Chapter 553: 221 agreed to meet, gods fight_1

The third cafeteria.

The time was close to eleven o’clock, and as the third cafeteria was on the pricey side, there weren’t many people coming and going.

Chen Hong and Xu Wenyao stood on the steps to the left of the cafeteria waiting for Bai Lian, scanning the female students that came into view.

Both of them were tall, with Xu Wenyao dressed in a teal-striped short-sleeve shirt, holding a roll of documents, his features prominent yet not overbearing, remarkably gentle, and his demeanor steady.

Chen Hong was chatting with Xu Wenyao in a relaxed manner.

In his line of sight, the campus bus stopped at the diagonal road junction ahead.

Chen Hong immediately stood erect, looking over at Xu Wenyao, “Is she on this bus?”

A few people, both men and women, got off the bus, but Chen Hong did not recognize which one was Xu Wenyao’s sister. Just as he was about to turn his head and ask Xu Wenyao, he saw the last figure alight from the rear door.

The summer sunlight was blinding, and the golden light poured onto her fluttering garment, casting a hazy halo, her excessively exquisite face reflecting a cold sharpness.

The school buses were mainly blue, painted with anime characters graffitied by the neighboring art students.

The moment she stepped off from the rear door, it was as if she had stepped from the comic into reality.

She seemed more like a celebrity active on television. Chen Hong thought she looked somewhat familiar but didn’t associate her with Xu Wenyao’s sister, and turned to speak to Xu Wenyao, “She seems even more stunning than my idol…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Xu Wenyao raise his hand.

On the opposite platform, the girl holding a stack of books walked straight over after she saw Xu Wenyao.

“Did you go to the library?” Xu Wenyao saw the books in her hand, borrowed from the school’s library.

Two were in the original language, and there were also two books that had been translated.

And there was one…

It seemed to be a music book?

Xu Wenyao remembered Bai Lian could play the guzheng, and even a section of Ji Heng’s ringtone seemed to be played by Bai Lian, so he wasn’t surprised.

“I borrowed a few books.” Bai Lian said, cradling the books and holding a bag in her hand.

She could have entered the school by making an advance reservation as a visitor, but without a campus card, how had she gotten into the library?

Before Xu Wenyao could ask, Chen Hong finally caught on and abruptly grabbed Xu Wenyao’s arm, “Wenyao, this is your sister?”

“Yes, that’s right.” Xu Wenyao turned sideways, leading Bai Lian inside and introducing her, “Chen Hong, my roommate.”

“Hello,” Bai Lian said politely to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong was a bit slow to catch on, “Ah… hello, sister.”

**

There weren’t many people in the cafeteria, so the three of them found a seat in a quiet corner.

Xu Wenyao and Chen Hong went to get their meals, which had already been ordered before Bai Lian arrived.

“I thought you were from the neighboring arts college,” Chen Hong sat opposite Xu Wenyao and spoke to Bai Lian, “But what major are you planning to study? At Jiang University, aside from those three special classes, biopharmaceuticals and plasma science are also quite popular.”

However, Bai Lian’s demeanor didn’t seem to fit any of those majors.

“I’ll probably be in the physics department.” Bai Lian picked up a vegetable with her chopsticks, both quantum mechanics and plasma science falling under the physics department.

With her other hand, she grabbed a cola placed beside her and opened the pull tab with one hand.

Chen Hong also picked up his chopsticks, his eyebrows lifting, “Then you’re like us, definitely our physics department’s little junior sister.”

Bai Lian was not very talkative while eating.

Chen Hong chatted with Xu Wenyao, both of whom were to attend the Boyuan Base summer camp during the vacation.

The Boyuan summer camp for college students was also open to international students.

There were many applicants, and the competition was fierce.

“Those freaks from the Tongfeng and Boyuan classes will be there,” Chen Hong casually complained to Xu Wenyao, “I mean they’ve all been guaranteed a spot for research, why don’t they just stay in the lab instead of joining us for the summer camp.”

Jiangjing University’s summer camp was highly regarded, and achieving good results there was very beneficial for graduate and doctoral admissions.

Bai Lian heard a familiar name, “The Boyuan class?”

The school’s three special classes,” Xu Wenyao explained to Bai Lian, “The Boyuan class, the Tongfeng class, and the preparatory class.”

“They’re like three camps for geniuses, filled with freaks,” Chen Hong put down his chopsticks, a look of respect in his eyes when he mentioned these special classes, “Most of them were exceptional talents directly recruited from national math competitions, bypassing the college entrance exams. Especially the Tongfeng class, which has two rounds of written exams and interviews.”

“For us regular college entrance exam students to get into these classes, we’d have to go through a secondary admission process. Getting into Jiang University is just a ticket to compete.”

National competitions and provincial teams, Bai Lian hadn’t heard of them.

When she was in Xiangcheng, she knew the gap between Xiangcheng and Jiangjing in terms of student resource information was huge, but only now did she realize how immense it was.
