Chapter 164: 139. Break Defense

"I need to use the restroom first."

It was obvious that Wu Zizhi’s figure staggered as he left, he truly seemed to have cracked.

However, for anyone, facing a double blow of emotional and financial hits, even those with a strong heart would find it hard not to crack at this moment.

Since high school, Wu Zizhi wasn’t much different from most naive students.

Zhong Ruixi was recognized as the school beauty, liking her, and having feelings for her was nothing to be ashamed of.

Ever since he came to Jiang City for school, Wu Zizhi would send Zhong Ruixi a WeChat message every now and then, trying to ask her out.

But she not only maintained a distance typical among classmates but also showed a considerable degree of indifference.

Apart from replying in a WeChat group of six people, those "Good morning," "Good night," "It’s going to rain today, remember to bring an umbrella" messages from Wu Zizhi...

She never replied even once.

By October, he had to admit, it looked like Zhong Ruixi had absolutely no feelings for him.

On this point, Wu Zizhi had a considerable degree of self-awareness.

What his objective circumstances were, what her circumstances were, whether the two of them matched at all.

He was clear about it in his heart.

Other than having a bit of money, Wu Zizhi really couldn’t think of any advantages that would allow him to be with a girl like Zhong Ruixi.

If he wasn’t good enough, then nobody else deserved her either.

So, when Wu Zizhi heard Lu Jincheng say he felt sorry for Zhong Ruixi and didn’t want her to suffer, his initial reaction was that it was kind of funny.

Drama, right?

But what gradually started to break him was Zhong Ruixi’s immediate response.

Not only did she not refute, she even seemed a bit shy.

Could it be that she also had feelings for Lu Jincheng?

He really didn’t want to believe it.

No matter how much the classmates egged them on, and how real it looked like they were together, Wu Zizhi felt that as long as Zhong Ruixi didn’t admit it verbally,

It couldn’t be considered real.

No words spoken, no deal.

The female lead doesn’t nod, then naturally, it doesn’t count.

But then, Wu Zizhi was smacked in the face twice consecutively.

First was Fairy Miao sending Lu Jincheng a voice message, proving he indeed had money, and his wealth wasn’t just talk.

Just as he was finally finding a way to step down, Zhong Ruixi came in with a precise stab.

"Rest assured."

How the fuck can I rest assured, Zhong Ruixi!

You’re the school beauty!

Where’s your coldness towards me?

How can you be so love-struck!

Don’t you know that women who spend money on men will be unlucky for life?

This was concrete proof, cementing their intimate relationship, and even proved one thing.

Regardless of whether Lu Jincheng had money or not, Zhong Ruixi was willing to be with him!

Living off a woman was also acceptable.

The more Wu Zizhi thought about it, the angrier he got, the more he cracked, the emotions swirling in his chest.

The several bottles of beer also surged up to his throat, and the next second, unable to hold back, he opened his mouth wide and vomited in the men’s restroom.

"Fuck!"

Wu Zizhi washed his face, wiped his reddened eyes, and walked back to the private room.

By this time, it seemed like everyone had ignored his disappearance and were already discussing other topics.

"Lu Jincheng, listen, I’ll help introduce you to talents, but you must maintain distance."

Pan Xuan stared with wide eyes, seriously reminding Lu Jincheng.

"Huh?"

"The senior girls in our school are very crafty, now that you have Rui Rui, you need to control yourself and not stray."

Pan Xuan stared intently at Lu Jincheng’s expression, her tone laden with deeper meaning.

After a few seconds, noticing nothing guilt-ridden about him, she turned her head and whispered to Zhong Ruixi.

"When it’s Friday night, you should come and see."

"See what?"

"The north gate of Jiangcheng Music College is packed with luxury cars, all BBA. Driving a Volkswagen would be too embarrassing to pick up girls!"

Pan Xuan made an exaggerated face, experiencing such a scene for the first time as a freshman, with a vivid memory of it.

Jiangcheng Music College was a hunting ground for various wealthy second generations seeking beauties.

First, the college was a concentrated hub of beauties, capable of producing countless gorgeous girls, the large base determining a large market.

Second, apart from having above-average looks, the students each had their own unique talents and excellent temperaments, which significantly added to their appeal.

Third, art students had undergone extensive extra lessons and training from a young age, giving them a deeper understanding of money compared to ordinary girls.

In summary, the efficiency, quality, and effect of the hunt made Jiangcheng Music College highly renowned.

The long-lasting cliché of stocking Red Bull, beverages, and mineral water in cars for hookups originated from Jiangcheng Music College.

"Oh, if you say so, then it’s fine."

Lu Jincheng struggled to suppress his smile, speaking slowly.

"What do you mean?"

Pan Xuan was taken aback, immediately asking in return.

"He’s driving a Volkswagen now, what was it?"

"Oh right! A Golf."

Zhong Ruixi let out a knowing smile, her lips curling slightly, her smile sweet.

"Ah? You’re even driving..."

Pan Xuan was again startled, unconsciously sizing up Lu Jincheng anew.

My dad wouldn’t even buy me a car, what’s going on?

But upon reflection, Pan Xuan considered that a Golf cost just over a hundred thousand, affordable on Lu Jincheng’s salary, and she was reassured.

Her opinion of him consequently improved.

A freshman, an entrepreneur, a celebrity, owning a car.

Is this really my high school classmate?

Once the word "Golf" surfaced, although everyone was getting used to Lu Jincheng’s uniqueness, they were still slightly awestruck by his modest flaunting.

Nowadays, without family backing and being young, how many people could afford their own cars?

Despite Pan Xuan’s previous embellishments, those luxury cars parked at the school entrance, ninety-nine percent belonged to the overly indulgent products of wealthy parents.

"Yeah, I’m driving this, so definitely no show, don’t worry about it."

Lu Jincheng took over the conversation, his tone light.

"Hey, I don’t think so."

At this moment, Tan Huilin looked up and said.

"On the contrary, you need to be more restrained, in some girls’ eyes, a self-made man is more attractive than a second-generation wealth."

Undoubtedly, this was a heartfelt truth.

Self-made individuals, whether in terms of personality charm, the way they handle affairs, or their decisiveness, outshone those born into wealth by far.

Moreover, Mr. Lu had the greatest advantage — his youth.

His future was promising, his prospects boundless; this was his most potent weapon.

"Alright, alright, enough of that, let’s change the topic."

Zhong Ruixi had already discussed this topic with Lu Jincheng early on and didn’t want to talk more about it now.

In her view, instead of worrying about some hypothetical rival senior students at the music college, who were completely irrelevant,

it was better to consider the real senior student next to Lu Jincheng.

The willing need no teaching, the unwilling can’t be taught.

What was the use of worrying about these things?

Absolutely none.

She glanced sideways, noticing Wu Zizhi who had just entered the room, her tone curious.

"Wu Zizhi, why are your eyes red?"
