Surrounded by an environment where everyone speaks English, Xiaoduo's spoken English is improving rapidly.
When she goes out, she also tries to practice speaking boldly with others in order to make her spoken English more authentic and natural.
Besides these, Xiaoduo also learned to drive from the bodyguards.
Although she always has bodyguards driving her around, it's much more convenient for her to learn to drive herself.
Even with four bodyguards accompanying her abroad, she still felt somewhat flustered in that foreign land.
After adapting for a while, she felt more at ease.
The time for school to start has finally come.
On the first day of school, two bodyguards, one driving and the other accompanying her, took her to school.
After arriving at the school and finding a parking spot, the two bodyguards didn't leave; they waited for her to finish school so they could go back with her.
As for the personal matters of the two bodyguards during the waiting period, Xiaoduo didn't need to worry about them.
Walking on campus, looking at the faces of all skin colors around her, Xiaoduo took a deep breath to cheer herself up.
The largest group is white people, followed by black people and other people of color. Asian faces are the fewest, but they are still present.
Therefore, Xiaoduo didn't seem out of place walking among them.
The first day of school for new students included an opening ceremony, and Xiaoduo found a seat.
The opening ceremonies abroad, well, they're quite different from the ones she's seen in China.
Besides the ceremony, she also found her department and class.
There were far fewer of her fellow graduate students, and she also met her advisor.
In fact, professors usually conduct interviews. The recommendation letter that Mrs. Sun obtained played a significant role, which is why Xiao Duo is meeting her professor for the first time now.
To be honest, the tutor's impression of Xiaoduo was so-so. He only thought that Xiaoduo was a student from a particularly well-off family and that she had used some "means" to get admitted. He also thought that Xiaoduo's academic performance was not necessarily better than that of other students.
However, after getting to know her and chatting with her, I found that this Chinese girl was quite smart, so I decided to observe her for a while longer.
Xiaoduo finally breathed a sigh of relief after passing her mentor's test.
As she left the classroom and headed to the parking lot, she heard someone calling her, surprisingly in Chinese.
When Xiao Duo turned around, she saw Han Yi and looked shocked.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm also a graduate student here. I saw you from afar at the opening ceremony just now, and I thought I was seeing things. I didn't expect it to really be you. What a coincidence!"
Xiao Duo had made some guesses when she saw him on the plane, but it turned out that Han Yi really was here to study.
This time, she didn't presumptuously think that Han Yi had come for her sake. After all, studying abroad was such a big deal, so she really thought it was just a coincidence.
Although she disliked Han Yi because of his past pursuit of her and his criminal record, seeing fellow countrymen in a foreign land made Xi Xiaoduo's dislike fade.
She gave a faint smile. "It is indeed a coincidence."
Are you going back?
"Um."
"Want to ride the bus together?"
"No need, I have a car." After hesitating for a moment, Xiaoduo still said, "Where do you live? I can give you a ride."
Han Yi was quite tempted, but considering his long-term goals, he declined. "No need, I can take the bus myself. See you another day."
Seeing Han Yi wave goodbye and leave, Xiao Duo felt much more at ease.
It seems they really are here to study, which is for the best.
After Xiao Duo got into the car and left, Han Yi finally came out from the corner.
Even though he came from a good family in China, once he went abroad, he was only slightly better off than the average international student. However, Li Xiaoduo was just like she was back home, with a private car and bodyguards.
He had some prior knowledge of Li Xiaoduo's family background, but now he realized he knew far too little.
Let's get back to the domestic situation.
As soon as school started, Erwa was dragged by his roommate to greet the new students. Under the guise of serving the younger students, he actually had his own ulterior motives: to see if he could meet any pretty female students and take advantage of his proximity.
Erwa was sitting there obediently helping with the registration. He had just finished registering one person and hadn't even looked up when a surprised voice rang out in front of him.
"Brother Yanxun."
He looked up and saw Wang Lingling's surprised face.
"Lingling! What are you doing here?"
Wang Lingling took out her college admission letter and waved it in front of his face. "Brother Yanxun, I'll be your junior from now on."
Erwa hadn't expected this, but he immediately smiled. "You've already finished the college entrance exam? Congratulations!"
Seeing that Erwa and Wang Lingling knew each other, the people next to them asked Erwa to help Wang Lingling carry her things.
"Your uncle and aunt didn't come?" They're locals, so it's unlikely.
Wang Lingling smiled smugly. "I didn't let them come. It's not far from home, and I went back home after Sunday."
“That’s true.” Erwa nodded.
Erwa personally carried the things to Wang Lingling's dormitory and helped her unpack before getting up to leave.
But as he was about to leave, Wang Lingling asked, "Brother Yanxun, when you're done with your work, can we have a meal together? I don't know what's good to eat at school."
When food is mentioned, Erwa perks up. "Okay, then I'll take you to our school cafeteria when it's mealtime."
He knew exactly which food stalls in the school cafeteria had the best dishes.
As soon as Erwa left, Wang Lingling's new roommate asked, "Was that your brother just now?"
Wang Lingling blushed a little. "He's an older brother from a family he's related to, not a relative."
"That means childhood sweethearts!" the girls exclaimed excitedly.
A lot of romance novels from the island have been sent over this time, and the young girls are full of longing for love.
Encouraged by the commotion, Wang Lingling muttered a couple of denials in a low voice and then said nothing more.
The Wang couple thought their daughter needed to practice her independence, so they didn't come along and were worried about her at home.
Mrs. Wang muttered to herself, "You know, now that Lingling is going to the same university as Yan Xun, could she be thinking something about it?"
"We're overjoyed that our child did so well on the exam; you're just overthinking it."
"Then I'll just assume I was overthinking it."
Erwa not only arrived on time to take Wang Lingling to the cafeteria for lunch, but also enthusiastically introduced her to the various specialties of the cafeteria, as well as some little-known facts that only older students would know.
Wang Lingling was in a particularly good mood all day.
Erwa happened to be calling home and mentioned that Wang Lingling had become his junior at school.
Zhao Qinglan was only slightly surprised and didn't think much of it. After all, Wang Lingling was a local of Shanghai, so it was normal for her to attend one of the best universities in Shanghai.
"Since we're in the same school, you should take care of them when they need your help."
"I know, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, she was still whispering to her husband.
"The eldest son has found a wife on his own. I wonder what kind of woman the second son will bring back?"
Li Huai chuckled. "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; when the time comes, they will naturally know."
