"Did you come here specifically to visit Jianhua University?"
Adele and the others were naturally willing to help this young man named "Xiu" enter Jianhua University. From his name, it can be seen that his family background is indeed not very good. Syllables such as "Xiu", "Linda" and "Mary" are only used by parents with little knowledge. They are common names among the lower class and are almost overused. But precisely because of their prevalence, they are more commonly used. Noble parents will expect their children to become unique stars, but lower class parents just hope that their children can be like most people, without illness or disaster, and live an ordinary life.
Xiu thanked them, then nodded and smiled, "Yes, she often talked to us about Jianhua University before. This is her favorite environment... I have always wanted to see the place where she lived."
“It’s actually meaningless.”
Adele spread her hands. "The teaching building, library, training ground, and sports field are nothing special like other universities. They are far inferior to Aletheia University. The only thing worth mentioning is that luxury cars are more common here."
"That's what she said." Xiu smiled, "But I had a lot of fun walking around the campus with her. It was also her first time to appreciate Jianhua University in the snow."
"Indeed." Yinggulit nodded: "When I was running around, I found that the East Lake was frozen over, and there were students skating on it."
"Ice skating!" Adele's eyes lit up, but she immediately moved closer to Xiu: "Forget it, except to go to the bathroom, I will never leave my bed again..."
I don’t know why, but Xiu felt very warm around him. Maybe it was the milk tea in the thermos bag that was dissipating the heat.
When they reached the fork in the campus, Lois noticed that Xiu was going in the same direction as them, so she looked at him warily: "Where are you going?"
"Girls' dormitory 21."
"She's in the same building as us!" Adele's eyes lit up: "Could it be that your girlfriend is someone I know!?"
After all, they just met by chance. Although Adele wanted to eat melons, she also knew that it was too abrupt to ask a stranger about his love experience. She couldn't help but remind him. This was real life, not a line where you could speak freely. Adele had to maintain the dignified and steady image of a beautiful college girl.
It’s different if it’s someone you know. It’s reasonable for a beautiful college girl to care about her friend’s love life, and it can even be used as an outstanding deed to get extra points in the comprehensive quality evaluation at the end of the semester!
"Maybe." Xiu shrugged, the frost falling on the ends of his hair, "She is a very lively person."
"But I know exactly who is in love in Building 21, and I even know who the couple is." Adele pondered, "Especially your long-distance relationship is unique, but I have never heard of anyone being in a long-distance relationship for nearly a year..."
"Because she never said it." Xiu smiled and said, "She probably never mentioned me to anyone else."
Adele looked at her roommates, and Lois suddenly asked, "Where are you from?"
"It's a very far place. I'm sure you haven't heard of it even if I tell you."
"So are you a two-winged magician? What about a one-winged magician?"
Xiu smiled and shook his head to indicate that he was neither. Ingridt also vaguely sensed something and asked, "Have you ever been to college? What job do you do now?"
Xiu seemed a little embarrassed: "I have never received formal magician education, and I don't have a job... Now I rely on selling things to make a living."
Now they can all be sure that this man... is the humble party in the relationship.
Although I don’t know what the girl’s conditions are, anyone who can study at Jianhua University can at least become a magician.
Only magicians have the opportunity to become star nobles. No matter how smart and hardworking ordinary people are, they can only become high-level officials. At most, they can be posthumously awarded the title of "Sword Lord". The gap between magicians and ordinary people is even greater than that between nobles and civilians.
The fastest way for ordinary people to join the aristocracy is to become a magician and choose a noble marriage. If the nobles want to maintain their titles, they must ensure that there are enough magicians in the family, otherwise they will not be able to pass the review of the House of Nobles. The only way for the nobles to increase their members is through marriage.
Therefore, although the aristocracy has been increasingly criticized in recent years, most people are still very satisfied with the status quo: the class mobility of the star aristocracy is always smooth, capable people will definitely be able to obtain resources, and incapable people will soon be kicked out, and there is no situation where incompetent people steal high positions.
The only thing worth criticizing is that the upper class has more educational resources, while the lower class can only rely on online education to learn by themselves. But at least on the surface, the Starry Kingdom allows anyone who is willing to work hard to find a way to advance.
In short, the woman will definitely be a noble magician in the future, while Xiu is just an ordinary young man from a remote area. The conditions of the two parties are completely mismatched. Although there is no age limit for magicians, if you don't lay a good foundation of knowledge and learning habits when you are young and have the best learning ability, it will be difficult to advance your magic to the silver level when you grow up.
But this is also very strange. If Xiu's conditions are so poor, why would the woman be willing to date him? Is he very handsome? Or does he have some great strengths?
Lois thought of something and asked, "Xiu, have you ever...sponsored your girlfriend?"
Xiu blinked and hesitated for a moment: "It can't be considered as financial support... but some of the property is originally shared by us. Sometimes she wants to buy new magic spirits and new miracles, and I don't have any other places to spend money, so naturally I will give it to her. In fact, it's not much money, and I don't care."
Case solved!
It is true!
Lois and the others sighed in their hearts and looked at Xiu with eyes full of pity.
In their minds, a love story of a green tea bitch and an ATM naturally emerged: the girl was probably a student from a small place, and although she was barely admitted to Jianhua University, the high tuition fees, the glamorous city life, and the charming and intoxicating student socializing soon made her meager living expenses quickly run out.
But she wanted to become a magician and stay in this city. She never wanted to go back to that small place again!
