After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 546

Shan Caiwei pushed open the door and entered, holding a stack of documents. She reported, "President Lin, I've arranged today's itinerary. There's nothing special planned for this morning. Would you like to continue resting at the hotel, or..."

She paused, looked up at Lin Ling, and seeing his calm expression, tentatively added, "Or perhaps we could go somewhere else for a walk?"

Lin Ling put down her teacup, turned to look at her, and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Yunnan University isn't far from here, is it?"

Shan Caiwei was taken aback, then nodded: "Yes, it's only a twenty-minute drive. You want to go take a look?"

"It's good to clear your head."

Lin Ling said calmly, his tone revealing little emotion.

He picked up the sunglasses from the table and put them on, revealing a deeper look in his eyes behind the lenses: "Get the car ready."

Shan Caiwei responded and turned to make the arrangements.

Half an hour later, a low-profile black sedan stopped in front of the hotel. Lin Ling got into the back seat, while Shan Caiwei sat in the passenger seat. She glanced back at him and, seeing that he was resting with his eyes closed, wisely kept quiet.

The car slowly drove into the main gate of Yunnan University. Tall plane trees lined both sides of the road, their lush foliage almost blocking out the sky above.

The driver parked the car in the school's parking lot, Lin Ling got out of the car, and Shan Caiwei followed closely behind.

The campus was bustling with activity. Students who had just finished their morning classes walked out of the teaching buildings in twos and threes. Some were holding textbooks and discussing in hushed tones, while others were wearing headphones and hurrying on their way.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, mixed with the aroma of food wafting from the distant cafeteria, carrying a unique vitality that belongs to a university.

Lin Ling stood by the roadside, his hands in his trench coat pockets, his gaze casually sweeping over his surroundings.

Standing beside him, Shan Caiwei couldn't help but sigh, "Student days were so much better. We were young, full of energy, and just looking at us made me feel relaxed."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ling's lips curled slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips: "You find it relaxing, but I find it noisy."

Shan Caiwei paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "President Lin, your personality is really... But then again, with so many students, it is indeed a bit noisy."

She paused for a moment, then said, "How about we walk further in? There's a small lake over there, the scenery is nice, and there aren't many people there."

Lin Ling didn't object, nodded, and started walking in the direction she pointed.

Dan Caiwei followed behind him, her gaze inadvertently falling on his back.

Lin Ling stood tall and straight, the hem of her trench coat swaying slightly with her steps, revealing a pair of long, slender legs, exuding an innate aura.

She suddenly felt that Lin Ling seemed somewhat out of place standing on the campus—

He was aloof and profound, a stark contrast to the youthful energy around him.

The two walked along the tree-lined path for a while when they suddenly heard a quarrel.

Lin Ling stopped, and Shan Caiwei also stopped, both looking in the direction of the sound.

Not far away, a young couple was standing by the roadside. The boy was wearing an ordinary sweatshirt and carrying a backpack, while the girl was wearing a light-colored wool coat and carrying a delicate little bag.

The two seemed to be arguing fiercely, their voices gradually rising, attracting the attention of passing students.

"Zhang Hao, can you please stop being so stingy?"

The girl's voice was sharp and tinged with grievance: "You think it's too expensive to go out for a meal, but you insist on making me squeeze into the cafeteria with you. Do you know that my friends all laugh at me?"

The boy frowned, his tone somewhat impatient: "Where would I get money? My monthly allowance is so little, what more do you want from me? Unlike you, I don't have money at home that I can spend as I please."

The girl sneered, crossed her arms, and glared at him: "If you don't have money, don't pretend. You keep telling me you'll give me a good life in the future, but what happened? You can't even afford to treat me to a decent meal. You don't feel ashamed, but I do!"

"What do you mean?" the boy raised his voice slightly. "Are you saying I'm poor?"

"Yes, I just think you're poor!"

The girl didn't back down, and her tone became increasingly harsh: "You're poor and you don't work hard, all you do is play games all day, and you even tried to manipulate me by telling me not to be materialistic. Don't you think you're ridiculous?"

Upon hearing this, the students watching the commotion erupted in low chuckles.
