It was getting late, and people who had been buying breakfast outside were gradually entering the campus. Xia Youyou came out with her backpack, and the four of them set off for Hua University.
Three tall men, with the petite and sweet Xia Youyou in the middle, attracted a lot of attention as they walked out of the restaurant. Xia Youyou smiled and looked around curiously.
Everyone looked exhausted, carrying bags and hauls. Only the four of them were neatly dressed, unencumbered by any baggage. As she looked at the others, they too were observed, their gazes etched in the air. From time to time, there were whispers and pointing.
In those early days of liberalization, everyone wore gray, coarse blue, or, at best, military uniforms. But the four people walking side by side were strikingly different. The three tall men were all dressed in black woolen coats and leather shoes, and those coats cost over a hundred yuan each. And not to mention the girl in the middle, dressed in a vibrant pink. While pretty, she was a little gaudy, wasn't she?
What kind of family background does he have? He actually dresses so ostentatiously!
No matter what others said or how they questioned her, Xia Youyou was completely unaffected. She was so happy that she almost jumped for joy. This was the most crowded place she had ever seen since she came to this era.
Xiao Hai had come to Hua University to explore the route before, so several people from the School of Economics took him there to register.
A long line had formed in front of the School of Economics, and some people, bored and looking around, noticed them. The three men stood out from the crowd, each one more muscular than the last. Especially the man walking to the right of the petite girl, who looked like he could kill a cow with one punch.
Xia Youyou and her group automatically lined up at the end. She was protected between the others and was short, so any other places she wanted to see were completely blocked. She pouted in dissatisfaction and scratched Cao An with her little hand.
"Hiss! What are you doing!" Cao An was caught off guard and was pinched on the skin of his hand. He growled at her in a rough voice, gritting his teeth.
The students who were watching curiously on the side were frightened by his ferocious look and looked away avertedly.
Qi Siling flashed and stood between the two of them, separating the brother and sister who were about to fight over a disagreement.
"Tsk, you two are getting more and more outrageous!" Cao An's head really hurts. One of them is naughty, and the other is protective. He has no status in the family!
Xiao Hai turned around and nodded in agreement, "I support Brother Cao!"
Xia Youyou felt itchy and turned around to glare at him. Just as she was about to reach out to him, Qi Siling quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Stop it!"
"Are you guys ganging up on me now?" she turned around and accused him dissatisfiedly.
"Be good, go back and play, I'll help you beat Xiao Hai! Mommy will beat your brother!"
Xiao Hai protested, "Brother Qi, you are going too far!" He couldn't beat him.
The four people's playful banter aroused the curiosity of the people around them, and they turned their attention to them. A man in his twenties who was following the party behind them stared at Cao An's majestic back curiously, shaking his head and muttering, "How did he build those muscles?"
The voice was very soft, but Cao An in front still heard it and turned around to look at him.
"Hey, comrade, are you from the School of Economics as well?" He greeted in a familiar manner and was not frightened by Cao An's fierce face.
Cao An unexpectedly raised his eyebrows, which was rare.
"We are not, the one in front is."
The commotion behind them made several people turn around. Xiao Hai was pointed at by Cao An, and he tilted his head to greet the man, "I am, my name is Xiao Hai, what's yours?"
"Hey, hey, hello, my name is Zhang Sheng. I'm from Shanghai, are you all from Beijing?" People in the north are generally tall, and these three people are too tall!
"Yes, my name is Cao An, this is Qi Siling, and this is my sister Xia Youyou." Cao An stretched out his hand to shake hands with him and introduced them naturally.
Zhang Sheng was gripped by that big hand. Feeling the strong grip, he broke free and said, "Did you all get in here?" Seeing everyone nod, he was even more shocked. "You guys are amazing!"
His appearance amused Xia Youyou, who was hiding behind Qi Siling. Pulling on Qi Siling's shirt at the waist, he looked over his shoulder curiously at Zhang Sheng. Although shorter than Cao An, who stood beside him, he was quite tall compared to the others in line. He'd been chatting with his brother about being an educated youth sent to the countryside, which seemed like a good fit. His skin had been tanned, probably from years of working in the fields, but his smile was a highlight, a remarkably white smile. He had a typical square face for the era, and his hair was parted 3:7, giving him a vibrant and energetic look.
"Do you live in the dormitory?" After Zhang Sheng learned about their situations, he felt that they could be friends, and it would be even better if they lived in the same dormitory!
Cao An shook his head and said, "Our home is right at the school gate, we all live there!" Knowing that he was an educated youth who went to the countryside and was able to be admitted to Huazhong University, he felt admiration for him and thought he was someone worth making friends with.
The line in front of him dwindled, and it was Xiao Hai's turn. He handed the admission letter to the teacher in charge and completed some admission procedures. Then he asked curiously, "Where are you going to live if you don't live in the dormitory?"
"Teacher, I live at the school gate. It won't affect my studies, don't worry." Xiao Hai smiled sincerely and brightly, and the teacher had a good impression of him.
"Okay, classes will officially start tomorrow, remember not to be late!"
"Thank you, teacher." Xiao Hai took the student ID from the teacher and nodded to Zhang Sheng, "We'll be leaving first."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." After watching them walk away, he stepped forward and handed the admission letter to the teacher.
When they arrived at Cao An's Mechanical Engineering School, they also attracted everyone's curious gazes. It was because their attire was too conspicuous. Especially Xia Youyou, with her pink and tender appearance, she looked like a wealthy family lady.
The Mechanical Engineering Department is full of men, and the only woman is probably Xia Youyou who is standing aside watching the fun.
Xia Youyou, who was being treated like a monkey, didn't realize it at all. She was just waiting for Cao An to register before going to the School of Computer Science.
The people in line murmured quietly, thinking that the girl was pretty and flamboyant. Cao An raised an eyebrow and listened for a moment before going forward to complete the paperwork. He was also questioned by the teacher for not living in the dormitory. There was also the admission letter handwritten by the principal.
"You are Cao An!" The teacher in charge of receiving him looked at Cao An for a while with the admission letter in his hand. He couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart. It seemed that it was suitable for him to come to the School of Mechanical Engineering.
By the time they reached the Computer Science Institute, most people had already left. Finally free from scrutiny, Xia Youyou became active again.
As Qi Siling and the other person walked forward, the teacher in charge of reception looked up and saw a pretty little girl with a sweet smile on her face. A tall man was carefully protecting her behind her, as if he was afraid that she would lose her balance and fall down the stairs.
The strict professor from the Computer Department was the one who was in charge of accepting the new students. He rubbed his tired shoulders and looked at the two of them.
"Are you two freshmen in the Computer Science Department? Show me your acceptance letters."
Xia Youyou took out the two file bags from her bag and handed them over respectfully, "Hello, teacher, both of our files are in there."
Yan Ke opened the file bag with a look of suspicion on his face. He was puzzled and asked directly, "How come you two are together?"
"We are married, and the marriage certificate is in there."
The tall man's words sounded a bit arrogant, which made Yan Ke look at him sideways.
"It's really rare these days for a couple to get into Hua University together."
