Chapter 1072 The Returnee's Notes 146
In mid-August, in early autumn, Xie Ning walked past the large banner hanging in front of the school gate that read "Welcome New Students" and stepped into the beautiful and quiet university campus once again.
She didn't bring much, just a suitcase and a backpack. The rest of her things were in the school's house, and she could get them when needed.
Because it's the first day of school, the bustling crowd at the school gate consists of new students registering for the new semester.
Most of the new students were accompanied by their parents, but she was the only one walking alone. The senior student volunteer who was standing in front of her to give directions to the new students quickly ran over and took Xie Ning's suitcase.
"Young lady, are you here to register as well?"
"yes."
Xie Ning did not refuse the senior's kindness. She was not familiar with the campus and therefore needed someone to show her the way.
"So you really are a junior. My name is Xiao Xiao, you can call me Senior Xiao."
Seeing that Xie Ning was wearing a mask, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but look at the children and parents who were being interviewed. She could tell that Xie Ning was young and probably a junior from the gifted youth program.
He couldn't help but whisper, "Junior, aren't you going to give an interview?"
Many people like to be famous, especially some parents. They are proud of their children's talents and want more people to know about them.
"No, senior, let's go register first." She prefers to stay out of the media spotlight. She's not afraid of anything else, except for people digging up her secret identity.
Xiao Xiao glanced around and, finding that Xie Ning was indeed alone, asked, "Junior, are you the only one here to register? Where are your parents?"
She wouldn't find it strange if Xie Ning were older, but Xie Ning was in the gifted youth program, so his age was definitely no more than sixteen.
"Grandma is getting old, so I come to school alone." Outside, Xie Ning naturally speaks Mandarin, while "mama" is the dialect term for grandmother.
Xiao Xiao was startled, and her voice became even softer, "Then where are your mom and dad?"
"I only have my grandmother." After all, I am an orphan.
Xiao Xiao stopped asking questions and changed the subject, avoiding touching on Xie Ning's painful memories.
It wasn't until Xiao Xiao finished helping Xie Ning register that she remembered who Xie Ning was. "You are...you are! The candidate who got a perfect score!"
This refers to the re-examination, of course. She happened to hear the professor mention it, so she remembered it. She and her roommates discussed it for a long time. After all, for them, taking such a test might get them an excellent score, but they definitely wouldn't get a perfect score.
So this junior schoolmate is really amazing!
The school road is lined with tall, lush trees. In early autumn, the slightly yellowed leaves drift down in the wind, startled by the youthful figures around them.
Xiao Xiao took Xie Ning to collect the bedding provided free of charge by the school to the new students, which included mattresses, blankets, sheets, and pillows.
After all, some students come from disadvantaged families, and the free bedding provided by the school is extremely useful.
"If you don't like them, you can buy other ones later. The school can recycle these if you don't want them anymore."
That's what they say, but Xiao Xiao thinks Xie Ning won't buy anything else.
Perhaps because of what she had just learned at the school gate, the fact that Xie Ning only depended on her grandmother for survival made Xie Ning appear as a pitiful little thing in her eyes.
That's why she's been following Xie Ning, thinking that since the young girl is going to university alone, she should help her out. Her seniors had helped her in the same way back then.
However, back then, she had her father to take her, while Xie Ning was all alone.
Xie Ning had no idea what Xiao Xiao was imagining. She simply put away the receipts and meal cards issued by the school. In addition to the free bedding, the school also gave students a 20 yuan subsidy for taxi fare and a 100 yuan subsidy for meals.
She was assigned a dormitory on the second floor, which was convenient.
Xie Ning originally thought she should be among the first to arrive, since the notice stated that the start of the semester would be in the middle of the month, but she didn't expect to be the third to arrive.
Their dormitories are four-person rooms with bunk beds and desks underneath, and each room has a private bathroom.
At this moment, a bed in the dormitory had already been made up, and a girl with her hair half-tied in a ponytail was sitting next to the desk under the bed, putting her things on the desk.
The bed opposite her was being tidied up; her father was making the bed, while her mother and another little girl were wiping the desk underneath.
Seeing Xiao Xiao bring Xie Ning in, they greeted each other and then got back to work.
Xiao Xiao put Xie Ning's suitcase aside. "Junior Xie, do you know how to make a bed?"
She can help if you don't know how.
