Someone recognized Qin Ge: "Isn't this the aristocratic prince who drove a Rolls-Royce and went viral yesterday?!"
One voice after another said:
"Ah, it really is him."
"I changed to a Maserati today. Although it's not as valuable as the limited edition one that cost over 100 million yesterday, it's still worth seven figures."
"Who is this guy? He's so awesome, driving Rolls-Royces and Maseratis like they're nothing. I wonder which wealthy family in Beijing he is. Compared to Jiang Xibai from freshman year, whose family is richer?"
"To this, I just want to say one thing: Rich guy, do you need any more sycophants? How about you look at me instead?"
"Vulgar! So vulgar! Is money all you see, and are you only interested in cars? Are you ignoring such a handsome young man?"
…
Qin Ge's appearance caused quite a stir on the G University campus.
Even Jiang Xibai knew about it.
His friend held up his phone to show him the school forum, his tone gossipy, "Xixi, do you know this guy? He drove a Maserati to school, and he seems to be some kind of rich young master. Xixi, your family is also wealthy, have you seen him at any banquets?"
Jiang Xibai took a close look at his phone screen and was surprised to find that the handsome young man on the screen was the same person he had seen on the trending topics yesterday.
For some reason, when Jiang Xibai saw him, even just in a photograph, she instinctively felt a sense of displeasure.
It was as if this person would pose some kind of threat to him in the future.
This emotion came out of nowhere, but Jiang Xibai showed no sign of it on his face. In front of others, he had always been gentle, kind, and pure as the white moonlight. How could he show his dislike for someone for no reason?
A slight dislike and sense of crisis towards this person made Jiang Xibai shake his head and say softly, "I don't know him, and I've never seen him at any banquet."
After a pause, the pure-looking boy added, "Perhaps... it's because I don't attend banquets very often."
However, the following sentence is better than nothing.
Jiang Xibai's family, the Jiang family, is a prestigious family in Beijing. He is the most beloved young master of the Jiang family. The celebrities in high society all have their own circles. Jiang Xibai has always been a darling wherever he goes. Everyone welcomes him. Even though the Jiang family is not the most powerful, wealthy, or oldest family in Beijing, Jiang Xibai still has a lot of influence among the noble children.
If even Jiang Xibai says he has never seen this person, who is already identified by his classmates as a young nobleman from a super-rich family, then his wealthy background is highly suspicious and worth investigating.
So, Jiang Xibai's friend anonymously replied to the most popular post on the school forum: "Who knows if he's a real rich kid? Maybe he's a gigolo being kept by someone."
One sentence was filled with undisguised malice.
Jiang Xibai blinked, looking completely innocent and guileless.
He seemed unaware of the wicked things his friend had done.

Those curious, admiring, or well-intentioned glances and comments were not what Qin Ge cared about. He returned to this school simply to settle a debt for the original owner of this body.
Unlike junior and senior high schools, university campuses don't have fixed classrooms and seats. You have to go to the classroom and reserve a seat yourself. The original owner of this body was admitted to G University by the Jiang family by paying money. As far as Jiang's parents were concerned, the original owner's unremarkable grades were already more than enough. As for what major he studied or what he liked, it didn't seem to be within their consideration.
Therefore, Jiang's parents chose the same school, the same major, and even the same class as Jiang Xibai for the original owner.
Jiang Xibai had a good talent for art since childhood and was very gifted in painting. However, the original owner of this body knew nothing about it. She was clueless about the most basic things, such as how to distinguish paintbrushes, how to mix paints, and how to compose a picture on paper. It was very difficult, or rather, painful, for her to learn.
But Jiang's parents already disliked him enough, so how could he possibly tell them that he didn't want to study painting anymore and wanted to change his major?
Having spent the first sixteen years in a small town with limited resources, and being disliked by his adoptive parents, the boy never even had a proper education. No matter how hard he tries in the last two years, the gap in his perspective, upbringing, and etiquette over those sixteen years is something he can't catch up to in such a short time. He doesn't do well in school, has no special skills, and even if he wanted to change his major, what could he learn?
So, I gritted my teeth and kept learning to draw.
This morning, Qin Ge attended Professor Chen's art appreciation class in the large classroom of Sixing Building. Because Professor Chen liked to take attendance in class, if someone was absent or late three times, they would fail the final exam and have to retake it. So when Qin Ge walked in through the back door, there were already quite a few people sitting in the classroom. He immediately spotted Jiang Xibai sitting in the third row of the top student section in the middle of the classroom.
