Chapter 136 Missing
Chapter 136 Missing
After putting the luggage downstairs, the two thanked the senior student who was looking after them, and then followed the senior student upstairs to register for admission.
When Tao Shuxin saw the little girls coming and going, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she regretted forcing Xu Mingyuan to apply to the College of Literature.
Jiangcheng University is a comprehensive university, and it has a School of Science. You can just let him apply for a niche science department. Although it is far away, it saves you the trouble.
The imbalance between men and women is too serious. Tao Shuxin suddenly felt a lot of psychological pressure.
However, Tao Shuxin's worries were unnecessary. They were not students from the same class and would hardly have any intersection throughout their entire college career.
If Xu Mingyuan really wanted to hook up with young girls, he could have found one in the School of Science. It would be better for him to worry about whether he would fail the exam.
I filled out the form, paid the fee, and listened to a brief introduction from the beautiful counselor.
I looked at the number of students in the class. After the expansion of world history this year, there are 36 students in total, 17 boys and 19 girls.
The male-female ratio in this unpopular major is relatively balanced, which made Xu Mingyuan feel relieved. If it were a class like the Chinese Language and Literature class with few boys, the remaining boys would have too many trivial things to deal with every day.
In less than half an hour, Xu Mingyuan finished dealing with everything and went straight to find Tao Shuxin to see if she had handled it.
However, seeing Tao Shuxin still waiting obediently outside the door, standing there stupidly with the admission letter in her hands, her whole body was tense, and the forced calm on her little face was almost turning into panic.
"Xiao Taotao, why are you standing here like an idiot? Just go in and pay."
Xu Mingyuan went over and patted her shoulder.
"You are here at last!"
Seeing Xu Mingyuan coming, Tao Shuxin relaxed instantly.
There were a group of parents queuing with their children, so she didn't have the nerve to compete with them.
"You are so stupid. Even in such a situation, you are still clamoring to report in person?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"You're not here?"
Tao Shuxin muttered to herself, but she no longer tried to be stubborn.
Xu Mingyuan pulled her into the office, but seeing that she was surrounded by parents of students and the teacher across the table, Tao Shuxin did not dare to be too ostentatious and secretly withdrew her hand.
Chinese Language and Literature is a large department with nearly 400 students. It is normal that the teachers cannot take care of them all.
Xu Mingyuan walked up to her and took out a form, asking Tao Shuxin to fill it out herself. He then took her bag and unzipped it.
"Hey, is your period here?" Xu Mingyuan turned his head and asked.
"Go to hell!"
Tao Shuxin snatched the bag back with a red face, found the ID card and money and threw them over.
"Drink more hot water." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"..."
Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes and ignored him.
With Xu Mingyuan's help, Tao Shuxin's admission process was much simpler and didn't even take twenty minutes.
"Don't you need to ask the teacher?"
Tao Shuxin, who was pulled away by Xu Mingyuan, asked curiously.
"The counselor will come to your dormitory tonight to look for you. There's no need to ask now."
The counselors of Chinese Language and Literature are extremely busy, answering all kinds of questions from parents all the time. Why should we join in the fun now?
I first sent Tao Shuxin to the downstairs of the dormitory. I saw her using all her strength to move the suitcase to the stairs, and she really looked like she was going to carry it upstairs by herself.
Xu Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he went over to help her pick it up.
"Hmm? Can you come into the girls' dormitory?"
Tao Shuxin hurriedly grabbed Xu Mingyuan who was trying to rush in.
"It's okay. It's only the first day. Who would want to take off their clothes and go to bed right now? You can come in anytime you want."
"Then why did you lie to me and say no?" Tao Shuxin pouted.
"Hurry up and go find the dorm manager to register. I have to go back and pack as well."
"Ok."
Seeing that he had been helping her with this and that, Tao Shuxin didn't want to keep him too long, and went to do what Xu Mingyuan asked her to do with a sweet mood.
After carrying her luggage to the fifth floor, Xu Mingyuan asked Tao Shuxin to call her parents to let them know she was safe. He did not stay for long.
