Chapter 23 No Choice, He Gave Too Much
Having spoken, Fang Minhui's eyes were misty, and she bashfully lowered her head, wishing she could bury it completely in her chest.
She often scrolled through videos and jokes, and Chen Ling would inject these things into her from time to time, so of course, she knew what Shen Yuan meant by his words.
He just wanted it, didn't he...
Meanwhile, the perplexed Shen Yuan on the opposite side was thinking, hold on, sis, I was just asking if you want a hot or cold drink, what's with that expression?
After a two-second pause, Shen Yuan realized, oh dear, her mind went there?
To be honest, facing Fang Minhui who had studied dance and had a graceful figure, especially with her shy demeanor now, Shen Yuan also felt somewhat stirred.
After all, the last time he had been with Zhou Wanting was, well, the time before the last.
As a young man brimming with vitality, he had saved up quite a bit, and he really needed to spend it.
So be it, so be it, Shen Yuan inwardly sighed, let this misunderstanding be more intense then!
After dinner, Shen Yuan took Fang Minhui to the second floor of IFC Mall.
This time, Shen Yuan first selected a Longines watch for Fang Minhui, from the La Grande series, a quartz watch priced at 12,800.
Then, they purchased a COCO silver bracelet from Chanel, costing 20,800.
Lastly, the handbag chosen was LV's GO-14, with a price tag of 50,500.
In total, he had spent 84,000, and the system's triple cash-back netted him a benefit of 168,000!
And during this shopping trip, Fang Minhui's Feel-good Index towards Shen Yuan had actually increased again, from the previous 76 to now 81, a full five-point rise!
Seeing the change in the Feel-good Index above Fang Minhui's head, Shen Yuan had a flicker of excitement in his eyes, as though he was not facing the class belle of their class, but a money tree that kept flowering and bearing fruit.
Because for every three-point increase in the Feel-good Index, the system would also return the spending amount.
Sure enough, Shen Yuan received another transaction notification on his phone.
[Construction Bank]Your card ending in 0098 received an income of 84,100 yuan on May 12th at 11:39, with a current balance of 1,782,556.
Of course, this included the final payment for ordering a car, and even after deducting the last payment of 830,000, the money he could spend had reached 940,000!
...
At 9:30 in the evening, in the penthouse of Dafuhao 808, Fang Minhui was nervously sitting on the bed, fiddling with her phone.
Chen Ling had just sent her a message on WeChat, asking when she would return to the dorm, and she had no idea how to respond.
If she simply said she wouldn't be coming back tonight, Chen Ling would definitely ask why. How could she not tell her?
But if she told her the real reason... that she was with Shen Yuan...
How embarrassing...
Fang Minhui bit her pink lips, staring at the screen, feeling conflicted.
On the other hand, she was also nervous.
After Shen Yuan made his request tonight, she could have refused.
They had only had their first date yesterday, so this development was really too fast.
But then again, yesterday Shen Yuan had spent over fifty thousand on a bag for her, and today he had spent another eighty thousand, nearly 140,000 in total!
That's about as much as Fang Minhui's parents made in a year.
Fang Minhui glanced at the bathroom, where the sound of "splash splash" water spraying could be heard; Shen Yuan should be finishing up his shower soon...
Forget it!
Fang Minhui gently bit her lower lip and replied: "Lingling, I won't come back tonight, if someone asks, just say I went to visit relatives."
I'm sorry, Lingling, he's given too much...
Shen Yuan had finished his shower by now, stepping out with only a towel around him, his hair still dripping wet.
He climbed onto the bed, circled behind Fang Minhui and enveloped her soft body in his arms, whispering softly in her ear, "Huihui, are you ready?"
Fang Minhui's body jolted as if electrified, and her face turned red to her ears as she bit her lower lip and said, "I haven't showered yet..."
"It doesn't matter, I want you just the way you are."
"..."
....
Half an hour later, Fang Minhui curled up in Shen Yuan's arms.
Her complexion was rosy, her gaze foggy, as she was still savoring everything that had just happened.
Indeed, it was not as dreadful as she imagined, aside from the initial 10 minutes, everything else, as Chen Ling said, was comfortable...
Shen Yuan, on the other hand, was catching his uneven breath, slowly recovering, remembering that the last time he played poker was two months ago, it really took some time to adjust after so long.
Normally he didn't exercise enough, otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a state.
Both of them stared blankly at the ceiling of the room for about ten minutes, then Fang Minhui suddenly turned over, her pale hand slowly moving downward...
