Lin Xian looked ahead; they had already arrived at the school gate.

Because the counselor had already notified them in advance, the security guard simply raised the barrier, allowing the two cars to enter the campus one after the other.

...

"Why is it a combined lecture hall?"

After Lin Xian met the counselor, the latter cheerfully pulled him to the entrance of the largest combined lecture hall in the College of Arts.

"Wait, wait..."

Lin Xian stopped and grabbed the counselor:

"You said it was a small lecture."

"Oh! Anyway, you're just sitting there and talking! Does it make a big difference whether there are a few people, dozens of people, or hundreds of people sitting below?"

The counselor forcibly pulled Lin Xian inside:

"You've hosted school anniversary galas with tens of thousands of people; what are you afraid of with this small scene?"

"It's just that I didn't expect the response to be so strong! I thought there would be at most a hundred people, so I prepared a regular classroom... But who knew that female students from freshman to senior year would be rushing to come!"

"Ahem... To tell you the truth, only girls came; not a single boy."

The counselor grinned mischievously:

"I think some are here for Rhine Cat, and some might be here for you!"

"Heh," Lin Xian said dismissively:

"What would they come for me for... I don't have anything."

"What don't you have!"

The counselor gestured up and down:

"You have the looks! You have the height! You have the charisma! And how much can you get from the copyright income of this Rhine Cat?"

"I really don't know about that yet; it hasn't been distributed."

"It's definitely not a small amount! All kinds of toy merchandise are so popular; you're easily a millionaire? And so young, and a senior! Young, rich, handsome, and dashing; how could these young girls not be curious?"

"Okay, stop flattering me," Lin Xian said, breaking free:

"Aren't you just afraid that I'll run away and not give the lecture... I'm already here; how can I run?"

"Hehe. Reliable!"

The counselor smiled and gave a thumbs up:

"I'll treat you to dinner tonight! You really saved my face this time! My prestige among these freshmen will be through the roof!"

...

The counselor strode into the combined lecture hall, clapping his hands:

"Everyone, welcome, welcome! 2022 College Outstanding Graduate, School Anniversary Gala MC, Creator of Rhine Cat, MX Company Executive—your Senior Lin Xian is here! Let's give him a round of applause!"

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!

Enthusiastic applause rang out in the lecture hall with hundreds of people!

Lin Xian smiled and walked into the classroom...

Good heavens, a veritable Spider Cave.

Although the College of Arts itself had a severely imbalanced ratio of females to males, Lin Xian had never seen a scene like this, filled with sweet fragrance.

"Hello, junior sisters."

"Hello, senior!"

Hundreds of female university students gathered in the room, chirping and laughing incessantly, with many girls waving their Rhine Cat dolls to welcome Lin Xian.

After a brief introduction by the counselor, the lecture began.

"I am honored to be back at my alma mater after graduation to share my design work experience with you..."

"The design of Rhine Cat was more of a sudden burst of inspiration, but if there are any techniques, I think it is more about accumulating and capturing design elements in daily life..."

...

After half an hour of speech and more than 40 minutes of Q&A and interaction, this "Senior's Glorious Return to Alma Mater" lecture concluded successfully with applause.

As soon as it ended, a group of girls surrounded him, crowding Lin Xian, who was standing in front of the blackboard:

"Senior, senior! Add me on WeChat! I still have some design questions I need to ask!"

"Senior Lin Xian, I'm graduating this year; can I add you on WeChat to ask about career planning questions?"

"Senior, I also want to work at MX Company! Can I add you on WeChat to submit my resume first, hehe."

"Hehe~ Senior, please sign my Rhine Cat~"

?

An extremely familiar voice.

Lin Xian looked to the side—

Crescent-shaped smiling eyes, faint dimples at the corners of her mouth, bouncy and fluffy high ponytail swinging left and right...

CC.

Ah, no... It's Chu Anqing.

Lin Xian was momentarily dumbfounded; what's this young lady, the one and only little princess of Donghai City, doing here?

He couldn't help but marvel once again at how similar CC and Chu Anqing looked... Put them in a Connect Two game, and they could be eliminated directly.

If another one came along, they could be combined into a two-star CC.

Today, Chu Anqing had returned to the attire of an ordinary university girl. Compared to the formal attire at the banquet a few days ago, she had more of an approachable and cute student vibe, like the girl next door.

Still with an unadorned face, her fluffy high ponytail casually tied with the most common telephone cord hair tie, she felt no different from the other girls huddled together around her.

Except that she was more beautiful and cute.

He was about to say hello, but the girls around him were chirping and clamoring to add him on WeChat:

"Okay, okay, everyone, don't rush; I'll open WeChat now."

Lin Xian held a black notebook in one hand and his phone in the other, using the hand holding the notebook to unlock the screen—

Clang.

For a moment, he fumbled and couldn't hold on, and the black notebook fell to the ground.

"Senior, your notebook."

A girl picked it up and handed it to Lin Xian.

"Okay, thank you."

Lin Xian held his phone in one hand, letting the girls scan the QR code, and put the black notebook on the podium first.

"Oh? Senior, is this piece of paper also something you dropped?"

A girl squatted down and picked up a piece of folded paper from the ground. She had clearly seen that this folded drawing paper had fallen out of the black notebook.

She opened the folded paper and looked at it—

"Eh?————Eh!!!"

Her tone rose sharply, immediately attracting the attention of the surrounding girls, and everyone's eyes focused on the drawing.

Chu Anqing saw the drawing, her eyes widened instantly, and her cheeks immediately turned red!

Lin Xian cursed inwardly!

He suddenly remembered...

When he was drawing a portrait of CC in the office before, Zhao Yingjun happened to run into him, and he casually folded the drawing and put it in this black notebook.

He had been so busy these past few days that he had completely forgotten about it.

He didn't expect that, coincidentally!

This drawing happened to fall out at this time, in front of Chu Anqing, under the eyes of these junior sisters!

This is trouble!

"Lin... Senior Lin Xian..."

The girl holding the drawing was dumbfounded, looked at Chu Anqing next to her, and pointed to the smiling girl on the drawing paper.

A delicate face, curved eyelashes, crescent-shaped eyes, and two faint small dimples at the corners of her mouth.

And the finishing touch, that beauty mark like an anti-counterfeiting trademark!

Her eyes were full of shock, and her voice trembled:

"Senior, you you you you drew this... isn't this... Chu Anqing?"
