With an office and a telephone, this is no ordinary household.

When Suti saw Baichuan off and returned, the people in the dormitory were much more enthusiastic.

"Um... my name is Zhan Manman, I'm thirty years old, and I'm from Heilongjiang Province." The oldest-looking woman introduced herself to Su Tixian.

She had dark skin, a thin figure, and patched clothes, but she was full of energy.

"My name is Li Yishu, I'm from Jiang Province, and I'm twenty-one years old." The person next to Zhan Manman also introduced herself to Su Ti.

She was fair-skinned and spoke softly; she looked like a girl from the water towns of Jiangnan.

After the others had finished introducing themselves, the girl whose bed was next to Suti's pulled over the girl on the far side.

“My name is Cao Jiajia, and her name is Chen Tong. We are both from Shandong Province, and we are the same age, both nineteen years old this year.”

Both girls were very tall. It was the first time Suti had ever seen girls that tall. The tallest one must be almost 1.8 meters tall, right?

The other one must be over 1.75 meters tall; these days, even men rarely reach that height.

Looking at the two of them, Suti thought of his grandfather's army, where many people from Shandong Province were quite tall.

Several people gathered around and introduced themselves, and Suti followed suit and introduced herself as well.

"Hello, my name is Su Ti. I'm from Beijing and I'm twenty-three years old." Su Ti smiled at the group, knowing that you only really know someone's personality after you get to know them.

"Your home is in Beijing? No wonder. You were the first one to sign up, weren't you?" Cao Jiajia said bluntly.

Thinking that they weren't the last to arrive, but rather the first.

"Yes, I live nearby, so I came to register on the first day. There weren't many people at the school, and it wasn't time for school to start yet, so I went home first."

Suti looked at the girl, unsure whether she was genuinely naive or just trying to curry favor with her by saying those words on purpose.

"It seems I'm the youngest in our dorm. My name is Sun Miaomiao, I'm eighteen years old, and my home is in Hebei Province, which is next to Beijing."

Sun Miaomiao felt very uncomfortable seeing them excluding her, and coupled with the implication in Cao Jiajia's words that she felt were directed at her, she felt that Cao Jiajia was doing it on purpose.

She brazenly came over to introduce herself, emphasizing that she was the youngest, just to imply that they were all older than her and shouldn't be bullied.

Suti glanced at the group of people and then fell silent. Firstly, she wasn't familiar with them, and secondly, she didn't know when they might be used as pawns.

She thought, "Anyone who can get into Peking University isn't brainless. We all come from all over the country; who doesn't have their own little schemes?"

After a brief self-introduction, everyone went back to their own business, since they weren't really familiar with each other and didn't know what to say.

After they finished packing, they all picked up their books and started reading seriously. Even though they had been admitted to Peking University, they were still uneasy, afraid of being outdone by someone.

Suti also followed local customs and picked up a book to read. In just one morning, she noticed that Cao Jiajia was closer to Chen Tong.

Between the two, Cao Jiajia was clearly the one in charge, one active and the other quiet. It's unclear how they ended up getting along so well; perhaps they complemented each other.

Zhan Manman is probably getting old and must be married. She treats everyone in the dormitory like a child.

She always speaks with an air of being a nice person, unconsciously making herself seem like the eldest sister in the dormitory.

Li Yishu has a mild temperament, speaks softly, and agrees with whatever others say, appearing to be someone who doesn't care about anything.

Sun Miaomiao may seem loud and boisterous, but she's actually quite dim-witted. She'll hold onto whatever people say for ages, feeling annoyed.

Suti thought to herself, "Indeed, people's personalities are truly diverse."

Just like her, in these people's eyes, she is probably someone from a wealthy family, difficult to talk to, and with a bad temper.

By the end of the morning, Suti had figured it out: the girls weren't in the same department, and aside from being in the dorm, they probably wouldn't have any contact with each other.

This is good, as it avoids adding competition and making things even more tiring.

Everyone here is an adult, and we don't know what they're thinking inside, but once they step out of the dormitory, they all become very friendly.

They even went to the cafeteria together at noon, as if they were very close friends.

Not only their dormitory was like this, Suti found that several dormitories around them were the same, with everyone acting as if they had known each other for eight lifetimes.

The food in the cafeteria is really nothing special; there's hardly any oil in it, and the taste is just average.

Perhaps Suti is used to good food and is not used to this, but everyone else seems to be enjoying their food.

"Sutti, why did you order all vegetarian dishes? Did you forget your receipt? I have one, you can borrow it."

Cao Jiajia glanced at Su Ti and then generously handed over her hostage.

"No need, I just don't want to eat meat." Suti always felt out of place with these girls who had inexplicable little thoughts.

Perhaps she lived an extra lifetime; if we were to calculate her age, she would be their ancestor.

The girls' awkward thoughts were too far removed from her; sometimes she even felt she could see right through them.

"Hmph." Before Cao Jiajia could reply, Sun Miaomiao snorted. She had figured it out: Cao Jiajia was trying to curry favor, but the other person wasn't taking the bait.

If she were really that generous, why didn't she give her vote to Chen Tong next to her? Aren't they good friends?

That's because she knew that Suti would definitely pay her back once he accepted the money; Suti wasn't short of those tickets and would remember her favor.

But if it were given to Chen Tong, everyone can guess what her family background is like. It would probably be gone forever; nobody's a fool.

"Oh, I see. I thought you forgot your ticket." Cao Jiajia seemed not to hear Sun Miaomiao's mocking snort, and there was no sign of annoyance on her face.

Meanwhile, Chen Tong was staring intently at the meat in Cao Jiajia's bowl.

"Tongtong, let's eat together." Cao Jiajia understood Chen Tong's meaning, paused for a moment, and generously shared with her.

It's as if what she did just now was out of kindness; she's nice to everyone.

"Hurry up and eat, we still need to pick up our books later, classes start officially tomorrow." The kind-hearted Zhan Manman spoke in the tone of a patriarch.

Whether people genuinely admired her or simply didn't want to talk, the rest of the meal was eaten very quietly.

After everyone went to their respective classes to collect their books in the afternoon, they got back to the dormitory and, without a care in the world, started reading intently.

Those who can get into Peking University are all excellent, and no one wants to be outdone, so they buried themselves in their books and the dormitory became quiet.

Only Chen Tong over there looked at those books, her hands trembling as she opened them and read the contents, her palms sweating profusely.
