Actually, I didn't intend to act alone. It's just that I suddenly felt free and no longer under Zhang Shouyi's control, and I got a little carried away.

But reality hits you hard; you'd better just stay put, there's a jailer next to you.

It's disheartening to even think about it. I may not be able to save the galaxy, but being controlled like this is just too pathetic. I'm so spineless.

For once, Cheng Guangxu sensed Zhang Hongmei's low spirits. "What's so great about the outside world? Didn't you want to go back to China in three years? How will you have time to go out and have fun? Even if you're smarter than us, can you learn without reading books?"

"Cheng Guangxu, are you trying to comfort me? Or are you just mocking me? Don't talk to me for the next five minutes!"

The three of them laughed as they watched the little girl throwing a tantrum. This wasn't the same good student who had been the first to stand up and bravely face the situation earlier.

Just then, Wang Xinyi came out and saw the four people, so she immediately ran over.

"Aunt Wang, please have a seat." Cheng Guangxu was very perceptive, as if this guy had suddenly become enlightened after going abroad.

"Hehe, please sit down."

"Aunt Wang, how is it inside?"

"Hehe, everything went smoothly. The school even decided to find them a foreign language teacher."

"This is really nice," Cai Peilin said with a hint of envy.

"Hehe, you guys are pretty good too, you actually got admitted to B University. Even students from their own country have to go through very strict exams to get into this university."

"Yes, we didn't expect to actually be accepted."

"Alright, Hongmei, what's wrong with you?"

All three of them laughed. Seeing Zhang Hongmei's somewhat embarrassed and angry expression, they didn't stop laughing; instead, they laughed even louder.

"Alright, alright, I'll take you shopping for clothes after lunch. We should at least do as the locals do, right? We can't be too unconventional; it's better to follow the crowd."

Zhang Hongmei came quickly and left quickly; upon hearing that she could go out to buy clothes, her mood immediately brightened.

"Aunt Wang, shall we arrange accommodation first?"

“I just asked Mr. Zhao, and he said the house is all ready. We’ll go there after we finish eating. We’ll stay there today and prepare all the supplies. They can start tidying up their dorm tomorrow. They have time since school starts on Monday.”

"They're so nice! We have to go to school all day the day after tomorrow." Zhang Hongmei was a little dissatisfied. Why couldn't we also go to school next Monday?

"It's okay. The school's rules are definitely different. Our place is not far from B University, only a fifteen-minute walk away. Maybe it's fate that Hongmei is destined to go to B University."

"You can interpret it like that?" Zhang Hongmei simply didn't believe it. In fact, she didn't care about this day at all; she was just venting her frustrations.

"Hehe, why not? They'll be out soon. Let's go back to the hotel. They usually eat two meals a day here, except for those who work or study, who eat three meals a day. So lunch is very simple. You'll have to get used to it."

"Aunt Wang, are they also starving here?" Cheng Guangxi was startled. He had just experienced hunger, and now he was going to starve again here?

"Hehe, no, it's just their lifestyle. They get up late in the morning. If you're not used to it, the school has a cafeteria. Their school cafeteria is quite nutritious, but you're too old to apply for tuition reductions. However, Zhao Tiancheng will recharge your meal cards every month, so don't worry."

"Hehe. As long as there's food, I'm fine. I don't want to go hungry again."

Zhao Tiancheng led everyone out, and everyone offered their congratulations again. Zhao Yuetong was especially excited, grabbing Zhang Hongmei's arm and saying, "Hongmei, you've really made us proud! Zhao Haozheng said that getting into Peking University is extremely difficult."

"Hehe, I'm nervous too."

"Alright, everyone, let's go back to the hotel. After we finish eating, we'll go to Zhang Hongmei's house, and then Ms. Wang and I will take you separately to replenish your daily necessities."

“Hongmei, do you still have a home here?” Jiang Mingyan asked.

"Hehe, my family prepared it for me, afraid I wouldn't be used to it." What could Zhang Hongmei say?

"Alright, let's go to the station and wait." Zhao Tiancheng was genuinely happy. People from his country were truly outstanding. With such people, how could the country not become prosperous and strong?

Everyone was excited to have successfully enrolled, and after getting on the bus, they gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing quietly.

Upon arriving at the hotel, we ate the hotel's most distinctive dishes: fried chicken, whole wheat bread, fruit salad, and a glass of milk each.

Chinese people are used to going to bed early and getting up early, so they usually eat a full breakfast. But this morning it was just a glass of milk and a piece of bread. Of course I'm hungry now, but no one is complaining.

They had all experienced hunger, so they cherished food very much. Although some people were not used to milk, they all drank it all.

After finishing their meal, everyone packed their belongings and left with Zhao Tiancheng in a car.

This direction leads to University B; it's really only three stops away. Zhang Hongmei looked at the house and genuinely thought it was quite nice—a two-story building with a large enough yard. This was perfect.

Zhao Tiancheng took out his keys, opened the door, and handed a bunch of keys to Wang Xinyi.

The yard is really well-maintained; at least the flowers and plants should suit Wang Xinyi's taste. Entering the hall, it's very spacious, with wooden floors and a particularly comfortable-looking sofa. What Zhang Hongmei likes most is that the dining table isn't in the living room. It seems this is one of the advantages of a large house. Although she's here to study, it would be even better if the living conditions were comfortable.

Wang Xinyi greeted everyone with a smile, "I see there are five rooms on the first floor. The men are here, two to a room, and the women are on the second floor."

The girls took their luggage and followed Wang Xinyi upstairs. Of course, the largest room belonged to Zhang Hongmei, and the other five girls shared rooms. Dong Yuping and Wang Xinyi squeezed in for the night.

Now everyone finally realized that Wang Xinyi was there to take care of Zhang Hongmei, not to act as a translator. Everyone's perception of Zhang Hongmei's true identity shifted again.

They were all intelligent people, so no one would say it out loud; they would just observe and guess from below.

Half an hour later, everyone had finished getting ready and was waiting in the lobby.

Zhao Tiancheng chuckled and opened his briefcase, taking out some money. "This is a reward from the leaders, one hundred yuan per person, plus a living allowance of twenty yuan per month. This is all thanks to the country and the people for supporting you. We hope you can complete your studies and return home soon." He then began distributing the money. One hundred yuan was no small sum; Zhang Shouyi was really going all out.
