Chapter 352 - 322: Isn’t Ning Ruoxi a Simpleton?
Chapter 352: Chapter 322: Isn’t Ning Ruoxi a Simpleton?
He had two main reasons for choosing this car.
First of all, Ye Ling had barely driven this car, and he was genuinely itching to take it for a spin!
Sometimes, once the novelty wears off, it doesn’t mean you can’t get it back. Try staying away for a while, and when you come back to it, you might just recapture that feeling...
Secondly, although Gao Xunnu had completely submitted by now, that guy had previously mocked Ye Ling on the campus forum. ’There’s nothing wrong with me wanting to prove a point, right?’
This was Modu, after all. Even in the university town, there was no shortage of luxury cars. Porsches and BMWs were a common sight!
However, a top-tier supercar like a Pagani was a truly rare sight.
Therefore, when such a magnificent car appeared on the street, it instantly attracted a great deal of attention.
"Holy shit, that car is awesome!"
"What kind of car is that? I’ve never seen it before..."
"I recognize the logo. I think it’s a Pagani, but I don’t know the exact model. The price must be insane, though. I’d guess twenty million!"
...
When a car like this appeared in the Modu University Town, students on the street all started talking about it.
The sight of such a car actually excited some of the boys even more than the girls.
This was their life’s ambition!
Why did they study so hard?
Giving back to society was too distant a goal. Working for the future of humanity was even more abstract. In truth, most of them were just trying to secure a better life for themselves!
And a car like this was, without a doubt, a symbol of the ultimate lifestyle...
"All these cars are so polite, keeping their distance," Ning Ruoxi remarked from the passenger seat.
"P-polite?"
Ye Ling couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, giving Ning Ruoxi a long, hard look.
’Is this girl for real? She can’t actually be this dense, can she?’
’How is that being polite?’
’Those cars are scared to get close, alright!’
Even though Ye Ling always complained about the poor driving experience in a car like the Pagani, he had to admit, its ability to attract attention was absolutely top-notch!
The entire way, practically everyone was staring in their direction!
Ye Ling found a place to park, got out of the car, and took Ning Ruoxi’s hand as they walked toward Modu University.
"Good thing this area isn’t too crowded, or we’d probably be mobbed," Ye Ling muttered under his breath.
"Hehe, you can say that again. Our Ling God is quite the celebrity at Modu University now," Ning Ruoxi teased, raising her eyebrows.
"You silly goose."
Ye Ling knew she was teasing him, of course. Playfully annoyed, he pinched her small nose and gave it a sudden tug upwards.
"Whoa!"
Ning Ruoxi let out a little yelp, her head tilting back. She quickly rose onto her tiptoes, her big eyes wide as she looked at Ye Ling. "Let go of me!"
"And what if I don’t?"
Looking at the girl who only reached his mouth on her tiptoes, Ye Ling couldn’t help but let a small smile play on his lips as he teased her.
’If nothing else, she looks pretty cute like this!’
"If you don’t, you’ll be kneeling on the washboard tonight!"
Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but clench her little fists. ’Does he think I’ve gone soft? How dare this damn man be so arrogant?’
"That harsh?"
Ye Ling rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"Hmph!"
Ning Ruoxi snorted haughtily, then gave him a goofy little eyebrow wiggle. "Scared now? Let me go!"
Ye Ling snorted, released her nose, and while she was still on her tiptoes, leaned in and planted a quick kiss on her pouting lips. SMACK.
"There, there. I know you wanted a kiss, so I gave you one," Ye Ling said before she could even open her mouth.
"You jerk!"
Ning Ruoxi clenched her fists.
’Are all men this infuriating?’
’I think I need to go find my kitchen knife. I have to hack this big lecherous mutt to pieces.’
But Ye Ling paid no mind to her murderous glare. He simply put an arm around her and continued walking toward Modu University.
Ning Ruoxi gave Ye Ling a helpless eye-roll and sighed.
’How did I end up with such a jerk for a boyfriend?’
’My life is a tragedy!’
...
Ye Ling walked Ning Ruoxi to her academic building, then turned and headed for the faculty office building.
He hadn’t come to Modu University to attend class this time, but to find Zhou Tong and apply for a course exemption.
For the man Ye Ling was now, the knowledge taught at Modu University was, frankly, useless to him.
After all, with his God-level computer skills, how many people in the entire Xia Country were even qualified to teach Ye Ling?
"Hello, Teacher Zhou."
Following his memory, Ye Ling found Zhou Tong’s office and knocked lightly on the door. He waited for a response before pushing the door open and walking in.
"Ah, it’s Ye Ling. Long time no see."
A brilliant smile spread across Zhou Tong’s face when he saw Ye Ling arrive.
"Teacher Zhou, my apologies. I’ve been swamped with other matters and haven’t been able to come to school since the semester started," Ye Ling said apologetically.
Although with his current status he had no need to be so polite to Zhou Tong, Ye Ling had never been an arrogant or overbearing person.
He respected those who deserved respect. This was his code for navigating the world, one that kept him on the side of the majority and prevented him from having to fight his battles alone.
Looking back through history, every single person who achieved great things knew how to respect others!
Disrespecting others wasn’t a reflection of one’s strength. On the contrary, it made one weak.
After all, an individual’s strength is always limited.
And if you don’t respect others, you will forever be limited to that individual strength!
After all, nobody wants to be friends with someone who is disrespectful.
"You handled that last matter very well."
Zhou Tong was not one to be stingy with his praise. He nodded at Ye Ling in approval.
Zhou Tong had some knowledge of the previous incident involving the Xia Wei Group!
Even though Ye Ling had used certain connections to conceal his identity, Zhou Tong had his own sources and knew that Ye Ling was the one responsible for everything.
"Haha, Teacher Zhou, please don’t praise me like that. I’ll get a big head."
Ye Ling cracked a joke in response to Zhou Tong’s praise.
"What you did this time is something you deserve to be proud of. In fact, it’s something all of us in Xia Country can be proud of!"
Hearing Ye Ling’s words, Zhou Tong also burst into laughter.
The reason he thought so highly of Ye Ling—aside from his top-tier computer skills and unfathomable power—was, more importantly, his artful communication style.
Ye Ling really knew how to handle people!
Take the little joke Ye Ling had just made. It seemed casual, but it was actually quite clever.
If Ye Ling had said something like, "Oh, I didn’t really do anything, it was nothing special," it would have come across as excessively modest.
After all, what Ye Ling had done was genuinely incredible!
So, Ye Ling chose to deflect with a joke, changing the subject without appearing either overly modest or arrogant.
Speaking truly is an art form sometimes!
"By the way, Teacher Zhou, I came to see you this time to apply for a course exemption. Things have been a little busy for me lately," Ye Ling said.
"No problem."
Zhou Tong agreed immediately.
If any other student had made such a request, he would have definitely had to consider it carefully.
After all, not everyone had the ability to qualify for a course exemption.
But Ye Ling was different.
First, Ye Ling’s current power was unfathomable. With numerous enterprises under his command, he was destined to become a distinguished alumnus the moment he graduated. Second, his mastery of computers was already profound, completely satisfying the conditions for an exemption.
Under these circumstances, there was no way Zhou Tong would stand in Ye Ling’s way.
Besides, he had no desire to do so.
He understood... For Ye Ling, the education at Modu University would not only fail to help him but would actually hinder his development!
Zhou Tong was eager to see just how far a young man like Ye Ling could go.
He had truly high hopes for Ye Ling!
