Zhang Hongmei and the other three followed John to complete all the formalities, and the four of them also discussed the dormitory.
Zhang Hongmei believes that dormitories are still necessary, but she prefers to live at home most of the time, so that she can have a place to stay at school in case of special circumstances.
The three boys didn't think as much as Zhang Hongmei did, but Zeng Zhongkang had accepted the task of taking care of and protecting Zhang Hongmei, and he would definitely follow behind her.
As for Cheng Guangxu, it's up to him to choose. The main issue is that Zhang Hongmei doesn't know how far her place is from here, so she didn't refuse the dormitory arranged by the school.
Zhao Tiancheng was getting very anxious waiting outside. Why hadn't she come out yet? He told the guard and went back into the school.
He finally found them and learned that all four of them had been admitted to B. The excitement and pride he felt made his heart race.
It took him a while to calm down before he stepped forward and said, "Well done, really well done."
Zhang Hongmei and the other three were also infected by Zhao Tiancheng's excitement. In fact, Zhang Hongmei had not been in the mood at all. Ever since Principal Ellington announced that the four of them had been admitted, she had been following along like a puppet.
Inspired by Zhao Tiancheng's excited words, he regained his composure.
The four of them stared dumbfounded at Zhao Tiancheng's ridiculous laughter. This cringe-worthy scene was witnessed by Principal Ellington, who was standing by the window. He shook his head and laughed. So all that maturity and composure from before was just an act. That's right, this is how young people should act.
"Have you completed all the procedures? Have you received notification about the start date of school?"
"Yes, they informed us that we have one day to settle in tomorrow, and classes will officially start the day after tomorrow, but the day after that is Saturday."
"Hehe, that's good, that's good. It's almost eleven o'clock now, let's go to the National University and see how things are going there?"
"Mr. Zhao, shall we set off then? I wonder how far it is from here to the National University?"
"Hehe, there are still three stops to go. Let's go." After saying that, Zhao Tiancheng led the way, and the four of them followed behind him as they left the school.
"Zhang Hongmei, I didn't expect the dormitory to be so nice?"
"Hehe, I think it's good too. I'll confirm this afternoon how far the room my family arranged for me is from here? If it's too far, I'll stay there too."
"Have your family arranged accommodations here?"
"Yes, I'm going with Aunt Wang. Zeng Zhongkang is coming too. I was going to invite you to come as well, but the dorm environment is really nice, so you can decide for yourself."
"I won't go. I'm afraid I won't have enough time, you know. I still need to study mechanics."
"Okay, you can come to my house on Saturday and Sunday for a nice meal, we can all eat together."
"That's great, I didn't eat enough this morning, I feel like I didn't eat anything at all."
"Hehe, that's because you're not used to it yet. You'll get used to it in a while." The two of them talked in hushed tones the whole way. The other three didn't say anything. Zhao Tiancheng was a bit far away and couldn't hear what they were saying. The other two were simply not talkative, so they fell behind.
Upon arriving at the National University, Zhao Tiancheng inquired with the guards. Because the black-haired men were so eye-catching and memorable, the guards enthusiastically told Zhao Tiancheng that they had not yet come out.
Would you like to go inside and take a look?
"I think I'd better not, I'm afraid I'll miss out on visiting them later. I can come back and visit another time if I have the chance."
"That's fine. I'll go in and find them. You guys wait here?"
The four nodded and watched Zhao Tiancheng go inside. The four then sat on a bench.
The usually taciturn Cai Peilin finally spoke up, "I feel relieved now."
Zhang Hongmei smiled and said, "Yes, we can finally feel at ease. From now on, we have to work hard."
Zeng Zhongkang remained silent, while Cheng Guangxu switched to his talkative mode.
"Zhang Hongmei, our foreign language skills are still not good enough, I don't know what to do?"
"Listen more, observe more, communicate more with people, and dare to speak up. This is not something you can learn overnight."
"Then how come your foreign language skills are so good?"
Zhang Hongmei chuckled and said, "I'm smarter than you."
It was originally a joke, but it was agreed upon by Cheng Guangxu and Cai Peilin, who both nodded in agreement with Zhang Hongmei's statement. Zeng Zhongkang, standing nearby, watched Zhang Hongmei with amusement.
Zhang Hongmei was speechless. She realized she should joke with them less in the future, since they could take such things seriously.
“I was just joking,” Zhang Hongmei said dryly.
“I’m not kidding, you’re just smarter than us.” Cai Peilin nodded after saying that.
"Alright, alright, let's put this topic behind us."
Zhang Hongmei watched the pedestrians riding past on bicycles and asked, "I'm also going to buy a bicycle this afternoon. What about you?"
"Hehe, I don't have enough money, so I won't buy it. Who knows how much money I'll have to spend in the next few years? I'd better save some." Cheng Guangxu smiled honestly, not feeling embarrassed about not having enough money.
Cai Peilin nodded in agreement.
“I’ll buy one too. I’m going to go with you. If you’re staying at the hotel, I’ll stay there too. But it’s better to have a means of transportation. You two can use mine. It would be a waste for us to buy so many.”
"Okay, this afternoon we'll decide on a place to stay and then go buy a bicycle. It's more convenient to have a car for lodging."
"Since school hasn't officially started yet, we still have a day and a half to get familiar with the surroundings."
"It's best to go in groups, and try not to go out if you can avoid it. After all, things aren't peaceful right now, and the two countries aren't at peace yet. It's better for you to stay put," Zeng Zhongkang solemnly warned Zhang Hongmei.
He was deflated. Yes, they were still fighting. He should try not to go out. But thinking that Zhao Tiancheng and the others were safe outside, he knew he wouldn't be so unlucky.
Zeng Zhongkang seemed to see through Zhang Hongmei's thoughts: "Don't take any chances. Zhao Tiancheng and the others have lived here for almost 20 years. Even so, I think they will try to minimize going out now."
Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at Zeng Zhongkang. "I know, I'm not going out." The old woman kept nagging.
"Hehe, it's not impossible for you to go out, but you have to minimize it, and you must have me with you."
The other two probably knew that Zeng Zhongkang had come to protect Zhang Hongmei. Cai Peilin didn't know, but Cheng Guangxu knew a little about Zhang Hongmei's good family background. Neither of them were talkative, so neither of them responded.
Zhang Hongmei didn't want to continue the topic. But she wasn't unaware of right and wrong, so she didn't confront Zeng Zhongkang. Who knew what would happen in the future? Besides, Gu Chuanming had repeatedly told her to accept Zeng Zhongkang's protection before she came.
