Chapter 236: The University Arc Begins
September, a new beginning. Everything was developing according to plan. For her, September was also a brand new time, a time she had never experienced before.
Starting today, she was finally a university student.
In the past few years, she had thought about entering society directly without going to university, but in the end, she still went. Life is always like this; plans can’t keep up with changes.
“Have you packed everything?”
“Of course.”
“Then let’s go.”
That day, Fang Jiangning came to find her to report to school together. Because they were both at the same university and in the same major, and after much persuasion from Fang Jiangning, her parents finally agreed to let her go with Yu Linna alone. Mainly, Fang Jiangning thought that since Yu-meizi had no family, she didn’t want her parents to follow along, lest it bring up bad memories for her.
Besides, it wasn’t very far to drive from home to report. A two-hour car ride would probably be enough.
“Hah~ Starting tonight, we’ll be living together. Are you happy?~”
“Yeah, I’m pretty happy. Thanks.”
“You’re no fun at all. You can’t even pretend. If you’re like this, people will think you’re frigid.”
Fang Jiangning poked her cheek and teased. And it was true; this girl’s cheek was quite fun to play with. She poked it a few more times.
“More than that, I just hope no one will bother me.”
Yu Linna looked completely uninterested.
Guangnan University was considered a prestigious school in the country. The admission scores only went up, never down. They were slightly more lenient with in-province candidates, but completely ruthless with out-of-province ones.
Standing at the school gate, looking at the crowds of people coming and going, the rows of suitcases, and the constantly honking cars, Yu Linna just wanted to say, as expected of new student registration, it’s really lively.
Pulling their suitcases, Yu Linna and Fang Jiangning walked in together. They were different from the average students. Most people had their parents with them, and their parents would help with the luggage. But Fang Jiangning and Yu Linna were the opposite. There wasn’t a single adult with them. They had to carry their own suitcases. Some senior male students, seeing that these two girls had no parents with them and were both so good-looking, couldn’t help but get bad ideas and went up to chat with them.
Fang Jiangning politely but gracefully declined, pulling her own suitcase and walking in with Yu Linna.
“Miss Fang, someone’s interested in you, and you didn’t even react.”
“Forget it. I don’t like those guys. They always look at me with strange eyes. It makes me uncomfortable.”
“Is it really okay for you, a big-time streamer, to say that about them?”
“Stop, that’s different. Besides, I have no intention of dating right now.”
Fang Jiangning smiled wryly. Speaking of dating, just spare her. She had no intention of being in a relationship. It wasn’t that she wasn’t interested in guys, but she really didn’t want to date right now. Because this time in university should be used well: be a streamer, play games, learn more things. As for dating guys, she had no thoughts on that for the time being.
Because they were both beauties and had no adults with them, many guys wanted to chat them up. Especially Yu Linna’s conspicuous blonde hair. Many people stared, their mouths watering. They hadn’t expected there to be a mixed-race person here. What a rare existence. So these people came up again, thick-skinned. Yu Linna didn’t have Fang Jiangning’s good manners and directly rebuffed them, making them run away with their tails between their legs.
The senior sister in charge of new student registration looked at Yu Linna, confirming her name several times.
“Junior, you’re Yu Linna, right?”
“That’s me. I’m not impersonating anyone.”
“You’re really Chinese.”
“You see how well I speak Chinese. Do you still think I’m a foreigner? I just happen to be mixed-race.”
“Sorry, junior. It’s my first time seeing a mixed-race person. Don’t mind me…”
“It’s fine. Just help me register, okay?”
“Yes, yes. Junior, let’s add each other as friends. I’ll treat you to a drink some other day as an apology.”
“….”
Emmmm…
It was one thing to be asked for her WeChat by a guy, but why did a girl also want to add her as a friend? Was she that charming?
But she had to admit, sometimes, being good-looking really did let you do whatever you wanted. There was no helping it; it was an innate advantage.
Fang Jiangning and Yu Linna finished their registration. Because they were in the same major and were also friends, they were naturally given priority to be placed in the same dorm. Most of the students in their major lived on the third floor of the girls’ dormitory, which was a relatively good floor. The senior sister who had helped them register personally took them to their dorm to report.
“First, let’s get to know each other. My name is Qiao Yao. Just call me Sister Qiao~ I’ll take you to your dorm. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me on WeChat. By the way, if you encounter any persistent guys, you can ask me for help. Sister Qiao will help you beat them up~”
Qiao Yao led the two of them to the girls’ dormitory. Along the way, she also introduced the school’s scenery, the teaching buildings, and other places. Since they were in the same major, Qiao Yao was their bona fide senior sister. Fang Jiangning liked her a lot and chatted with her nonstop along the way.
“Speaking of this school, it reminds me of the schools in Japanese anime. Just seeing these buildings makes me think of Conan. It’s so scary. It wouldn’t be good if there really was a shinigami elementary school student.”
“You watch Conan too? When is that anime going to end? I’ve been watching it since I was five, and it still hasn’t ended.”
“Yeah, Conan is just starting second grade, and I’ve already become a university student.”
