Yang Kai's phone suddenly rang, the soft buzz breaking the quiet. He fished it out of his pocket and glanced at the screen—a new text message. Opening it, his eyes flickered over the contents.
[China Construction Bank] Your card ending in 1658 received 8,400 yuan on May 16 at 1:22. Your current account balance is 14,100
He stared at the screen for a heartbeat, a faint grin tugging at his lips.
Good.
Sliding the phone back into his pocket, he tucked the receipt and the pitch-black card safely alongside it. Ahead, the saleswoman bowed deeply, then excused herself to retrieve the car.
Lin Quizu, still reeling from the purchase, watched him from the corner of her eye.
Is he really from my university? I've never heard of anyone that rich on campus…
Yang Kai turned, closing the distance between them with an easy stride.
"Well, it's done. Let's head out—they'll bring the car outside."
Lin Quizu gave a small "hmm" and pivoted gracefully toward the exit. Together, they stepped out of the bright showroom into the warm afternoon light.
Just as Yang Kai's shoes crossed the threshold, a golden system screen flickered to life before his eyes.

[Host, Lin Quizu's Favorability Increased By 2]
[Current Favorability: 2]

Yang Kai's lips curved into a subtle smile, satisfaction glinting behind his calm expression.
Lin Quizu noticed the faint smirk and darted him a sideways glance.
Why is he smiling like that? Hmph… Anyway, he's an interesting guy. I should tell Father about him.
A low purr of an engine reached their ears as the Tortunerrrr 4D rolled to a stop in front of them. The saleswoman stepped out, bowing respectfully before handing the car keys to Lin Quizu.
"Have a great day, sir, miss."
With that, she slipped back inside the showroom, leaving them alone.
Lin Quizu twirled the keys between her fingers for a moment before turning to Yang Kai.
"Are you not going to drive?"
Yang Kai's brows lifted slightly.
"Do you… want me to drive?"
Inside, his thoughts were anything but composed.
Damn it—I don't even know how to drive this thing. And this body's owner never touched a car before.
Lin Quizu tossed the keys lightly in his direction.
"Yeah. Don't forget, I also came in my own car."
Without another word, she began walking back toward her sleek red sports car, her hair catching the sunlight as she moved.
Yang Kai caught the keys, their weight suddenly feeling much heavier than metal and plastic. He glanced down at them, a flicker of nervousness crossing his face as he muttered under his breath.
"…Great. Now what?"
A golden-yellow system screen flickered to life before Yang Kai's eyes, its glow bright against the afternoon sun.

Yang Kai's lips curved into a sly grin.
Easy. Her favorability is already at two—this will be a piece of cake.
He strode forward a few quick steps, making sure to come into Lin Quizu's line of sight. She was just about to slide into her sports car when he called out, his tone light and teasing.
"Hey, Lin Quizu."
She paused, turned, and fixed him with an indifferent gaze.
"What is it?"
Yang Kai's eyes flickered mischievously. He let a deliberately playful, almost lustful expression cross his face.
"You know… you're looking really hot today. Tell me, how do you keep that figure so perfectly maintained?"
That should do it. If anything can make her blush, it's this.
Lin Quizu's eyes narrowed instantly, her stare sharp enough to cut through steel. She didn't flush or shy away—her voice was ice-cold.
"If you say something like that again… I'll kill you."
With that, she yanked open the door, slipped into the driver's seat, and slammed the door shut with a loud thud.
Yang Kai froze for a second, blinking in surprise. Then he sighed, shoulders slumping.
"I'm done for."
But before despair could settle in, another glowing system screen appeared.

