Chapter 105 (This last part is a fragment and doesn't translate directly. It's likely a mistake or incomplete sentence.)
Wen Han was startled, but he didn't show it on his face: "I didn't take the college entrance exam."
Besides special admission, he could also have been admitted through direct admission. The probability of guessing it was direct admission is much higher than special admission.
Cheng Ding naturally assumed he had been admitted through a special admission program and chuckled, "Then your high school grades must have been exceptional, right?"
Wen Han feigned modesty: "It's so-so."
"Huh?" The food was ready, and Wen Han was about to grab it and leave when Cheng Ding asked, "Why is your schedule so different from ours? I haven't seen you in several classes."
His gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally to Wen Han's face. Wen Han squeezed the bag in her hand before looking up at him: "The school's arrangement probably means they think I don't need to waste my time on this, right?"
Cheng Ding laughed incredulously: "What a waste! What do you mean by that?"
"Anyway, it's not a proper class; I seem to spend my time on other things," Wen Han said. "Did you come to Linjin University because you're too curious?"
Cheng Ding's eyes behind his glasses darkened for a moment, and Wen Han left without saying goodbye, her face expressionless.
He can distinguish between a joke, curiosity, and malice. He's not a primary school student; why would he be so interested in other people's affairs?
Cheng Ding is probably guessing whether he's the child of some powerful figure who got into the school through connections.
As soon as Wen Han stepped out of the cafeteria, she wanted to delete Cheng Ding's QQ account, but the system stopped her: "Host, he's the class representative, so you'll still have to send your assignments to him in the future."
"So what!"
"If you block him, you'll still have to message him to submit your homework later," the system said. "He might even be laughing at you behind your back."
Wen Han gritted her teeth and turned off her phone.
Cheng Ding lived in a regular dormitory, and the dorms next to his were mostly occupied by students from Wen Han's class, so they quickly became acquainted. Wen Han, on the other hand, didn't know them at all, and if Cheng Ding said anything, she wouldn't even have a chance to explain.
Back in the dorm, the food tasted bland. Fei Nai'er's canned food was almost finished, and Wen Han didn't have time to go to the supermarket, so she had to order takeout.
Despite having a lot of money, Wen Han only eats meals costing less than 15 yuan each at the cafeteria, while feeding Fei Nai'er canned food costing more than 20 yuan each.
Coincidentally, when Wen Han went to pick up her takeout, there was another male Beta next to her who was also picking up cat food takeout.
The other person said, "Are you from class xx? You look familiar."
Wen Han nodded, and seeing that he was also carrying cat food delivery, she assumed that he lived in a two-person dormitory like her: "Which dormitory are you in? I also have a cat."
The takeout packaging at this store is very exquisite. It uses a white transparent jelly bag with pet postcards attached to the outside, so you can see what you bought.
"Ah." The other person quickly waved their hand, "I don't keep cats in my dorm, this is for the stray cats on campus."
"Oh." Wen Han was a little embarrassed. She thought she could find a playmate for Fei Nai'er.
The other person glanced at Wen Han's takeout bag and continued, "I have a tabby cat at home, but I didn't bring it with me. I've had it for several years."
He also showed Wen Han a picture of his cat, and Wen Han immediately recognized it as a gray cat.
"I had no experience buying pets back then, and I overpaid a lot of money." The other person sighed, "How much did your cat cost?"
Thinking about this made Wen Han angry: "Twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand! Is it a purebred cat?"
"I encountered a dishonest merchant."
"Haha," the other person laughed. "By the way, what's your name again?"
"Wen Han".
The other person's expression suddenly became a little strange.
Wen Han was completely confused; why did they suddenly leave when they were having such a good chat?
*
He didn't even take a lunch break to pick up the takeout, and the sun was making him quite sleepy.
When Wen Han arrived at the classroom and was looking for an empty seat, he saw the cat owner he had just met sitting in the same row as Cheng Ding.
Depend on.
This means that most of them in that row are from the same dormitory. No wonder the other person's eyes changed when I mentioned my name.
The classroom was almost full, so Wen Han could only sit in the row in front of them.
"Hey, bro," another guy said, patting him on the shoulder. "What does your family do?"
"A street vendor." It's all Gu Zong's fault; otherwise, Wen Han could have said she worked at the Gu Group.
"Don't joke around. If you didn't have money, how could you buy such expensive cat food and live in a special double room?" He looked Wen Han up and down and smiled inexplicably. "You look like an Omega. Are you really a Beta?"
If Wen Han really is an Omega, these words could already be considered harassment. He was engrossed in playing on his phone and didn't bother to pay them any attention.
This was a calculus class, and Wen Han was completely confused. Math was never his strong suit; at best, it didn't hold him back. Besides, he hadn't studied math in his senior year of high school.
The teacher assumed that everyone who got into Linjin University must be a top student, so he just briefly explained many things and moved on.
"You all learned this in high school, right?" Seeing the dull atmosphere in the classroom, the teacher called on someone to answer a question.
Seeing the teacher looking at the class roster, Wen Han's heart skipped a beat. "Please, please don't call on him!"
"Jiang Chongye".
Wen Han breathed a sigh of relief, and the people behind her stood up.
"Teacher, I don't know how."
