Chapter 215: Chapter 134: The Light Boat Has Passed Ten Thousand Mountains
...
As the end of the year approached, all the major shopping malls started preparing for their New Year’s Eve events.
For Qi Sheng, however, this time of year was the most agonizing.
The last time all the girls had gathered together so harmoniously was for his birthday, and only then as a favor to him.
Normally, each of them wanted to have him all to herself.
Fortunately, Tan Hua and the others were understanding enough.
This allowed him to welcome 2019 in comfort.
It had been four months since his rebirth and his acquisition of the system.
In those four months, his life had changed in earth-shattering ways.
He’d gone from an unremarkable, 178-centimeter-tall fatty to a 187-centimeter-tall god with eight-pack abs.
From a loser earning 6,000 a month to a tycoon raking in 50 million a month.
From having no girl even look his way to now having six gorgeous, top-tier girlfriends.
He also had four beautiful confidantes and one very flirty little secretary.
Reflecting on the changes over the past few months, Qi Sheng couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
What was that saying about a light skiff having already passed ten thousand mountains?
His life was the most vivid example of it.

"Your card ending in 8888 received a deposit of 4,000,000 at 00:03 on January 1 (Family Trust Dividend). New balance: 66,095,173.46. [Construction Bank]"
Qi Sheng was a little surprised when he saw the last bank notification.
He never expected the system to be so generous.
Even his B-Level beauties like Miduo and the others were now generating system rewards.
It wasn’t a huge amount—only 1 million per person each month—but it still made Qi Sheng very happy.
At the very least, he could freeload again, couldn’t he?
’Spending Lord Tong’s money while dating girls for myself... life is good!’
In a great mood, Qi Sheng slipped back into bed.
He brought a chill in with him, causing Tan Hua to instinctively press her body against his.
Yesterday, New Year’s Eve, Qi Sheng had first settled things with the three younger girls during the day.
In the afternoon, he went to see Zong Rui, and the two had dinner together.
He also found time to watch a movie with Pei Yinyin.
It wasn’t until evening that Qi Sheng was finally free to be with Tan Hua.
Because of the special occasion, Miduo and the others hadn’t stayed at Yitai Tianjiao.
This gave the two a rare opportunity to be alone.
The beginning of the evening was quite romantic; Qi Sheng cooked himself.
He prepared a candlelight dinner that moved Tan Hua deeply.
But the after-dinner activities were a bit much for Tan Hua to handle.
Tan Hua lasted two rounds before she started acting cute and begging for mercy.
At that moment, she suddenly missed Miduo and Xu Ying dearly.
Although having them around meant Qi Sheng wouldn’t be hers alone, at least they could help her share the burden.
Holding his girlfriend’s soft body, Qi Sheng’s enhanced Physique immediately stirred again.
"No..."
Snow drifted outside the window, but inside the room, spring was in full bloom.
The two of them fooled around until almost noon before Qi Sheng carried Tan Hua to the bathroom to wash up.
"You’re the worst! Bullying me on the very first day of the new year!"
Tan Hua nestled in Qi Sheng’s arms, her accusation a mixture of coquettishness and genuine grievance.
"Who told you to be so beautiful? Besides, you could say we did it from 2018 all the way into 2019."
Qi Sheng had finally fulfilled his long-held dream from his past life: the New Year’s Eve marathon.
And with a fair-skinned, top-tier beauty, no less. He couldn’t have been more pleased with himself.
"You’re still talking about it! It’s so embarrassing!"
Tan Hua couldn’t stand such shameless talk.
At the time, her mind had been a complete blank, and she’d just dazedly gone along with whatever Qi Sheng wanted.
It wasn’t until after they were finished that Qi Sheng told her about his "New Year’s Eve marathon."
It had made her want to hide under the covers and never come out.
But Qi Sheng was the only boyfriend she’d ever had in her entire life.
She was like a blank sheet of paper, allowing the artist Qi Sheng to freely splash his ink and paint upon her.
She remembered how, while she was on the phone wishing her mom a Happy New Year, Qi Sheng had started his wicked bullying again.
Tan Hua ground her teeth in frustration, digging two crescent-shaped marks into Qi Sheng’s chest.
Fortunately, Han Yueying had reacted quickly and hung up the phone in time.
Otherwise, she would have heard her daughter and son-in-law’s... alternative New Year’s greetings.
"Don’t you ever do that again! It’s a good thing Mom answered. If Dad had picked up, do you think he would have come after you with a kitchen knife?"
Tan Hua felt it was necessary to lay down some ground rules with Qi Sheng.
