After emphasizing this, Shu Jia continued with a sigh, "To be honest, you two are really destined for each other. You didn't ask each other anything, but you still ended up in the same university and the same major."
Chi Chan was speechless. Shu Jia really had a talent for gossip.
She can connect things that are completely unrelated.
"We're not meant to be, we've completely broken up. We're like strangers now."
"Ah—!!! Say it again, I don't believe this is true!!!"
Shu Jia's voice, even through the phone, almost pierced Chi Chan's eardrums.
After the initial shock, she sighed, "Why didn't you seize the opportunity? Ye Zijing is abroad now. You and your crush are not only in the same school but also in the same major. Being close to him gives you a head start! My little Chi Chan!"
Chi Chan: "No chance. Right now, I'm only focused on my career."
With her mind solely focused on her career, Chi Chan seemed to have returned to the time when she was studying at the No. 1 High School in the city.
While at the No. 1 High School in the city, she lived a very simple life, going only between school and home.
Now, aside from attending classes, she spends almost every day in the library.
They leave early and return late.
"Little Chanchan, why are you back again, all under the stars and moon? We've been waiting for you so long the flowers are about to wither."
This is what her three roommates often teased her about.
Chi Chan usually just laughed it off.
Today, despite the barrage of messages in the dormitory group chat, Chi Chan finally stopped working overtime at the library.
I met up with my roommates at the school gate at 5:30.
When Chi Chan arrived, the three of them were already gathered together, chatting animatedly.
"Xiao Chan, why did you come out looking so disheveled?"
Li Jingjing looked Chi Chan up and down a few times, and was quite distraught.
Chi Chan looked at herself from head to toe. She was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt underneath a windproof jacket, and casual pants with sneakers on her lower body.
That's great! Sitting in the library is so comfortable.
Do you know what we're going to do later?
Gu Jia asked.
They were afraid that Chi Chan would think tonight was just an ordinary dormitory dinner.
"I know! It's a get-together!"
Gu Jia fainted _(|3)∠)_.
As expected, her previous worries were entirely correct.
"Little Chanchan, haven't you noticed that the three of us are acting differently today than usual?"
Jiang Li also said.
"What's different? Does it look better?"
Chi Chan said casually, praising all three of them at the same time.
"Bingo! You're right. Today is a get-together for our two 8-year classes, in other words, a social gathering! And this is how you dress for a social gathering?"
Jiang Li was disappointed in him.
If time weren't so short, Jiang Li really wanted to drag Chi Chan back to the dormitory, remodel her, and then bring her out again.
Gu Jia: "And I heard that Ji Siyuan will also be attending today!"
Li Jingjing: "Yes, if I could have a relationship with Ji Siyuan, my life would be worth it."
Jiang Li: "Hahaha, you're right, sister. That's what I think too."
Chi Chan: "But there's only one Ji Siyuan, not enough for three of you!"
"Shut up!"
The three spoke in unison.
Chi Chan:......
She should just shut up.
"If I can't hook up with Ji Siyuan, then Li Jiahao will do too. His looks are pretty much to my liking!"
Li Jingjing stroked her chin thoughtfully.
Then she continued, "Gu Jiangyun from Class 2 is also quite good-looking. I heard he was the top scorer in their province..."
"Ji Siyuan was also the top scorer in the province!"
Gu Jia added a sentence.
"Well—out of ten people who get into Tsinghua University, nine of them are probably top scorers in their province, city, or county!"
Gu Jia, for example, was the top scorer in her city.
"Shut up!"
Chi Chan:......
She discovered that her roommates were only normal when it came to studying; in other aspects, they seemed a bit lacking.
Chi Chan kept her mouth shut and listened to the three of them chattering all the way.
Fortunately, the dinner location was not far from the school.
Otherwise, Chi Chan would be so tired of hearing all the gossip on campus that her ears would be calloused.
The restaurant has two floors, and the two classes, with over sixty students, filled the second floor completely.
Following closely behind the three dormitory members, Chi Chan found a seat and sat down.
As soon as they sat down, Li Jingjing said regretfully, "Oh dear! We're late, Ji Siyuan's table is full."
Gu Jia slapped her thigh: "That's right! When we play team games later, we need to be quick and pick a spot that's a little away from Ji Si!"
Chi Chan glanced at the person next to her. From her seat, she could see Ji Siyuan's profile when she looked up.
At this moment, Ji Siyuan was lazily leaning back in his seat playing on his phone.
A graceful and intellectual figure sat beside him, whispering something to him, with Ji Siyuan occasionally responding.
"Hey, hey, hey—you three, look! Isn't that Fu Wanjia sitting next to Ji Siyuan? I heard she's been getting quite close to Ji Siyuan lately. Could they be dating already?"
"That's impossible! I haven't heard that Ji Siyuan is getting close to anyone. It's Fu Wanjia who has a one-sided crush on him!"
"Holy crap, no wonder he's Ji Siyuan! Even a rich and beautiful girl like Fu Wanjia can't catch his eye. What am I going to do? I like him even more now!"
The three who had just been talking about wanting to date Ji Siyuan on the way here suddenly became melon-eating morsels in a melon patch, gossiping about the gossip to their hearts' content.
Chi Chan certainly knew Fu Wanjia; in fact, it was safe to say that everyone in the medical department of Tsinghua University knew Fu Wanjia.
The Fu family has been practicing medicine for generations, making them a true medical family.
Fu Wanjia's grandfather, Fu Qishan, is now the dean of the School of Medicine at Tsinghua University and a leading figure in liver transplantation research in China.
Not only does she have an excellent family background, but Fu Wanjia herself is also extremely talented in medicine.
During her high school years, Fu Wanjia was already able to publish her own medical review papers in the core medical journal, The Lancet.
At the opening ceremony for this year's freshmen, Fu Wanjia delivered a speech as a representative of the freshmen.
This is an honor that even Ji Siyuan, the highest scorer in this year's class at Tsinghua University, has never received.
This demonstrates Fu Wanjia's excellence in the medical field.
"Sigh—Fu Wanjia has already taken a liking to Ji Siyuan, what chance do the rest of us have!"
Gu Jia waved her hand and said, "From now on, let's ship them as a couple. They're a perfect match!"
"That's right. Fu Wanjia has already tried it, so how could the others have the courage? They all feel ashamed!"
Jiang Li also sighed.
His gaze quickly swept across the restaurant, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces.
So she wasn't the only one sighing!
That would make her very happy!
He picked up his chopsticks and urged the others to hurry up and grab the rice and vegetables.
The food was plentiful, and their class teacher even brought over several cases of wine from the neighboring biology department.
This wine was brewed by a professor in the School of Biological Sciences who conducts microbial research; it's his private collection.
It must be because the homeroom teacher and the professor are a married couple that they were able to secure this benefit for the students attending the dinner.
Chi Chan really likes this wine; it has a light fruity aroma and is slightly sweet and soothing to the throat.
There was plenty of alcohol, and before she knew it, Chi Chan had finished two bottles all by herself.
