Chapter 73: Are you reluctant to let me go to college?
The first-tier score line for their class was 510 points, and Yu Xiang passed the line by 8 points.
Although it is not very good for their school which is full of top players, it is already a great result for Yu Xiang.
Yu Xiang calmed down, went downstairs with Jiang Ci, and told Chen Xiaomie about this. Chen Xiaomie gave her son a big hug in ecstasy, and then called Yu Jinsheng who was at work to tell him the good news.
The rest of the matter had nothing to do with Yu Xiang. While Chen Xiaomie was spreading the news everywhere, he pulled Jiang Ci out of the door and found a secluded and slightly cooler place to stay.
Jiang Ci sat down with him on the bench, turned around and looked at Yu Xiang staring into the distance in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yu Xiang withdrew his thoughts upon hearing this, sat up straight, looked at Jiang Ci, and replied, "I don't know either. I always feel that my mood is very subtle."
Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"That's probably it..." Yu Xiang simply rested one elbow on the back of the chair, supporting his chin with the movement. "I originally thought getting into a second-tier public university would be great, but this score is directly above the first-tier line. It's a bit beyond my expectations. I can't believe it for a moment."
"But that's the truth." Jiang Ci blinked. "And from the admissions perspective, even though you've passed the first-tier line, getting into a first-tier university is still relatively difficult. You're more likely to get into a good second-tier university—so in a sense, this result is within your expectations."
"That makes sense."
"Do you dare to believe it now?"
Yu Xiang nodded thoughtfully.
Jiang Ci immediately stood up and extended a hand towards him: "Then let's go home."
——
Everything went pretty smoothly after that.
"What?! You mean that not only did you successfully get into a first-tier university with a major that interests you, but this school also happens to be in the same university town as Jiang Ci's school?!" After learning about Yu Xiang's legendary admission result, Lu Ziyang was so shocked that he directly started a voice message in the class group.
Zhang Miao added considerately: Not only are they in the same university town, but they’re right next door.
Lu Ziyang: "Oh my god...you two are really...f*ck, I really don't know what to say. You two are so destined to be together. You are indeed good brothers."
Ci: Not good brothers.
Lu Ziyang: "What's going on? Are you guys having a conflict again?"
Ci: No. We are together.
After a moment of dead silence, Lu Ziyang typed a bunch of question marks on the public screen.
And not only him, but also a large number of people who were watching on the screen were blown away, and they started to post question marks one after another.
Although the students in Class 4 were very shocked by this incident, most of them still gave their sincere blessings without hesitation.
But some remained silent.
The school season is coming soon.
Jiang Ci's university is one of the best key universities in the country, and its school starts half a month earlier than Yu Xiang's school. But fortunately, it is in the neighboring city and not too far away, so Yu Xiang decided to continue enjoying his vacation at home "with tears in his eyes" without much hesitation.
"Are you really not going to go with me?" Jiang Ci asked this a few days before departure.
"I want to too, but I still have about ten days before I can report." Yu Xiang spread his hands helplessly, looking regretful.
Jiang Ci pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then gently reminded her, "Don't you want to go on a trip, experience the local customs and culture, and visit the school in advance?"
However, Yu Xiang didn't hear the hidden meaning in his words at all: "Oh, there are plenty of opportunities, it doesn't matter if these few days are enough."
Jiang Ci was choked and speechless, and in the end he didn't say anything more.
It was not until three days later when Yu Xiang couldn't sleep and was staring at the ceiling in a daze in the middle of the night that he suddenly realized what was happening. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Jiang Ci: Can't you bear to leave me?
After posting, I worried that I was being too sentimental. I glanced at the time in the upper right corner, thinking that Jiang Ci should be asleep at this time. Just as I was about to withdraw the message -
But before he could reply, Jiang Ci replied: You finally found out?
These six words made Yu Xiang feel guilty, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
His fingertips paused above the screen for a few seconds, and then he typed a reply: Who told you to beat around the bush? If you just say it directly, won’t I understand?
Jiang Ci: Because I know this request may be a bit willful, so I will try my best to respect your choice.
What he meant was that if Yu Xiang really didn't want to go, he wouldn't force him.
Yu Xiang: If you say you are reluctant to leave and want me to go with you, I will seriously consider it.
Jiang Ci: So what you mean is that you didn’t think about it seriously before?
Although it was just words, Yu Xiang had already imagined Jiang Ci asking this question with an expressionless face and a chilly tone: "..." Buhao.
Because he really didn't think that much at the time, and in a sense he really didn't consider it seriously.
But it’s okay, it’s a great help to admit one’s mistakes and improve. Yu Xiang slid to his knees very quickly: I am guilty.
Jiang Ci replied with a thinking emoticon.
Seeing this, Yu Xiang took advantage of the situation and pursued him: But the crime is not punishable by death, so it should be possible to make amends, right?
Jiang Ci: How do you want to make amends?
Yu Xiang thought for a while, but couldn’t think of anything suitable: I haven’t thought about it yet, so I’ll just owe it for now?
Jiang Ci: Okay.