Upon seeing that it was the same boy who had asked her about her family situation earlier, Wen Han immediately felt a sense of schadenfreude. Sigh, even those who got in through the entrance exam don't know the same thing.
"You don't know?" the teacher said. "Then call someone to answer this question."
The man pointed: "Wen Han."
Wen Han could only slowly stand up; even if he had another brain, he still wouldn't be able to solve this problem!
Fortunately, there was the system, and with its help, Wen Han stumbled through the process of answering the question.
That person definitely did it on purpose!
After class, Wen Han secretly followed behind them. If they came on their own bikes, she would secretly let the air out of their tires.
Blending in the crowd, they didn't see Wen Han, who was still a few people behind them. Jiang Zhongye said, "Could he really have been admitted through a special admission program? That question wasn't easy, but he got the whole answer right."
Cheng Dingdao said, "Even those who are recommended for admission wouldn't be given such special treatment. How come his schedule doesn't include those classes?"
"Xu Min, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"That's definitely right. The cat food he bought cost more than 20 yuan each. If his family didn't have money, how could he afford to live in a double dormitory? There's no school subsidy for living there."
“I still don’t think so,” Cheng Ding said. “The clothes and shoes he was wearing looked like cheap, off-brand items.”
“But he arrived at school in a Bentley,” Xu Min said. “I saw him and his parents in a corner when I was painting the school wall.”
"It's not rented, is it? Just to make up an image for the start of school."
"It doesn't seem like it. The car owner even went into the dormitory to help him load his things, so it should really be a family member."
Wen Han sneered repeatedly. If she weren't a Beta, she would probably already be the subject of rumors.
That night, Wen Han sneaked into their dormitory in the dark.
During the day, he saw clearly that Cheng Ding and Jiang Zhongye were riding an electric car together, while Xu Min had bought a bicycle.
There were no cameras at the charging stations, and Wen Han often saw complaints on the campus wall about people stealing chargers and unplugging charging heads.
Wen Han found Cheng Ding's car; it was still charging. She scanned the QR code with her phone and saw that it had only been charging for about ten minutes.
He simply unplugged the charger and threw it into the bushes.
Not long after they left, someone came looking for a charging station on an electric scooter.
Wen Han found Xu Min's bicycle again. The bicycle was much simpler; she just let half the air out of the tires, ensuring he would ride it slowly and tiringly.
After doing all this, he happily rode a shared bicycle back to his dormitory.
——
As expected, Cheng Ding and his group were late the next morning.
The teaching building for this class is far away from them; it would take more than ten minutes to get there by bike.
The teacher had already signed them in. Seeing Cheng Ding and the others panting as they walked to the classroom door, the teacher looked rather grim: "If you're late again, you'll get points deducted. Come in first this time."
Why are you so late?
Cheng Ding's face darkened: "I don't know which idiot unplugged the charger, and we ran out of power halfway through our ride."
"Where did you park your car?"
"I parked it near Huiyuan. I'll have to tow it back after class."
Their schedules are packed, so Cheng Ding knows they definitely won't have time to recharge. Thinking about this, Wen Han felt even better.
"Wen Han, did you sign up for this activity?" Wen Han didn't have evening classes today and was planning to relax in her dorm. Rong Jun suddenly came over with his phone.
"Football match, you like watching football."
"No, this earns points. Look, five points for two hours," Rong Jun said. "We need to accumulate a certain number of points and activity badges before we graduate."
"So troublesome?" Wen Han frowned.
"We'll just be playing on our phones anyway, let's go together."
"Okay." Wen Han glanced at the time; it was Sunday afternoon. Since the hospital's outpatient clinic wasn't open on weekend afternoons anyway, she decided to register.
*
Although Dr. Wang was always smiling, he was unusually kind to Wen Han today. He ordered fruit slices and coffee for him, and kept telling him to rest and play on his phone instead of doing any work. Wen Han had a vague sense of unease.
"Senior, is there something you need?" To sound younger and reminisce about his university days, Dr. Wang simply told Wen Han to call him "senior" in private.
"Many people will be coming to the hospital for physical examinations tomorrow."
Wen Han readily agreed, "Do you need my help?"
"Sigh." Dr. Wang rubbed his balding head. "Our superiors know you can diagnose cancer through pheromones, so they added that to the physical exam. It'll also improve the hospital's reputation..."
"After all, some early-stage cancers may not be detected by routine physical examinations, and early cancer screening is expensive—"
"Okay." Dr. Wang was still a little incredulous at Wen Han's quick agreement.
Wen Han agreed to work for free, not because he was particularly diligent or ambitious, but because he always felt depressed whenever he went on ward rounds with his seniors in the oncology department.
Hearing how pitiful the patients who passed away were, and seeing many of the patients who came to see Dr. An, Wen Han felt that if they could be detected earlier and treated sooner, it would be a good thing.
A complete early cancer screening package can cost as much as an average person's monthly salary. So even though Wen Han's service doesn't guarantee 100% accuracy and is limited to the AO population, long queues still formed as soon as they heard it was free.
Looking at the endless queue, and then remembering that she had only eaten some porridge that morning because she didn't have much of an appetite, Wen Han suddenly felt a little regretful.