“That’s true. How long do we have to watch?”
These two were having a great chat.
Yu Linna watched them talking about anime. Although she could join the conversation—she also watched anime—why did she feel that if she spoke now, she would be interrupting them? Fang Jiangning was straight, after all.
“By the way, you look a bit like a streamer I’ve been following for a long time. She just recently… showed her face… Oh my god, aren’t you Little Angel?!”
Just as Qiao Yao was speaking, she suddenly realized her face was a bit familiar. After thinking about it carefully in her mind, she suddenly realized, Emma, isn’t this Dancing Angel?!
She was her junior?
What a great surprise.
“Oh dear, I’ve been discovered~ Keep it low-key, low-key. I don’t want to be found out so soon.”
Fang Jiangning said with a smile, feigning shyness.
Yu Linna had so many things she wanted to roast her about. This girl said she wanted to be low-key, said she didn’t want to be discovered. Weren’t you the one who most wanted to show your face on stream, who most wanted to sing and play games on camera!
Do you have the nerve to say you want to be low-key?! Do you have the nerve!
“You’re Little Angel… so, Junior Yu isn’t… Little Na? On second thought, her height is about right, her figure is very similar, her temperament… ahem, exactly the same.”
Yu Linna really wanted to flip a table.
Damn you, why are you a student when you could be a detective!
She really wanted to be low-key, not Fang Jiangning, who deliberately wanted to be high-profile!
“Ahaha…”
Yu Linna laughed dryly, turning her head away, not knowing what to say.
She had only cosplayed for Fang Jiangning’s stream twice, but heaven knows the fans had actually remembered her from those two times. She had only posted two or three times on a Weibo account she had created, yet it had gotten ten thousand likes. As for her own personal Weibo, the highest number of likes had never exceeded a hundred.
These people were really just in it for the looks.
“Are you really Little Na? Wow, you’re so beautiful in real life. Can I shake your hand?”
“Please do.”
“Your hands are so small and delicate. Why don’t you stream with Little Angel? It’s such a pity. You’d definitely have a lot of viewers if you streamed.”
“Hehe…”
She could only laugh dryly.
Was there something wrong with her? Be a streamer? What a joke! She was already a professional novelist. Being a streamer was a complete waste of time. With this spare time, she would rather write more. Working hard was her duty. As for streaming, she’d leave that for her next life.
“Don’t bully Linna. She has her reasons for not streaming. She has things to do. If you want to support me, just send me a few more gifts~”
Fang Jiangning put her arm around Yu Linna’s waist and said with a smile.
Qiao Yao also watched live streams. She was very happy to have met a Bilibili uploader all of a sudden. Although she couldn’t just tell everyone, she thought it was only a matter of time before Fang Jiangning’s identity was revealed. She would find a time to hang out with her and get to know her better.
…
Yu Linna and Fang Jiangning’s dorm was on the third floor. Qiao Yao explained to the dorm auntie, then had them register and gave them the keys, leading them upstairs. Their dorm number was 383. Qiao Yao was only responsible for taking them to their dorm. Because she still had to help other new students report, she left first.
Entering the dorm, there was already a girl who had moved in. This girl was cleaning her bed. She was just laying out her mattress. Seeing her new roommates, she quickly came down to greet them.
“Hello, my name is Xiao Yanhan. I’m a local, but my family’s from the ‘Magic City.’ I hate spicy food. For the next four years, please take care of me~”
Xiao Yanhan climbed down from her bed, patted her clothes, and smiled. She had specially worn a nice outfit to report today: a black T-shirt, khaki cargo pants, and a pair of brand-name shoes. The combination looked surprisingly good, giving her a cool vibe.
“I’m Fang Jiangning, also a local. I used to go to First Municipal High School.”
“Yu Linna, also from First Municipal High School.”
“Wow, so you’re both locals like me. I used to go to Experimental High School.”
Xiao Yanhan was very welcoming to her new roommates, especially since they were such cute girls. Looking at the two of them, it seemed they had a good relationship before, which was truly enviable. None of her high school classmates had gone to the same university as her.
“Your name is Yu Linna? You’re so beautiful! Are you mixed-race? It’s so rare. Can I touch your face?”
“Ah? Oh, that’s no problem.”
“Thanks! I won’t be polite then. Oh ho… it feels so good.”
Xiao Yanhan really liked this girl’s face. It felt super nice to the touch, and she was so small and super cute. When she used to watch blonde lolis in anime, she had fantasized about meeting one in real life. Now, her fantasy had become a reality.
“Um, Xiao Yanhan?”
“Ah, sorry, I got too excited. You two knew each other before, right? That’s so nice. All my old classmates went to other provinces to study. I didn’t go because I wanted to be closer to home. Let’s have dinner tonight and get to know each other~”
Xiao Yanhan seemed to be a very sociable person, not nervous at all. This made Yu Linna breathe a sigh of relief. She had been afraid that her new roommate would be too tense.
But Xiao Yanhan probably never imagined that she would become roommates with Yu Linna. Yes, absolutely never imagined. That was her idol, after all.
