Chapter 438: Chapter 214: Maybach S680 2
’I feel like such a scumbag, loving the new and tossing the old.’
Lin Shen chuckled at his own joke. After driving home, he parked the three cars and took a "family portrait" of them all together.
Just then, a message came in from Jiang Wan.
[Jiang Wan: I’m finally done with all the back-to-school craziness! How have you been? I see your Shennan Pet Society is doing pretty well.]
[Lin Shen: You went there?]
[Jiang Wan: I didn’t, but my friend did. She couldn’t stop praising the cats at your Cat Cafe! She said they’re the best cats ever! Super affectionate! She even wanted to take one home.]
[Lin Shen: We’ll have a new batch of kittens available soon. Your friend can come by and pick one out. I’ll give her one for free.]
[Jiang Wan: Really? We’ll definitely come and support you! But you don’t have to give it for free.]
[Jiang Wan: By the way, Qingqing finally finished her military training today. There’s a talent show tonight, and she’s performing a solo. Want to come and watch? (smirks)]
[Lin Shen: Can an outsider like me even get in?]
[Jiang Wan: Who do you think I am? I can sneak you in. You’re young enough to pass for a student, no one will notice.]
[Lin Shen: Alright. What time?]
[Jiang Wan: It starts at 7:00. Come around 6-ish, and I’ll give you a tour of the campus.]
[Lin Shen: Okay.]
’Qingqing’s performance, huh...’
Lin Shen found himself looking forward to it.
He never expected that Gu Wanqing could sing!
’Doesn’t she have an accent?’
’It’s hard to imagine what her singing would sound like...’
’Don’t tell me she’s tone-deaf?’
Lin Shen smiled knowingly. He opened the trunk of his Maybach S680, grabbed several gift boxes, and headed for the elevator.
He kept looking back at his beloved cars, thinking to himself.
’If I’m going to campus, the Ferrari SF90 would be the best for showing off.’
’But I’m not going there to pick up girls this time.’
So, Lin Shen decided to take his newly acquired Maybach S680 to Shanghai International Studies University.
—
「5:00 PM.」
A two-tone black and white Maybach S680 slowly pulled up to the west gate of Shanghai International Studies University.
The students entering and exiting the campus through the side gate all turned to stare in amazement.
On a university campus, a luxury car tends to turn far more heads than it would out on the street.
All the staring made Lin Shen a little self-conscious. He quickly rolled down his window and gave the security guard at the gate a smiling nod.
"Thanks for your hard work. Here’s my..."
Before Lin Shen could finish, the barrier in front of his car lifted.
Then, two guards stood ramrod straight and even saluted.
"Please, go right ahead!"
Huh?
Lin Shen was genuinely surprised at how easily they let him through.
’I even registered for a campus visit on the official website. You’re not even going to check my info?’
’So this is the power of a Maybach...’
Lin Shen smiled. This just made things easier for him.
Without hesitating, he drove onto the campus.
After watching the Maybach’s taillights disappear around a corner, one of the two guards asked curiously.
"Old Chen, why didn’t you check if he had a registration? What if he’s not affiliated with the university?"
"Are you crazy? He’s driving a Maybach! You think I’d dare stop him? What if he’s a relative of one of the university leaders? Don’t forget, today is the last day of military training for the freshmen, and there’s a performance at the grand auditorium. It’s better to just turn a blind eye."
"I’ve learned my lesson! You really know how the world works, Old Chen!"
...
Lin Shen took a lap around the Shanghai International Studies University campus, thoroughly enjoying the admiring and appreciative gazes of the college students.
There was nothing more satisfying than seeing the car he bought get so much approval.
Eventually, Lin Shen parked in a lot near the administration building.
After getting out of the car, he headed straight for the 13th floor of the administration building.
To avoid suspicion, Lin Shen had deliberately styled his hair in a fresh, textured fringe. Combined with his light-colored casual outfit, his overall style was youthful and handsome, making him genuinely look like a student.
As a result, the teachers who passed him by didn’t question his presence.
And so, Lin Shen walked openly up to the door of Office 1376.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—!
"Come in."
After getting permission, Lin Shen pushed the door open and immediately spotted Jiang Wan not far away.
She was sitting at her desk, engrossed in her computer screen, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings.
