Chapter 175: Jealousy
“Hey Wang Haoran, have you finished filling out your application? If so, come out quickly. Sister Yunhan wants us to check out the school.”
Xu Muyan, feeling conflicted, heard a voice from the classroom door. She looked up and saw the striking figure of Mu Zhaozhao.
Immediately, she began to analyze the implications of Mu Zhaozhao’s words. It seemed Mu Zhaozhao had been sent by Qin Yunhan to fetch Wang Haoran to visit the school. Additionally, both Qin Yunhan and Wang Haoran had applied to Qingling University and planned to visit together.
While Xu Muyan was pondering this, Wen Jing quickly finished her application, submitted it, and ran over to Wang Haoran.
“Can I join you?” Wen Jing asked hopefully.
“You’re already counted in.”
“Okay.” Wen Jing beamed with joy.
Soon, Xu Muyan watched as Wang Haoran, Wen Jing, and Mu Zhaozhao left. After pausing for a few seconds, she made a significant decision, swiftly filling out her application and submitting it.
…
Outside the school gate, Qin Yunhan waited in a Maserati Quattroporte. Before long, Mu Zhaozhao arrived with Wang Haoran and Wen Jing.
“Sister Yunhan, are you sure you want to drive? Maybe someone else should do it,” Mu Zhaozhao suggested, recalling the nerve-wracking ride to school.
“I have a driver’s license, you know. Stop nagging and get in!” Qin Yunhan said confidently.
“Sister Yunhan, I’m scared,” Mu Zhaozhao said, pouting.
“Are you looking down on me? Hmph, I’m going to prove myself today!” Qin Yunhan insisted stubbornly.
“Let me drive. I’ve been to Qingling University before, so I’m familiar with the route,” Wang Haoran suggested, doubting Qin Yunhan’s reliability.
“Alright.” Although Qin Yunhan was headstrong, she was quite compliant with Wang Haoran. For instance, when Wang Haoran asked her not to reveal their relationship yet, she agreed without question.
“Are you planning to visit Qingling University? Take me with you,” Xu Muyan said as she ran over.
“Yanyan, did you also apply to Qingling University?” Wen Jing asked in surprise.
“Yes, I did,” Xu Muyan nodded.
“Your grades are among the top ten in the school, with scores close to 700. Why would you choose Qingling University?” Qin Yunhan asked suspiciously.
“I don’t want to be too far from home, so I chose a good school nearby,” Xu Muyan explained, glancing at Wang Haoran.
Qin Yunhan, being perceptive, noticed Xu Muyan’s subtle gaze.
“Is that really the only reason?”
“What a coincidence! We’ll all be studying at the same school again. It’s fate,” Wang Haoran interjected, trying to ease the tension.
Honestly, he was elated with Xu Muyan’s decision.
Seeing Wang Haoran’s response, Qin Yunhan didn’t press further about Xu Muyan’s school choice. She opened the door to the front passenger seat, ready to get in. However, Xu Muyan approached.
“I get carsick easily. Can I sit in the front?” Xu Muyan wanted to be closer to Wang Haoran.
“What a coincidence, I get carsick too. I want to sit in the front,” Qin Yunhan insisted.
“Does it really matter who sits in the front?” Wang Haoran interjected.
“It does!” Qin Yunhan and Xu Muyan said in unison, their eyes locking.
Both of them had large, bright eyes, and neither backed down.
Wang Haoran was a bit surprised. Wen Jing, on the other hand, chuckled quietly. She suddenly felt that being a secret girlfriend was better—at least she didn’t have to compete for attention.
“How long are you two going to stare at each other…” Mu Zhaozhao muttered, watching the scene unfold.
“Why don’t you decide who sits in the front with rock-paper-scissors?” Wang Haoran suggested upon seeing neither was willing to give in.
“Okay,” Xu Muyan agreed.
“No,” Qin Yunhan objected, looking directly at Wang Haoran. “You’re driving, you decide who sits in the front.”
“Well…” Wang Haoran hesitated. In this situation, choosing one would upset the other.
“Wang Haoran, we’ve been classmates for so many years. Would you really let me get carsick?” Xu Muyan blinked her big eyes at Wang Haoran.
Qin Yunhan was immediately annoyed. Playing the emotional card?
She leaned in and whispered something in Wang Haoran’s ear. After hearing it, Wang Haoran looked at her strangely and paused for a few seconds.
“Ahem… Xu Muyan, I’ll drive slowly, so you won’t feel carsick. You can sit in the back.”
[Ding, the host has made the heroine Xu Muyan feel jealous, earning 300 villain points!]
“Uh… okay,” Xu Muyan pouted, feeling a bit disappointed and curious about what Qin Yunhan whispered.
Qin Yunhan, seeing this, raised her chin slightly, feeling a bit smug.
The car set off smoothly towards Qingling University. Qin Yunhan couldn’t sit still and kept chatting with Wang Haoran.
As they talked, a supercar zoomed past the Maserati in a flash, its silhouette becoming a blur in just a few blinks.
“Oh my, what kind of supercar was that? It looked pretty cool,” Mu Zhaozhao exclaimed.
“Pagani Huayra,” Wang Haoran replied. When Wang Xiang and Zhen Li planned to gift him a multi-million-dollar supercar, Wang Haoran specifically learned about top-tier supercars, hence his knowledge. Even with a fleeting glimpse, he recognized the car.
“Pagani Huayra, just hearing the name makes it sound fast!” Mu Zhaozhao said.
“You’re such a car novice. That was about 200 km/h, which ordinary supercars can reach. The key isn’t the car, but the skill!” Qin Yunhan teased her best friend.
“Exactly. That Pagani was changing lanes and overtaking at such high speed, it was both stable and fast. Not simple at all,” Wang Haoran agreed, nodding. His system store actually had master-level driving skills, but it required several thousand villain points. Wang Haoran didn’t need it, so he hadn’t redeemed the skill.
“Could the person driving the Pagani be a professional racer?” Mu Zhaozhao asked.
“Whether they’re a professional racer or not, they’re definitely an experienced driver,” Wang Haoran affirmed.
“I… I think I saw a kid driving…” Wen Jing timidly added.
