Chapter 202 Classmates
As night deepened, the dormitory lights had long been turned off, but the excitement and exhilaration of the freshmen remained undiminished, and the sounds of their conversations still echoed in the darkness.
The three roommates were very curious about Lu Yuan's girlfriend, not out of any ill intent, but because they were eager to find out about Lu Yuan's dating history.
As three inexperienced romantic novices, they are eager to learn from Lu Yuan so that they can gain practical experience in pursuing girlfriends in the future.
Lu Yuan couldn't refuse them, so he could only share the story of how he met Ye Yixian, half-truthfully, just to amuse his roommates.
The excitement didn't subside until late into the night, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.
There were no early classes the next day, and the atmosphere in the dormitory was particularly lazy, with everyone getting up quite late.
Lu Yuan slept until noon.
The first thing I do when I open my eyes is pick up my phone to check messages.
The first message that popped up on the screen was from Gao Ya, mainly reporting on the recent operational status of "Yuanxian Wardrobe".
During Lu Yuan's absence, she and Lin Kai were afraid that they might mess up their fledgling business if they didn't handle things properly.
After carefully reviewing all the data and confirming that everything was operating normally, Lu Yuan told them to relax and continue operating according to the established plan.
After finishing his work, Lu Yuan opened Ye Yixian's chat window.
She sent her message around 9 a.m., when she had just gotten up.
Ye Yixian's biological clock has always been regular. He rarely sleeps in and usually wakes up naturally around seven o'clock.
The fact that they were able to sleep in until 9 a.m. today suggests that their dorm room must have been incredibly excited about the new student registration last night, chatting until the wee hours.
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and replied with "Good morning." He then dealt with a few unimportant messages before leisurely getting out of bed to go to the bathroom to wash up.
My roommate, Zhong Daming, is a complete gaming addict. The moment he opens his eyes, he sits in front of the computer and begins his daily online gaming routine.
However, the fact that he was able to get into a science and technology university despite being so heavily addicted to games shows that he is no ordinary person.
Lu Yuan was brushing his teeth when his phone suddenly vibrated. It was Ye Yixian replying: [It's already noon, so I should say good afternoon.]
Lu Yuan chuckled softly as he looked at the screen and typed a reply: "[After saying good afternoon, you should take a nap. I haven't even eaten yet.]"
Ye Yixian: [Then you should eat well. I'm going to the cafeteria with Lin Yan and Jiang Yiqing now, and we need to meet in the classroom later.]
Upon seeing this message, Lu Yuan was slightly surprised: [You went to dinner with Jiang Yiqing?]
Ye Yixian: [Yes, they're old acquaintances after all, no need to make a fuss.]
Lu Yuan understood.
When two people who are not very familiar with each other are in a completely unfamiliar environment, it is easy for them to feel a sense of kinship, like "meeting an old friend in a foreign land," and naturally they will feel closer to each other.
This is probably the current situation for Ye Yixian and Jiang Yiqing.
Lu Yuan didn't know which university Jiang Yiqing had been admitted to in her previous life. I didn't ask, but what I was sure of was that Ye Yixian didn't go to university at that time, let alone be classmates with Jiang Yiqing.
In this life, he successfully turned the gears of fate.
Ye Yixian not only successfully passed the university entrance exam, but also became classmates with Jiang Yiqing.
Lu Yuan had no idea what unknown consequences the flapping of this butterfly's wings would bring.
But he knew very well that the tide of the times would never stop because of the choice of a small person.
His rebirth cannot change the trajectory of the world's development; the sun and moon will still rise in the east and set in the west as usual, and tropical typhoons will still come as they are destined to.
So there's absolutely no need to worry about any "cheating and world destruction" scenarios.
However, the social circle around him is destined to be subject to uncontrollable deviations due to his choices.
As for where these deviations will ultimately lead, and whether one can accept them calmly, one can only let nature take its course.
Lu Yuan: [Alright, as long as you two get along well.]
Ye Yixian: [Don't worry, she and Lin Yan are both very nice people. Remember to eat well.]
Lu Yuan: [Okay.]
After his roommates finished washing up, Lu Yuan went to the cafeteria with them to fill their stomachs.
Everyone was filled with curiosity about the new classmates they were about to meet.