Seeing this, Lin Shen smiled knowingly.
A teacher near the door asked curiously.
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
"I’m looking for Counselor Jiang Wan."
"Oh, looking for Jiang Wan? She’s right over there."
Seeing the teacher point the way, Lin Shen nodded in thanks, then quietly snuck over. He gently placed his hands on Jiang Wan’s shoulders, leaned down to her ear, and chuckled softly.
"Counselor, what are you up to?"
"Ah!"
Jiang Wan jumped, startled. Even the great treasures on her chest trembled up and down.
She spun around in alarm. When she saw Lin Shen’s mischievous grin, she gave his chest a light, flustered punch.
"Why are you here so early? You could’ve given me a heads-up!"
"I wanted to give my dear counselor a surprise."
Lin Shen chuckled, leaning down to look at her computer screen. He saw that Jiang Wan wasn’t doing her actual work, but writing a screenplay.
"So, even counselors slack off at work, huh?"
Lin Shen’s teasing made Jiang Wan blush. She quickly closed the document so he couldn’t see.
This only made him more curious.
"How’s the writing coming along?"
"I’m just doing the final touches. I should be able to give you the script by tomorrow."
Jiang Wan gazed at Lin Shen with a sweet smile.
"So? When are you free to film it?"
"Anytime."
Lin Shen’s answer made Jiang Wan’s face light up with joy.
"Then let’s do it this weekend. I happen to be free. How does that sound?"
"Okay."
Seeing how close Jiang Wan and Lin Shen were, the others in the office found it strange. Their relationship didn’t seem like that of a typical student and counselor—they were more like a couple!
’Is Jiang Wan in a relationship?’
The other teachers in the office shot curious glances at Jiang Wan, then carefully sized up Lin Shen, who was chatting casually with her.
He was handsome and sharp-featured, with a tall and robust build.
Standing next to Jiang Wan, they were a good match in terms of looks, and their heights were compatible too.
But no matter how you looked at him, he looked like a student!
And the university has an explicit rule: counselors are forbidden from dating students!
Even someone as famous at Shanghai International Studies University as Jiang Wan probably couldn’t break that ironclad rule.
Perhaps sensing the growing number of strange looks from her colleagues, Jiang Wan’s beautiful eyes darted around before she whispered.
"Let’s go. It’s not convenient to talk here."
"Okay."
So after Jiang Wan tidied up her desk, the two of them left side-by-side and took the elevator downstairs.
Once she was gone, the teachers in the office immediately gathered to gossip.
"Was that student looking for Jiang Wan from our English department? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him."
"I haven’t either. He’s probably from another department. He’s pretty handsome, you think he’s a freshman?"
"It’s possible. After all, if he were an upperclassman, he’d probably already be famous on campus with looks like that."
"Did you guys notice that his relationship with Jiang Wan seems unusual?"
"I saw it! They look like a couple, or at the very least, they’re in that ambiguous dating stage!"
"Is that so strange? Ever since her TikTok account took off, she’s become the most famous person at Shanghai International Studies University! She already had a lot of guys chasing her, and now there’s an endless line. It makes sense she’d pick a handsome one from the crowd to be her boyfriend."
"Tsk, tsk! But who knows if that handsome guy is one of her students. If she’s breaking the rules..."
"Go ahead and snitch then. I’m on Jiang Wan’s side, anyway."
"I’m not that shameless."
...
Jiang Wan, of course, couldn’t hear her colleagues’ discussion.
After following Lin Shen downstairs, her heart was completely filled with the happiness of seeing the man she loved.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
The last time they had seen each other was during Gu Wanqing’s freshman enrollment.
Now, after ten days apart, Jiang Wan’s longing for Lin Shen had built up to the point of overflowing. An incredible light sparkled in her beautiful eyes as she gazed at him.
"Where did you park your car?"
Car?
Lin Shen looked momentarily stunned, then pointed to the nearby parking lot.
"We don’t need to drive, do we? It’s not far, and we can walk there while touring the campus. Wouldn’t that be nice?"
"That’s not what I meant. I mean, it’s still early..."
When no one was around, Jiang Wan stood on her tiptoes and murmured in Lin Shen’s ear.
"How about we find a deserted spot... and kiss?"
