Chapter 752

In the parking spot at the corner of the residential complex's wall, inside a white BMW 7 Series, Xu Youyu was kneeling and sprawled helplessly across the back seat.

Li Luo knelt behind her, still maintaining his position, one hand gripping her slender waist, the other brushing her back—already drenched in sweat.

"Youyu Sister, haven't you gone for a single morning run since National Day? Your stamina still isn't great." Li Luo turned her toward him, pulling her into his lap with a gentle grip on her waist, teasing with a grin.

"It's all your fault…" Xu Youyu leaned against Li Luo's chest, still breathing lightly, not yet fully returned from the lingering afterglow.

Her disheveled strands of hair spilled over half her face, concealing it, while the other half still glowed with a fading flush.

Xu Youyu's eyelids fluttered half-closed, her expression a mix of wistfulness and bewilderment, tinged with lingering aftertaste and immersion.

Only when Li Luo's wandering hands grew restless again did Xu Youyu snap back to reality, quickly grabbing his mischievous hand: "You—you stop it…"

"We haven't finished reviewing the in-car scene yet," Li Luo whispered close to her ear, "You've highlighted several chapters we haven't tried yet."

"Let's do it next time…" Xu Youyu pleaded softly, "I'm completely exhausted, and I'm covered in sweat—I want to go home and shower, and…"

"And what?"

"I only brought one," Xu Youyu whispered into his ear, "Xixi's box is almost empty."

"Huh?" Li Luo paused, startled at the end, "Didn't you buy the big box? Forty or fifty of them?"

"Plus twelve free ones," Xu Youyu huffed, giving him a side-eye, "Original pack had forty-eight, total sixty."

"How many are left?"

"About ten," Xu Youyu thought back, "I'm thinking of buying another box to secretly restock Xixi's."

"Cough…" Li Luo struggled to keep his composure, then couldn't help asking, "Do we really use this many?"

"Where didn't we?" Xu Youyu rolled her eyes, "During summer vacation, July and August—we used over twenty. Since school started, another two months, another ten or so—not much, right?"

"Really?" Li Luo sifted through his memory palace.

In his recollection, with Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi around, opportunities for him and Xu Youyu to be alone were rare.

Even during summer, they only had one every few days.

But after searching his memory palace, Li Luo understood the issue.

Mainly, in the first month, he'd been insatiable—though they only met every few days, each session consumed two or three.

Only recently, after adapting to the intensity, did sessions grow longer, and after secretly replaying Xu Youyu's sensitive points in his memory palace, he could now make her cry out and beg for mercy with just one unit consumed.

"Let's head upstairs first," Xu Youyu said, pulling a pack of tissues from the front seat, wiping herself and Li Luo clean, then drying the wet seat, muttering, "We'll need to wash the car."

"All your victories," Li Luo chuckled.

"It's all your fault," Xu Youyu huffed, giving him a light kick, then added, "Have you been secretly learning some new technique? I never used to be this sensitive."

"Cough…" Li Luo coughed awkwardly, feeling guilty, "Maybe it's because we're in the car."

He couldn't possibly admit he used his memory palace for that.

That would be too embarrassing to say aloud.

Xu Youyu eyed him suspiciously but couldn't pinpoint why, so she let it drop.

After tidying themselves in the car, they finally stepped out of the swaying BMW.

Linking arms as they walked toward the elevator, Xu Youyu turned her eyes, remembering something else, and cooed playfully at Li Luo: "Bro~ About that stock trading thing I mentioned last time—can you reconsider?"

"Still asking?" Li Luo glanced at her, pressed the elevator button, then pulled her inside, laughing, "Didn't I already say no?"

"Just let me hold your money—I'll settle your returns monthly."

"Or follow my instructions exactly: buy what I buy, sell when I say sell."

"No way~" Xu Youyu tugged his arm, "That's boring—stock trading's only fun if you do it yourself. Teach me, please?"

"Fine, I'll teach you one thing," Li Luo reluctantly nodded. When the elevator reached the 15th floor, he brought Xu Youyu home and led her straight into the bathroom to shower.

Hearing Li Luo agree, Xu Youyu was overjoyed—she hadn't expected it to go this smoothly.

