Chapter 243 - 156: Give Him a Box

Chapter 243: Chapter 156: Give Him a Box

From a distance, they saw an Audi A6 approaching. A few of the girls waiting for a cab couldn’t help but start gossiping.

"Sigh, I wonder who landed a rich boyfriend this time. Some people really have all the luck."

"Yeah, here we are struggling to get a cab, while all she has to do is get ready and walk out of her dorm."

"Don’t talk about it. Let me use your fan, I’m so hot."

Si Yingying was standing right at the school’s main gate, mainly so they could spot her easily.

Her meticulously applied foundation was already getting ruined by sweat.

She was fanning herself with her hand when she saw a brand-new A6 pull up.

Yan Xici rolled down the window, waved at her, and gave a sweet, brilliant smile.

"Yingying, get in!"

Her voice was light and cheerful, filled with an indescribable happiness.

Si Yingying froze for a second, her eyes instinctively scanning the car. It was black, brand new, and gleaming.

The sleek body told her it wasn’t cheap.

She looked at Xiao Ran inside, her face a mask of astonishment. "Jeez, Teacher Xiao, aren’t you something else?"

She only knew that Ai Qi had compensated Xiao Ran with a car, but she had no idea it was an A6.

And a brand-new one at that!

That kind of treatment was enough to make anyone green with envy.

The girls struggling to find a cab already had their attention on the car. And after Si Yingying’s comment...

...the expressions on many of their faces changed.

"Wow, it’s Teacher Xiao’s car!"

"Holy shit, I heard it too."

"He’s really the talk of the school, isn’t he? A new bombshell story every other day!"

Someone couldn’t help but remark.

"Well, it’s easy to understand. Fame brings trouble. Teacher Xiao has always been an author, and besides, Sister Mi posted those photos from the film set, and Teacher Xiao was in them!"

You have to understand, Sister Mi is an A-lister. With her starring in the adaptation of his book, how could he be short on cash?

Forget an A6, he could probably afford a Panamera!

"Holy shit, why didn’t you tell me sooner?!"

"As if you could’ve gotten with him even if I had told you!"

...

Without a moment’s hesitation, Si Yingying pulled open the car door and slid in.

Almost instantly, a comfortable stream of cool air from the A/C washed over her, and she felt her whole body relax.

"Thank you so much, Teacher Xiao. In this weather, taking the bus would have been real torture!"

Then she couldn’t help but glance at Yan Xici in the front seat. "By the way, where are we going?"

"The malls over in Xujiahui."

’First we’ll try Huijin Department Store, then Dongfang Shopping Mall. If all else fails, there’s still Ganghui Plaza. There’s no way I won’t be able to find a suitable gift!’

...

The car drove over the elevated highway and, half an hour later, finally arrived at Dongfang Shopping Mall.

Xiao Ran parked in the underground garage, pulled the handbrake, and then looked at Yan Xici beside him. "Go on. I’ll wait for you two in the car. I can catch up on some sleep."

Hearing this, the girl looked surprised. "Didn’t you rest at noon?"

To her, the best kind of rest was simply cuddling in his arms, acting cute, and chatting with him.

But for him, that wasn’t the case.

Xiao Ran licked his lips. "Weren’t we ’chatting’ at noon?"

"But we were lying in bed!"

Hearing this, Si Yingying, in the back, let out a soft cough. "Is this really something I get to hear for free?"

’This Yan Xici,’ she thought, ’she really has no filter. Good thing it was me in the car today. If it had been someone else, what would have happened? I’d bet my life they’d laugh at her.’

At these words, Yan Xici’s eyelid twitched and she hurriedly explained.

"No, it’s not what you’re thinking."

’My intuition is telling me she’s definitely got the wrong idea!’

Si Yingying waved a hand, looking like she understood everything. "It’s not important. Since Teacher Xiao wants to rest, you should let him get some proper rest. He’s been ’tired out’ all afternoon, so he definitely needs a break."

With that, she opened the car door and got out first.

Seeing this, Yan Xici had no choice but to say goodbye to Xiao Ran and get out of the car herself.

The two girls headed toward the elevators.

"By the way, Yingying, let me ask you something. I want to get Brother Xiao Ran a gift. What do you think I should get?"

It was the first time she’d ever had this much money, so she couldn’t resist the urge to buy Xiao Ran a gift.

Something to make him happy.

Hearing this, Si Yingying looked at her with disdain. "You already gave him yourself, and for a whole afternoon at that. What else is there to give?"

’For Teacher Xiao,’ she thought, ’isn’t Yan Xici’s young, inexperienced body a great gift in itself? Does she really need to give him anything else?’

At her words, Yan Xici’s eyelid twitched and she instinctively retorted, "What are you talking about? We haven’t done it yet!"

Shyness made her little face flush red.

Even though they were best friends, hearing it put so bluntly was just too embarrassing.

"Right, right. You sleep together every day just to chat. I know."

Si Yingying said perfunctorily.

’Frankly,’ she thought, ’anyone with half a brain knows that’s a load of crap!’

"It’s true! What do you take us for? We’re not even married, how could we do something like that!"

Yan Xici argued frantically, her moist eyes filled with helplessness.

’She’s my best friend. If something had really happened, I definitely wouldn’t lie to her.’

Seeing her react this way, Si Yingying couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

"Oh my god! You two sleep together every day and Teacher Xiao doesn’t have any reaction at all?"

’His self-control is off the charts!’

Yan Xici lowered her head, looking shy. "Sometimes, I can see that he’s... really struggling..."

Then she looked at her worriedly. "You absolutely cannot tell anyone!"

"How could I?" Si Yingying almost laughed. ’As if I would go and tell other people about this.’

The elevator arrived, and the two of them got on.

Si Yingying leaned in, a mysterious look on her face, and whispered, "Let me tell you, if a man holds it in all the time, it can cause... damage."

’It’s true! All accumulated from my own experience!’

"Huh?" Yan Xici’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened!

’What is she talking about!?’

"It’s true," Si Yingying said with utter conviction. "Holding it in like that will affect your future life together. And if it’s serious, he might not even be able to have kids!"

’That’s what my last boyfriend told me. He wouldn’t have lied to me, right?’

Yan Xici felt her entire worldview crumbling. After a long moment, she took a deep breath, her face flushed beet-red.

’If that’s really true, then... then what if Brother Xiao Ran gets damaged? I... I still want to have kids!!!!’

Si Yingying crossed her arms, looking at Yan Xici with the air of a seasoned veteran.

"So, to sum up, if you really want to give him a gift, why not give him a box of... you know?"

Seeing Si Yingying’s hesitant, suggestive expression....

...Yan Xici felt her face grow involuntarily hot.

She swallowed hard.

"You know... what?"

"Condoms!" Si Yingying whispered.

"It’s the 21st century!" she added. "Let me tell you, if a man isn’t satisfied at home, he’ll go looking for it elsewhere!"

Now Yan Xici was truly panicking.

"Brother Xiao Ran... he definitely wouldn’t!!!!"

’I know what kind of person he is.’

’But... but what if he really does get damaged from holding it in? I’d feel guilty for the rest of my life! This is no joke!’
