Chapter 138
ring?
Bai Gaoxing was unable to react for a moment.
My last impression of this kind of ring was the parrot leg ring - in addition to the one that was on "Dabai" from the beginning, there was also a metal ring with a locator that was specially customized by the crew of "The Long Song".
As for where it is now...it had collapsed into some corner of the bathroom when he turned into a human.
With his hand still firmly held by Li Pu, Bai Gaoxing lowered his head and saw the pattern clearly.
The pattern looks like a row of flying feathers, with a few tiny diamonds dotted on the ends. It is not too plain, but also will not be noticed at first glance.
It was obviously carefully selected, and it would not be very conspicuous if worn in college. Even if it was seen, classmates would probably just treat it as a small decoration.
Just when Bai Gaoxing was about to ask if this was a variation of the anklet, Li Pu spoke.
"I originally wanted to wait until you turned 20, but I just realized that I can't wait any longer."
Li Pu stroked the slightly uneven pattern on the ring with his fingertips and slowly raised his eyes, with a smile and seriousness in his eyes at the same time.
"This is a formal proposal. Teacher Xiaobai, are you willing to be with me forever?"
Having already forgotten how he agreed, Bai Gaoxing got out of the car in a daze and walked inside with his suitcase. Halfway through the walk, he came to his senses and rubbed his ring.
You mean... let him wear it all the time?
Bai Gaoxing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
This item that was clearly a declaration of sovereignty... It felt like he was out of place, as other college students were concentrating on their studies while he was secretly preparing to get married.
Parents and new students kept walking by him. Even though it was very noisy, Bai Gaoxing felt as if he was the only one left in the world.
Ahhhh I can't calm down at all!
"Classmate? Hey! Classmate?"
Bai Gaoxing suddenly came back to his senses, and took a step back in fear of the face so close to him, "What?"
"I've been calling you for a long time, eh." The girl in the volunteer uniform said helplessly, "Which major? Show me your acceptance letter and register."
Bai Gaoxing looked around and realized that he had arrived at the registration office.
After filling in the information, Bai Gaoxing put down the pen, knowing that according to the procedure, he should be picked up by classmates who arrived earlier or seniors in the same major.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, the female volunteer was staring at him with sharp eyes.
"What's wrong...?"
Bai Gaoxing smiled awkwardly, but saw the girl's eyes fall on his face. She lowered her voice and asked tentatively, "Teacher Xiaobai?"
Bai Gaoxing subconsciously touched the loose hair at his temples, which could not be covered by the hat at all.
But there was nothing to hide now that he was in college, so he lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Yes!"
The girl pulled the classmate next to her and said excitedly, "Ahhh, look! He's really here! It was a wise decision for me to apply to come and bring people along!"
The other girl was stunned for a moment, then she looked up and her expression became surprised and delighted.
Thanks to the long queue, the two did not stand up on the spot, but they still couldn't help asking if they could exchange contact information.
Bai Gaoxing readily agreed.
He had created a new chat account to keep school and work separate.
Take a look at their names, Wu Qingqing and Sui Yuan.
"Yan Ming! He happens to be in your dormitory, you come and take care of him!" The girl called out a name, and Bai Gaoxing saw a tall, wheat-skinned boy walking over with a smile, "Sister Sui Yuan."
Sui Yuan pointed at the boy and said, "Yan Ming, he arrived two days ago and is also your temporary monitor. If you have any questions, just look for him."
Bai Gaoxing glanced at him and saw a mouthful of big white teeth.
"Bai... Xing Xing." Yan Ming coughed and said, "I know you. You are the one who served as Li Pu's translator, right?"
Don't think I can't see you smile! Bai Gaoxing raised his eyebrows, and then heard Yan Ming say: "Then I will just call you Gaoxing from now on. So, I will take you to the dormitory to put your things first, then go to get your military training clothes, and finally take you for a walk."
Bai Gaoxing had no objection: "Okay."
Yan Ming led him to the dormitory. "Our dormitory is in Songzhu Building, 303 on the third floor. The location is good, not far from the cafeteria and teaching building on the commercial street."
