"Where did Chen Meizhen go? Why isn't she here?"
Shu Manling asked in confusion.
"Who cares about her? Maybe she ran home in the middle of the night. Ha..." Xu Yue yawned for a long time. "Weren't you guys cold last night? I was freezing to death."
Bai Jiaojiao chimed in, "My feet are cold, but they'll be fine once I fall asleep. Let's go buy a hot water bottle together today and put it in bed before we go to sleep."
"You're really quick-witted!" Xu Yue praised.
Zhang Mai, getting dressed on the top bunk, said, "Let's go buy it together then. Do you know where to buy it?"
"I know there's a department store near our school gate; it has a pretty good selection of things."
Bai Jiaojiao said.
"Hu Xiao, are you going?" Hu Xiao's bed was next to Zhang Mai's, and the two slept foot to foot. They made eye contact as they were getting dressed.
"go."
"Then let's go together." Xu Yue quite liked this kind of group activity, and she was much more awake.
Shu Manling said, "I don't need that thing, so I won't go."
No one pointed out her excuse, so Bai Jiaojiao said, "I might not be able to find the time. If you go, could you bring one back for me? I'll pay you how much it costs."
"What do you need me for since school just started?" Xu Yue asked, puzzled.
At this moment, Shu Manling smiled and said, "She's thinking about it."
They had been married for almost two years, and Bai Jiaojiao knew she had nothing to be ashamed of, but she still blushed.
"You're dating someone?" Xu Yue had just turned eighteen this year, and she was still in a stage of anticipation and longing but also very confused about such things. Hearing this made her even more excited.
"I'm already married. We enrolled in the same school this year. He's the one who helped me fix the stove in the dorm," Bai Jiaojiao confessed honestly.
"So this is the kind of family member you have! How old are you this year? You're already married? And you happen to be from our school. Did you two start dating when you were in school? Were you both academically excellent, which is why you got together?"
Xu Yue's questions came one after another, and Bai Jiaojiao yawned: "We weren't classmates. We only decided to take the college entrance exam together after we got married."
Xu Yue had been pestering Bai Jiaojiao all morning about her wedding, and she only stopped when the school leaders started speaking in the auditorium.
The opening ceremony included speeches from leaders and faculty representatives, as well as messages from senior students, and finally, a speech from a freshman representative.
Zhang Mai said, "We were completely clueless when we first arrived at the school, yet they were able to prepare speeches. How do you think the freshman representatives were chosen?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the freshman representative went up on stage.
Xu Yue's face darkened: "What other choice do we have but to use connections?"
Chen Meizhen delivered a passionate speech on stage. She wore a high ponytail, had delicate features, and looked very energetic. Her prepared speech was also positive and uplifting. If Xu Yue hadn't seen her behavior in the dormitory, she would have thought this freshman representative was a good choice.
Those who can get into Yenching University are all academically gifted, and no one is willing to admit defeat in this regard. Therefore, the representatives must be respected for their character.
Xu Yue said, "Having someone like this represent us is absolutely disgusting."
Bai Jiaojiao patted her hand and comforted her, "It's just a few words. Everyone will forget about it in a couple of days. We have a long life ahead of us. We'll surpass her through hard work."
"You're right, I don't believe she can get in through connections forever."
Xu Yue was young, but she was also a person of principle, and she immediately turned her grief and indignation into strength.
Chen Meizhen delivered her speech on stage like a proud swan, while Xu Yue in the audience wished she could close her ears.
After finally getting through those five minutes, Xu Yue still felt like her breakfast had gone up into her chest and esophagus.
The opening ceremony was supposed to last two hours, but the leaders' speeches went on and on. With each leader from each college adding up their own time, the meeting was extended quite a bit.
There was also a schedule for teaching the school song, which caused a delay, and the new students didn't leave the auditorium until 11 o'clock.
There weren't any conflicts with Shen Heng's roommates. The main problem was that when Shen Heng lay down on the bed, it was as if dark energy was emanating from the surroundings, so no one dared to make a loud noise.
After the meeting, he waited for Bai Jiaojiao to come out at the entrance of the auditorium.
"Chen Heng, aren't you going back to the dorm? There's a meeting in the college this afternoon. Why don't we buy lunch first? I just moved to a new place last night and didn't sleep well. I suspect the people upstairs can hear the snoring of that guy in our dorm last night," Yang Fan said with a bitter face.
"We're waiting for someone."
"You're waiting for someone? You know someone at Peking University? Who is it... Damn, hey, look ahead, see that girl! The one in the light blue cotton-padded jacket, see her?" Yang Fan patted Shen Heng's arm, very excited.
Shen Heng glanced ahead and raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Wow! I wonder which college she's from, she's so good-looking. Going to college is great... I've never seen anyone so good-looking. Do you think I have a chance?"
Yang Fan looked down and examined himself.
Shen Heng said, "You have no hope."
"My dad is a factory manager, and my mom works in a government office. We live in a small villa. There's still some hope, isn't there?"
These days, when women look for a partner, what they really want is simply to have enough to eat and wear.
Shen Heng shook his head: "You can't, but I can."
"You think you can do it?" Yang Fan is 1.75 meters tall. Even Shen Heng has to look up at him. This guy is like a bandit from Liangshan. It would be good if he didn't scare the young girl away!
"Do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Chen Hengdao.
"I think you've gone mad. Fine, tell me what you want to bet on."
