Chapter 130

On the way, the car ventured further into remote areas.

From having buildings on both sides to tree-lined surroundings and then to mountains.

Xiao Qi began to feel inexplicably nervous, wondering if she had encountered a bad person.

She assessed her school bag, which contained books and was quite heavy. With her strength equivalent to that of a strong human, she believed she could overpower an ordinary person. She glanced at the young man driving the car, whose arms gripping the steering wheel lacked strong muscles. He was thin and tall, and she felt confident that she could handle him. Nevertheless, Xiao Qi still felt a bit anxious. She realized that although she had physical strength, she wasn't skilled in fighting. If something happened, she might still end up at a disadvantage. When she got to university, she planned to look for taekwondo, boxing, or martial arts training classes to gain some systematic training.

Li Qishi hadn't realized that the young girl beside him had mentally beaten him up.

As the car approached a sharp bend, he dutifully explained, "The performance of a BMW is excellent. When an ordinary car encounters such a sharp turn, you might feel a bit uncomfortable, and your body may even sway. But a BMW handles turns smoothly, and you won't feel a thing. It's really enjoyable to drive."

"Are we almost there?" Xiao Qi asked.

"We're almost there. Once we pass this bend, we'll reach Luoxi Town. There's a bridge in the center of Luoxi Town, and after crossing that bridge, we'll arrive at Enhua University."

Xiao Qi fell silent. True to his words, after the bend, they were surrounded by mountains, and she caught sight of a lake ahead. Her heart eased a bit because Enhua University was situated on a campus enclosed by a lake. Indeed, after a while, she saw rows of red buildings on the other side of the lake, neat and beautiful. It didn't resemble a modern metropolis, but it wasn't like a small town either. It had a sense of order and must be the university.

However, when the car passed through a gate, she noticed it said Enhua University Affiliated High School.

Xiao Qi realized that this wasn't the university yet, just the affiliated high school. But even the high school seemed quite large.

After driving for a while longer, they finally reached the bridge.

Spanning across the lake.

On the opposite side stood a majestic building with stairs ascending layer by layer.

Beside the lake on the other side was a huge square, resembling a stage.

Under the bright sunshine, the glittering emblem of Enhua University was visible even from across the bridge, truly eye-catching.

"This is it." Li Qishi dropped Xiao Qi off at the school gate, noticing many banners welcoming new students.

Thinking that this young girl was actually a freshman, he found it rather intriguing. She must come from a wealthy background to buy a car before enrolling. Tsk tsk, she was probably from an affluent family. Recalling that he had saved Xiao Qi's WeChat account, Li Qishi couldn't help but feel a sense of delight.

However, they had just met today, and he didn't want to act rashly, so he drove back.

On the way back, while waiting at a red light, he opened Xiao Qi's WeChat Moments and casually skimmed through it.

He noticed that she didn't post much, but...

When he saw the photo on the swimming champion's Moments, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Indeed, wealthy people excel in all aspects—morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty, and labor skills.

Xiao Qi had no idea that BMW salespeople could be so thoughtful. She added them on WeChat simply because she thought buying a car was a big deal, and since she didn't understand much about cars, she figured she could ask them for help if any issues arose.

But now she had no time to worry about the salesperson. She was the kind of person who couldn't hold onto one thing for long. Finally, she had spent all the money, and it felt like completing a task, giving her a sense of relief.

Because there were no more flashing messages on the screen, those four characters had disappeared.

She arrived at the school in a BMW, which wasn't particularly novel, but it was somewhat special. After all, most people came by bus and got off at the bridge, dragging their luggage along.

Some people came in private cars.

Now Xiao Qi belonged to that group.

When she saw the young man who had brought her, opening the car door and taking her luggage, he looked very respectful and eager to please. He didn't seem like a family member; rather, he seemed like a driver or something.

Despite being young, university students knew a lot more than they appeared to.

As Xiao Qi got out of the car and stared dumbfounded at the massive sign at the entrance of the university, several senior students came towards her.

