Chapter 69: Picking Up the Car

Li Yan hesitated for a few seconds at the door of the piano room; logically, it was lunchtime, and he should eat some lunch.

But as soon as he thought of the Mercedes G63 that had just arrived at the store, he immediately threw his appetite to the back of his mind and drove directly to the 4S dealership.

When the car was driving on the road, he looked at the slightly hot sunlight in Chuan Du outside the window, but in his mind, he only thought of the two words "pick up car."

Subsequent trivial matters like license plates and tinting had to be arranged quickly, striving to get it done in one afternoon.

The driver looked at him in the rearview mirror, seemingly wanting to chat, but Li Yan was busy scrolling through his phone to book a tinting shop, so he just responded faintly a few times.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Mercedes 4S dealership, and a black, domineering car body looked tough and hard-core under the outdoor sunlight.

Li Yan walked quickly into the store; the salesperson had been waiting at the door, and seeing him come, immediately greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Li, the car is all ready. Would you like to go verify it first?"

Li Yan nodded, and after a simple greeting, he was taken to the exhibition area. The black G63 was indeed placed in the most conspicuous position, and the iconic big G headlights on the front face and the tough, square outline made one feel a sense of conquest at first glance.

Li Yan walked close to the car body, tapped the car door with his finger to feel the texture of the paint, and took a look at the interior: AMG sports steering wheel, leather seats, and the Burmester sound system that had already been upgraded.

To him, this car was both a means of transportation and a "toy" that made people happy.

After seeing that there was no problem with the car, he signed the remaining procedures straightforwardly; when the key was in his hand, the feeling was completely different.

He didn't choose a flashy car-picking ceremony; Li Yan had long communicated that everything should be simplified.

It just ended with him standing in front of the car and taking a photo.

When the salesperson handed Li Yan's phone over, Li Yan looked at the black hard-core car body in the phone.

The huge iconic headlights and the tough outline, the white simple shirt worn by the youth on the car body, and the skin that looked very fair set each other off.

Li Yan felt, hmm, quite handsome.

Casually posting on Moments, accompanied by a caption with a car emoji.

Showing off? A little.

Purely showing off? Not quite.

As the first car in his life, he didn't steal or rob; as an 18-year-old youth, what's wrong with posting on Moments?

If he didn't post on Moments, how could he make the girls on WeChat more proactive?

Li Yan never felt embarrassed; this was just the beginning; when the Ferrari SF90 was picked up, Li Yan would post again~

Subsequently, the salesperson took him to handle the procedures for the temporary license plate; Li Yan checked the documents with the staff all the way, while also using his phone to contact the tinting shop he had booked earlier.

In the face of cumbersome documents and processes, he wasn't in a hurry; he signed where he needed to sign.

After the 4S dealership issued the temporary license plate, he drove the big G directly to the tinting shop.

The black square car body shuttled on the road, and the head-turning rate didn't need to be mentioned; people in the cars next to him at red lights all had to glance at it twice; Li Yan stepped on the gas pedal lightly, listening to the low roar of the AMG engine, feeling a little bit of showing off in his heart.

The smell inside the new car wasn't very good, no matter how luxurious the car was, it was the same.

But Li Yan felt it was not bad; connecting to CarPlay, Wang Leehom's singing came from the Burmester sound system.

"Open the corner of memories, a perfect life"

"Thought happiness could be mastered~"

"Carefully savoring..."

The singing coming from the Burmester sound system, with Li Yan's left hand on the steering wheel, right hand on the center armrest, eyes looking straight ahead, corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a youthful voice flowing from his mouth.

When he arrived at the tinting shop, it was already 1:30.

He communicated with the shop owner that he wanted a "semi-matte black" tinting effect, making the car body have a matte texture in the sun, which would be cooler.

The owner gave a price, and he agreed without hesitation, directly handing the car key over, "Buddy, it must be finished today."

The other party smiled bitterly: "It's not impossible to add an express fee, but the process needs to be rushed, and time is a bit tight."

After hearing this, Li Yan took out a few hundred more, and was too lazy to talk much, because he still had to go get the official license plate in the afternoon.

He looked at the clock on the wall, put his phone back in his pocket, signaled to start quickly, and he himself looked through magazines in the shop to rest briefly.

Li Yan logged into the traffic management APP, filled in some necessary information, and started choosing the license plate.

The salesperson at the 4S dealership had asked him if he wanted to choose some special license plate numbers; Li Yan had no interest in this, and felt it didn't matter at all whether it was something like 888.

Choosing a common digital license plate, Li Yan clicked confirm without hesitation.

After finishing the tinting, Li Yan rushed to the vehicle management office, ran to the window several times, handed over various procedures, pressed fingerprints, recorded personal information, and finally squatted there waiting for the license plate.

At dusk, the new license plate was installed on the straight black spare tire cover, and Li Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Driving the car out of the gate of the vehicle management office, stopping on a small road nearby, he got out of the car to buy a drink, and the engine didn't turn off.

Li Yan lit a cigarette, stood by the roadside looking at the black Mercedes G-Class parked next to him; the brand-new car body and tough style were truly more pleasing the more he looked at it.

Taking out his phone, clicking on WeChat, looking at the 99+ Moments notifications, Li Yan clicked on them and looked casually.

"Damn! Brother Yan!!!"

The one who said "Damn" was Wang Zhen, who was still in Luzhong City at this time.

"You bought a car?"

From an ex-ex-ex-girlfriend.

"Where are you? Why don't you reply to my messages?"

From an ex-ex-girlfriend.

"Is this another car you just bought?"

From long-legged Wang Lin.

There were too many comments and likes, and Li Yan didn't reply to any of them.

Posting on Moments to show off was enough; there was no need to explain anything.

Clicking on the WeChat messages, looking at the 3 voice messages of 59 seconds each sent by Wang Zhen, Li Yan didn't even have the desire to click on them.

He just replied, "Busy, call later."

Besides Wang Zhen, his high school friend, his mother also sent a message, which was not unexpected.

Naturally, she also saw the Moments he posted about buying a car, and also sent a 59-second voice message.

Li Yan naturally had to click to listen.

There was nothing else, just asking about his recent life, mentioning the car he bought, and mentioning that his mother and father were already looking at cars recently.

Li Yan just casually sent a voice message back, planning to call his mother again at night.

And the messages below, Li Yan looked at them with dazzled eyes.

"Brother Li Yan, your car is so cool~"

"The car is so handsome! I wonder if you can take me for a ride?"

"Great post on Moments!"

Looking at most of the messages, they were all from Sichuan University freshmen who had recently added him in the QQ group, and the remarks were all uniform.

23xx Dept-168-Sweet.

23xx Dept-158-Little Lolita.

23xx Dept-164-Internet Celebrity Face.

23xx Dept-165-Milk Cow.

Li Yan uniformly replied with a smiley face emoji...

Except for the message sent by long-legged Wang Lin. ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