After asking for the location of his dormitory building, he waved to Tao Shuxin who was lying on the balcony looking down, and left with his suitcase.
After registering with the dormitory manager, Xu Mingyuan went upstairs and found dormitory 317. The door was open, and some parents were helping their children make the beds. Xu Mingyuan knocked on the door and asked, "Are you all studying world history? Which one am I?"
"The fifth one. We still need one more."
The boy with glasses sitting by the door put down his work and greeted him.
"Xu Mingyuan is from Haizhou Province, and his home is in Nanxi next door." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Li Chengbo is from Yidong Province."
One of the boys, named Lu Fei, was more outgoing and was from Yuhe City in the same province. He came over and asked about Xu Mingyuan’s date of birth so as to rank the students in the dormitory.
"Brother, your parents didn't send you here." Lu Fei asked.
"No, I came here by myself." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"You can. You haven't picked up your bedding yet, right? Where's your receipt? Just pack it first, and I'll go get it for you."
"No, I'll be right down."
"Don't be polite, it's just a few steps away, go ahead and do your work."
Lu Fei saw Xu Mingyuan holding the receipt in his hand, so he snatched it and left the dormitory.
The middle bed had Xu Mingyuan's identity information posted on it. Xu Mingyuan took out the rag that Xiao Yangzhi had prepared long ago from his bag, and while chatting with his roommates, he wiped the bed clean.
After all, Jiangnan University is a key university, and the dormitory environment is much better than that of Jiangcai, a second-tier university I attended.
At that time, it was an eight-person dormitory with bunk beds, but now it has become a six-person dormitory with a bunk bed and a table. Not only is the space larger, but there is also a balcony for drying clothes.
Not long after, Zeng Ruilin, the last person in the dormitory, also arrived.
After his parents left, he took out a box of cigarettes from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.
Xu Mingyuan took it and asked him to help light it.
"We are all brothers, light it up. We are all in college now, why don't we learn to smoke after we enter society?"
This guy named Zeng Ruilin is quite pretentious. Seeing Li Chengbo choking on the smoke and crying, he laughed and made some jokes.
Zeng Ruilin was a talkative guy, and soon he talked about grades again: "I don't want to go to this crappy Bijiang University at all. If I hadn't failed the college entrance examination, I would definitely go to Jilin University."
"How many points do you have? Do you want to be admitted to Ji'nan?"
Wu Chao, who was sitting nearby, couldn't bear to watch it anymore and asked.
"570, what's wrong?" Zeng Ruilin said.
"Just 570? I scored 593 and didn't even think about getting into Jilin University. Shit, how did you get into Jiangnan University with only 570?" Wu Chao asked in surprise.
"You don't understand this, do you? I'm a native of Jiangcheng, so I can go to Jiang University if I want to. Even if my score is a hundred points lower, my family can use their connections to get me in." Zeng Ruilin said.
Xu Mingyuan smiled and shook his head. It was quite interesting to listen to their bragging.
He picked up his phone, saw the text message from Tao Shuxin, and replied to her.
"It's a different era now, why are you still using Nokia? I don't know how much the new Motorola V3 costs. I'll buy you one later."
"Thank you so much. You don't have to wait any longer. Otherwise, I'll just use this second-hand one of yours." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"This is so embarrassing for me. If I have to fix it, I'll just give you a new one."
Zeng Ruilin was bragging, but seeing that Xu Mingyuan was so disrespectful, he went to look for someone else.
Seeing the text message sent by Xiao Yangzhi on his mobile phone, Xu Mingyuan walked to the balcony and dialed the number.
"Brother, I miss you..."
Yang Zhi's voice was a little choked.
"Didn't we just meet this morning? Are you thinking about it now?"
Hearing the sound of Xiao Yangzhi sniffing, Xu Mingyuan smiled.
"But there's still tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... I won't be able to see them all..."
"It's okay, I'll take some time off and go back to see you."
"Well, brother, you have to come back soon..."
Little Yangzhi was full of longing, which added to Xu Mingyuan's worries.
