After a whole afternoon of running around and packing, Xiao Shuihan lay on her hard, cramped dormitory bed, feeling utterly exhausted with a sore back and aching waist.
He shifted his waist, resisting the urge to smash the bed, and lay down to try and fall asleep.
He clearly laid out a mattress, but the bed is still as hard as a sheet of iron.
The key is that it's less than a meter wide. Even if he's slim, it shouldn't be that narrow; it would be difficult for him to even turn over.
Well, his purpose in staying in the dormitory was to meet some roommates and expand his social circle. Later, when he felt uncomfortable, he moved to the house closest to the school.
As sleepiness washed over him and his consciousness began to wane, a beautiful and captivating face quietly appeared before his eyes.
Has his charm declined?
Given his appearance, family background, and temperament, this was the first time someone had treated him so coldly and indifferently.
Pshaw, so what if you're pretty?
He's also very handsome!
Xiao Shuihan got up early the next morning because the first class of the freshman year was at 8 a.m.
They got up early for their dorm, and when they entered the classroom, there were very few people inside.
My roommate from Suzhou has a powerful-sounding name, Ma Tianfeng, but he's actually a fair-skinned, chubby guy who looks like the silly son of a landlord.
The fat guy looked harmless, but the first thing he did upon entering the classroom was to count the seats.
Cheng Xia, whose looks were second only to his, asked, "What are you counting?"
Ma Tianfeng's voice was low, magnetic, and gentle, like a girl's. "Counting the number of seats makes it easier to decide where to sit?"
Cheng Xia blurted out, "Of course I'll sit in the last row."
Why come so early? Isn't it all for the auspicious feng shui location at the back?
Surely no one will actually come to learn this?
Ma Tianfeng smiled mysteriously. He looked honest but knew a lot: "Before I came here, I specifically asked the senior students. Even when there are enough seats in the classroom, there are often no seats in the first and second rows."
"Some teachers will move the students from the last two rows to the first or second row."
Both Xiao Shuihan and Cheng Xia showed surprise on their faces. Was there really such a thing?
Ma Tianfeng stretched out his short, stubby fingers, counted briefly, and concluded: "This class is a combination of two classes, with a little over one hundred students in both classes and one hundred and twenty seats."
"You can sit in the third or fourth row from the bottom."
There are four people in the dormitory, and we chose a seat by the window.
The row of seats on the side could accommodate three people. The other three people sat in the front, while Xiao Shuihan sat alone at a table.
After they sat down, people began to enter the classroom one after another.
Unsurprisingly, the last two rows were snapped up in a flash, and even the third and fourth rows from the bottom were quickly reduced to just the two empty seats next to Xiao Shuihan.
Freshmen have just stepped into the school gates. They come from all over the country and haven't even gotten to know all their roommates yet, let alone their classmates whom they are meeting for the first time.
Since they were newcomers, they had to be a little reserved. So even though the empty seat next to Xiao Shuihan was undoubtedly a prime spot, no one took a seat for a long time.
Xiao Shuihan was happy to see it happen. The classroom seats were all side by side, and it would be too crowded if there were too many people sitting together. It would be just right for one person to sit alone.
What he was used to was that even though they weren't familiar with each other, many of the teachers would still glance at him, seemingly casually.
He was handsome and the most favored child in the Xiao family; his elegant and refined demeanor was impossible to conceal.
He is the envy of everyone, anywhere and in front of everyone.
...Except for the person from yesterday.
On the first day of school, everyone was punctual. Five minutes before class, almost everyone had arrived in the classroom.
Xiao Shuihan studied finance, but her first class was about university-level computer fundamentals.
The teacher standing on the podium had her glasses perched halfway down her nose; she looked like an old woman.
Just one glance is enough to imagine how steady and soothing her teaching style would be, enough to put you to sleep.
But it didn't matter. Xiao Shuihan had been interested in computers since he was a child, and his father had hired countless famous teachers to tutor and train him.
With his abilities, he could pass the exam by simply throwing the answer sheet on the ground and stomping on it twice.
Just as he was idly flipping through his textbook, a fresh and delicate fragrance suddenly wafted to his nose.
The scent was unlike any expensive perfume he had ever smelled; it was more like a simple bar of soap—simple yet pleasant.
When he turned around, his eyes widened involuntarily: "Luo... Senior Luo?"
The person sitting next to him was Luo Yilan, who had helped him move his luggage yesterday and had also deeply hurt him.
She was still dressed in a simple short-sleeved shirt and casual pants, and her gaze flickered slightly when it fell on his handsome face.
"What are you doing here? This is a freshman classroom..."
Luo Yilan took out an identical textbook from her bag and said in a calm voice, "You need to retake the course."
ha?
Xiao Shuihan was taken aback.
Looking at the girl's aloof and unattainable demeanor, he subconsciously assumed she would be a top student, but it turns out she even had to retake this course.
"Senior Luo, how many courses do you need to retake?"
Luo Yilan, sparing with words, simply said: "One."
Last year, she went out to participate in a competition and unfortunately missed the exam and make-up exam for this course. She has to retake it this year.
Xiao Shuihan unconsciously touched his chin with his fingers. So, this is the only one.
I can pass advanced mathematics and other subjects, but I can't pass computer fundamentals.
Madam, your performance was somewhat disappointing!
The class bell rang, and the teacher's lullaby-like voice came from the podium. It was the first class of the university, and although everyone was sleepy, they forced themselves to stay awake and refused to fall asleep.
The content was simple and boring, and Xiao Shuihan couldn't stand listening to it, but for no reason, she secretly started to look at the girl next to her.
Is this place for renovations?
How come she seems to be under less pressure than him?
He watched clearly as Luo Yilan put the computer book aside, took out an English major's level 8 vocabulary book, opened it, and then all eyes were focused on the vocabulary book.
He was somewhat surprised. Although Luo Yilan had a good temperament, judging from her attire, she was most likely from a small town and a family of test-takers.
While it's wrong to judge a book by its cover, you can actually tell a lot just by looking at someone's appearance.
For example, both he and Luo Yilan wore simple clothes without logos, but the quality of Luo Yilan's clothes was on a completely different level compared to the custom-made clothes he wore.
For example, families like his would never take the English major's Level 4 or Level 8 exams, because those would be of no use whatsoever for studying abroad.
Just as he was racking his brains, a pair of cool, clear eyes suddenly looked at him.
