then turned to look at Su Can again. She was filled with a sense of gratitude towards this boy; if not for him, she would probably still be lost and directionless. She wouldn’t have the courage to res...Chapter 125: Blessing

"It's not that exaggerated. Is Fudan University a den of wolves or just another university" Zhao Chunyang replied with a smile to Li Lan's comment.

Li Lan agreed, "After you attend university, you'll understand that they aren't a pack of wolves, but merely a group of lonely individuals."

Zhang Lin was very close to her boyfriend Zhao Chunyang. While others were chatting, she would only occasionally join in; most of the time, she would hold hands with her boyfriend and wander around the mall as if enjoying this lifestyle where they are the couple amidst a group of friends.

She held up a Milan shirt at that moment, flipping it over a few times in front of the mirror before deciding it didn't suit her. She then looked at Su Can and said, "They say you're quite mysterious. I didn't get to talk much when we met last time, but today, I see you're quite shy. Don’t worry about that; your relationship with Wang Weiwei must be very good, right We are also friends with him, and Lin Luoran is even closer—we can be open with her." Zhang Lin said this slyly.

"If we were to be honest with each other, you'd feel inferior," Lin Luoran crossed her arms, looking down at Zhang Lin in disdain.

It was as if the Spanish king who once believed he ruled the world had this expression. However, she wasn't a monarch but an empress, looking down at Zhang Lin—a pitiful life under her rule.

Seeing that her boyfriend's gaze was respectfully moving over to Lin Luoran at this moment, Zhang Lin puffed out her chest defiantly and said, "Feeling inferior Open your eyes, Lin Luoran! Women who feel inferior are only those who see me."

Lin Luoran merely glanced at her. "I admit that breast cream is quite effective... But it seems you applied it unevenly—your left side appears to have a cup size larger than the right by half a cup. Are you sure this pose isn’t uncomfortable for you"

Zhang Lin let out an 'ah' and turned her head, punching her boyfriend’s arm twice. "I told you to apply it with more care every day! What do we do now!"

U Chunyang looked innocent. "I did use quite a lot of cream. And how can your cup size have changed I didn’t notice."

Zhang Lin pointed at her once she had recovered from this, saying, “Lin Luoran, I curse you to not find a boyfriend in university! You are such a white-collar worker who’s cunning and selfish!"

After exchanging a few playful remarks with Lin Luoran, they attracted the attention of many people around them. Zhang Lin then caught her breath and said to Su Can, "That's how we interact; don't mind it."

Su Can felt his blood boil from this interaction between the female demons. If everyone acted like that, men would really be in a difficult situation.

Zhang Lin tidied her hair and said, “We’ll get to know each other better as we interact more; I heard you also study at a university in Shanghai That’s great! We can see each other often from now on and become close friends."

"Close enough to be open with each other" Su Can asked sarcastically.

Lin Luoran frowned, "Su Can, beware—I might hit you!"

The girls collectively giggled; the guys exclaimed that this guy, who appeared quite shy before, was actually very introverted and sly.

Zhang Lin laughed and pointed at Zhao Chunyang beside her. “Actually, I'm interested in you, but my boyfriend keeps a tight watch on me. No wonder Wang Weiwei and the others get along so well with you—there's nothing wrong with your impression."

Li Lan then said, "If you had to choose between Zhao Chunyang and Su Can when you encounter both of them, which one would interest you more Beware; we're all watching. This is a real game of truth or dare that must be answered honestly!"

The girls cheered.

Zhang Lin smiled and said, "I encountered this situation as well. It's really hard to choose. But, Su Cen... I definitely wouldn't pick you."

Su Cen shrugged his shoulders, indicating he didn't mind too much. This group of men and women certainly stood out in the mall.

"I still think my guy is solid and reliable!" Zhao Chunyang sighed with relief. Although these friends often joke around like this, in public, I must uphold my girlfriend's dignity.

Zhang Lin turned around, patted Zhao Chunyang’s shoulder and chest, saying, "Your body isn't muscular enough for me; I prefer someone who makes me feel secure. Also, you're too shy. In Rongcheng, it's said that men can speak well to win girls' hearts. You make me think of a restrained Shanghai man—most college girls don’t like this type." Zhao Chunyang subconsciously straightened his back, as if the flowers only truly shine with green leaves around them. Zhang Lin concluded her remarks, saying, "You need to change."

Su Cen smiled; it was an unpleasant feeling being lectured by a small girl. Fortunately, his smile didn't look stiff in front of this group who paid close attention to him thanks to his two lifetimes of experiences.

