"Ah!"
In the bathroom, Bai Ningbing whined playfully. "You big bad man, what are you doing here?"
"Of course, it's to take a bath!" Luofeng said earnestly. "Alright, let's take a bath first, then I'll take you to school."
Luofeng wasn't impulsive. Bai Ningbing had only played Canyon Game for the first time yesterday. Naturally, he wouldn't act too boldly with her yet.
The two had breakfast in the dining area of the Cloud Hotel. Luofeng still chose the hotel's Rolls-Royce courtesy car to take Bai Ningbing to school. On their way to the garage, Luofeng and Bai Ningbing were still hand in hand. It was undoubtedly much sweeter than before.
No wonder they say 'love, love.' It requires two to truly connect. Otherwise, if it's just affection... COUGH, COUGH, COUGH. Anyway, today was completely different from the past.
Previously, Bai Ningbing seemed to have given ninety percent of herself to Luofeng, but now, she was completely devoted, with no barriers between them.
"Ningbing, are you going to attend class today?" Luofeng asked.
Bai Ningbing sat in the back seat of the car. She quickly saw the messages from Wang Yanran on her phone.
"Ningbing, do you want me to ask for leave for you?"
"There's an important class at nine o'clock!"
"Where are you?"
"If you don't reply by 8:30, I'll ask for leave for you, saying you're sick with a fever."
"Hehe, you really are 'feverish,' aren't you? [Wicked Grin]..."
Bai Ningbing read Wang Yanran's messages, her cheeks flushing slightly as she looked at Luofeng. Then she began to reply.
Bai Ningbing: I'm going to class. I'm on my way and should be there around 9:10, so I'll be a bit late.
Wang Yanran: I thought you wouldn't make it today! So, how was it? Come on, tell me how it felt!
Bai Ningbing: ...
Wang Yanran: Share with me! We're good sisters, aren't we?
Bai Ningbing: No!
Wang Yanran: Wow, that's harsh! Are you picking on me because I don't have a boyfriend?
Bai Ningbing: Yes.
Wang Yanran: I... You... You're such a toxic friend!
Bai Ningbing: We're good sisters, but I'm not telling you.
Wang Yanran: Hmph! Just wait until I find a boyfriend; then I'll find out for myself.
Bai Ningbing: Okay, good luck with that!
Wang Yanran: You just wait!
Bai Ningbing: I'm looking forward to it!
Luofeng glanced at Bai Ningbing as she chatted but had no intention of letting go of her hand. Instead, his thumb caressed her delicate skin, provoking Bai Ningbing to glare at him with feigned fierceness.
"Luofeng, stop messing around. I'm talking with Yan Ran about class," Bai Ningbing blatantly lied.
But Luofeng pretended not to hear. He leaned back against the car seat, his left hand still holding Bai Ningbing's. Closing his eyes to rest, he looked every bit the carefree lord.
Bai Ningbing, realizing that Luofeng had no intention of letting go, could only snort softly and then continued to reply to messages one-handed.
Around 8:10 AM, the car finally arrived at Jingzhou University. After registration, they smoothly entered the school grounds and eventually reached the outdoor parking lot. Luofeng instructed the driver to wait there, then led Bai Ningbing to her classroom.
Jingzhou University had an open campus, with virtually no restrictions on entry. Apart from a very few small classes where the teacher's permission was needed, all other classes were open for auditing. Luofeng, of course, confidently walked into the classroom hand in hand with Bai Ningbing.
Wang Yanran was in the classroom, and she was startled to see Luofeng and Bai Ningbing come in together.
After lunch, Luofeng headed to the Jingzhou University parking lot. The Cloud Hotel's courtesy car and driver were still waiting there. As Luofeng approached, the driver proactively opened the car door.
After getting into the car, Luofeng asked, "Driver, may I ask your surname?"
"Hello, Mr. Luo. My surname is Yang. You can just call me Old Yang," Old Yang said with a smile.
"Old Yang, have you had lunch?" Luofeng asked.
"I have. They prepare bread and mineral water for us when we drive out," Old Yang replied.
Luofeng nodded slightly. "Then let's head to the Patek Philippe boutique now."
"Do you know the way?" Luofeng asked.
"I do!" Old Yang responded.
Luofeng nodded, saying nothing more. Sitting in the back seat, he began to send messages in their group chat.
"Dali, have we secured the photolithography machine yet?"
When Luofeng left Capital City two days ago, he had instructed Chen Dali and the others to handle this matter.
Chen Dali: "Still negotiating. The machine's ownership is a bit complex. We're handling it and will ensure everything is thoroughly cleared up to avoid future trouble."
Luofeng: Yes, the ownership issue must be thoroughly resolved, or it will be very troublesome later. Thanks for your hard work.
Chen Dali: Brother Feng, you're too polite. I haven't even properly thanked you for the graphene investment. By the way, my father would like to invite you to our home for dinner.
Li Bo Kai: Same here, my family too.
Lin Xiaoyun: Yes, same for us. Our families are eager to meet you.
Luofeng: I'm in Jingzhou right now. Is anyone interested in a 'Blue starry sky'? I heard this small boutique here might have one in stock.
