Chapter 377

At the village entrance, I saw Bao Butler with a kind expression.

A plain Mercedes was parked at the hall.

Many villagers were gathered around.

Since it was the end of the year, quite a few young people who worked outside had returned, and the young people were more knowledgeable.

"Did you see that three-pointed star logo? It's a Mercedes, very valuable, at least 300,000 yuan."

"Mercedes is so expensive? My niece Zhang Juan's car, that Toyota Highlander, I heard it also costs at least 300,000 yuan. Which one is better?"

Zhang Juan happened to be at the hall too. She wasn't there to look at the car, but to call her father home for dinner, and he shouldn't gawk at the car anymore. She saw Xiao Qi and awkwardly greeted her.

Then she noticed the Mercedes next to her car. She recognized that logo; a Mercedes should be more expensive than her Toyota Highlander, but just a little. She casually took a photo.

Xiao Qi didn't refute anything and left with her boyfriend.

She didn't used to know much about cars, only that BMWs were good. Later, as she gained more experience, she learned about various car models. Although they were all Mercedes, not all Mercedes were the same. This one was a Maybach, with such a comfortable interior, it must be a high-end configuration, around 3 million yuan o(╯□╰)o.

Bao Butler saw the young master alive and well, with tears of excitement in his eyes.

He drove up the mountain, getting more and more remote, feeling like he was entering an ancient forest, with trees hundreds of years old lining the road, and a misty atmosphere.

He should have realized earlier that a place with no phone signal must be extremely secluded.

But seeing the outstanding Xiao Qi, he found it hard to associate her with such a remote location, so he still harbored fantasies in his heart.

"Young master, did you have a good time yesterday?"

"Very good," Li Weijin smiled.

He liked it here, with beautiful scenery and interesting experiences.

The butler saw the smiling young master... He shouldn't have asked, for the young master had even shaved his head to study hard for Xiao Qi. He would probably be willing to eat humble fare with her. A devoted puppy, getting whatever he wants in the end.

When they reached the city, the butler didn't arrange for a hotel.

Lvshan City really didn't have any good hotels. Don't even think about a five-star hotel; there was one rated four-star, but it was quite old. Before leaving, the butler bought the highest building in Lvshan, a suite on the top floor of the commercial city.

The area wasn't large, just over 260 square meters, but it was located in the center of Lvshan City, with a view of the entire city. The Lv River flowed right below, and across from it were the layered peaks of Lv Shan Mountain, with a unique scenery of one large round mountain stacked on top of another, likely how Lv Shan got its name.

Floor-to-ceiling windows surrounded the apartment.

The interior decor was quite nice, with a Chinese style using heavy red furniture.

Right at the entrance was a long console table with a vase holding a fresh bouquet, still with dewdrops, likely arranged that morning.

Neatly lined up by the door were pairs of slippers for men and women, brand new.

When Xiao Qi took off her shoes and touched the table, she found it was over 300 years old from the Qing Dynasty, looking shiny and new.

Past the entrance was a large living room with ancient Chinese wooden sofas, extremely large with white cushions allowing a view of the old city of Lvshan City surrounded by green mountains and water - quite a nice scenery. But the sofas were modern.

The interior decor was solid and well-made using quality wood.

Xiao Qi casually touched the wood frame of the TV wall, and it was over 100 years old too.

The apartment was cleaned immaculately, with three bedrooms and a study, each with its own bathroom.

Two bedrooms were larger with walk-in closets and bathrooms. The third was a bit smaller with just a bathroom. Bao Butler explained it was for the maid, but it was meticulously prepared, with a good view, and even had a half-drunk cup of tea on the nightstand.

It seemed Bao Butler had stayed here the previous night. The butler felt a bit embarrassed to enjoy such luxuries while the young master endured hardships in the mountains.

There was also a large bathroom in the living room. When Xiao Qi saw the toilet, she thought it was an exhibition hall, with a dressing table and beautiful antique wood trims. The chair was over 200 years old.

But the toilet was a modern smart toilet, and the curtains were remote controlled.