Otherwise, this guy was just unbelievably audacious.
"AHEM, it won’t happen again."
Qi Sheng rubbed his nose. ’But it really was thrilling at the time,’ he thought.
"Aren’t you going to inspect the store’s renovations today? I want to go see it too."
Tan Hua was very curious about the hot pot restaurant her boyfriend was setting up.
She wanted to see just how extravagant a restaurant with a 25-million-yuan renovation could be.
"Then let’s go."
After washing up, Qi Sheng and Tan Hua changed into a custom-made Chanel suit and matching skirt set, respectively.
When they arrived at the residential complex’s underground garage, a few other residents were gathered around the Cullinan, clicking their tongues in amazement as they examined it.
Qi Sheng’s Cullinan had clearly become the pinnacle of the Yitai Tianjiao underground parking garage.
"BEEP BEEP."
Seeing the car’s lights flash twice, the small crowd of residents quickly made way.
They were even more shocked to see the young Qi Sheng walk over with his arm around the fair-skinned, beautiful Tan Hua.
Only after the Cullinan had pulled out of its parking space did they dare to gather and start whispering.
"Which rich young master is that? To think he’d deign to live in our complex. I feel like I’m not even worthy of being his neighbor."
"Do you even have to ask? He definitely bought the apartment for his girlfriend. His car alone is worth more than our homes."
"His parents probably live in Spring in the Grass Hall. Only a kid raised in a family from a place like that would have this kind of money."
Driving the Cullinan, Qi Sheng also realized something.
He and his neighbors were becoming a bit incompatible.
Even though Yitai Tianjiao was considered a famous luxury residence in Chengdu, there really wasn’t anyone there who could afford a Cullinan.
Anyone with that kind of wealth would have long since moved into a large villa at Luhu Lake or Lushan.
Or, at the very least, they’d live in one of the earliest luxury villa developments like Spring in the Grass Hall.
Yitai Tianjiao, with its entry price of only seven or eight million, was clearly not worthy of his Cullinan.
Qi Sheng smiled and said, "After the New Year holiday, let’s go look at some villas."
"Look at villas?"
Tan Hua didn’t understand why they were suddenly going to look at villas out of the blue.
"Didn’t you think the way those residents were looking at us was a little strange?"
"It was a little strange."
Tan Hua thought about it and couldn’t help but nod.
"Exactly. So, it’s time for us to move."
Qi Sheng squeezed Tan Hua’s small hand.
"Besides, I already bought Zong Rui a villa in Lushan. As my official girlfriend, you can’t have anything less than her, no matter what!"
"Well... okay then."
Hearing Qi Sheng put it that way, Tan Hua stopped hesitating, though she felt a little reluctant.
"But we just moved in not long ago, and I put so much effort into decorating everything. I’d be really sad to sell it now."
"Who said we have to sell this apartment just because we’re moving into a villa?"
"Huh?"
Tan Hua was confused. "Aren’t we buying a villa? That’ll cost tens of millions. Shouldn’t we sell this place to help pay for it?"
"It’s just an apartment worth a little over ten million. We can keep it and stay here occasionally, or we can have your parents and grandmother come live here and enjoy a comfortable life later on."
Qi Sheng had no idea how much of an impact those words had on Tan Hua.
She didn’t have to sell the apartment she loved, and her boyfriend even wanted her parents and grandmother to move in.
This feeling of being so deeply cared for made her gaze at him with eyes full of adoration.
"Thank you, honey."
Taking advantage of a red light, Tan Hua leaned over and offered him a sweet kiss.
"HONK HONK HONK~"
Not until the car behind them started honking did the two reluctantly part, sharing a knowing smile.
Perhaps, from that moment on, they had transitioned from a couple in the throes of passion to a family that cared for one another.
Just as Qi Sheng had so naturally suggested having Tan Hua’s parents and grandmother come to live there.
He didn’t treat them like outsiders at all.
Of course, the fact that Qi Sheng wasn’t short on money was a factor.
But the foundation of their relationship also played a decisive role.
Without a deep emotional connection, who would invite their partner’s family to live in a luxury home worth tens of millions?
It was because Tan Hua understood this that she was so moved.
She thought about how her mom had been nagging her again during New Year’s Eve.
Tan Hua touched her flat stomach.
’I’ll have to work hard in the new year and try to give Qi Sheng a ’pig baby.’ Right now, their "family" already has ten people. If I don’t hurry up and have a baby to make Qi Sheng settle down a little, I’m afraid he’ll end up with three Gongs, six courts, and seventy-two concubines someday.’
