They smiled brightly and spoke kindly, with someone even taking the heavy canvas bag from He Fei's hands.
Someone provided detailed instructions on the registration process, showing where to pay the fees first and where to collect the dormitory keys and supplies.
Another senior student affectionately took He Fei's arm and said she would take her to see the dormitory first.
He Fei was almost instantly "surrounded" by this warm and friendly atmosphere.
She turned to look at Chen Zhiyuan, her eyes filled with gratitude, and said softly, "Chen Zhiyuan, thank you for taking me. You should go and register at your own college. Everything's fine here. I'll call you again when I'm done."
She had already memorized Chen Zhiyuan's phone number.
Seeing that she was indeed properly "taken care of," Chen Zhiyuan nodded with relief: "Okay, then you can go ahead and get busy. Contact me by phone."
He watched He Fei walk away, surrounded by her seniors, until she disappeared into the bustling crowd on campus. Then he turned and walked slowly toward the computer science department's welcome point not far away.
Having lived two lives, Chen Zhiyuan is quite familiar with the ways of the world.
He walked to the welcome point of the School of Computer Science and Technology, calmly took out his admission notice, and greeted them with a composed smile: "Hello, senior, I am a freshman here to register."
Xiang Wanyu, who was in charge of welcoming the new students, had a bright look in her eyes.
The junior in front of me is tall and has long legs. He has a handsome face and his eyes are relaxed when he smiles. He looks particularly sunny and refreshing in the afternoon sun.
Her attitude instantly became three times more enthusiastic, and she accepted the admission notice with a bright smile, checking the name on it.
"Chen Zhiyuan..." she murmured, then paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing through her mind: He's also named Chen Zhiyuan?
Xiang Wanyu is a sophomore at Jiangnan University. She is not only a recognized beauty with outstanding looks, but also a loyal fan of "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty".
She used to follow the serialized story in the Jiangnan Daily every day. When the physical book came out, she bought a copy as soon as possible. Now she has read it three times and finds it more and more enjoyable.
"Your name is Chen Zhiyuan!" Xiang Wanyu's face was filled with obvious surprise, and her voice unconsciously rose a little.
Chen Zhiyuan also sized up the senior student in front of him.
I thought to myself: This senior is really pretty, especially her straight and slender legs, which are perfectly proportioned. It's a shame she's not driving a tricycle (picture).
The thought flashed through his mind, carrying with it a touch of the unconventional humor typical of boys his age.
The weather at the end of August still carried the lingering heat of midsummer, and Xiang Wanyu, like many other girls, was dressed in a cool and neat outfit.
A pair of light blue denim shorts paired with a simple white fitted T-shirt perfectly accentuated her tall and well-proportioned figure.
Her already striking features, combined with her youthful and vibrant outfit, made her stand out at the welcome point.
While inwardly admiring him, Chen Zhiyuan nodded to confirm, "Yes, I am Chen Zhiyuan, a freshman in the School of Computer Science and Technology."
Xiang Wanyu quickly found Chen Zhiyuan's name on the list and registered him.
She welcomed many new students today, but she seemed particularly enthusiastic at this moment.
"Junior, do you see that building over there? That's our college's office building. The first floor is where you register, pay fees, and pick up materials. Since this is your first time at the school, you probably don't know the way around."
After a moment's thought, she readily agreed, "Never mind, I'll take you there so you don't have to look for it."
"Thank you so much, senior!" Chen Zhiyuan said sincerely. "This is really my first time here, and I'm completely clueless."
With someone leading the way, efficiency naturally increases significantly.
In about half an hour, Chen Zhiyuan had basically completed all the procedures: registration and payment, receiving the campus card (meal card), and getting the dormitory assignment slip.
The brand-new meal card was a magnetic card the size of an ID card. Chen Zhiyuan casually loaded two hundred yuan into it, enough to make a living by swiping the card at the various canteens on campus for a while.
Xiang Wanyu accompanied Chen Zhiyuan out of the office building, introducing the new dormitory building as they walked, her tone light and cheerful: "Your class is really lucky, most of you live in the new dormitory building."
From her, Chen Zhiyuan learned that Jiangnan University had built several high-standard dormitories, all of which were four-person rooms.
The old dormitory buildings used to have six to eight people per room, without private balconies or toilets. They used communal washrooms and bathrooms, and the conditions were incomparable to what they are now.
"Thank you so much, senior," Chen Zhiyuan said again.
"Don't mention it." Xiang Wanyu waved her hand and pointed to a tree-lined path. "I won't walk you to your dormitory. Building 13 should be over there. Just walk straight along this road for about four or five hundred meters, then turn right and you'll see the building number. It's easy to find."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for making this trip, senior." Chen Zhiyuan said goodbye with a smile.
After leaving the welcome point, Chen Zhiyuan walked to the temporary parking lot not far away, started the car, and slowly drove into the campus roads.
Sure enough, within two minutes of driving, several brand-new dormitory buildings came into view, each with a prominent white number hanging on its side.
He parked his car in an empty space in front of dormitory building 13 and took out his suitcase and other odds and ends from the trunk.
Stepping into the dormitory building, the interior environment immediately caught his eye.
As expected of a newly built building, the corridors are spacious, the walls are painted snow-white, and the floors are covered with smooth beige tiles that can almost reflect a person's image. There is also a faint smell of paint and new building materials in the air.
The accommodations are quite nice.
Chen Zhiyuan thought to himself, "As expected of a top-tier university, the level of investment is truly exceptional."
He had prepared himself mentally before he arrived, expecting a dimly lit, dilapidated, and possibly damp old dormitory. The scene before him far exceeded his expectations.
217 Dormitory.
The door was ajar, and voices could be heard coming from inside.
Chen Zhiyuan pushed open the door and entered. Inside was a family of three—a middle-aged couple who were busy attending to a short, bespectacled, and kind-looking boy. It seemed that the parents were bringing their son to school.
"Hello," Chen Zhiyuan said with a smile, "My name is Chen Zhiyuan, and I live in this dormitory."
The boy, who was about the same age as him and would be his future roommate, pushed up his glasses a little awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke with a slight Shaanxi accent: "Y-hello, my name is Duan Bin, I'm from Shaanxi."
His parents were much more enthusiastic, knowing that their son would be his classmate for the next four years, and quickly greeted him with smiles:
"Hello, hello! Are you here alone?"
"Yes, I'm from this province, it's not far, so I came here by myself."
Chen Zhiyuan responded politely, his gaze sweeping across the room before quickly finding the bed with his name on it.
The school's work was very thoughtful and meticulous; not only were names affixed to each bed, but even the uniform sheets, blankets, and mats were neatly laid out. This saved a lot of trouble.
The dormitory has a typical bunk bed and desk layout: the bed is on top, and the desk and bookshelf are underneath, with a separate wardrobe on the side.