The topic ended, but Yu Xiang still didn't feel sleepy, so he just started a new one: It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?
Jiang Ci replied immediately: I can’t sleep.
Yu Xiang: Why?
Jiang Ci: I miss you.
Yu Xiang: “…”
Although he couldn't see his face now, he knew that his face was definitely turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, he was also glad that Jiang Ci couldn't see his face now, otherwise his reserved image would be completely ruined.
Yu Xiang took three deep breaths in a row and managed to calm down. He replied with a reserved look: Why are you suddenly so cheesy?
Jiang Ci: Didn’t you say not to beat around the bush?
The bullet fired a few minutes ago hit him right in the middle of his eyebrows. Yu Xiang was speechless and could only send out a message: Okay, I recognize your ability to take action.
Then Yu Xiang tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep.
A few days later, Yu Xiang also set off to report to school.
Chen Xiaomie and Yu Jinsheng originally offered to take him there, but they were both temporarily held up by other things, so Yu Xiang had to carry his luggage there by himself.
There were many seniors at the station who came to greet the new students. As soon as they saw someone who looked like a new student coming out of the station, they immediately came forward to greet them enthusiastically.
Yu Xiang was no exception. As soon as he appeared within the volunteers' sight, he was "surrounded" by several people, and several warm greetings came from different directions at the same time.
"Hello handsome, are you a freshman at H University?"
"If the school has sent a special car to pick you up, you can follow our volunteers~"
"Senior can help you carry your luggage!"
The enthusiasm was so excessive that Yu Xiang didn't even know which one to answer first. His eyes swept over the unfamiliar faces one by one, and finally he suddenly caught a glimpse of an overly familiar figure standing not far away.
"Thank you, seniors, but don't bother me. I have other arrangements, so I'll leave first." Yu Xiang thanked the volunteers politely, and then without waiting for their response, he hurriedly pulled his suitcase and walked towards the figure.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you couldn't come because you had a lecture?" He tried to maintain a seemingly calm expression, pretending not to care and asked Jiang Ci, who was not supposed to be here.
The latter took Yu Xiang's suitcase very naturally and replied, "The inspection was not strict. I slipped out the back door after signing in."
"Sneaked out? What if you were discovered?" Yu Xiang raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
Jiang Ci pushed his suitcase out of the station and replied calmly, "It'll be fine if you don't say such bad things."
Most of the burden was transferred to Jiang Ci, and Yu Xiang, feeling relieved, became even more excited: "This is a probabilistic event. Even if it really happens, you can't blame me - so what will happen?"
"I would be called in by the counselor for a talk, have to write a self-criticism, and then read it aloud at the radio station."
Because Jiang Ci said this with such seriousness, Yu Xiang actually believed it a little: "No way? They're still using the same punishment system as high school in a university? Key universities are just different. They're really strict."
Jiang Ci curled his lips and continued to tease him: "Yeah. So if we are really discovered, I can only drag you to take the blame."
Yu Xiang was indeed horrified. "I can't let you do this! I didn't force you to come pick me up. Our school thoughtfully provided a special car. If I hadn't seen you, I would... Anyway, why didn't you send a message before you came? Aren't you afraid that I wouldn't have seen you at all and would have just left with the volunteers?"
"If that's the case, then I can only intercept you when you're halfway there." Jiang Ci replied calmly.
"Okay, you're worthy of it."
After arriving at the university town, Jiang Ci accompanied him through the registration process, helped him pack up the dormitory, and finally went to the nearest cafeteria to have lunch before leaving.
Yu Xiang’s roommates arrived in the afternoon. They were three outgoing guys. They were said to be from other places, but they had adapted well to the place.
These two days are registration days. Although there are no classes, the various trivial matters are enough to keep the freshmen busy and dizzy.
This also successfully erased many of their beautiful fantasies about college, and they gradually realized that things were not that simple.
"Brothers, have you seen the notification in the class group?" One of the roommates had just come back from outside and howled into the dormitory as soon as he entered the door.
"No, what did you say?" The other two people were pulling Yu Xiang to play games together, and they replied without turning their heads when they heard this.
"Military training. The notice said we're going to have joint military training with the neighboring Q University."
"Let's unite—wait, what's the big deal?"
Of the three of them, Yu Xiang's reaction was the biggest—with a flick of his hand, he flashed directly into the boss's face. But he couldn't care less at the moment. He turned around and confirmed with his roommate, "Is that the Q I was thinking of?"
"Yeah, who else could it be? Is there another person called Q?" The roommate closed the door. "The freshman group is going crazy, everyone's asking how we deserve to be able to do military training with those top students."
"Then there's no need to be so self-deprecating. Top students may be good at studying, but they may not be physically strong. If we really had to train them, we'd be no worse than them... Hey, Xiaoyu, are you still going to fight? Why aren't you moving?"
"You guys play, I won't play for now." Yu Xiang's mind was no longer on the game. After quitting the game, he picked up his phone, found the class group, and carefully read the notice about military training from beginning to end.
Q University is the university that Jiang Ci attends, which means he has to go through military training with him!
