Chapter 95
◎What handsome guy is on the confession wall?◎
In early September, Zhan Xinyue arrived at University A as she had hoped.
Before Pang Yun and Zhan Wei took her to school, the family ran into Zhao Xiaohang and her family at the airport. As soon as Zhao Xiaohang saw her, her eyes lit up and she shouted to her parents, "Look, this is the girl I told you about who sat behind me. She got into A University! Isn't that amazing!"
Her father slapped her on the head: "You're so excited! I thought you were the one who got the exam! Look at you, you got such a low score, and you're still so happy!"
Zhao Xiaohang scoffed, "Dad, you have to admit there's something called genes. Do you think our family has the genes for academic geniuses? Accept reality."
“I accepted it a long time ago.” He looked at me with a disappointed expression. “So after I drop you off, I have to get back to work and save up some money for you so you don’t starve to death later.”
"Then you'd better work hard, Lao Zhao. I'll come back and live off my parents after I finish my studies."
The father and daughter bickered for a while, and when they looked over again, Zhao Xiaohang's eyes were filled with admiration: "God of studies, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful! You have to work hard over there, I'm counting on you to stick with me in the future."
Before she could finish speaking, another slap landed on her head: "Always hoping for this or that, you better pull yourself together. You need to work hard, you know?"
The group laughed together, exchanged pleasantries and chatted for a while, then waved goodbye and headed towards their respective boarding gates.
Zhao Xiaohang was the only friend she could be considered familiar with during her year-long stay in the new class. With that, she bid farewell to that silent and quiet time and embarked on a new journey.
Upon arriving at the school, Zhan Xinyue was assigned to a four-person dormitory. She had actually arrived in Beijing quite early, but she spent a few days sightseeing in Beijing with her parents before going to the school to register. When she finally stepped into the dormitory, she was already the last one to arrive.
The other girls in the dormitory had obviously gotten to know her before she arrived, and when she pushed the door open, they all turned around to greet her.
"Wow, what a beauty!" A girl with curly hair exclaimed in surprise. "Hi new roommate, my name is Du Landuo, you can call me Dudu. What's your name?"
"Hello, my name is Zhan Xinyue."
"I am Wang Yiqing." The quiet girl with glasses next to her waved to her.
"My name is Ye Siwen, Xiao Ye."
After exchanging names, Zhan Xinyue walked towards the only remaining empty bed. She had just put down her suitcase when the girl named Ye Siwen urged, "Alright, now our dorm is finally full. Let's go, let's go, it's time to leave."
The other two nodded, but Zhan Xinyue was still confused: "Where to?"
"You haven't seen the freshman group yet, have you? They notified us that we need to pick up our school uniforms this afternoon, and we'll be wearing them to the opening ceremony tomorrow morning," Du Landuo said.
"Okay, sure." Zhan Xinyue had barely finished responding when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her forward.
"Let's go! Let's go!" Dudu cheered.
The door was pushed open, and four people walked into the corridor. Many other dorm rooms were also coming out of their rooms. After exchanging smiles and greetings, they chatted and laughed as they made their way to the stairwell.
Zhan Xinyue was embraced by someone in the crowd, and amidst the fresh and lively noise, she finally felt a sense of reality.
She actually achieved the goal she had secretly set in her heart a year and a half ago.
And her university life began hastily and hastily, yet without any room for refusal, from that moment on.
The four roommates came from all over the country, none of them from the same province. They were all the same age, and most of them were away from home for the first time, so they felt a sense of camaraderie and quickly became close.
These academic high-achievers in the eyes of others are actually no different from other girls their age. Some of them are fans of celebrities, some love playing games, and some are fond of handsome men. The only distinctive feature is that they are all very energetic and are used to putting 100% enthusiasm into everything they do.
So after selecting their courses, the dorm mates, each with their packed schedules, plunged into the "battle of a hundred clubs" of recruitment, handing out flyers one after another. They ended up choosing several clubs, going through interviews, and joining—all keeping them incredibly busy. After finishing her work, Xiao Ye immediately began preparing for the class officer elections, while Du Du started asking upperclassmen for advice on part-time jobs.
Everyone was very motivated, and Zhan Xinyue was also inspired by their energy, so her schedule gradually became more and more packed. Just like them, she filled her schedule to the brim, took many elective courses, and joined several clubs that interested her.
Unlike them, these girls who have just entered university are still in the exploratory stage of life, curious about everything and wanting to try everything, exploring their future development direction. Zhan Xinyue, on the other hand, had a very clear plan for her future from the beginning: to go home after graduation and run a home furnishing store with Zhan Wei. Therefore, her schedule was very purposeful.
So, besides attending classes and participating in some club activities, Zhan Xinyue would audit design courses at the Academy of Fine Arts. In her spare time, she would take her camera and visit various home furnishing exhibitions and trade fairs. In this respect, Beijing truly has unparalleled resources.
A few weeks passed, and things gradually got back on track. She had never been away from home for so long before, but surprisingly, she didn't feel too uncomfortable. She adapted well to the unfamiliar environment and Beijing's dry climate. She was busy, and this busyness made her feel grounded.
That evening, she returned from off-campus and sat in her dorm room looking through photo albums on her laptop. She had recently attended several exhibitions and was gradually gaining a new understanding of the home furnishing industry, and was also starting to have some new ideas that she needed to organize a bit.
