dollars! Moreover, the interior is all made of pure gold. It's simply a palace on land!"
...
People around started to discuss in a clamor, cries of astonishment were heard from all directions.
Qi Yingran was even more surprised, her mouth agape as she watched Weian Ping walk towards the luxury car.
What had she just done? She had actually rejected a top-tier rich second generation!
"You're actually a rich second generation? Why didn't you say so earlier? Why the pretense of humility?"
It was only a step away from joining the elite now!
"Uh... hold on for a moment."
Qi Yingran looked around, feeling the mocking gazes of the people nearby.
But what did losing face matter now, for the sake of realizing the life she dreamt of?
If she could really associate with Wei Anping, she wouldn't have to strive for the rest of her life!
She would directly ascend to the peak of life!
【1: Depart with Qi Yingran, reward: Rapid surge in Qi Yingran's favorability.】
【2: Decisively turn around and leave, reward: +1% temperament value.】
【3: Turn around and give Qi Yingran an internationally known "friendly" gesture, reward: a luxury duplex with a river view.】
【Please make your choice, host.】
Wei Anping slowly turned around, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer.
He raised his hand and made an internationally recognized "friendly" gesture at Qi Yingran.
"Gold-digger, stay away from me!" Wei Anping snorted coldly, "Take a look at yourself in the mirror, do you think you're worthy to be my girlfriend?"
After saying that, he stylishly slid into the driver's seat, leaving the crowd staring in astonishment.
"Ding! Congratulations, dear Host, you just won a luxurious, fully-furnished riverside apartment. All you have to do is move in~."
With the departure of Wei Anping, all eyes turned unanimously onto Qi Yingran, who remained frozen on the spot.
Her face was deathly pale, as if she had just been slapped hard across the face in public.
A group of gossip-lovers uploaded this shocking video to the school's intranet, instantly causing a sensation across the whole campus.
In the blink of an eye, the true colors of Qi Yingran had spread all over campus.
What was once only rumored, now had hard evidence to back it up.
Qi Yingran fled in disgrace, but she secretly vowed to herself: she would definitely chase after Wei Anping and experience the extravagant life!
—
Meanwhile, Wei Anping was parading around the streets in his Bugatti Veyron.
The roar of the engine was deafening, turning heads of bystanders on the street.
Just when he was preparing to visit his own seaside villa, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID said, Auntie Landlord.
Wei Anping prudently pulled over and answered the call.
His driving etiquette could be said to be exemplary.
"Wei Anping, there will be new tenants moving in tomorrow, you should pack up and leave ASAP!"
From the other end of the phone came a sharp, harsh female voice.
On hearing the discordant sound, Wei Anping couldn't help but furrow his brows, his face filled with distaste.
"Auntie, haven't I already paid the rent?"
"So what? You think I care about your measly money? I'll tell you the truth, I've already found a new tenant who's offering an extra hundred dollars each month. If you're willing to increase your offer..."
Before the landlord could finish, Wei Anping let out a cold laugh, disdainfully interrupting, "Heh, your petty mindset is showing."
With that, he firmly and swiftly ended the call, and started up his Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport.
With the roar of the luxury car's engine, Wei Anping hit the gas, heading directly to his river-view mansion.
