Chapter 117: Chapter 113: Showing Off Affection! (Please Follow!)

"OK."

Li Tianyi was signing the delivery receipt, grinning smugly as he deliberately flaunted in front of Li Ping’an with great arrogance.

"Are mortals really this boring? Lame."

Ever since his last enlightenment about life, Li Ping’an regarded the mortals of this world as if they were a bunch of ants, easily crushed underfoot, but who would bother crushing ants for no reason?

Li Ping’an remained completely unfazed inside. He just wanted to return to his dormitory and continue with his cultivation. Giving a glare to the three despicable roommates who’d dragged him there for no good reason, he was ready to head back and keep on with his practice.

However, just at that moment, Yuan Furong, who had been hiding nearby for a long time, suddenly stepped out of the crowd, heading in the direction of Li Ping’an and Li Tianyi. This scene immediately attracted everyone’s attention, stirring up a fervent discussion:

"Damn! I knew I wasn’t wrong, the only girl in our school who could casually give away a luxury car worth seven million must be the superstar Yuan Furong."

"I wasn’t wrong either, it must be a gift for Li Ping’an!"

"Are you blind? If it was for Li Ping’an, why is Li Tianyi the one signing for it?"

"Yeah! Yeah! What’s really going on here?"

"I get it now!"

"You get what?"

"It must be because after Li Ping’an pursued Yuan Furong last time, Yuan Furong regretted it and then thought about winning back Li Tianyi, who is very outstanding and comes from a wealthy and powerful family, so she gifted Li Tianyi a Rolls-Royce Cullinan worth seven million today!"

"Exactly, exactly, that makes sense. How long have Li Ping’an and Yuan Furong been together? But have any of you seen them out for a walk or doing anything together? No, right?"

"You’re not wrong, I heard from their classmates that Li Ping’an hasn’t been attending classes for several days now. It must be because Yuan Furong has regretted being with Li Ping’an and dumped him, causing Li Ping’an to be so heartbroken that he stopped attending classes!"

"Hahaha! All that effort for nothing, in the end, Li Ping’an is just a clown!"

"A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh! That clown Li Ping’an is even considering dating our Goddess, the popular star Yuan Furong? He’d be lucky!"

"Thank God for finally seeing clearly. I was puzzled why Yuan Furong would have agreed to Li Ping’an last time, she must have been deceived by those people online, believing that Li Ping’an was an ’Immortal’, but later probably realized Li Ping’an was a fraud, so she kicked him to the curb!"

"Yes, that must be it!"

After a burst of analysis, the male and female students present had concocted a reason for the scene before them. Believing the show of love had concluded and that there was no more excitement or drama to witness, they were ready to disperse.

Just as Li Tianyi had finished writing the receipt, he looked up excitedly to see Yuan Furong approaching him:

"I knew you would regret it, but it’s okay, I forgive you. Thank you for the gift!"

"I’m sorry, but you thanked me too early!"

"What do you mean?"

Everyone saw Yuan Furong passing by Li Tianyi, pinching the receipt with two fingers as she continued walking towards Li Ping’an.

"What are you standing around for, go on, hurry up."

Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng immediately pushed Li Ping’an forward, Yuan Furong then stuffed the receipt into Li Ping’an’s hands, and with both of her hands, she held onto Li Ping’an’s, looking up at him passionately and said:

"Ping’an, to commemorate our seventh day together, I specially got you this gift! I bet you’ll love it!"

"What?"

Li Tianyi heard this and was utterly shocked, his face full of outrage.

"I never expected Li Tianyi to become Yuan Furong’s tool man!"

"I told you this car was bought by Yuan Furong for Li Ping’an, and you still didn’t believe me?"

"Did you see Li Tianyi’s smug, arrogant look just now? He’s just a clown! Hahaha!"

Listening to the mockery from his classmates and feeling their contemptuous stares, Li Tianyi’s emotions went from shock and anger to jealousy and mortification. He hadn’t expected to be played by Li Ping’an and Yuan Furong again, though of course, Li Ping’an was unaware of all this.

"Humph! You two, a dog couple, just wait!"

Overwhelmed with shame and unable to bear the humiliation, Clown Li Tianyi completely lost his composure, cursed Li Ping’an and Yuan Furong—who were in the middle of sweetness—and then hurried back to his dorm to hide.

Li Ping’an remained very calm in the face of Yuan Furong’s sudden affection, even their public kiss was initiated by Yuan Furong, and eventually, the two embraced each other, basking in the jealous and envious looks from those around them.

"Big sis, didn’t you say you were going to buy a sports car? The cheapest well-known one is about three million, but you got this Rolls-Royce Cullinan that’s worth seven million, and it’s pink too. What were you thinking?"

Li Ping’an, held in Yuan Furong’s embrace, asked quietly in her ear.

"Didn’t you say whatever you’re worth, I should spend? I was going to buy a sports car, but after I went back and told my dad about the deal we made, he said an entry-level sports car isn’t worthy of you. To match your status, I had to get something similar, so I chose the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. And the reason it’s pink is to make it obvious to everyone at school that I bought it for you – it’s all a display of my love for you."

Yuan Furong responded softly in Li Ping’an’s ear.

"Then why let Li Tianyi inspect it? You weren’t thinking about humiliating him for me, were you? Let me tell you, I don’t care about anyone in this world. Doing this is just too mean, like I’m deliberately teaming up with you to play Li Tianyi!"

"You’re so suspicious! It’s all your fault, you know!"

Yuan Furong gently punched Li Ping’an on the shoulder and explained:

"Did you respond when I contacted you before? You not only stood me up but also ignored me, leaving me no choice. I couldn’t get hold of you, I didn’t have your roommate’s contact either, so, in the end, I had no choice but to find the class monitor’s number from the class group chat and ask him to receive it on your behalf since you guys live together. Otherwise, how could they deliver the car?"

"Heh..."

Li Ping’an glanced over the crowd of more than a thousand onlookers and muttered discontentedly:

"Big sis, could you make any more of a scene? You could have given it to me quietly, but you made such a spectacle. Now with so many people looking at me, do you want me to die of embarrassment, huh?"

Thinking she could knock Li Ping’an over with this luxury car, Yuan Furong completely missed the resentment in his words and teased him by pinching his cheek:

"Now you know what social death feels like? When you kissed me forcefully last time, why didn’t you realize it then? Weren’t you quite thick-skinned?"

Li Ping’an shot back:

"Yuan Furong, it was clearly you asking me for a favor, and now you’re making it seem like I’m living off a woman. If word gets out, won’t I be the laughingstock, huh?"
