Chapter 302 New Students Admission Chen Shuning Meets New Friends
In September, Tsinghua University was busier than usual. Birds chirped in the branches, wild ducks swam in the lake, and students read on benches along the paths.
"Shhh-"
A white-haired old man was holding a broom and bending over to sweep the fallen leaves at the door.
The doorman, Chen Fadada, came out with his hands behind his back, reached out to grab the broom, and said politely, "Professor Zhang, how can you sweep the floor? Go rest over there, I'll sweep the fallen leaves."
Zhang Jiguang straightened up and pleaded in a gentle tone, "Old Chen, my waist hurts from sitting in the office. Please let me move around a bit!"
"Walk around for a few times. Sweeping the floor isn't your job." Chen Fadada was sweeping up fallen leaves, but he wasn't idle either. "Professor Zhang, why are you here so early today?"
Zhang Jiguang stood at the door, looking out into the distance, and replied with a smile, "There are two new students arriving today, and I'd like to meet them in person."
"What students are worthy of you coming out to pick them up in person?" Chen Fadada paused, then looked up and said, "Tell me their names and I'll keep an eye out for them. When they get to school, I'll take them to you."
Zhang Jiguang shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "They said they would come soon."
Chen Fadada looked up at the sun that had just emerged and murmured, "It's too early..."
"Ding Ding-"
A crisp bell rang, and Lu Linwan appeared on the street corner on a bicycle.
"Good morning, Professor Zhang!"
"Good morning, Professor Lu."
Lu Linwan was anxious to do the experiment and did not stop. After greeting Zhang Jiguang, he went straight into the school.
Chen Fadada stood on tiptoe, looked at Lu Linwan, and whispered, "I heard that Professor Lu has found a good seedling and plans to focus on training him."
"Well, that's all."
Zhang Jiguang didn't care about the good seedlings Lu Linwan mentioned, and his tone was a bit perfunctory.
"Professor Zhang, aren't you jealous? Although our Tsinghua University is full of talented people, there are only a few good ones. You..."
Chen Fadada's eyes widened, noticing something unusual. He was stunned for a moment, then he leaned over to Zhang Jiguang and whispered, "Professor Zhang, aren't you waiting for a good seedling?"
Zhang Jiguang looked down at Chen Fadada and thought: Everyone says that Old Chen is naive and stupid, but looking at his reaction he doesn't look like a fool.
"Can't say."
"I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
As the sun rose higher, the quiet campus became busier. Zhang Jiguang moved a bench to sit by the door, occasionally looking up, his eyes searching the crowd.
Chen Jiawang and Guo Junshan, carrying their bags, hurried towards National Tsing Hua University. Chen Shuning and Guo Junyue followed them, arm in arm, at a leisurely pace.
Zhang Jiguang looked up and saw Guo Junshan, and quickly stood up and waved: "Junshan, this way!"
Guo Junshan took a few quick steps and stopped in front of Zhang Jiguang. He wiped the sweat off his face and said with a smile, "Professor Zhang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Zhang Jiguang glanced past Guo Junshan and looked behind him: "Young comrade, are you Chen Jiawang?"
Chen Jiawang nodded and replied, "Hello, Professor Zhang, I am Chen Jiawang."
Zhang Jiguang looked excited and asked loudly, "Where is your sister?"
Chen Jiawang stepped halfway aside, pointed at the girl with a sweet smile behind him, and said, "Shuning, walk faster!"
"Okay!" Zhang Jiguang grabbed Chen Jiawang's arm and led him inside: "Jiawang, let's go through the formalities first, and then go to the dormitory to put the luggage."
Zhang Jiguang turned around and called out, "Junshan, help Jiawang make the bed and pack up his things. Leave Shuning to Junyue."
"Why are you so anxious?" Guo Junshan chased after them, his tone revealing helplessness: "They won't run away."
Zhang Jiguang said anxiously, "I have two papers ready. Please arrange them and have them do the test immediately."
After pointing the way, Chen Fadada turned around and saw Zhang Jiguang. He scratched his head and sighed, "Professor Zhang is so excited. What a great talent this must be!"
Chen Shuning walked towards the dormitory building through the bustling crowd.
"Second brother, I'll send Shuning upstairs and then come find you."
"Junshan, don't bother." Chen Jiawang shook his bag and said with a smile, "Making the bed is not difficult for me."
Zhang Jiguang took the initiative and said, "I'll take Jiawang to the dormitory. We'll gather here later."
Sunlight streamed through the glass window onto the old desk. The bed frame was speckled with rust, the burrs on the bedboard long since smoothed out. The wall near the corridor was damp, with large flakes of paint peeling off.
Chen Shuning pushed open the door, looked at the empty dormitory, and walked in.
Putting the bag on the table, Guo Junshan pointed to the seat by the window and said, "Shuning, you take this seat! It's warm in the winter and you can get a cool breeze in the summer."
Chen Shuning nodded and replied, "I like this location too. It's away from the door, so the cold winter wind won't reach me."
Guo Junyue walked in unsteadily, holding a wet rag in her hand, and said with a smile, "Shuning, the bathroom is on the east side, and the public toilet is on the west side. The conditions are not as good as at home, but it is still convenient."
"Sister, this is already great! When I was in high school, there were no public toilets in the dormitory building. To go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you had to walk from the northernmost to the southernmost part. That was really hard."
Guo Junyue walked in quickly and urged softly, "Shuning, move aside. I'll clean the bed."
"Sister, let me do it!" Chen Shuning grabbed the rag and said with a smile, "Sit down and rest for a while."
Before Chen Shuning finished speaking, Guo Junshan had already snatched the rag and bent down to wipe the bed.
The bedding was newly made, fluffy and soft, and when it was spread out, it was filled with the scent of sunshine. Guo Junshan straightened up and walked out with the rag in hand.
Guo Junyue sat at her desk and wrote the words "Chen Shuning" on a sticker. Then, she placed the stickers on Chen Shuning's belongings one by one.
Chen Shuning folded the clothes in the closet, locked the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, you're here so early." A young girl appeared outside the door. She wore thick glasses and held a few books in her arms. She said shyly, "Hello, my name is Jiang Heping."
"Hello." Chen Shuning extended his hand and said with a smile, "My name is Chen Shuning. We'll be roommates from now on!"
Jiang Heping had just touched Chen Shuning's fingertips when he was pushed aside.
Chen Shuning was quick to grab Jiang Heping's hand and drag her into the house. Chen Shuning asked, "Hey, are you okay?"
Turning around, I saw a pretty, fashionably dressed lesbian.
She raised her chin slightly, her eyes showing a hint of disdain. Her gaze fell on Jiang Heping, and her tone was filled with unconcealed disdain.
"You are such an interesting lady, blocking the door and not letting anyone in. This dormitory belongs to everyone, not your home."
Jiang Heping said timidly, "You can't push me! Just tell me and I'll definitely give way."
Chen Shuning let go of Jiang Heping's hand, suppressed his displeasure, and said with a stern face, "We live in the same dormitory, you'd better change your temper."
"It's none of your business..." Before she could finish her words, she saw the clothes Chen Shuning was wearing and quickly put on a smile. "Sorry, I was just impatient. I won't do that again! My name is Mi Qiaolan, what's yours?"
"You should apologize to Comrade Jiang Heping instead of saying sorry to me."
Mi Qiaolan's lips trembled twice, and she said reluctantly: "Jiang Heping, I'm sorry."
"Peace, what's going on?"
