Chapter 95: Roommates

Shen Sangyu and Zhou Miao were not familiar with each other. Seeing that the other party was a little excited, she hesitated for two seconds and finally nodded: “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Zhou Miao was probably afraid that Shen Sangyu would misunderstand, so she quickly waved her hand and explained, “I just didn’t expect it. I think you should be quite young.”

Shen Sangyu was 20 years old this year. She was indeed a little young, but after all, this was the first college entrance examination, and many people had even married and had children.

It was just that there were very few female classmates in the school. For example, the six people in their dormitory were actually from different majors. Shen Sangyu was the only physics student in the dormitory.

Zhou Miao was surprised to learn that Shen Sangyu actually studied physics.

“My family arranged it,” Shen Sangyu said casually and then took out the snacks from her suitcase.

Wen Qingchuan had never banned anything in terms of snacks. Even if he saw that there were no snacks at home, he would make sure to buy some.

Shen Sangyu liked to eat chocolate, so when she came to school, Wen Qingchuan bought some and stuffed them into her suitcase.

But the weather was also hot, and the chocolate felt like it was about to melt.

Shen Sangyu grabbed a few for each of them. Zhou Miao and Li Huanhuan came from ordinary families.

Chocolate was hard to buy on weekdays, and they had to have some connections to eat it only a few times a year.

On weekdays, they ate it by themselves. Who would have thought that Shen Sangyu would grab a handful for each of them?

Zhou Miao and Li Huanhuan were almost laughing so hard that their faces nearly broke. They liked Shen Sangyu even more sincerely.

Zhao Zhaodi did not come forward, and Shen Sangyu did not favor one over the other. She grabbed a handful of chocolate and handed it to Zhao Zhaodi.

“Thank you.” Zhao Zhaodi looked at the chocolate in her hand quietly without blinking. After thinking for a while, she asked, “Can I take it back to my Dabao?”

Shen Sangyu was stunned.

Zhao Zhaodi quickly explained, “I… I am also married, and my child is already three years old.”

Shen Sangyu understood, smiled, and grabbed another handful of chocolate for Zhao Zhaodi: “Okay, but the child is young, so you have to control the amount every day.”

Zhao Zhaodi nodded with emotion.

She had many brothers and sisters. Her parents finally gave birth to a younger brother. In order to find a wife, all the sisters in the family got married.

Fortunately, her husband’s family was good. Knowing that she liked to study, her husband was willing to support her schooling, and no one in the family objected.

During the preparation period, the family relied on her husband’s work, and the family’s finances were quite tight. She felt wronged that her eldest son had to suffer with her.

Seeing Zhao Zhaodi’s tears, Shen Sangyu guessed that Zhao Zhaodi’s original family was not good, but her husband should be good to her.

Shen Sangyu spoke gently and seemed to be blind to Zhao Zhaodi’s embarrassment.

Zhao Zhaodi was about to say a word of thanks when the dormitory door opened, and two women in bright and beautiful clothes walked in directly.

There was no need to guess; seeing the familiarity of the two people, it was clear they were roommates.

However, as soon as the two came back, the dormitory, which seemed a little lively, suddenly became quiet.

The two roommates naturally saw Shen Sangyu, looked her up and down, and saw that Shen Sangyu was dressed extraordinarily; their eyes lit up slightly: “Are you the last roommate?”

Shen Sangyu nodded and then took out two chocolates from a plastic bag.

“Hello, my name is Shen Sangyu.”

The two glanced at Shen Sangyu’s chocolates, which were all brands that were relatively difficult to buy on the market.

The two who were originally a little cold moved their expressions slightly and introduced their names respectively.

Shen Sangyu also learned the names of the remaining two roommates.

One was Qu Yajie and the other was Tong Qinglu.

Qu Yajie happily took Shen Sangyu’s chocolates, and seeing that the two liked them, Shen Sangyu went back to pack her things.

But she didn’t know if it was her illusion; she just felt that after the two entered the room, the other three didn’t talk much.

After she had almost finished cleaning, Qu Yajie came over and asked, “Sangyu, do you want to go to dinner together?”

Shen Sangyu nodded, but seeing the three people who were silent, she couldn’t help asking, “Are you going?”

“No, not going.”

Who knew that what she received was an unhesitating rejection.

Shen Sangyu was a little strange. Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Qu Yajie’s disdainful voice: “Sangyu, we don’t play with ordinary people; it’s a loss of face!”

The other three people in the dormitory dared not speak and could only sit on the bed with a stinky face.

Shen Sangyu reacted instantly: “Sorry, I’m also an ordinary person.”

Qu Yajie didn’t expect Shen Sangyu to say that, and Tong Qinglu on the side was also stunned.

