Chapter 1001: The Package Has Arrived
When Tang Ruixuan had almost finished packing her luggage, her phone rang. After answering, she hung up after only a few words and then prepared to go downstairs to pick up the luggage delivered by the courier company.
"Did someone bring you something? I'll help you carry it so you don't have to run back and forth." Chen Yue was very helpful.
Zhou Xiaoyu timidly offered to help, and Tang Ruixuan did not refuse, saying she would thank her two roommates later.
When she arrived at the dormitory building, the courier company staff were waiting. Tang Ruixuan signed the form and then received her checked luggage.
Zhou Xiaoyu's eyes widened at the sight of three suitcases—two large and one small.
"Is all of this yours?"
Chen Yue was also curious: "What do you have in there?"
Tang Ruixuan gave a simple answer: "Just some clothes and daily necessities."
In fact, the three suitcases contained seasonal clothes, a set of bedding, a small air purifier, and some personal items she usually uses at home.
The air purifier was forced on her by her elderly mother, Zeng Hong. Zeng Hong believed that the quality of the living environment would affect her studies and life, so she was particular about some details. Tang Ruixuan could only compromise on this. She had already agreed not to send her to school, so she should agree to this request to avoid upsetting her mother again.
Tang Ruixuan carried the largest suitcase, which contained some professional books. Chen Yue helped carry another large suitcase, while Zhou Xiaoyu carried the smallest one. Together, the three of them carried the three suitcases up to the third floor, and they were all panting heavily.
"Wow, that's really heavy!" Back in the dormitory, Chen Yue plopped down in her chair, exhausted.
Zhou Xiaoyu wasn't much better off. more than.
Tang Ruixuan, without taking a break, immediately took the things out of the box and started organizing them; her bed hadn't been made yet.
The other two in the dormitory watched as Tang Ruixuan took things out of the box one by one. They noticed that there were no labels on Tang Ruixuan's clothes, but the fabric looked very good. They also noticed that the lamp was one they had never seen before, with a very unique design.
"Tang Ruixuan, what does your family do?" After looking for a while, Chen Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, my dad owns a restaurant, and my mom is an accountant at a company." Tang Ruixuan didn't reveal much more.
Chen Yue and Zhou Xiaoyu didn't believe it. This new roommate didn't seem like a child from an ordinary family, but since he didn't say anything, they didn't want to pry, especially since they had only just met.
Tang Ruixuan went to the cafeteria alone at noon, but she had made plans with Chen Yue, Zhou Xiaoyu, and Lin Weiwei to treat them to dinner that evening.
After lunch, she planned to explore the campus alone.
To be honest, the cafeteria at Jinling University is much better than the dormitories—spacious and bright. Although it's not officially the start of the semester yet, there are already many freshmen and graduate students who arrived early eating in the cafeteria.
Tang Ruixuan ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and found a quiet spot to sit down.
While eating, she checked her phone for messages from her parents and uncle, all asking if she was settled and telling her to call them back when she had time.
Tang Ruixuan planned to call her parents and uncle after dinner. There were a lot of people in the cafeteria at the moment, so it wouldn't be convenient to make a call, but she still sent a message to her uncle first.
She had just put down her phone when two people sat down opposite her. She looked up and saw that one was Tong Hua, who had been in charge of welcoming new students that morning, and the other was someone she didn't recognize.
The two men, carrying trays, were covered in sweat, looking as if they had done some kind of physical labor.
Tong Hua took the initiative to ask, "Tang Ruixuan, how are you? Is the dorm alright?"
Tang Ruixuan replied politely, "It's fine."
By this time, the boy next to Tong Hua had been staring at Tang Ruixuan for quite a while, his eyes filled with amazement. He nudged Tong Hua with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Who is she? Why didn't you introduce her to me?"
Tong Hua immediately said, "By the way, let me introduce you. This is my roommate, Zhao Mingyu, from the School of Computer Science. This is Tang Ruixuan, a freshman in our School of Intelligence Science this year."
Zhao Mingyu nudged Tong Hua with his elbow again: "So that's why you were so eager to apply to be a volunteer! You had ulterior motives!" He then winked at Tong Hua.
Tong Hua blushed and said, "I didn't!"
Tang Ruixuan seemed not to hear what the two were saying and continued to eat her lunch quietly.
But the other person took the initiative to start a conversation: "I heard from Lao Tong that you came alone, junior? That's amazing! When I came to register a year ago, not only did my parents come, but all my aunts and uncles came too, like a tour group."
Tang Ruixuan smiled slightly when she heard this. Although she didn't have her parents or uncle escort her, her uncle still arranged for someone to escort her all the way to school. Although he didn't tell her this, she knew it all. So, strictly speaking, she didn't come alone. However, she certainly wouldn't tell outsiders about these things.
At this moment, Tong Hua remembered something and said to Tang Ruixuan, "By the way, there's a freshman orientation meeting at the college tonight in the Jing Si Building auditorium. It starts at seven o'clock. Don't forget to attend. The notice should already be posted on the bulletin board outside your dormitory. Take a look every day when you pass by so you don't miss it."
Tang Ruixuan nodded: "Okay, I'll go, thank you, senior!"
Tang Ruixuan had almost finished her lunch. After saying goodbye to the two of them, she left. Watching her departing figure, Zhao Mingyu looked at Tong Hua meaningfully: "Old Tong, now you have a target, and from your own college no less! You're bound to have a head start!"
Tong Hua smiled wryly: "Forget it! You know the quality of the girls in our School of Intelligence. The average appearance of the girls has always been below the passing grade. Now that this girl has arrived, she has immediately raised the average to above the passing grade. Just watch, there will be no shortage of people eyeing a girl like her. The competition will be too fierce." At this point, Tong Hua shook her head.
He then added, "And I feel she's different from other girls. It's not that she's aloof, but there's an invisible distance between her and others. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Hey, aren't all pretty girls like that? They all like to put on airs." Zhao Mingyu said dismissively.
Tong Hua didn't respond. He had to admit that he did have feelings for Tang Ruixuan, but his intuition told him that this girl was very different from the other girls in the school. Her every move and the way she spoke were very poised and composed. From this, he could infer that this girl's family must be extraordinary.
After leaving the cafeteria, Tang Ruixuan wandered around the campus alone and made a phone call home.
"Mom, I've arrived. I just had lunch and am getting familiar with the school now."
"Oh, you finally called! If you hadn't called, I would have called you. Did you receive your luggage? Is your bed ready? How's the dorm? How many people are living there?" Zeng Hong immediately bombarded her with a barrage of questions. There's no way around it; as the old saying goes, a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles. Most Chinese parents are like that.
Tang Ruixuan carefully reported the situation to her elderly mother to put her mind at ease.
The mother and daughter talked on the phone for a full half hour before ending. Finally, Zeng Hong instructed her daughter, "Your father will call later. Call your uncle first; he's probably waiting for your call. He's an elder, so it wouldn't be right for him to call you first!"
"I understand. I've already replied to my uncle's message. I'll call him in a bit," Tang Ruixuan replied.
