Chapter 279 Study
It was five o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun in Seoul began to slowly set.
Li Menghan drove her red Ferrari LaFerrari and parked it precisely on time on the roadside outside the south gate of Han City University.
He sat in the car and glanced at the time on his phone.
It was exactly five o'clock.
He looked up and peered out through the windshield.
Soon, he saw a very familiar figure walking out of the school gate.
It's Huo Qian.
Huo Qian wore a white knit sweater, light blue jeans, and white canvas shoes today.
Her hair was casually tied in a ponytail, and she wasn't wearing heavy makeup.
She looks very fresh and clean, like a college student.
She was also holding two thick books in her hands.
Huo Qian walked to the car, opened the passenger door, and got in.
"You're pretty punctual," Huo Qian said with a smile, then placed the book she was holding on her lap.
Li Menghan smiled and started the car.
"Of course, I made an appointment with you, so I can't be late."
Li Menghan asked while turning the steering wheel:
"What do you want to eat tonight? I just checked out a few new restaurants around here yesterday, and they have pretty good reviews."
Huo Qian thought for a moment and replied:
"A simple meal is fine, no need to go to anything too expensive. After dinner, we need to hurry back to the hotel to read."
Li Menghan nodded.
He drove to a nearby restaurant that had a decent atmosphere but was reasonably priced, serving home-style dishes.
The two went inside and found a seat by the window.
They ordered three dishes and a soup.
Soon, all the dishes were served.
The two chatted naturally while eating.
Li Menghan, holding his chopsticks, noticed a detail.
Every time he reached for food, if Huo Qian's chopsticks also happened to be reaching over, Huo Qian would always very naturally pull her chopsticks back and let him go first.
Moreover, there was a time when he accidentally dropped a piece of meat on the table.
Huo Qian didn't say anything, but simply took out a tissue and very naturally wiped the table clean for him.
This feeling is wonderful.
The interaction between the two of them lacked any deliberate, affected politeness.
On the contrary, they seemed very intimate, as if they had known each other for a long time and had lived together for a long time.
After eating for a while.
Huo Qian put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
She looked at Li Menghan sitting opposite her, and her expression became slightly more serious.
Huo Qian asked:
"Menghan, I have a question for you. Don't think I'm being nosy."
Li Menghan put down her chopsticks and looked at her:
"Go ahead and ask, what's the question?"
Huo Qian hesitated for a moment, then asked very directly:
"It's about Fan Xi. What are your true feelings for her?"
Upon hearing the name "Fan Xi," Li Menghan paused for a moment.
He put down his chopsticks and leaned back in his chair.
He looked into Huo Qian's eyes, not avoiding the question.
Li Menghan answered very frankly:
"Actually, I really liked Fan Xi before."
"She's very pretty, and her smile is sweet. I always feel happy when I'm with her."
"After all, I'm a guy too. When I see such a cute girl, I'm bound to feel a bit attracted to her."
Upon hearing this answer, Huo Qian nodded slightly without saying anything.
Li Menghan looked at her and then said:
"However, that liking seems to be just a superficial kind of liking."
"I've thought about it carefully these past few days."
"I found that although she was very beautiful, apart from her beauty, there didn't seem to be any deep communication between us."
Li Menghan sighed and continued:
"Moreover, she lacks depth. All she thinks about every day is how to take photos, how to dress nicely, and how to go to fun places."
"She's not the type to take her studies seriously at all. She doesn't care about her grades at all."
"If I really get together with her, I feel that our future life will probably consist of nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun."
Li Menghan looked at Huo Qian, his gaze becoming very focused.
He said to Huo Qian very seriously:
"On the contrary, after spending time with you, I feel that you seem to be better."
"When I'm with you, I feel very relaxed and at ease."
"You know a lot, and you have a broad perspective. You can not only talk to me about things in life, but also give me a lot of advice on my studies and on some very important issues."
"I feel that you are the one who can grow with me and face the future together."
Hearing Li Menghan say, "It seems you are better,"
Huo Qian's face immediately turned red.
It's very noticeably red.
She quickly lowered her head and touched her ear.
Her heart started beating very fast.
She really didn't expect Li Menghan to speak her mind so directly.