She obediently followed him into the bathroom, planning to wait until she was clean and fragrant before he taught her stock trading.

But the moment the showerhead sprayed hot water, soaking her skin…

The next second, Li Luo pinned her against the wall.

"W-what are you doing?" Xu Youyu panicked, begging, "We just finished—why again?"

"Teaching you stock trading," Li Luo chuckled, "Watch closely—I'm showing you now."

Xu Youyu: "????"

…

On Thursday night, Xu Youyu didn't sleep at home—she slipped away in the evening, returning to her dorm to meet her adorable roommates for dinner.

With Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng not coming home, she was terrified Li Luo would spend the whole night teaching her stock trading.

She was truly afraid of him.

Watching Xu Youyu sneak off, Li Luo didn't stay home either—he returned to his dorm, joked around with his roommates, and the night passed quickly.

Then came Friday.

While attending class in the morning, Li Luo received a WeChat message from Yan Zhusheng.

【Yan Zhusheng】: The Mercedes salesperson called me—said I can pick up the car today.

【Yan Zhusheng】: Are you free this afternoon? Or we can go tomorrow.

Li Luo glanced at the message, then replied.

【Li Luo】: Afternoon's fine—I have no class. Shall I come pick you up?

【Yan Zhusheng】: No need—I'll have Xiao Wen come get me. Just wait for us on campus this afternoon.

【Li Luo】: Okay.

"Going to the gym this afternoon?" Wen Zexuan asked his roommates during break.

Bai Haoran shook his head without hesitation.

Cheng Xin hesitated slightly.

I won't go—I've got something this afternoon.

"What's Li Luo up to?" Cheng Xin asked curiously.

"What could he possibly be up to?" Wen Zexuan rolled his eyes. "Just keeping his girlfriend company, that's all—though I don't know if it's Senior Xu or Ying Chanxi."

"Cough…" Li Luo coughed, not knowing what to say.

After all, today wasn't Yu-jie or Xixi—it was a third person.

But better not mention it, lest I upset my dear roommates again.

"Then just the two of us?" Wen Zexuan slung an arm around Cheng Xin and grinned. "This time, bro, I'll take you to the gym! Pick any girl you like—I'll be your wingman." "Really?" Cheng Xin's eyes lit up at the offer.

Beside them, Li Luo asked curiously, "What about the girl you hooked up with during National Day?"

"Broken up. Broken up." Wen Zexuan waved his hand. "Too clingy. Checking up on me more often than my mom—too annoying."

"Speaking of which, I just want to vent," Cheng Xin said flatly. "She was just concerned about you, and you got annoyed? Breaking up over something like that is just… ridiculous."

"You've never dated, little chef boy, so keep quiet," Wen Zexuan chuckled. "Wait till you've had your first relationship before you give opinions."

Cheng Xin: "..."

Severely struck by Wen Zexuan's words, Cheng Xin fell silent.

Li Luo glanced at the pitiful Cheng Xin and, unusually, spoke up for him: "Checking up often isn't a problem—my Xixi checks up on me all the time too."

"Really?" Wen Zexuan asked skeptically. "Then how come she never caught you cheating on two girls?"

"You wouldn't understand," Li Luo said with an air of mystery. "Anyway, you two go to the gym this afternoon—I'm not going."

"Alright, alright," Wen Zexuan waved him off.

Cheng Xin asked curiously, "So what's Li Luo doing with his girlfriend this afternoon?"

"Picking up the car."

"Picking up the car?"

"I bought her a car," Li Luo said simply. "The 4S shop called today saying it's ready for pickup—I'm going with her."

"What kind of car?" Cheng Xin asked.

"Don't ask!" Wen Zexuan quickly clapped a hand over Cheng Xin's mouth, interrupting irritably. "Asking him something like that? You're asking for trouble."

"It's not that expensive a car," Li Luo coughed. "Just a big Benz—around a million."

"I told you not to ask…" Wen Zexuan sighed helplessly.

Cheng Xin sat stunned for a moment before slowly coming back to himself.

Though they'd long known Li Luo was rich, his everyday demeanor was so down-to-earth that they completely failed to sense any aura of wealth.

