Ye Ling led the two young women to the registration area. The upperclasswomen handling new student sign-ups immediately brightened upon seeing him.
However, the sight of Ning Ruoxi at his side made them instantly dismiss any such notions.
Ning Ruoxi was simply too beautifulâso beautiful that they felt they didnât stand a chance.
The registration process for new students was actually quite simple. It was basically just signing your name, and then the person in charge would have you join two group chats.
One was the main group for all freshmen, where upperclassmen would usually answer questions. The other was the department group, where future announcements and other matters would be posted.
Itâs worth mentioning that university isnât like high school, where you see your homeroom teacher all day long...
Typically, freshmen are assigned to a "small class," which, to be frank, is just a group led by selected upperclassmen who are there to help new students adjust to life on campus.
As for the head of the "large class," you might not even see them more than a few times throughout your entire four years of university.
"Looks like thatâs about it. Shall we take a stroll around campus?" Ye Ling said, turning to Ning Ruoxi and Luo Yue after he finished joining the groups.
Ning Ruoxi nodded in agreement.
According to the announcement in the group chat, all they had to do today was sign in and register. The official start of school was tomorrow.
Of course, students living on campus had to move into their dorms today...
And if you wanted to live off campus, you had to apply for it.
Ye Ling, of course, had no intention of staying in a dorm.
After all, on one hand, you had a cramped dorm with three slobs for roommates. On the other hand, you had Tomson Riviera, with a gorgeous wife and adorable Xiaoyuanyuan at home.
âWas there even a choice?â
âIt had to be the latter, obviously!â
Modu University was actually quite large, with three full campuses. And more importantly, all three campuses were adjacent to each other!
In a place like Modu, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, you could imagine how rare that was.
Ye Ling led the two young women on a casual stroll around the Modu University campus. In truth, his main reason for suggesting it was to give Ning Ruoxi a greater sense of security.
âAfter all, if they walked around more and people got used to seeing them together, maybe fewer suitors would come knocking, right?â
But clearly, Ye Ling was overthinking thingsâor perhaps he was just too naive. As they walked, people would approach them from time to time, asking for their WeChat...
Some asked for his contact info, others for Ning Ruoxiâs. And of course, a good number of people asked for our little Luo Yueâs WeChat as well.
Eventually, Ye Ling pinpointed the cause of the problem: it was mainly because of Luo Yue.
âIf it were just him and Ning Ruoxi walking around campus, there probably wouldnât be an issue. No one would be dense enough to walk up to an obvious couple just to get a face full of PDA...â
âThe key was, they were a group of three!â
Many people would assume they werenât a couple and come over to ask for their contact info. Of course, maybe some would think Ye Ling was on a date with two women at once and stay away...
But people who thought that way were in the minority.
After all, both Ning Ruoxi and Luo Yue were stunningly beautiful!
"Ugh, Iâm so hungry. I donât want to walk around anymore."
Luo Yue pouted, rubbing her lower back wearily.
She wouldnât have been so tired just from enjoying the scenery, but the problem was that every few steps, someone would come up to ask for their contact info. Then theyâd have to stop and turn them down...
...and they had to be careful not to sound too harsh.
âIt was like running a damn gauntlet!â
"Iâm feeling a bit tired, too,"
Ning Ruoxi said with a helpless sigh, rubbing her temples.
"Then letâs head back. Iâll cook today."
Ye Ling nodded, deciding not to continue their walk.
Modu University was just too big. At their current pace of taking three steps and then stopping, God knows how long it would take to see everything.
"Ooh, yay, yay! I want braised pork belly!"
Luo Yueâs eyes instantly lit up at the suggestion.
"Alright, Iâll make it for you."
Ye Ling said with a small smile.
Just as the three of them returned home, the Modu University campus forum suddenly exploded with activity.
[Saw three super-hot freshmen on campus today! Omg, theyâre way too good-looking. This old upperclasswomanâs heart is fluttering!]
[I saw them too!!!]
[Yeah, the guy was super hot!]
[For real? Any pics? I have a friend who wants to know...]
...
Many people chimed in on the discussion. Then, someone uploaded a candid photo they had just snapped of Ye Lingâs group, and it instantly drew a massive crowd of onlookers.
Although the angle of the candid shot was a bit awkward, their looks still held up remarkably well. It was enough to instantly attract a large following of upperclassmen.
[Whoa! So gorgeous! Iâm totally smitten!]
[Seriously? Modu University has students this good-looking!? I thought this place was supposed to be the domain of plain Janes and plaid-shirt-wearing nerds!]
[What are you trying to say, person above?! Believe it or not, this humble monk will hit you with the Great Heavenly Dragon Palm!]
...
Before long, the thread had over five hundred replies and shot straight to the top of the "hot" list!
DING! DING! DING!
Ye Ling was at home cooking for the two young women when his phone suddenly started buzzing nonstop.
âWhatâs going on?â
Ye Ling found it a bit strange. He pulled out his phone and saw that the notifications were from the main freshman group chat he had just joined. There were suddenly forty or fifty messages tagging him.
[@Ye Ling, hey freshman, is this you!?]
[@Ye Ling, check the campus forum!]
[@Ye Ling, wake up, wake up! Youâve gone viral!]
[@Ye Ling, bro, quick, share the contact info for the two girls with you. This upperclassman has a friend whoâs asking...]
...
The flood of tags left Ye Ling completely baffled. âWhatâs with these people? Why is everyone suddenly tagging me?â
At that moment, Luo Yue rushed into the kitchen. "Master, Master!" she exclaimed, looking at Ye Ling. "Our picture got posted on the campus forum!"
"What?"
Ye Ling was stunned.
He took the phone from her, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he finally understood what was going on...
As for how everyone had found Ye Lingâs account, the explanation was actually quite simple. His profile picture on his Penguin account was a photo of himself.
Ye Ling could only sigh. âBeing this good-looking really is a hassle!â
âSo much drama just from a walk around campus!â