"Are you a new student this year? What major are you in? We're from the university's welcoming team, and we'll take you to register," said a girl who spoke rapidly with a loud voice.

Several male students were left behind.

Xiao Qi noticed that they were wearing red sashes diagonally across their bodies, like greeters at a restaurant. The sashes clearly read "Welcome to Enhua University, New Students."

She nodded.

"I'm majoring in Information Management. Where do I need to go to register?" Xiao Qi asked the girl who spoke first.

"Information Management belongs to the Computer Science Department. Follow me, I'll take you there. I'm majoring in English, and our majors are close to each other. I'm a sophomore this year, you can call me 'senior sister,'" she replied.

A guy chimed in, "Junior sister, junior sister, I'm from the Computer Science Department too. We're in the same department. I'll take you there." It was a tall and skinny guy, literally tall and skinny, with his head always lowered when he spoke, looking like a bamboo pole.

Xiao Qi found their lively and enthusiastic arguing quite different from the warmth of the aunties and uncles in her village. It made her very happy.

For some reason, just standing here made her happy. Seeing so many young people her age, she felt good. It truly felt good.

While they were arguing about who would take Xiao Qi to register, more new students arrived. They got off a bus, and new students with their luggage started walking over the bridge one by one.

Several senior students, especially the senior sister, quickly grabbed Xiao Qi's suitcase and left.

The school's roads were paved with cement, and although Xiao Qi's suitcase was heavy, she managed to pull it along just fine.

The tall and skinny senior brother from the Computer Science Department followed them.

The other senior students went to greet other new students.

Xiao Qi went to register with them, handed in her admission letter, paid the fees, and received her bedding and dormitory access card.

She was assigned to Class 1 of the Information Management major. The teaching building was in the Zhulin Building, and her dormitory was in Room 606 of the Hua Shan Building.

It was only then that Xiao Qi learned that the school's dormitory buildings had unique names, all named after different places.

The academic building was quite interesting and had a cultural vibe.

"Let's take you to the dormitory first."

As soon as Xiao Qi saw the dormitory building, she understood why her senior sister and a senior brother accompanied her to register.

It was because there was no elevator in the dormitory, and her room was assigned on the 6th floor, a total of 6 floors.

Xiao Qi's suitcase was already heavy with many books, and adding a computer made it even heavier. On top of that, there was a bedding...

Seeing the senior brother struggling and veins popping on his face while carrying her suitcase up three flights of stairs, Xiao Qi felt embarrassed.

"Senior brother, I can handle it myself. I'm strong enough." She took her suitcase and briskly climbed up, finding it quite effortless.

Senior sister and senior brother, empty-handed: ...

Xiao Qi effortlessly carried her suitcase to the 6th floor. When she reached the door of her dormitory, she had a key card. The school dormitory was quite advanced, as it had card access.

When she arrived, the door was open, and someone was already inside. Xiao Qi thanked the senior sister and senior brother and went in with her luggage.

The dormitory was a four-person room with a wall dividing the two bunk beds. The beds were on top, and there were desks underneath. There were lockers on the wall with locks. The dormitory also had a bathroom. Compared to Xiao Qi's middle school and high school dormitories, the conditions were really good.

Upon entering, one of the beds by the window was already occupied. Xiao Qi didn't make a fuss about it. Of course, the bed by the window was preferred in the dormitory. People constantly came and went by the door, and it was never quiet there. Although the girls' beds were arranged to resemble private rooms, with thick curtains hanging outside, even when tightly closed, one couldn't see what was happening inside.

Xiao Qi chose another bed by the window.

She smiled at the girl across from her, placed her backpack on the bed, and climbed up to look outside. The view outside the window was quite nice, with clusters of green trees and a few basketball courts. People were gradually arriving with their suitcases on the road. This was what it meant to have arrived at the school. Even though the bed was not yet made, Xiao Qi already felt at ease.