It's rare to have all of us in the dorm together tonight. Everyone is doing their own thing behind us: some are playing games, some are reading, and some are scrolling through their phones. We're all busy without disturbing each other.
Dudu had been lounging in her chair playing on her phone when she suddenly looked up at something, turned to everyone, and asked, "Have you guys seen the school's confession wall?"
"Nothing, what's wrong?" Yi Qing replied casually, engrossed in her online game. This was her nightly ritual; it was said she had been playing that game since middle school and hadn't stopped ever since.
"You guys hurry up and look! There's a new post where someone submitted a picture of a super handsome guy and asked for his contact information." Dudu swiped her fingers across the screen. "This picture is so handsome! Mom, I'm so lucky! I really made the right choice in choosing this school. I'm actually in the same school as such an amazing guy."
Dudu was used to swooning over photos of male celebrities in the dorm, and her speech was always exaggerated to the extreme, so no one took it seriously and just gave a perfunctory "uh-huh".
"I'm not kidding, he really is incredibly handsome!" Seeing that everyone was unmoved, she exclaimed, "It's only been posted for a short time, and there are already more than three hundred comments below."
"Let me check later, I'm playing a game." Yi Qing was still just giving her the runaround.
"Qing, your gaming addiction is too strong. How did you even get into university?" Dudu exclaimed.
"Do you understand what this is called a balance between work and rest?"
"What photo? Let me take a look." Xiao Ye, who was originally engrossed in her book, at least gave her some face.
"Coming, coming!" Dudu immediately rushed over and handed over the phone. "I'm absolutely not exaggerating, you'll see when you see it."
Xiao Ye took the phone, stared at it for a long time, then looked up at Du Du with a suspicious look: "Is this fake? Did you take a picture of one of your favorite celebrities to secretly recommend to us?"
"I'm innocent! How could I do such a thing? Okay, I did do it, but this time it really has nothing to do with me. Look, this is someone else's submission. They said they bumped into someone in the library and took a picture of them without their consent."
"Okay, I'll trust you this once," Xiao Ye said. "The photo is a bit blurry, but he really looks handsome."
"Right, right! He's so handsome, I've never seen such a handsome guy in my life." Dudu said happily, "Finally, I can have something good to eat."
Who is this?
"I don't know. Let me check the comments to see if anyone says which department it is. Tsk tsk, look at how lively the comments are, these people are so infatuated."
Is it possible that you look even more infatuated than they are?
Dudu always speaks her mind, but Xiaoye is quite composed, so if she says someone is handsome, then they really are. Seeing the two of them chatting so enthusiastically, Yiqing finally couldn't resist peeking over and asking, "Is he really that handsome? Let me see him too."
"They're here." Dudu had only taken two steps when she heard a scream from the other side, "Oh no, oh no, I forgot to dodge and got instantly killed! I'm definitely going to get yelled at by the team leader. Dulanduo, it's all your fault!"
"Why blame me? It's your fault for not wearing headphones and following instructions during dungeons."
"I've fought this boss dozens of times, I'm too lazy to listen anymore. Whatever, it's already dead anyway, let me see your so-called confession wall."
"You keep calling dozens of times, don't you get tired of it?" Dudu muttered, handing over her phone.
Three seconds later, Yiqing screamed again: "Where in the library was this taken? Let's go see it in person tomorrow! It's sooooo cool! Xinyue, come look!!!"
The energy of these girls in her dorm wasn't just limited to their studies; they were also incredibly noisy, their noise levels far exceeding those of her previous classmates. Fortunately, she had long since adapted and could now remain calm and composed amidst the dorm's battlefield-like chaos.
Zhan Xinyue shook her head and laughed, "You see, I'm not interested in handsome guys."
Even when Yi Qing uttered a series of exaggerated "giant" sounds, it didn't arouse much curiosity in her, perhaps because she had already seen enough amazing people.
Dudu laughed at her from behind: "Don't you guys think that Crescent Moon sometimes looks like an old person?"
"He's also a bit like a monk, a high-ranking monk who has no desires or wants," Yiqing said.
After the people behind her finished teasing her, they started arguing about that so-called handsome guy, but Zhan Xinyue didn't pay much attention anymore because the little penguin at the bottom of the computer screen started jumping, indicating that there was a new message.
She reached out and tapped the icon, and was quite surprised to find that the animated profile picture had two words in the name: Dai Yun.
Having not seen each other for over a year, Zhan Xinyue was inevitably surprised to receive a message from Dai Yun. She looked at it for a while before clicking on it.
"New Moon, I heard you're studying in Beijing? I'm in Beijing too! Want to get together sometime?"
There was also a cute little penguin waving emoji following behind.
Zhan Xinyue had no idea where she had heard the "I heard" from, and she didn't move as she looked at the lively little penguin's expression.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is usually a pleasant surprise, and she quite liked Dai Yun, her enthusiastic and responsible former class monitor. But perhaps because she was too closely connected with those past events that she had deliberately left behind, she hesitated a little after seeing her greeting.
She instinctively wanted to avoid everything related to the past, but found herself unable to find a reason to refuse.
We're all studying in Beijing; it would seem too inhumane to avoid seeing each other.
Zhan Xinyue placed her hands on the keyboard, and after a long time, she finally replied with two words: "Okay."
