Bai Yu has always considered himself a foodie, but there is one thing he doesn't eat, or more precisely, a whole series of dishes he doesn't eat.
That means raw meat. Whether it's chicken, duck, goose, beef, lamb, or pork, or various river or seafood, he won't eat it raw.
There are many specific reasons. One is that Bai Yu doesn't like the texture of raw meat, not to mention the taste. Raw meat is not fragrant and usually has a slight off-flavor.
Another reason is for his health. In his previous life, he died a terrible death because of poor health. In this life, he must take good care of his health.
So Bai Yu didn't touch the lobster sashimi that Bai's father made. Bai's father knew that not many people in their family liked to eat sashimi, so he only made a little bit.
However, for the sake of presentation, Mr. Bai specially arranged the sashimi on a plate, with the lobster shell and head placed under the shrimp meat.
Just by looking at the plating, anyone who sees it will surely think that the chef who made this dish must be a master, or at least a master of plating.
Aside from the sashimi white fish, which he didn't try, he really liked the other two dishes. The stir-fried lobster balls were fragrant, fresh, and the lobster meat was especially springy.
It's so delicious that you'll want to eat a second one after you've had one; you just can't stop.
Bai Yu also really liked the shrimp brain stewed tofu dish. Rather than a dish, Bai Yu would say it was more like a soup.
The smooth texture of the tofu, combined with the shrimp brains and roe, makes this soup even more flavorful. In addition, the long enough time that Bai Ba stewed it allowed the tofu to fully absorb the umami flavor of the shrimp.
Anyway, of the three lobsters tonight, apart from the white fish sashimi which he didn't eat, he really couldn't tell the difference between the small green lobster and the flower lobster. He felt that in all aspects, the difference between them was really not that big.
For the next few days, Bai Yu and the other two continued to go to the sea twice a day and then train twice on the beach. Even Li Xue was no exception during training.
Actually, from childhood to adulthood, every summer vacation, Bai Yu and the other two would train together as a group of four: Bai Yu, Wang Hai, Li Xue, and Bai Yue.
However, as they grew older, Li Xue and Bai Yue began to pay attention to their body shape after entering junior high school.
After all, not many girls are willing to build up their muscles all over their bodies, with thighs thicker than other people's waists.
So gradually, Li Xue and Bai Yue reduced their training volume, and now they hardly run at all.
Now, led by Bai Yu and Wang Hai, she ran alongside them again, though not as much as they did.
After Bai Yue finished her high school entrance exam, the number of people going beachcombing increased by one, and the number of people running every day also increased by one.
On the 25th, Li Xue's college entrance examination results came out. She ranked fifth in the city, which basically means she can choose any university in the country.
However, when filling out her college application, Li Xue chose the same university as Bai Yu, namely Ocean University of the province.
The Bai and Li families had anticipated this outcome, or rather, it was something they wanted to see. Although Haida University wasn't in Sanya, it was still in the same province as them.
Moreover, Li Xue and Bai Yu are in the same school, so they can take care of each other. As for what happens next, we'll leave it to fate.
In the end, Li Xue was successfully admitted, but she and Bai Yu studied different majors.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai are both in the oceanography department, while Li Xue is studying law; their start dates for the semester are also different.
Li Xue's school starts earlier; she'll be at school on September 1st for military training, while Bai Yu and the others will start on the 6th and finish on the 21st.
However, on August 31st, when Li Xue was preparing to register at the school, Bai Yu also brought Wang Hai with him to the school.
Although it's not their turn to register yet, that doesn't matter. Going a few days early won't hurt; it'll give him a chance to familiarize himself with the campus environment.
It is said that Ocean University of China is a university located by the sea, and the beach is just a few minutes' walk from the school gate.
However, since Ocean University is divided into several campuses, Bai Yu planned to go and see where their department's campus was located. He figured their oceanography department's campus should be quite close to the sea.
If the distance were close enough, he could take Wang Hai to go beachcombing or something when he had free time during school hours to relieve the boredom of school.
Haikou University is located in Haikou, the capital city of Hainan Province. Haikou and Sanya are located at the southernmost and northernmost parts of Hainan Province, respectively.
It's very convenient to travel from Sanya to Haikou. You only need to take the intercity railway in Hainan Province, and it only takes a little over an hour. There are a dozen or twenty trains a day, so it's really convenient and fast.
