Lin Yu rarely revealed her feelings to Gu Yunze, so when she said those words, Gu Yunze's heart immediately started pounding.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he said, "Yes, you have me, you don't need to look at anyone else."
Seeing his reaction, Lin Yu belatedly felt a little embarrassed.
One of them blushed, one's ears turned red, and the other's cheeks turned red.
Fortunately, the weather in the northern part of the city is cold now, so people will just assume it's from being frozen.
Little did they know that both of them were burning up.
The two didn't know what to say for a moment, so they quietly walked into the registration area.
"Excuse me, are you here to register? Which department are you in?"
Before Lin Yu could get close, she was stopped by an enthusiastic senior brother.
She replied, "Economics."
The senior student was stunned; there weren't many people studying economics these days.
Back when we were still in a planned economy era, what benefits could studying economics have?
Lin Yu didn't think too much about it. After all, she knew the history that would be opened up soon, and her economics major would always come in handy.
The senior student snapped out of his daze and said, "I'll take you to your department to find your advisor."
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Thank you."
The senior student chuckled and said, "No need to thank me. What's your name, classmate? My name is Fang Tianyu, and I'm from the Mathematics Department..."
He kept fawning over him, while Gu Yunze behind him frowned, thinking that something was off about this kid.
So he quickly went up and stood between the two.
Fang Tianyu looked at him and said, "Excuse me, did you go to the wrong place?"
Seeing Gu Yunze's expression, Lin Yu smiled and said, "Senior brother, I'm sorry, he came with me."
Fang Tianyu looked at the two of them: "Who is he to you?"
Lin Yu answered frankly, "He's my boyfriend."
Gu Yunze couldn't help but smile, then suppressed a laugh and took Fang Tianyu's hand, saying, "Hello, classmate, I'm Lin Yu's girlfriend."
Fang Tianyu was struck dumb; this perfectly nice girl actually had a boyfriend.
He spent so much time trying to curry favor with me; how embarrassing!
He twitched his lips and gave a fake smile: "Hello, hello, your department is over there, you can go there yourselves."
Lin Yu could already see the Economics Department sign, so she said, "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Fang."
Fang Tianyu shook his head and said, "No need, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Gu Yunze watched his retreating figure, then raised an eyebrow and smiled at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu shook her head and said, "Aren't you childish?"
Gu Yunze pouted and said, "Where am I naive? There will probably be even more people pursuing you in the future."
He had just felt a little relieved when he encountered Fang Tianyu, who was trying to curry favor with him.
Now I'm even more worried.
Lin Yu knew what he was thinking and said, "What does it matter what others think of me? Besides, I believe that most of the people who come here are only interested in learning."
She blinked and smiled, then stepped forward to report for duty.
Gu Yunze thought about her words carefully and felt that they made some sense.
He followed, and Lin Yu was already talking to a senior female student.
That senior student wasn't from the economics department; she studied Chinese language and literature and was here to help out the economics department.
Lin Yu registered with her and got her dormitory number.
Gu Yunze followed Lin Yu to the girls' dormitory building. Men were not allowed to enter, so he had to wait downstairs.
Lin Yu went upstairs, and the door to dormitory 203 was open.
There are two beds inside, bunk beds, which means it can accommodate four people.
She must have arrived late, because all three beds are already made up.
Lin Yu's bed was on the upper bunk inside. As she put her things on the bunk, a girl walked in from the balcony.
"You are, the new student, Lin Yu?"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it's me, hello classmate."
The girl smiled and said, "Actually, we're not in the same year. It's just that there aren't many people in your economics department, so you were assigned to our dorm."
"Your name is hanging on the bed, so I guessed you were Lin Yu."
Seeing her warm attitude and kind words, Lin Yu also developed a good impression of her.
So I asked her, "Besides me, are there any other freshmen in this dorm?"
The girl said, "Yes, there is. She's in the lower bunk. Her name is Li Moli. She came yesterday."
Later, Lin Yu learned from the girl that of the four girls in the dormitory, besides herself and Li Moli, the other two girls were senior students from the previous year.
The girl's name is Luo Wenhui, and the other girl's name is Zhang Pingping. They are both accountants.
The two female students were worker-peasant-soldier college students who were admitted through recommendations.
Now, I feel a little uncomfortable facing these girls who came through the college entrance examination.
Luo Wenhui was quite frank: "You all came from the college entrance examination. We who were recommended don't know what to do when the time comes."
Back then, being recommended by my workplace for this training was such an honor.
But now that the college entrance examination has been reinstated, will their worker-peasant-soldier educational background still be considered important?
Lin Yu knew that graduating from the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University would be controversial in the future.
But she couldn't very well tell people, "If you go to this school, they won't recognize your degree, right?"
So she could only say, "It's okay, as long as I learn real skills."
If you don't care about the degree certificate and only care about whether you can learn skills at school, then you can still continue your studies at university.
But if Luo Wenhui and Zhang Pingping came here to improve their educational qualifications, then it's hard to say.
Luo Wenhui nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. If you can learn real skills in university, then it's worth the trip."
Lin Yu could tell that she was an open-minded person and would not give up on herself because of temporary discouragement.
Such a person should be able to have a good life ahead of them.
"Okay, just study hard and don't overthink it. I'm all packed up now, I'm leaving, someone's waiting for me downstairs."
Lin Yu quickly made the bed and then wiped the cabinets and tables with a rag.
We need to go downstairs right now.
Luo Wenhui stood on the balcony and watched her run down and leave with a soldier.
I also thought to myself, these freshmen are not simple either.
In this era, the people who admire soldiers the most are Lin Yu and Gu Yunze, who are wearing military uniforms. They turn heads wherever they go.
I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but it seems that I can't now.
Gu Yunze paid no attention to anyone else; he observed the entire campus with his professional eye.
He told Lin Yu, "These nooks and crannies around the school are easy places for accidents to happen, so don't come here at night."
Lin Yu nodded to indicate that she knew, as social order was not good in the 1970s.
Although this is a university, it doesn't mean that nothing bad will happen here.
At least many unsolved cases in later generations occurred on university campuses in the 1970s and 80s.
The two then went outside and met up with Da Niu, Zhou Huanan, and Ou Manqing's family.
The group went out to the street and found a state-run restaurant to eat at.
"Celebrating our first day on the job!"
The group started drinking soda, clinked glasses with a "thump," and a new chapter in their lives began.
