Super Doctor - Chapter 115

Xu Ze watched with a sullen expression as Sun Linfei snatched his car keys, her face alight with excitement as she slid into the driver’s seat. He couldn’t help but ask, puzzled, “What about your own car? Why do you have to take mine? I haven’t even had enough fun with it yet…”

“Xiao Rui needed my car for some errands today…” Sun Linfei replied as she started the engine, feeling the Maserati tremble lightly under her hands. A flicker of excitement crossed her face as she pressed the accelerator, and with a roar, the car shot forward, leaving Xu Ze with a helpless, bitter smile.

Meanwhile, on the fifteenth floor of Building C, a delicate-looking girl sighed softly as she gazed down from the window. “Feifei, you’d better think this through… Xu Ze is great, but if you really fall for him, who’s going to help you then?”

Sun Linfei steered the car smoothly out of the neighborhood gates, speeding toward the university a few hundred meters away.

“Haha… A new car really does feel amazing…” Miss Sun laughed cheerfully, while Xu Ze sat beside her, still sulking.

Once inside the campus, the Maserati glided slowly along the tree-lined paths. Streaks of sunlight filtering through the leaves danced across the silver-gray body of the car, casting dazzling reflections that caught the attention of countless onlookers.

Many eyes were drawn to the sleek convertible and its two occupants, quickly recognizing them as the pair who dominated the top of Xing University’s popularity rankings. The sight of the campus’s most dazzling couple sparked waves of admiration—and, in some cases, envy.

“If only I were a little better-looking, maybe…” someone muttered under their breath, though they couldn’t finish the thought. After all, good looks alone weren’t enough—Zhang Tianyu was just as handsome as Xu Ze, yet he had pursued Sun Linfei for so long without success.

Xu Ze had spent his first two years at university in obscurity, only recently bursting onto the scene like a brilliant star. But in just half a year, he had accomplished things no other male student could match. Perhaps only someone like him truly deserved Sun Linfei. At that realization, most could only sigh in resignation, leaving behind nothing but envy.

Sun Linfei brought the car to a gentle stop in front of the second cafeteria and turned to Xu Ze. “We’ve got time. Want to grab some breakfast first?”

“Of course,” Xu Ze shrugged, raising an eyebrow with a grin. “If I skip breakfast, I get cranky…”

“Then what are we waiting for? My treat,” Miss Sun declared with grand generosity.

“Hah… Alright, then. Today, I’m eating an extra shaomai to make up for the gas money you just wasted,” Xu Ze said as he stepped out of the car, shaking his head.

“Cheapskate…” Sun Linfei couldn’t help but laugh at his exaggerated miserly expression, playfully pouting her lips in a way that left several passing boys gaping in awe.

With that, she tossed the keys back to him. “Fine, take them. You drive later, so you won’t have to whine about it. Wouldn’t want you stuffing yourself sick and then blaming me.”

Xu Ze caught the keys, chuckling. “Whatever. Today, I’m having five shaomai and two bowls of pickled vegetable soup.”

“…Go ahead and burst, then.” Sun Linfei rolled her eyes cutely and headed up the steps to the cafeteria.

As the two walked side by side, they drew plenty of attention. Though rumors about them had circulated before, sightings of them together were rare—and even when they were seen, there always seemed to be a certain distance between them, making their relationship feel unreal.

But this morning, they had stepped out of the same car, looking unmistakably close. Had their relationship really progressed this far? The onlookers could only watch with burning envy.

Xu Ze and Sun Linfei, however, paid no mind to the stares, chatting and laughing as they entered the cafeteria.

The second cafeteria was packed at this hour. After weaving through the crowd and finally securing a table, Sun Linfei turned to Xu Ze with a teasing smile. “So, five shaomai and two bowls of soup, really?”

Xu Ze scratched his head and grinned sheepishly. “Uh… Never mind. Let’s make it four shaomai and one bowl. Skipping breakfast ruins my mood, but overeating does too…”

Once Sun Linfei went to buy breakfast, three figures suddenly materialized beside Xu Ze, plopping down next to him. Luozi, wide-eyed with admiration, slapped Xu Ze’s shoulder. “Dude, where’d you spend the night? Spill it.”

“Nowhere… We just rode in the same car today,” Xu Ze answered honestly, seeing no reason to hide it from his three best friends.

“Really? Just the car? Nothing else?” Fatty asked, blinking skeptically.

