The Sweet Trouble

In the car, Xu Zilin screamed with excitement, "Whoa!! This is so thrilling!"

"How's the acceleration?" Su Yang asked with a smile.

"So fast! As expected of a top-tier supercar! Not even many electric cars could beat this. What's the zero to a hundred time?"

"About two seconds, I haven't really tested it properly yet."

"That's too fast! How much horsepower?"

"1800."

"Holy crap, that's insane! It's my first time sitting in an 1800-horsepower car in my entire life."

"You also seem to be the first person to sit in the passenger seat of this car."

Hearing this, Xu Zilin turned to look at Su Yang, looking a bit shy. "R-really?"

"Yeah, it's a new car, I just started driving it too."

"Then I guess I'm pretty lucky."

"By the way, you mentioned wanting me to help you drive a car. Where are we taking it?"

"To my other house. I don't stay here at Senhai Manor very often anymore, so since I had some free time, I figured I'd move a car over."

"Oh, okay," Xu Zilin nodded.

Chatting idly, Su Yang soon drove to his parking spaces in the underground garage of Senhai Manor.

Looking at the handsome McLaren Senna, Xu Zilin pointed at it and smiled, "Do you want me to help you drive this one?"

"Yes."

"But I've never driven a supercar before. I don't know if I can handle it."

"It's fine. Since you already know how to drive, you'll figure it out as soon as I explain it to you. It's really simple."

"Okay."

Saying that, Su Yang casually parked the Bugatti in an empty spot, and then he and Xu Zilin opened their doors and got out.

"The keys are upstairs. Are you going to wait for me here or come up with me?"

"I'll wait for you here."

"Alright, then wait for me for two minutes." Su Yang said as he quickly walked into the elevator lobby and took the elevator up to the eighth floor.

"Ah, it's been a while since I came back here. I kind of missed it."

Opening the door and walking inside, Su Yang looked at the spotless apartment and smiled. "Looks like I still need to come and stay here from time to time. I can't just leave it empty. After all, this is the first house I ever bought, the place where my dreams began."

He looked around the house as he spoke, then picked up the keys to the Senna, closed the door, and went downstairs.

At that moment, Xu Zilin was standing next to the Senna, the Maybach, and the other cars, taking pictures with her phone. She was a professional car photographer, after all, and couldn't resist snapping some shots whenever she saw luxury cars.

Seeing Su Yang return, she pointed at the cars in front of her and smiled, "These are all yours, right?"

"Yes. I remember you've seen the Maybach before."

"I think so, I can't quite remember either."

"Are you still taking pictures?"

"No, I'm done."

"Alright, here, the car keys." Su Yang took out the Senna's key and handed it to Xu Zilin.

"Great, teach me how to drive it."

"Okay." Su Yang agreed and walked over to the Senna. Xu Zilin pressed the unlock button.

Su Yang opened the door, let Xu Zilin sit inside, and then briefly explained some of the basic controls to her.

Since Xu Zilin drove frequently anyway, she quickly figured it out.

"Alright, I'll send you the address, and then we'll head out."

"Okay."

Su Yang sent the location of the Jingyutai Villa District to Xu Zilin's WeChat and smiled, "Sent it. Let's go!"

"Okay." Xu Zilin opened the location, took a look, and thought to herself, 'Jingyutai Villa District. He's really rich.'

Soon, the two drove out of the Senhai Manor underground garage.

The two top-tier supercars appeared on the street, once again attracting the gazes of countless passersby.

The two supercars let out a roaring hum and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

More than ten minutes later, the two cars drove through the gates of the Jingyutai Villa District. After driving along the internal roads for a minute, they arrived in front of Su Yang's Mid-Levels Villa No. 6.

Su Yang opened the right-side gate and drove in, and Xu Zilin quickly followed.

Upon entering the villa's courtyard, Xu Zilin immediately spotted the Ferrari F80, the McLaren W1, and the 911 Turbo S.

"Holy crap!!! Did I just walk into an auto show? This Su Yang is way too rich, these are all god-tier cars."

"And his villa is so beautiful too. I'm so jealous."

The two parked their cars next to the F80, then opened their doors and got out.

Su Yang took a bunch of bags out of his car, looked at Xu Zilin, and smiled, "Thanks! Come on, let's go inside and sit for a bit."

"Okay." Xu Zilin swallowed hard. Remembering something, she called out, "Su Yang, you go in first. I'm going to take some pictures of the cars."

"Sure. Oh, right, after you take pictures of this yellow W1, don't post it on TikTok just yet. You can post the other cars however you like."

"Got it!" Xu Zilin didn't ask any further questions. If Su Yang said so, he definitely had his reasons. She was never one to pry; as long as she could take pictures, she was happy.

Su Yang went inside first. After spending a few minutes photographing the cars, Xu Zilin also walked into the villa.

As soon as she entered, the lights in the first-floor living room automatically turned on. Looking at the incredibly luxurious, oversized living room and the black Steinway piano placed where the dining room met the living room, Xu Zilin secretly swallowed hard.

"Su Yang, do you know how to play the piano?"

"Yeah, a little bit." Su Yang smiled and picked up the two bags he had bought for Xu Zilin, waving her over. "Zilin, come here."

"Oh, okay." Looking at the interior decor and the various furnishings, Xu Zilin felt nothing but sheer envy.

Although her family background wasn't bad, it wasn't extremely wealthy either. This was her first time visiting such a luxurious villa.

"Here, a little gift for you." Su Yang held out the two small bags to Xu Zilin.

Seeing this, Xu Zilin waved her hands hesitantly, "I probably shouldn't."

"Oh, come on, take it. It's not anything overly expensive. You helped me out, so it's only fair I give you a little something, right?"

"But... it's too expensive."

"It's not expensive, it's not. Just take it."

Seeing Su Yang keeping his hands extended, Xu Zilin had no choice but to reach out and accept them.

"Alright then. Thank you, Su Yang."

"No need to be so polite, we're friends."

"Mhm, we are!"

"There you go. Come and take a seat."

"Okay."

As they spoke, the two walked over to the sofa and sat down. Su Yang raised his hand to check the time; it was 11:00 PM.

It was still relatively early, and he suddenly felt a bit hungry.

He picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table and handed it to the slightly nervous Xu Zilin. "Zilin, have some water."

"Okay, thank you."

"No problem. Are you hungry?"

"Hmm, now that you mention it, I guess I am a little hungry."

"How about we go out and grab a late-night snack?"

"Sounds good."

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"Let me think... How about we go to that roadside barbecue place we ate at last time?"

Su Yang thought back for a moment and immediately remembered the barbecue joint they went to near Qianxiang City the first time they hung out. The food there was indeed pretty good.

"Sure, let's go."

"Okay!" They said as they stood up and walked toward the villa's front door.

Soon, they arrived in the courtyard. Su Yang looked at the cars and asked, "Which one should we drive?"

Xu Zilin blinked and smiled. "Is this what they call a happy problem?"

"What do you mean?"

"I never have to struggle with which car to drive when I go out, because I only have one." Xu Zilin stuck her tongue out playfully and smiled.

Su Yang instantly understood what she meant. He burst into laughter. "I won't overthink it then, let's just take the 911. I remember taking this exact car the last time we went out for barbecue. It's been a while since I drove it anyway, so we might as well take it for a spin."

"Sounds good~"

The two of them walked over to the Turbo S, opened the doors, and got inside.

Su Yang started the engine and drove out of the villa with Xu Zilin.
