Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Bumping into an Alumnus
Xia Chuyi hadnât been staying in the dormitory for the past couple of days, so by the time she got back, the dormitory was already full.
âXia Chuyi, youâre back?â Zheng Yan, who had met her once before, took it upon herself to introduce the others.
âWang Shuihua, Huang Fangfei, theyâre in the math department like me.â
âLi Shufen, Chen Qiujie, Chen Tian, Jiang Shuqin, theyâre in foreign languages like you.â
Unlike Chi Yue, her roommates gave Xia Chuyi a pretty good vibe.
The cultured were cultured, the gentle were gentle, especially Jiang Shuqin, a local from Capital City.
In her, there was both the natural poise of a Capital City native and their sense of humor that was amusing and charming.
Everyone had their own privacy, so no one really asked where she had been the past two days.
Since the opening ceremony was early the next morning, everyone in the dormitory chatted away until late at night before falling asleep.
The next morning everyone got up very early and went to the auditorium together. By the time they arrived, many people were already there. They found their class seats and settled in.
Xia Chuyi hadnât attended college in her previous life, so she was just as excited about everything as her classmates.
At the ceremony, after several leaders gave their speeches, a senior named Chen Zhou took the stage, representing the students.
This senior was refined and elegant, his voice steady and strong, and his words, lively and engaging.
Applause broke out in waves throughout the auditorium.
Xia Chuyi also clapped happily along with everyone else.
A bit later, it dawned on her that this senior, Chen Zhou, was the same person who later became a renowned scholar!
My goodness! It was only then that Xia Chuyi started to feel a bit excited.
Kyoto University, this is Kyoto University!
The gathering place of top students, a fountain of hope for the future leaders across all industries.
She was lucky to have become a student here.
Honestly, if it wasnât for the decent education in Ling County and her excellent English scores, she might not have had the chance to enter this top national university.
But now that she was here, she was determined not to fall short of the schoolâs esteemed reputation.
Today I am proud of my alma mater, tomorrow my alma mater will be proud of meâthis phrase couldnât be more fitting when it came to Kyoto University.
Suddenly, Xia Chuyi felt her blood boiling with excitement.
When the ceremony was over, on the way back to the dormitory, Zheng Yan chattered excitedly, âDid you guys notice how handsome Senior Chen Zhou is?â
Hearing her straightforward comment, the others blushed a little.
The shy Chen Tian stuttered in agreement, âI, I donât know!â
At this point, Jiang Shuqin said with a laugh, âOh, come on, why be shy? Weâre in a new society now. Theyâre allowed to judge us, why canât we voice our opinions about them?â
With her frank comment, everyone laughed.
After the opening ceremony ended with the settling into classes, textbook distributions, electing class officials, and a reinforcement of school regulations, they were dismissed.
Xia Chuyi was heading back to âYouweiâ to help prepare materials, so she said goodbye to everyone first.
Jiang Shuqin was planning to go home to pick up a few things and was going the same way, so the two of them walked out of campus, chatting and laughing together.
As they turned a corner, they accidentally bumped into someone.
âSorry!â After bumping into the person, Xia Chuyi instinctively apologized.
âOuch!â The tone of the other person was a bit unfriendly, but upon seeing her face, the personâs expression immediately turned to surprise, âItâs you?â
âYouâre also a student at Kyoto University?â
Xia Chuyi frowned slightly.
What bad luck, she thought, running into the same âschoolmateâ she had encountered on the train, Song Yingjie.
Jiang Shuqin looked at her curiously and silently teased her, You know him?
Xia Chuyi: âŠ
Know him my ass.