Jiang Xibai was wearing a hooded sweatshirt from a private brand, a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, clean, undyed black hair, porcelain white skin, and cherry-red lips. Individually, his features were not particularly exquisite or beautiful, but together they gave people a comfortable feeling of purity, harmlessness, and kindness.
Even sitting in a crowded classroom, Jiang Xibai seemed to be the center of attention, as if he had an aura surrounding him.
Qin Ge had traveled through many worlds and met all sorts of chosen ones and protagonists of different planes. After a little thought, he quickly realized that the trait Jiang Xibai possessed must be the so-called 'white moonlight halo'.
He went inside.
I randomly picked a seat in the last row and sat down.
While Qin Ge was sizing up Jiang Xibai, little did he know that he had also become the focus of everyone's attention.
The appearance of the aristocratic young master, who was the talk of the school forum, in this classroom was exciting enough.
426L: Ah! The young master is taking Professor Chen's art appreciation class in the large classroom of Sixing Building! I was sitting right in front of him, so I'm sharing this sneaky photo with you ladies! [Photo]
427L: Sister upstairs, hand over the pictures and I won't kill you!
428L: I was so happy to attend Professor Chen's class today. I think Jiang Xibai was there too?
…
The thread then went off-topic, with many people debating whether Jiang Xibai or the young nobleman driving the Maserati was more attractive.
…
Jiang Xibai listened to the whispers around him and the people taking pictures with their phones, but he seemed used to it. Wherever he was, he was always the center of attention.
Jiang Xibai had noticed this since he was a child.
If it weren't for his poor health preventing him from entering the entertainment industry, Jiang Ye wouldn't even be in the picture.
Jiang Xibai lowered his thick, long eyelashes, concealing the deep color in his eyes. His eyelashes drooped slightly on his fair face, making him look even more innocent and harmless.
He knew that this was the best pose he could take, so that even if someone secretly took a picture of him, he wouldn't end up with an unflattering photo...
Jiang Xibai subtly curled the corners of his mouth.
Of course, the smile that flashed across the corner of his mouth was so quick that it was almost imperceptible.
How could someone like him, who is like a first love, be secretly pleased just because someone secretly photographs him admiring and adoring him?
But it turns out that the person the students were talking about so enthusiastically today wasn't him at all?
"Xi Xi, Xi Xi, look! That person is in our classroom..." Jiang Xibai's friend nudged him with his elbow, a tone usually reserved for when others were looking at him.
Jiang Xibai immediately felt displeased.
However, Jiang Xibai suppressed his displeasure due to his gentle demeanor and good upbringing, and turned to look at the back of the classroom in the direction his friend pointed.
Coincidentally, Qin Ge was also looking at him.
Their gazes met in the air from afar.
It felt like destiny.
Qin Ge crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat, her face, which was several degrees more refined than Jiang Xibai's, was as cold as snow.
Jiang Xibai turned around from the front seat, his face and eyes soft, but the inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart rose to its peak when he saw this person in person. He couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his eyes when he looked at Qin Ge.
This scene was captured by a classmate who was secretly taking pictures with their phone, and they forgot to turn off the flash.
The student posted the photo on the forum, and a group of people inexplicably started shipping the cult-like couple, saying they were a perfect match!
They even had a heated debate about whether Qin Ge and Jiang Xibai would be a dominant (or submissive) couple, with Qin Ge definitely being the top and Jiang Xibai's demeanor clearly that of a bottom (or submissive).
Of course, if Qin Ge knew about this, even if people were certain he was the top, he wouldn't be very happy, because Jiang Xibai was not his type at all. Putting him next to Jiang Xibai made him feel offended...
As the class bell rang, Professor Chen walked onto the podium.
This interrupted the exchange of glances between the two.
The once noisy classroom gradually quieted down. Even if students are having a great time on the forum, at least keeping quiet during class and not talking or making noise is the least a student can do to show respect to their teacher.
Professor Chen was pleased with the students' obedience. He pulled out a roster, put on his glasses, and said, "Alright, before we officially begin class, let's take attendance..."
"Jiang Xibai".
"Here." Jiang Xibai raised his hand, answering Professor Chen's roll call while thinking about Qin Ge.
"Su Yu."
"arrive."
"Xuwen".
"arrive."
…
The lengthy roll call was nearing its end.
"Qin Ge".
