"How about this car model?" Gu Hai asked.

A luxurious SUV was displayed in front of Bai Luo Yin. It was the Land Rover Discovery 3 model that had just come out not too long ago.

Bai Luo Yin responded to the question with one of his own. "Why did you rent such an expensive car?"

"What do you mean rent?" Gu Hai leaned against the car door as his healthy and bright face concealed a small cunning smile. "This is brand new. I bought it."

These words caused Bai Luo Yin to narrow his eyes slightly at Gu Hai. He examined the lines of his face in search of any sign of mischievous deeds. "Bought it? Where did you get the money for it?"

The unspoken implication behind his words were, 'I thought you fucking handed over all your money to me already? How did you manage to hide away a stash of it? Tell me the truth now!'

"Do you still remember that red diamond necklace? I sold it." An air of satisfaction shrouded the atmosphere around them as Gu Hai proudly looked at Bai Luo Yin, as if what he had done was something phenomenal.

"When did you sell it? How come I didn't know anything about it?" As Gu Hai's gaze remained on him, Bai Luo Yin realized that the person in front of him had become even more deceitful.

"When we were still in Beijing, that person contacted me, he was interested in buying it. At that time, I just dismissed the idea, but two days ago, he called me again. And when he did, I thought there was a chance we might need an SUV, and it was better to just hand over the necklace to him. In any case, it's useless in my hands and honestly, what if I lose it one day? The money would've blindly been lost too!"

Thick beads of sweat formed chaotically around Bai Luo Yin's forehead the moment he heard those words, "Fortunately we didn't bring the property deed with us!"

"Doesn't it also cost a lot of money to rent a car? Since we're not using it just this one time, it's better to just buy one. After our university entrance exams are over, what are we going to do with all our time, huh? There are still many places we can travel to!"

At those words, an insincere smile flattened still on Bai Luo Yin's lips, "If we keep on spending our days like this, will there still be any exams left for us to take?"

"Why are you thinking so far ahead? There's still three more months to go. Come on, let's go, go, go! Get in the car first. We have to leave now, otherwise it'll be dark by the time we're out of this province."

Bai Luo Yin did not move. Instead, he stared at Gu Hai with a set of calm and expressionless eyes

The corner of Gu Hai's lips pulled back. His whole body stiffened for a moment, then as if struck by some unknown force, he loosened up. His head dropped slowly as his hand slithered down the side-pockets of his pants. He felt around until his fingers made contact with the slightly cold surface of a metallic card. As if part of a picturesque slow motion scene in a film, he reluctantly passed it over to Bai Luo Yin.

"The rest of the money from selling the necklace are all in there."

This time, the corner of Bai Luo Yin's lips hooked into a curve instead, "Get in the car!"

With that, the palms of their hands rose into the air and smack roughly against each other. HIGH FIVE!!!

The new car is ready to get a taste of the road on this journey.