Qu Yajie thought Shen Sangyu didn’t understand, so she had to explain: “The school’s subsidized meal tickets are only enough for them to eat a big pot of rice; we can go to order some stir-fry.”

Shen Sangyu knew that Qu Yajie and Tong Qinglu’s families should be considered wealthy. In their opinion, their status made them feel that the other three were not worthy of them.

But no matter what time it was, Shen Sangyu never thought of herself as an alien.

Moreover, if friendships were made according to such values, they would probably end up turning against each other.

Furthermore, Qu Yajie’s words made her feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that the two of them didn’t understand, Shen Sangyu said again: “I am also a ‘big pot rice,’ and I can eat big pot rice. If you want to eat stir-fried dishes, go by yourself.”

Qu Yajie and Tong Qinglu looked very bad.

“Let’s go!” Tong Qinglu turned and left unhappily.

After the two of them left angrily, the originally somewhat cold environment instantly became much warmer.

Zhou Miao stepped forward with her mouth open and couldn’t help looking Shen Sangyu up and down.

“Sangyu, don’t you want to be friends with them?” Zhou Miao thought for a long time before coming up with this sentence.

Shen Sangyu said: “It’s not that I don’t want to be friends with them, but it’s not suitable.”

“Why is it not suitable?”

Zhou Miao couldn’t figure it out.

Even though she didn’t have much experience, she could see that Shen Sangyu’s family conditions should be very good. Zhou Miao couldn’t describe such a person, but as Qu Yajie said, being with them would be a matter of losing points.

“Birds of a feather flock together. They and I have different values, so it’s not suitable to be friends. As long as we don’t make enemies, it’s fine.”

Shen Sangyu said lightly and thought of something, and suddenly asked: “Have they always been like this?”

Zhou Miao shook her head: “I don’t know; anyway, it’s like this to us.”

Zhou Miao couldn’t help but think of the day when Qu Yajie and Tong Qinglu entered the dormitory.

The two were dressed very beautifully, and their figures were much taller than theirs. Standing in the crowd, one could feel that they were glowing.

But as soon as she said hello, the other party avoided her as if they had encountered the plague.

Zhou Miao was very sad at the time and felt that her self-esteem was trampled on the ground.

Thinking of this, Zhou Miao lowered her voice: “I’m fine, but Zhao Zhaodi is even worse off.”

Zhao Zhaodi was from Province G, and her home was in the mountainous area. It was definitely not just hard work that got her admitted to Yanda. Her talent was more important.

However, due to her poor family conditions, Tong Qinglu went directly to the teacher to ask for a change of dormitory when she saw Zhao Zhaodi’s clothes full of patches.

Of course, the change of dormitory was not for Tong Qinglu to leave, but for Zhao Zhaodi to leave.

The teacher rejected this request and even scolded Tong Qinglu, which led to the two of them looking at her as if her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes these days.

Shen Sangyu couldn’t help frowning after hearing this, but in the end she didn’t say anything. Instead, she asked, “Then are we going to eat?”

“Eat! Zhaodi, let’s go together!”

Zhao Zhaodi nodded and quickly took out three cents from under her pillow, and the four of them went to the cafeteria together.

The location of the Yan University cafeteria had not changed much, but there were only stir-fries in the window besides the “big pot rice.” The “big pot rice” didn’t look bad.

Shen Sangyu bought bowls and chopsticks at the canteen, washed them, and ordered a few dishes she liked.

When she was in the staff quarters, Wen Qingchuan cooked for her in different ways. Her appetite had been spoiled over the past year.

Fortunately, the “big pot rice” in the Yanda cafeteria was not too bad. It was edible. She just missed the cowpea fried meat made by Wen Qingchuan.

Shen Sangyu ate the food in the bowl intermittently. Zhao Zhaodi next to her only ate a simple vegetarian dish and white rice. Zhou Miao and Li Huanhuan also ate very simply.

The state provided subsidies for getting into college, and the local government gave a reward.

After arriving at the school, the school also provided some meal tickets and money subsidies. It was not too much, but it should be enough to live if they saved some.

Zhao Zhaodi probably saved so much for her family, so even if Shen Sangyu knew it, she didn’t say it directly.

After dinner, Qu Yajie and Tong Qinglu had not returned yet. After returning to the dormitory, Shen Sangyu took a nap and then went to explore the campus with everyone.

After walking around, Li Huanhuan couldn’t help but wonder, “Sangyu, have you been to Yanda before? Why do I feel like you are very familiar with Yanda?”

Shen Sangyu paused and was about to speak when she heard Zhou Miao’s voice, “Sangyu is a local. She must have been here before, right?”

Shen Sangyu hummed softly, “I’ve been here before.”

Li Huanhuan felt something was strange but didn’t investigate further.

