I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1138: International Student Dormitory

At the end of August, Huang Xiaochuan received a call from an unknown number in Shanghai. At first, he thought it was a spam call and rejected it. In recent years, he has been receiving a lot of unwanted calls, which is very annoying.

But the other party was very persistent and kept calling. Huang Xiaochuan answered the phone, wanting to see what the other party was up to.

"Dad, it's me, Yawen."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan immediately sat up straight: "You've arrived in Shanghai?"

"Yes, I arrived yesterday and have already completed the enrollment procedures. I just got this phone number, so I'm calling you now."

Huang Xiaochuan scolded, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have arranged for someone to pick you up."

"It's okay. This isn't my first time in Shanghai. I'm just calling to let you know I'm fine, so you don't need to worry."

Huang Xiaochuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight!"

Zeng Wentian considered it for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, just tell me the place, I'll go there myself, you don't need to pick me up."

Huang Xiaochuan knew that this child was quite independent, so he agreed: "I'll send the address to your phone later."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaochuan dialed Zhang Yun's number: "Ya Wen is coming to Shanghai, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Zhang Yun on the other end of the phone said, "I already told you, didn't I? I told you last time that Ya Wen would be going to Shanghai to study, and you don't need to arrange for someone to pick him up at the airport."

"I mean, at least let me know when he'll arrive, right? And how could you let him come to Shanghai alone? Are you really that comfortable with that?" Huang Xiaochuan's tone was a little unpleasant.

Zhang Yun, of course, understood. She retorted without backing down, "My son, I know how to raise him. He's not a hothouse flower. He's a boy, and he needs to learn to face some problems on his own. Also, you don't need to worry about his safety. I love him more than you do." After saying that, Zhang Yun hung up the phone.

Huang Xiaochuan held his phone, stunned for a long time. He calculated that this woman was about to go through menopause, so he decided not to argue with her.

Room 601-1 on the sixth floor of the Hudan International Student Apartment is a single room. There are two types of dormitories for international students: double rooms and single rooms. Due to his living habits, Zeng Wentian chose a single room.

The room was less than 13 square meters, but it was fully equipped. Although it wasn't as comfortable as his own home, Zeng Wentian didn't mind. He had done his research before choosing to study at Shanghai Dan University, so he was mentally prepared.

Moreover, this single dormitory is one of four rooms in a suite. In other words, four single dormitories form a suite, which includes a living room as a common area, and each dormitory has a private bathroom. This allows for the separation of active and quiet areas, so that people can communicate with each other while also not disturbing each other.

"Hi! Hello, I'm your next-door neighbor." At that moment, a girl who looked like an Asian student knocked on the door, which was not closed.

"Hello!" Zeng Wentian walked to the door and shook hands with him: "Zeng Wentian, from Singapore."

"Ou Ya, from Malaysia, Chinese." The girl pointed to her dormitory, which was right next to Zeng Wentian's dormitory, the two dormitories were adjacent to each other.

Then Ou Ya asked, "You seem to have come alone, right? Didn't anyone from your family bring you?"

Zeng Wentian truthfully stated, "I come to Shanghai often, so I am quite familiar with this place and don't need my family to see me off."

Ou Ya's eyes lit up: "Really! That's great! If you have the chance, could you take me out for a walk? This place seems much bigger than Kuala Lumpur, I'm afraid I'll get lost."

Zeng Wentian nodded: "Okay." Then he added, "You speak fluent Chinese."

The girl burst out laughing: "Haha, what you said makes me wonder if you're even Singaporean. Don't you know? We Malaysian Chinese go to Chinese-language schools from a young age, and we speak Chinese at home."

Zeng Wentian certainly knew this, but he smiled and didn't respond.

At this time, the international students from the other two dormitories also arrived, a boy and a girl, one in front and one behind. The new girl seemed to be Korean, and she came with a lot of people, which looked quite exaggerated.

