Zong Jia nodded, put his things aside, and began to tidy up for her.
Hu Jingxin finally came to her senses, her face flushed. "Jiang Xiaoli, is this your brother?"
Jiang Xiaoli found it a little funny when she noticed someone's ear twitch.
She replied, "No, this is my boyfriend."
As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on her and Zong Jiayu.
Hu Jingxin's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Jiang Xiaoli, you're amazing! How can you manage to be so good at studying while dating? One girl in my high school class didn't even get into university because she was dating!"
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "We just talked about it."
Watching Zong Jia's skillful movements, Mr. Hu smiled and nodded, "Xin Xin, I'll be at ease if you find a boyfriend like this who takes care of you in the future!"
Hu Jingxin blushed deeply after her father's words and slapped him shyly, saying, "Dad, what are you saying!"
Mr. Hu chuckled and said, "You're my only precious daughter, I can't bear to see you become someone else's maid!"
While they were chatting enthusiastically, Sun Weiwei and her parents pursed their lips.
When they heard that Jiang Xiaoli had brought her boyfriend to register, they showed disapproval on their faces.
Li Guizhi had already prepared all the bedding, so Zong Jiayu simply wiped the bed down and made it up before finishing.
He wanted to help Jiang Xiaoli pack her suitcase, but she stopped him, saying, "Okay, I'll pack the rest later."
Zong Jia stopped what he was doing. "Registration doesn't close until tomorrow. Shall we go home to stay today?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."
Hu Jingxin looked at her with some surprise, "Jiang Xiaoli, are you from Kyoto? I remember you weren't on the Qin Province team?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm not from Kyoto, but I do have a home here."
Hu Jingxin wanted to ask something more, but her father grabbed her arm and said, "You're in the same dorm, you'll have plenty of time to get to know each other later."
She stuck out her tongue. "Yeah, I'm not staying in the dorm tonight either. I'm staying at a hotel with my parents. See you tomorrow!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and replied, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
After saying goodbye to Sun Weiwei and her parents, she pulled Zong Jiayu out of the dormitory.
Zong Jiayu thought about the cramped dormitory room earlier and said, "Little Pear, apply to the school to go home and live there. The dormitory room is too small, and your bed is a top bunk."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Let's see how things go in a while."
In her past life, she had also experienced communal living in a dormitory. Conflicts were rampant in girls' dormitories, and sometimes it could be quite overwhelming.
But now that she's at Peking University, the students there should be of a better standard, right?
Forget it, I won't think about it too much. I'll just take it one step at a time. Anyway, she's not the pushover she was in her past life, the one who was easy to bully and only knew how to give in.
When the two of them returned home after reporting for duty, Li Guizhi was making lunch.
Jiang Xiaoli poked her head into the kitchen, "Mom, what delicious food are you making today?"
Li Guizhi turned around and saw her daughter. "Is the registration finished? Did everything go smoothly? I stewed some beef brisket, so we won't be able to eat for a while."
She leaned against the kitchen door frame and chatted with her mother. "Registration went smoothly. The dormitory is a six-person room. I met two of my roommates today, and everyone should be here by tomorrow."
While cooking, Li Guizhi said, "You've never lived in a dormitory before, so bring some snacks for your classmates and get along well with them."
Jiang Xiaoli stole a cucumber from the food preparation area and ate it. "I know, Mom. Don't worry, there's no friend I can't make, only people I don't want to talk to."
Li Guizhi burst out laughing, "Alright, alright, you're the best! By the way, ask Xiao Zong if Zhong Yuan is coming back for lunch today? I think we should cook an extra dish."
Zong Jiayu came over when she heard the sound. "Godmother, Zhong Yuan is taking his driving test today. Don't worry about him."
Jiang Xiaoli was a little surprised, "Brother Yuan got his driver's license so quickly?"
Zong Jia nodded. "He's been learning with the coach for over half a month now, and he's almost there."
Her mind suddenly perked up: "I want to learn to drive too."
She didn't have time before, but now that she's not so busy, she really needs to get her driver's license. She hasn't driven a car in a long time, and it's better to have the steering wheel in her own hands.
Li Guizhi was a little worried. "We can all drive. We can take you wherever you want to go. If that doesn't work, you can take a taxi."
She shook her head. "Mom, I can't stay like a giant baby forever. It'll be more convenient if I can drive."
Zong Jia also advised, "Godmother, there are more and more cars now, and being able to drive will probably be an essential skill in the future. Let Xiaoli learn as soon as she has time."
Li Guizhi thought for a moment and said, "That's true. You'd better study hard. You were quite critical of me when I was learning to drive."
She chuckled, "Mom, then you can point out my flaws this time."
Li Guizhi laughed, "Okay, if you don't pass the test, even if you get your driver's license, I still won't allow you to drive on the road."
"No problem!" she assured with a grin.
After lunch, Zong Jia went back to his place to tinker with his website, while Jiang Xiaoli sat next to Li Guizhi and watched the TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes" all afternoon.
The mother and daughter were so engrossed in the TV series that they watched episode after episode until Zong Jia and Zhong Yuan knocked on the door. Li Guizhi slapped her thigh when she saw the time and exclaimed, "Oh dear, it's already past 6 o'clock, and we haven't cooked yet!"
Zhong Yuan lifted the bag in his hand higher, "Auntie, it's perfect that it's not cooked yet, no need to bother, I've packed up the roast duck."
Judging from the expression on his face, Jiang Xiaoli guessed, "Oh my, Brother Yuan, judging from your expression, you've got your driver's license, haven't you?"
Zhong Yuan nodded with a smile, "That's right, it only took me a little over twenty days from the start of learning to get my driver's license. How about that, isn't that amazing?"
Jiang Xiaoli gave him a thumbs up, "Not bad, not bad, that's pretty fast. I'm also planning to learn to drive."
The four of them sat down and placed the packaged roast duck on the table. Zhong Yuan then began to share his experience of learning to drive in Kyoto with Jiang Xiaoli.
After listening to his explanation, Jiang Xiaoli summarized, "So you learn first, and then the coach will register you for the exam if he thinks you're good enough, right?"
Zhong Yuan nodded, "That's right!"
Jiang Xiaoli felt that this was tailor-made for her. She decided to sign up first thing tomorrow morning, pretend to practice for two weeks, and then take the exam to get the certificate.
Zhong Yuan was happily eating a duck meat roll when Zong Jia's words made him freeze.
"It's great that you got your driver's license. I've enrolled you in a computer training course, which starts tomorrow, so it won't interfere with your studies."
Zhong Yuan struggled to swallow the burrito. "Brother Zong, isn't there any other work? Do I have to go to class?"
