Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

The edges of the tissue were clean and soft, with a few faint creases.

He paused for two seconds, then obediently and slowly wiped the sweat from his palms.

After wiping his hands, Lu Xing casually folded the tissue.

He instinctively looked around to see if there were any trash cans nearby.

But it's obviously impossible to put a trash can next to every row of chairs, and he can't possibly stand up and throw away trash during the conference.

So Lu Xing naturally put the tissue into his pocket; littering is not a good habit.

Shen Qingyi kept an eye on him out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing Lu Xing fold the tissues and put them in his pocket, a slight smile quietly appeared in her eyes.

He's still the same person, even though he's ten years younger, he hasn't changed much.

Humph……

This habit is also bad.

I always forget the paper in my pocket, which is a hassle for the person doing the laundry.

On the podium, the leader's speech continued.

Lu Xing had initially tried to listen attentively.

Even in seemingly boring situations, try not to waste time completely.

Some information is hidden in very ordinary words.

For example, college resources, competition directions, and projects that the school will focus on supporting in the next few years.

In his previous life, Lu Xing was too indifferent to these things.

By the time he realized it later, the best opportunity had already passed.

So this time, he originally wanted to listen.

I really want to hear it...

The problem is, the content of the speech on stage is all too familiar.

"Students, you are a vibrant and energetic generation."

"Jiangcheng University has a long history of education and a profound cultural heritage."

"I hope that everyone will stay true to their ideals and beliefs and hone their skills in the next four years of study and life."

As Lu Xing listened, his gaze gradually calmed down.

This feeling is like attending a company meeting in my previous life.

The leader speaks about strategy and mission on stage.

The employees in the audience nodded earnestly on the surface, but their minds were actually completely blank.

Lu Xing is very experienced in this.

He could even predict what the person on stage was going to say next.

really.

The next second, the other person turned a page of the manuscript and said in a more solemn tone:

"University is not only a place to learn knowledge, but also an important stage for shaping personality, broadening horizons, and cultivating morality."

Lu Xing: "..."

Ok.

Word for word.

In short, it's just talking nonsense.

The freshmen in the audience were quite energetic at first.

After all, it was the opening ceremony of the school year, so everyone was somewhat ceremonial about it.

But as time went by, the atmosphere in the auditorium gradually became somewhat tiring.

Some people looked down at their phones, then quickly put them away when the counselor glanced over.

Some people had solemn expressions, seemingly listening attentively, but their eyes were actually unfocused.

The boy to Lu Xing's left is a typical example; he would secretly observe Shen Qingyi at first.

Later, perhaps feeling that continuing to watch would make him seem perverted, he forcibly turned his gaze back to the podium.

Later, he entered a state of blanking out with his eyes open.

Lu Xing even suspected that if someone put a multiple-choice question in front of him, he would most likely unconsciously choose B.

Before we knew it, two different leaders had spoken on the stage.

The host teacher always used a very standard intonation when transitioning between topics:

"Thank you, Principal Li, for your wonderful speech."

"Next, please welcome..."

Then came another round of applause.

Shen Qingyi, sitting next to her, remained upright.

She seemed more patient than most people, her gaze quietly fixed on the podium, occasionally blinking gently.

From the side, Shen Qingyi's eyelashes are very long.

The soft glow of the auditorium ceiling lights cast a shadow under her eyes.

Lu Xing glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, then quickly looked away.

People are strange sometimes.

The more you remind yourself not to care about something, the easier it is for your attention to be drawn away by it.

Like this moment.

He was looking at the podium, but his mind was automatically trying to detect what was happening beside him.

The sound of Shen Qingyi's sleeves gently rubbing together, and the soft rise and fall of her breath.

And there's that faint, delicate fragrance.

Lu Xing silently sat up straighter.

Then, the third leader began to speak.

"Students..."

The tone was steady and the rhythm was gentle.

Lu Xing listened for less than five minutes before finally unable to resist letting out a soft yawn.

He instinctively raised his hand, trying to cover his mouth.

Lu Xing paused just as he raised his hand to his mouth.

He smelled a faint floral fragrance.

If his palm hadn't been right next to his nose, he might not have noticed the fragrance.

Lu Xing was stunned.

My first thought was that Shen Qingyi's fragrance was wafting over.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

Shen Qingyi wasn't wearing perfume, so how could she smell so good that her fragrance could travel for miles...?

Lu Xing looked down at his hands.

That tissue from just now...

There is only one answer!

The tissues Shen Qingyi gave him were the scented kind.

Lu Xing was a little surprised.

He was so focused on wiping his sweaty hands that he didn't notice anything amiss.

Now, upon closer inspection, the fragrance is not the typical strong artificial scent.