The general location of Yanda had not changed. It happened that the canteen sold popsicles, so Zhou Miao simply bought one for everyone.

There was no military training in the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, so after Shen Sangyu received the professional books in the evening, she would start formal classes the next day.

In the dormitory, Zhou Miao, Li Huanhuan, and Zhao Zhaodi were all majoring in education, while Qu Yajie and Tong Qinglu studied art, but Shen Sangyu didn’t ask much about what they were studying.

Shen Sangyu started reading the text after getting the textbook.

Zhou Miao had just finished taking a shower and saw Shen Sangyu reading the book with relish. She couldn’t help but move closer, but the equations all over the page gave her a headache.

Zhou Miao had always been a child of other people’s families. She was able to be admitted to Yan University after graduating from high school for so many years, which was enough to show her talent and hard work. But when she saw the equations that Shen Sangyu was reading, she couldn’t help but feel a headache.

“Sangyu, can you understand so many equations?”

Shen Sangyu had to admire the textbooks from decades ago. Compared with the textbooks from decades later, one was in heaven and the other was on earth.

Two words hardcore!

If it were in modern times, the first semester would at most be to learn relatively simple things, but this textbook was not the case. How could it be so hardcore?

“This textbook is well written,” Shen Sangyu commented.

She took a look and saw that the textbook was signed by Qin Duanshan.

Zhou Miao: “…”

Is this what she asked!

Zhou Miao saw Shen Sangyu turn a page, and she guessed that Shen Sangyu could definitely understand it when she saw that she was so calm.

Shen Sangyu was very low-key when she came, and she never talked about her college entrance examination results, but now it didn’t prevent her from thinking that Shen Sangyu was awesome.

“Do you have classes tomorrow morning?” Zhou Miao asked.

Shen Sangyu didn’t know yet: “The teacher notified us to go to a meeting tomorrow morning, and I guess the class schedule will be released by then.”

Shen Sangyu and they were from different departments, and there was basically no chance to go to class together in the future.

However, the Department of Education and the Department of Physics were very close.

Because there was a class meeting the next day, Shen Sangyu took a shower after reading for a while and went to bed early.

The next day, Zhao Zhaodi was the first to get up, and Shen Sangyu got up when she heard the noise.

In the past year in the military region, she had already developed the habit of getting up early, and she got up when she heard the sound of getting up outside the dormitory.

After packing up, the four of them went out together and then said goodbye to Shen Sangyu at the entrance of the Department of Physics.

Shen Sangyu came to the fourth floor according to the last route.

Shen Sangyu got up early, but when she came, the classroom was already full.

And there were indeed very few female students in the class. Shen Sangyu looked at it at a glance, and it seemed that only the first two rows were female, and the rest were male comrades.

But the seats in the front were all occupied, so Shen Sangyu could only find a seat in the last row and sit down.

As soon as Shen Sangyu entered the door, she attracted the attention of most people.

As soon as she sat down, a male comrade came over with a red face to introduce himself.

“Hello, my name is Lu Siwen. What is the name of this female comrade?”

Shen Sangyu realized that Lu Siwen was talking to her, nodded lightly, and said politely but distantly: “Hello, my name is Shen Sangyu.”

Lu Siwen realized the name was familiar, repeated it, and then realized something, her eyes widening immediately.

“Are you the national champion Shen Sangyu?”

Lu Siwen wore a pair of glasses and spoke in a weak voice. She really didn’t expect the other party to speak so loudly and almost scared her.

Lu Siwen hurriedly apologized: “I’m sorry, I, I’m just too excited!”

Shen Sangyu smiled slightly and said: “It’s okay, I don’t know if I’m the top scholar in the country, but I’m the top scholar in Sijiu City.”

Lu Siwen immediately became excited after hearing this: “That’s it!”

As she said that, Lu Siwen looked around Shen Sangyu warily, and seeing the curious eyes of the people around her, she hurriedly lowered her voice: “Comrade Sangyu, can I ask you something?”

Shen Sangyu nodded: “Go ahead.”

Lu Siwen suddenly felt a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while: “Just, just… can you tell me how you usually study?”

Shen Sangyu: “…”

Seeing that the other party didn’t answer, Lu Siwen thought she was a little offended and hurriedly said: “I, I don’t mean anything else; it’s just that your score is too high. I just want to know how you usually study.”

He usually had good grades and was also among the best in Sijiu City, but it wasn’t good enough in Yanda.

“No study skills,” Shen Sangyu said.

Lu Siwen thought Shen Sangyu didn’t want to tell her and was slightly disappointed.

Shen Sangyu was helpless: “There are really no study skills, but if you really want to know, just practice more questions during the exam.”

After all, the exam questions were quite simple, so practicing more questions was enough.
