"Hey, what did that streamer just want from you?"
After exchanging phone numbers with Zhou Chen and agreeing on the time and place, Xiang Ye carried his fish and fishing gear back onto the boat.
Just as he sat down, Huang Kai turned to him and asked,
"There's a competition at Panshan Reservoir tomorrow. That streamer has a team, but one member's wife is about to have a baby, so they need someone to fill the spot. Since you haven't competed before, they want you to go and get some experience."
Hearing Huang Kai's question, Xiang Ye didn't hide anything and told him about the invitation straightforwardly.
"Hey, I was just thinking about that. I have something going on tomorrow and probably can't make it. Looks like you've already made your plans then." Huang Kai laughed after hearing Xiang Ye's reply. Soon after, their boat carried them back to shore.
Around 4:30 pm, after boarding the sightseeing shuttle, they left the park.
Once each person got into their cars, they first drove to the restaurant they'd been to the day before. They left the fourteen-Jin Grass Carp and the five-Jin-plus Topmouth Culter at the restaurant before Xiang Ye drove straight home.
But before heading upstairs, Xiang Ye made a deliberate detour to the underground garage.
He still remembered he had to take out his car.
Near his community, Xiang Ye found a spot without surveillance cameras and summoned the Bentley Bentayga he had won as a reward yesterday through the system.
To his surprise, he discovered he could even choose the car's color—an unexpectedly fun feature.
After some consideration, he picked white instead of the default black. The black looked a bit old-fashioned and didn't suit him.
Once the color was selected, the scene shimmered before him, and a shiny new SUV appeared. Xiang Ye noticed the car already had a license plate—not a great number, but a local one. He verified the model and engine number matched, confirming it was fully registered and ready to drive.
Getting inside, he saw a thick stack of contracts on the front passenger seat—purchase invoice, tax receipts, mandatory insurance, commercial insurance, and other complete paperwork.
Looking at the documents, Xiang Ye pulled out his driver's license from his freshman year. Honestly, if it weren't for occasionally driving Ai Bai's car, he might have forgotten how to drive. But even if he did, it wouldn't be a problem.
Don't forget, his Wisdom stat was now 40, making it easy to recall past knowledge.
"Three million yuan car—drive carefully!"
Taking a deep breath, Xiang Ye slowly drove the car toward his residential area.
Once the car emerged from the alley, he realized he had been overthinking—he needed to worry more about other drivers than himself.
As he drove out, many cars nearby—taxis and others—slowed down instinctively.
Probably many female drivers thought his car was a 13-series BMW, but over ninety percent of male drivers wouldn't confuse a Bentley with a BMW.
Though they had no idea the car's true value, they knew it was worth millions. If they crashed this car, their own lives would be over too…
So, Xiang Ye's drive home went smoothly despite the usual rush hour traffic.
He soon entered his community.
Initially, he planned to park at the underground garage, but the community rules forbid outsiders from parking underground unless registered as visitors or owners of new cars, and even then, a parking fee applies.
However, as Xiang Ye's car approached, the security guard surprisingly raised the barrier for him, leaving Xiang Ye stunned. He still drove in and parked beside Ai Bai's car, leaving his phone number in case he needed to move the car if occupying someone else's spot.
After loading his fishing gear into the new car, Xiang Ye finally carried the fish upstairs to his apartment.
Back home, he planned to call Ai Bai before showering since Zhao Lei had already recognized him. There was no point hiding now, and it might be a good chance to make some connections.
But when he arrived, Ai Bai was lying motionless on the couch like a dead fish.
"Huh? Weren't you supposed to move? Thought you'd have dinner with your girlfriend tonight!" Xiang Ye asked with some confusion.
"Sigh, don't mention it. I just found out what 'living hell' really means today! Where are your fish? Let me see, maybe they can revive me!" Ai Bai replied weakly.
Clearly, Ai Bai had been dragged around shopping all day by Wang Fangfei.
Some might think shopping with a girlfriend is no big deal, but honestly, everyone feels fine at first. However, after the tenth, twentieth, or hundredth time…
You begin to understand why guys say shopping with girls is worse than death.
Same street, same clothes, every time you pass, she asks the same questions, but you have to give different answers…
And she's not just talking about that one outfit—dozens, hundreds, even thousands of choices. Even the best wordsmith can run out of things to say after dozens of trips, let alone a hundred.
Of course, there is one way to shut a girl up: "You like it? Buy it!"
That makes girls happy, even if they never wear the clothes. But the problem is… most people live on an ordinary salary.
Girls get happy, but the bills pile up.
Is the average monthly salary in modern China really over a million yuan now?
"Here, freeze these fish. Two for you, two for me. Now cheer up and come eat with me. I'll go shower first." Seeing Ai Bai's state, Xiang Ye smiled.
"Yeah, at this time, going to eat—if Boss Zhao sees me, he probably won't blame me." Ai Bai checked the time after putting the fish in the freezer.
"Uh, I've got two pieces of news—one good, one bad. Which do you want first?" Xiang Ye said with a grin, holding up a fresh change of clothes.
