Phew~
Huang Lu visibly let out a sigh of relief.
"Then I'm off, sis."
Huang Lu gazed at him reluctantly. "Go on, bro. Be careful on the way."
Xu Yi climbed into the driver's seat of the Porsche 911. He had to admit—
You got what you paid for. The comfort was unbeatable.
He stepped on the gas. The engine let out a wild roar, and the car sped away in a flash.
Huang Lu watched the car disappear, briefly lost in thought. "Bro, how many more times will I get to see you?"
A medical report was torn to shreds.
Streamer, driving a Porsche to do rideshare? That's so you.
Streamer, can you take me for a spin? I'm a student.
Even if you were an animal, it wouldn't help.
Streamer, maybe don't livestream while driving. Lei Busi got banned last night for livestreaming behind the wheel.
Xu Yi raised an eyebrow when he saw the comment. The platform moderator had nerves of steel—even banning a major shareholder.
Just then, Xu Yi received a private message from his rideshare passenger.
"Driver, could you hurry up? You're already so late!"
Xu Yi checked the time. He was seven minutes late...
"Sorry, there's a bit of traffic. I'll be there soon."
The other person sent several strings of ellipses.
A few minutes later, the passenger simply called to hurry him along.
"Driver, how much longer? Everyone's struggling these days. If you don't work hard, how are you going to get a raise?
"Look at me. I make fifteen thousand a month. Have I ever bragged about it? I still work overtime until eleven at night."
Xu Yi frowned repeatedly. "Stop rushing me. I'm here."
"Where?"
"I'm the one honking."
The other person fell silent for more than ten seconds, then let out a loud cry.

"Ah!"
"A Porsche 911!"
"Don't make such a fuss. Get in."
"Bro, why are you driving a Porsche to do rideshare?"
"Because I'm not used to driving a Ferrari."
Six...

"Why are you still standing there? Get in..." Xu Yi said, looking exasperated.
A moment ago, you were acting like it was the end of the world. Now the car's here, and you're still babbling instead of getting in.
Are you looking for trouble?
"Big bro, can I really get in this car? Is that okay?"
"Obviously. It's just a way to get around."
The man climbed into the car trembling, like he was getting a blind massage.
"Bro, how are you so rich? Share some tips for making money."
Xu Yi gave him a mischievous smile. "Making money's easy. Rent out the cars you don't use, and rent out any spare homes too."

"Bro, please stop. We're not from the same world."
Xu Yi smiled again. Some unscrupulous experts in his previous life had said the same thing.
But saying it himself now felt different. He felt especially good.
Xu Yi picked up a few more rideshare fares and collected some Emotion Points before hurrying to the meeting spot he'd agreed on with Abstract Sister.
As expected of Abstract Sister, even the place she picked was unlike anywhere an ordinary person would choose: an old Beiping-style restaurant.
"Abstract Sister, other girls pick places like cafés or Western restaurants. Why'd you choose this place?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
Ai Xiaoxing seemed unhappy with the name Xu Yi had given her. She shot him an annoyed look, charming enough to captivate anyone watching.
"What's so great about those places? They're pretentious, and the value for money is terrible. This place is much more practical."
Xu Yi kept looking at her without saying anything.

"Fine. I saw the Jingye accent on Douyin today, and I thought it was really fun."
"Jingye accent?"
After their last drunken encounter, Ai Xiaoxing seemed more at ease.
Her face was still flushed, and she looked a little awkward, but she nevertheless imitated it with great seriousness.
"Auv, us old Beiping folks have to drink our porridge in circles. That's what you call authentic~"
Xu Yi: "???"
Big Socks, do you even know what you're saying?
The Streamer Friends in the livestream flooded the chat with question marks.
Auv~ Guess what? I'm awake~
Who said the Campus Belle had it rough? She's too sweet!
Seeing Xu Yi's strange expression, Ai Xiaoxing blinked at him with innocent, wide eyes.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you're amazing." He gave her a thumbs-up.
"Xu Yi, I'll treat you to whatever you want."
Xu Yi waved his hand. Don't treat me yet. Pay me first.
Xu Yi brought up his payment code.
"You got drunk at hot pot last time, so I paid in the end. Then there's the fee for eating with you this time, plus compensation for the work I missed at my part-time job. That's five hundred yuan total. You can just give me five hundred and fifty."

The Campus Belle said nothing, only furiously showering him with Emotion Points.
"Why's there an extra fifty?"
"It's Crazy Thursday. Send me fifty."
"..."

"I'm the Campus Belle, you know. Other people line up to have dinner with me."
But that was exactly what attracted her to him. As the Campus Belle, she'd had more than enough people fawning over her. She was sick of it.
"You're hopeless."
A sigma man never fell into a woman's trap.
"I give up on you." Ai Xiaoxing rolled her eyes furiously.
After Xu Yi received the transfer, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Huh? Drinking in circles doesn't taste any different."
Xu Yi: "..."
Who else gets it? I've managed to be speechless twice while having dinner with the Campus Belle.
"Don't imitate internet memes from now on."
"Why not?"
"Fine..."
"What did you want from me, anyway?"
Ai Xiaoxing wiped her mouth and sat upright, looking very serious. "You're so talented. Write a song for me."
"What for? Are you going to debut?"
"More or less. My dream is to become a singer, but my parents have never agreed. So I want to find a way to prove myself.
"And you... Xu Yi, you're my chance."
Xu Yi chuckled twice. All the hit songs from Earth in his previous life flashed through his mind.
But he shook his head. "Why should I write one for you? Don't tell me you're trying to get me to do it for free just because of two meals."
Ai Xiaoxing's face flushed even more. She murmured softly, "I wasn't planning to get it for free."
"Iceberg Yu paid me this much to write a score." Xu Yi held up one finger.
"Okay. I'll pay you a million."
Xu Yi staggered, nearly losing his balance.
Since when were there so many rich women around?
Xu Yi regretted how readily he'd agreed. Had he asked for too little?
Ai Xiaoxing was deeply moved.
Xu Yi might have seemed stingy, but when it mattered, he was still generous to her.
A million for a song—what was that if not practically giving it to her?
"Abstract Sister, can I ask if your family owns a mine?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
"Mm... We mine all kinds of ore in Africa, and we do mining in Shanxi too."
"Oh, how did you know?"
She really did own mines!
Damn it! He'd definitely asked for too little...
Ai Xiaoxing asked expectantly, "Xu Yi, what song are you going to write for me? How many days will it take?"
"I'll finish it for you right now."