When Bai Yu and his two companions arrived at Ocean University, each carrying a bag and dragging a briefcase, the university gates were already bustling with activity.
The cars coming and going were all private cars and taxis dropping off children at school. The new student reception area at the entrance was crowded with people, and Bai Yu and his two companions couldn't see what was going on inside at all.
"Brother Xiaobai, do you think we're too late? There are so many parents bringing their kids. When will it be our turn?"
Looking at the densely packed crowd in front of her, Li Xue posed a soul-searching question.
"Um, Xue'er, it must be because you arrived too late. My and Ahai's school start time hasn't started yet. Let's wait a bit. These volunteers seem to be quite efficient. It should be our turn soon."
Bai Yu wasn't too worried about the long queue, since there were quite a few volunteer seniors present, and their work efficiency wasn't slow.
Just as Bai Yu said, they waited for about ten minutes, and then the number of people in front of them decreased, and soon it was their turn.
Then, under the guidance of a senior student, the three of them completed the registration, paid the fees, and received some basic living items, such as mats, washbasins, and kettles.
When the senior student escorted the three of them to the entrance of the girls' dormitory, the other party left as well.
Originally, this senior was going to ask for Li Xue's contact information, but after seeing Bai Yu's height of 1.8 meters and his muscular body, he wisely refrained from mentioning it.
Taking advantage of the start of the school term, Bai Yu and Wang Hai followed Li Xue into the girls' dormitory. This was one of the few times when men were allowed to enter the girls' dormitory.
Dormitories are all pretty much the same. The only differences are the facilities and the number of people living in them. Otherwise, they are all about the same regardless of the school.
The dormitories at Ocean University are pretty much the same. They are four-person dorms with four bunk beds. The upper bunk is a bed, and the lower bunk is a desk for studying.
Li Xue's dormitory room was 312 on the third floor. Before opening the door, Li Xue knocked on the door and asked if anyone was inside.
It's important to know that she had two men with her, so it was essential to ask about the situation inside before opening the door, to avoid any situation where Bai Yu and her companion might see something private if they opened the door rashly.
As it turned out, Li Xue's knocking was absolutely necessary. As soon as she knocked, the dormitory door opened, and a girl dressed very scantily appeared before them.
"Hello, my name is Li Xue, and I'm also from dormitory 312. These two are my brothers, and they're helping me with my luggage. Is it alright if they come in?"
"Hello, my name is Xia Jing. We'll be roommates from now on. There's no problem with that. There's nothing to see in the middle of the day anyway."
After the two introduced themselves, Xia Jing stepped aside to let Li Xue and the other two into the dormitory.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai didn't say a word the whole time. They just helped Li Xue make the bed and put her things away before leaving.
The evacuation was incredibly fast; they left the girls' dormitory without even looking back. The reason was simple: Bai Yu had seen a lot of personal clothing on the clothes rack in the dormitory.
I just registered at school today, but for some reason, there's a row of clothes hanging on that clothes rack. I don't know if it's just Xia Jing's clothes or if there are two other people's clothes among them.
When Bai Yu brought Wang Hai to their dormitory, the boy's luggage was much simpler. He just made up his bed, put his toiletries on the sink, and put his suitcase in the locker. Done!
Because Bai Yu and his group arrived early, the other two students in their dormitory had not yet arrived. To be precise, no one on their floor had arrived yet. Currently, only Bai Yu and Wang Hai were the only freshmen from the Oceanography Department who had registered.
Quite a few senior students came, but they didn't know anyone among them, so whether anyone came or not didn't really matter to them.
After resting in the dormitory for a while, Bai Yu called Li Xue and asked her to stay by herself for a bit while he went to the track and field club with Wang Hai.
From beginning to end, Bai Yu never forgot why he and Wang Hai were able to get into Ocean University. They didn't take the regular college entrance examination route; they were special admissions students. The university valued their abilities in track and field.
The reason they were recruited into Ocean University of China is for the National Universiade next year. Bai Yu and Wang Hai are just lucky. If the Universiade had started a year or two later, they might not have been able to get into Ocean University of China.
Bai Yu then made another call to Coach Li, the person who recruited the two of them into Ocean University. He was the sprint coach of the Ocean University track and field team and also the person in charge of the entire track and field team.
After chatting with the other party for a while, the other party sent Bai Yu a location sharing message, and Bai Yu took Wang Hai to find it.
