Human-Dragon Unity: Alright, then I'm relieved.
Human-Dragon Unity: I still trust the president when she speaks. At least she has way more integrity than Xiaohuo.
A Seductress: ?
A Seductress: Didn't expect it, did you? I'm already on the way too.
Don't Play Holy Slash: ? Didn't you say you weren't coming until tomorrow?
A Seductress: Plans changed. I decided to get to school this afternoon.
Human-Dragon Unity: That's not necessary.
Don't Play Holy Slash: It's fine, I'll hold her down for you.
Human-Dragon Unity: President!
Don't Play Holy Slash: At least then you can hit her to vent.
Human-Dragon Unity: ?
PS: The other chapter involves the need to invent a new campus to avoid risks, so it'll be a little later. I'm wrapping it up.
I'm Here, Where Are You?
H City was best known for its tourism industry and high-tech sector.
Speaking of tourism, Mirror Lake Scenic Area had to be mentioned.
Some people might not immediately understand the name Mirror Lake, but if you mentioned that Thunderclap Tower here once had Snivy's love story, probably no one would fail to get it.
As for the high-tech sector, the most famous thing was probably that one person who didn't care about money. Those who knew, knew.
It had been rather late by the time they arrived in H City last night, so the two of them found a nearby hotel and booked separate rooms.
Early the next morning, they simply decided to take a taxi straight to the university.
As H City's most famous school, even though H University's new campus had only been built on Dawn Mountain in recent years, the driver knew its location as soon as he heard the name.
"Are you both going to H University?"
"Yes."
"Are you both students at H University?" the middle-aged driver asked in surprise.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, it's just that in all these years, this is the first time I've seen a couple get accepted into H University together."
The driver shook his head and said with some emotion, "H University is such a famous school. You can imagine how hard it is to get in. It couldn't have been easy for you two to make it in together."
"Looks like whether puppy love affects studying depends on the person."
"Although we aren't a couple, just friends." Mo Xiangwen shook his head. "But puppy love definitely affects studying. Please make sure your child doesn't date too early."
The driver glanced at the two young people sitting together in the backseat through the rearview mirror, clearly not believing his nonsense. "I understand. Male friend, female friend. You two just sit tight."
Mo Xiangwen glanced at Yan Nuoya beside him. Seeing that she had no reaction, he could not be bothered explaining any further.
The car drove on, crossing the famous Qian River Bridge. Looking at the familiar river scenery, he felt somewhat sentimental.
Although he had come here before because of work, he had only ever passed through in a hurry. How could he have had the mood to admire the scenery then?
Now that he had returned as a student, he naturally felt much more relaxed.
Past Qian River Bridge was the High-Tech District.
Not only was the headquarters of a certain famous company located here, but so was a company that specialized in producing trash systems for transmigrators.
However, this was not their destination. Only after passing through the High-Tech District did they reach Dawn Mountain District.
Dawn Mountain District had originally been the most remote district in H City. Having the university's new campus here caused students many inconveniences, but because of land prices and some mysterious irresistible force, this location had still been chosen.
However, in order to take care of the students' daily lives, this campus's commercial street was also the most developed among all the campuses.
After arriving at the university entrance, they showed their admission notices to get past the security guard and transferred to an on-campus sightseeing shuttle.
"Freshmen?"
"Yes."
After waiting a little while longer, quite a few people gradually got on the shuttle, and the driver asked everyone the same question.
After asking around, it turned out that nearly everyone onboard was a freshman.
Seeing that the seats were mostly filled, the driver started the shuttle and headed into the campus.
When they reached the place known on campus as the Small Plaza, they saw tents from all the different schools almost forming a circle around it the moment they got off.
Mo Xiangwen craned his neck and looked around for quite a while. Only after confirming that nobody in the plaza was holding up a sign to murder him did he boldly begin searching for the School of Information Technology's tent.
There were many people in the Small Plaza. Besides freshmen, plenty of upperclassmen were volunteering there, handling registration and giving directions to the new students.
Just as he was squinting and looking around, sharp-eyed Yan Nuoya spotted it first.
"Over there." Yan Nuoya tugged on the corner of his clothes and pointed in a direction. With her reminder, Mo Xiangwen immediately found the School of Information Technology's tent.
The School of Information Technology was not an unpopular school to begin with, and it happened to be right next to the extremely popular School of Literature, making this area exceptionally crowded.
It had to be said that with the School of Information Technology and the School of Literature tents placed together, the gender ratios on either side were remarkably obvious.
One side was almost entirely male, while the other was primarily female.
As a result, when he and Yan Nuoya joined the line together, they drew astonished looks from quite a few of the guys.
A girl like Yan Nuoya, with top-tier looks and a great figure, would be the center of attention no matter which school she was placed in.
In a place like the School of Information Technology, where they could barely even find a few upperclasswomen to help register freshmen, she stood out like a crane among chickens.
But whenever someone looked toward Yan Nuoya, she would edge a little closer to him. In the end, she simply grabbed his arm and pretended to be very intimate with him.
Mo Xiangwen did not mind. He had never planned on dating anyway.
Yan Nuoya had gone from a chance encounter to being half a friend by now, so helping her play the role of a shield was no big deal.
