Whether men actually became more handsome after finishing the adolescent years of high school was, honestly, a rather mystical question.
If they were talking about girls, though, there was no doubt that they became prettier.
After all, once the college entrance exams were over, they quickly learned makeup and beauty filters.
Meanwhile, boys merely spent the vacation thoroughly researching "the best-value 3,000-yuan dorm PC build"... or playing Dota or League of Legends all summer.
That did nothing to improve their looks... no, if they stayed up late gaming, it actually made them look worse.
As for life after school started, that was even harder to judge.
During military training, most boys did not wear sunscreen.
So after freshman year began, it might have been the lowest point of many boys' attractiveness...
Could it be that Su Bai's peerless looks had gradually begun to reveal themselves with time?
Xia Lin felt that was probably the only explanation.
Because Su Bai really did look more striking than the last time she had seen him.
Handsome men were much rarer than beautiful women, after all, so they stood out even more.
"Want to do morning exercise together?"
"Mm, sure."
"You've been keeping up with your workouts lately, right? That's great. Look at your classmates—how many of them can keep getting up early?"
"...Haha."
Su Bai smiled casually and did not offer any sharp commentary. If his physical fitness were not absurdly good, he would not have been able to get up early either. Self-discipline was difficult; fortunately, all he needed to do was indulge himself.
He deliberately slowed down and jogged beside Xia Lin, shoulder to shoulder.
Xia Lin was not slow when she ran. It was just that compared to Su Bai's usual all-out sprinting pace, her speed seemed quite leisurely.
