According to custom, the pots have to be warmed up on the first day of moving into a new home. In addition to Wen Qingsheng and his three friends, Zuo Xiaotang and Zuo Qiao, a brother and sister, also came.
The first time he saw Yun Mo, Zuo Xiaotang gave her a big warm hug.
"Momo, I'm so happy to see you! Zhizhi told me that you were coming to Beijing to study. I was so happy. If I were not abroad, I would definitely go to pick you up in person."
"It's okay. There will be plenty of time in the future. I'm still waiting for Sister Xiaotang to take me to eat and play all over Beijing."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
After introducing everyone to each other, the group started to get busy.
Some were washing vegetables, some were cutting meat, and Ling Chuan, wearing an apron, was cooking. After more than two hours of busy work, a sumptuous meal with good color, aroma and taste was placed on the table.
Wen Qingsheng gave a thumbs up in admiration after taking the first bite, "This is the taste! Brother Chuan, I haven't seen you for a year and your cooking skills have improved. Why don't you open a restaurant? I will definitely patronize you every day."
Zeng Fang nodded in agreement, "I also think that with Brother Ling's cooking skills, the restaurant will definitely be a booming business."
It was the first time for Zuo Xiaotang and the others to eat dishes cooked by Ling Chuan. They were all impressed by the taste of the dishes and started to eat them with great concentration.
When Wen Qingsheng and Zeng Fang came to their senses, they saw that the amount of food on the plates was visibly decreasing. They immediately stopped talking and picked up their chopsticks to grab the food.
The meal was as intense as a war, and in the end even the soup was eaten by everyone mixed with rice.
The day after moving into the new house was the first day of school for freshmen at Kyoto University.
After breakfast, Ling Chuan cleaned up the dishes as quickly as possible and returned to his room and opened the closet.
"Momo, is it okay for me to wear this shirt?"
Yun Mo was sitting on a stool putting on her shoes. Seeing Ling Chuan gesturing with a shirt in his hand, she subconsciously asked, "Are you going out soon?"
"I want to take you to school. It's your first day of school, and I want to dress nicely so that you won't be laughed at by your classmates."
Hearing the man's thoughts, Yun Mo couldn't help feeling helpless.
"No need. The security here is pretty good, and I don't need to go to evening self-study. You don't have to pick me up and drop me off at school like before."
"oh."
Seeing the visibly disappointed look on the man's face, Yun Mo couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
"I'm about to leave, why don't you change your clothes?"
Seeing the man staring at her blankly, Yun Mo said angrily, "Didn't you say you would send me off?"
Ling Chuan's black eyes lit up, and he quickly took off his old shirt and put on the new shirt in his hand. While buttoning it, he asked her opinion.
"Wife, does this look good on me? Do you want to change your pants too?"
"You don't need to change your pants. Just wear those brown sandals."
"good."
"Momo, are you okay? It's time to go."
Zeng Fang's urging came from outside the door. Yun Mo responded and then walked up to the man to tuck the hem of his shirt into his waistband. She asked him to lower his head a little and raised her hand to straighten his collar.
On the road, Zeng Fang and Yun Mo rode side by side, each riding a ladies' Fei Ge bicycle, while Ling Chuan rode a Mulan motorcycle and followed slowly behind them.
According to Shao Lin's idea, Yunmo should bring the car and the driver as well, so that it would be convenient for him to pick up and drop off Yunmo to and from school.
But Yun Mo didn't want to be so high-profile, so she refused. Then she bought herself a bicycle and a motorcycle for Lingchuan as daily transportation.
When they reached the fork in the road, Zeng Fang went left and Yun Mo went right, and the two went their separate ways. Ling Chuan caught up with Yun Mo on his motorcycle and walked side by side with her.
We soon arrived at the east gate of Kyoto University.
Yun Mo stopped her bike, turned to Ling Chuan who also stopped his bike and said, "I'm here, you can go back. I'll be eating in the cafeteria at noon and won't be able to go home."
Ling Chuan nodded.
"Um."
After seeing her enter the campus with his own eyes and staring at the plaque of "Capital University" for a long time, Ling Chuan started his motorcycle and headed home.
On the other side, Yun Mo entered the campus and followed the road signs, riding towards the School of Engineering where the Department of Biology was located.
Although she was mentally prepared, Yun Mo finally started to feel overwhelmed when she had been riding for almost ten minutes and still hadn't reached the Institute of Technology.
At this moment, she missed the various electric scooters of later generations very much.
After riding for about three or four minutes, I could finally see the teaching building of the School of Engineering in front of me.
The dawn was just ahead. Yun Mo seemed to have regained her strength. She was pedaling her bicycle with all her might when a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Hi, classmate, are you also a freshman in the School of Engineering?"
Yun Mo turned her head and found a round-faced girl about her age. She didn’t know if it was because of the sun or the tiredness from riding a bicycle, but her cheeks were particularly red, like a pair of big red apples, which made people feel very fond of her.

"Well, you too?"
After receiving her response, the round-faced girl seemed happy and excited. "Hello, my name is Zhong Xiaochen, and I'm a freshman in the Department of Bioengineering. How about you?"
"I'm from the Department of Biological Sciences, Shao Mo."
"Ah, we are from the same department, let's go together."
"OK."
Zhong Xiaochen is a warm and cheerful person. He revealed all his secrets within two minutes of knowing each other. He is so innocent.
Although they were in different majors, the biology department was in the same teaching building. After parking their bicycles, the two walked side by side towards the teaching building.
"Shao Mo, do you also live off campus? I actually saw you at the school gate. You were talking to a tall and handsome man. Is he your brother or your boyfriend?"
"It's my boyfriend."
Yun Mo didn't really want to tell her private life to a girl she met for the first time.
Zhong Xiaochen smiled knowingly, "In fact, I guessed so too. He looked at you with a very affectionate look in his eyes. After you went in, he stood at the door for a long time before leaving."
Imagining that scene in her mind, Yun Mo couldn't help but smile.
Zhong Xiaochen suddenly put his arm around her. Yun Mo felt a little uncomfortable with such intimacy, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Shao Mo, I really envy you. My boyfriend was admitted to Province L, and we can only communicate through letters and phone calls."
Yun Mo didn't know how to comfort her and didn't say anything for a moment.
Zhong Xiaochen didn't care and continued, "Shao Mo, where do you live? I live in Pingshun Hutong."
"I live in the area of Yanzi Hutong."
"Wow, isn't that close to school?"
"Yeah, it's pretty close."
"I really envy you. I live far away. It takes me about half an hour to ride a bike from Pingshun Hutong."
He rode for half an hour outside the school and then for more than ten minutes inside the school, which was almost an hour in total. No wonder his face was sunburned. Yun Mo gave the other person a look of great sympathy.
"It's a bit far, why didn't you take the bus?"
"My place is far from the bus station, and I have to change buses halfway, which takes almost an hour. It's time-consuming and expensive. It's more convenient to ride a bicycle."
