"I originally thought college would be tiring, but it seems quite easy now." Guo Lili said as everyone left, carrying her books and following behind Su Ti.

"Today is the first day; the rest of the classes will be the normal ones." Suti looked at the timetable.

Today is the first day, and we've already scheduled two classes to let everyone get familiar with the environment. The schedule for the rest of the day is actually quite packed.

However, she thought Guo Lili's optimistic nature was quite good.

"I don't care, I'll enjoy every day as long as I can. Let's go to the library first." Guo Lili didn't have a watch, but she glanced at Su Ti's watch and realized it was still a while before lunchtime.

They agreed to go to the library first to find books, as she wanted to borrow some and study diligently.

"Can I come with you?" Suti and Guo Lili were talking, arm in arm, when someone came over.

"My name is Cheng Qing. I just ran for the position of arts and literature representative." The woman looked a little shy under their gazes.

In case they didn't remember him, he carefully introduced himself.

Suti recognized the person as the doll from earlier. Up close, the doll looked even more like one, with such long eyelashes.

"Okay." Suti had no objections; she realized for the first time that she was somewhat judging people by their appearance.

"You're so cute." Guo Lili clapped her hands; she couldn't control herself and actually wanted to touch the other person's face.

"You two are good-looking too." Cheng Qing glanced at the two of them; she had heard this comment countless times since she was a child.

Few people who see her say she's pretty; they all say she's cute, mainly because of her curly hair.

She tried everything but couldn't straighten it, and there was also her own face, even though she clearly didn't eat much.

She's not fat anywhere else, just her face, and everyone who meets her says she's cute.

She was quite happy to hear this when she was a child, but when she grew up and started looking for a partner, they all thought she was too young, which made her very distressed.

"Let's go, let's go, or there won't be any seats left." Guo Lili was very happy to meet Su Ti and make a new friend on her first day of school.

When the group arrived at the library, they found it packed with people and had no choice but to leave.

"The first day, everyone is so enthusiastic!" Guo Lili thought they had arrived early enough, but she didn't expect the place to be so crowded.

"After all, this is Kyoto University. Everyone is here to study. Today is the first day of classes, and there is plenty of time, so everyone will definitely come to the library to read books."

"It's okay, we'll come back after lunch. Once things settle down, everyone won't all be crowding into the library at once."

Suti looked around and saw that there were too many people inside, with many people queuing up, and it was also very noisy.

Even if you manage to squeeze in, you still won't be able to see clearly.

Guo Lili nodded and followed Su Ti out. Guo Lili trusted her, and Su Ti could understand.

Cheng Qing, the classmate from the other side, also came out, acting as if she would do whatever Su Ti said.

This girl doesn't seem very bright.

"Where are we going now?" Cheng Qing asked, noticing Su Ti staring at her with bright, sparkling eyes.

She had wanted to talk to her in class earlier; she had heard of Suti before, but she never expected that they would have such a connection.

Not only in the same school, but also in the same class.

"Shall we go to the cafeteria first?" Suti thought about how chaotic the first day had been, with people everywhere.

If she went back too late, the cafeteria would probably be full, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get in.

"Okay, but the cafeteria probably isn't open yet. But that's okay, we can go there and wait."

Cheng Qing glanced at her watch; Su Ti could tell that this girl came from a well-off family.

"Su Ti, I'm also from Beijing. I applied to the Foreign Languages ​​Department myself. You can ask me if you have any questions in the future."

“My dad works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although my grades are average, I know foreign languages ​​and I can teach you to speak them.”

Along the way, Cheng Qing followed Su Ti like a little fangirl, but in fact she knew much more.

Her father's position meant he came into contact with many people and things; she had heard of Suti ever since Suti first appeared in the news.

She was aware of her background and was very excited.

“Okay, I’m the same age as Guo Lili, twenty-three this year. How old are you?” Su Ti asked when she heard that she was from Beijing and worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I could guess that she knew about her situation. When she heard that she could speak a foreign language, I was quite happy, knowing that she had a little teacher who could teach them.

"I'm twenty-four years old this year." Cheng Qing was taken aback, wondering how the question had turned to her age.

"Huh?" Guo Lili was stunned. She thought she was at most eighteen years old. If she hadn't thought that it was impossible to be too young to go to college, she would have guessed that she was even younger.

“I knew this would happen. Every time I go out and tell people my age, no one believes me. It’s the same when I go on blind dates. They all say I lied about my age.”

"Then they complained that I was too young, and in the end, nothing came of it. Luckily, the college entrance examination was reinstated, otherwise I don't know what I would have done."

Cheng Qing got used to their behavior. Her family was worried because she couldn't find a boyfriend, but thankfully she was going to school now.

She has important things to do, and her family can't keep pressuring her anymore.

Besides, it's not that she doesn't want to find someone, it's just that those people think she's too young, and that it would be too much pressure for them to be together in the future.

"You..." Guo Lili couldn't even finish a sentence. If she were a man, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to say that.

"Don't worry, I don't have a boyfriend either. I'm only a year younger than you. I was engaged before, to a soldier."

“He lived in the area behind my family compound. Later, for no apparent reason, he wanted to break off the engagement, saying that in the new era, people don’t want arranged marriages and that he wants to pursue his true love.”

"So what if he's taken a fancy to a girl in the performing arts troupe? He's making it sound so nice, but he thinks I'm not as pretty as her."

“My parents have fallen out with their family. Over the years, they have been ruining my reputation everywhere. I don’t want to find a partner anymore.”

“But last year that guy was discharged from the army and brought his wife home. They made a scene every day. I’m so glad I didn’t marry him.”

"Now that I've been admitted to university, you wouldn't believe that person came looking for me, saying he regretted it."

"Pah! I'm a college student now. My parents hold their heads high. Who dares to look down on me? I now believe that everything is arranged in my own way."

Guo Lili realized she might have touched on someone's painful experience, so she quickly comforted them and recounted her own story.

She knew she was considered old by today's standards, but she didn't expect Cheng Qing to be even older than her. She felt that their destiny had simply not yet arrived.

“Yes, Lili is right. Although I am married and have children, I never think that marriage is the only path for women.”

"Look, if you were married and had children, would you be able to take the college entrance exam so easily?"

Suti strongly agreed with Guo Lili's statement.
