Chapter 40: Four People "You are finally going to admit that you are actually hidden...

"He has made progress too." Jiang Ci spoke after Yu Xiang finished speaking.

"Wow, I'm not surprised at all." Yan Mu looked at the two teenagers in the back seat through the car mirror. "I saw it when I got your information. One has stable grades, and the other is a dark horse. I remember that math and physics are more difficult for you, Xiaoyu?"

When talking about math, Yu Xiang immediately stiffened: "Yes, yes."

"Well, I don't have any reliable experience to share with you about this. After all, I didn't encounter any difficulties with these two subjects when I was studying." Yan Mu thought for a while, then looked at Fu Siyan who was concentrating on driving, "Do you think it's possible for you to help him with his studies?"

Fu Siyan held the steering wheel, glanced at the rearview mirror, and replied as he changed lanes: "He transfers to another school or we move."

"Or we could switch jobs and teach at their school." Yan Mu calmly mentioned the final possibility that Fu Siyan hadn't mentioned. "Unfortunately, any of these three options are difficult to implement. But I believe you can do it. After all, you have a big boss by your side."

"It can't be my imagination, right? Your relationship is much better than when you were exchange students." Yan Mu propped up his face with one hand, his eyes falling on the two people's matching clothes. He said with interest, "That's a good thing."

As if some wonderful memories were evoked by him, Yu Xiang's face felt inexplicably hot. After holding it in for a while, he softly said "hmm".

"We are about to arrive at our destination." The electronic voice sounded again.

"Ah, we're here so soon." Yan Mu couldn't help but mutter.

At this moment, in front of a landmark building not far away.

"It's so hot, Lao Fang." Zhang Miao was already fanning himself with his hands. "Why haven't Brother Yu and the others arrived yet? Why don't we find an air-conditioned place to sit first?"

"Let's wait a little longer. We agreed to meet at 3:30. Isn't there still ten minutes left?" Fang Chengyu stood side by side with him and replied.

"But are you sure Brother Yu can arrive on time?" Zhang Miao twitched his lips awkwardly. "Nine times out of ten, he's late. The record is there to check."

"This time is different. This time he's coming with Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci always arrives early."

Zhang Miao suddenly understood: "I understand, so you mean that one of them is late and the other is early, so together they both arrive just on time!"

Fang Chengyu gave him a thumbs up with satisfaction: "Smart, worthy of being my deskmate."

Zhang Miao smiled and touched his nose: "Keep a low profile."

"Fuck Sanshui, look at that!" Fang Chengyu suddenly called him.

Zhang Miao, still feeling smug, turned away reflexively, asking blankly, "What are you looking at?"

Fang Chengyu couldn't point, so he just pointed in one direction and said, "Maybach, a high-end one at that."

Zhang Miao looked in that direction and exclaimed, "Really? Which big boss is out shopping?"

"Maybe the shopping mall behind us belongs to someone else?"

"Is the domineering president novel finally going to become reality?"

"You still read domineering president novels?"

"How is that possible!" Zhang Miao immediately denied. "It's just that my mom listens to these audiobooks every day and I've been influenced by them."

Fang Chengyu laughed crazily: "That means I saw it."

"Nonsense! This doesn't even count, right?" Zhang Miao argued, his neck stiff. At the same time, he glanced over and noticed something. "Hey, Old Fang, why does that car seem to be coming this way? Isn't the parking lot in the other direction?"

Fang Chengyu teased disapprovingly, "You changed the subject so abruptly."

"No, I'm serious, look—" Zhang Miao winked at Fang Chengyu frantically.

The latter finally realized it and looked over, just in time to see the black Maybach they were talking about pull over a few meters in front of them. He couldn't help but be stunned: "Private Marseille wronged you."

Then they watched as the back door opened and a long leg stepped out.

Zhang Miao pursed his lips tightly, his breathing seemed to stop: "Could it be the president...Jiang, Jiang Ge?!"

When he saw the face of the person coming out, he felt like he was struck by lightning, especially when he saw Yu Xiang coming out of the car after Jiang Ci, he was so shocked that he forgot to close his mouth.

He quickly exchanged a glance with Fang Chengyu, who was also shocked to the point of dropping his jaw, and ran towards the two people who had just gotten off the car, asking impatiently -

"Did you take a taxi to a Maybach?"

"Are you finally going to admit that you're actually a hidden rich second generation?"

They spoke in unison, with two different trains of thought, but unfortunately neither of them was right.

"I didn't come here by taxi." Jiang Ci answered one of the questions.

"But he's not a rich second-generation either." Yu Xiang immediately replied, "I just got in the teacher's car. Don't be so loud. It's embarrassing."

Upon hearing it was the teacher, Zhang Miao and Fang Chengyu both shrank their necks, becoming more composed, but the look of surprise on their faces remained. "Which teacher drives a luxury car? Is he secretly running a cram school behind our backs?"

