Xia Lin actually only thought of coming to find Su Bai after he asked her that question about the outdoor association.
Ah, how should I put it...
It felt like the probability of Su Bai running into older female students and getting hit on was quite high.
It wasn't so much about what Su Bai thought, but mainly his current aura and overall vibe. He looked very appetizing—exactly the type most loved by mature women who had been working for a few years, had their passion gradually worn away, and desperately needed to return to campus to find their youth.
Su Bai's mindset was clearly very young, but he wasn't immature. For a man, this was actually a very rare state to be in.
After all, young, innocent guys only became mature after being tempered by bad women, but once they reached that level, they tended to like looking for innocent younger girls.
This was probably a cycle!
But Su Bai was impressive; he was naturally a bit wicked.
So Xia Lin came over anyway. Since everyone would see her acting together with Su Bai during the camping trip tomorrow, it didn't matter whether she kept a high or low profile.
She was Su Bai's god-sister, after all. Ever since she got used to operating under this identity, Xia Lin's actions had become increasingly bold. Her shyness and reserve as a wealthy young lady had gradually transformed into a different kind of affection.
After driving away the woman named Lin Weiwei, Xia Lin sat down next to Su Bai.
Unlike the calm Su Bai, Xue Tao was very afraid of the counselor's intimidating presence.
Xia Lin wasn't actually fierce, but when dealing with students other than Su Bai, she carried a gentle yet unquestionable aura.
So Xue Tao prepared to slip away.
"Hello, Xia... Brother Bai, I'm going up front to find someone to team up with."
"Oh."
Su Bai looked at Xue Tao's nervous appearance, which was just like a high school student seeing their homeroom teacher.
He didn't know what there was to be so nervous about.
Then again, it seemed Su Bai was naturally unafraid of authority figures. Even in high school, he wasn't afraid of the teachers and even treated a few young teachers like brothers.
Ever since he bound to the system, he had become even more arrogant.
"That Lin Weiwei, when I first enrolled, she happened to be in the graduate student union, in charge of literary and artistic performances. She was even the host for the school anniversary," Xia Lin commented sharply.
"Ah, really? No wonder her pronunciation is so clear and round, a bit like a broadcaster." Su Bai looked like he understood. "Her figure is also really nice."
"Little brother, if you like girls with clear pronunciation and good figures, there are plenty around you."
"That's true!"
"Back then, every time Lin Weiwei acted as a host and changed male partners, she would flirt with them. She even got caught booking a hotel room with a junior male partner while she had a boyfriend. Tsk tsk, it caused quite a stir back then. I can't believe she still has the nerve to come back to the school to participate in activities."
"She's that wild? Impressive." Su Bai looked at the slightly teeth-gritting Xia Lin. "Xia, why are you telling me this? I don't care about that Lin Weiwei. She hit on me, not the other way around. Are you afraid I'll be seduced by her?"
"No way, you aren't that naive."
"Oh."
It really felt like Su Bai's "oh" was full of sarcastic undertones!
Xia Lin was a bit annoyed. She reached under the table and pinched the soft flesh around Su Bai's waist, but she couldn't bear to pinch hard.
Just like when Chen Yusheng kicked Su Bai with her black-stockinged feet, it was also soft and gentle. Same principle.
When a girl really likes a boy, she will occasionally want to lightly hit him, hug him tightly, or grab his hand or arm and giggle... Of course, a lecture hall wasn't the most suitable place for giggling. Xia Lin still maintained the reserve expected of a counselor.
Seeing that Su Bai ignored Lin Weiwei, Xia Lin was in a great mood. She told Su Bai that after the lecture ended, they would go eat together, and after eating, they would go buy clothes.
"Buy what clothes?" Su Bai didn't quite react in time.
"To wear for camping tomorrow."
"Oh, about that. When I bought the tent, I actually ordered a few windbreakers along the way..."
"Those are just backups. If you really want something you like, don't you have to go shopping in person? How would you know if you like it without trying it on?"
"True."
Since he was free tonight anyway, he would just let Xia arrange things.
Su Bai actually quite liked having things arranged by her. Having a caring older sister plan the itinerary for you was always better than racking your own brains.
The lives of the rich were actually quite dull and boring to some extent.
For dinner, they found a Michelin-starred Sichuan restaurant, the kind that serves individual portions. It cost over two thousand per person, not including the service charge. It was the kind of place that looked completely lacking in cost-effectiveness at first glance. However, Su Bai felt that this kind of place actually suited him. Since it was an all-you-can-eat style, he could just look at the menu and check off whatever interested him.
The portion size for each dish wasn't very large, and Su Bai felt he could taste the entire menu.
"Little brother, you could go participate in a big eater challenge."
"Really? I feel like it's just okay. I didn't order too much this time," Su Bai said sincerely.
It was true; he had held back. At first, when the waiter saw him order so much, they even specifically reminded him that he might not be able to finish it all.
It wasn't out of fear of waste. In a restaurant where the average cost per person was in the four digits, they generally didn't care about waste. The main focus was on providing excellent service, and this was just part of the normal service process. Su Bai told the waiter not to worry, he could finish it.
"If you came home with me and ate my mom's cooking, she would definitely be thrilled. She always used to complain about my small appetite," Xia Lin laughed.
"There are moms who complain about their daughters' small appetites?"
"Yeah, she feels like I don't eat with relish, so she doesn't get any sense of accomplishment. She said she definitely has to find a son-in-law with a good appetite in the future."
"Haha."
Su Bai didn't know if Xia Lin was dropping a hint.
Doing the math, Xia Lin was currently in her first year of graduate school. After the new year, she would be twenty-three, an age where parents frequently urged marriage. According to Xia Lin herself, her parents didn't pressure her much, but who knew if they might occasionally make a passing remark?
Parents being understanding of their children was one thing, but conversely, Xia Lin had the kind of personality that was very understanding of her parents.
So Su Bai played dumb and buried his head in his food.
After dinner.
The two arrived at a slightly remote shopping mall. It was quite far from Jiangcheng University, even crossing into another district.
Several top-tier sports brands were clustered in this mall.
The mall also had a commercial basketball court, a tennis court, and an ice skating rink.
They had even hosted some small, recreational competitions.
It wasn't until Su Bai entered the mall that he realized he recognized the background of the courts here. It seemed that a few minor basketball influencers in Jiangcheng frequently filmed their skits here, no wonder the background was so familiar.
Oh right.
Those guys also did mukbangs on the side.
Their main gimmick was being big eaters.
It felt like they were in the same lane as Su Bai, except Su Bai wasn't an influencer.
They were doing independent media and actively seeking fame. Su Bai was followed by some nosy netizens and became famous passively. It was completely different.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!
