Chapter 1000: New Roommate
Chapter 1000: New Roommate
To ease the awkwardness, Lin Weiwei asked Tang Ruixuan, "Which dormitory building are you in? My mom just went to ask for me, and I'm in Room 302, Building 9, Meiyuan."
Tang Ruixuan replied truthfully, "I haven't received the key yet, so I don't know."
At this moment, Tong Hua said from the side, "The girls in our college are usually assigned to the Plum Garden, so you shouldn't be too far away."
Lin Weiwei's eyes lit up: "Then maybe we could even be roommates! By the way, what score did you get on the college entrance exam? In Jiangsu, the total score is 480, and I got 407, barely making the cutoff, haha!"
Before Tang Ruixuan could answer, it was her turn to pay the fee, and Tong Hua urged her on again.
Tang Ruixuan had no choice but to pay the fees first. The payment process went smoothly, as the money had already been deposited into the school's designated account. Tang Ruixuan provided the staff with the transfer receipt.
However, the campus card needed to be topped up, and Tang Ruixuan topped up the card with two thousand yuan.
After confirming her identity, the staff member said to her, "Tang Ruixuan, Meiyuan Dormitory 9, Room 301, here is your dormitory key and campus card. The initial password for your campus card is the last six digits of your ID card. Don't forget to change it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Weiwei immediately cheered, "301! That's great, we're neighbors right across the hall!"
Lin's mother also smiled and said, "This is truly fate."
After receiving the supplies from another location, Tong Hua helped carry them and led Tang Ruixuan toward the dormitory.
Lin Weiwei and her mother also traveled together. Lin Weiwei talked a lot along the way, from high school to her aspirations for university life. Tang Ruixuan listened patiently, listening more and saying less.
When we arrived at dormitory building No. 9 in Meiyuan, there were already many new students and their parents carrying their luggage inside.
This is an old six-story building. The original blue exterior walls are covered with ivy, giving it a strong sense of history.
Lin's mother frowned upon seeing the dormitory: "The dormitory conditions at Jin University are really terrible!"
Tong Hua quickly chimed in with a laugh, "This dormitory is a bit old, but the location is great! It's close to the teaching building and the cafeteria, and it's also close to the bathroom, making it especially convenient for girls to shower."
Lin's mother frowned even more deeply: "What? There's no shower room in the dormitory? I've seen other university dormitories have four people per room, with a bathroom and 24-hour hot water."
Tang Ruixuan went directly to the dormitory manager's office on the first floor to register her check-in information with the dormitory manager.
The dormitory supervisor, who was probably in her fifties, looked at the check-in form Tang Ruixuan handed over and said, "Room 301, right? Turn right when you get to the third floor. Male parents aren't allowed in the girls' dormitory, and the same goes for this male student. Just drop him off here."
Tong Hua could only helplessly hand the things in his hand to Tang Ruixuan: "That's settled then, Tang Ruixuan. My task is complete. If you have any questions, you can contact me anytime." After saying that, he rummaged through his pockets and quickly found a pen.
He then pleaded with the dormitory supervisor, "Auntie, could you give me a piece of paper?"
The dormitory supervisor looked at Tang Ruixuan and then at Tong Hua, and finally gave Tong Hua a note. She had seen this scene countless times every year. These kids!
However, she reminded herself that with such a beautiful girl coming to dormitory building number 9, there would be many more stories to tell, and who knew how many boys she would attract.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Tong Hua said, quickly writing her phone number on a piece of paper and handing it to Tang Ruixuan.
"This is my phone number."
"Thank you, Senior Tong!" Tang Ruixuan quickly took the note with the phone number on it and thanked him politely.
Lin Weiwei then carried her suitcase and followed Tang Ruixuan upstairs, with Lin's mother also helping her daughter carry some of the luggage and following behind.
The stairs and the floor are made of terrazzo, and although they are old, they are still smooth.
The third floor wasn't high, but it was still quite a challenge for Lin Weiwei. Her suitcase was so big that her face turned red from the effort, and she was already panting heavily when she reached the second floor.
Tang Ruixuan walked briskly, carrying a backpack on her back, her small suitcase in one hand, and supplies distributed by the school in the other.
Upon reaching the third floor, the three of them searched for their respective dormitories. Lin Weiwei asked curiously, "Why did you bring so little luggage?"
Tang Ruixuan replied casually, "Oh, I only brought some daily necessities. I sent the rest of my luggage by courier. The courier will deliver it downstairs in a bit, and I can pick it up there."
"Oh! You can't believe it! Mom, look at you, you have a courier company, why did you have to bring it all yourself? It's exhausting." Hearing this, Lin Weiwei couldn't help but complain to her mother.
Lin's mother said angrily, "It's better to keep it yourself. It would be a problem if you lost it. You! You complain so much when I ask you to do even the smallest thing. Hurry up and find your dorm room."
The door to room 301 was open, and a girl inside was making her bed. Hearing a noise at the door, she turned around and looked towards the doorway.
The door to room 301 was open, and a girl inside was making her bed. Hearing a noise at the door, she turned around and looked towards the doorway.
This girl has short hair, is wearing a sports vest and shorts, and looks quite energetic. Her skin is not the fair skin of a typical girl, but rather a wheat-colored skin.
Upon seeing Tang Ruixuan, she took the initiative to greet her: "New roommate?"
Tang Ruixuan nodded and smiled, "Hello, my name is Tang Ruixuan, I'm from Shanghai."
"My name is Chen Yue, I'm from Qi Island," the girl named Chen Yue replied.
"My name is Lin Weiwei, I'm from Suzhou, and I live in apartment 302 across from yours. We should visit each other often." Lin Weiwei walked into apartment 301 with an air of familiarity, looking around.
This is a standard four-person room with bunk beds and desks underneath. It has a private balcony, but no private bathroom.
The two beds near the balcony were already occupied. Chen Yue's bed was on the left side of the room, and there was some luggage under the bed on the right side, but no one was there.
Tang Ruixuan's bed and Chen Yue's bed were both on the left side of the room, and she immediately began to pack her luggage.
After looking around, Lin Weiwei left to pack her luggage. Her mother was making her bed.
Not long after Lin Weiwei left, a petite girl walked in. When she saw that there was another person in the dormitory, she smiled shyly.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Xiaoyu, I'm from here."
After the three introduced themselves to each other, Tang Ruixuan repacked her luggage.
Her luggage was indeed quite simple: a few changes of clothes, toiletries, a laptop, and some books.
But Chen Yue, who was closest to her, noticed that Tang Ruixuan's clothes were of excellent quality and that her laptop was the latest high-end model.
"Tang Ruixuan, your laptop has really high specs! Mine looks so ordinary compared to yours." Chen Yue's words were tinged with envy.
Tang Ruixuan smiled calmly: "My parents bought it, I don't know the model or anything." She didn't explain further.
But Chen Yue glanced at her again. As a student with a special talent in sports, Chen Yue had met many classmates from wealthy families, so she could sense that her roommate Tang Ruixuan seemed to be extraordinary, especially her calm and composed demeanor.
