Early that morning, Zhao Honghui took Xie Yuyao to the gate of the military compound. After Yang Shumei came out, he greeted her and left.
As an instructor at the National Defense University, he was too busy to take Xie Yuyao to register at the start of the semester. He was also worried about letting Xie Yuyao register alone, so he made an appointment with Yang Shumei in advance.
As soon as Zhao Honghui left, Yang Shumei jokingly said, "He's spoiling you like a child!"
Xie Yuyao spread her hands and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. I chose this man myself, so I can only spoil him. What else can I do?"
Yang Shumei burst out laughing, "You!"
After the two laughed and joked for a while, Xie Yuyao inadvertently saw a young man striding towards them from a distance.
Suddenly, he exclaimed "Hey!" and said with a grin, "Look who's here?"
Yang Shumei turned her head and her cheeks flushed slightly. Zhao Jianbin was excited and immediately started running, grinning foolishly as he shouted, "Shumei, after thinking it over, I've decided to take you to register first. I can go and register myself later."
Yang Shumei pretended not to care, "Fine, whatever you say, it's up to you."
At this moment, Xie Yuyao said out of the blue, "No wonder you two are brothers."
Then, she looked at Yang Shumei and asked with a mischievous smile, "Are you still going to laugh at me for getting younger as I get older?"
Yang Shumei was both amused and exasperated, and said in a coaxing tone, "Okay, okay, you're right."
Xie Yuyao rarely saw her get the short end of the stick, so she burst into laughter.
A middle-aged woman with outstanding looks and virtuous demeanor walked out of the military compound, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand and a warm smile on her face: "Yaoyao, Jianbin, you're here! Come in and sit for a while."
"Good morning, Auntie!" Zhao Jianbin immediately stood at attention and greeted her loudly like a soldier counting off.
He had met Yang Shumei's family a few days ago. Apart from his deep affection, he had nothing else to offer. Even though Yang Shumei's parents respected her choice and did not make things difficult for him, they were still very reserved.
When Yang's mother saw him make that gesture, she burst out laughing.
Zhao Jianbin realized he had overreacted and scratched his head sheepishly.
Xie Yuyao then said, "Auntie, we'll go to school to register first, so we won't come into the courtyard. We'll come back another day to bother you."
"Okay, you can go early so you can get to know the campus better. I'll go buy some groceries now, and we can have a simple meal together tonight." Yang's mother waved the grocery basket in her hand.
Xie Yuyao repeatedly refused, "Thank you, Auntie, but I don't know the situation at school yet, and I have to wait for my husband to get off work. Let's do it another day."
Zhao Jianbin also declined the offer.
After exchanging a few more polite words, Yang's mother went to the market.
Because it was some distance from the school, Xie Yuyao and her two friends went to the bus station to take a bus. When they arrived at the school, they found that there was already a long queue at the school gate.
Some of them traveled light with only a crossbody bag, while others carried large backpacks and canvas bags, clearly indicating that they were students from out of town.
Regardless of where they came from, they all wore big smiles and were full of youth and vitality.
Senior students, categorized by college, led the way to greet new students, primarily explaining the registration process and providing directions.
Since Xie Yuyao and Yang Shumei were from different colleges and registered at different places, they agreed to have lunch together and then went to find their own seats to queue up.
When it was Xie Yuyao's turn, all the older students, regardless of gender, looked at her. One of the female students, dressed simply and with a bright and cheerful demeanor, said in an incredulous tone, "Are you Xie Yuyao, the female lead in the movie 'Romance in the Ming Dynasty'?"
Xie Yuyao smiled and nodded: "It's me."
A murmur rippled through the crowd, the gist of which was that they hadn't expected her to be a freshman at Peking University, and to have actually been admitted to medical school.
Several male students eagerly offered to lead the way for her, but the female student who had spoken up earlier eventually stepped in and led her into the campus: "My name is Ye Xiaohong, I'm a sophomore in the medical school, class seven, and I'm from Jicheng. I noticed you don't have any luggage, did you leave it at the guesthouse, or are you a local from Beijing?"
Xie Yuyao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I guess you could say I'm a local."
She had just arrived in this world when she was sent to the train station to be sent to the countryside. Compared to Beijing, she had a deeper affection for Qingshantun, where she had spent several years.
However, her household registration has already been transferred here, and she will most likely reside in Beijing for the long term, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a local.
Ye Xiaohong was completely confused: What does "consider" mean?
