Chapter 65: Who the hell parked their car in front of my dad’s parking spot?!

As a province with a large number of civil service exam takers, Mountain Winter Region doesn’t have much, but it does have a lot of graduate entrance exam and civil service exam preparation institutions.

Never underestimate a Mountain Winter person’s lifelong pursuit of civil service ranks, nor their yearning for higher education. For example, in the subway stations of Daocheng, the most common advertisements you’ll see are for online reading platforms and adult education programs.

On a weekend evening, around eight o’clock, during dinner time, the restaurants on the fourth floor of the mall were packed, while on the fifth floor, in the northwest corner, the entrance to this newly opened graduate entrance exam and civil service exam preparation institution also had quite a few people. As Gu Yin passed by, he saw several people standing in the corridor outside, holding books and silently reciting.

“They’re really hardworking,” Gu Yin couldn’t help but admire. To be honest, maybe because he didn’t have the intention to take the graduate entrance exam or the civil service exam, and he had always been discriminated against by the class consciousness of his elders, sometimes he had negative opinions about civil servants and those with government-affiliated jobs.

But he had to admit that everyone who successfully passed the exam was admirable.

Of course, Chen Yunjin was an exception.

Shaking his head, feeling the urgent need to urinate, Gu Yin didn’t linger, just glancing at the institution before leaving.

But…

Shortly after he left, a slightly overweight girl wearing a pure black turtleneck sweater and glasses came out of the institution’s entrance. She came to the corridor, poked her head out, and looked far away in the direction where Gu Yin had gone, scratching her head.

“Yan Hua, what’s wrong?” A girl’s voice came from inside the institution, clear and unemotional.

The bright lights at the entrance of the institution illuminated her face. It was a very beautiful and dignified face, with delicate skin and well-proportioned features. Her jet-black hair was tied up at the back of her head, elegant and dignified.

Clean jeans, a white inner layer, a light gray long woolen coat, and her slender and tall figure made her look very elegant.

“Nothing…” The girl called Yan Hua shook her head softly, “I think I saw a familiar person just now.”

“A familiar person?” The girl glanced in the direction where Gu Yin had gone.

“Gu Yin, a high school classmate, do you remember him?” Yan Hua casually said, “The other day, I went shopping with Jiang Yun, and she said Gu Yin is doing quite well now, even having dinner with female celebrities.”

The dignified girl was slightly startled, her eyes slightly defocused, as if recalling something…

After a moment, she shook her head slightly, “You’re not close to him either, so what does it matter if you recognized him?”

“I want an autograph!” Yan Hua said excitedly, “Last year, Xia Xiangsi held a concert, and I got ten friends to help me grab tickets, but we didn’t get any. Jiang Yun said Gu Yin seems to be quite familiar with her, maybe he can help me get an autograph.”

“Then you could find him in the classmate group chat, wouldn’t it be more convenient to just send him a message directly?” the girl asked.

“Oh, he left the group right after graduation. You know he wasn’t very sociable back then…” Yan Hua pouted.

“…” The girl didn’t answer, just nodded slightly.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about him.”

Yan Hua turned to the girl, grabbed her arm excitedly, and said:

“Hey, Yu Jie, the idea you helped me with was fantastic. If I successfully pass the exam this time, I won’t worship Guanyin Bodhisattva anymore, I’ll just worship you!”

…

When Gu Yin returned, Mengmeng wasn’t there; only Xia Xiangsi was sitting in her seat.

“Where’s your pet?” Gu Yin asked.

“Went to the restroom,” Xia Xiangsi answered.

A green bottle, shaped like a liquor bottle, appeared on the table at some point; it seemed to be soju.

“Why are you drinking alcohol?” Gu Yin was slightly surprised.

“Don’t worry, I paid for it when I got it.” Xia Xiangsi’s eyes seemed to say, “Do you really think I don’t know you’re a tightwad?”

“…What do you take me for?” Gu Yin couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “Do you think I’m that stingy?”

“You probably don’t have a clear understanding of yourself.” Xia Xiangsi picked up the wine glass, used her slender fingers to pour herself a full glass. There was only a little left in the bottle. The girl raised her white neck and poured all the remaining liquor into her cherry-like mouth.

The warm-toned lights in the restaurant shone on the girl’s fair and delicate face, a slight blush subtly spreading, making her even more attractive.

“You’re blushing.” Gu Yin silently facepalmed, indicating that he didn’t want to argue with a drunkard.

Xia Xiangsi nonchalantly “tched” and passed the wine glass to Gu Yin, asking, “Want some?”

Gu Yin made a “no way” gesture with his hand, saying, “Don’t drink and drive.”

“What?” Xia Xiangsi was stunned, thinking she was drunk and had misheard.

“I’m going to drive!” Gu Yin couldn’t help but pinch her ear.

“Oh.” Xia Xiangsi pouted. You know, female celebrities are actually quite cute when they’ve had a little alcohol. They shed the star airs and idol baggage, becoming more playful.

【Wow~】

Many viewers watching the show on Gu Yin’s side expressed that they were charmed by the goddess’s sweetness.

“Hey…” Suddenly, Xia Xiangsi asked Gu Yin, “Can you sing?”

“Is there anyone who can’t sing?” Gu Yin thought, “The old men in my neighborhood yell every night, and they dare to say they can sing; what’s there for me to be embarrassed about?”

Xia Xiangsi didn’t refute, but instead asked, “Then can you write songs?”

“No.” Gu Yin shook his head naturally.

Xia Xiangsi frowned. Under the light, some wrinkles appeared between her brows. She asked Gu Yin in a very frustrated tone, “Then what’s all that humming you do all day?”

“That’s…” Gu Yin was stunned at first, then found it funny, casually saying, “Stuff I hum in my dreams, do you believe it?”

“Nonsense!” Xia Xiangsi rolled her eyes so hard they almost disappeared.

The two of them chatted back and forth. It proved that men always have trouble keeping their hands still when they chat; they just like to touch things around them. A few days ago, Gu Yin saw a video posted by a college student saying that he raised succulents and cacti on his balcony, and his inconsiderate roommate, while talking to his girlfriend on the balcony, unconsciously pinched off all the thorns from the cactus and stuck them all into the succulents…

At that time, Gu Yin was still laughing at the person, but now, as he was chatting, he almost reached for the wine glass to drink.

“Whew,” Gu Yin thought, “That was close. I almost couldn’t drive.”

“I got so caught up chatting with you, I almost forgot the important stuff.” Before leaving after the meal, Gu Yin took out a pink notebook and handed it to Xia Xiangsi.

He had forgotten two important things: his phone was dead and he forgot to charge it, and he almost forgot to get an autograph for his sister.

“What’s your sister’s name?” Xia Xiangsi asked.

“Gu Yue,” Gu Yin answered, “Gu meaning ‘to care for,’ and Yue meaning ‘joy.'”

“It’s prettier than your name.” Xia Xiangsi said.

Gu Yin: “?”

That could be considered an attack?

Alright, the two of them had officially become a pair of happy enemies.

Amidst laughter and chatter, their meal ended. When they arrived at the underground parking garage, Gu Yin was about to remove the camera from his chest that was filming for the show, “Reconciling with Life,” as time was almost up, but…

As soon as he arrived at his car, seeing the scene before him, he immediately forgot about that.

“Who the hell parked their car in front of my dad’s parking spot?!”