Though the furniture had an antique look, some details like the kitchen were very modern.

Xiao Qi didn't know Lvshan City had such high-end places. The antique furniture and location weren't cheap at all.

As soon as they returned, her boyfriend went to use the restroom and shower. Bao Butler thoughtfully gave Xiao Qi a tour of the house.

Curious, Xiao Qi asked, "Is this a rental?"

"The lady thought the young master might come to this area often, so she had me buy it."

Xiao Qi: ...How much?

"Four million yuan. Although the overall price is on the higher side, the owner included the furniture, so I took it." Bao Butler was unabashed, secretly proud, as he saw that some of the furniture was antique from the Ming and Qing dynasties, making it a profitable deal.

Xiao Qi felt Bao Butler was too efficient, buying the place and even getting the bedding ready in such a short time.

He had even prepared a separate bedroom for Xiao Qi filled with books about travel around the world - exactly what she wanted to read. Xiao Qi wouldn't be staying tonight, but she planned to take a couple of books back after browsing for an hour.

Their class reunion was scheduled for 6 pm, and Xiao Qi was quite punctual. She brought her boyfriend along.

Because her boyfriend had spent nearly an hour changing clothes, and Xiao Qi had read for an hour, she felt that if he used the time spent changing to study instead, he could definitely perform better than her and graduate with a good job. Never mind, he could keep changing clothes.

After an hour of changing, her boyfriend chose a low-key khaki wool coat with no logos, lightweight yet warm, with a slightly formal shirt and casual pants underneath.

The pants were black, and the shirt was purple, clashing a bit with the khaki coat. But on him, it looked stylish, with a refined and bright aura that would immediately catch one's eye in a crowd. He looked too good.

Xiao Qi held a book, but her gaze lingered on her boyfriend for nearly 30 seconds before snapping out of it. Stay focused!

Her boyfriend looked stern, with sharp collarbones. He liked coming out in his changed outfits to show Xiao Qi, knowing she appreciated his good looks and was currently attracted mainly to his appearance. But he believed that one day, Xiao Qi would like him for more than just his looks.

Xiao Qi wore a purple cotton jacket, jeans, and a white sweater. Standing together, they looked like they had coordinated their outfits, with Xiao Qi in a purple outer layer and her boyfriend in a purple inner layer.

The two made a striking pair as they walked.

They arrived at the address given by the class president right at 6 pm, punctual as usual.

As they entered, there were already quite a few people inside.

Returning from university, things had clearly changed. The guys didn't change much, but the girls looked like different people. Like Xia Zhen, who used to seem plain and chubby in high school - no one expected that this time, she had slimmed down a lot, even wearing a black dress in winter with fairer skin and newly permed wavy hair, looking much more stylish.

Some girls had even learned to do makeup, almost unrecognizable.

They chatted about their university lives, quite lively.

When Xiao Qi and her boyfriend came in, everyone fell silent upon seeing her. After all, she had been the most discussed person in the class group chat during this semester. Seeing her in person deepened their impression of her. She was not wearing any makeup, and her hairstyle was casual with a few strands sticking out. Her outfit was also quite casual - jeans, a sweater, and a cotton jacket. Unlike other girls, she did not look dressed up, and she was carrying a plain cloth bag on her shoulder, quite familiar-looking. It seemed like she used to carry a similar cloth bag made by her mother when she was in high school.

But her appearance instantly stole the spotlight.

Because Xiao Qi and her boyfriend looked incredibly attractive together.

When you're accompanied by such a handsome boyfriend, does it really matter what kind of bag you carry? It doesn't matter anymore.

The class monitor joked that partners were allowed, but he didn't expect Xiao Qi to actually bring her partner.

But they looked so good together!

Even better than celebrities.

Does this prestigious private school also bestow nobility?

Is it too late to retake the entrance exam and score lower to be able to attend this school?

For a moment, no one spoke.

The TV on the wall automatically played an old KTV song: "I don't have that kind of luck, it's not even my turn..."
