Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera

Of course, Ye Ling had no idea what the girl from earlier was thinking. He had already reached the third floor and quickly found Ning Ruoxi’s dorm room.

"Trouble?"

Ning Ruoxi had been lying on her bed scrolling through TikTok when she suddenly saw Ye Ling. A look of delighted surprise on her face, she came running out.

She didn’t normally use apps like TikTok. She’d mainly downloaded it for the promotional video for *Lingxi’s Love*. But with nothing better to do recently, she’d started scrolling and discovered that so many of the girls on there were gorgeous!

In fact, many girls who use TikTok aren’t just scrolling through videos of muscular guys with six-packs, as many guys might think. Of course, some do, but they also love watching the beautiful girls!

"What are you doing here!?"

Ning Ruoxi said with a grin, looking at Ye Ling before her.

"I missed you."

Ye Ling smiled faintly and reached out to pinch her cheek.

At that moment, many of the girls secretly peeking their heads out of their dorm rooms couldn’t help but look on with envy.

"Waaah, the cute guy has a girlfriend. As expected, good-looking people only date other good-looking people. Guess I’ll see myself out~"

"Are you stupid? That’s Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi. They were all over the campus forums a while back."

...

Some people recognized Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi. After all, with their looks, they were just too easy to identify.

"Stop it, everyone’s watching."

Ning Ruoxi noticed the surrounding gazes. Her face flushed red, and she pulled Ye Ling over to a corner of the stairwell.

"How did you get up here?"

Ning Ruoxi blinked, her eyes full of curiosity.

The dorm auntie in charge of their building was notoriously strict. She wouldn’t even let couples meet at the entrance, let alone allow a guy to come upstairs!

"I just said I wanted to come up and see my girlfriend, and she let me up."

"For real?"

A flash of surprise crossed Ning Ruoxi’s eyes.

"Yeah, for real. She probably just thought I was handsome,"

Ye Ling said with a smirk.

"Hmph! You’re so shameless."

Ning Ruoxi snorted coquettishly.

"Oh, right. Let me borrow your car keys. I have to go out later."

Ye Ling then remembered the purpose of his visit and couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed. After all, here he was, flirting with his girl, while his three bros were waiting downstairs.

"Oh, okay."

Hearing this, Ning Ruoxi went back into her room and got the car keys for Ye Ling.

Once he had the keys, Ye Ling didn’t stay any longer and left immediately.

Though he was a little reluctant to leave her, this was a women’s dorm, after all. It wouldn’t look good if he stayed too long.

"Done visiting your girlfriend, young man?"

Seeing Ye Ling come down so quickly, the dorm auntie broke into a smile. Her attitude was a world of difference from how she had treated Yang Yu earlier.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Ye Ling immediately expressed his thanks, then walked over to where Yang Yu and the other two were standing.

"What’s up with him?"

Ye Ling asked, puzzled by the resentful look on Yang Yu’s face.

"Uh... you’d better ask him yourself."

He Jian couldn’t help but rub his nose.

He was dying to laugh but felt it wouldn’t be appropriate, and holding it back was killing him.

"Brother Ling, can you really do whatever you want just by being handsome?"

Yang Yu sighed, his face a picture of melancholy.

"What happened?"

Hearing his words, Ye Ling grew even more confused.

"This guy just went up to try his luck getting into the dorm, and the auntie just completely laid into him..."

Yang Yefeng, who was standing to the side, started to explain.

Only then did Ye Ling understand what had happened, and he struggled to hold back his laughter.

"Well... bro, while I really sympathize with you, I have to admit that... you’re right."

As he spoke, Ye Ling patted Yang Yu’s shoulder as if to encourage him.

However, at this, He Jian and Yang Yefeng could no longer hold it in and burst into wild laughter.

"You son of a bitch, what are you laughing at? As if you could’ve gotten up there!"

Yang Yu’s eyes widened in indignation, and he started roughhousing with He Jian.

Watching the two of them, Ye Ling couldn’t help but smile.

’To be honest, I really like this kind of atmosphere,’ he thought. ’There are no special boundaries between us; we can joke around and chat freely.’

’Not like that internet meme... "Thank you, my roommate, for not killing me during our four years together"?’

They had already found out that the guards at Modu University didn’t usually monitor people coming and going at night, so they left the campus with ease.

"Brother Ling, what kind of car do you drive?" everyone asked curiously along the way.

Ye Ling rubbed his nose. "Just a normal car."

"A Chery?"

"Not exactly..."

But when Ye Ling led them to his parking spot and they saw the white car in front of them, all three of them couldn’t help but gasp.

"Holy shit, it’s a Porsche Cayenne!?"

They were no strangers to this car!

That thing had to cost over a million, right!?

He Jian clicked his tongue in amazement. "I can’t believe it. Brother Ling is a rich second-generation kid. This Cayenne must cost over one and a half million on the road, right?"

"And he calls this a ’normal car’!?"

Yang Yu couldn’t help but gulp.

A million might not be a big deal in Ye Ling’s eyes, but to them, it was a true luxury car!

"I never thought Brother Ling would be the richest among us,"

He Jian couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

In truth, in terms of family background, his was already considered quite good among the three of them. But if he were to get a car, his family would, at most, get him something like a Buick to drive around.

As for a Porsche?

If he asked to buy a luxury car like this, his parents would probably consider whether they should get a new son!

"Hehe, today I’m going to experience the joy of a luxury car!"

Without hesitation, Yang Yu pulled open the passenger door and was about to get in.

"Don’t move. All three of you are sitting in the back."

Ye Ling grabbed him. "Only my wife gets to sit in the passenger seat."

"Brother Ling, is that really necessary? Sister-in-law isn’t even here."

Yang Yu said, his face a mask of misery.

"What the hell do you know?"

He Jian curled his lip and said sarcastically, "That, my friend, is what you call being devoted!"

"Alright, stop your yapping and get in the car."

Ye Ling shot the guys an exasperated look.

The hot pot restaurant He Jian had booked was opened by someone from Chongqing. It was near Modu University and quite famous. The moment they stepped inside, they were hit by the strong smell of chili peppers.

"Tsk tsk, this smell... one whiff and you’re hooked!"

Yang Yu couldn’t help but take a long sniff, his mouth already watering.
