【025】 Start of school【Happy holidays】
That night, they had a meal together at home, and the relationship between Gu Juan and Xi Lang really became closer. On the night of the 31st, Gu Juan sent Er Jianmei to Xi Lang's home, along with a bottle of milk mixed with spiritual spring water, asking Xi Lang to feed Er Jianmei some every day.
He visited Xi Lang's house and was filled with envy. Living in a building within a building was fine, because the 20th floor was the highest floor, and the rooftop garden also belonged to Xi Lang. Besides the meticulously tended flower beds and lawns, there was also a large swimming pool. It couldn't be more enjoyable.
Xi Lang invited Gu Juan to dinner, but Gu Juan didn't even bother to be polite and shamelessly asked for dinner. Unfortunately, Xi Lang only prepared four dishes, and only one of them was meat, because he said he couldn't eat too greasy food at night.
Therefore, Gu Juan muttered in his heart: Old man.
Because the two of them became close, on the 1st, Xi Lang offered to take Gu Juan to the school to register, and Gu Juan didn't find it strange.
Although his home is close to Congzhou University, he still has a lot of stuff. A large suitcase is filled with spare clothes, bed sheets, quilt covers, and books he often reads. These are things he uses frequently and don't like to store in a large space. In addition, there is a computer bag. Since his new home has a desktop computer, he brought his laptop to school to use.
"Did you leave anything behind?" Xi Lang asked before leaving. He was holding a pot of emerald green cactus, which he had given to Gu Juan to place in the dormitory to protect her from computer radiation.
"I've brought them all." Gu Juan patted the suitcase.
After locking the door, they went downstairs together.
In front of the tall, majestic gate of Congzhou University hung a long banner that read, "Welcome, Class of 2009, to Congzhou University." The gate was bustling with activity. Students registering, parents sending their children off, and luggage slowly streamed onto the campus. Although autumn had already arrived, the scorching sun remained fierce. The sun hung high in the sky, its blazing rays scorching the air. Everyone was sweating profusely. Even the soothing music playing on the school radio couldn't dispel the heat.
Outside vehicles were not allowed to enter the school and could only be parked in the parking lot outside the gate. After parking the car, Gu Juan and Xi Lang dragged their luggage and followed the crowd inside.
Gu Juan looked around casually and found that almost all the students were accompanied by their parents. He subconsciously glanced at Xi Lang, feeling warm in his chest, and took out a bottle of mineral water from the outer pocket of his computer bag and handed it to him.
After entering, the crowd dispersed, finally making it less crowded. Walking a hundred meters along the wide path, you'll see tables and chairs set up by the student union members responsible for welcoming new students. Behind each student union member from each college hang different welcome banners.
All the major clubs also joined in the fun and seized the opportunity to recruit new members; communication companies such as Dongyi Communications, Tonglian Communications, and Xindian Communications also opened business outlets here to facilitate students from other places to apply for phone cards... There were crowds of people everywhere.
Gu Juan quickly found the "Foreign Languages College Welcomes You" banner and walked over to it. Xi Lang followed slowly, pulling his suitcase.
With guidance and lead from the student union, and Xi Lang helping with the luggage, it took less than an hour for Gu Juan to complete the admission procedures and follow the boys from the student union to the dormitory.
The man introduced himself as Zhang Tao, a sophomore majoring in English. He was very enthusiastic, explaining the basics of the university and the college to Gu Juan as they walked. After dropping Gu Juan off at the bottom of Building 3, Zhang Tao gave him his phone number and told him to contact him if he had any questions. Then he hurried away.
The dormitory building was equipped with an elevator, and it only took a few seconds to reach the third floor. Gu Juan pushed open the door of 303 and stood at the entrance, the interior clearly visible. There was a door on the left, which led to a separate toilet and bathroom. There were four sets of modular beds in the dormitory, two on the left and two on the right, all placed against the wall, with beds on top and a wardrobe, shoe cabinet, bookshelf, and computer desk on the bottom. At the end of the room were two glass windows with a glass door leading to the balcony. An air conditioner was hung above the door.
There were already people in the dorm. A tall, sturdy, dark-skinned boy was sitting at a computer desk, playing on his computer. Another boy, wearing glasses and a refined demeanor, dressed in a blue and white striped home suit, was leaning against a folded blanket, reading a book. When they heard the door open, they both turned around.
The boy playing on the computer immediately stood up and gave Gu Juan a generous smile, "Are you from this dormitory too? Welcome, my name is Zhao Rui."
The gentleman leaned forward, smiled politely at Gu Juan, and then said, "My name is Zhang Cong. Please take care of me in the future."
Gu Juan nodded, "Hello, I'm Gu Juan."
Xi Lang reached out and shook hands with Zhao Rui. "I am Gu Juan's brother. I'll trouble you to take good care of Gu Juan in the future."
Zhao Rui instinctively felt that this person was extraordinary. He took a quick look at him and said hurriedly, "You are too polite. Let's take care of each other."
He then said to Gu Juan, "There's a name on the bed. The one on the left, by the balcony, is yours."
Gu Juan thanked him again, opened the suitcase, took out the things inside one by one and put them on the table. The table was immediately cluttered with miscellaneous items.
Xi Lang was displeased, but he couldn't intervene, so he placed the cactus on the empty table next to him and helped Gu Juan make the bed. Because he was tall enough, even standing on the floor, he could easily spread out the mattress, arrange it neatly, put the sheets on, smooth it with his hands, and finally fold the quilt and place it at the end of the bed.
Zhao Rui casually glanced at the items on Gu Juan's desk, and the more he looked, the more astonished he became. Gu Juan's pen holder, water cup, storage box, clothes hanger, and other items were all made of bamboo, polished to an extremely smooth finish. Some were even carved with intricate patterns, creating a delicate and interesting look. Most remarkable of all, the bamboo still retained its emerald green color, imbued with a natural feel.
Although Gu Juan was a little lazy, he was very efficient in tidying up. In a short while, he had sorted out the clothes, books, etc., and placed the pen holder, water cup and other miscellaneous items in the storage compartment, and the table was clean again.
Xi Lang placed the cactus in the compartment closest to the table, pushed the suitcase to the open space at the entrance, and placed it against the wall.
Zhao Rui smiled and said to Gu Juan, "Your brother is really considerate to you."
Gu Juan's heart moved, and he smiled, but said nothing. He watched Xi Lang move a row of books from the top shelf to the second row of the shelf. "It's more convenient to take it here."
Gu Juan nodded.
