As Wei Zitong was about to ask for leave and make a trip back to Tianhe City, the school unexpectedly announced a break.

Unable to listen to Ryze the Wanderer's daily storytelling, Liu Chuang and the others were all delighted and decided to go out and have some fun!

"Where are we going? Where are we going?" Zhao Xin asked excitedly.

"Heh heh, don't worry. I've already contacted some brothers on the streets and had them make arrangements for us. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!" Liu Chuang patted his chest in assurance, then turned to Wei Zitong. "Hey, Zi Tong, you're not coming with us?"

"Uh, I won't be going. I'm heading home tomorrow." Wei Zitong shook his head and tossed out a bank card containing some of the money left over from compensating Lena. "There's some money on it. Think of it as me treating you all to a good time."

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean? I said I was treating!" Liu Chuang pushed the card back. "Things aren't easy for you either, right? I heard you paid ten million for Big Sis?"

"Heh, what a spendthrift woman!" Zhao Xin mocked, but he immediately came to his senses. Staring wide-eyed at Wei Zitong, he asked, "Holy shit, is that true? Nima, you really paid Lena ten million?"

"I borrowed it, borrowed it!" Wei Zitong hurriedly explained with a bitter smile.

"Heh, once it gets to Big Sis, what's the difference between borrowing and giving?" Liu Chuang felt it wasn't worth it for Wei Zitong.

"It's all my fault, my fault. Strictly speaking, Zi Tong paid it because of me..." Cheng Yaowen said guiltily.

"Sigh, if Xin Ye here had ten million, what beauty couldn't I pick up?" Zhao Xin patted Wei Zitong's shoulder with feigned gravity. "Zi Tong, you really went all out..."

"Come on, come on, drink up! Let's not bring up such depressing things!" Liu Chuang hurriedly raised his beer bottle, easing the gloomy mood in the dorm.

With a clink, six beer bottles collided, and all six of them drained a bottle in one go!

After several rounds of drinks, Ge Xiaolun was seized by poetic inspiration and raised his bottle as he recited, "I raise my cup to invite the bright moon; with my shadow, we become three." Wuji Yi danced with a sword while humming some song. Zhao Xin cursed Ge Xiaolun's poem for being complete nonsense while tossing his long ponytail and bragging about how mighty his ancestor, the famous general Zhao Yun, had been. Cheng Yaowen looked down on Zhao Xin while recounting his own past. Liu Chuang laughed loudly as he reminisced about his days as a big brother. Only Wei Zitong, though he chatted happily with everyone, rarely spoke of his own affairs and seemed somewhat out of place.

In the girls' dormitory, Du Qiangwei sat alone on the balcony, staring at the balcony across from hers and listening to the laughter drifting out from inside. She sat there absentmindedly until someone stepped onto the opposite balcony, startling her back to awareness.

The person across from her smiled and greeted her. This time, he had not come out to read, but simply to get some air and sober up.

Du Qiangwei did not respond. She flipped down from the balcony and nearly crashed straight into Qilin, who had just come out!

"What's wrong?" Qilin asked. Seeing Du Qiangwei merely shake her head and walk silently into the dormitory, she turned toward the balcony and saw Wei Zitong on the opposite balcony, his face flushed red.

Qilin froze for a moment, blinking her pretty eyes, unsure what to say.

At that moment, Lena came out as well. She had far fewer reservations and immediately waved as she shouted, "We're on break! Want to go out and have fun?"

Wei Zitong merely shook his head without speaking. Soon, Lena received a text message on her phone. "I'm going home tomorrow. If you want to go out, you can go with Liu Chuang and the others."

Lena replied, "Tch, I'm not going out with a bunch of stinky men like them!"

Wei Zitong: "I'm a stinky man too."

Lena: "You aren't!"

Wei Zitong: "Then what am I?"

"You aren't..." Lena typed, hesitated for a moment, then deleted the message and typed again. "You're my white horse!"

Wei Zitong abruptly looked up when he saw the message. In that instant, the smiling face across from him was breathtakingly beautiful!

Early the next morning, Wei Zitong got up before dawn. The dormitory was a complete mess, with five grown men sprawled all over the floor, snoring away. He carefully washed up, packed the things he needed, and left without waking them.

