“Ah–”
The next morning, Adams sat up from his bed and stretched his back beautifully.
1
Then, he got out of bed, brushed his teeth, and washed his face. He put on his clothes and prepared to go out. He was going to school.
His current identity was still that of a university student.
The reason why he didn’t need to go to school a few days ago was because it was a holiday. Today was the start of school.
In his previous life, he had never been to university. Now, he wanted to experience university life.
Adams went out for a ride. After some time, he arrived at the university entrance.
Peter was squatting at the university entrance. When he saw Adams get out of the car, he quickly ran over.
1
“Hey, Buddy!”
Adams nodded calmly.
“Why have you become so calm recently?”
Peter scratched his head. He felt that Adams was different from before. He had become much calmer.
“Really?”
1
Adams lit up a cigarette. He did not confirm or deny it.
1
Peter did not care too much. He was a rough guy to begin with.
At this moment, a beautiful car stopped beside Adams and the two of them.
“Hey guys. How was your vacation?”
The window rolled down, and an annoying face popped out — Ken Gerrard.
“I accompanied my father to Las Vegas for vacation. I said I didn’t want to go, but he insisted on taking me there.”
“No choice then, I’ll go. I didn’t expect to make a small fortune there. Do you think I’m very lucky?” Gerrard said as he got out of the car.
“What about you? Did you go somewhere to play?”
This question was obviously not with good intentions, because everyone knew Adams’ family situation. He was a relatively poor one and could not afford to go anywhere to travel.
Peter frowned and answered loudly, “Adams and I went to New York for a vacation. It’s a big city. It’s very fun.”
“Really?”
Gerrard’s eyes looked back and forth between Peter and Adams. He doubted the authenticity of Peter’s words.
“You doubt what I said?”
Peter saw the look in Gerrard’s eyes and became anxious on the spot. He quickly took out his cell phone and showed Gerrard the photos he took when he was visiting New York.
“This is indeed New York.”
Gerrard nodded. The photos were indeed pictures of Peter and various famous buildings in New York. He had been to New York before and could recognize them.
“Right?”
Peter nodded proudly.
Gerrard glanced at Adams who was smoking silently and blowing out a smoke ring. Then he asked Peter his own question. “But, what about Adams?”
“Adams, he, he is helping me take photos.”
Peter answered with a stutter, at the same time looking at Adams who was smoking calmly.
Say something! I am helping you now!
“Are you done? I have to go to class.”
Adams threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and walked directly to the university entrance.
He had come here to experience the atmosphere of the university, not to chat with some idiots.
Talking to such idiots was just a waste of his time.
At this moment, three girls happened to run over from the other side of the school gate.
The girl in the middle was about twenty years old. She had delicate features, a hot figure, and long black hair. She was a very attractive girl.
2
The girls on the left and right were slightly different, but she was still considered a pretty girl.
“Hey, Adams, you’re back!”
The most attractive girl in the middle waved at Adams from afar with an excited look on her face.
Her name was Jessica and she was Adams’ classmate.
Adams stopped in his tracks when he saw Jessica running toward him.
“Hi, Jessica.”
Adams knew from his memory that this Jessica was quite nice to him and seemed to like him.
Jessica’s expression became even happier when she saw Adams greet her.
Gerrard, who was beside her, didn’t look too happy.
Jessica was the prettiest girl in the class. Her grades were also very good. She was the secret crush of many students in the class.
2
She was also one of his favorite girls.
This morning, Gerrard had to beg his father for a long time before he could borrow these two luxurious cars.
2
He had his father’s chauffeur drive him around the school gate just so that when Jessica appeared, he could stop in front of her and strike up a conversation with her.
But now, Jessica had come all the way here to greet the trash, Adams, and even took the initiative to come over.
And he had come to school in such a luxurious car, yet she had turned a blind eye to him.
How could Gerrard bear this?
“Jessica, long time no see.”
Gerrard took the initiative to greet Jessica, trying to make her notice his luxurious car.
“Oh, it’s Gerrard. Hello.”
Jessica turned to look at Gerrard, but she appeared very cold. Compared to the warm attitude toward Adams, it was simply too far away.
Gerrard’s expression changed on the spot, and his face became very stiff.
2
At this moment, the other two girls also ran over, panting.
“Phew… Phew… Jessica, you ran too fast, right?”
“Is there a need? You’re so excited to see Adams.”
1
The girl on the left had a few freckles on her face. Her name was Lacey.
The girl on the right had a red ribbon tied on her head. Her name was Chris.
2
“What are you guys talking about?!”
Jessica’s face was slightly red as she pouted in an annoyed manner. Her big eyes stole glances at Adams again.
When she saw that Adams did not make any reaction, she felt a little disappointed.
“Wow — These two cars are so beautiful! Are they yours?”
2
Lacey saw the luxury car parked at the side and shouted exaggeratedly.
“Yes, this car is so beautiful!”
Hearing Lacey’s words, Chris also noticed the car and was surprised.
“Ahem, this car is mine.”
Seeing that someone finally noticed his car, Gerrard was ecstatic, but he pretended to be very calm.
5
“Such a beautiful car, it must be very expensive, right?”
Lacey kept circling around the luxury car, exclaiming from time to time.
“Not much, just close to one million.”
Gerrard pretended to be indifferent, but there was a sense of pride and superiority in his words.
1
“One million!”
Lacey and Chris’ eyes almost popped out when they heard the number.
“Yes, it’s not too expensive, but it’s something that some people will never earn in their lifetime.”
Gerrard looked at Adams as he spoke. The meaning of his words was very obvious.
He wanted to use his money to make Adams lose face in front of Jessica!
