After all, Su Bai’s current appearance was at the level of a rising young star.
Add to that the aura of wealth and nobility.
Not just the girls— even guys with more unique tastes found themselves drawn to him...
It was better for Chen Xueba to be with this guy than some wealthy outsider.
Speaking of which...
The mysterious rumor from a while back, the so-called "Xiaoximen Benz Guy,"
had been debunked.
Turns out, it was Su Bai himself!
Everyone had been guessing wildly, but when the news reached Xue Tao’s ears, he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
“The black Mercedes GLE? That’s Su Bai’s car, haha.”
And just like that, Benz Guy Su Bai successfully replaced Xue Tao, the “Magotan Guy,” becoming the new hot topic among freshmen.
Of course, Su Bai was easy to get along with and had no issues in his manners—he was nothing like Xue Tao, who was a genius of another level.
Still, having a nice car as a freshman was definitely something rare.
Many freshmen had already gotten their driver’s licenses over the summer; those who hadn’t had at least passed their second driving test.
At this moment, a few guys in the back row were discussing just how high-end a GLE really was.
Some said it was just a slightly better luxury car than the entry-level models—something even a contractor back in their hometown could drive.
Others argued, “Don’t look down on contractors! With the current job market, after ten years of grinding, they might be doing better than a college graduate from a prestigious school.”
There was some truth to that.
Even graduates from top universities had to face many factors influencing their career paths once they entered society.
“The GLE is definitely a good car,” said a sudden voice joining the conversation, “Of course, I drive a Lotus, but plenty of people who are better and more low-key than me just drive a Benz E-Class or an X5.”
The few guys turned around, puzzled.
They saw a late student entering.
Dressed in dazzling Hermès from head to toe, he was undoubtedly the other wealthy presence in the classroom besides Su Bai.
But unlike Su Bai, this guy’s looks were overly delicate—at first glance, it was hard to tell if he was male or female.
His face also had a somewhat fragile, almost ethereal quality...
“Hey, I don’t think I’ve seen you before. Are you in our Computer Science department too?”
“Yeah, I’m an exchange student from abroad, just arrived in Jiangcheng today.”
They checked their class numbers and confirmed he was indeed in the same class.
Instantly, the other students felt a sense of anticipation, like watching a show.
Clearly, this was another rich guy.
Maybe even stronger than Su Bai.
They had thought the class already had the “Magotan Guy” and “Shanghai Master” as their twin stars.
But now it seemed it wasn’t just twins—
it was the Four Heavenly Kings.
A star-studded lineup, so to speak.
“Who was the one talking about driving the GLE just now?” Liu Chen’ang asked, not bothering with the lecture and chatting with his classmates.
The reason he gave up studying abroad was simple—it was too lonely.
The circle of overseas students was too small and a bit awkward.
And the locals there always felt somewhat distant.
After all, there was a cultural gap.
Home in China was more comfortable—his bros were all talented, and they spoke so nicely.
“Oh, it’s the guy sitting in the front row, next to the black-haired beauty.”
Following their directions, Liu Chen’ang looked over.
His eyes immediately lit up.
Originally, the few classmates had thought he’d glance more at Chen Yusheng.
A beauty with such a unique aura and top grades— even Fu Ge, who’s seen plenty of women, couldn’t help but praise her a little.
But Liu Chen'ang only glanced briefly at Chen Yusheng before fixing his gaze on Su Bai.
And he just wouldn’t stop staring.
“What’s his name?!”
“Uh, Su Bai.”
“Su Bai… what a great name!”
Liu Chen'ang lightly clapped his hands, a look of admiration spreading across his face. “This Su Bai, let me guess—what’s his background? Probably from a business family, right? Not just a rich second generation who lives for pleasure, but someone who’s been involved in the family affairs from an early age. That kind of independent and strong-willed demeanor isn’t something a caged bird would have… Exactly, it’s the aura of a true powerhouse!”
The classmates nearby: … (nervous sweat)
Bro, seriously.
You’re being a bit over the top.
Is this some weird mix of Su Bai’s wealth, Xue Tao’s fancy car, and Chu Mingzhe’s over-the-top attitude?
An exchange student—terrifying indeed!
The classmates immediately felt that the five thousand yuan tuition fee for this year was definitely money well spent.
Not only do we get college classes, but also a live stage show.
Unstoppable.
Another classmate showed a hint of fear and whispered to a friend, “Hey, don’t you think something’s off about this guy? Could he be into guys?”
“Shh, don’t say that… Ignoring the school’s top beauty Chen Yusheng and obsessing over Su Bai like this? That’s just next-level.”
“Forget it, don’t spread rumors. Probably his background’s not something to mess with. Too much gossip might get you in trouble.”
…
One class period passed quickly.
Most students were too lazy to move during the five-minute break; after the break, the class resumed. Two consecutive periods were usually arranged this way.
But Liu Chen'ang seemed to be holding something in for a long time. As soon as the bell rang, he sprang up from his seat and dashed straight for the restroom.
The classmates nearby showed sympathetic expressions.
Hey, you know what, don’t underestimate it.
Though we’re not as rich as him,
at least our kidneys aren’t weak…
“Huff… ha…”
Men’s restroom.
Liu Chen'ang found the stall farthest inside.
After making sure no one else was around,
he carefully began to deal with his problem.
He finished urinating while squatting.
No choice—pretending to be a guy while being a girl is a bit troublesome.
Her real name was Liu Chenyang.
Her constitution was indeed extremely weak, to the point it seriously affected her daily life before.
Her family was wealthy, but her elders were quite superstitious.
They consulted an old fortune teller who concluded that she had to live as a man to reverse her fate; otherwise, her weak health would only worsen and she might die young.
…And so, here she was.
However, Liu Chen'ang believed in modern medicine. She thought her health had improved purely because of proper supplements, going to bed early, getting up early, and exercising regularly…
It had nothing to do with pretending to live as a boy!
The problem was, if she didn’t follow her family’s rules, her parents would stop sending her money.
So.
She had no choice but to comply.
Actually, it wasn’t that inconvenient. After all, she rented a place alone.
No need to worry about weird scenarios like sneaking into the boys’ dormitory as a girl…
The only tricky part was using the restroom.
She could only use the stalls.
So far, nothing had gone wrong.
“Su Bai… huh, an interesting person.”
Liu Chen'ang muttered softly to himself.
Besides the reasons he had chatted about with his classmates in the classroom, there was another—something he sensed instinctively: Su Bai was the kind of person brimming with vitality.
Being around someone like that felt genuinely comfortable.
Even after spending several years abroad, Liu Chen'ang had never come across a guy who looked so effortlessly appealing.
And, as luck would have it, Su Bai seemed wealthy too; surely they would have some common ground?
Liu Chen'ang thought quietly.
It was this kind of guy he truly admired.
As for casually trying to flirt with a beautiful woman now and then—that was just to maintain his “normal male” image.
Like that stunning woman he ran into at the airport yesterday.
If he had walked around the streets with her, no one would have doubted Liu Chen'ang’s orientation.
Too bad she ignored him.
Oh well!
Women like that were just so-so anyway. When he had free time, he could just hang out with old friends at a nightclub and find a lively girl from the atmosphere crew to serve as cover—it worked just as well.
But a man like Su Bai, soaring like an eagle, was truly rare.