He left quickly and told no one. He was feeling a little flustered. It was true that he wanted to cling to Lena, but he had not expected things to get to the point they had reached last night. He did not know whether that counted as a confession. Given Lena's personality, it probably would not be strange for her to say something bizarre, right? That was the only way he could think of it.

She was joking, she was joking, she was joking! Wei Zitong kept hypnotizing himself. Only after a long while did his pounding heart finally calm down. Taking a deep breath, he leaned back in his high-speed train seat and began catching up on sleep.

Yes, he had not slept at all the night before. After seeing that text message, his mind had been in a state of extreme excitement. He spent the entire night overthinking, coming up with all sorts of analyses and explanations for Lena's behavior.

As a Super Soldier, staying awake for one night was nothing. But the mental struggle of that night had drained him as much as a long, grueling battle, leaving him utterly exhausted. The moment he relaxed, he fell deeply asleep...

It was not until a conductor called out to him that Wei Zitong suddenly realized they had arrived in Tianhe City. He checked the time on his phone and saw that it was already noon. After leaving the station, he did not immediately take a taxi home. Instead, he found a restaurant to eat at.

It was a habit he had developed in his previous life. Whenever he arrived somewhere around mealtime, he would eat at a restaurant near the station. Even though the food near stations was expensive and terrible, hunger could not be ignored. He could only fill his stomach first and worry about the taste afterward.

The restaurant owner seemed to be seeing such a handsome, fashionably dressed customer dining at her establishment for the first time. She was extremely enthusiastic and personally went into the kitchen. For the first time in his life, Wei Zitong had a meal near a station that did not taste awful, and he was almost moved to tears.

However, the bill was still outrageously expensive. Of course, that was only by the standards of Wei Zitong's previous life. The Wei Zitong of this life did not care about such pocket change at all.

Just as he was paying, a red supercar pulled up beside them. The owner's eyes nearly popped out at the sight of it. Its perfect streamlined body and the striking bull emblem filled her with longing. She wished she could turn into a young girl and get into that car while being flirted with by its owner!

The door opened, and a handsome young man in a sharp suit stepped out of the driver's seat. Just as the owner adjusted her appearance and prepared to greet him with a smile, the young man gave Wei Zitong a deep bow and said respectfully, "Young Master, the chairman has been waiting for you at home for a long time. Please get in!"

The owner's heart skipped a beat. She had not expected this handsome man eating in her restaurant to be the young master of some great wealthy family. At first, she had thought he was some pretty boy dressed to the nines who liked seducing rich women, only coming to a shabby restaurant like hers for a meal because he had fallen on hard times.

Naturally, Wei Zitong did not care about the strange looks from the owner and the surrounding diners. He merely nodded lightly and walked straight toward the driver's seat. This supercar had been bought by the Original Body Owner, who had tossed it into the garage after getting tired of it. But this was only Wei Zitong's second time driving a supercar. The first time, he had only driven one for a day before it was ruined by Ge Xiaolun's Silence. Seeing one again, his eyes practically glowed green!

"Young Master, let me drive. It wouldn't be proper!" The young man hurried forward, trying to stop Wei Zitong from driving. He had been Wei Zitong's assistant before. After Wei Zitong went to Super Seminary, he had taken up an idle position at Angel International under Wei Zixue's arrangement.

Wei Zitong ignored his former assistant's attempts to stop him. After sitting in the driver's seat, he said, "What era do you think this is? Why are there still so many rules? Do you think this is some great wealthy family from the early twentieth century?"

The former assistant was helpless and could only sit in the passenger seat. He absolutely did not dare sit in the back. Even in this day and age, the back seat was still, by unwritten rule, reserved for important figures in great families. He was someone who followed the rules closely.

Wei Zitong did not care where his former assistant sat. Once he saw that the man had fastened his seat belt, he stomped on the accelerator. The red supercar let out a roar and sped away in a cloud of dust...

After returning home, Wei Zitong and Wei Zixue tacitly avoided mentioning the transfer of shares in front of their family. Instead, they obediently accompanied the family through dinner. The atmosphere at home was solemn. Neither sibling was married, so there were no children in the household.

Unable to stand the oppressive atmosphere any longer, Wei Zitong headed for the study after dinner. Wei Zixue followed him upstairs.

I checked it out. It was written pretty well, so anyone interested can go take a look. It seems Qilin is the female lead!
