Only Gu Jin leisurely finished her bowl of lumpy soup and elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth.
She looked up, gazing at the three who were in a daze, and softly asked, "Ready to go back?"
Ma Qiaolan was the first to snap back to reality. She looked down at the food on her tray, gritted her teeth, and forced herself to finish eating bite by bite.
Hu Yue and Feng Hui didn’t feel like eating at all.
The forr took out a bag and packed the buns and food to take back to the dormitory to eat.
Feng Hui pursed her lips tightly, her expression obscure and unreadable.
The four of them waited for Ma Qiaolan to finish eating and left the cafeteria together. They didn’t return to the dormitory but instead familiarized themselves with the buildings around the school.
They spent the entire afternoon getting accustod to the school and also encountered so small interesting incidents.
Parents who ca to send new students chanted instructions like Tang Monk while following their children around, and there were also absent-minded new students who forgot to bring their admission notifications and so on.
By the ti it was evening gathering ti, all the students went to the classroom for roll call, seating arrangents, class etings, and studying the school rules and regulations.
When everything was settled, it was already eight-thirty in the evening.
Gu Jin checked the ti on her phone, put it back in her bag, and couldn’t help but worry about An Mingji.
Since he hadn’t called by now, he was probably waiting for her at school.
"Gu Jin, let’s go! Let’s head back to the dormitory together."
Ma Qiaolan’s loud voice rang out from behind.
Gu Jin turned her head and looked at Ma Qiaolan, along with Hu Yue, and Feng Hui.
She showed a helpless expression on her face: "No, I don’t stay in the dormitory; there’s soone waiting for at ho."
"You don’t stay at school either?"
"Mm, I actually enrolled as a day student. The dormitory is just in case of ergencies later."
Feng Hui suggested, "Then let’s walk together."
She walked towards Gu Jin.
"Okay."
Just like that, Ma Qiaolan and Hu Yue walked together towards the dormitory.
Gu Jin and Feng Hui walked out of the campus.
As they walked towards the school gate, Feng Hui asked, "Are you also from Wanhai City?"
Gu Jin shook her head: "No, my hotown is Qingshan Village."
Feng Hui, who was born in Wanhai City, didn’t know where Qingshan Village was.
But she guessed it must be different from the bustling Wanhai City. She turned her head to seriously observe Gu Jin.
Under the streetlights, Gu Jin seed to be surrounded by an aura of detachnt, and her elegant and gentle deanor always felt distant.
This kind of girl, even Feng Hui rarely saw. Among her friends from similar backgrounds, none had an attractive deanor like Gu Jin.
Gu Jin was hard to figure out, but that didn’t prevent her from having a favorable impression.
The two walked out of the school gate together, and Feng Hui’s mother stood by a private car, briskly walking toward her daughter when she saw her co out.
Gu Jin bid farewell to Feng Hui and walked towards a taxi a short distance away.
"Gu Jin, let my mom drive you back." Feng Hui shouted to her back.
Gu Jin softly declined: "I still need to pick up my brother from the Second Middle School."
"Then take care on the road."
Feng Hui’s mother watched Gu Jin get into the taxi, then took her daughter to their own car.
"That’s your roommate, right? Her brother goes to the Second Middle School, which suggests an extraordinary family background. The kids there are either rich or noble. Most are children from families with status and power in Wanhai City, receiving a broad education, often Western-style."
Feng Hui knew this too, as her dad was a leader in the education bureau.
"But she said her hotown is a mountain village. I feel there is sothing enchanting about her, sothing mysterious, that makes people want to get closer."
To her family, Feng Hui expressed her inner thoughts.