"Shen Yuan... how about... we?"
"Let me rest a bit longer."
"No... I want to now..."
.....
.....
The next morning at 9 o'clock, Shen Yuan got up from the bed, his legs slightly shaky after being completely drained.
The events of the previous night had left him somewhat unable to muster his strength.
It wasn't that he couldn't handle it, just that he hadn't expected the inexperienced Fang Minhui to be so fierce.
Fuck, she really treated me like a goddamn work ox! Even oxen need to rest between work, don't they?
Meanwhile, Fang Minhui had just walked out of the bathroom after a shower, her skin wrapped in a towel, her cheeks faintly flushed, looking utterly content.
"Shen Yuan, let's get dressed, have breakfast first, and then head back to school," she said.
Fang Minhui walked over with a smile, linking her arm with Shen Yuan's.
"Sure, sure, you drained me of several months' savings last night, I should indeed replenish," Shen Yuan replied.
"Is it really that exaggerated? All you guys talk about how you can always use that thing of yours..."
"..."
After having a buffet breakfast at the hotel, Shen Yuan and Fang Minhui returned to school. To avoid rumors, they parted at the school gate and went back to their respective dormitories.
When Shen Yuan pushed open the door to Room 503 it was already 10:30, and as expected, Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin were sound asleep.
This was the lifestyle of contemporary college students, as if not sleeping until noon meant losing out on a full weekend.
The ones with partners were better off, at least they could go out for a date or a movie on the weekend, but singletons like Old Cao and Old Huang could only hole up under their blankets, playing with needle and thread.
Shen Yuan casually pulled out a chair, ready to sort out his debt.
After all, the System Daddy did offer cashback for repaying debt.
Between Huabei, white strips, and credit cards, he owed a total of 52,000, which Shen Yuan paid off one by one.
Additionally, Shen Yuan had a childhood friend who, knowing his family's bankrupt state, had actively transferred 100,000 to him.
Of course, Shen Yuan didn't "line his own pockets" with this money — it was meant as emergency funds for the family, which he transferred directly to Old Shen once he received it.
Shen Yuan found "Three-year-old's Life" in his WeChat contacts and transferred the 100,000 yuan back to him.
"Three-year-old's Life" was actually Li Yuhang, a rich second generation like Shen Yuan used to be.
He was the only brother Shen Yuan still got along well with now; after all, the fair-weather friends from before had kept their distance once they learned about his family's bankruptcy.
His dad, Old Li, owned a small factory producing medical equipment. Despite the severe impact on many industries that year, the equipment produced by Li Yuhang's family was in high demand.
Old Li seized the opportunity, offering five times the usual wages to bring back his workers over the New Year, working overtime to produce. It was said that in two years, he'd achieved a modest goal in earnings.
But His son, Li Yuhang, was a wild card, refusing to take over Old Li's legacy, insisting on making his own way in the world.
Old Li probably felt relieved to let him bump his way through life and provided him with financial support. Li Yuhang had opened two hotpot restaurants, a KTV, and an escape room that had become an Internet sensation.
As expected, they all lost money hand over fist.
Yet, Li Yuhang was still not deterred, wanting to continue with a new bar. A few days earlier, he had messaged Shen Yuan to come to check out the bar's decor.
He knew Shen Yuan used to frequent bars and clubs, and might have some useful advice.
However, Shen Yuan thought play was play, business was business. With different perspectives, he felt it best not to muddle things up, so he had not gone.
After transferring the money, Li Yuhang didn't respond; he had probably partied late into the previous night, so Shen Yuan didn't bother with him and decided to look for some fun.
Just then, Fang Minhui sent a WeChat message saying she wanted Shen Yuan to join her for duo queue.
Shen Yuan hadn't expected this girl to be a League of Legends player too, but as long as she wouldn't drag him down, it was all good.
"Which server?"
"Black Rose."
"I have an account there, I'll log in now."
Shen Yuan was decent at LoL, platinum in one server, mainly playing AD and top lane, although it had been a while and his skills were a bit rusty.
However, playing in the Black Rose server, which he hadn't really tackled ranked games on, would be fine for some low-level matches.
"Old Huang, I'm borrowing your Alienware to play a bit."
Shen Yuan called out, lacking a computer of his own, he had to borrow Huang Haibao's Alienware.
"Go ahead."
Old Huang turned in bed, muttering a complaint.
"Damn, feisty now, are we!"
Shen Yuan muttered under his breath, then booted up the computer.
