After Xu Jialu stood up, he quickly touched his face as he said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Don’t worry. Fortunately, I’m a naturally handsome guy. Although I fell, I still look quite cool.”

Xu Youyou felt even more embarrassed when she heard this. She braced herself and supported him. She mustered up the last shred of their sibling love before she asked, “Brother, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Xu Jialu said as he waved his hand, pretending to look unaffected, “It’s my fault for having a bad memory. I forgot that I have very long legs. What a nice problem to have, huh?”

Xu Youyou: “...”

‘You don’t have to say anything. The more you say, the more awkward and embarrassing it becomes!’

Mo Shenbai, who had been quietly watching the show, smiled faintly at this moment and said, “I’ll take my leave first.”

When Mo Shenbai’s gaze swept past Xu Jialu, his expression seemed to say ‘I don’t want to bother with you anymore’.

Xu Jialu frowned and said unhappily, “What’s with your expression? Are you laughing at me?”

Mo Shenbai did not waste his time answering such a question. He bent down and got into the black car.

Xu Jialu turned to look at Xu Youyou and asked, “He was laughing at me, right? What’s so funny? He’s just jealous I bought a new car!”

Xu Youyou’s lips twitched. ‘He’s richer than you, okay?’

Outwardly, she tugged on her brother’s sleeve and asked, “Brother, when did you get a new car?”

“Just recently,” Xu Jialu said proudly as he raised his chin.

......

“Where did you get so much money?” Xu Youyou asked. Following that, her eyes widened as she continued to ask, “Brother, did you steal money from Mom and Dad? If Dad finds out, he’s going to break your legs!”

Xu Jialu poked her forehead gently and said, “What nonsense are you thinking? My annual salary is more than a million. It’s just a sports car; it’s no big deal.”

“Oh, then why do you still ask me for money?” Xu Youyou glanced at Xu Jialu, thinking that he must have spent all his savings on the car.

Xu Jialu smiled sheepishly. He placed his arm around her shoulders as he hastily changed the topic. “Let’s go. I’ll send you to the university.”

Xu Youyou moved her brother’s arm away before she said hesitantly, “I’ll ask the driver to drive me there. This is… too ostentatious.”

“How’s it ostentatious?” Xu Jialu asked as he gently pushed Xu Youyou into the car. Then, he said, “Let Brother show you what speed and passion mean!”

Xu Youyou: “...”

‘Thank you, but there’s no need for that!’

…

Half an hour later, the orange sports car came to a stop outside of Mo City University.

Xu Youyou, who felt as though she had died earlier, hurriedly scrambled out of the car. “Bye, Brother!”

“Why are you in such a hurry? Don’t forget your things!” Xu Jialu carried her bag out of the car.

Xu Youyou turned around and took the bag from him when she heard him say, “I’ll pick you up after your classes are over.”

She hurriedly said, “No need, no need.”

Xu Jialu frowned. He was about to teach his sister a lesson when he heard someone say exaggeratedly from the side, “Wow, Xu Jialu! Did you rob a bank?”

Xu Jialu looked at Su Lanxu, who was walking over, and retorted, “You’re the one who robbed a bank! Can’t you talk properly?”

Su Lanxu pursed her lips before she asked Xu Youyou, “Youyou, are you okay? How’s your injury?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Youyou nodded. “I’m okay. It’s fine.”

Xu Jialu put on his sunglasses again. His entire person was radiating a pretentious aura as he said, “Alright, I’ll leave my Youyou to you now. Bye!”

“Alright, I won’t see you off,” Su Lanxu said. She did not even bother to spare him a glance, afraid that his pretentious act would blind her.

Xu Jialu reached out to pat Xu Youyou’s head before he left in his car.

Su Lanxu watched as the flamboyant young man drove away and said mockingly, “He’s really too pretentious and ostentatious!”

Now that Xu Jialu had left, Xu Youyou heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, Then, she turned to Su Lanxu and asked, “Didn’t you like him before?”