People found him quite distinctive. Li Lan felt guilty for targeting Su Cen earlier and thought she should respect his magnanimity.

About sensing that Su Cen was losing the debate, Lin Zhounian quickly spoke up, "Su Cen doesn't have to take exams; he's directly admitted into Shanghai South University through recommendation. Even if he wasn’t recommended, his grades would still be enough for South University."

Wang Weiwei nodded in agreement, "That’s right. At our school, Su Cen isn’t shy at all—everyone knows who he is."

Zhang Lufeiyi exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, he's an outstanding student!"

Zhang Lin nodded and said, "Yeah, a very good student indeed. Although it’s not surprising given his appearance, South University is considered one of the top universities in China—its diploma carries weight. When you succeed in the future, make sure to treat us to a grand feast." Even though she was saying this, her tone sounded indifferent.

These girls weren't like Zhang Lufeiyi, who felt excited about good grades. Though Zhang Lin and Li Lan had ordinary looks, they knew how to dress up well and came from decent backgrounds; in an imbalanced gender ratio society like China's, there were many sought-after girls. Among the boys who pursued them since childhood, there were plenty with excellent academic records.

However, these boys were rejected because they either acted too arrogantly or lacked personality. In contrast, Zhao Chunyang’s masculine charm satisfied Zhang Lin.

The group went from the ground floor to the fifth floor and then to the second floor menswear sports department. Zhang Lufeiyi eagerly sought opportunities to talk with Su Cen; among these friends of Lin Luoran who had come from Shanghai, she was most interested in getting acquainted with him.

"Later, we’ll try Chengdu’s hotpot and see if it's true that adding two drops of chili oil to the white pot will make us drink several large bottles of ice water," Zhang Lufeiyi said.

Su Cen nodded in agreement. He felt that there was still room for improvement in Dunhuang Mall’s service; he planned to bring it up with Wang Yue and her friends another day, suggesting some refinements.

Zhang Lin asked Su Cen, "You really won’t buy anything"

Su Cen shook his head.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Lin insisted, "Just pick something. We came here to buy gifts for Chengdu friends. It wouldn't make sense if everyone took something but you didn’t. As host today, I’ll take care of it. Come on," she said and pulled Su Cen into a store without further ado. Su Cen was somewhat無奈，隻好找了個櫃檯選了一件T恤，進門換了出來。眾人的目光一亮，今天蘇燦的著裝低調了許多，這一件相反活潑許多，和蘇燦年輕的麵容纔夠搭調，配合起來天衣無縫，倒是讓人怔了怔。

“這樣穿顯得精神多了。”李嵐也不忘誇讚一句。

“的確的確，如果現在問我，你和我家那口子同時在我生命裡出現，我會選擇哪個，我還得猶豫猶豫。”張琳摸著尖下巴一副精明女人模樣又掏出卡劃了賬，“你們都得學一學，這是迄今為止我見過最便宜的一件衣服，能夠讓穿的人如此出彩的。”

不好意思，我在翻譯最後一段時犯了一個小錯誤。以下是糾正後的完整英文版本，確保符合您的要求：“Why don't you just pick something We came here to buy gifts for our Chengdu friends. It wouldn’t make sense if everyone took something and you didn’t. Besides, today I’m the host. Let’s go,” she said without further ado, pulling Su Cen into a store. Su Cen couldn't resist; he picked out a T-shirt from a counter, put it on in the fitting room, and came out. Everyone's eyes lit up: Today, Su Cen was dressed rather plainly, but this piece was lively and complemented his youthful face perfectly, making everyone blink in surprise.

"You look much more energetic like this," Li Lan couldn't help but compliment him.

“Indeed indeed, if you appeared with my boyfriend at the same time in my life, I would still be hesitating,” Zhang Lin rubbed her pointed chin and said, “It’s so cheap yet it makes one look outstanding.” She took out her card to pay the bill.

"Now that we've finished our driving test, conveniently you guys have cars. Shouldn't we find a place to practice" Lin Zouwu had always been interested in the Volkswagen Beetle and BMW 7 Series.

Xu Zhuoming said, "Why don’t we use Zhang Lin's Beetle I only dare drive my car when my father is away on business in Europe. I wouldn't dare let dust accumulate on it; he would kill me if he found out!"

"Is a Beetle the kind of car that a man should be driving A real man needs to be more assertive, and a car like this gives him stability. Don’t worry, don’t worry. Though we are beginners at driving, we won't scratch your precious car even a bit; we will be very careful. Hey, aren’t you not trusting us as friends"

Xu Zhuoming pleaded with his eyes almost brimming with tears, "No, it's just that I really can't bear the thought of my father’s reaction."

