Looking at her packed schedule, Su Chen angrily took a sip of her sugary soda.
Roommate A: "Come on, Su Chen, let's go get lunch!"
Su Chen shook her head and quickly packed her schoolbag. "No, I have to check my GPA. It's going to drop below 2 soon, and I'm not going to graduate."
"So you think you can raise your GPA by skipping lunch?" Roommate A scoffed.
Roommate B: "Exactly! Who told you not to work hard before? What's the use of worrying now?"
Su Chen sighed heavily. Indeed, this GPA was something she had brought upon herself.
Of course, it's also because she doesn't have the same amazing memory as her other roommates. While others can memorize all the key points of a semester's worth of classes in a week, Su Chen can't.
Moreover, given her already poor memory, the fact that she studied at the same pace as her god-like roommates meant the inevitable result was... failing her exams!
Su Chen went to the machine on the second floor of the teaching building to check her GPA, and sighed heavily once again.
My roommate is right. Whether she eats or not, her GPA is stuck at the line of not being able to graduate.
"Sigh... I guess I should give up on finance. I'll pass the accounting exam first; I really don't have time to study anymore." Su Chen sighed heavily again, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and walked to the cafeteria alone.
The cafeteria seats were all taken, so Su Chen had to stand and wait. When it was time to eat, she quickly ate a few bites and went to the teaching building.
"Sigh...when will this ever end?" Su Chen sighed again.
At the same time, she found herself feeling very down lately, no... quite down.
Why do I always feel so empty inside? What could be the reason?
On the night before the exam, after lights out at 11 p.m., everyone in the dormitory turned on their own nightlights and flipped through their books, hoping that everything they studied that night would be on the exam the next day.
Su Chen turned on her bedside lamp to read, but as she flipped through the pages, she began to drift off, and a man in white inexplicably appeared in her mind.
His white outer robe fluttered, his long hair cascading down his back. He turned his head slightly, a slight smile curving his lips beneath his high, straight nose, and his magnetic voice drifted to her ear. He said, "Su Chen."
Su Chen's expression faltered, and she looked at the large amount of text on the book as if she didn't recognize it at all.
Her mind went blank, and she could no longer concentrate on the book.
What's going on? Why did a man suddenly pop into her mind? And a rather handsome man at that. Although... she only saw his profile from afar.
Su Chen covered her head and muttered to herself, "Su Chen has to study! You can't fail your courses! You still have to graduate and find a job!"
However... her mind seemed to be out of control, and she started thinking about that man again.
"What's going on? Su Chen! Even if you're a hopeless romantic, you can't just create a man out of thin air to be a hopeless romantic, can you?"
Su Chen quickly sprayed some toner on her face to calm herself down.
I managed to read for a while, but the more I read, the more I felt that I was doomed tomorrow, so I simply turned off the lamp and lay on the bed like a corpse.
They claim they need to be well-rested for tomorrow's exam, but in reality, they've already given up.
Su Chen couldn't sleep.
She thought about many things, such as whether failing her exam tomorrow and dropping her GPA below 2 would mean she wouldn't get her degree, whether someone like her, who was only mediocre, would be able to find a job after graduation, and whether someone like her would be able to find a boyfriend...
