Chapter 84 New Student Registration

"Yuanyuan, today is the last day for freshmen registration, why hasn't Erjiao arrived yet?"

"Maybe she's already registered, we just don't know."

"Didn't you find out she's from the Foreign Languages ​​Department? I just checked, Erjiao's name isn't there. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Another roommate, who was admiring herself in the mirror, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Lulu, you're really bewitched! You never used to be a fan."

Liu Lu cupped her face in her hands and said, "I'm definitely bewitched by my Erjiao, sob sob... I haven't seen any news about her for a week, I'm so sad!"

Her roommate rolled her eyes, thinking this girl was hopeless, and turned to Zheng Yuan: "Just one summer vacation, and you've gone fangirling with Lulu too?" Everyone knew Zheng Yuan was a tech geek, and a very rational, academically gifted one at that.

"I'm not a fan," Zheng Yuan calmly continued under her roommate's reassuring gaze, "I just like Erjiao."

Hopeless!!! Her roommate turned back to looking in the mirror.

"No, I have to go to the Foreign Languages ​​Institute to keep watch." Liu Lu ran out excitedly.

"She's crazy! It's so hot outside, why doesn't she stay in her dorm and go outside? She's insane!" Her roommate shook her head and sighed.

Zheng Yuan took out her laptop and started typing away. Suddenly, the phone rang. She picked up the phone with her left hand, glanced at the caller ID, and answered, her eyes still on the computer screen. "Senior, is something wrong?"

"I remember you don't have class this afternoon, let's go see a movie!" A gentle male voice came from the phone.

"I can't today, I have something to do." Zheng Yuan tucked the phone under her shoulder and started typing on the keyboard, searching for Xu Jiaojiao's latest information online.

Hearing the keyboard clicks,

Zheng Yuan paused, her eyes brightening, and said, "Senior, I really need your help."

Meanwhile, Liu Lu, braving the scorching sun to go to the Foreign Languages ​​Institute, first checked the registration list. Seeing that Er Jiao hadn't arrived to sign in yet, she found a shady spot near the registration area with the best view and waited there. After pointing out directions to several new students who asked for help, she received a call from Zheng Yuan.

"Lulu, I found Er Jiao's flight. That plane arrived at the airport an hour ago. Er Jiao should be arriving soon."

Zheng Yuan's voice was like a cool breeze in summer, instantly energizing Liu Lu. She felt full of energy and didn't even notice the heat outside. She eagerly looked towards the route the new students had to take to register.

Oh my god, she'd see Er Jiao again soon! So exciting!

She stood there, practically a statue, but still no one appeared. Liu Lu felt uneasy, wondering if she had missed her in the blink of an eye. "No way, why hasn't she arrived yet? Could she already be here?" Liu Lu paced back and forth, her expression growing anxious.

Waiting for someone always feels like an eternity. Just

as Liu Lu was about to go back to the registration desk to check the list again, Zheng Yuan called just in time. Zheng Yuan told her on the phone that someone had seen Er Jiao at the school gate and even posted photos on WeChat Moments and Weibo. Liu Lu perked up as if injected with fresh adrenaline. Before she could even hang up, she saw a figure slowly walking towards her in the distance.

Those long legs!

That model's figure!

That unique aura!

Even from a distance, even with the person wearing a baseball cap and large black-rimmed glasses obscuring their face, she could spot it at a glance—it was undoubtedly Er Jiao!

"Jiao jiao jiao jiao jiao jiao—" Liu Lu rushed over impatiently, startling several people walking towards her. She grabbed the suitcase from the person, her face beaming with joy. "Erjiao!"

The suitcase was snatched from her hands. Sheng Jiaoyang was stunned for a moment, then turned to see a smiling face. With her extraordinary memory, she naturally remembered this person; after all, she was the first person to buy her painting. "Liu Lu."

"Erjiao, you still remember me?! I'm so happy!" Liu Lu's eyes crinkled with laughter.

Sheng Jiaoyang smiled involuntarily.

Oh~ Liu Lu clutched her heart. Seeing Erjiao's smile so close was truly… She felt like she was about to embark on a path of no return…

"Did you wait here specifically for me?" Sheng Jiaoyang continued walking forward.

"Hehe, yes!" Liu Lu pushed her suitcase beside her.

"We're alumni now! Erjiao, do you have Weibo? I haven't seen any updates from you lately except on Supermodel, I miss you so much. Why did you suddenly go abroad? Was it to avoid the rumors with Gu Zhou? I don't think it's necessary. If you two are boyfriend and girlfriend, everyone will support you. If you're just friends, the truth will come out eventually..."

Hearing the chatter around her, Sheng Jiaoyang wasn't impatient. Just before they reached the registration area, she interrupted, asking, "Why do you call me Erjiao?"

Liu Lu blinked, a little guilty and nervous. She had given Erjiao a nickname without permission; would Erjiao be angry? Thinking this, she quickly said, "Because your name has two 'jiao' characters, I just call you Erjiao for short. It really doesn't mean anything by it, I just think it's more affectionate to call you that."

Sheng Jiaoyang nodded and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the other party didn't mind, Liu Lu grinned. At the registration area, Liu Lu, who had already found out Erjiao's department and class, directly led her to the corresponding place to sign in.

"You look so familiar!" The girl sitting behind the table stared at Sheng Jiaoyang.

Another girl sitting next to her, playing on her phone, looked up and jumped up when she saw Sheng Jiaoyang. "It really is you! I thought it was just someone with the same name! Hello Xu Jiaojiao, can I take a picture with you?"

"There's no need for that, I'm not a celebrity."

The girl behind the table belatedly exclaimed, "Ah, I know, you're Gu Zhou's rumored girlfriend!"

People nearby heard her gasp, which she hadn't bothered to suppress, and all looked over. Some had already raised their phones to take pictures.

After signing her name, Sheng Jiaoyang asked, "Where do I complete the enrollment procedures?"

"I'll take you there. I've already figured it out for you beforehand!" Liu Lu quickly volunteered.

Because of her two trending topics due to her scandal with Gu Zhou, Sheng Jiaoyang was already a well-known figure. Only she, with her usual carefree attitude, lacked the awareness of being a celebrity. Her height and temperament were undeniable; even in a simple white chiffon blouse and jeans, she stood out. Nowadays, few young people don't go online and follow entertainment news, so quite a few people recognized her. Fortunately, she was naturally oblivious to some things, and she didn't panic despite the crowd. Although

Liu Lu said she would take her to complete the procedures, in reality, Liu Lu was the one running around doing all the running errands.

“Erjiao, all the two-person dorms in the school have been allocated to graduate students. I applied for a four-person dorm for you, but the school expanded its enrollment this year, and there are many new students. You came too late, and the four-person dorms allocated to your department are already full. This is a mixed dorm, just like ours,” said Liu Lu, who was always attentive to Sheng Jiaoyang.

After helping Sheng Jiaoyang complete the formalities, Liu Lu led the way to the girls' dormitory building where the mixed dorm was located, surrounded by many onlookers.