Because everything in that room, except for the furniture, had been replaced—things that could be changed, like the mattress. Four Seasons Leeks presents "1990, I'm Back," exclusively published by Cola Novels!

This made Zeng Wentian take a few more glances, but he couldn't understand Korean, so he didn't know what those people were saying. When the girl saw Zeng Wentian looking at him, she politely bowed as a greeting.

Zeng Wentian nodded slightly in response, then closed the door to his room.

After returning to her room, Ou Ya immediately turned on her laptop and started chatting with her best friend who was far away in Malaysia.

"You know what? My neighbor is a guy from Singapore, and he's really handsome."

Unfortunately, her best friend didn't believe her: "Please, don't just call every guy you see handsome, okay? With your taste..."

To prove she hadn't misjudged him this time, Ou Ya said, "You wait, I'll find a chance to take a picture of him later, and you'll see the photo and you'll know."

Ou Ya felt that she had seen enough handsome men, but the guy next to her didn't look like a Southeast Asian at all; he was the kind of person who was very pleasing to the eye at first glance.

"Really, I'm not kidding, it's not the kind of handsome that's faked, it's just a very natural kind of handsome..."

Unfortunately, without pictures, there's no proof, and her best friend, who lives far away in Malaysia, simply doesn't believe Ou Ya's words.

After the chat ended, Ou Ya thought for a moment, then smiled slyly. Anyway, the boy named Zeng Wentian lived next door, so there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

In the evening, Zeng Wentian changed his clothes and prepared to go out. He ran into Ou Ya as soon as he stepped out.

Ouya took the initiative to extend an invitation: "Let's go to dinner together!"

Zeng Wentian smiled and politely declined, "Thank you, but I have plans to have dinner with my family. Goodbye!"

After he finished speaking, he left, which made Ouya feel that something was wrong.

Didn't they say he's Singaporean? He came here alone, so how come he has family here?

A series of question marks popped up in Ouya's head, and she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

The place to eat wasn't too far from the school, but Zeng Wentian hailed a taxi to save time.

A few minutes later, the father and son met.

"Have a seat! This is a fairly authentic Huaiyang cuisine restaurant; you should like it." Huang Xiaochuan arranged for his son to sit down.

After sitting down, Zeng Wentian praised, "The environment here is very nice, the food must be delicious too."

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and asked, "Are all the formalities completed? How's the dorm?"

"It's great. The procedures aren't complicated, and there are volunteers to help. The dormitory is a single room, and the school had already arranged for it to be cleaned beforehand, so it's very clean. I tidied it up a bit more."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded. Zhang Yun really knew how to raise children. Yawen and Luca were both very independent, and you couldn't tell at all that they came from a wealthy family.

At that moment, the restaurant waiter brought the menu.

Huang Xiaochuan gestured, "Yawen, you order. Order whatever you like."

Zeng Wentian did not refuse. He took the menu from the waiter and opened it. The menu was very beautifully made. All the dishes were photographed by professional photographers and then rendered in post-production, making them look very appetizing.

However, Zeng Wentian only ordered two dishes: stir-fried shrimp and crab meat lion's head meatballs, because he had seen these two dishes in a documentary.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaochuan added a few more dishes.

The father and son ate and chatted, and the scene looked very harmonious.

Unfortunately, time passed quickly, and dinner was over.

Huang Xiaochuan wanted to personally take his son to school, but Zeng Wentian refused, insisting on going back to school by himself. Huang Xiaochuan didn't insist and had someone call a taxi at the restaurant entrance.

After saying goodbye to his father Huang Xiaochuan at the restaurant entrance, Zeng Wentian got into his car and left. Huang Xiaochuan noticed that a car that had been parked at the restaurant entrance passed by him. When it got to him, the window rolled down, the person inside greeted him, and then followed the taxi carrying Zeng Wentian.

Huang Xiaochuan recognized the woman who greeted him as Zhang Yun's female bodyguard. Now he was completely relieved. It seemed that Zhang Yun had made all the arrangements, so he didn't need to worry about anything anymore.