When they reached the door, Yan Ming said hello to the dormitory manager and planned to take Bai Gaoxing's luggage. "Give it to me, I'll carry it up for you."
Bai Gaoxing was shocked by his roommate's enthusiasm and stepped back subconsciously, "No, no, I can do it myself."
Yan Ming grumbled, "It's okay, I'm a big shot—" Then he took the suitcase and lifted it, "Hmm?"
He looked at Bai Gaoxing in disbelief, "So light? You didn't take anything?"
Bai Gaoxing replied: "Mainly not many."
Besides, my home is nearby and I can go back anytime.
The school prepared mattresses for them, but since it was summer, he only took a thin blanket. In addition, he also took a laptop and some clothes. As for daily necessities, he planned to buy them directly at the school.
The two of them quickly arrived at Room 303. Yan Ming was still looking for the key in his pocket. Bai Gaoxing pushed the door and it opened.
There are already people inside.
The two looked at each other, walked in one after another, and found a curly-haired guy standing on a ladder to make the bed.
Perhaps he heard what they were doing, Curly turned around and said hello: "Hey, you're here."
Yan Ming looked up, then searched for the name on the paper taped to the door. "Is it Yang Juan?"
Curly made an OK gesture, "Yes!"
Bai Gaoxing found his bed, number four, next to the door, but because the opening and the light button were not there, he did not have to be responsible for turning off the lights and closing the door.
There was a bed on each staircase. He climbed up the stairs to make the bed, and put some clothes and notebooks into the closet. He also bought a lock before school started so he could hang it up directly.
Yan Ming leaned against the door with his arms folded, and said idly, "You are really thoughtful. I forgot to bring the lock when I came here, so I went to the shopping street to buy one."
Bai Gaoxing breathed a sigh of relief towards the bed, "I have to go to the commercial street to buy some things later."
Yang Juan had already packed up and got out of bed. Bai Gaoxing only then noticed that he was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and looked like a top student.
"I'll go too later," he said. "Will you take me with you?"
Yan Ming nodded: "Okay."
Bai Gaoxing jumped down, and the next second, the figure in front of him suddenly approached.
"Are you Bai Gaoxing?"
Bai Gaoxing looked at Yang Juan in front of him and felt that there seemed to be some excitement in his tone.
He was alert, "It's me, what's wrong?"
Curly pushed his glasses up, a strange light flashed in his eyes, "This is my first time to be in close contact with a celebrity..."
Bai Gaoxing: "Stop, I'm not a star."
Curly didn't care about that. He kept looking at Bai Gaoxing's head. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Can I see it? I heard that your hair is white?"
There was no need to tell him that Bai Gaoxing was simply wearing a duck-billed cap, and his hair color could not be concealed. At first glance, one might think that his hair was bleached and dyed by a young man, but only those who were more careful could see that it was completely white.
But Yanming felt that what Yang Juan said was a bit inappropriate. After all, white was an abnormal color, and it felt like digging someone's wound, so he patted Yang Juan on the shoulder and said, "Brother..."
Unexpectedly, Bai Gaoxing nodded generously and took off his hat, "Look."
“Wow…” Yang Juan exclaimed, his eyes flashing with excitement and amazement, “It’s really white!! You’re so handsome, bro! So cool!”
Bai Gaoxing twitched his lips. It seems that he is not a top student. What's going on?
Yang Juan forced his hands into his pockets, suppressing the urge to take action. He found the bright spot, "Ah, there is a connection! Why is it gray?"
Bai Gaoxing: “…”
He said callously, "I'm white because I have albinism, and I'm grey because I have... chuunibyou."
Yan Ming: “Pfft.”
Yang Juan was delighted: "You like watching anime too?"
Bai Gaoxing: I understand. This is a two-dimensional world.
The group went to collect military training supplies and then came to the commercial street.
The commercial street of Jiangcheng University is a long and prosperous street with various shops and hotels. Because it is the beginning of the school year, it is crowded with people.
