Chapter 265 Sunday Group Activities
After a week of classes, the freshmen of Kyoto University gradually adapted to university life and the study pace of a top university.
What was originally limited to the cultural heritage protection major was successfully spread to become the examination paper for all freshmen of the entire School of Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies after this week.
There is no way around it, as some of the large classes in several majors have to be taken together, and some professional courses also overlap.
We are all top students and if someone takes the lead, it is impossible for others not to follow suit.
The girls in dormitory 306 were the most affected.
Su Xing discovered that many study rooms at Peking University are open 24 hours a day.
She was afraid of disturbing her roommates' rest, so she took her books, computer, and digital tablet and hid in a corner of the study room every night.
When you get tired of reading, draw. When you get tired of drawing, read.
I tiptoe back to the dormitory after midnight every night.
Some clubs and student unions wanted to recruit Su Xing, but they couldn't find her. Sometimes when they finally caught her, she was either studying or on her way to study.
It made others feel that it was a sin to delay her studies!
In the end, Su Xing did not join the student union or any club.
She has too much to do, and the system sends tasks from time to time. Even with the efficiency doubled buff, she often feels that she does not have enough time, and she does not want to add more burden to herself.
Zhang Caifeng also studied until very late every day. After discovering that Su Xing stayed in the study room every night, she ran over to join her.
Gao Yang played games in the dormitory for two nights, but he couldn't play anymore, so he picked up a book and followed Su Xing and Zhang Caifeng.
Pei Shiqi didn't want to join Su Xing and the others at first. After class every day, she would either meet up with her fellow villagers or lie in bed in her dorm and watch TV series.
But after three days, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Her roommates worked so hard that she looked like she was just living a life of idleness and waiting to die.
She had an inexplicable illusion in her heart, and she always felt that if she continued to be "decadent", she might not be able to graduate smoothly...
So, on the fourth day, she also joined the "study room army".
However, Su Xing's roommates don't have the 2-hour deep sleep buff like her, so they will not get enough sleep if they stay up too late in the study room, so they usually go back to the dormitory after o'clock.
Su Xing would continue to stay in the study room until after midnight, or even around one in the morning.
A week's classes ended quickly.
On Saturday morning, Pei Shiqi didn't stay in bed too long, and everyone went to the cafeteria to have breakfast together.
Pei Shiqi looked at the energetic Su Xing opposite her and asked in confusion: "Su Xing, you get up so early every day and go to bed so late. You only get a few hours of sleep a day? How come you are still so energetic? You don't look like you are lacking sleep at all?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yang and Zhang Caifeng both looked at Su Xing. This was also something they found very strange.
Su Xing swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Because I have a good sleep quality. I almost never have a light sleep period. I fall into a deep sleep and feel full after sleeping for two or three hours."
She was telling the truth.
The three roommates looked puzzled.
Gao Yang asked, "Is there such a saying?"
Zhang Caifeng looked envious, "This is too good to be true, right? I also want to fall into a deep sleep, but I always have dreams..."
Pei Shiqi's eyes widened. "Really? This is simply a cheat!"
Su Xing thought: Doesn’t she have a cheat?
For the sake of her life, she has always had a sense of urgency.
That day, the four girls spent another day in the library.
In the evening, Su Xing returned to the dormitory early, which was rare.
Pei Shiqi collapsed on the bed and protested, "We can't study like this anymore! Shouldn't college life be colorful? We're almost turning into study machines!"
Gao Yang looked up at her, "So what do you want to do?"
Pei Shiqi turned over, lay on the bed, and leaned over to say to everyone, "Let's go to the Forbidden City tomorrow, shall we? I've only been there once when I was a child, and I don't have much of an impression of it. After all, we are students of the Academy of Cultural Heritage, so we should go take a good look at the Forbidden City and feel the cultural atmosphere and historical weight there, right?"
Gao Yang had been to the Forbidden City several times. After all, Jinshi was very close to the capital. However, she hadn't been there in the past few years since high school, so she was a little excited when she heard the words.
"What do you think?" she asked Su Xing and Zhang Caifeng.
Zhang Caifeng said with longing: "Then let's go and have a look. I want to go too."
As a student majoring in cultural relics and museology, how could she not want to visit the Forbidden City?
She had never actually visited any museums since she was a child, except on TV...
Su Xing also agreed: "Okay, let's go to the Forbidden City tomorrow!"
She also longed for one of the largest and best-preserved ancient wooden structure complexes in the world.
The girls in dormitory 306 planned their schedule for tomorrow.
That night, everyone went to bed early.
Early on Sunday morning, after a few girls had breakfast in the cafeteria, they set off quickly.
They arrived at the Forbidden City at 8:30, which was exactly the opening time of the Forbidden City every day.
Student tickets are half price, so Zhang Caifeng is very happy because she can save money.
There are just so many people!
They waited in line in front of the Meridian Gate for half a day before they were able to enter the Palace Museum.
The first place we came to was Taihemen Square and Taihemen. There were tourists everywhere. It is truly one of the must-visit attractions for Chinese people in their lifetime!
Passing through the Taihe Gate is the most magnificent hall in the Forbidden City - the Taihe Hall.
Zhang Caifeng exclaimed: "Wow! This is so spectacular!"
Su Xing nodded in agreement, "It is indeed spectacular!"
Gao Yang and Pei Shiqi had both visited the Forbidden City when they were young, but now standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square, the feeling was different from before, and the excitement in their hearts was difficult to describe in words.
On both sides of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there are ancient timepieces, sundials, and measuring instruments.
While Su Xing was taking pictures with his camera, he marveled at the wisdom of the ancients in his heart.
They soon saw the huge bronze Taiping jars, the gold plating on the surface of which had been scraped off by the bayonets of the Allied Forces who invaded China.
The girls looked at the scarred vat and felt heavy-hearted...
They followed the crowd and walked forward.
Zhonghe Hall, Baohe Hall, Treasure House...
They visited every place carefully and thoroughly.
At noon, they had a simple meal at a restaurant in the Forbidden City and continued to visit the harem in the afternoon.
They visited the Six Eastern Palaces and the Six Western Palaces, then returned to the central axis to visit the Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Hall, and Kunning Palace.
The ticket money they spent was worth it. Except for some palaces that were not open to the public and some hard-to-find corners, they visited almost all of them.
Finally, they planned to rest in the Imperial Garden for a while and then leave through Shenwu Gate.
While taking a break, they heard some tourists chatting nearby.
A tourist said: "Now many museums are free, but the Forbidden City still charges admission. How much money has it made from tourists every year?"