At this time, Xiu appeared. He probably had inherited assets from his family, so he could live comfortably even without working. The woman saw this and quickly let Xiu fall in love with her beauty. She didn't even pay much, after all, they had been in a long-distance relationship for a year, but Xiu was obsessed with his girlfriend in the big city and tried his best to meet her needs even if he had to sell his property.
Xiu didn't even think there was anything wrong with it, because he had determined that she was his future, so his money was both parties' money, and it was natural for him to invest in the woman.
I don’t know how much of his property he sold to support his girlfriend in buying magic and miracles…
No wonder Adele doesn't know who is in a long-distance relationship, because this is not a relationship at all, but the woman is playing with Xiu's feelings and defrauding his money. Xiu is just a stepping stone for the woman, and when Xiu's value is exhausted, or the woman no longer needs financial support, that is when their relationship ends.
Concealing Xiu's existence is the best evidence, because the woman never wants others to know that she has a boyfriend, and she wants to maintain a single image to the outside world.
If you are loved by someone you are not proud of, you naturally don’t want others to know.
This kind of plot is quite common in romance dramas, but this is the first time I have seen it in real life.
Adele and the others couldn't say anything. Firstly, it was other people's business, and secondly, they hadn't broken up. Moreover, they had just toured the campus together. Maybe the girl wanted to leave a decent ending for both parties.
Lois asked indirectly, "Do you plan to develop in Galaxie in the future?"
"It will be difficult for me to stay in Galaxia." Xiu said with a wry smile.
"What about your girlfriend?"
"She..." Xiu sighed, "She wants to leave with me, but I actually hope she stays in Galaxia. Flowers, operas, banquets, attention, she deserves all these wonderful things. Her friends and her career are all here. I always feel that I am the one who has implicated her."
Such a high level, actually retreating to advance!
Adele and Lois couldn't help but admire him. They also wondered how the woman would abandon this relationship in the future. After all, if it became big news, it would have a huge impact on her reputation. Unexpectedly, the woman had already laid the groundwork.
All of them are in the same academic year in dormitory 21, which means Xiu's girlfriend is a sophomore like them, and she still has at least two years before graduation. Her promise will never be fulfilled in a short period of time. On the contrary, Xiu will watch his girlfriend become more and more outstanding in these two years. In the end, of course, he will feel ashamed and leave on his own initiative.
This is very likely to happen. Xiu is the kind of young man who is innocent and shy. How can he see through the trap of love? He feels that he has brought trouble to the girl now, and he will definitely feel that he is not worthy of her in the future!
What a naive person he is. You can tell at first glance that he doesn't even know a few women. He is the pure type who wants to be with someone for the rest of his life as his first love.
"If you feel that this relationship brings you a lot of pressure, maybe giving up is an option." This is all Lois could advise.
Xiu shook his head: "It may be difficult, but I still want to bring her happiness with my own hands."
Adele stretched out her woolen-gloved hand and patted Xiu on the shoulder: "Come on, add my account later, and I can provide you with the most advanced relationship consultation and psychological counseling."
"No need, now I seek psychological counseling from the maids." Xiu smiled and said, "I can also test the maids' loyalty."
And a maid?
Lois asked curiously, "Does your family know about your relationship?"
"Yeah, you all know it."
"Who are they?"
Xiu was obviously stunned for a moment, and said in a very uncertain tone: "They are...sister, housekeeper, and maid?"
"So how do they feel about your relationship?"
“Basically everyone is against it.”
"Then are you going to keep going?"
"Of course." Xiu said firmly.
This ATM is hopeless, everyone thought.
"Ingrid," Adele suddenly said, "Look at the back of the person in front of you. Does she look like Iris?"
"It's her." Ingrid's face turned cold instantly and she rushed over quickly, but Adele was faster - she summoned a water ball, which hit the girl in front of her head accurately with a whoosh!
The water ball only had a slight impact, but the problem was that it was freezing cold, and the girl sneezed and got mad after being soaked like this. She turned around and saw Adele and the other two, and her pretty face showed a disgusted expression: "So it was you three."
Ingrid reached out to grab it, but was slapped away by the girl's companion. The man was tall, carrying a six-pointed medium-sized shield on his back. He was only wearing a single layer of clothes in the cold weather. There was a scar on the corner of his mouth. He was obviously a shield axe master who had been in battle for a long time.
Ingrid took two steps back, exhaled a long breath of white air, stared at the shield axe mage in front of her, with a solemn expression on her face.
"Iris, you've been hiding from us for so many days, and you finally dare to come out?" Adele gritted her teeth and said, "Give us our things back!"
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Iris wiped her wet bangs and said coldly, "I only know that you have to kneel down and apologize! According to school rules, if you provoke me like this, even if I fight back, the discipline committee can't find any fault with me!"
"Is there such a school rule?" Xiu was stunned.
"As long as they are not killed or maimed, it will only be a matter of deducting credits. A miracle of treatment can save them." Lois said softly, "You should leave first. This is none of your business."
Xiu looked at them. Although they had only been in contact for less than ten minutes, these three female college students were not the type to deliberately cause trouble. Now that a fight was about to break out, they were actually going to accompany him to the end?
"What are you still pretending for!?" Adele shouted, "Everyone knows that it was you who led people to ransack our dormitory. Not only did you take away all of Sonia's things, you also took our things!"
"Forget about everything else, just return everything Sonia gave us before!"
"Oh...?" Xiu raised his eyebrows.
