Chapter 318: Chapter 180: Dating Guide
September 7, 2025. Monday.
"Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received a deposit of RMB 240,000.00 at 00:01 on September 07. Current balance: 12,940,000."
At 8:00 AM, Lin Shenâs excellent internal clock woke him up right on time.
Even after sleeping in so many five-star luxury hotels, he still felt his own soft 2m x 2.5m bed was the most comfortable.
"A, open the curtains in the master bedroom and living room, start the robot vacuum, and play the weather forecast and morning news."
Lin Shen left the master bedroom and went to the bathroom, listening to the AIâs simulated, childlike voice as he washed up.
"Okay, Master! Today is September 7, 2025. The East China Region will be mostly cloudy with temperatures from 25°C to 35°C. It will feel hot and humid. The UV index will be high in the afternoon, so itâs recommended to use sunscreen and stay hydrated."
"Top news story: The incident from a month ago about âa Chinese-Australian woman driving a custom Rolls-Royce on the wrong side of the road, causing a crash, and posting a billion-dollar bailâ has been confirmed as a rumor. Details about her family and personal life remain a mystery..."
âA mystery is exactly what it should be!â
Lin Shen pursed his lips even as he brushed his teeth.
?
âJust go to work and pretend you donât know anything. Maybe youâd be happier that way.â
"Ptooey!"
Lin Shen spat the toothpaste foam forcefully into the sink. After finishing up, he leisurely went to the kitchen and made himself a nutritious breakfast.
After his meal, he shaved, washed his hair, got dressed, and groomed himself.
Once everything was ready, Lin Shen grabbed his car keys and headed downstairs, ready to meet up with the little girl heâd been invited to see.
...
Civil Aviation Vocational Technical College, Dorm 403.
Although it was Monday, as a third-year flight attendant major, Zheng Yanfei had very few classes left on her schedule.
Still, she woke up early to wash up, put on her makeup, and meticulously get herself ready.
She had a date with Lin Shen, so naturally, she had to show him her most beautiful side.
"Feifei! Are you ready yet? My boyfriend is getting antsy waiting at the school gate."
Tang Tian stood at the door with her hands on her hips, a look of exasperation on her face.
"Iâve never seen you take this long with your makeup!"
"Donât rush me! Itâs only 8:20. We still have ten minutes before weâre supposed to meet."
Zheng Yanfei applied a glossy, light pink lipstick to her thin lips, pressed them together, and then quickly stood up.
"Done! Letâs go!"
"Every time we go out, youâre always the slowest. I donât know what takes you so long."
Cheng Xiao grumbled, earning a disdainful look from Zheng Yanfei.
"A woman adorns herself for the one who appreciates her. Whatâs wrong with me making myself look good for my boyfriend? Unlike some people, who spend a manâs money while complaining that heâs ugly."
"Zheng! Yan! Fei!"
Faced with Zheng Yanfeiâs passive-aggressive jab, Cheng Xiaoâs expression darkened, but she couldnât find a reason to argue back.
She hadnât thought this way before.
While it was true that Cheng wasnât good-looking, he came from a rich family, so Cheng Xiao would often console herself.
âYou canât have it all, right?â
âThis is Modu, but how could there be that many tall, rich, and handsome guys for you to choose from?!â
âEven if there were, it wouldnât be your turn. Theyâre surrounded by women!â
So Cheng Xiao had figured that as long as Cheng was rich, it was fine. Besides, she still had a handsome boyfriend back in her hometown.
But then, Zheng Yanfei showed up with Lin Shen!
The boyfriend sheâd found wasnât just handsome with a great bodyâhe was also incredibly rich, with a background that was a complete mystery!
He combined practically every good quality a guy could have. He was the very picture of a perfect male god!
This instantly threw Cheng Xiaoâs heart out of balance.
âOn what grounds?â
Buoyed by Lin Shen, Zheng Yanfeiâs confidence skyrocketed. Once someone who rarely argued with others, she now started antagonizing Cheng Xiao every day.
This put her in a terrible mood.
Usually, she was the one who bullied Zheng Yanfei, but now the roles were completely reversed!
But the current Zheng Yanfei truly had the upper hand in every way.
In terms of looks, Zheng Yanfei was leagues above everyone around her.
To be crowned the campus belle at the Civil Aviation College, a school teeming with beauties, was a testament to her stunning looks.
Originally, Cheng Xiao could use her boyfriendâs status to hold something over Zheng Yanfeiâs head, but now she was the one being completely overshadowed!
Furious, she spun around and stormed off. Seeing this, Tang Tian hurried after her.
"Xiaoxiao! Wait for me!"
"Hmph!"
Zheng Yanfei let out an arrogant little snort, then walked over to the full-length mirror, took a photo of her outfit, and delightedly sent it to Lin Shen.
Today, she was going for a sweet-and-cool academic style, leaning toward a Korean-inspired look.
Her top was a short, white, sailor-collared shirt with black-and-white striped details and a bow. Puffy sleeves added a touch of sweetness, while the cropped style revealed her slender waist and a hint of playfulness.
On the bottom, she wore a dark, striped, pleated miniskirt, revealing a pair of beautiful legs as smooth as jade.
A black beret sat on her head, and she carried the Chanel bag Lin Shen had given her. This was paired with the chalcedony heart bracelet, also a gift from him, which gave her entire aura a youthful, energetic vibe.
[Zheng Yanfei: Babe~ what do you think of my outfit?]
[Lin Shen: Looks good. Iâm at the gate.]
[Zheng Yanfei: Hehe! Iâm on my way~ Wait for me, babe!]
After getting a compliment from Lin Shen, Zheng Yanfei felt a wave of sweetness wash over her. She immediately linked arms with Xu Manman and said with a giggle,
"Letâs go, Manman. Time to head out! My boyfriend is here too."
"Feifei, your boyfriend is so good to you."
Seeing that all the accessories Zheng Yanfei was wearing were gifts from Lin Shen, Xu Manman couldnât help but feel a pang of envy.
"You two have only known each other for half a month, right? And heâs already given you so many luxury goods? He must be loaded!"
"To us, these gifts might seem expensive, but for people in my boyfriendâs social class, itâs just their everyday spending money."
