Maybe it was Li Yang’s own perception issue, but it was really hard for him to imagine Jing University’s dorms could be this outdated.
When he was in high school, at least the dorm had a private bathroom and shower room.
Of course, Jing University definitely has those too, but the bathrooms are communal, and the showers are also communal.
The bathroom has two sinks on either side, separated by walls, and every now and then, the water tank flushes automatically.
The shower room is similarly equipped with sinks, with over thirty faucets, roughly a ter high, where everyone must shower together.
In such a bathhouse, the smaller you are, the more self-conscious you feel.
This dorm was built sixteen years ago, and it just happened to be the turn for their batch of freshers.
Li Yang casually found a bunk, put down his luggage, and received a photo from Jiang Banxia.
"Master Li, my side is pretty good, there’s an en-suite bathroom. Yours must be even better, right?"
Li Yang: "..., of course, at my place we have a vending machine for drinks at the door, a snack cabinet, and the dorm even has a refrigerator... But none of that really matters, what matters is we are here at university to study. The more difficult the conditions, the more they can temper our will."
"You win."
...
Li Likun didn’t expect his son’s college life to be so tough, and the high regard for Jing University shattered at that mont.
Just then, soone who had been on the phone on the balcony ca over, a burly man who laughed heartily upon seeing Li Yang’s family, especially Xue Ning, and said, "Hello, new classmate, my na is He Lewei, how do I address you?"
Li Yang quickly said, "Hello, hello, I’m Li Yang, these are my parents and my sister."
He Lewei patted Li Yang on the shoulder, "We’ll be living together for the next four years, I can tell right away we get along well."
Li Yang: "Haha, didn’t you just say you wanted to drop out?"
He Lewei laughed awkwardly, "I can’t do that, getting into this school isn’t easy. If I dropped out, I’d probably have to co back here next year, why bother with that headache."
After saying this, he imdiately turned to Li Likun, "Uncle, Auntie, you must be from out of town? I’m a local, how about I take you around campus later? I’ve been playing around here since I was a kid, I know it very well."
Before Li Likun could speak, Li Yang said, "Then you’ll have to compete with our guide later to see who’s better."
"Hmm? What do you an?"
Li Yang patted his shoulder and said, "So senior students also said they’d show us around."
He Lewei imdiately understood.
Damn, soone’s trying to steal the spotlight.
Seeing that Li Yang has a pretty sister, he didn’t care about saving face anymore?
What a jerk, how did he even get into Jing University?
He patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, leave it to . Nobody in this world understands Jing University better than I do."
...
What He Lewei said was indeed true.
While Li Yang was storing his luggage and tidying up his bed, he had already struck up a conversation with Li Likun.
Of course, he also found excuses to talk to Xue Ning.
From chatting about the school to outside the school, he even asked Li Likun where they were staying tonight. Though the school has a guest house, during these first few days of the new term, there usually aren’t any spots available.
To handle this situation, the school had to keep the dining hall open all night, allowing parents who had nowhere to stay at night to make do with the dining hall seats.
He Lewei was very familiar with the hotels and inns around the school, and he knew the entire Capital City very well.
Upon hearing that Li Likun wanted to visit Chang’an Avenue, he agreed without hesitation, promising to take him there first thing in the morning.
After tidying up quickly, the group left the dormitory.
This ghostly place, staying here any longer feels like being in a prison.
Staying off-campus wouldn’t work, you’d be exhausted by the ti you got to class.
When both groups finally t, Jiang Banxia’s side had gathered even more people, her roommates’ parents had also co over.
On seeing Jiang Banxia, He Lewei imdiately understood why the four senior students were so attentive.
Who wouldn’t be attentive!
Damn, when did Jing University have such a beautiful girl?
He Lewei was too familiar with Jing University; girls with Jiang Banxia’s stunning looks only co around once every three to five years. The so-called beauties of Jing University aren’t that impressive after all.
There are few beauties in the world anyway, even fewer who excel academically, and those who are among the very best in both are rarer still.
Initially, he had so complaints about the dorms, but now he was in a much better mood.
While touring the campus, he enthusiastically began explaining the history and current status of each building to everyone present.
He truly knew a lot, at least much more than Liu Yuheng and the few others who had only studied there for a year.
Jiang Yaoting listened intently; ever since entering Jing University, he had felt a sense of belonging.
After touring for over two hours and almost covering the whole place, as they were looking for a place to rest, He Lewei went straight to Li Yang and asked, "Li Yang, which college is Jiang Banxia in?"
"The School of Economics, why?"
"I’m thinking if I should switch majors..."
The next mont, Li Yang said, "She’s taken, what are you going there for?"
"What the heck! Really? Who’s the lucky bastard?"
He hadn’t thought of Liu Yuheng and the others; those guys were clearly still little lapdogs. If they had succeeded, would they need to be so cautious?
"Why don’t you go ask her?"
Hearing this, He Lewei hesitated, and after thinking for a mont, he said, "Bro, can you give your sister’s WeChat?"
Pursuing Jiang Banxia was indeed unrealistic, he wasn’t that aweso.
Besides, although Jiang Banxia was indeed pretty, she was also too captivating, always giving people a sense of unease.
