After becoming famous overnight, Yan Dongxu received many messages.
All kinds of obscure aunts and uncles, as well as old classmates he hadn't contacted in years, swarmed to talk to him.
People who had no connection to him also added him as a friend. He didn't know what these people were up to.
He replied to a few people, and soon saw these people showing off their chat records on Moments.
Seeing this, Yan Dongxu was too lazy to reply anymore.
These people contacted him for nothing more than two things - to satisfy their own vanity, or to ask him for favors.
Whether it was one or the other, it would only upset him, so why bother himself over it?
But among the many friends who took the initiative to contact him, some warmed his heart.
Like the female classmate he had a secret crush on in school, and a bunch of mischievous buddies.
They just hadn't been in touch for a long time, and their words didn't contain any ulterior motives, which made him feel very comfortable.
One person's message surprised him in particular.
"The most handsome Taoist priest on Longhu Mountain..."
Yan Dongxu read the other person's username, and the image of a chubby guy appeared in his mind.
This person was his childhood friend Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan came from a well-off family and was spoiled rotten since childhood.
When they were little and had 50 cents pocket money per day, Zhou Quan already had 10 yuan.
So as Zhou Quan’s best friend, he reaped a lot of benefits.
With Zhou Quan's powerful financial support, they became the kings of the kindergarten and even junior high school kids.
No one could refuse a pack of spicy sticks, or two packs if one didn't work.
At that time, they had a group of buddies following them everywhere, even to the bathroom after class.
It was majestic and impressive, and he still felt cool thinking back on it now.
As for why they weren't the king of kids in high school,
it was all because Zhou Quan fell in love with a female classmate.
From then on, Zhou Quan's pocket money all went to that girl.
Yan Dongxu didn't get a single cent.
But their friendship remained unchanged, or even grew stronger.
Zhou Quan gave all his money to the girl to buy snacks, and he had no money left to buy meals.
So he came to mooch off half of Yan Dongxu’s lunchbox every day.
Yan Dongxu never complained, because there’s a saying - share in the blessings, share in the hardships.
For a brother's happiness, what’s the big deal with getting mooched off for three years of lunchboxes?
At the beginning of the last semester of 12th grade, Zhou Quan suddenly disappeared and did not continue going to school.
With the college entrance exam imminent, Zhou Quan's sudden dropout really shocked Yan Dongxu.
Later when he went to Zhou Quan’s house, he finally understood what had happened.
Although they were already adults, the girl getting pregnant at this time was not something the two families wanted to see.
In a fit of anger, Zhou Quan's father immediately sent him to Longhu Mountain to meditate, and gave the girl's family a sum of money.
The girl later transferred to another city.
"Quan, after so many years, you finally thought to contact me." Yan Dongxu replied.
【Yo, now that the Taoist priest has regained his freedom, the first person he thought of was you. Aren't you especially touched?】
"Pfft. Taoist priest your butt, sounds like you've come down the mountain? Where are you? Let's meet up."
【On the high speed rail, will arrive at 11am. Come pick your brother up.】
"Sure."
【I saw everything that happened with you online. Not bad, you've made a name for yourself now. I'm gonna rip you off big time.】
"No problem, order whatever you want, it's my treat."
【Hahaha, then I won't hold back. But I'll need you to do me a favor first and go get the Ferrari my dad just bought me. With a nice ride, we can cruise in style, right?】
Yan Dongxu: "..."
Zhou Quan was still as arrogant as ever. Just came down the mountain and already had a Ferrari ready. Really hated people more successful than himself.
After making breakfast for Yan Xinran, and dressing up his little sister carefully, Yan Dongxu said, "Brother is taking you out to play in a bit."
"Yay, yay! Xinran wants to go to the amusement park."
"You're still small, you can't play much there. Brother is taking you out to eat yummy food."
After getting ready, the two got a taxi and arrived at the villa area where Zhou Quan's family lived.
Seeing Zhou Quan's father, Yan Dongxu was very moved.
"Uncle, long time no see, you look much older."
"Dongxu, it really has been a long time since you came. This is your sister right? First time seeing her. Come, let Uncle hug you."
"Xinran, go on."
Yan Xinran wasn't shy at all. She bounced over and gave Uncle Zhou a big hug.
"Oh my, so well behaved! I've always wanted a daughter. Why don't you just be my goddaughter?"
Uncle Zhou was delighted.
"Looks good to me. What a cutie pie. Wait here, I'll get her a gift."
Aunt Wang hurried into the villa, and soon came out with a golden ruyi necklace to put on Yan Xinran.
"Thank you Auntie."
Yan Xinran immediately thanked her, and shamelessly accepted it right away.
"Haha, come, let Auntie kiss you."
Aunt Wang's face blossomed into a smile, and she smothered Yan Xinran's chubby cheeks with kisses.
Yan Xinran grimaced from the kisses, but her little hands kept fiddling with the ruyi necklace around her neck.
She gently bit it with her milk teeth, and excitedly exclaimed, "Bro, it's gold! We're rich!"
Yan Dongxu's face instantly turned red, feeling extremely embarrassed.
But Uncle Zhou and Aunt Wang laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, who would've thought she's a little money lover at such a young age. From now on you're my goddaughter."
Aunt Wang gently pinched Yan Xinran's little nose, doting on her immensely.
"Heehee." Yan Xinran had a silly grin on her face, still immersed in the joy of getting rich.
"Uncle, Auntie, Zhou Quan asked me to get the car to pick him up. It's about time, where's the car?"
Yan Dongxu got down to business.
Uncle Zhou handed over the car keys.
"The car is in the garage. I don't care where you guys go for lunch, but you better be back for dinner."
"Also, don't bring Xinran. Leave her with us."
Seeing Uncle Zhou's firm attitude, Yan Dongxu had no choice but to agree.
"Xinran, you stay here first. Brother will come get you in the evening. No causing trouble, got it?"
"Okay, brother you go ahead. I'll stay with Uncle and Auntie." Yan Xinran answered very obediently.
"Oh, so well behaved! Come on in, Auntie will get you some treats."
Aunt Wang said as she carried Yan Xinran inside.
Yan Dongxu felt very uneasy. He knew his sister best.
Normally, Yan Xinran would've thrown a tantrum and insisted on following him.
But she was so obedient today, which was very unusual.
Something strange was definitely going on. He guessed the little rascal must be plotting something.
Uncle Zhou opened the garage door, revealing a brand new red Ferrari.
Without any experience driving supercars, Yan Dongxu quickly got the hang of it under Uncle Zhou's guidance, and slowly drove out of the villa area.
Along the way, he attracted a lot of attention.
He also got to experience the thrill of driving a supercar.
Thinking to himself that he would get one for himself after working hard for another two years.
