Since Xu Yun doesn’t need anything, let’s stop talking about work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi said, sounding a little awkward, \"Let’s talk about something else. It’s not every day we all get together to have some fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we’re talking about love, then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen asked curiously, \"Xu Yun, do you have a girlfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do. Lots of them,\" Xu Yun answered honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, no one believed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, ’lots of them’ just meant he didn’t have any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not? You’re pretty handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen said, \"Plenty of women should be into you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not a celebrity. What’s the use of being handsome?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing they didn’t believe him, Xu Yun laughed. \"Out in the real world these days, it’s all about power and connections. I guess I’m just too poor for anyone to like me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, we’re all single too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen laughed. \"I guess this is a get-together for us singletons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re all single?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun was a little surprised by that answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"With your qualities, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen explained, \"There are male teachers at school who are after me, but I don’t want to date yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Xi has always been career-focused. She’s busy with work and doesn’t have the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Zheng got his heart broken once and still hasn’t moved on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for our dear Class President, his heart belongs to someone, and he’s been waiting for a certain someone, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Jingheng glanced at Lin Xi and smiled. \"I want to, and it’s none of your business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that he liked Lin Xi was no secret among their old classmates back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Yun couldn’t help but go, ’Tsk, tsk, tsk.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t believe it. So many years have passed, and he’s worth tens of millions now, but our class president is still just as infatuated with Lin Xi as ever.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Devotion... another word for it is simp!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you, Xu Yun? Seeing our Lin Xi again, are you having the same thoughts you used to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen, ever the pot-stirrer, deliberately asked, \"You know, back in high school, you had a secret crush on our Lin Xi, just like the Class President. Don’t think we didn’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gao Wenwen, you’re talking nonsense again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xi denied it. \"Xu Yun didn’t have a crush on me back then. We were just close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A youthful crush can’t be taken seriously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfazed by Lin Xi’s denial, Xu Yun said, \"The feelings you have now, that’s what’s real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So do you like her now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi laughed. \"Our Lin Xi is single, you know. You still have a shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nah, I’d better not get mixed up in this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun shook his head. \"I’ll just be a quiet, handsome man in the corner. I won’t try to compete with our dear Class President.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As if you could actually beat me,’ Zhu Jingheng scoffed internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said mockingly, \"Xu Yun, you must be used to seeing all the beautiful women in the big city. You’ve become immune to our gorgeous Lin Xi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun shrugged. \"To be honest, I’ve seen so many beautiful women around me lately that I’m actually getting a little desensitized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" said Zhu Jingheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn, you really have the guts to say that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi and Gao Wenwen hadn’t expected Xu Yun to say something like that either, and things got a little awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most awkward person of all was Lin Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she wasn’t angry with Xu Yun. She was angry with Zhu Jingheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t provoked him, Xu Yun would never have said something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Xu Yun, the conversation came to a dead halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing left to say, they focused on climbing the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them exercised regularly, so this sudden mountain climb was a huge challenge to their stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they had been climbing for long, the two women were the first to feel exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi and Zhu Jingheng weren’t much better off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Xu Yun felt fine. He was relaxed and not the least bit tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was likely due to his recent fitness routine and practice of the Eight Pieces of Brocade, which had significantly improved his physical condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Xi, this backpack is so heavy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen complained, \"I wouldn’t have brought it if I’d known.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hang in there. I’m tired too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xi said this loud enough for Xu Yun and the others behind her to hear, as if on purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zheng Yi gestured with his chin toward Lin Xi up ahead and teased, \"Such a golden opportunity. Aren’t you going to make a move? Offer to carry her backpack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not interested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun laughed. \"If you want to, go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, I’m not going either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi said, \"I’m exhausted myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, someone will go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had barely left Xu Yun’s mouth when Zhu Jingheng, who was beside them, quickened his pace and headed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Jingheng was exhausted himself, but to show his chivalry, he braced himself after hearing Lin Xi’s words and approached her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Xi, I’m not tired. Give me your backpack. I’ll carry it for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xi: \"Okay, thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, a very envious Gao Wenwen piped up, \"Dear Class President, you’re playing favorites! How come you’re not offering to carry mine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can only carry one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Jingheng said, \"You can ask Zheng Yi or Xu Yun to help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen turned to the impassive Zheng Yi and Xu Yun and pleaded, \"You two handsome gentlemen, can you really bear to just stand there and watch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really can’t carry anything else.\" Seeing Gao Wenwen look his way, Zheng Yi quickly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Gao Wenwen’s chest tightened with frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun laughed. \"If you really can’t carry it anymore, give it to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Xu Yun, you’re so handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen’s face immediately lit up, and she came over to Xu Yun’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun took her backpack, transferring the water and snacks from it into his own pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wenwen shot Zheng Yi a disdainful look and said, \"Director Zheng, look at you, gasping for air. Then look at Xu Yun—he’s barely broken a sweat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-03T11:41:56.865Z","2026-06-03T11:42:08.162Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce65108518745e094b697a2dbe221bd4fa139844a4371a99dcc22b35b27d0063","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-254","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-252",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-cover.jpg"]
