That being said...
In today's society, the beauty standard doesn't seem to favor overly muscular men.
So refined "pretty boys" like Liu Chen'ang still have quite the market.
Case in point—after getting in the car, Zhou Jialu habitually scrolled through her phone and saw a WeChat group discussing whether Su Bai or Liu Chen'ang was more attractive.
"Look, junior, you've even made it into the Finance School's group chats," Zhou Jialu showed Su Bai her phone.
"Wait, how do you still have time to browse your phone? Weren’t you the one who was even more excited than me earlier, saying you couldn’t wait to experience the passenger seat of a Panamera?" Su Bai teased.
"Ah, well, now that I’m actually sitting here, it’s not that big of a deal. Hehe, it’s just that you’ve been spoiling me with too many surprises lately, junior."
Zhou Jialu wore a delighted expression, making Su Bai unable to resist pinching her cheek.
In response, Zhou Jialu would obediently nibble on Su Bai’s fingertips or flick her tongue lightly against the back of his hand.
Every little gesture was irresistibly seductive.
Still, the discussion in that group was pretty amusing.
Both Su Bai and Liu Chen'ang were freshmen in the Computer Science department, while that group happened to be for Finance majors, who were complaining about not having any joint events with the Computer Science students.
"Pfft, not long ago, they were saying guys in STEM are too dull and lack romance," Zhou Jialu scoffed. "Let’s be real—it’s all about looks."
"Oh? Then what do you look at, senior?" Su Bai smirked, slanting a glance at her.
"Hmm… Well, obviously, I admire how my junior is 'talented and loaded'—and also how handsome he is~"
Zhou Jialu answered with complete sincerity.
"This car is brand new, but I’m sure other girls will ride in it eventually. So… I want to be the first girl you mess around with in here."
After forcing out those words, Zhou Jialu immediately flushed crimson, her face practically dripping with shyness.
Deep down, she was quite traditional and innocent.
Even so, she couldn’t help wanting to stake her claim first.
Girls cared a lot about symbolic things—various "firsts" and "onlys."
This was also the foundation of how Su Bai managed his relationships with the girls around him. Each had different priorities, but he made sure to fulfill their desires accordingly.
Su Bai actually agreed with Zhou Jialu’s suggestion.
But he deliberately kept a straight face and said coolly, "Senior, you’re being pretty domineering. How come the 'first time' in this car automatically goes to you? Didn’t even consult the other girls."
"Hey, it’s just good timing! Look, the weather’s perfect, the car’s a dream to drive—how can you even resist?"
True enough.
There was no denying that a fully loaded Panamera with all the sport packages delivered an exceptional driving experience.
Luxury brands really did have their unique appeal.
Of course, that was assuming cost wasn’t a concern…
If price was a factor, then domestic electric vehicles these days were seriously impressive.
"Wait, now that I think about it, isn’t car manufacturing crazy expensive? What if I started a company to build cars—"
"Uh, hello? It’s way too late to enter the market now! Stop changing the subject, junior!" Zhou Jialu grew impatient, pouting like a feisty little fox. "Just say yes! Please? Pretty please?"
Honestly.
Su Bai couldn’t handle Zhou Jialu when she was this sweet yet clingy.
So he drove the car onto a deserted stretch of road, turned onto a side path, and parked in a secluded spot by the fields…
A luxury car, a beautiful girl, and an ice-cold cola.
This, apparently, was the life of the wealthy.
……
About an hour later.
"Hey, Bai, you’re kinda slow—what took you so long? I was getting impatient."
Back at the auto show venue, it was now Liu Chen'ang’s turn for a test ride.
She hadn’t just missed out on the interior—she’d never experienced a Panamera with all the sport trims either.
Liu Chen'ang’s parents were strict. Superstitious as they were, they didn’t completely indulge her spending habits.
According to her, she currently drove a Lotus EMEYA, a somewhat niche million-dollar electric sports sedan.
Her family owned pricier cars, but her parents wouldn’t let her go wild with them.
"Besides, this Panamera costs nearly three million after taxes. To the older generation, that’s just burning money. They prefer splurging on high-end brands’ base models—totally clashes with my car philosophy."
Liu Chen'ang sighed.
Su Bai understood—this rich girl wasn’t lacking funds, just at odds with her parents’ financial mindset.
This kind of generational divide was common, whether among the wealthy or ordinary folks.
"Don’t worry, I think we click. When it comes to cars, we’re on the same wavelength." Su Bai felt a spark of excitement too. "If you ever have cool ideas, I’ll fund the mods. We can experience them together."
"Whoa, seriously? Then thanks in advance!"
[Ding! Detected S-tier beauty Liu Chenyang (Liu Chen'ang). Affection +3. Current affection: 78.]
Liu Chen'ang beamed.
Clearly, this girl wore her heart on her sleeve—straightforward, a little dorky, but refreshingly genuine.
Su Bai calculated silently. Liu Chen'ang’s affection had already hit 78. Two more points, and at 80, he could bind her for spending rebates.
Playing around with cars with her would be the perfect excuse to splurge—not aimlessly, but on modifications, something any guy would love.
As for how to raise those last two points, Su Bai wasn’t in a rush.
After all, Liu Chen'ang was the one making moves.
He just had to keep interacting with her naturally.
Except…
Why did it seem like Liu Chen'ang had been sniffing the air periodically since getting in the car, her face lighting up with delight each time?
Su Bai was baffled.
Meanwhile, Liu Chen'ang was in high spirits.
The car carried a scent most vehicles didn’t have.
One was distinctly feminine—no doubt from Zhou Jialu’s presence earlier.
The other matched the aura Su Bai exuded: brimming with masculine vitality.
Well… let’s just say our girl Chenyang had a thing for that.
"Chen'ang, do you have seasonal allergies or something? Why do you keep sniffing?"
"Ah! N-no, I just—"
Flustered, Liu Chen'ang worried Su Bai might think she was a creep.
So she deflected, "Uh, I just really wanna drive this thing… You mentioned you have a racing license?"
"Yep, sure do, buddy!"
"Then show me what you’ve got. Let’s see some speed…"
Su Bai was curious.
And this stretch of road was perfect—smooth and empty.
