Liu Qingyan finished speaking and quietly looked at Xiao Bei, waiting for his response.

But the next second, Xiao Bei suddenly broke into a smile.

"Senior Sister, you study in Modu while I study in Hangcheng. So next time I go to Modu, I'll look for you! You have to take me out to play!"

Liu Qingyan was taken aback, thinking to herself, this Junior Brother is really a big blockhead. Am I asking you where to play?

Shouldn't you be responding to me properly right now?

What kind of thought process is that?

Once she regained her senses, Liu Qingyan looked at Xiao Bei with a hint of melancholy.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly, his gaze still calm, exuding confidence and clarity as he met Liu Qingyan's eyes.

"Hmph, if you come to Modu, I won't take you out to play!"

Liu Qingyan acted a bit proud.

At that moment, Liu Qingyan suddenly felt a bit empty inside. Maybe her Junior Brother was just a little more mature than his peers.

"Besides, as artists, we need to not only excel in our profession but also maintain our figures, so unfortunately, I can't indulge myself too much. Therefore, I can't accompany you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bei smiled slightly, a hint of admiration in his gaze as he looked at Liu Qingyan.

She's beautiful, cute, and very disciplined—she really is a Treasure Junior!

As a pirate, I'm taking this treasure!

"Sometimes, blindly pushing oneself might not be the best approach. Dreams are precious, and the process of achieving them can be tough."

"It's important to balance work and rest. Who knows, you might find inspiration while having fun?"

Xiao Bei said casually, and upon hearing this, Liu Qingyan looked at him deeply.

The earlier gloom lifted in an instant.

So it turns out, her Junior Brother wasn't ignoring her; he just planned to respond through his actions.

At that moment, Xiao Bei shone brightly in Liu Qingyan's eyes!

Liu Qingyan wasn't a naive rookie; on the contrary, she was emotionally intelligent and quite clever.

She understood what Xiao Bei meant.

Although this Junior Brother was younger, he handled things more maturely compared to many others.

In contrast to the boys at her school who looked handsome but acted childish, being with Xiao Bei was clearly more comfortable.

Because he was someone who could respond to her, making their interactions free from awkwardness.

"What you said makes sense!"

Liu Qingyan smiled sweetly, her dimples making her look even more charming.

Xiao Bei smiled back and then took out his phone.

"Senior Sister, let's add each other on WeChat. When I go to Modu, I'll contact you!"

It was so natural, without the awkwardness of forcing a connection.

Xiao Bei's actions left Fatty beside him in shock, his eyes nearly popping out.

Is this how you flirt?

Liu Qingyan also readily exchanged numbers and WeChat with Xiao Bei.

After they added each other, Xiao Bei saw her profile picture: it was her in a red dress, standing on stage playing the violin!

Oh, a Violin Senior Sister?

"Alright, Junior Brother, I'll save you as 'Stinky Junior'!"

Liu Qingyan said playfully.

After saying that, she shot a teasing look at Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly and saved her as "Little Seven"!

While he was saving the contact, Liu Qingyan was secretly watching.

When she saw that Xiao Bei had saved her as "Little Seven," she pouted, "Okay, Junior Brother, who are those little beauties numbered one to six?"

"Hehe, Senior Sister, why do I feel a hint of jealousy in the air?"

"Ugh, who's jealous of you!"

Liu Qingyan's face flushed slightly, and she spoke while avoiding his gaze, then asked, "Come on, tell me, who are one to six?"

"Can't tell? Junior Brother, you're quite the ladies' man!"

Xiao Bei smiled at Liu Qingyan and said, "Want to know why I chose 'Little Seven'?"

Liu Qingyan looked at Xiao Bei, curiosity shining in her eyes, and nodded.

"Because I really like a saying: if three parts can offset the past, then leave seven parts to accompany you through the years, don't you think that's romantic?"

After Liu Qingyan finished listening to Xiao Bei's explanation, especially the last part about "leaving seven parts to accompany you through the years," her face immediately flushed, and she hurriedly looked down at her phone.

What's going on, Junior? Is this a confession? Should I accept it? But that Stinky Junior is quite smooth!

In fact, Liu Qingyan didn't know that the reason Xiao Bei gave him that nickname was that he had just seen a girl watching TV on her phone earlier.

When he came across that phrase, he decided to use it directly.

But Liu Qingyan was unaware of this; judging by her instincts, she felt like she was being flirted with.

To be honest, she couldn't resist such a fresh and romantic approach from a Junior.

What girl wouldn't want a little more romance from her future partner?

At this moment, Liu Qingyan's feelings for Xiao Bei shot up.

So, she subtly changed his nickname in her contacts to: Treasure Junior!

After making the change, she shyly stole a glance at Xiao Bei, and when she saw he hadn't noticed, she let out a sigh of relief.

Then, she put down her phone and said in a normal tone, "So Junior, now that you're in Modu, make sure to contact me, and I'll take you out for some fun!"

"Sure, for sure! When I get to Modu, I'll be counting on you, Senior Sister!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, Senior Sister will definitely make sure you have a great time!"

The two exchanged smiles, and a certain emotion intertwined in the air.

Xiao Bei didn't rush into a relationship; after all, good things take time.

Similarly, although he felt confident about himself, it didn't mean he was arrogant.

Pursuing a girl should happen naturally; never cling too tightly. Keeping a proper distance might actually be better.

Meanwhile, Fatty was seething as he watched the two exchange phone numbers and make plans for Modu.

He glared at Xiao Bei, gritting his teeth, unable to understand why this guy, who was at best average-looking, seemed to flirt so effortlessly.

Where did he go wrong? The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

Just then, the train's announcement sounded, signaling that they had arrived at Hangcheng Station.

Fatty didn't linger for a moment; he stood up and left, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he might explode from frustration.

Xiao Bei and Liu Qingyan also heard the announcement.

At that moment, there was a clear sense of reluctance in Liu Qingyan's eyes.

"Stinky Junior, you must come find me in Modu!"

"My heart full of joy is coming to an end here, but I hope that you and I can have a new chapter. Just don't forget me when that time comes, Senior Sister!"

Xiao Bei thought for a moment and said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyan smiled and nodded.

Then, Xiao Bei stepped off the high-speed train under Liu Qingyan's reluctant gaze!

Standing on the platform, Xiao Bei looked at Liu Qingyan inside the train.

Liu Qingyan was also watching him.

Xiao Bei made a gesture for a phone, and Liu Qingyan nodded slightly.
