Exiting System.

Xiao Bei no longer felt any lingering attachment to his past life, nor did he miss his little secretary. His thoughts were filled with anticipation for the future!

Watching the scenery rapidly recede outside the window, Xiao Bei knew that his new life had begun.

In his memories, Xiao Bei was from Ningcheng, Zhejiang Province. However, being an orphan, he wasn't entirely sure if he was truly from Ningcheng.

Today was August 31, 2017, the day Xiao Bei was scheduled to report to Hangcheng University.

"Dear passengers, our next stop is Huiji City Station. Passengers who wish to disembark, please move to the left side of the train doors in advance."

Just as Xiao Bei's thoughts were wandering, the announcement on the high-speed train pulled him back to reality.

Huiji City, Xiao Bei knew about it. After all, he had been a resident of Zhejiang Province in his past life.

Huiji City was a city with a rich cultural heritage, having produced many prominent figures, such as Zhou Shuren – yes, the very Zhou Shuren who famously said, "You arrest Lu Xun, what does that have to do with Zhou Shuren!"

Although Huiji City was a city with strong cultural roots, its geographical location was extremely awkward. It was right next to the provincial capital, Hangcheng, and it was unclear when it would be annexed by Hangcheng.

This wasn't an impossible scenario, as Zhejiang Province had two "rogue" cities: Hangcheng and Ningcheng.

These two brothers had aggressively annexed surrounding county-level cities, causing the nearby cities to tremble, unsure when their "big brothers" would decide to "favor" them.

Soon, the bullet train stopped at Huiji City.

Xiao Bei watched people disembarking outside the window, a slight smile playing on his lips. He inwardly exclaimed, "Youth is truly wonderful."

Today was a special day for students in Xia Country.

It was the day universities in various cities began their academic year.

That's why Xiao Bei was so excited just now – there were many girls outside dressed in light clothing, revealing their fair, long legs. What man could resist such a sight?

At least Xiao Bei admitted he couldn't!

He didn't have many other interests; he just liked looking at girls. He felt restless if he didn't see them for a day!

As Xiao Bei looked out the window, he quickly spotted a young lady. Her profile was very beautiful, and at least her appearance met Xiao Bei's aesthetic standards.

"Zhejiang Province truly is a land of outstanding people and abundant beauties!"

Xiao Bei marveled inwardly.

Just as Xiao Bei was admiring the young lady.

Xiao Bei saw the young lady suddenly look in his direction.

Immediately, Xiao Bei's gaze met hers.

Xiao Bei knew that his past self, upon seeing such a beautiful young lady looking at him, would have unconfidently shifted his gaze away.

He would have even felt a bit guilty, but who was the current Xiao Bei?

He was a former CEO of a listed company, having seen all sorts of gazes: fawning, subservient, seductive, commanding... ah... commanding!

Therefore, when he saw the young lady looking at him, Xiao Bei remained calm and composed, meeting her gaze with a slight smile.

The young lady clearly paused for a moment, then her eyes darted away, and she unconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

As she tucked her hair, she couldn't help but wonder. It was rare for a peer of the opposite sex to meet her gaze and react like the young man just now.

His eyes were clear, without any off-putting feeling.

In fact, she felt a little pleased at that moment, not unhappy that Xiao Bei was looking at her.

After all, to be looked at meant she was beautiful, so why be angry?

However, she didn't know that with anyone else, she would have already put on a cold expression.

So, it really depended on the person.

Soon, it was the young lady's turn to board the bullet train. However, before boarding, she quietly turned her head and glanced at Xiao Bei.

Of course, it wasn't because Xiao Bei was exceptionally handsome, nor was it love at first sight. It was simply curiosity; this young man exuded confidence from within.

This was the benefit of being confident.

When one's appearance is neither ugly nor outstanding, it's the temperament that matters. Don't say that girls are all superficial.

For a first impression, to leave a good impression on a girl, you either have to be astonishingly handsome, like our esteemed readers.

Or you have to be so impeccably ugly that it becomes a different kind of "beauty"!

Because first impressions are crucial. At first glance, people can't even see your internal organs, how can they see your inner self?

So, for people with average looks, it's all about temperament. Temperament, though invisible and intangible, undeniably exists.

Xiao Bei watched the young lady board, feeling a slight sense of disappointment.

He then lowered his head, preparing to browse his phone.

Just then, someone arrived to take the seat next to him, which had been vacated by a passenger alighting at Huiji City. A faint, pleasant fragrance accompanied them.

Xiao Bei curiously looked up.

He then froze, followed by a smile. "Oh, what a coincidence. It's that young lady from before."

It had to be said, what a coincidence.

Xiao Bei looked at the young lady right in front of him. He had known she was pretty from seeing her outside the window, but now, up close, he realized she was truly stunning.

He estimated her height at a perfect 1.68 meters. Her skin was fair and clearly well-cared for. Her facial features were beautiful, especially her eyes, which were large with long lashes.

She had her hair in a ponytail and wore a light blue dress with white sneakers. Her bone structure was lovely, and her exposed collarbones were particularly captivating.

A necklace adorned her neck, giving her an incredibly pure aura. He wondered how many boys considered this girl their ultimate crush.

At that moment, the young lady stood in the middle, holding a large suitcase. He wasn't sure if she planned to leave it there or put it in the overhead compartment.

Just then, the young lady noticed Xiao Bei.

She also seemed to freeze slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Bei smiled and said, "Do you need help?"

"Classmate... could you? Could you help me put my suitcase down?"

The young lady's voice was pleasant and soft. Combined with her looks, she was truly a goddess!

"Sure."

The young lady then stepped aside, and Xiao Bei walked over, hoisted her suitcase onto his shoulder, and neatly placed it on the overhead rack.

"Thank you, classmate!"

The young lady looked at Xiao Bei and said with a smile. She then took out a pack of tissues from her pink bag, pulled one out, and handed it to Xiao Bei.

"Thank you, classmate. You really helped me just now. Your clothes touched my suitcase wheels and got them dirty. You should wipe them."

"Thanks! I'll wipe them thoroughly then!"

Xiao Bei took the tissue from the young lady and then looked at her, saying, "Have a seat first!"
