Liu Qingyan sat in Xiao Bei's seat.
Xiao Bei sat in Liu Qingyan's seat.
The man looked at Xiao Bei before him and immediately felt the urge to teach this little brat a lesson, but he held it back and fell silent.
There was only a trace more displeasure in the way he looked at Xiao Bei.
At that moment, not only was Xiao Bei comfortable, but Liu Qingyan felt much better too!
It felt wonderful not to be disturbed!
At that moment, the train started moving again.
Liu Qingyan leaned close to Xiao Bei and softly said, "Junior, you're really smart!"
However, Liu Qingyan did not realize that her posture with Xiao Bei looked a little intimate at that moment.
Especially Xiao Bei. Once he caught the faint fragrance on Liu Qingyan and felt her breath by his ear, he could no longer stay calm!
Liu Qingyan had yet to notice it. She only felt that this rather ordinary-looking junior possessed a bearing and composure beyond his years.
In the situation just now, Liu Qingyan could not have handled it the way Xiao Bei did.
He had resolved the problem without making things awkward.
Just as she finished speaking, Liu Qingyan noticed Xiao Bei's ears had turned red. Only then did she realize that her actions seemed a little too intimate. Her pretty face immediately flushed as she sat back in her seat and turned to look out the window.
But soon, she turned back to look at Xiao Bei.
Seeing her junior's instinctive reaction and his flushed, shy face, Liu Qingyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
That reaction... Could it be? Was her junior still a virgin? Had his little bull never been unsealed?
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan looked at Xiao Bei, brushed back her silky hair, leaned slightly closer, and asked, "Junior, you... you haven't dated before, have you?"
Faced with Liu Qingyan's flirtatious counterattack, Xiao Bei looked at her, met her gaze openly, and said calmly, "No."
There was nothing to deny, nor was he wrong. The previous owner of this body had indeed been a virgin!
"Mainly because I've never met anyone as beautiful and elegant as you, Senior."
Xiao Bei continued speaking. She had just flirted back at him, so naturally he had to flirt back right away.
If they kept flirting back and forth, wouldn't that make things happen?
After saying that, Xiao Bei calmly looked at Liu Qingyan. Hearing him, Liu Qingyan realized that her junior had flirted back at her?
Yet she did not feel uncomfortable in the slightest. On the contrary, she felt a little secretly delighted.
Her cheeks reddened slightly as she said shyly, "Hmph, a junior's mouth is a lying ghost. You talk so sweetly, so there must be no shortage of girls around you!"
"Senior, are you saying you've tried my mouth? I didn't even know my mouth could lie."
"Alright, I'll admit you know how to talk!"
Hearing that, Xiao Bei seized the opportunity to ask, "Senior, you're so beautiful. You must have dated too, right? Your boyfriend is probably very handsome?"
Xiao Bei asked that deliberately because he wanted to know whether this lovely young woman had a boyfriend. Although he liked flirting with girls, he had his own principles.
That was, he would absolutely never flirt with a married woman!
When Xiao Bei asked that, Liu Qingyan said aggrievedly, "I want to date too, but I haven't met anyone as elegant as you, Junior!"
After saying that, Liu Qingyan blinked her beautiful eyes, smiling as she looked at Xiao Bei.
"Wow, then that's perfect. I'm single, and you're single. Want to make a pair?"
Xiao Bei knew she had just been flirting with him, so he deliberately said that. No matter how confident he was, he did not believe Liu Qingyan would immediately fall for him.
At most, she had a favorable impression of him. There was still a long way from that to liking him. Since he already knew the answer, he might as well flirt!
Let's see who could outflirt whom.
"Hmph, Junior, you've shown your true colors. I was only joking!" Liu Qingyan said inwardly, secretly delighted.
"Senior, your studies must be quite demanding, right?"
Xiao Bei changed the subject. From what she had just said, he could tell Liu Qingyan wanted a relationship but had never dated, and she was already a third-year student.
If she wanted to date but had not done so, then the reason was probably that she did not have the time.
Hearing that, Liu Qingyan's eyes widened as she looked at Xiao Bei in confusion. "Junior, you're really smart. How did you know?"
Liu Qingyan was surprised because many people held certain prejudices against art students.
They thought art students had plenty of free time, dressing up beautifully every day, checking in at cafés, and living refined Moments lifestyles.
But that was not the reality.
"Because I know studying art isn't easy. Though I don't know your exact major, I think anyone involved in art who wants to achieve something and has dreams will work very hard!"
"After all, compared with studying, art is difficult too. Not everyone can learn it!"
Xiao Bei analyzed calmly.
Liu Qingyan was so shocked that she could not say a word.
At that moment, Liu Qingyan once again discovered how different Xiao Bei was.
Logically speaking, prospective college students might be adults, but they had still been sheltered in the ivory tower of high school.
Their understanding of college, or society, could not be all that extensive.
Yet the boy before her could actually see her exhaustion.
For some reason, in that instant, Liu Qingyan felt both happy and aggrieved.
She was happy that her junior understood how difficult things were for her, and aggrieved that so many people did not understand how hard they worked.
"Junior, you're right. I don't have much time. Art is not only difficult to study, but realizing one's dreams in the future is just as difficult."
"Especially since my school is one of the country's top temples of art. That means the competition is fierce, and everyone is outstanding."
"Rather than competing with my classmates, it would be more accurate to say that I'm competing with myself!"
"Because I know that if I slack off even a little, things will be even harder in the future!"
"By choosing art, I've already given up one path, relatively speaking!"
"So either I make it, or I don't!"
"Sometimes, when I think about it, I'm terrified. So I really don't have time to date!"
When Liu Qingyan spoke, there was not much emotional fluctuation in her voice. It was as though she were calmly recounting the story of a delicate young woman.
She was persevering for her dream, a dream with no way back.
Clearly, this was not the first time Liu Qingyan had thought this way, because her words were far too calm.
Xiao Bei, however, did not find it surprising or difficult to understand.
In his previous life, he had become a billionaire by fighting his way out from among countless others. He had been lucky, but what about the opponents he had defeated?
Xiao Bei had risen from the bottom.
He knew how heavy the future could be, sometimes so heavy that it was suffocating!
Especially for those born into ordinary families—what could they use to compete with those born in Rome?
How could one person's effort compare to the efforts of three generations?
Ordinary people could not afford to make mistakes, because once they did, it meant utter ruin!
At that moment, Xiao Bei felt a little heartache for the young woman before him. She looked delicate, but she possessed a heart that refused to admit defeat.
If he could, Xiao Bei was willing to become her support!
