The people in the private room had just finished their College Entrance Examination and had a lot of common memories and sentiments about high school life. They instantly became comfortable and talkative when they talked about homework and staying up late to do questions. The group of young people quickly became familiar with each other.
Qiao Nian didnât say much. Only when they occasionally brought the topic to her did she respond with a few words. Her answers were also very concise.
In just half an hour, Song Tian and the others had basically figured out her personality. She wasnât the talkative type, but she had a good personality and was very polite to others. In any case, she wasnât difficult to get along with.
After everyone figured out one anotherâs personalities, the conversation became increasingly lively. The topic gradually shifted from the College Entrance Examination to University. Questions included: âHow long have you been in Beijing?â, âHave you gone to a certain scenic spot to check it out?â, âTell me if thereâs anything delicious near schoolâ and more...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
From time to time, new faces would come to the private room. They were other new students of the Chinese Medicine Faculty.
As soon as someone came in, a new round of introductions would begin.
Then, they would go back to the original topics.
Qiao Nian sat quietly by the side and listened to their conversation. From time to time, she would look down at her cell phone to check her messages.
Coincidentally, Liang Bowen sent her a message at this moment: [Sister Nian, Iâm at school. What about you? What are you doing? Are you in Beijing? Do you want to eat together?]
Many people from Class A got into the universities in Beijing. However, everyone applied for different majors and schools. They were scattered in various universities.
Liang Bowen and Shen Qingqing originally planned to get into Qing University. However, there was a small problem when they were filling out the application form. Shen Qingqing went to the Law Department of Nanjing University and Liang Bowen entered Qing Universityâs Biological Engineering Department. It seemed like they were coming from Rao City as school was going to begin.
Bored, Qiao Nian propped up the side of her face with her hand and tapped on her cell phone to reply.
As soon as she did, the door of the private room was opened.
Shen Yugui rushed over after finishing his work. As soon as he entered, the heat from outside poured in, forming a heat wave and contrasting with the cold air in the private room.
âProfessor Shen.â
âTeacher Shen.â
There was some silence.
The private room immediately became lively the moment Shen Yugui entered. Everyone greeted him obediently.
Qiao Nian didnât like the heat. She found the air conditioner remote control and adjusted the temperature down by two degrees. Then, she leaned back in her chair. Unlike the others, she didnât rush to the teacher. She pressed down on the brim of her cap, revealing her red lips and snow-white neckline.
Shen Yugui saw her immediately. He felt relieved seeing that Qiao Nian was here.
After all, this big shot from their department was famous for not joining in the fun. Previously, Principal Liang had organized a party, but Qiao Nian had not attended. He was afraid that Qiao Nian wouldnât come this time.
He pulled out a chair and sat down. He had slept for a total of five hours over two days and was exhausted.
However, he was very satisfied to be immersed in the research he liked. He felt fulfilled no matter how tired his body was. He looked around at the new students and smiled, his mood further improved. He said warmly, âThe reason why I called everyone here today is for everyone to meet and get to know each other. Thereâs also something else I want to discuss with you.â
Shen Yugui wasnât as sociable and well-versed as Liang Lu. Of course, unlike her, he also did not like to put on airs in front of his students. Shen Yugui was more easygoing and willing to get along with them.
âYou know that thereâs a school opening ceremony every year at Qing University. Itâs like a school anniversary celebration! Your high school should also have a schoolâs anniversary event, so you know the general situation Iâm talking about.â
