Chapter 56 My family has one car...
Jiang Huiyuan hasn't stopped eating since the first bite.
She kept adding bowl after bowl of rice, and the sauce from the spicy stir-fried rice cakes smeared on the corners of her mouth, but she didn't bother to wipe it off. She just licked her lips and continued to shovel rice into her mouth.
"I told you not to go there, it's a waste of money and you won't even get enough to eat." Li Yuan raised an eyebrow as he watched Jiang Huiyuan showing off her rice.
She was the one who suggested going out for Western food, and now she's showing off faster than anyone else.
"I've never tried that restaurant before!" Jiang Huiyuan finally managed to swallow the food in her mouth, almost choking in her haste.
Luckily, Ahn Yoo-jin reacted quickly and handed her a glass of cola.
Jiang Huiyuan took it and gulped down several mouthfuls, finally managing to catch his breath.
"Cough cough cough!" He choked because he drank too fast, and two tears came out when he coughed them up.
"Slow down, you're like a starving ghost reincarnated." Li Yuan picked up a piece of rice cake and put it in his mouth.
When you're hungry for a long time, even Korean food that you usually think is just average tastes delicious.
However, this spicy stir-fried rice cake is really delicious. I'll learn how to make it at home sometime.
"What are Oppa's plans for tomorrow?" Ahn Yu-jin put down her chopsticks, her eyes darting around.
Li Yuan was very familiar with that expression; she always looked like that whenever she was plotting something bad.
"I'm busy." Li Yuan cut her off abruptly. "Tomorrow I'm going to buy a car with... I'm going to buy a car."
"Buy a car?" the four asked in unison.
"What's wrong? Why are you all so surprised that I bought a car?" Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable under their stares, and his chopsticks paused in his hand.
"No wonder Oppa said he didn't have any money. What do you want to buy?" Kang Hye-won asked. "Genesis, BMW, Mercedes, or Porsche?"
Li Yuan was somewhat exasperated by the brands she mentioned.
Apart from Genesis, which is a South Korean luxury brand, the others are all international brands. Where did Li Yuan get so much money to buy them?
We can't pay in installments.
"I just need a car that can carry people," Li Yuan shrugged. "I don't have high requirements. As long as it can be driven, can carry things, and doesn't break down too often, that's fine."
Most of my money is in assets like stocks; I don't actually have much cash.
I don't actually have much cash on hand. The copyright royalties for those songs haven't been settled this month, and the next settlement won't be until October.
So when it comes to buying a car, the budget is really limited.
"I have a car at home..." Jiang Huiyuan's eyes lit up.
"Stop!" Li Yuan interrupted her directly, tapping his chopsticks in the air. "Our relationship is good, but it's not to the point where you're giving away your things. What kind of talk is that?"
"What are you thinking? It's just a temporary arrangement," Jiang Huiyuan said, pursing her lips. "Besides, relationships can be cultivated..."
Ahn Yoo-jin, who was happily eating her meal, instantly switched to a fighting expression after hearing this.
In the end, Jiang Huiyuan's car was not "given away".
A borrowed car is definitely not as comfortable to drive as a car you own.
Moreover, Li Yuan's driving skills are actually not very good. If he gets bumped or dented, the repair costs might be more expensive than buying a new car himself.
After dinner, they went to browse through some small shops.
They had just moved into their new dormitory, which was completely empty, with bare walls. They had come out to buy some things to decorate it.
The day was mostly spent in various shops.
Li Yuan was feeling a bit tired, but the four girls were still in high spirits, as if they didn't feel tired at all.
Even when Li Yuan said goodbye to them, they looked regretful, as if they hadn't had enough of sightseeing.
"Let's go out together again next time!" Ahn Yoo-jin stood downstairs at the dormitory building, waving at him, her ponytail swaying gently in the evening breeze.
"I'll definitely do it next time." Li Yuan nodded, but in his heart he was thinking of a different answer.
……
"So Oppa went and emptied the mall?" When Hwang Ye-ji came home that night, she was stunned to see the shopping bags and boxes all over the house.
"No, these are all... daily necessities..." Li Yuan didn't know what else to say.
"A curling iron is a household item?" Hwang Li-ji picked up one of the items. "'Negative ion curling iron, creating natural and voluminous curls,' I don't think Oppa's hair needs this, right?"
"This is An Youzhen," Li Yuan said casually.
Then he noticed that Hwang Li-chi's eyes were fixed on him.
"Isn't today Ahn Yoo-jin's birthday?" Lee Won knew that if she didn't explain, she would probably be upset for a long time. "I just said I would be staying here for a long time, so they said they would buy some daily necessities..."
"Them?" Huang Lizhi, good at grasping the key points, narrowed his eyes slightly.
"And there's Yuanying, Yaya, and Huiyuan." Li Yuan didn't hide anything. "They just formed a group, and their dorms are completely empty, so they thought they'd go shopping and buy some things to decorate."
"Oh~" Huang Lizhi drawled out the last syllable, his face expressionless.
She told herself: These are all normal social activities for Oppa, it's nothing.
He has many friends and knows many people, so isn't it normal for him to go shopping with a friend for their birthday?
The more she thought about it, the higher her little mouth pouted.
"...They kept buying more and more things, and I didn't have that much money left," Li Yuan explained. "Then Hui Yuan said, 'Then just swipe my card,' and that's how it happened."
"Kept..." Huang Lizhi suddenly blurted out this word for no apparent reason.
"How could it be considered being kept?" Li Yuan said helplessly. "It's just helping each other as friends."
"Speaking of which, Oppa is going to help Hye-won unnie open a cake shop?" Hwang Ye-ji blinked and looked at Lee Won.
"Yes, it was a little bet we made earlier."
"If possible, would you open a cookie shop for me, Oppa?" Hwang Ye-ji looked at him expectantly, her fox-like eyes sparkling in the warm yellow light of the living room.
"Mm." Li Yuan nodded.
"Hehe." Huang Lizhi chuckled foolishly, as if he had received some great promise. "Let's pack these things up."
"Okay, you go ahead and get ready, I'll make something to eat."
"Yes!" Huang Lizhi nodded vigorously, and then began to sort the things on the ground according to their categories.
Looking back at Li Yuan, who was busy in the kitchen, Huang Lizhi suddenly felt that the scene looked like that of a newlywed couple who had just moved into a new house.
The husband is cooking, the wife is doing housework, and then the two of them sit together to eat and wash up...
Thinking of certain things, Hwang Ye-ji's face flushed red.
"What are you daydreaming about? Time to eat." Li Yuan's words brought her back to reality.
"I wasn't thinking about anything!" Huang Lizhi suddenly shouted back, his voice so loud that it startled Li Yuan, who was serving the dishes.
He steadied his hand and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong with this child? She's acting strangely."
Huang Lizhi did not answer. She lowered her head and walked quickly to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down, burying her face very low.
How could I tell Oppa about the things I'm thinking?