"Alright then, let's go for it." Lin Zouwu put a reassuring arm around Xu Zhuoming.

Everyone bought bags and packages from the mall before heading to the underground parking lot. Xu Zhuoming was afraid that Lin Zouwu would sit beside him and switch seats with him in the city just because he wanted to drive. He really didn’t dare let a beginner like Lin Zouwu take his father's car out for a spin.

So, Lin Zouwu, Wang Weiwei, and Zhao Chunming were all crammed into the Beetle, while Su Can was placed beside Xu Zhuoming as he seemed harmless to everyone. One reason being that they didn’t know him well enough, so it would prevent any situation where he might ask for a car ride.

While sorting out the bags and packages with the others, Su Can noticed a Ford sedan leaving the underground parking lot from a side road. It was Xu Jianchuan who had just finished his business there before them. Su Can only glanced at him; they hadn’t met as planned. There really were too many people for them to coordinate properly.

After some difficulty, the girls finally sorted out whose purchases belonged to whom and went up along a slope from the parking lot, their view suddenly opening up to see the reflection of city high-rises on transparent glass facades, twisting and blending into a beautiful, vivid scene.

Exiting the mall, the girls in the car were still chatting about various topics. The Beetle followed behind them, creating an unusual sight that attracted some passersby’s attention.

Su Can felt that he couldn’t participate in the conversation between Xu Zhuoming and the ladies; Li Lan would sometimes tease him, leaving Su Can feeling helpless. Zhang Zhi Fei turned around on her leather seat to wave out of the window at the Beetle following them.

The comfort of the seats made Su Can feel drowsy, his half-closed eyes seeing the Ford driven by Xu Jianchuan ahead. The main road couldn’t turn right into this street; they would have to take an alley behind the Academy of Sciences instead.

On this quiet street surrounded by bamboo, there were only a few cars in front, including Xu Jianchuan’s Ford.

Suddenly, from the side came a black shadow speeding past. It was a Santana car that collided with the Ford ahead of it head-on.

The collision was direct and effective without any fanfare or delay.

On this quiet road lined with bamboo, an unexpected scene unfolded.

In an instant, there was a loud crash as the impact occurred. The hood of the Santana car popped open like a torn shoe.

The side of the Ford car was dented inward sharply and visibly under the massive force, scraping along the ground in a "7" shape before hitting a street tree forcefully. Glass windows shattered and splattered from the visible changes. A light smoke rose up into the air.

Some cars on the road honked their alarms while people in nearby shops rushed out in shock.

Su Can’s heart stopped for an instant at this scene.

Xu Zhuoming suddenly braked hard, and the Beetle behind him nearly rear-ended his car.

Everyone inside the car froze with wide-eyed expressions, staring at the "accident" happening right before them.

The figure in the Ford moved slightly, as if struggling.

The Santana that had stalled after the collision suddenly restarted and backed up twice. Was it trying to escape Everyone's hearts were pounding in their throats.

It wasn't an attempt to flee.

The Santana retreated five meters, then abruptly accelerated and crashed into the Ford again!

Bam! Another loud sound.

Everyone finally realized this wasn’t a traffic accident but a murder. A cold-blooded human act of murder was unfolding right before their eyes in reality.

"Too monstrous, too monstrous." Xu Zhuoming inside the car was trembling with fear; even passersby were stunned into temporary paralysis.

The Santana in everyone’s field of vision began to move again: backing up, turning, coldly and methodically preparing for its final act—escape.

"He hit someone! He's trying to get away!" A girl in the back seat screamed shrilly. Was it Zhang Zhifei, Lin Luoran, or Li Lan

Su Can no longer cared about identifying her; he just said, "Don't let him escape."

"Stop him! Stop him! What on earth is going on" Xu Zhuoming was so panicked that his mind went blank. He had no idea what to do.

Su Can quickly composed himself and uttered two words: “Hit him!” When he said this, he felt a momentary pause in his heartbeat.

The rest of the people in the car’s hearts skipped beats simultaneously as they echoed in unison with an almost otherworldly tone, "H-Hit… Him!"

"Hold the steering wheel tight!" Su Can barked sharply.

Startled, Xu Zhuoming could only follow orders. At this moment, Su Can had already shifted his leg over and pressed down hard on Xu’s right foot that was stepping on the gas pedal.

In a piercing scream, the BMW lurched into action!

The bulky vehicle accelerated at an astonishing rate of 0 to 100 km/h in just seven seconds, shooting out like an arrow released from its bow.

God shouldn't only bless Argentina at this moment.
