Chapter 259: I Give You a Perfect Score for That Flex

In the small courtyard, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe sat across from each other at a small table, eating dinner.

“Su Hanhan, do you want to have a barbecue?”

Gu Yifan suddenly asked.

“Huh?”

Su Qinghe, who was taking small bites of her food, froze.

She didn’t quite understand why Gu Yifan had suddenly asked that.

‘Is it because he doesn’t like the food?’

Seeing Su Qinghe staring at him blankly, Gu Yifan smiled faintly. “Here’s the thing. A few days ago, Young Master Bi, Wang Shouyi, and the others mentioned that they’ve known us for so long but still don’t know where we live, so they wanted to come visit.”

“And since tomorrow is the weekend and we have no classes, I was thinking we could invite them and Classmate Bao’s group over. We could have a barbecue right here in the courtyard!”

“We can grill some food, have a few drinks, and enjoy the night breeze. I think it’ll be pretty nice!”

After hearing Gu Yifan’s words, Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up slightly.

“So, Hanhan, what do you think of the idea?” Gu Yifan asked.

“Mhm, whatever you say!”

Su Qinghe nodded.

She basically gave unconditional approval to all of Gu Yifan’s decisions.

Besides, having a barbecue with a few friends sounded pretty good.

It had always been just the two of them in the small courtyard, so having some people over to liven things up would be a nice change.

“Alright!”

Hearing this, Gu Yifan nodded and made the final decision. “Then it’s settled. I’ll tell the guys after dinner. As for Classmate Bao’s group, Su Hanhan, you can ask them.”

“Okay…”

Time flew by, and soon it was around five in the afternoon the next day.

“Let’s go buy the ingredients!”

“We can get the barbecue ingredients first, and by the time we’re back, it’ll be about time for them to arrive!”

Su Qinghe said to Gu Yifan after a moment of thought.

That’s right!

Last night, after they notified Wang Shouyi and Bao Baijie’s group, everyone had agreed without hesitation!

Having your own barbecue on campus!

Who would ever say no to that?

“Alright, today, I’ll follow my Hanhan’s lead!”

Gu Yifan said, pinching Su Qinghe’s little nose.

After that, the two of them changed their clothes and headed out to the supermarket to buy ingredients.

Soon, they arrived at a large nearby supermarket.

Inside, Su Qinghe walked ahead, carefully picking out ingredients, while Gu Yifan followed behind, pushing the shopping cart with a doting expression.

They looked just like a newlywed couple, shopping at the supermarket together!

After buying all the ingredients for the barbecue, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe went to the fruit section and bought some fruit. After all, you need some fruit to cut through the richness of a barbecue!

After buying fruit, it was time to pick out the drinks, of course!

A barbecue without a few drinks would be a total waste!

The two then went and picked out a few cases of imported beer before Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe finally, and contentedly, stopped shopping.

After paying, the total came out to just under two thousand yuan.

For an ordinary university student, over two thousand yuan would be almost a month’s worth of food expenses, but for Gu Yifan, that amount of money was truly nothing.

After paying, with the help of a supermarket employee, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe managed to haul everything to their car.

“Quietly holding the blue and white token, keeping the promise, partings are always spent in disappointment…”

Just as they sat down in the car, Gu Yifan’s phone rang.

Gu Yifan pulled out his phone and glanced at the screen. It was a call from Peng Shaoqiang.

With a small smile, he casually answered the call.

“Hey~”

“Sao Man, what’s up?”

Gu Yifan said.

“Hey, Old Fan, how are the preparations going on your end?”

“Is there anything you need our help with?”

Peng Shaoqiang asked from the other end of the line.

“Hmm… I just finished buying the barbecue ingredients. How about this: I remember they sell charcoal for barbecues near the school gate. You guys go buy some, and I’ll meet up with you in a bit. We can head back together!”

Gu Yifan said after a moment of thought.

“OK! No prob!”

Peng Shaoqiang replied instantly, without the slightest hesitation.

With that, they hung up.

…

「Twenty minutes later.」

The group successfully rendezvoused at the entrance of Jinling University!

When Peng Shaoqiang and the others saw Gu Yifan’s car, they were all completely dumbfounded!

“Holy shit!!!”

“A G-Wagon???”

That rascal Peng Shaoqiang muttered to himself in utter disbelief.

Beside him, Wang Shouyi and He Dongdong were also gawking like idiots.

That’s right!

Although they had always known that Gu Yifan seemed to have a car, they never knew what kind of car he drove.

Moreover, Gu Yifan had always been very low-key. Whenever he drove to class, he would basically park quite far away.

He didn’t like being too conspicuous, nor did he like being stared at like a monkey in a zoo.

He just wanted to get through his university years peacefully and quietly.

But as for Peng Shaoqiang and the others!

They had originally assumed Gu Yifan’s car was just an ordinary commuter car, something in the hundred-thousand-yuan range.

But!!!

They never in a million years expected Gu Yifan to be driving a Mercedes G-Wagon!

Damn it!

A car worth millions!

Does this car have anything to do with a university student?

Not at all, okay?!

“…”

For a moment, the three of them were so shocked they didn’t know what to say.

“Holy shit!”

“Young Master Bi, slap me, will you?!”

After a long moment, Peng Shaoqiang suddenly turned to Wang Shouyi and blurted out.

Wang Shouyi: “?????”

“Quick, Young Master Bi, tell me, am I dreaming?! That bastard Old Fan is actually driving a Mercedes G-Wagon?!”

he said, his face a mask of disbelief.

Wang Shouyi: “…”

Gu Yifan: “…”

“It’s just a car to get around in. Is it that big of a deal?”

Gu Yifan said, looking both speechless and exasperated.

Peng Shaoqiang: “…”

Wang Shouyi: “…”

He Dongdong: “…”

As soon as Gu Yifan said this, it was the three friends’ turn to be speechless.

“Damn it!”

“Old Fan, I give your flexing a perfect score!”

“Seriously!”

“I’m not even afraid of you getting arrogant about it!”

Peng Shaoqiang said grimly after a moment.

“Er…”

Hearing his words, Gu Yifan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

‘Honestly, I wasn’t even trying to flex just now!’

‘Forget it!’

He shook his head helplessly and said, “Alright, stop messing around. Get in the car, let’s talk back at the courtyard. Don’t stand here making a scene!”

「Ten minutes later.」

Peng Shaoqiang, Wang Shouyi, and He Dongdong were once again rendered speechless by the scene before them.

The reason was simple.

A detached house with a quiet, elegant courtyard.

The yard was filled with flowers and plants, looking vibrant and full of life…

“Alright, stop gawking!”

Gu Yifan looked at the three of them, mouths agape and speechless. He couldn’t resist giving each of them a light smack on the back of the head and said irritably, “Come on, help me move the stuff from the car into the yard!”

Peng Shaoqiang, Wang Shouyi, and He Dongdong: “…”
