Upon hearing this, Huang Feifei rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, thatâs exactly my personality, aloof and arrogant, and I wonât learn from some people who start flattering others just because they have money."
Hearing this, even Chen Miao, usually good-tempered, got a bit angry and immediately said, "Huang Feifei, what do you mean by that? What do you call kissing up?"
"If you want to live alone and donât like socializing, thatâs your business! It doesnât mean everyone is like you, making friendships all about interests!" Chen Miao said with reddened eyes.
"Chen Miao, what nonsense are you spouting?" Huang Feifei immediately stood up and retorted, "Donât judge others with your petty heart!"
"What kind of gentleman are you? I think you..." Chen Miao was about to argue further.
Seeing this situation, Xia Chuyi quickly pulled Chen Miao aside and said, "Let it go. Weâre all exchange students from the same year and have to get along for a long time. Donât ruin the peace over such a small matter."
After listening to Xia Chuyiâs advice, Chen Miao finally stopped, but her face still showed anger.
Thus, Xia Chuyi added, "About the room, Iâll room with you, and let Huang Feifei have a room to herself."
"Fine, weâll share a room!" Hearing this, Chen Miao immediately said, "Let her, the high-and-mighty Miss Chen, have a room to herself. We wonât disturb her studying. Iâll wait and see how much better her grades will get!"
Huang Feifei, having obtained the right to a private room, lifted her head slightly and said proudly, "Then just you watch!"
"You..." Chen Miao was at a loss for words.
But then Xia Chuyi said, "Enough, letâs stop talking and go pack our things."
Upon hearing Xia Chuyi say this, finally having an out, Chen Miao said, "Hmph, I canât be bothered with her!"
Then she dragged her luggage, called Xia Chuyi, and went into their designated room.
Inside, Chen Miao still looked puffed up with anger.
"Junior Sister Xia... Oh well, Iâll just call you Chuyi, it feels more intimate that way." As she opened her suitcase, Chen Miao said, "That Huang Feifei, she just thinks sheâs a genius because her grades are a bit better."
"Hmph, she doesnât even consider that among those here, Li Mingzhi and you, who compares less than her?" At this point, Chen Miao took Xia Chuyiâs hand and earnestly said, "Chuyi, the school values you, and I believe in you too. Youâll definitely do better than Huang Feifei, and achieve more!"
Xia Chuyi felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.
"Promise me, you have to make it happen!" Then, Chen Miao said seriously once more.
"...Alright, Iâll do my best," Xia Chuyi said.
This little squabble did not affect their mood much.
After all, everyone had come to America, a place both exciting and unfamiliar, carrying the thrill, confusion, and melancholy of leaving home.
So, who had the time to dwell on such a trivial issue?
Due to jet lag, after roughly tidying up the room, everyone felt extremely sleepy.
Though adjusting to the time difference was necessary, it didnât have to happen all at once, so Xia Chuyi and the others followed their biological clocks and took a nap first.
In the afternoon, they got up again to continue tidying the room.
At night, they forced themselves to sleep.
After a while, everyoneâs schedule finally adjusted.
After all, being students from Kyoto University, their foundational qualities were solid, and soon, they gradually adapted to the pace of school life.
Among them, Xia Chuyi, as a foreign language student, had an easier time with language barriers and adapted better.
The others, who had learned "mute English" in their home country, gradually started to speak up due to the circumstances.
The only thing everyone didnât quite adjust to was the food here.