Moreover, they compared her to Fan Xi right in front of her, and ultimately concluded that she was better.
Huo Qian took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She raised her head again and looked at Li Menghan.
Her eyes held a very gentle light.
She also mustered up her courage and spoke out what was on her mind.
Huo Qian said very seriously:
"Actually... Menghan, I've always admired you very much."
"From the first time I saw you at the school gate, and after learning about your family situation."
"I see that even though you have so much money, you haven't become arrogant or domineering. You still have principles and know what you should and shouldn't do."
"I've seen everything about how you treat your family and how you handle things."
"I think you are a very responsible and principled young man. I really admire your character."
Li Menghan heard Huo Qian say that she had always admired him.
He opened his eyes wide in surprise.
He really didn't expect that someone like Huo Qian, a young lady from a wealthy family with hundreds of billions in assets and such high standards, would actually appreciate him.
Li Menghan nodded and said happily:
"Thank you, Huo Qian. I'm really happy to hear you say that."
"I always thought that girls from wealthy families like yours must be very picky about men. I never expected you to appreciate me."
After the two opened up to each other, the atmosphere at the table became much better.
Li Menghan took a sip of water and then said:
"So, I've made up my mind. From now on, my contact with Fan Xi will gradually fade away."
"I don't want to waste any more time on meaningless things."
"I need to focus all my attention on my studies now. Otherwise, if I fail a course, my dad will definitely use it to scold me. I don't want him to look down on me."
Huo Qian nodded in agreement when she heard Li Menghan say that.
She said with a smile:
"It's good that you think that way. Studying is the most important thing right now."
"If you encounter any problems you don't understand this semester, or if you have missed any courses..."
"You can come to me anytime. I can help you with your studies."
When Li Menghan heard that Huo Qian was willing to help him, he clapped his hands with joy.
He said loudly:
"That's wonderful! Thank you so much!"
"It just so happens that classes officially start tomorrow. Let's go to the hotel tonight and take out all the textbooks we'll be using this semester to review them thoroughly."
"Tonight, we'll study hard together. You can guide me and help me familiarize myself with the key points beforehand."
Huo Qian looked at Li Menghan's very serious expression.
She smiled and nodded, answering very decisively:
"Of course, no problem."
"As long as you're willing to learn, I promise to teach you everything I know."
After dinner.
Li Menghan went to the front desk to pay the bill.
The two walked out of the restaurant together.
It was completely dark outside.
The streetlights came on and shone on the road.
Li Menghan and Huo Qian walked to the roadside and got into the red Ferrari LaFerrari.
After starting the car, Li Menghan drove directly towards the five-star hotel next to the south gate of the school.
After driving for about five minutes, the car stopped in the hotel's underground parking garage.
Li Menghan was holding her and Huo Qian's books.
The two of them took the elevator upstairs and arrived at the room that Li Menghan had booked in advance that morning.
Push open the door and go inside.
The room was very spacious, with a large desk and excellent lighting.
Li Menghan placed the books on the desk.
He pulled out two chairs and said to Huo Qian:
"Come on, let's sit here. Let's read a lot here tonight."
Huo Qian walked over and sat down.
She opened the textbook in her hand and took out a pen.
She looked at Li Menghan and said very professionally:
"Alright, let's begin now. This first chapter is quite important, so I'll explain these core concepts to you first."
Li Menghan nodded very seriously.
He opened the book, picked up his pen, and stared intently at the words on the page.
The two of them sat down at the desk in the hotel room.
Quietly and earnestly, I began to read and study.
If someone were to push the door open at this moment and see this scene...
You'll definitely find it incredible.
A rich second-generation heir driving a 50 million Ferrari sports car, accompanied by a heiress from a multi-billion dollar family.
Late at night, I went to a five-star hotel and booked a room.
As a result, the two of them did absolutely nothing.
He simply sat obediently at his desk, reading and studying very diligently.
If this scene were told to others, probably no one would believe it.
But that's how it is for the two of them now.
I had no random thoughts in my mind; I was simply studying.
Time passed by, second by second.
The only sounds in the room were the turning of pages and Huo Qian's very gentle voice explaining.
