Chapter 409: 409: I Want to Be Your Love Rival

(Fourth Update)

Chen Xiaoyi took down Luo Ziling’s ID number and said if necessary, she’d ask him to send photos of both the front and back of his ID for real-name verification. Luo Ziling didn’t bring his ID with him, so he simply told Chen Xiaoyi the number.

After jotting down Luo Ziling’s ID number, Chen Xiaoyi was slightly disappointed because Luo Ziling turned out to be more than three whole years younger than her, but realizing that he was just a freshman, she got over it.

Chen Xiaoyi told Luo Ziling that once she had everything set up and verified, she would give him the account login information.

If Luo Ziling was willing to let her help manage and maintain the accounts, then she would handle it for him; if not, he could just change the password.

With Chen Xiaoyi saying that, how could Luo Ziling possibly disagree? So he agreed to let her help with the maintenance and operation of the accounts.

Of course, at that time, Luo Ziling hadn’t anticipated that this would stir up quite a bit of trouble later on.

After spending roughly an hour in the tea house, Luo Ziling mentioned that it was getting late and suggested they head back to sleep early.

“So early?” Chen Xiaoyi checked the time; it was only half-past nine. Accustomed to going to bed late, she couldn’t help but feel surprised. She had wanted to take Luo Ziling out for some fun.

“Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy,” Luo Ziling said with a shy smile, then looked at Chen Xiaoyi, “Anchor Chen, I think you often look a bit off-color because of lack of sleep. You should make sure to get enough rest.”

“Alright, I’ll take your advice, future doctor,” Chen Xiaoyi didn’t dwell on the topic with Luo Ziling and stood up, “Then I’ll give you a ride back to the university!”

Luo Ziling politely declined, “I can walk back, it’s only a few kilometers. Consider it exercise.”

But Chen Xiaoyi insisted on giving him a lift, saying it was on her way.

Luo Ziling had no choice but to agree.

Once he was in Chen Xiaoyi’s Porsche Cayenne, Luo Ziling asked with a smile, “Why do you like to drive such a big car?”

“I like powerful cars,” Chen Xiaoyi started the car with a smile, “Do you think only boys like driving big cars?”

“No, that’s not it,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “It’s just that such a big car seems more suited for men; women might find something more agile fitting.”

“But I like to drive big cars,” Chen Xiaoyi pressed the accelerator, speeding up the car, “I like driving big and fast. I’m pretty good at driving, and I’ve even raced before. If you’re interested, I can take you to see a race sometime. It’s thrilling.”

Luo Ziling didn’t have the heart to decline on the spot, so he gave a non-committal response, “We’ll see. If I have time, I might check it out.”

“Do you know how to drive?” Perhaps due to professional habit, Chen Xiaoyi talked a lot, which was completely different from other women Luo Ziling knew, including Ouyang Feifei and Lin Lan.

Although Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Huihui were quite talkative, Luo Ziling knew that they weren’t as talkative with other people; they just liked chatting with him. However, Chen Xiaoyi’s talkativeness seemed to be an expression of enthusiasm. When she spoke, her voice was rather high-pitched, conveying a very forthright impression.

And when she spoke, she liked to look into your eyes, her gaze was always very passionate, or at least that’s how Luo Ziling felt.

“I don’t know how to drive,” Luo Ziling shook his head shyly, feeling a bit embarrassed under Chen Xiaoyi’s enthusiastic gaze.

“You should hurry up and learn, the sooner you learn, the sooner you can buy a car. It’s quite convenient to get a driver’s license now. If you want to go for it, I can pull some strings for you, you’ll definitely pass,” Chen Xiaoyi offered eagerly, “then you can have your family buy you a car, and your life will be much more convenient.”

“If I go for the driver’s license, I’ll definitely let you pull some strings for me,” Luo Ziling did not refuse Chen Xiaoyi’s kindness.

For Luo Ziling, he always had a good impression of those who treated him well and were warm to him.

Although he was now enjoying maternal love, the near twenty years of absence still made him crave affection from more people.

English teacher Chen Wanqing was very warm to him, and he was quite grateful, but then Ouyang Huihui came along and the truth came out, which he felt a little regret about. Of course, another reason was that they were both quite beautiful, and beautiful women tended to make a better impression.

After parking at the school’s entrance, Chen Xiaoyi, who hadn’t stopped talking, extended her hand to Luo Ziling: “Thank you for treating me today, I’ll treat you back another day, and you must grace me with your presence.”

“No worries,” Luo Ziling thought Chen Xiaoyi was just being polite and didn’t give it much thought. He shook her hand and then got out of the car.

After Chen Xiaoyi drove away from the entrance of Yan University, she used the car’s Bluetooth to call one of her best girlfriends.

“Qianqian, let me tell you a secret, I met a really handsome young guy during an interview, and the moment I saw his eyes, I fell for him.”

Chen Xiaoyi’s straightforwardness brought a gasp of surprise from the other end of the line: “No way, tomboy, there’s actually a guy you like? Is the sun rising from the west now?”

“It’s true,” Chen Xiaoyi said earnestly, “It’s just a pity, he’s four years younger than me, still a freshman, what a shame!”

“My God, how could this be?” Another gasp came from the receiver, “You have to send me a photo right now, I want to check out this guy’s assets. If I think he’s worth you swallowing your pride and not worrying about the age gap to pursue, then you brave forward, and I will support you. Whether it’s using your charm or employing a diversionary tactic, I’m willing to help, even if it means sacrificing my beauty for the cause.”

“Cut it out,” Chen Xiaoyi laughed and scolded, then added, “I’m driving, I’ll send you the photo later. Oh by the way, you can watch the program I hosted tonight. He was the one I interviewed.”

“Alright, I’m watching it now, was just in front of the TV,” the person on the other end seemed to be replaying the program, using the remote control while still talking to Chen Xiaoyi, “I have to see what kind of guy made you, who never cared for men, fall for him. Wow, he really is handsome, so pure, so adorable, oh my, tomboy, I’m smitten at first sight, what should I do?”

“Qianqian, I’m warning you, don’t fight over a guy with me,” Chen Xiaoyi teased her girlfriend while laughing, “The kind of man you want is the mature and steady type, not this kind of green young man.”

“Can’t I change my taste? My God, he really is handsome, his eyes are so enchanting, I’m in love with him too, what should I do? Tomboy, I’m going to be your rival in love and fight you for him. Hurry up and give me this young man’s phone number and WeChat, I want to add him right now.” By the end, the woman on the phone was laughing even harder.

“Okay, enough kidding around, I can give you his number and WeChat, but if I decide to pursue him, you won’t stand a chance against me, I’m a virgin, you’re not, hmph, you’re utterly defeated just by that!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You don’t know, do you? These inexperienced young guys, they like women with experience the most, I have the advantage over you. Haha!”

“Go die,” Chen Xiaoyi laughed and cursed, then hung up the phone.
