"On the Day of Reunion, The Heir to the Wealthy Family Became My Brother" - Chapter 10

Ning Xin’er didn’t hesitate to accept his help.

She needed someone to push her suitcases anyway—her wrists were already aching from dragging them alone earlier.

“Thanks, Campus Heartthrob Huo,” she said casually, picking up her handbag to carry it herself.

“It’s my honor to serve my girlfriend,” Huo Jingtian replied with a charming smile.

If any other girl had seen that smile, they would have melted on the spot.

But not her.

Because…

“Ah! The leading lady is here—everyone, make way!”

Suddenly, a loud exclamation broke the order of the crowd. At the school gate, a large group of students had gathered in a circle, surrounding something.

As soon as the shout echoed, the crowd parted instantly, clearing a path while turning their gazes toward Ning Xin’er and Huo Jingtian.

Ning Xin’er wasn’t blind—she could clearly see the admiration in their eyes, practically turning into liquid, ready to flood the road.

But… why were they all staring at her?

Were they envying her?

Confused, she instinctively glanced at Huo Jingtian. It can’t be him again, right?

He always loved to put on a show.

Huo Jingtian simply stood there with a gentle smile, gazing at her with what looked like deep affection.

To outsiders, it was the look of a man hopelessly in love with his girlfriend.

Ning Xin’er: “…..!!”

Sure enough, from within the crowd, a little girl in a princess dress waddled over to her.

“Pretty sister, Brother Jingtian asked me to give you this rose,” the little girl said sweetly, holding out a bright red rose. Her voice was soft and adorable.

Then, with her chubby little hands, she reached for Ning Xin’er’s and tugged at her gently.

“Pretty sister, come with me.”

Ning Xin’er glanced at Huo Jingtian, who nodded at her encouragingly.

The little girl’s warm, pudgy hand was surprisingly strong as she pulled Ning Xin’er forward with all her might.

Ning Xin’er’s heart softened instantly.

Where did Huo Jingtian even find such an adorable little girl?

He really knew how to make her lower her guard.

Following the little girl along the path cleared by the crowd, Ning Xin’er attracted even more attention.

More and more students gathered, stopping in their tracks to watch the scene unfold.

And now she knew—the reason for the traffic jam outside the school…

It was all because of Huo Jingtian!

Gradually, a bright yellow Lamborghini came into view, parked conspicuously at the center of attention.

The front trunk was completely filled with red roses.

The surrounding crowd gasped and snapped photos excitedly.

Ning Xin’er didn’t even need to open her eyes to know—by tomorrow, the school forum would explode with this news.

Just how did he manage to stuff that many roses into such a small space?

Yellow and red together—it was flashy beyond belief.

The little girl led her to the car, then sensibly stepped aside.

At that moment, Huo Jingtian appeared behind her, dropping to one knee.

Out of nowhere, he pulled out a bouquet of blue roses.

“Xin’er, today marks the 111th day of my love for you and the 12th time I’ve confessed my feelings.”

Ning Xin’er held her forehead in exasperation.

All this… just for a confession?

He caused a full-blown traffic jam!

She had already wasted half an hour sitting in a rideshare, and now who knew how many more people were being delayed?

She gave Huo Jingtian a sharp look, took the bouquet from him, then yanked him up forcefully.

Grabbing his wrist, she pulled him toward the Lamborghini.

Without a shred of gentleness, she shoved him into the passenger seat, then climbed into the driver’s seat herself.

Revving the engine, she honked the horn, signaling the crowd to clear the way.

Huo Jingtian didn’t resist at all—he simply chuckled, letting her do as she pleased.

With a whoosh, Ning Xin’er sped off, escaping the scene.

The crowd left behind could only sigh in disappointment. Seeing there was no more drama to watch, they gradually dispersed.

Twenty minutes later, the road was finally clear.

—

As they drove, Ning Xin’er raised the car’s soft-top roof.

The giant bouquet of roses sitting on the hood was already flashy enough—she didn’t want anyone on the outside to see their faces too.

“Can you not block public roads for your confessions? Maybe try a more mature approach?” she said while keeping her eyes on the road.

“I rented the car just for this, and I carefully picked out the flowers. Do you like them?” Huo Jingtian asked with a grin.

“They’re alright. The car drives well. As for the flowers…” Ning Xin’er arched an eyebrow.

After 111 days of this, I’ve gotten used to his grand gestures.

She changed directions.

“Taking you somewhere,” she said simply.

Half an hour later, the bright yellow Lamborghini was parked at the entrance of the night market.

“Someone actually drove a sports car here to… sell flowers?”

“Those roses look high-quality. They must be over 100 yuan per flower.”

“Seriously? That’s way too expensive.”

Ning Xin’er overheard the passing conversations and immediately grabbed a megaphone.

“Flowers for sale! Five yuan per rose! Five yuan each!” she announced.

Girls passing by stopped in shock.

Only five yuan for flowers that look this expensive?

“Miss, I’ll take one!”

“I’ll take five!”

More and more people started crowding around.

The business was booming, and Ning Xin’er soon found herself overwhelmed.

She grabbed Huo Jingtian, who was lounging lazily in the passenger seat, and forced him to help.

“You heartless woman! I spent 200 yuan per rose on those, and you’re selling them off like this?!” Huo Jingtian was stunned.

Ning Xin’er shot him a look.

“What else was I supposed to do with them? Haul them to my dorm? Do you think they’d even fit?”

She had told him not to waste money on extravagant gestures.

Besides, she didn’t even like roses that much.

With Huo Jingtian helped her sell the roses. Though… it seemed the customers were more interested in his face than the flowers.

“He’s so handsome! Let’s buy a few to support him.”

“Handsome guy, I’ll take ten roses!”

In just over an hour, they sold out all the roses, except for the bouquet of blue ones.

Ning Xin’er bought two servings of wontons from a street vendor, handing one to Huo Jingtian when they got back in the car.

“You’re treating me to this after selling my flowers?” Huo Jingtian looked at her in disbelief.

They had made a thousand yuan in sales, and she was feeding him… 12-yuan street food?!

And they hadn’t even made back what he spent on the flowers.

“I also got you a bottle of water,” Ning Xin’er added, handing it to him.

Huo Jingtian: “……”

His girlfriend was so generous!

Seeing the disdain in his eyes, Ning Xin’er ignored him completely.

Whatever—she found him ridiculous too. They were even.

At his insistence, she twisted the cap open for him and handed it over.

Just as Huo Jingtian reached for it—

Oops!

The bottle slipped from her fingers, drenching him from chest to waist.

Her breath caught.

Cool water trickled down his torso, soaking through his shirt.

As she hurriedly grabbed tissues to help wipe it off, she suddenly froze.

One, two, three… eight?!

Huo Jingtian didn’t have six-pack abs.

He had eight!