Bai Gaoxing quickly bought a basin, towel, toothpaste, toothbrush and a series of other miscellaneous items, then met up with the two and returned to the dormitory again.
Then someone came to promote the card application.
"Students, please apply for one. We have a special offer on the campus internet package...."
You still need to apply for a card, which will be convenient for making phone calls and surfing the Internet, but it doesn't work now.
Yan Ming persuaded them to leave: "We haven't all arrived yet. When we are all here, we can go directly to the business hall to handle the meeting."
The three of them waited and chatted, and finally the fourth person arrived when it was almost time for dinner.
With a bang, someone pushed the door open, and a man came in panting, pulling a huge suitcase. He said in a half-dead voice, "Hi."
Long-haired handsome guy.
Bai Gaoxing noticed the other person's shoulder-length hair at first glance.
According to the name on the door, the last person was called Wang Xue, and she slept in the room opposite him.
"Oh, I'm late, mainly because I didn't catch the high-speed train." Wang Xue sat down on the stool and waved her hands, "I'm so tired."
Bai Gaoxing's attention was all on the other person's box. It was so big, and he wondered if he had brought all his belongings.
"What a coincidence." Curly said, "Let's go and have dinner."
…
The dining hall for four people to have dinner was a strict suggestion to let the roommates experience campus dining.
"In addition to its strength, Jiangda is most famous for its cafeteria." Yan Ming smiled, "I ate in the cafeteria during the two days I was here."
The school has three canteens, each with two floors and elevators. The large canteen has windows on three sides, and has everything from steamed buns to rice noodles to pork chop rice, from millet porridge to freshly squeezed juice to seaweed egg drop soup.
Because it was only the first day of registration, there were not many new students yet, and the few people sitting nearby were all seniors.
The four of them bought their favorite meals and found a seat nearby.
Curly was sitting opposite Bai Gaoxing. He looked up while eating and said, "Ah Bai, aren't you hot with that hat on? Take it off."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and took off Bai Gaoxing's hat.
The snow-white hair reflected the light of the cafeteria, attracting attention from all directions like a searchlight.
Curly: “…”
Curly: "Sorry, you'd better wear it." Then he put it back on.
Bai Gaoxing adjusted his position and looked at the students around him who were all looking surprised. "I wanted to pick it, but it just seemed too conspicuous."
This is quite different from the feeling of working. Although the university environment is relaxed and free, a head of white hair is still like the brightest light on a lighthouse.
Wang Xue also knew Bai Gaoxing, and couldn't help but howl in the afternoon. He swallowed a mouthful of rice and comforted her, "It's okay. Which university doesn't have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple hair? You cut it off earlier so they can get used to it, and then they won't be surprised."
Yan Ming also agreed: "You will have military training classes in the future, you can't keep wearing a hat. Why don't you just... let yourself go?"
Bai Gaoxing suddenly realized: "That makes sense."
The meal made the whole dormitory get to know each other quickly. They were all young people in their teens and 17s, chatting and laughing, and it was very lively.
After dinner, the four of them went for a stroll in the commercial street, visited the express delivery point, and walked towards the teaching building to familiarize themselves with its location and terrain. Finally, they returned to the dormitory and lay down to chat for a while.
When everyone felt tired, they suggested taking a break, and Bai Gaoxing also closed his eyes in agreement.
No!
When he felt something on his finger, Bai Gaoxing opened his eyes. He had forgotten to talk to Li Pu!
Burying into bed, Bai Gaoxing took out his cell phone and switched to the original number. He found that there were already several messages on it, all from Li Pu.
From noon to night, there is one every two or three hours.
Suddenly I felt guilty.
Bai Gaoxing typed: [I didn't see the message! Are you asleep? >w<]
He typed again: [Today went pretty smoothly, my roommates were all very nice, I will be going to military training in a few days, I will go back after the training is over! ]
I looked at the time and it was already past eleven o'clock. I guess he had gone to bed a long time ago.
Bai Gaoxing's pounding heart calmed down a little.
But unexpectedly, a new message popped up on the screen the next second.
【Not asleep yet.】
