"I’m going to check out the corridor outside," Ni Yang said as she arrived at the hallway—and outside, it really was snowing!
The big, flaky snow and willow catkin-like snowflakes were floating down from mid-air, piling a thin white layer on the ground.
The snowy weather always seemed to put everyone in a wonderful mood. Ni Yang turned to look back at the dormitory, "Huilan, Qiuying, let’s go out for hot pot tonight? I’ll treat."
"Sure, sure!" Zhang Qiuying raised both hands in agreement.
Li Huilan also expressed her approval.
After the evening test, Ni Yang took her two roommates out for hot pot.
As the three of them stepped out of the school gate, they saw a black sedan parked outside.
In those times, when sedans were not as common as in the future, they stood out significantly.
Just then, the car door opened, and a tall man emerged, unfolding an umbrella as he stepped out.
With one hand holding the umbrella and the other in his pocket, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his chiseled face bore no particular expression. He seemed to embody the snow and wind, and the aura of aloofness and prestige emanated from his every move. Against his backdrop, the snowy scenery and people behind him became lifeless props.
Li Huilan and Zhang Qiuying were both stunned.
He was... incredibly handsome!
"Brother Mo," Ni Yang’s eyes lit up at the sight of the newcomer.
"Yangyang," Mo Qishen strode toward her.
Seeing this, Li Huilan and Zhang Qiuying exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.
"Aren’t you cold?" Mo Qishen casually pulled Ni Yang’s hand into the pocket of his trench coat.
"Not cold," Ni Yang shook her head, "Oh, let me introduce you, Brother Mo. These are my roommates, Zhang Qiuying and Li Huilan." ƒreewebɳovel.com
With that said, Ni Yang continued, "Huilan, Qiuying, this is my boyfriend Mo Qishen."
So he’s her boyfriend!
No wonder he’s so handsome!
And they’re such a perfect match!
"Hello, I’m Zhang Qiuying."
"I, I’m Li Huilan."
Mo Qishen nodded slightly, "Hello, I appreciate how you’ve taken care of Yangyang these past days."
Zhang Qiuying laughed, "Ten or twenty thousand yuan? That would only get you a wheel. My dad also wanted to buy this car, but it was too expensive, so he gave up and bought a car for thirty thousand yuan instead."
"So how much does this car cost? Eighty or ninety thousand yuan?" What kind of amount was eighty or ninety thousand yuan?
Based on current wages, you couldn’t save that amount even if you didn’t spend a cent for seventy or eighty years.
"Eighty or ninety thousand yuan would get you four wheels," said Zhang Qiuying.
"What?!" Li Huilan’s mouth fell open, clearly hampered by her poverty.
Zhang Qiuying went on, "This car is imported from Y Country and it costs 270,000 yuan after taxes!"
270,000 yuan?!
Li Huilan’s face was full of shock, and her look towards Ni Yang and Mo Qishen changed completely.
Zhang Qiuying thought her family was well-off, after all, they owned a sedan. But in front of Mo Qishen, their wealth was insignificant, not even worth mentioning compared to his. Beijing truly was Beijing City, rightly the Imperial City of old.
"So what do you think he does?" Li Huilan asked curiously.
Zhang Qiuying replied, "Judging by his accent, he must be a local from Beijing. As for what he does, I’m not sure, but one thing is clear."
"What?"