"I didn't say we were your current teacher." Yu Xiang was sweating profusely. He squeezed out these words through gritted teeth and immediately turned around and waved to Yan Mu in the passenger seat. "Thank you, teacher. Be safe on the road!"

The car window rolled down, Yan Mu stuck his head out, smiled and nodded: "OK. Go play with your friends."

Fang Chengyu and Zhang Miao looked Yan Mu up and down but couldn't remember which teacher he was. They wanted to continue asking when Jiang Ci and Yu Xiang, with stern faces, dragged them away one by one.

Looking at the four people's backs gradually going away, Yan Mu closed the car window and turned around, and his eyes met Fu Siyan who was looking at him.

"Where are we going now?"

"Let me take a look." Yan Mu glanced at the electronic map on the display screen and quickly came up with an idea. "Since we're here, let's go in and take a look."

"OK."

"We are about to head to the nearest underground parking lot." Recognizing their next move, the smart navigation system quickly responded, "Please detour to the right auxiliary road first."

"Thank you Yanyan."

"You're welcome, Master, but you can praise me more."

"Bullshit, shut up." Yan Mu covered his face with his hands, speechless, then put it down again, looking at Fu Siyan with resentment, "Fu Siyan, can you please stop forcing your interaction with it? It's so awkward that I'm going to collapse."

"Sure. The prerequisite is that you change its tone according to my requirements." Fu Siyan had a faint smile on his face, but still replied in a serious tone.

Yan Mu's face was almost paralyzed: "...Having me chattering beside you every day is not enough?"

"For the rare occasion you're not with me."

"Clingy!"

"Yeah. Only you."

Compared to the increasingly wonderful atmosphere here, the other side is a completely different style.

"So those two were your teachers when you were exchange students?" Fang Chengyu said after hearing Yu Xiang's long and concise explanation. "But haven't you only been there a week? How did you become so familiar with the teachers?"

"You don't need to know so much about this." Yu Xiang ended the topic with a lawsuit-like look. "What are you going to do now?"

Zhang Miao looked around blankly. "I don't know. I don't think they told me what they were going to do before they came."

Fang Chengyu: "Brother Yu, you decide. We'll go wherever you say."

"How do I know where to go?" Yu Xiang spread his hands helplessly and looked at Jiang Ci, who looked like he was waiting to be ordered around. "Do you have any recommendations?"

The latter glanced at him coldly: "Don't you have any purposeful plans before going out?"

Yu Xiang thought about it seriously and said confidently, "You can't say that. Eating is also a purpose, but it's not time for dinner yet."

Jiang Ci: “…” Slippery tongue.

"It seems like there really isn't one." Zhang Miao rubbed his hands awkwardly. "Every time they just say they're going out to play, they go out. No one has any idea what they're going to do."

Jiang Ci was silent for a moment, seemingly at a loss for words about this casual outing. After a while, he slowly asked, "So what did you guys do before?"

"It seems like there are only a few things to do." Fang Chengyu racked his brains for a while, "Either go to the arcade to play a few games or find a milk tea shop, order something to drink, and then sit down to play games all afternoon."

"That's it." Jiang Ci made a quick decision, "Let's go."

"Where are we going? The video game arcade or the milk tea shop?" Yu Xiang asked in confusion.

"Video game arcade." Jiang Ci said as he started walking with full energy, saying as he walked, "Can I still eat dinner after drinking milk tea now?"

"That makes sense." Yu Xiang quickly followed, "But aren't you planning on trying something new?"

Jiang Ci turned his head to look at him: "Have you come up with anything new at this time?"

Yu Xiang coughed lightly. "It's not particularly innovative, really. Anyway, let's go over there first."

Five minutes later.

The four of them came to the arcade on the second floor and each bought some game coins.

Yu Xiang was still staring at his phone screen, seriously debating whether to buy the thirty or fifty coin. Suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder. He looked up in confusion, only to see a basin full of game coins: "..."

It was obvious at a glance that the amount was a multiple of thirty or fifty. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, he pointed at the game coins, raised his head to meet the eyes of the current owner of the coins, and asked dryly, "How many did you buy?"

"Buy two hundred and get one hundred free. That seems a bit much." Jiang Ci weighed the small basket of coins. "You haven't bought anything yet? Perfect! The free one hundred coins are yours."

Yu Xiang was almost petrified and didn't even know when he took the basket handed to him by Jiang Ci.

"You can keep it."

Yu Xiang: “…” It was too early to speak just now. I should have told Fang Chengyu and the others that there was actually a hidden rich second generation.

"Brother Yu! Have you guys finished buying—what the hell? Are you here to buy game coins?" Zhang Miao was immediately drawn to the game coins in Yu Xiang's hand. He was dumbfounded and asked, "Brother Yu, are you rich?"