As a result, his roommates always unconsciously forgot that Li Luo was already a multi-millionaire.

Now, hearing he'd spent a million just to buy his girlfriend a car, all three roommates fell silent, unsure what to say.

"Why am I not a girl?" Cheng Xin muttered to himself.

"Even if you were a girl, Li Luo wouldn't look at you," Wen Zexuan patted Cheng Xin's shoulder reassuringly.

"Thanks a lot," Cheng Xin said flatly.

After the morning classes ended,

Li Luo received a lunch invitation from Ying Chanxi. After class, he bid his roommates farewell and met her at the designated cafeteria entrance.

Over lunch, Ying Chanxi sat beside Li Luo and asked, "Are you free this afternoon?"

"Why?"

"No reason, just asking," Ying Chanxi said. "I'm going to Aunt Yuan's studio this afternoon—want to come with me?"

"I have to go with Zhusheng to pick up the car first," Li Luo said. "They called saying it's ready today—I'll go to you after we get it?"

"Hmm… I see…" Ying Chanxi looked slightly disappointed, but nodded. "Then you two come together?"

"Yeah, we'll ride in her new car," Li Luo said. "I'll also stop by your place to check on the latest updates with TikTok."

"Okay," Ying Chanxi nodded obediently.

After discussing the afternoon plans, Li Luo's WeChat buzzed again.

He'd assumed it was Yan Zhusheng, but it was his aunt, Jian Chun.

【Jian Chun】: The teacher in my office who agreed to your parking spot request took two extra days to process it.

【Jian Chun】: I asked a few other office teachers too—managed to get you three spots total, at a thousand a month, as you requested.

Li Luo read Jian Chun's message and nodded in satisfaction.

【Li Luo】: Thanks, Auntie, you've worked hard—let me treat you to dinner this weekend.

【Jian Chun】: You say that, and I'll take you seriously.

【Li Luo】: Of course I wouldn't lie to you. You and Uncle haven't had a proper meal with me in ages.

【Jian Chun】: I won't be polite then. Send me your license plate numbers—I'll have those teachers submit the applications early.

【Li Luo】: OK.

"Who are you chatting with?" Ying Chanxi asked, watching him scroll on WeChat. "Senior Xu or Zhusheng?"

"My aunt," Li Luo said. "We were arranging parking spots for you three on campus—done now."

"Once you submit your plates, you'll be able to drive straight into campus."

"Oh?" Ying Chanxi blinked, then worried, "But won't that be too flashy? You bought me such an expensive car…"

"We didn't steal or rob—it's my own gift to you. What's wrong with that?" Li Luo pulled Ying Chanxi close and kissed her soft cheek. "If I don't set a little barrier, people will keep bothering you."

"Ew, gross!" Ying Chanxi pushed him away, wiping her face. "We're eating! Wipe your mouth first!"

Though she spoke that way, the slight upward curve of her lips refused to fade.

She was delighted—she loved it when Li Luo acted like this.

After lunch, Ying Chanxi asked again: "Should I drive you two to pick up the car? Like I did with Senior Xu yesterday?"

"No need, you go to Aunt Yuan's studio first." Li Luo patted her shoulder and checked his phone again. "Zhusheng has already sent Xiao Wen to pick us up."

"Oh." Ying Chanxi nodded and parted from Li Luo at the cafeteria entrance. "Then I'll go first."

"Mm, bye."

"See you this afternoon," Ying Chanxi said, then rose onto her toes and kissed Li Luo on the lips. She stepped back two paces, smiled sweetly, waved at him, and turned away.

Li Luo pressed his lips together, watching Ying Chanxi's retreating figure, a smile spreading across his face, when he received a WeChat message from Yan Zhusheng.

【Yan Zhusheng】: West gate. We're almost there.

【Li Luo】: Coming.

After replying, Li Luo strolled toward the west gate. As he reached the campus entrance, he saw a white Land Rover pull over to the roadside.

Yan Zhusheng, sitting in the back seat, rolled down the window and waved at Li Luo. He walked over and got into the back seat.

"Huh?" After sitting down, Li Luo glanced forward and realized someone was in the front passenger seat. "Aunt Yuan, you're here too?"
