Chapter 297 Shenbei University

Shenbei University has four campuses. Shen Xuewei applied for the Chinese Language and Literature major, which belongs to the Department of Literature and is located on the main campus.

It takes about half an hour to get from the airport to Shenbei University.

While sitting in the car, Shen Xuewei received another call from Chen Fangli.

"Hello, Auntie."

"Yes, I've already gotten off the plane and am on my way to the university. I'll be there soon, so don't worry."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll call you again after I get to school and get ready..."

After exchanging a few words with Chen Fangli, Shen Xuewei hung up the phone.

The taxi stopped at the school gate, she swiped her card to pay and got out of the car, and soon senior students came to greet her.

"Junior, you're a freshman at our school, right? Which department are you in? We'll take you to your department to register."

When the senior saw that it was a pretty young woman, he tried his best to open his small, squinty eyes wide, wanting to leave a good impression on Shen Xuewei.

Shen Xuewei had a sweet smile, and her eyes were especially bright with laughter.

"Hello, seniors. I am a freshman majoring in Chinese Language and Literature in the Department of Literature. I am here to register."

The senior student bumped past the eager senior student and grabbed the handle of Shen Xuewei's suitcase.

She glanced back at the senior student and said, "Get out of my way, Wang Hao. This is a junior in our major. I'm fine with you. Go do what you need to do and stop getting in my way."

When she turned around and saw Shen Xuewei, she put on a warm and gentle expression.

"Junior, my name is Gong Lingling. I'm also a Chinese Language and Literature major, but I'm a year ahead of you. I'm your senior in the same department."

Shen Xuewei looked pleasantly surprised.

"Really? What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into a senior from my department as soon as I arrived. I'm so lucky."

Gong Lingling dragged her suitcase into the school. "Come on, junior, I'll take you to register and then take you to your dormitory."

Shen Xuewei quickly followed, "Okay, thank you, senior."

The senior student watched the two figures as they walked away and muttered something under his breath.

"It's incredibly fierce."

At this moment, the bus stopped at the roadside bus stop, and several freshmen got off the bus.

He glanced at them, then slowly approached them.

As the two walked on campus, Gong Lingling looked at Shen Xuewei beside her and began to inquire about her situation.

"You look a bit young."

"Yes, I skipped a grade in elementary school, so I'm a little younger than the other students."

"No wonder. Let me tell you about our school so you can get to know it better."

"Okay, thank you, senior."

...

The two chatted all the way, and after reporting to the designated place, they headed towards the dormitory.

The school was very, very big. When the two of them walked to the dormitory building, their breathing became much heavier.

Gong Lingling sighed and said, "Our school is very big, and the living area is quite far from the teaching area. I suggest you buy a bicycle later. It will save you time and you won't waste time walking."

Shen Xuewei has already felt this along the way.

She accepted Gong Lingling's suggestion, "Thank you, senior. You're right, we need to buy one, otherwise we'll be hungry again as soon as we leave the cafeteria after eating, before we even get back to the dorm."

Gong Lingling chuckled, "Yes, that's what I thought too. I bought that bicycle too late."

She escorted Shen to the dormitory entrance and then left.

She has other new students to guide, so she can't afford to delay.

Shen Xuewei pushed open the dormitory door, which was half-closed, and looked around the dormitory.

The slightly worn four-person dormitory room has a bunk bed and desk layout, and is equipped with basic facilities such as a wardrobe and desk.

The accommodation was better than she had expected.

She didn't arrive early, but there was only one person in the dormitory, leaving three empty beds. Two of the beds had been occupied by people who had arrived later than her.

The person who arrived before her was sitting in a chair reading a book.

Hearing a noise at the door, he quickly turned around and looked towards the door.

The moment she saw Shen Xuewei, she pushed up her slipping glasses, smiled somewhat reservedly, and greeted Shen Xuewei.

"Hello, my name is Lu Jiayi."

The girl named Lu Jiayi had shoulder-length medium-short hair, but her skin was a dark yellow tone and slightly rough. She had a slender, long face.

Shen Xuewei nodded gently and replied with a smile:

"Hello, my name is Shen Xuewei."

She stood in front of the bed with her name on it and placed her suitcase next to the table.

Lu Jiayi pointed to the bathroom, "I bought some dishcloths before, they're hanging in there, you can use them."

Shen Xuewei thanked her, took out a rag, and wiped down the tables, chairs, bed, and other furniture.

She opened her suitcase and put her clothes in the closet.

Looking at the bare bed with nothing on it, and wiping the sweat from his back, he decided to rest for a while before buying blankets and mattresses.

She stopped, and Lu Jiayi, who was standing next to her, turned around to talk to her.

In just over ten minutes, the two had a basic understanding of each other.

She glanced at the suitcase Shen Xuewei had placed under the table.

"Did you come alone? How can this little bit of stuff be enough?"

Shen Xuewei nodded, "I came by myself. I just need a few changes of clothes, I'll buy the rest when I have time."

Lu Jiayi quickly analyzed the information in Shen Xuewei's words, and her smile became even warmer.

"That's true, it's more convenient this way."

"By the way, have you eaten yet? Our dorm building is near the North Canteen, which has a lot of food. I ate there for lunch, and it was pretty good."

"I'm actually hungry right now, do you want to go eat with me?"

Shen Xuewei touched her empty stomach. "Go away, I haven't eaten for almost a day."

To avoid motion sickness and vomiting while traveling, she didn't even dare to eat breakfast when she left home in the morning.

After changing buses twice to get to the airport, and then taking a taxi from the airport to the school, I was already starving.

She took her bag out of the closet, slung it over her shoulder, and went to the cafeteria with Lu Jiayi.

There weren't too many people in the school cafeteria at the time, but there was a small queue at the counter for getting meal cards.

Lu Jiayi had already obtained a meal card, and Shen Xuewei told her to go eat first, but she insisted on waiting for Shen Xuewei.

The group moved forward slowly and soon arrived at Shen Xuewei.

After getting the meal card, since I'd be spending most of my time on campus and would need it for meals and shopping, I simply asked the staff to top it up with 5,000 yuan.

Just as Lu Jiayi said, the food in the canteen was indeed plentiful.

The cafeteria offers a wide variety of dishes, including casual meals, stir-fries, Hunan cuisine, roast duck, and desserts. There's even a Western restaurant to choose from on the west side of the cafeteria.

Shen Xuewei and Lu Jiayi walked around the cafeteria for a while, and then Lu Jiayi stopped at a window.

"Weiwei, let's eat this. We have stir-fried pork with chili peppers and fish head with chopped chili peppers. They should be pretty good."

Shen Xuewei glanced into the window and noticed that all the dishes contained chili peppers, so she quickly shook her head to refuse.

“I can’t eat spicy food very well, so I can’t eat this. Here, you order here, and the window next door sells wontons. I’ll order a bowl of wontons.”

To avoid getting acne, she avoided eating high-sugar, high-fat, and spicy foods throughout her adolescence.

She didn't want to end up like in her previous life, with those pitted acne scars on her face that she couldn't get rid of no matter what she tried.