Seeing this, everyone guessed that she was probably accompanying her boyfriend to register. They could only give up and withdraw their gazes, though they did not forget to glare at him resentfully.
"Take out your admission notice." The upperclassman sitting in the tent spoke expressionlessly.
Mo Xiangwen had already prepared his admission notice in his hand, so he directly pulled out the documents inside and handed them to the upperclassman.
The upperclassman looked at the notice, then looked at him.
"Computer Science. Yan Nuoya, your name is Yan Nuoya? That name is... pretty unusual."
Yan Nuoya? How could it be hers? Almost instantly, he remembered comparing his admission notice with Yan Nuoya's back then. The two notices had been nearly identical in the first place, so it was perfectly reasonable that he had mixed them up when returning hers.
"No, Yan Nuoya is her." Mo Xiangwen hurriedly stepped aside and pulled her forward. "This admission notice belongs to her."
The moment he said that, everyone, including the upperclassman handling registration, was stunned.
A girl was entering the School of Information Technology? And Computer Science too?
Everyone looked in disbelief at Yan Nuoya, whom he had pulled forward. Damn, and she was a campus-belle-level beauty? Was this for real?
Yan Nuoya frowned and placed the other admission notice on the table.
With an indifferent expression, she said, "Sorry, that notice is mine. He took the wrong one."
Damn it.
At that instant, Mo Xiangwen seemed to hear everyone's inner thoughts. Countless jealous gazes converged on him.
"Even if you two are close, you should still hold your own admission notices."
After a long while, the upperclassman, who somehow felt as if he had suffered ten thousand points of critical damage, let out a heavy breath and completed the procedures for both of them.
As soon as registration was complete, Yan Nuoya impatiently pulled him out of the crowd.
The moment he turned around, he clearly saw a wooden sign casually placed beneath the neighboring School of Literature tent, and cold sweat broke out all over him.
No, it couldn't be, right? It was perfectly normal for a freshman registration area to have a few information signs. It did not necessarily mean that Xiaohuo, that bastard, was trying to murder him.
After walking out of the crowd, he hesitated for a moment before sending a message in the group chat.
Human-Dragon Unity: I'm here. Where are you?
PS: I thought about this part for a long time and ultimately decided to invent a campus. As for the inspiration, everyone can probably tell what it is. But I still hope nobody directly matches it to reality, because it is fictional, and many things have definitely been altered and adapted.
Twins
A Seductress: Where are you, where are you? What are you wearing?
Human-Dragon Unity: You tell me where you are first.
A Seductress: ? Where's the trust between people?
Human-Dragon Unity: What trust between people? All I see is your shameless betrayal of our friendship.
A Seductress: Damn it, why do all the School of Information Technology students look like shut-ins? Oh, no, there was one stinking normie just now.
Human-Dragon Unity: ? Say that again?
A Seductress: It's fine. If I weren't a shut-in, someone would object when I insulted them.
A Seductress: Since I am a shut-in, I can insult them however I want.
Human-Dragon Unity: Then I salute you as a real man.
Don't Play Holy Slash: I'm dying, why not just forget it?
Human-Dragon Unity: I think we should forget it too. If you stop now, we can still be good friends.
A Seductress: You've definitely written it down in your little notebook already. Stopping now would be a loss.
Human-Dragon Unity: You're judging a gentleman's heart with a petty mind. Stop now, and all grudges between us will be written off.
A Seductress: Pah. Not even Baibai would believe that.
Baibai: ?
Baibai: I believe it.
Flaked Out: I can't.
Don't Play Holy Slash: I can't.
A Seductress: ? But I already made the wooden sign. Wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?
Human-Dragon Unity: It won't be wasted. I've already seen it. It's under the School of Literature tent, right?
He had seen the sign, though not the words on it, but that did not stop him from trying to bluff her.
Don't Play Holy Slash: When did you see it?
A Seductress: It's all because of your terrible idea. You said whichever shut-in we saw would be him. Now look, they're all shut-ins. We can't recognize him at all.
Don't Play Holy Slash: Isn't that pretty good, though?
Human-Dragon Unity: Sigh, the group members treat you sincerely, but you play mind games with them.
A Seductress: Doesn't that sound a little familiar?
Human-Dragon Unity: Well, anyway, now I know, so there's nothing you can do, right?
A Seductress: Guh.
"Mengyao, why not just forget it?" Su Mengli looked at her dejected little sister with a helpless smile. "You could have simply told Xiao Yi that you didn't make a wooden sign. Why did you insist on making me cooperate with your act?"
"I just wanted to tease him." Su Mengyao pouted and complained, "Who knew he'd be such a coward?"
Su Mengli sighed. "Not just him. With that kind of joke, who wouldn't be scared?"
"Big Sis, which one down there do you think is Xiao Yi?"
"I don't know. He didn't say what he was wearing today." Su Mengli shook her head. "Without any identifying information, it's too hard to find him among all the freshmen."
On the commercial street directly opposite the Small Plaza was a milk tea shop called First-Grade Tea that was very popular among students.
Interestingly, although it was a milk tea shop, the students all came there for freshly squeezed fruit juice.
The reason was simple. The difference between better tea and worse tea was not that great, and once it was made into milk tea, it became even harder to taste any distinction.
