The students of Finance Class 1 also noticed the unusual scene on the basketball court.
Though they stood steadily in formation, their gazes drifted in that direction.
Everyone in Class 1 was immediately surprised, then turned to look at Xiao Bei.
They all knew that girl, after all. She had made Campus Hot Search with Xiao Bei.
Besides, she was from another university. If she had come to theirs, she had to be here to see Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei also saw Ji Qinglan, and a smile appeared on his lips.
That morning, Xiao Bei had still been wondering why Ji Qinglan had not come, but the afternoon's events had quickly driven it from his mind.
During military training just now, Xiao Bei had even wondered whether she had stood him up.
Now, it seemed Ji Qinglan was clever. She knew that military training should be ending around this time, so she had come over.
Ji Qinglan was dressed beautifully today as well.
She wore a light-blue Chanel dress and a pair of little white sneakers, carrying a cup of milk tea in one hand and holding a sun umbrella overhead.
Xiao Bei had sent Ji Qinglan his location that morning.
When Ji Qinglan entered the basketball court, she began looking for Finance Class 1 and quickly found them.
She also spotted Xiao Bei, who stood out from the crowd.
Her previously expressionless face immediately broke into a smile.
Ji Qinglan's appearance naturally caused a stir. The boys were all hot-blooded young men, while even the girls felt inferior when they looked at her.
Ji Qinglan had a powerful presence, one no ordinary student could compare to.
Instructor Gao saw this, then glanced at Xiao Bei in his formation and smiled faintly.
Instructor Gao then exchanged looks with several instructors from the neighboring classes.
They were no fools. They had heard the discussions within the ranks just now, and besides, they had eaten Xiao Bei's watermelon and drunk his bottled water. They ought to look after him a little.
People of the Xia Kingdom valued reciprocity.
So Instructor Gao directly announced, "Attention, everyone! You performed very well today. There are twenty minutes left, so rest where you are!"
"Yeah!"
"Nice! Suddenly, I think Demon Gao isn't so bad!"
"Haha, that's called social etiquette. Unlike you—you don't understand favors, only accidents!"
Ji Qinglan had not expected to arrive at just the right time, but she did not know that the whole effect came from Xiao Bei's high emotional intelligence.
Ji Qinglan walked over to Finance Class 1, stood to one side, and waved at Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei smiled slightly and ran out of formation. However, instead of going straight to Ji Qinglan, he first went over to Instructor Gao.
"Instructor Gao, I'll head over there first!"
"Go on, go on, brat. Your girlfriend is really pretty!"
Scratching his head, Xiao Bei said, "Not yet. I'm still working on it!"
Hearing that, Instructor Gao's eyes shifted. "Brat, work hard!"
"I will!"
After greeting Instructor Gao, Xiao Bei went over to Ji Qinglan.
At once, students from all five classes on the basketball court turned in unison to look at Xiao Bei and Ji Qinglan.
"Wow, I suddenly realized there's a reason Ji Qinglan can be the main wife!" Chen Siying said as she looked at Wang Meina.
"She's so beautiful. If I were the class monitor, I'd make a move too!" Yang Yuhan said with a faint smile.
"What do we do? They look so perfect together. Maybe only a woman like the Campus Belle could be worthy of our class monitor. He's just that outstanding!" Ye Qiaoning said.
"Damn, Fourth Brother quietly dropped an atomic bomb on us!" Zhang Zhibo said enviously.
"It had to be Fourth Brother. No comparison—rich, handsome, and fucking emotionally intelligent. How could that gorgeous girl not fall for him?"
After Wang Wei spoke, he turned to look at Li Siying.
"Hehe, it's only right for Fourth Brother to be so awesome. I'll settle for second best and chase Yang Yuhan instead!" Hu Jilong said, panting heavily.
The moment Xiao Bei reached Ji Qinglan's side, she noticed the sweat on his forehead.
She took out a tissue from her small black Hermes bag.
"Have some milk tea first. Is military training tiring?" Ji Qinglan handed Xiao Bei the milk tea while wiping away his sweat.
Xiao Bei smiled. "It's fine. I can handle this much."
Their actions instantly made everyone envious.
"Damn, Xiao Bei from Class 1 has it way too good!"
"If you had his looks and ability, you could win a goddess's heart too. But you don't, so just watch!"
"Ahhh, girls, did you see that? The main wife is wiping our class monitor's sweat!"
"What do we do? Logically, we should be jealous, but I just can't help shipping them!"
Neither of them paid any attention to the chatter around them.
Ji Qinglan looked at Xiao Bei with amusement. "What do they mean by 'main wife'?"
Smiling, Xiao Bei told her what had happened earlier in the girls' dormitory. There was no need to hide it. This was the final push—if he concealed it and she found out afterward, he would only die a worse death.
It was better to be open about it. A girl with high emotional intelligence would know he was joking and might even feel proud.
Look, this is my man's charm. Of course, Xiao Bei was not Ji Qinglan's man yet, but he was close enough.
"How did you get here? Did you walk? Are you hot?" Xiao Bei asked concernedly as he looked at Ji Qinglan.
"I'm fine. I said I'd come see you. Oh, I came up with a plan. Once your military training ends, let's discuss it!"
Ji Qinglan smiled. After they had held hands last night, she was clearly much more at ease around Xiao Bei now.
By saying this, Ji Qinglan also wanted to spend a little more time with Xiao Bei.
"Alright. You've worked hard. You can take your time with it!"
Just as Xiao Bei was about to say something else, Instructor Gao's voice suddenly rang out.
"Xiao Bei, what talents do you have? Show us something! Class 5 just performed their talents!"
While Xiao Bei and Ji Qinglan were being affectionate, activities had already begun on the military training grounds.
Some people had gone up to dance, others had performed crosstalk, and some had sung.
Xiao Bei turned to look at Instructor Gao and saw him giving Xiao Bei a meaningful look.
Of course, Xiao Bei understood what Instructor Gao meant.
So he smiled and nodded.
Turning to Ji Qinglan, he said, "I'm going to perform something. How about you come with me?"
"Ah, me?" Ji Qinglan looked at Xiao Bei in surprise.
"Yeah. It's still too hot standing here. There are fewer trees over there, but it's better than this spot!"
After saying that, Xiao Bei did not wait for Ji Qinglan's reply. He naturally reached out, took her hand, and led her over.
With her hand in Xiao Bei's, Ji Qinglan suddenly felt shy. Then, like a little wife, she lowered her head and followed Xiao Bei over.