“Really,” Xu Ze laughed at their eager curiosity.

After his repeated assurances, the three finally believed him. But then Gangzi suddenly reached over and straightened Xu Ze’s collar, grinning. “Man, you’ve struck it rich, huh?”

“Whoa—yeah! You really have!” Luozi eyed the logo on Xu Ze’s shirt, then took in his obviously brand-new jeans and sneakers. Normally, Xu Ze never wore anything over a hundred yuan, and his shoes never cost more than three hundred. But today’s outfit had to total nearly two thousand.

“My honorary grandfather gave them to me,” Xu Ze explained with a smile, seeing no reason to keep it a mystery.

“Your honorary grandpa… Oh, right…” The three weren’t surprised. Given the ultra-luxurious Mercedes limo from before and the obvious importance Xu Ze held in that man’s eyes, gifts like this were hardly unexpected.

Just then, Sun Linfei returned with breakfast. Seeing the three sitting across from Xu Ze, she took a seat beside him and smiled. “You’re all here?”

“Yeah, we just finished eating and saw you guys,” the three replied hastily, offering awkward smiles.

“Want to join us?” Sun Linfei set the tray in the middle, placing a bowl of soup in front of Xu Ze and taking one for herself. She gestured to the ten shaomai on the plate. “I got extra when I saw you.”

The three were momentarily stunned by how affectionate Sun Linfei was acting toward Xu Ze, but they quickly snapped out of it. Breakfast with the campus belle? Aside from Xu Ze, who else had that kind of luck? Might as well enjoy the perks while they could.

Seeing there were plenty of shaomai to go around—clearly bought with them in mind—the three didn’t hesitate, each grabbing one as they chatted with Xu Ze and Sun Linfei, waiting to head to class together afterward.

After breakfast, the five left the cafeteria. Sun Linfei turned to Xu Ze with a smile. “I’ve got class in Building Four, just over there. I’ll go on my own.”

Xu Ze glanced at Luozi and the others—their burly frames were more than enough to deter any would-be troublemakers—and nodded. “Alright, I won’t walk you then.”

Their exchange left the three friends momentarily baffled—until Xu Ze pressed the remote in his hand, and the dazzling convertible below beeped twice in response. Luozi gulped, staring at the car. “Dude… Whose car is that?”

“My honorary grandfather gave it to me yesterday,” Xu Ze replied casually.

“Wait—this too?!” The three gasped in unison, gaping at him.

Once Xu Ze confirmed it, they exchanged glances before suddenly whooping with excitement and bolting toward the car.

Though Xing University was one of the nation’s top schools, with plenty of students driving to campus, high-end sports cars were a rare sight. News of Xu Ze’s Maserati spread like wildfire.

Soon, posts appeared on the university forum by car enthusiasts: Maserati GT convertible—not yet available domestically. Estimated price: over 2 million. Owner: Xu Ze.

The buzz this generated was a testament to Xu Ze’s prominence at Xing University. A thread featuring photos of him driving onto campus quickly went viral, with shots of Sun Linfei and Xu Ze arriving together that morning included.

Reactions varied. Some doubted Xu Ze could really own such a car, but others countered with firsthand accounts—like overhearing him confirm it to his roommates outside the cafeteria.

There were also those who pointed out that despite Xu Ze’s humble background, after fainting during the Tao Xiao court incident, he had been whisked away by a middle-aged man in a luxury Mercedes limo—reportedly the secretary of a highly influential elder in Xu Ze’s life. Given that, the car being his wasn’t far-fetched.

As the forum buzzed with speculation, the news also reached certain individuals outside the campus through deliberate channels. Several influential figures in Xing City who had been monitoring the university received updates swiftly.

Vice Mayor Zhang Yi, in his government office, was the first to hear. Enraged, he smashed a jade paperweight on his desk. “That old fool from the Tang family actually values that little brat so much? It seems we’ll have to reconsider our approach…”

Meanwhile, in the capital, Sun Linfei’s father, Minister Sun, received reports of his daughter and Xu Ze arriving on campus together that morning—along with a detailed dossier on Xu Ze.

“Has Feifei really become so reckless?” Minister Sun’s eyes flashed with anger as he opened the freshly faxed documents.

“Xu Ze… The Tang family patriarch’s honorary grandson?”

“What is Old Man Tang playing at? And the apartment he arranged—right across from hers on the fifteenth floor?”

His thick brows furrowed tightly as confusion clouded his expression.
