Young, Successful, and Driving a Mercedes-Benz!

Shen Ding's birthday party was scheduled for four that afternoon. At one, Dong Xue and Shi Zhenzhen asked Chen Rongrong to go shopping with them for a birthday present for Shen Ding.

Chen Rongrong sat on the edge of the bed getting dressed. For her outing, she wore a pure white camisole with a light apricot-colored sun-protection cardigan.

On the bottom, she wore dark gray, high-waisted yoga pants. They clung tightly to her, clearly outlining her waist, hips, and legs.

She sat there, bending over to put on her shoes.

As she bent forward, her ample breasts pressed together inside her camisole, threatening to spill out.

Zhou Yuwen watched from beside her and said, "There's something I've always wondered. Why do you always wear these pants? Can't you wear something else?"

"I think they look good on me. Don't you?"

Smiling, Chen Rongrong stood up and turned around in front of Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen walked over and wrapped his arms around Chen Rongrong's slim waist.

Her camisole was actually a regular style, but Chen Rongrong's figure was so good that it looked like a crop top on her. Her slim waist was exposed, just small enough for Zhou Yuwen to circle with one arm.

Zhou Yuwen took another two thousand yuan out of his wallet and said to Chen Rongrong, "They do look good, but you can't wear them every day. Buy a few more clothes when you go shopping today."

"No need. I still have money," Chen Rongrong said.

"Be good. You're about to start university. If you really don't know what to buy, get a few more pairs of yoga pants. When you come back today, I want to cut this pair open, right along here."

Zhou Yuwen's hand started on her lower back, then followed the seam of her yoga pants all the way down.

Chen Rongrong blushed furiously and hit Zhou Yuwen twice with her little fists. "You're so naughty!"

"Then I'm going out now? Are you coming this afternoon?" Chen Rongrong asked as she was about to leave.

Zhou Yuwen said he wasn't sure. If he could make it in time, he'd go.

"Mm-hmm!"

Chen Rongrong kissed Zhou Yuwen on the cheek and headed out.

Zhou Yuwen had to go into the city today. He had originally planned to buy an Audi A4L. After all, he'd driven one in his previous life, so another would feel familiar.

But plans couldn't keep up with change. He had planned to earn three million before university, but who would have thought he'd already have six million before it even started?

Once Tellus a's second wave came in September, Zhou Yuwen's funds would at least double to twelve million.

The Audi A4 no longer matched his status, so Zhou Yuwen spoke with the car salesman about switching the A4 for a Mercedes-Benz E320.

The salesman was a little hesitant. He said that, in principle, it wasn't possible to switch cars, and there was no precedent for it. But he happened to have a connection who could make the switch for Zhou Yuwen, and the price could be twenty thousand less than the original car.

The Mercedes-Benz E320's on-the-road price was six hundred thousand yuan. Zhou Yuwen paid 580,000, and since the car was in stock, he could pick it up whenever he wanted.

So Zhou Yuwen returned the Old Audi A6 to his dad by default and took advantage of his free time to visit the city.

When Zhou Yuwen picked up the car, he didn't want any ceremony. The salesman simply bowed as he saw him to the entrance of the dealership.

A brand-new black Mercedes-Benz E320 sat there, sunlight falling on its upright hood ornament and making it shine brilliantly.

The salesman smiled and said that, at Zhou Yuwen's age, a sports car would actually suit him better.

"You look a little too mature driving this car."

Zhou Yuwen said it was fine.

He settled into the driver's seat of the Mercedes-Benz E. The leather seat was broad and soft, supporting him securely.

He rested his hands on the steering wheel. The steering felt light, with a little play that gave it an unhurried feel.

He started the car. The M276 V6 engine hummed to life, smooth and quiet, without any jarring noise. At idle, it was so steady he could barely feel it vibrate.

You really did get what you paid for. It was far better than his dad's A6.

After picking up the car, Zhou Yuwen didn't hurry back to the county town. It was already August, and there wasn't much time left before school started. Since he rarely came into the city, he decided to buy a few more clothes.

Although he had been reborn, his mindset was old after all. When choosing clothes, Zhou Yuwen cared more about comfort, and his taste always leaned toward more mature, businesslike outfits. He didn't pay much attention to the brands. They were all strings of English letters that looked vaguely familiar, but not by much. The final bill came to more than twenty thousand yuan.

After leaving the boutique, he came across some sportswear brands and remembered he would need clothes for running later, so he bought two more white T-shirts from Adidas and Nike.

Chen Rongrong spent the afternoon shopping in the county town with Dong Xue and Shi Zhenzhen. They said they were buying a present for Shen Ding, but in fact they just went to a gift shop and picked out some trinket costing a few dozen yuan. Most of their time was spent shopping for themselves.

Of the three, Chen Rongrong bought the most clothes that afternoon. Whenever she saw something she liked, she tried it on, and if it suited her, she paid for it on the spot.

Clothes weren't expensive in the little county town: a top cost 49 yuan and a pair of pants 59. Even after buying bagfuls of clothes, Chen Rongrong still hadn't spent all of Zhou Yuwen's two thousand yuan.

Shi Zhenzhen and Dong Xue, meanwhile, were full of curiosity. Shi Zhenzhen was especially struck by it and asked Chen Rongrong, "Rongrong, how did you suddenly get so much money? Did you get a summer job?"

"Why do you think I got a summer job just because I have money? Couldn't my family have given it to me?"

Dong Xue covered her mouth and laughed. Shi Zhenzhen had never been very good with words, but Chen Rongrong suddenly having so much money really was a little suspicious.

"Did you get yourself a rich boyfriend?"

The more Chen Rongrong heard, the deeper she frowned. "I told you, my family gave it to me!"

"Okay, I shouldn't have said that. Rongrong, don't be mad. I'll buy you some milk tea." Shi Zhenzhen took Chen Rongrong's hand, looking genuinely apologetic.

The three girls shopped from one until three, then found a milk tea shop where they could rest their feet and gossip.

It had been almost two months since they'd left high school. Shi Zhenzhen and Dong Xue had both gone on trips with their families and come back with lots of photos. They shared them with Chen Rongrong and asked where hers were.

"Didn't you say you went traveling with your family too?"

"All my photos were taken with a DSLR. I forgot to transfer them to my phone."

"Oh, I see."

After that, they talked about other gossip, like who had started dating whom after high school and who had a secret crush on whom.

Shi Zhenzhen said that Sun Yue, their former class monitor, had actually had a crush on Zhou Yuwen all along.

Chen Rongrong paused when she heard Zhou Yuwen's name. "How do you know?"

"Do you even have to ask? Once I went to her desk to hand in my homework, and I saw her secretly drawing Zhou Yuwen from behind in her workbook!"

"Really?" Chen Rongrong could hardly believe it. She had always thought nobody paid Zhou Yuwen any attention in high school. After she first slept with him, she had kept thinking she'd found a treasure everyone else had overlooked.

She had never expected that someone else had a secret crush on Zhou Yuwen too.

"How could I lie to you about something like that?"
