The next morning, Xia Wenxi went to school alone with her documents.

Thinking back to the last time I went to register for university, I was also alone.

It was different then than now. She traveled alone with her luggage for more than a day by train to reach the city where the school was located, and then took the school's shuttle bus to the school.

When she found her dorm room, she saw that her other roommates had been brought by their parents, some even with their whole families, while she was all alone. She felt a little sad and a little envious.

But more than anything, it's relaxing.

Because she finally left that suffocating home.

But now, everything is different.

Those days are now very, very far away from her.

Since it was the start of the new semester, the school specially arranged for second- and third-year graduate students in the same major to be responsible for welcoming Xia Wenxi. The person who was in charge of Xia Wenxi was a senior student in the same major.

When the two added each other's contact information, Xia Wenxi was very impressed with her because she had a very beautiful name, Nanxiao.

Senior Nanxiao is extraordinary.

She was exceptionally tall; when Xia Wenxi stood next to her, she only reached her neck.

"Senior, are you over 1.8 meters tall?"

"Just over 1.8 meters tall. I'm the goalkeeper for the college soccer team. Any junior interested in joining the team?"

Nan Xiao is not only the goalkeeper but also the captain, and he is very enthusiastic about bringing fresh blood to the college football team.

Xia Wenxi waved her hand to indicate that she couldn't do it.

"I'm not very athletic. I'm fine as a spectator, but I can't perform on the field."

Not disappointed by the rejection, Nan Xiao continued, "Okay, I'll let you know next time there's a competition, and you can come and watch."

Today is just for registration, no classes. Xia Wenxi doesn't live in the dormitory and has no luggage.

So after reporting for duty, Nan Xiao was quite regretful. He patted his arm and said to Xia Wenxi, "I had it too easy today. I didn't have to do anything."

Xia Wenxi joked, "Foot strength is strength too. My senior has been walking around the school with me for so long, how can that not count as exerting effort?"

They happened to be passing by the cafeteria, so Xia Wenxi went in and bought two cups of milk tea. The two argued for a while about who should pay for whom, but in the end Xia Wenxi won.

Xia Wenxi: "I have more money, I'll do it."

Senior student: "That's really an irresistible reason..."

There were many people at the milk tea shop today, as it was the first day of school. The two paid and then sat down to wait.

After sitting down, Xia Wenxi smiled and said, "Just kidding, but I should be treating today. Thanks to my senior for bringing me here."

"Hey, it's no big deal. By the way, Wenxi, have you decided which mentor you want to choose? How about choosing me as your mentor? Then you'll be my direct junior sister."

Regarding her advisor, Lin Shen had made a preliminary decision after reviewing the materials her sister had given her, and she was planning to contact Professor Fang as soon as the semester started.

Upon hearing Xia Wenxi's choice, Nan Xiao nodded and said, "Professor Fang is a very nice person. She is gentle and knowledgeable. Choosing her is a good choice."

After they finished their milk tea, Nan Xiao knew that Xia Wenxi was going to have lunch with her friends. Seeing that it was almost time, she got up, said goodbye to Xia Wenxi, and left first.

Xia Wenxi was waiting for Li Mengting and Zhang Jiayi. One of them had been in a group meeting that morning, while the other had been meeting with her advisor to revise her thesis. Li Mengting had just sent a message saying that she had finished and was now coming to find Xia Wenxi.

Zhang Jiayi hasn't made a move yet, so it's definitely not over yet.

When Xia Wenxi saw Li Mengting's message, she got up and ordered two more cups of milk tea.

The three of them didn't plan to eat in the cafeteria for lunch today, but the cafeteria Xia Wenxi was in was the closest to the west gate of the school, and right outside the west gate was the famous University Town Food Street!

Xia Wenxi couldn't wait to explore it properly.

Li Mengting rode her bicycle over. It was hot outside, but as soon as she sat down, Xia Wenxi served her an iced milk tea. Holding it in her hand, she instantly felt alive again.

"It's too cold. Sit down and warm up for a bit before you drink it."

Li Mengting nodded, panting, "Thank you, Wenxi."

The two sat for a while, and then Zhang Jiayi arrived. She was lucky; a school bus happened to pass by when she came out, so it wasn't too hot when she took the bus.

However, at this time, a cup of iced milk tea would be the perfect thing.

"Thank you so much, Wenxi, I'm falling in love with you."

"I have no problem with you loving me, but are you sure your Xiao Qiao won't be jealous?"

Zhang Jiayi blushed a little when Xia Wenxi teased her.

The Xiao Qiao that Xia Wenxi mentioned is the boy that Li Mengting's father introduced to his daughter, asking her to meet him. The two met quite a few times at school last semester, and it was mainly Xiao Qiao who took the initiative.

Of course, Zhang Jiayi must have had feelings for him too, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to have dinner with him.

Sure enough, as the summer vacation was coming to an end, the two officially confirmed their relationship and got together.

Xia Wenxi thought to herself that it's really different when you first start dating; she even gets shy when talking about it, unlike her...

She's become very shameless now.

The famous university town food street stretches as far as the eye can see. On such a hot day at midday, it's impossible to explore every single stall, so the three of them chose the nearest one.

Xia Wenxi not only ate by herself, but also bought a variety of snacks from several food stalls before leaving, and also packed two cups of iced milk tea.

I'm going to deliver some "warmth" to her son, Xiaolin.

She didn't tell Lin Shen in advance today. After arriving at the company, she took out the employee ID card that Lin Shen had given her and used it to go up the elevator.

When she swiped her card, she still couldn't help but laugh when she saw the big picture of Xiaoyuer on her employee ID.

"Please come in."

Xia Wenxi opened the door and went in after hearing Lin Shen's voice.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lin? Your Xiaoxi brand takeout has arrived. Please come and sign for it."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Lin Shen smiled and got up, took the things from Xia Wenxi's hands, and led her to sit down on the sofa.

"Didn't you say you were having dinner with friends? Why are you back so early? What did you buy?"

"They were both quite busy; they had things to do in the afternoon, so we parted ways after lunch."

Xia Wenxi took out the things she had bought one by one and placed them on the coffee table, including the iced milk tea.

"I brought some purely additive-free, zero-natural products for President Lin. What do you think? Haven't tried these before?"

"Uh! I've never eaten it before."

Xia Wenxi opened the milk tea and handed it to Lin Shen, saying, "Have some milk tea. Don't drink your bitter coffee next time. Our milk tea is delicious and refreshing, even stronger than coffee."

"Today is Friday."

"Huh, what happened on Friday?"

"It's okay if you can't sleep, we have plenty of things to do anyway."

Xia Wenxi: ...

I should have added some melatonin to the milk tea.
