After hearing Ji Qinglan's words, Xiao Bei finally realized he was still holding her.

But honestly, after feeling the beauty in his arms—

He was instantly stunned.

If he had merely been looking at Ji Qinglan's figure before, now he had truly felt it.

It was incredible!

Still, Xiao Bei quickly let go of Ji Qinglan.

The two of them were both rather awkward at that moment.

Ji Qinglan's face was red, and her heart was in complete turmoil. She had truly never had such intimate contact with someone of the opposite sex before.

Xiao Bei, on the other hand, was secretly delighted.

"Um, sorry about that just now!"

Xiao Bei was the first to speak, breaking the atmosphere.

"It's... it's fine. You were only trying to save me, Junior Brother. I've already taken the measurements. I'll have the first draft and renderings ready within a week!"

Ji Qinglan's words were somewhat insincere at that moment.

At first, Ji Qinglan had looked Xiao Bei straight in the eyes whenever she spoke.

But now, her gaze was flustered, and she did not dare look at him.

Xiao Bei smiled faintly. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister. Oh, right, Senior Sister, let's add each other on WeChat. It'll be easier to stay in touch then!"

Xiao Bei still decided to take the initiative. There was no reason not to go after a beauty like this.

"Mm."

Ji Qinglan then took out her phone and exchanged WeChat contacts with Xiao Bei.

"Junior Brother, are you free right now?"

After adding him on WeChat, Ji Qinglan looked at Xiao Bei with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Bei looked at Ji Qinglan in confusion.

"Can you give me a ride back to school? I didn't drive!"

After saying that, Ji Qinglan looked a little uncomfortable and shy.

She really had planned to catch a ride back to school with Xiao Bei earlier, but after what had just happened, she had intended to take a taxi back herself.

Yet for some reason, when the words left her mouth, they became a request for Xiao Bei to drive her back.

At that moment, Ji Qinglan felt incredibly bashful.

"What's the big deal? Of course, I'll take you!"

Xiao Bei smiled at Ji Qinglan, thinking to himself: Little Girl is getting shy!

Hangcheng University and Hangcheng Academy of Fine Arts were indeed very close, standing directly across from each other.

They were separated by only one road.

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

At five in the afternoon, a car with a powerful roar slowly pulled up at the entrance of Hangcheng Academy of Fine Arts.

It drew the attention of many people.

Some who knew nothing about cars saw that it was a Mercedes and said disdainfully, "It's just some crappy Mercedes. Why make such a huge fuss?"

"Damn, bro, you're really rich. You're calling an AMG S63 a crappy Mercedes?"

When a man mocked Xiao Bei's car to the girl beside him, a car-savvy guy nearby immediately laughed.

"Is this car really that expensive? Isn't it just a Mercedes?"

Seeing that he had embarrassed himself in front of his girlfriend, the man hurriedly argued back.

"This car costs enough to buy a Ferrari Roma. It's over 3.5 million after everything's included. People who drive Ferraris might not own other cars, but someone driving this definitely owns more than one. They're keeping a low profile!"

"Wow, so the person in that car is some big shot?"

"So Mercedes has cars this expensive too!"

The people around them whispered among themselves.

Inside the car, Xiao Bei looked at Ji Qinglan and said, "Senior Sister, let's keep in touch. If there are any issues with the design, feel free to talk to me!"

Ji Qinglan was still caught up in what had happened earlier and had not fully recovered. Throughout the drive, she had not dared speak to Xiao Bei.

Yet from time to time, she would sneak glances at him.

"Oh, ah, okay. Goodbye then, Junior Brother. Once the drawings are ready, I'll come find you at your school."

Ji Qinglan came back to her senses and said to Xiao Bei.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you, Senior Sister."

Xiao Bei said meaningfully. Ji Qinglan had kept one delicate hand on the door handle the whole time. Hearing him, she smiled faintly. "I won't keep you waiting long."

"Goodbye, Junior Brother!"

"Goodbye, Senior Sister!"

With that, Ji Qinglan got out of the car.

Some students had been watching the car the whole time, and when they saw Ji Qinglan step out, they were all stunned.

"Wow, isn't that Campus Belle Ji?"

"Could it be that Campus Belle Ji has fallen for sugar-coated bullets too?"

"Bro, what are you thinking? Campus Belle Ji's family background isn't simple. Besides, her Qinglan Design Company makes a lot of money every year, okay?"

"Seriously... Her looks are better than ours, and she's more capable too!"

While everyone was discussing it, Ji Qinglan had already shut the car door and was about to enter the school. The Ji Qinglan who had been a little shy in the car instantly turned into an iceberg the moment she got out.

She had long become immune to the chatter of the students around her.

"Senior Sister, your bag!"

At that moment, Ji Qinglan heard Xiao Bei call out from behind her.

Ji Qinglan paused slightly and looked at herself. Sure enough, her bag was not on her.

When she turned around, Xiao Bei had already gotten out of the car and walked up to her.

The moment Xiao Bei got out of the car, the students watching from nearby immediately cried out in surprise.

"Wow, that guy is so handsome!"

"Standing together, they're practically a perfect match!"

"Handsome and rich... Sigh, what a pity we don't have a chance. He's already taken!"

"Why does that guy look kind of familiar to me?"

At that moment, a Hangcheng University student standing beside his girlfriend from Hangcheng Academy of Fine Arts muttered quietly.

Then, as if he had remembered something, he logged into Hangcheng University's Campus Network on his phone under his girlfriend's puzzled gaze.

"Wow, isn't that Xiao Bei, the new freshman Campus Heartthrob?"

As if he had discovered a new continent, the boy excitedly snapped a secret photo of Xiao Bei hanging Ji Qinglan's bag over her arm.

Just then, Xiao Bei had appeared in front of Ji Qinglan.

"Ah, Junior Brother, thank you!" Ji Qinglan said as she reached for the bag.

However, she was holding Xiao Bei's office building documents and could not free up her hands.

"Senior Sister, let me put it on for you."

Ji Qinglan had originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, she nodded instead and said softly, "Okay, thank you."

And so came the scene of Xiao Bei putting Ji Qinglan's bag on her.

"Senior Sister, I'll be going now."

Xiao Bei smiled at Ji Qinglan. Whenever Ji Qinglan faced Xiao Bei now, her heart could not stop racing.

Her face flushed as she nodded.

This scene left the surrounding students staring in shock.

"Wow, what did I just see? Was Campus Belle Ji blushing?"

"So goddesses can get shy too!"

"Isn't that obvious? Goddesses fart too!"

"Damn, I know who that guy is!"

"Who?"

"Xiao Bei, the freshman Campus Heartthrob of this year at Hangcheng University!"

Because the two schools were close to each other, some girls would occasionally browse Hangcheng University's Tieba.

Back then, a single photo of Xiao Bei had caused a sensation not only at Hangcheng University, but also at Hangcheng Academy of Fine Arts.

It was not surprising that someone recognized Xiao Bei. What was surprising was this—was Ji Qinglan, the number one Campus Belle of Hangcheng Academy of Fine Arts, actually together with Xiao Bei?
