Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 164 Freshman Registration, Surrounded by Stars

In the morning, Chen Ma personally cooked a table full of auspicious dishes for Ning Yao.

The boiled prawns are arranged in a circle on the plate, with their heads facing the center, symbolizing good fortune.

"Rising step by step" refers to a cucumber with a hollowed-out section filled with radish, green beans, and corn kernels, from which the carved cucumber peel is used to make bamboo leaves.

"Zhuangyuan Doufu" is a dish made by stuffing salted duck egg shells with minced red garlic and tofu. It is a specialty of Chen Ma's hometown and is said to have been made for the top scholars in the imperial examinations.

There were many more dishes like this, and Ning Yao was dazzled by the variety.

She knew that Chen Ma was trying her best to encourage her, hoping that she could succeed in her studies and live up to her own and her mother's expectations.

"Thank you, Aunt Chen." Ning Yao gave Aunt Chen a bright smile, her lips curving into a wide arc, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.

After breakfast, the two children were still asleep.

Ning Yao kissed the children on the forehead, then dragged her already packed suitcase out the door.

The Imperial City Film Academy has a strict academic atmosphere and does not allow students to stay overnight off-campus. Once enrolled, students must live in the student dormitory, regardless of their background or identity.

Ning Yao specifically chose an ordinary sedan worth less than a million yuan. She drove the car to the school gate, got out, and dragged her luggage into the school.

Ning Yao has an outstanding appearance, with long, naturally wavy black hair, fair cheeks, and exquisite makeup. Her milk tea-colored lipstick outlines a clear lip line with a slight upward curve at the end.

A pure yet alluring beauty, Ning Yao is a rare sight even at the Communication University of China, where the average attractiveness level is higher than other universities. As she walked down the street, she attracted many students to turn around and look at her.

Some of the bolder ones even felt a surge of excitement and wanted to go up and ask Ning Yao for her contact information, but they were stopped by Ning Yao's seemingly gentle but actually cold and stern aura. After thinking about it, they ultimately did not take any action.

Several senior students who were welcoming the new students spotted Ning Yao and immediately went up to her.

"Hello, you must be the freshman who's here to register today. Which department are you in? I'll take you there."

"Hey, have you no sportsmanship? I got here first, this junior is mine, move to the back!"

"Junior, let me show you the way. I know the campus better. These two guys have no sense of direction. If you go with them, you won't see the freshman registration area until dark."

"Nonsense! Who's directionally challenged? Besides, so what if I am? I have navigation software. Follow me, you won't get lost!"

Several senior students eagerly offered to lead the way for Ning Yao, their faces beaming with enthusiasm.

"I'm a directing and acting major," Ning Yao replied with a smile, looking at her seniors with anticipation in her beautiful fox-like eyes.

When Ning Yao smiles, her eyes crinkle into crescents, her face clean and pure—the epitome of a "white moonlight" face.

Her smile instantly captivated the hearts of several senior students.

"Haha, now you can't take it from me, right? This is my junior from the same department!" One of the boys was as excited as if he had won the lottery. He took a few steps forward and stretched out his arm to help Ning Yao with her luggage.

"No need, I can take it myself." Ning Yao smiled and politely declined, not giving her senior a chance to be overly attentive.

The senior from the performing arts department scratched the back of his head, seemingly unconcerned.

The others were unwilling to let such a beauty be snatched away right under their noses, so they shamelessly followed Ning Yao around, sparing no effort to fawn over her and ask after her well-being.

Ning Yao had only taken a couple of steps when a ostentatious, shiny black sports car cut in front of her and several senior students, blocking their way.

Ning Yao stopped in her tracks, pulling her suitcase, and raised an eyebrow at the car that had suddenly appeared in front of her. An ominous feeling arose inexplicably in her heart.

Tsk, such an arrogant way of driving, they're up to no good.

A girl, about the same age as her, got off the bus quickly. She had fair skin, beautiful features, and was quite pretty.

A commotion erupted around them. The girl looked six or seven points similar to Ning Yao, as if they were related by blood.

However, upon closer inspection, the difference can still be seen; the girl only resembles the girl in appearance, but not in spirit.

Moreover, Ning Yao has better skin and is a few centimeters taller, making her someone that even girls in high heels can't catch up to.

"What a grand entrance! Could she be some wealthy heiress?"

"I don't think so. Anyone who can attend classes at the Communication University of China must have a good-looking face. It's not necessarily her family's money; maybe it's her sugar daddy who's paying for it."

"She looks unfamiliar. She doesn't seem like one of our senior students. Is she a freshman here to register?"

"She's quite pretty, and has a good figure, but compared to the other one, this girl in the luxury car loses in terms of temperament." Someone with a keen eye immediately noticed the difference between Ning Yao and the other girl.

Ignoring the whispers of those around her, the girl, dressed in a designer mini-skirt, walked up to Ning Yao, her chin slightly raised and a smile playing on her lips.

"Am I seeing things? Someone actually arrived at school in a beat-up car worth hundreds of thousands?"

“Even if this beat-up car were given to my maids, they would still complain that it was too cheap and not classy enough.”

The girl spoke with an air of superiority, as if she were the queen of the world, and everyone around her was nothing but grass and beggars.

Who is this person?

What is its origin?

What resentment what?

He actually started by mocking her for driving a cheap car to school.

Could she be a rabid dog that escaped from some mental hospital in the suburbs of the capital, biting anyone she catches?

In just a few minutes, countless thoughts raced through Ning Yao's mind as she silently raised one eyebrow.

Several senior students saw another pretty and charming girl come out. Although she was not as good as Ning Yao, she was still prettier than most people.

Most importantly, this girl is rich. She drives a luxury sports car worth tens of millions to school, so her family background must be extraordinary.

The group looked at each other, and apart from the boy from the directing and acting department, everyone else gathered around the girl in the luxury car.

Miao Yuliu saw that the people who were originally surrounding Ning Yao had turned to her, and her smug look became even more pronounced.

Ning Yao was too lazy to argue with a lunatic. She picked up her suitcase and walked past Miao Yuliu as if she couldn't see her, heading into the campus.

The senior from the performing arts department followed closely behind, without even glancing at Miao Yuliu.

Miao Yuliu was annoyed. Ignoring the boys who were approaching her, she stared at the senior next to Ning Yao, cleared her throat, and said, "Senior, I'm also in the Directing and Acting Department. Can you take me to the freshman registration office?"

“I can give you money.” Miao Yuliu was quite arrogant, thinking that money could buy someone’s favor and attentiveness.

She wasn't interested in the senior; she was just upset because he didn't seem to care about her.

"I'm sorry, I've already made arrangements. The other senior brothers will take you there," Shu Jing'an replied coldly, displeased.

"You're not going to arrange for this woman who drives a beat-up car worth hundreds of thousands, are you? What good can she do for you? Am I not as pretty as her? Are you blind?" Miao Yuliu scoffed, her tone full of disdain.

Enraged, Shu Jing'an clenched his fists.

Ning Yao glanced at Miao Yuliu and was about to speak when someone suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted in surprise.

"Look, a helicopter is flying towards our school! What a beautiful helicopter!"
