When the train arrived at the terminal station Jiangcheng, it was nearly midnight, and it was drizzling in Jiangcheng at this time.

Zhong Shan stepped off the train with his suitcase and walked out of the platform, carrying his schoolbag cross-body, an acoustic guitar hanging from his chest, and his hair was a little messy, like a wandering singer.

After more than 30 hours of train sitting, he looked very tired. Follow the instructions on the admission letter and find the pick-up point with the sign "Jiangcheng University". A female classmate with glasses greeted her warmly and asked, "It's Jiangcheng University, right?" Zhong Shan nodded.

"Which major?"

"Journalism."

"Oh, junior brother! I'm your senior sister He He from the last session, let's get to know it! ”

Facing the right hand stretched out by the senior sister, Zhong Shan put down the suitcase in his hand in a panic, greeted it, and shook it gently.

"Wait a little longer, the car is full, let's go!" He He's words and deeds are capable.

After waiting for two more trains to enter the station, there were already more than a dozen students who had registered, He He waved his hand, and the group followed her and got on a white minibus parked by the station square.

In the rain, the lights of Jiangcheng are bright at night, and in the middle of the night, there are few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and colorful neon lights are cast on the waterlogged road, giving people a dreamlike feeling. It just so happened that Clock Mountain was also tired, sitting in the car, half-asleep, looking at the scenery outside the car window was hazy and beautiful.

When Zhong Shan woke up by the inertia of the brakes, the car had already driven into the dormitory area of Jiangcheng University. According to the instructions in the admission letter, under the guidance of his senior sister He He, he found his own room 405 in the five houses.

The fluorescent lights in room 405 were still on, and three roommates had already arrived before him, two were already asleep, and the other was busy taking care of the bed. Seeing Zhong Shan coming in, he hurriedly whispered, "Room friend, my name is Deng Jiaguo, and I'm from Jiujiang." ”

Zhong Shan said, "Hello, my name is Zhong Shan and I am from Qingshan City. ”

Deng was surprised and said, "Are you related to Jiang Cheng in your previous life?" There is a famous mountain in Jiangcheng called Zhongshan. ”

Zhong Shan smiled, "There are really coincidental things in the world. ”

Deng arrived that morning, and the situation of the school, department and dormitory had been basically figured out. He said that their current class of Chinese Department has two classes in Chinese language and literature and journalism, and their group of journalism students is the first batch of students enrolled by Jiangcheng University after the resumption of the college entrance examination, with a total of 25 students, from nine provinces across the country, 13 male students and 12 female students, almost half each. Their counselor this year, Wan Damin, is a recent graduate of the Chinese Department of Jiangcheng University, and Deng Jiaguo is a native of Jiangxi, and according to Zhong Shan's age, he is only two years older than him. There are 7 people in their dormitory, from five provinces, the oldest is Zhongshan, and the youngest is Xu Jianshe from Guangdong. Deng also said that now that there is a scarcity of journalism professionals in the country, there should be no problem in assigning them to work in the central news media after graduation.

Listening to what classmate Deng said, Zhong Shan felt a little ashamed. At the beginning, he was just a journalism major at Jiangcheng University on impulse, and he just wanted to be farther away from Qingshan and away from his parents, and he had the opportunity to find his biological parents in his mind, so he didn't do these homework beforehand. Another thing that feels a little inferior is that because he abandoned his studies for two years and delayed two college entrance examinations, he became the boss in the dormitory. All this was only in his mind, and his immediate priority was sleepiness. Classmate Deng also found that Zhongshan was in a sluggish state, and hurriedly said that he would not talk to you, you should hurry up and rest, and it will be dawn in a while.

Zhong Shan's luggage could only be transported the next day, and Deng lent his mattress to Zhong Shan, saying that he should take a nap first, he must be tired along the way. Zhong Shan thanked him, found the lower bunk by the window marked with his name, spread the mattress borrowed from classmate Deng on the wooden bed, went to the water room to wash his face with cold water, washed his feet, and fell asleep.
