Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 527: Chapter 197: Return to School, Sensation_2

During the waiting period, Zhang Beixing wasn’t idle; he constantly observed the surroundings, confirming over and over that no one was spying on him.

During this time, Lin Siqi drove her car over.

Seeing Lin Siqi get out of the BMW, Zhang Beixing couldn’t help but tease her, ”Yo, Sister Qi, you’ve really become a wealthy lady now, driving a BMW and everything.”

Lin Siqi didn’t deny it. ”It’s alright. After getting the right connections and resources, making money has been quite simple. Give me another two or three months, and I should be able to buy one for my mom too! How about you? I’ll buy one for you as well.”

This was no boast; Lin Siqi genuinely had the capability. Previously, when she set up a stall at Shi University, she could make about ten or twenty thousand a month. Now that she had started working at Xinman Tower, the scale of her business had expanded, and she naturally earned more.

”You really are amazing!” Zhang Beixing exclaimed. He noted that Lin Siqi’s business acumen was truly remarkable.

”That’s right,” Lin Siqi hummed in agreement. Then, as if an idea struck her, she looked at Zhang Beixing with a playful expression, reached out, and slightly tilted his chin up. ”Beixing, I remember you said in the first half of last year that you wanted me to provide for you, right? Now that your sister has money, how about it? Want to live off my ’soft rice’?”

Good heavens! Seriously, good heavens!

Seeing Lin Siqi’s provocative demeanor, Zhang Beixing inwardly exclaimed, Holy crap! Where did this little minx learn to be so bold?

Being a kept man... If he, Zhang Beixing, hadn’t yet become a Grandmaster, he might have genuinely considered it. After all, the ’soft rice’ Lin Siqi offered was exceptionally tempting; she was attractive and well-off.

But now, Zhang Beixing had broken through to Grandmaster. Not only that, he had even, in one fell swoop, surpassed the Great Grandmasters and reached the unprecedented Hidden Essence Realm. It wasn’t that money became meaningless to Zhang Beixing after reaching the Hidden Essence Realm; he just wasn’t as desperate for it anymore. As an Extraordinary Martial Artist of the Hidden Essence Realm and the President of the Great Xia Martial Arts Association, earning hundreds of thousands within the Great Xia Realm, if he wished, was as easy as eating and drinking.

Thus, when faced with Lin Siqi’s offer to provide for him... Well, he felt rather unfazed.

Seeing Zhang Beixing remain silent for a long time, Lin Siqi roughly guessed the situation and didn’t press the issue further.

Changing the subject, she said, ”Speaking of which, Lao Zhang, I haven’t really explored the tourist spots in Shishi since I arrived. You’re a local; do you know any fun places here?”

This question was intended to lighten the mood. Unexpectedly, after she spoke, the atmosphere became even quieter. The reason lay in Lin Siqi’s mention of ’tourist spots.’ This really stumped Zhang Beixing.

Even though Zhang Beixing had grown up in Shishi, if you asked him about its tourist spots, he genuinely wouldn’t know what to say. What could he mention? Should he talk about the high school featured in ’The Indestructible People of Shishi’? Or the large smokestack that operated 365 days a year, only stopping during the national holidays? Or perhaps the Beiguo Great Wall, where thousands gathered on New Year’s Day to release balloons? These were all too abstract!

”How about we go back to talking about you providing for me?” Zhang Beixing looked at Lin Siqi and asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Lin Siqi’s mouth twitched. Great, we’re back to square one. A complete loop.

”Then let’s just wander around. I’m free today anyway. You drive,” Lin Siqi said, tossing her car keys to Zhang Beixing. She indicated that anywhere was fine, as long as they didn’t revisit the earlier topic; Zhang Beixing could decide where to go.

”Alright.” Zhang Beixing took the keys, got in the car, stepped on the gas, and started aimlessly wandering around Shishi with Lin Siqi.

This strolling lasted from afternoon until evening. During this time, Zhang Beixing and Lin Siqi talked a lot, practically catching up on everything they hadn’t said to each other in months. The car, almost unconsciously, drove out of the city and arrived near Hidden Dragon Cave, where Zhang Beixing had previously gone skydiving. As for why they ended up there, perhaps it was because the area was less crowded, or maybe because it was remote enough, or for some other reason.

Anyway, when they left the next morning, a trail of footprints was visible on the snowy ground where they had parked. Additionally, four handprints had appeared on the front hood of the car.

Sitting in the back of the car, wrapped in a thick coat, Lin Siqi wiped at the traces left on the corners of her mouth from natural drying with a wet wipe. ”Don’t ever do this again!” she said, quite annoyed. This seemed to be the second time she had said this.

Hearing her, Zhang Beixing, who was driving, chuckled. ”Next time for sure!”

Lin Siqi was flabbergasted. ”Hey, no, you little rascal, you...”

”Hey, hey, Sister Qi, hold on, don’t mess around, I’m driving!”

”...”

They bickered all the way back to Shishi. Lin Siqi dropped Zhang Beixing off at his home. Zhang Beixing had thought about inviting Lin Siqi in, but she declined, saying that she had partied wildly with him last night, and with her clothes disheveled, it wouldn’t look good for her to meet anyone in that state. Maybe another time.

Zhang Beixing didn’t insist, merely expressing his regret about it. After watching Lin Siqi drive away, he returned home.
