Moving On from the Tsundere, I Choose the Perfect Sweetheart

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The Eve of Departure, Su Qinghe’s Worries

”A... a road trip?”

”No way, Brother Fan, you’re not kidding me, are you?”

Wang Zibo asked weakly.

”What’s there to joke about!”

Hearing what Wang Zibo said on the other end of the line, Gu Yifan was a little speechless.

”Holy crap!”

”Brother Fan, you’re for real!”

Wang Zibo sounded completely shocked on the other end of the line. After a moment’s thought, he asked weakly, ”I want to go on a trip too. Can you take me with you? I can do all the menial stuff, like serving tea and water, all the dirty work!”

Hearing Wang Zibo’s words, Gu Yifan smiled slightly. ’That’s exactly what I was waiting for you to say!’

He had planned on asking Wang Zibo to come along from the start. After all, on a long drive, having an extra person meant having extra help.

Besides, just as he himself had said, someone would be needed to do the heavy lifting and dirty work along the way!

And Wang Zibo was the perfect candidate!

”Take you?”

”It’s not impossible to bring you along!”

”But there’s one condition!”

Gu Yifan said, pretending to ponder it for a moment.

”What kind of condition?”

Wang Zibo paused for a second on the other end, but after a moment’s thought, he blurted out, ”Ah, whatever! Brother Fan, as long as you take me, I’ll do anything!”

”Heh heh~”

Seeing the guy act like this, Gu Yifan couldn’t help but laugh.

”Alright, you said it yourself!”

”I’m at the department store building now. Come on over!”

Gu Yifan said coolly.

Without waiting for Wang Zibo to react, he hung up the phone.

BEEP BEEP BEEP— BEEP BEEP BEEP—

Listening to the busy signal, Wang Zibo didn’t know how to react for a moment.

Meanwhile, Su Qinghe looked at Gu Yifan, who had a mischievous grin on his face after hanging up, and was a little confused.

”We’ve got someone to carry our stuff!”

Gu Yifan pinched Su Qinghe’s little nose and smiled. ”Let’s go, Su Hanhan. Time for a shopping spree!”

”Oh, okay.”

Su Qinghe didn’t quite understand, but she obediently followed Gu Yifan.

...

「Three hours later.」

”DING~”

”Congratulations, Host, you have successfully used the 0-1000x Spending Rebate Crit Card. The amount spent was 66,824.5 yuan, triggering a crit rebate multiplier of 16.8x. The rebate amount is 1,122,651.6 yuan. The Host’s current account balance is 1,124,673.93 yuan.”

Hearing the system’s crisp, mechanical female voice in his mind, Gu Yifan froze for a second.

”Uh...”

”Only 16.8x!”

Gu Yifan muttered to himself, a little disappointed.

’Then again, it makes sense. There’s no way it would actually crit for 1000x and give me over sixty million yuan just like that!’

’Well... 16.8x, getting over a million isn’t bad either!’

’Besides, those 150,000 yuan worth of Moutai founder shares should be in my hands soon anyway!’

’Now that I have this million-plus, I at least won’t have to be so timid about spending money on this road trip!’

’A person can’t be too greedy, right?!’

Gu Yifan thought to himself.

However, Su Qinghe and Wang Zibo were staring, dumbfounded, at the huge pile of stuff in front of them!

There were computers, cell phones, a pile of all kinds of food, and an assortment of off-road camping gear.

The two of them had already lost track of how much money Gu Yifan had spent in total, but it was definitely in the tens of thousands!

After all, the computers and phones alone had already cost thirty to forty thousand!

”This...”

Wang Zibo looked at the massive pile of things, utterly shocked. ”Brother Fan, are you planning to live in the wild long-term?”

”SMACK~!”

”Live in the wild my ass!”

”Do you still want a computer or not?”

”Hurry up and move all this stuff to the car for me, chop-chop!”

Gu Yifan couldn’t resist giving him a big slap across the face as he said irritably.

”Huh?”

Wang Zibo froze for a second, then his eyes went wide!

He snapped his head up to look at Gu Yifan and asked weakly, in disbelief, ”Um... Brother Fan, did you just say... one of these computers is for me?”

”Isn’t that obvious?!”

”Why else would I buy three computers?!”

”I’m giving this computer to you. Consider it your coming-of-age birthday present!”

Gu Yifan glanced at him and said coolly.

”Uh... but my birthday already passed!”

Wang Zibo said, looking lost.

”Oh, then count it for next year’s!”

Gu Yifan said casually.

Wang Zibo: ”...”

”Look, do you want it or not? If you don’t, I’ll take it back and return it!”

”Stop dithering like a girl!”

Gu Yifan said impatiently.

”Uh... No, don’t do that!”

”I want it, I want it!”

The moment he heard Gu Yifan say he was going to return the computer, Wang Zibo panicked!

”Thank you, my Brother Fan, for the laptop!”

”Brother Fan, Brother Fan, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice!”

He said to Gu Yifan with a fawning expression, and even started singing, making Gu Yifan resist the urge to kick him down the stairs!

The two of them finally managed to stuff everything into the car. By now, every space except for the front seats was packed to the brim, and even then, they almost couldn’t fit it all!

It couldn’t be helped!

Gu Yifan had simply bought too much stuff!

”Hanhan, let’s get in the car!”

Gu Yifan said to Su Qinghe beside him, dusting off his hands.

”Mhm.”

Su Qinghe didn’t say anything, just nodded lightly.

Just as the two of them got into the car, Wang Zibo was about to hop in, only to find there was no room for him at all.

”Brother Fan, there’s... there’s no room. What do we do?”

He said to Gu Yifan in the driver’s seat, completely dumbfounded.

”Oh, it’s fine. I have a plan!”

Gu Yifan glanced at him and said coolly.

With that, he turned and started rummaging through the glove compartment, as if looking for something.

”Aha!”

”Found it!”

A moment later, Gu Yifan smiled faintly. ”Here, you’ve got two yuan. Take the bus home yourself! I’ll wait for you at my place. Remember to come get your computer, ’kay?”

Before Wang Zibo could react, Gu Yifan shoved the two yuan into his hand, started the car, and stepped on the gas.

”VROOOM~!!

With a roar of the engine, the car sped away.

Wang Zibo stood there, dumbstruck and staring blankly at the scene!

「After a long moment.」

Having snapped out of his daze, Wang Zibo muttered to himself, ”That son of a bitch Gu Yifan... driving his own car but making me take the bus...”

”Forget it. For the sake of the laptop, I’ll let it slide this time!”

...

Meanwhile, in Gu Yifan’s car, Su Qinghe was also holding a laptop in her lap as she sat in the passenger seat.

It couldn’t be helped!

There was simply no other place in the car to put it!

She was looking down in silence, her expression heavy with thought, as if something was weighing on her mind.

Gu Yifan noticed that something was off with her and called out, ”Su Hanhan?”

”Hm?”

Su Qinghe didn’t look up, only responding softly.

Gu Yifan thought for a moment before asking, ”Er... is there something you want to say to me?”
