The University Students of Today Are Truly Strange

Chapter 21: University Students Nowadays Are Really Strange

At 5 AM in Su City, even in summer, it was a bit cool.

Occasionally, a few university students, just returning from an all-night session at an internet cafe, would be carrying breakfast from the shops at the school gate, laughing and reminiscing about the brilliant plays from their gaming session last night.

However, their complexions were all the same, with a thick layer of oil and obvious dark circles under their eyes.

Su Qi looked at the university students in small groups. Similarly, they were looking at Su Qi with a strange gaze. Why was she wearing the long-sleeved school uniform for autumn in the middle of summer?

Unlike high school, university did not have strict regulations about wearing school uniforms every day. However, they were required to wear them on certain special holidays, such as during military training or sports meets.

Of course, the school uniforms were not given for free; they were purchased for 200 yuan per set upon admission.

But usually, students would just throw them on a hanger.

It was ridiculous. University students who had suffered through wearing school uniforms for three years wouldn't obediently wear them in university.

Therefore, Su Qi, wearing the black and white Su University school uniform, was quite conspicuous!

At this moment, Su Qi was carrying a laptop bag. Inside the bag were her Apple laptop, digital drawing tablet, and a series of other electronic products. The bag was packed so full that anyone who didn't know would think she was moving.

Moving, that's right, Su Qi did want to move.

The reason was the explosive remarks made by her roommates Han Yixing and Wang Dongxu after she pretended to be asleep last night.

Wang Dongxu: "Brother Han, the bathroom smells so good. I suspect it's not perfume. I looked everywhere just now and couldn't find any."

Han Yixing: "I always feel like Su Qi has become a bit effeminate lately!"

Wang Dongxu: "I feel the same way. No, I have to ask him tomorrow morning where he bought this perfume. I'll buy one for my girlfriend too."

After that, the bored two chatted for a while longer. Su Qi didn't dare to move.

When the dormitory door opened at 5 AM, she tiptoed out, packing her things. She was the first to run out of the dormitory building.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if she spoke with her changed voice. Would her roommates just "deal with her" on the spot?

After all, they had joked before that if she became a girl, she would let them have fun first!

Jiangsu University had four campuses, and Su Qi was assigned to the main campus. Compared to other campuses, the main campus was closer to the city center, so ordering takeout and similar services were very convenient. Housing was also convenient.

Countless university couples rented apartments nearby, starting their lives of domesticity early.

Wang Dongxu, her roommate, had also had this idea. Unfortunately, his girlfriend was a nursing student, and nursing schools had stricter regulations. They even had a dorm inspection custom at night.

So, it didn't work out. However, Wang Dongxu had indeed inquired about nearby apartments for a long time back then.

Among the many shared bikes, Su Qi immediately spotted the shabby little yellow bike, "of*".

The thought of this made her a little angry. She didn't expect this company to disappear just like that, and her 100 yuan deposit hadn't been returned. To balance her emotions, whenever she encountered a little yellow bike, Su Qi would ride it once or twice, determined to spend that 100 yuan.

Creak, creak.

The little yellow bike, no longer maintained by its guardian, let out a protesting sound, drawing the attention of many morning runners.

The early morning air was incredibly refreshing, and every pore felt comfortable as the air hit her face.

After cycling for about eight minutes, Su Qi arrived downstairs at her destination.

The grand gate was inscribed with six large, majestic characters in gilded font: Suzhou Green Town Apartment.

The dark gray stone gate pillars looked imposing. Two guards stood at the entrance, standing very straight, greeting passing residents with smiles.

This was an apartment under Green City, focusing on service. As for the rental price, that was a hard drawback, but everything else was acceptable.

Wang Dongxu had really wanted to rent here back in the day. It was understandable, with the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the well-decorated interior, and the high-class community; it looked satisfying from every angle.

Su Qi walked to a bulletin board next to the guardhouse. The left side was covered with dense rental information, while the right side had only a few sale listings.

The layouts of commercial and residential apartments were simple: one kitchen, one bathroom, and the rest was a living room/bedroom, about 24-27 square meters.

If a couple's love nest was just right, it would be very cramped for a family of three. To put it mildly, it was like a hotel room that was slightly larger, better decorated, and had the same layout.

Su Qi looked at the information displayed.

A 27-square-meter apartment on the fourteenth floor, fully furnished, for 2600 yuan/month.

A 26-square-meter apartment on the twenty-third floor, fully furnished with furniture, for 3200 yuan/month.

Su Qi didn't understand why the price range was so high.

Moreover, renting here required a deposit plus three months' rent. If it were 3000 yuan, wouldn't that be 12000 yuan?

Su Qi couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. But despite the heartache, there was nothing she could do.

Didn't the significance of her moving this time lie in the issue of safety? If she rented a place with poor security to save money, it would be cheaper. In the nearby city, for 2000 yuan a month, most residences were two-bedroom, one-living room apartments with some renovation.

But she, who had no strength to even tie a chicken, could be subdued by 80% of adult men in the country. Wouldn't she be jumping from the frying pan into the fire?

If such a situation really occurred, it would be better to just stay with those beasts in the dormitory...

Su Qi shook her head and continued looking. Just then, a woman in a white sports outfit jogged towards Su Qi.

With every movement she made, the waves on her chest swayed with inertia. Su Qi's gaze was involuntarily drawn to those large fruits.

Wang Yun, who had intended to see who was looking at the rental information, as her apartment was also available for rent, didn't expect the person's gaze to be fixed directly on her "fruits."

Although they attracted attention to varying degrees in daily life, being stared at so openly was a first for her. She decided to teach this little brat a lesson.

So young, and already so improper.

However, as I got closer, I realized this person was actually a young girl?

But why was her hair so short? Was the current trend a tomboy style? It didn't seem like it. Tomboy types usually give off a more confident vibe. This person in front of me, however, looked a bit vacant. Why didn't I have that?

Upon closer inspection, she really did. What a pitiable girl.

"Are you looking to rent a place?" Wang Yun asked gently.

Hearing her words, Su Qi snapped back to reality, her gaze shifting away from the large... fruit. Being so close, Su Qi could vaguely make out a delicate, snow-white neck and collarbones sculpted like white jade.

She then took in Wang Yun, the one speaking. Although she had recognized her as a beauty at first glance.

But observing her from such close proximity offered a new experience.

Her hair was tied in a single ponytail, making her look quite capable. Her skin was fair, and due to just having exercised, her cheeks had a slight blush, and fine, dewy sweat had beaded on her skin, making her appear even more vibrant.

Her eyes were narrow and long, with long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. Coupled with the gentle aura she exuded, it made one instinctively think of a friendly older sister.

Without thinking, I wanted to get closer. "N-no, excuse me!" Su Qi apologized to Wang Yun first, after all, she had been staring at her like a pervert for quite some time.

However, she regretted it as soon as she spoke. She had forgotten again that her voice had changed.

Immediately, she pressed a hand to her throat and said, "Yes, I'm looking to rent a place."

The moment before, Wang Yun had been thinking how nice that girl's voice was. The very next second, she saw Su Qi speaking while pinching her throat.

What was she doing?

Regarding this peculiar maneuver, Wang Yun thought, University students nowadays are truly strange!!