Therefore, for this class assembly, except for a very few unlucky students who couldn't find the classroom and were a little late, the vast majority of people arrived early.
Lu Yuan's major, Clothing Engineering, has three classes with a total of over one hundred students, and his class has a full forty students, making it a truly large class.
The male-to-female ratio is exactly 50/50.
Both men and women are filled with a desire to explore each other.
Upon entering the classroom, everyone subtly began to observe and sized them up:
Some remained silent, secretly plotting in their hearts;
Some whispered their opinions to their newly acquainted roommates.
"There are quite a few girls in our class."
"I thought science majors were mostly male-dominated."
"Wu Kun, your drool is practically dripping out. Wipe it off, it's so embarrassing."
Lu Yuan's roommates were also whispering amongst themselves, making quite a scene.
The other boys were also secretly assessing the "quality" of the girls in the class.
It's not necessarily that they all intend to "eat the grass near their nest," but they just think that if there are good-looking people in the class, they will feel proud when organizing class activities in the future.
Of course, some bolder girls secretly discussed the boys' appearances.
What others thought was unknown, but after Wu Kun and his two companions looked around, they could basically reach a consensus:
Xu Lingjing is definitely the prettiest girl in the class.
Her looks and temperament are far ahead of the crowd. Not to mention being the class beauty, she would definitely be a contender for the department beauty or the school beauty.
At this moment, Xu Lingjing and her roommates were sitting in the middle of the second row of the classroom.
They all seemed to be quiet and reserved girls, speaking cautiously, and even when talking about happy things, they would just cover their mouths and chuckle softly, behaving very appropriately.
Xu Lingjing's gaze kept drifting towards Lu Yuan, as if she wanted to exchange a glance with him.
Lu Yuan pretended not to see it.
He sat down in the back row of the classroom, looked down at his phone, and continued chatting with Ye Yixian.
Ye Yixian has also gathered in the classroom.
She messaged him saying that there were 36 students in their finance class, with a male-to-female ratio of about 40% to 60%. Just as Lu Yuan had predicted, there were more girls than girls in the finance major.
Just then, a young female teacher in her mid-twenties walked into the classroom with two older students.
After introductions, everyone learned that the young female teacher was their counselor, and the other two were assistant class teachers responsible for managing the class.
The counselor took out the roster and started calling roll, asking the students whose names were called to stand up and answer "present".
This is both to help her quickly remember the faces of the new students and to give the students a chance to get to know each other.
The roster appears to be ranked according to the students' college entrance examination scores.
Surprisingly, Zhong Daming was the first to be called out.
He actually achieved the highest score in the entire class on the college entrance examination.
You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Zhong Daming is a chubby man who is somewhat insecure about his appearance.
As the first person called out, he stood up and answered "present" with obvious hesitation and visibly shyness, his face turning as red as a ripe peach.
Seeing this, the counselor cleverly made a joke, instantly easing the tension and making the first meeting less awkward.
Roll call continues. The second is Xu Lingjing's roommate, who wears glasses and looks extremely quiet. She was even more shy than Zhong Daming when she stood up.
Then another girl...
When it was Lu Yuan's turn, he was the tenth person to be called out.
He was tall and upright with regular features, and had a calm and powerful aura.
When he stood up, he showed no signs of stage fright and remained calm and composed.
His appearance immediately caused a suppressed murmur among the girls.
Without a doubt, he definitely deserves a place among the "class heartthrobs" of this year's freshmen.
After about three or four more people, Xu Lingjing was finally called upon.
The moment she stood up, a slight commotion was clearly caused in the classroom.
Even the counselor and the two teaching assistants were amazed by her outstanding looks and temperament.
The phrase "a feast for the eyes" perfectly describes Hsu Ling-ching.
Even just a glance at someone so beautiful can instantly brighten one's mood.
The counselor was probably also very happy that there was such a beautiful girl in her class.
If we hold events like the school sports meet in the future, having her hold up the placard and lead the team will definitely make the class proud.
After the roll call of forty people was completed, everyone had a preliminary impression of each other.
Most of these new students were admitted through hard work in middle school. After only one summer vacation, they still had a youthful air about them and their eyes still showed some immaturity.
Of course, there are a very few people with outstanding temperament like Lu Yuan and Xu Lingjing, but they are ultimately a minority.
