September 19, Yanjing. Sunny.
Before they knew it, it was already the third week of September.
Counting the days, it had been exactly a month since registration. Between military training, the official start of classes, and signing up for university clubs, Chen Shi'an and the two girls had gradually settled into their new university lives.
Compared to their dreary high school days, university life was definitely great. Why else would people call it "the summer vacation of life"?
Academically, even at Yanning University, where geniuses were everywhere, the two girls felt little pressure. They kept up easily in every respect and had adapted very well.
Although they no longer dominated the rankings the way they had in high school, their overall performance still put them near the top, which was already pretty good.
As for Chen Shi'an, that went without saying.
He had chosen the Philosophy Department, but whenever he had time, he also sat in on classes in the Mathematics Department, the Literature Department, and other subjects that interested him. For someone who was merely auditing a class to solve a difficult problem set by the professor at the lectern-the other students' astonishment was easy to imagine...
September would soon be over. Without monthly exams to prepare for anymore, both girls found it a little strange.
Even the long-absent two-day weekend had returned to their everyday lives.
It really was easier to go from frugality to luxury than the other way around! Looking back on high school, with only half a day off each week and endless practice questions for one exam after another, they had no idea how they had made it through.
Thanks for all your hard work, past me!
After their Friday afternoon classes ended, Chen Shi'an and the two girls cycled home together.