Instead, it's faint, like a floral fragrance that's been suppressed and softened.

Clean, gentle, and barely perceptible.

Wow, no wonder she's the school beauty; she even uses high-end tissues...

Lu Xing subconsciously brought his hand closer and smelled it again.

Ok……

He just wanted to figure out what kind of flower it was; he didn't mean anything else.

Jasmine?

Not like.

Gardenia?

It doesn't seem to be either.

Roses are even less likely.

The scent of roses is usually more direct, while this fragrance is much lighter.

Although Lu Xing hadn't studied perfumes and floral scents much in his previous life, he had come into contact with them to some extent after working in the company for a long time.

Some female colleagues like very sweet perfumes, while some client representatives prefer woody scents.

After all, perfume can sometimes play a role in business negotiations and other situations.

But the scent on Shen Qingyi's tissue was different from the others.

Lu Xing pondered deeply.

He was so focused that he was completely unaware of how obvious his actions were to others.

Shen Qingyi was quietly looking at the podium, but her peripheral vision was constantly focused on Lu Xing.

At first, she thought Lu Xing was just yawning.

But it was soon discovered that Lu Xing's movements had stopped in mid-air.

Then, as if he had noticed something, he sniffed his hand.

Shen Qingyi: "..."

Her eyes flickered slightly.

The next second, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

This guy...

He often appears calm, rational, and as if he can control everything very well.

But sometimes, they might react in a silly way.

Shen Qingyi looked at him, the smile in her eyes growing clearer and clearer.

She suddenly turned slightly to the side.

The two were already close to each other.

As soon as she approached, Lu Xing almost immediately noticed the movement beside him.

The clean aura that belonged only to Shen Qingyi became more pronounced.

Before Lu Xing could lower his hand, he heard a soft voice in his ear:

"Does it smell good?"

The voice was kept very low.

But precisely because they were so close, those two words were incredibly clear when they reached Lu Xing's ears.

He could even vaguely sense the breath Shen Qingyi was exhaling.

Lu Xing froze, his hand still in front of his mouth, his gaze fixed in mid-air.

For a moment, he had the illusion that he had been caught slacking off at work by his boss.

Do not……

It's a bit more serious now than that.

Lu Xing slowly lowered his hand.

His movements were slow, as if he was trying to use this deliberate pace to prove that he was not guilty.

But the slight heat rising on his cheeks clearly didn't match his performance.

Lu Xing kept his eyes forward and did not turn his head to look at Shen Qingyi.

"……fragrant."

Shen Qingyi looked at his profile, which was trying to appear calm, and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She gently pursed her lips, suppressing her smile.

Lu Xing, as expected, did not become angry after being discovered.

He wouldn't immediately deny it like some people do, nor would he deliberately feign impatience to cover up his embarrassment.

This person will only grit their teeth and, with a self-righteous attitude, express their true thoughts.

It's as if simply being calm enough makes people think he's not nervous at all.

The more Shen Qingyi thought about it, the funnier it became, and she couldn't help but hum inwardly.

hum.

Meng Sao.

Lu Xing had no idea what she was thinking.

But he could vaguely sense that Shen Qingyi seemed to be in a good mood.

Although she sat up straight again, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Lu Xing caught a glimpse of the curve of her lips and felt inexplicably helpless.

Having handled so many complex requests, dealt with so many difficult clients, and interacted with people of all kinds of personalities.

But in front of Shen Qingyi, he always finds himself in a kind of... inexplicable sense of passivity.

The problem is that this passivity doesn't make him feel resentful.

On the contrary, it's a bit...

and many more!

Lu Xing stopped himself in time; it would be dangerous to think about it any further.

The boy on the left secretly looked up again.

He first looked at Lu Xing, then at Shen Qingyi.

Then his expression gradually became complicated.

What just happened?

Why would that ridiculously beautiful girl suddenly lean in and talk to this guy?

The atmosphere between these two doesn't seem like that of strangers...

The boy remained silent for a moment, then silently lowered his head.

Tsk.

He felt he shouldn't be sitting here today.

This location doesn't seem very friendly to single people.

Lu Xing also noticed the gaze of the classmate on his left.

But he could only pretend not to notice, because some things only get stranger the more you explain them.

Applause erupted in the auditorium once again.

Shen Qingyi sat beside Lu Xing, her expression still cool and quiet.

But only she knew that at this moment, the lighthearted feeling in her heart was almost impossible to hide.

The auditorium's air conditioning was on, so cold that Shen Qingyi couldn't help but shiver.

It was so low that it reminded her of that torrential rain.

Shen Qingyi lowered her eyes, gently bit her lip, and curled her fingertips slightly.

so good.

You are right here now.
