Chapter 97 : She Hoped This Moment Could Last Forever
Bei Yaoyue hadn't lied to her. The umbrella was indeed very large, completely sheltering both petite figures, even making Xifeng somewhat suspect Bei Yaoyue had come prepared.
Otherwise, who would carry such a large double umbrella alone? Wouldn't that be having nothing better to do?
Students around them kept running quickly toward the school exit with backpacks held over their heads, trying to get home or into taxis before getting completely soaked. However, most people without umbrellas still chose to wait in the teaching building for parents to pick them up or for the heavy rain to stop.
"Tap tap tap..."
Rainwater struck the umbrella, splashing beautiful rain flowers. Water droplets slid down the umbrella surface, falling around them.
Perhaps because the rain was too heavy, under the rain's cover, everything around seemed to become much more hazy, as if they were in a dreamlike fairyland. In a trance, Xifeng even had the illusion that only this umbrella remained in the entire world, along with that patch of ground beneath it.
And in this fairyland, there were only her and Bei Yaoyue.
Suddenly, a hand landed on Xifeng's shoulder, gently pulling her over.
Xifeng's body trembled, her face slightly reddening, but she made no resistance, letting Bei Yaoyue hold her like embracing a little girlfriend.
Feeling that skin pressed tightly against her own, even though the surrounding temperature was much lower than usual, Xifeng still felt warm all over.
Their current position looked extremely intimate. Xifeng couldn't help wondering—if classmates saw them, would there be misunderstandings?
But after all, they were sisters. Being a bit intimate was understandable, right?
...
Yes... we're sisters...
Thinking this, Xifeng's mood immediately dropped considerably. She unconsciously bit her lip, as if wanting to bite it through.
If possible, she really wanted to escape... escape to a world with only the two of them, even though she clearly knew such a world would definitely not be happy.
But at least, no one would get hurt.
Noticing Xifeng's strange emotions, Bei Yaoyue patted her shoulder and asked gently, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing..." Showing a light smile, Xifeng shook her head, driving those sad thoughts from her mind.
Bei Yaoyue was right beside her—what was there to fear?
Thinking this, Xifeng nuzzled into Bei Yaoyue's embrace. Seeing this, Bei Yaoyue also showed a doting expression as she caressed Xifeng's head, watching her make comfortable sounds and couldn't help but smile.
If only... this rain could keep falling forever.
Xifeng thought this way.
She really wanted to stay forever under this umbrella with Bei Yaoyue, staying in this dream where no one disturbed them and only the two of them existed.
Until the end of the world.

Shortly after leaving the school gate, Bei Yaoyue stopped beside a car. She released Xifeng's shoulder and said, "Get in."
"Is this your family's car?"
This was a gray sedan. Xifeng looked it up and down, feeling this car was ordinary to the extreme, completely unlike what rich people like the Bei Yao family would buy. The only thing that looked somewhat upscale was the steering wheel logo on the front.
"It's my car, but I'm not of age yet so I can't get a license and have never driven it." Opening the rear door, Bei Yaoyue held the umbrella, creating a passage for Xifeng to enter the car. "It usually just sits parked at home."
Xifeng curiously looked inside the car. The back seat wasn't the common three-person bench seat, but two independent seats—quite rare.
"Good evening, Young Miss, Second Young Miss."
Just after getting in the car, the person in the driver's seat turned around, smiling and greeting them both.
It was a young woman who looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, reasonably pretty, with capable short hair, wearing a business suit and showing a standard professional smile.
Holy crap! A personal driver!
Xifeng exclaimed internally. In all her years, this was the first time she'd actually seen the existence of a personal driver—because the social level she'd lived in before was really too low, calling it the bottom of society wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.
And that "Second Young Miss" made Xifeng's mind somewhat dazed.
Xifeng had originally thought Bei Yaoyue's family would come pick her up, but thinking about it, Bei Yaochen and Kisaragi Ichika were each busier than the other—they probably didn't have time to personally drive and pick people up.
The salary for hiring a personal driver was probably just the cost of one dinner for the Bei Yao family.
"Mm." Bei Yaoyue responded coolly to the driver's greeting.
Toward everyone except Xifeng, she was basically this indifferent, too lazy to say even one extra word.
She leaned back in the leather seat and introduced to Xifeng: "She's my driver. Just call her Sister Li."
Nodding, Xifeng also relaxed her entire body, collapsing like a pile of mud into the seat.
So comfortable.
Xifeng enjoyably narrowed her eyes. She felt these car seats were more comfortable than her thousand-yuan gaming chair.
Only then did she notice that behind the two front seats, there were actually two huge touchscreen displays, similar to car-mounted tablets.
All of this indicated this was definitely not some cheap car, so Xifeng couldn't help asking: "What kind of car is this?"
Bei Yaoyue thought for a moment, shook her head, and said: "Ask Sister Li, I can't remember."
Rolling her eyes at Bei Yaoyue, Xifeng turned to look at Sister Li. Before she could speak, Sister Li preemptively said: "In response to Second Young Miss, it's a Mercedes-AMG S65L."
"Oh..."
Pretending to understand, Xifeng nodded. Actually, she knew nothing about these so-called car models, so she asked again: "How much does this car cost?"
Although she didn't understand cars, if she knew the price, Xifeng could roughly judge the car's quality.
"Not expensive."
"How much is not expensive?" Xifeng thought about it and suggested a number: "Two hundred thousand?"
Stunned for a moment, Bei Yaoyue slowly shook her head, using her fingers to make an OK sign. Of course, that wasn't OK—it meant three.
Xifeng pondered: "Three hundred thousand?"
Bei Yaoyue was speechless. What kind of Mercedes could three hundred thousand buy...
"It's three million." Bei Yaoyue corrected.
"Three million!?"
This enormously large number stunned Xifeng. This was almost equivalent to all the compensation money her parents received when they died in the car accident.
Spending so much money to buy a transportation tool that could be bought for a hundred thousand... Xifeng said she really couldn't understand. Weren't they all just means of transportation? What difference was there between buying one for a hundred thousand versus three million?
Recalling this car's extremely ordinary appearance, Xifeng couldn't help but sigh—this was probably what they called low-key luxury.
