I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 59: Crazy Pretending [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

"Your IQ now is definitely higher than when you took the college entrance exam."

Bai Chou was driving the car and observed Li Xue, who was constantly pupating beside him, out of the corner of his eye, and complained a little speechlessly.

"If you break the backboard while dunking in basketball, you will definitely spend more time and effort taking pictures than I do." Li Xue retorted confidently.

Bai Chou thought about it and realized that everyone cared about different things. If he dunked the school's backboard, everyone would really rack their brains to think of how to show off.

Ignoring Li Xue, Bai Chou concentrated on driving.

After racking her brains to arrange all the shopping bags, Li Xue raised her mobile phone and started taking beautiful selfies. When taking the photo, she tilted her head slightly to reveal the "Weissach" embroidery on the headrest behind her head.

Li Xue has checked. Weissach is Porsche's R&D center. Among the 911 models, currently only the racing versions of GT3RS and GT2RS can be equipped with the Weissach kit package.

The "Weissach" headrest embroidery is a feature of this package. It is more pretentious than the Porsche crest, but also more low-key.

After racking her brains and taking dozens of photos, Li Xue weighed and compared them repeatedly, and finally chose the one she liked best and posted it on her Moments.

He also wrote: Practicing singing is so tiring, go shopping to relax.

Nine-square grid?
Humph, that's impossible. It's just an ordinary shopping trip. It's just a daily routine for me, Princess Li Xue. It's not worth posting a nine-square grid to show off!

The accompanying text doesn’t even mention brands like Hermès and Prada?

Humph, they're just daily necessities for my little Princess Li Xue, why bother mentioning them? And the logo on the shopping bag is so obvious, can't you see it for yourself?
In the past, Li Xue definitely wouldn't have posted something like this on her WeChat Moments. But after spending an entire afternoon with Bai Chou, watching him treat luxury goods like everyday items, and most importantly, with Bai Chou's temperament and appearance, it's hard to associate him with the nouveau riche...

Under the influence of her surroundings, Li Xue's pretense level improved and she began to progress towards invisible pretense.

When posting on WeChat Moments, Li Xue would just hold her phone with a silly smile, refreshing the Moments again and again, waiting for those slutty bitches to come to her and show off their pussies to her.

Soon, there was a note with Wang Danai’s avatar posting a reply under this circle of friends: Oh my God, Prada, Versace, Hermes... so many big-name shopping bags, did you rob Deji Plaza?
Wang Da Nai, Li Xue had an impression of this person. She was her high school classmate. Her family background was similar to hers. She was not good-looking, but had a very good figure. She was considered her fake sister.

The level of intimacy between them and her is comparable to that of Gu Li and Lin Xiao in "Tiny Times".

Li Xue suppressed the strong desire to show off and did not reply immediately. Instead, she waited for a few more minutes. After a few more fake sisters and bootlickers replied to the circle of friends, she replied to Wang Danai's comment.

"It's not that exaggerated. I just went to Deji Plaza with my friends to buy some clothes. Some of the things were also bought by my friends."

Li Xue emphasized the word "clothes". You see, what we bought were fast-moving consumer goods, not bags. At the same time, she also stated in advance that not all of these things were bought by me.

Soon, Wang Dana replied again: It’s exaggerated for two people to buy so many things. They spent at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. I really envy you for being able to enjoy shopping so much.

"Quack..."

Li Xue squeezed her lips together and laughed like a pig, and continued to reply: We spent about 300,000 in total... One of them was envious and jealous, and wanted to know the details of the shopping, while the other wanted to show off, and was secretly happy under Wang Dana's questioning, so he wrote a short essay under this circle of friends.

Soon, as the two chatted, a sharp-eyed high school classmate finally recognized the "Weissach" logo next to Li Xue's head and asked if she was driving a Porsche GT3RS or GT2RS...

Li Xue then reversed the installation and revealed his shortcomings: "I think so, I'm not sure. Anyway, the styling is quite exaggerated, the interior is very simple, and the back seat is removed. My friend said it was a racing version of the 911 sports car, and I initially thought it was a modification he made later..."

Li Xue held the mobile phone in her hand, and her two long, white legs twitched and bounced from time to time accompanied by pig-like laughter.

Bai Chou drove all the way, and Li Xue pretended to be cool all the way. Generally speaking, Li Xue's pretense was quite natural. She did not exaggerate the real situation too much, and most of the time she told the truth.

She just deliberately blurred the description at key points, for example, not saying how many things she bought herself and how many were bought by friends, so as to make others misunderstand and there would be no risk of being exposed later.

The broadcasting and hosting major can also be considered a journalism major, so Li Xue does have this quality.

However, happy times are always fleeting. Just when Li Xue was getting excited and planning to write another short essay of more than 100 words, he was suddenly brought back to reality by Bai Chou's flat voice.

"We're at school, time to get off the bus."

"Gah?"

Li Xue suddenly raised her head and looked around. It was the familiar ING Plaza. Bai Chou had already parked the car in the parking space of the North Campus. There were also some classmates around, who, as usual, cast their eyes at the exaggerated 911 sports car.

Ah, we’re at school.

Li Xue suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Although she pretended to be cool and took a lot of messy photos, she also followed Bai Chou to experience the feeling of Gu Li in "Tiny Times" by pretending to be powerful.

Logically speaking, she was pretty happy. And even if she returned to reality, her life would be better than 99% of her peers. After all, she could still buy a Prada dress worth more than yuan without any regrets.

Keigo Higashino once said in "White Night Walk": Just because something you once had is taken away doesn't mean you can go back to the time when you didn't have it.

Did she ever have it?
Li Xue didn't know, but she felt a little lost.

"Oh, okay. Just leave me here and I'll go back by myself." Feeling lost, Li Xue put away her phone, nodded, and went to get the shopping bags that had been distributed in advance behind her.

The two silk scarves and a bottle of perfume lying in an Hermès shopping bag clearly told her that, logically, this experience should belong to Kim Hyo-joo, and she was just taking advantage of it today.

The scarf and perfume are both Kim Hyo-joo's, and Bai Chou's Hermès membership limited edition bag quota also belongs to Kim Hyo-joo. After all, Kim Hyo-joo is Bai Chou's official girlfriend.

As Kim Hyo Joo's roommate, she could only run errands, get a silk scarf, and take a few photos to show off in her circle of friends.