Inside the car, Lin Quizu froze, her cheeks blooming crimson at Yang Kai's unexpected words. Her hand, trembling slightly, rested against his face.
W-why would he say something like that… about my figure? H-has he lost his mind?
On otherside in an instant, knowledge flooded into his mind—gear shifts, steering precision, parking tricks, even high-speed maneuvers. It was as if he'd been driving for a hundred years. His fingers itched with newfound confidence.
Blinking away the last traces of the transfer, Yang Kai looked up just in time to see Lin Quizu's red sports car roaring to life. She was already easing out of the lot, her vehicle about to disappear from view.
Without hesitation, he slid into the driver's seat of the Tortunerrrr 4D. The engine hummed beneath his hands as he started the car, the movement smooth and effortless, like a seasoned professional.
A spark of excitement glimmered in his eyes.
So this is top-tier driving… incredible.
Catching a glimpse of Lin Quizu's tail lights ahead, Yang Kai grinned, pressed down on the accelerator, and steered the car onto the road. The Tortunerrrr 4D glided forward with perfect precision as he began to follow her, the thrill of the chase igniting in his chest.
The afternoon sun glinted off polished metal as two cars—a fiery red sports car and a sleek Tortunerrrr 4D—raced down the road, engines purring like beasts ready to pounce. Lin Quizu's driving was precise and controlled, while Yang Kai followed effortlessly behind, his new top-tier driving skills making every maneuver look effortless.
Meanwhile, in front of Modern Jinan Hospital, Bon Min, Chen Zu, Hang Chen, and Qian Ruo waited near the entrance, their conversation a mixture of nervousness and curiosity.
Chen Zu shuffled forward nervously, scratching the back of his head. His voice wavered as he spoke to Qian Ruo.
"Ah, miss… I just wanted to apologize for Yang Kai's behavior. He's actually a really nice person, so if he did something that seemed—"
Before he could finish, Qian Ruo cut him off with a calm smile.
"Don't worry. I know. From the very start—when Lin Quizu showed up—I could tell from Yang Kai's expression that he wasn't going to complain about her. I could see it in his eyes: he has some sort of plan involving Lin Quizu. I won't interfere… but—"
Her tone suddenly sharpened, her smile fading into something serious.
"If he tries to hurt her or does anything truly bad… he won't live an easy life."
Chen Zu blinked, his mouth falling open. He let out a nervous laugh.
"Are… are you going to murder him?"
Bon Min smacked the back of Chen Zu's head, making him wince.
"Idiot. If she were going to kill him, what would we be here for? We'd step in to save his sorry butt, obviously. Hehe."
Qian Ruo's stern expression softened, and a quiet laugh escaped her lips.
"Yeah, you could try to save him."
The group shared a brief laugh, the tension easing into a friendly atmosphere.
Suddenly, the distant hum of engines grew louder. Two cars—a blazing red sports car and the Tortunerrrr 4D—pulled up in perfect alignment, coming to a smooth halt in front of the group.
Bon Min's eyes widened as he leaned forward, spotting Yang Kai behind the wheel of the Tortunerrrr 4D through its open window.
"Hey, Yang Kai… whose car is this?"
The others turned, their mouths hanging open in shock. Even Hang Chen's usual bravado faltered.
Qian Ruo's gaze lingered on the Tortunerrrr 4D, but her expression remained unreadable. Without a word, she stepped forward, her heels clicking softly against the pavement, and opened the passenger-side door of the red sports car. She slipped inside, closing the door behind her with a practiced motion.
Settling into her seat, she turned to Lin Quizu, her tone casual but edged with curiosity.
"Panda, whose car is that? It's not one of yours—I've seen all of your cars."
Lin Quizu hesitated for a moment, her fingers tightening on the steering wheel. She let out a quiet sigh before replying.
"You could say it's mine… but Yang Kai bought it for me."
Qian Ruo's eyes widened in shock.
"You mean… he actually bought it with his own money? Like… for real?"
Lin Quizu tapped her fingers on the steering wheel rhythmically, her expression shifting between disbelief and reluctant admiration.
"For real. Honestly, I thought he'd end up begging for help to afford a car or something… but I completely underestimated him."
She glanced at the Tortunerrrr 4D in the rearview mirror, her eyes narrowing slightly as her lips curved into a faint smirk.
Yang Kai… i just started to take interest in you... I'll find out your truth.
