09. The first day of school

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

It's been three years. Today is September 1, 2019.

The university town, located on the outskirts of Guangzhou-Zhuhai City, ushered in the noisy days of the new freshman report. The campuses are crowded with people, like carp crossing the river.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, on the seven-story dormitory building of one of the seven-story dormitories in the east area of Xiannan University of Technology, a young boy with glasses was standing on the rooftop of the top floor, staring at the quiet campus at night.

The campus environment in the night is extremely beautiful and moving. The seven-storey student residence complex is the tallest building in the area and has the best views of the world.

Most of the trees on campus are sturdy, and most of them are three or four stories high. They are near or far, with dense or sparse branches, forming a spectacular leitmotif on campus. Hidden under their shadow are some of the school's low-rise buildings and various sports fields. They make up the dotted accompaniment of the green campus.

From the height of the building, you can see a large football field, multiple basketball courts, tennis courts, and more. Although it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, the popularity of many sports fields was still undiminished, and you could vaguely see many energetic college students engaged in various competitive sports.

The little boy standing on the top floor looked down at the various crowds on the sports field, his eyes were blank and empty. His face was actually full of melancholy. On a basketball court not far away, there was a burst of energetic and enthusiastic shouting. However, when this sound wave came to the little boy's eyes, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, and it could not be sensed by him at all.

His name is Yao Yayao, and he is one of the freshmen in the Department of Civil Engineering at Xiannan University of Technology.

Generally speaking, it is common sense for new students to be enthusiastic and excited when they first arrive at university. It's just that he couldn't suppress his unhappy face. Because this is not the university he wants. The major he wanted to study was not the civil engineering major that his father suggested to him. It's just that fate made people ruthlessly put him on this sacred day in this completely strange new campus that he never thought of.

If it weren't for the messing up of the last foreign language subject in the national college entrance examination, he would definitely not appear here tonight, but there should be a high probability of appearing in the most well-known and top universities in Tianxia Kingdom, such as Qinghua University, or Bed University and the like.

He and another super outstanding girl in the same class are recognized by the whole school as the most promising pair of talented and beautiful people who can be admitted to these two prestigious schools.

In the end, the beautiful woman was successfully admitted to Qinghua University, but he unexpectedly fell off the list.

Foreign language was originally the subject he was best at, and he often got full marks in the exams, and he was one of the super T-Rex in the single subject of the No. 1 Middle School in Chaoxian City, his hometown. But in this subject, which he is best at, something happened.

If there hadn't been an accident that day, he would never have come to this school to report. It's just that how many ifs are there in life?! The reality is that "a piece of paper for life" is the current education rule in this country.

Yao Yayao suffered from heat stroke and suddenly fainted in the classroom, resulting in only half of the questions in the final foreign language test paper. Still, no one but himself will care if you have heat stroke or not. If an individual has health problems on a critical day, he can only blame his own life for not being very good.

After the incident, all the teachers at Yao Yayao's alma mater expressed their sadness and regret, and strongly suggested that he repeat his studies for one year and retake the college entrance examination next year. However, his father refused. Because, although he messed up in a foreign language subject, his comprehensive score was still just on the first line.

"Don't be superstitious about that thin diploma, which is just a piece of gilded paper. A year's time is too precious to be squandered. How you want to live your life, the dominant decision lies with you, and the external packaging is only temporary. ”

"Also, no matter what diploma you get from a prestigious university, it's still useless to come out of society. It wasn't a personal talisman with a lot of mana. It's a great time to spell out the background, and many of the public programs are superficial. Your diploma from a prestigious university is actually less important than a phone call. Yao Yayao's father personally enlightened him like this.

My father, who has been running a small grocery store all his life, has always been a very pragmatic person. Yao Yayao thought of his father's words, and his face couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Speaking of which, Yao Yayao doesn't really want to repeat a year of study. He has always been a proud person in his heart, and he always feels that he has no shame to see again, and those high school teachers who have always been optimistic that he can get excellent results in the exam. The so-called shameless Jiangdong father is probably talking about this feeling.

In the end, he accepted his father's suggestion and chose a medium-sized general university and this civil engineering major very casually according to his college entrance examination score.

Yao Yayao is not the only one on this rooftop, there are many college students who come up to enjoy the coolness. Some of the brothers brought up mats, mosquito nets, thin quilts, and even a few small tents for camping. It seems that some of the students plan to camp on the rooftop for the night tonight.

Because, the weather is so hot!

Although it was 10 o'clock in the evening, the outside temperature at this time should not be lower than 30 degrees Celsius. Presumably, the room at this time is even more stuffy. This university campus is located in the southernmost part of the country. So, even though it was early September, it was still hot.

At half past ten in the evening, after staying on the rooftop for more than an hour, Yao Yayao finally returned to the room where his dormitory was located. Room 216 of this dormitory building is Yao Yayao's student dormitory.

At this time, in room 216, there were two other college students who had just entered the school, and they were Yao Yayao's roommates. These two people, one is named Pang Zi, and they are from the Department of Food Engineering. Corresponding to his name, he happened to be an unscrupulous fat man. is almost 1.7 meters tall, but weighs at least 160 pounds. It seems that his father was too prescient and had foreseen his future from an early age.

The other one is called Huang Jie, who is from the Department of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering. His appearance is nothing special, like Yao Yayao, he is the most common thin and weak glasses man in college.

This dormitory is a small dormitory for four people, and it is for four people. However, even after dinner in the evening, the last freshman came to report.

Originally, Yao Yayao thought that just like the dormitory in high school, the people in the same dormitory should be his classmates. Unexpectedly, it is different classes and different departments. As for why students from different majors are placed in the same dormitory, this question has been explained to them by Mr. Fan Zhi, the grade counselor in the school in the afternoon.

It is said that the school deliberately arranged this in order to promote the students' social network connections.

"Learning professional skills is only part of the equation in school, but relationships are also a very important part of life. In the future, five or ten years after you graduate, you may be grateful for the special accommodation arrangement made by your alma mater. ”

"You know what? There are many corporate CEOs and executives who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to study for an MBA degree. All they care about is their classmates' connections, and their homework is secondary. Everyone's success is inseparable from the assistance of network resources. You'll understand. ”

When their grade counselor, a teacher surnamed Fan, explained this to them in the afternoon, all three of them seemed to understand. However, it was not difficult for people from different majors to live in the same dormitory, so no one protested against it.

Yao Yayao, who returned to the dormitory, soon noticed something unusual in the dormitory.

The last blank bed, the lower bunk seat of his own, has been hung with a white mosquito net. On the personal desk belonging to this bed, there are also some simple daily necessities, teacups, and a few books. However, there were only three people in the dormitory, and another new classmate was nowhere to be found.

Yao Yayao just wanted to ask, but Pang Zi pointed at him and said, "Yayao, the share that belongs to you is on your table." ”

So Yao Yayao found that there were some things on his desk. Large bottles of Baishi Cola and 7-Up, each with four large bottles, and a box of a certain brand of instant noodles.

"It's... Yao Yayao was surprised.

These are not his personal belongings.
