Chapter 89: Heading to Jingcheng University to Register! Starting a New Life! (Part 2/2)

“I’ll take you to register first. We can talk later!” Lu Tao said, picking up a suitcase.

“Professor Lu, we can manage it ourselves!” Tang Long quickly offered.

“No problem! It’s a good exercise for me!” Lu Tao led the way.

Tang Feng and the others followed closely behind.

Some students recognized Lu Tao.

“Oh my gosh! Isn’t that Professor Lu Tao from the Mathematics Department? What’s he doing here?”

“It looks like he’s quite familiar with those two freshmen!”

“And he’s even carrying their bags voluntarily! What’s their relationship?”

“I remember now!” someone suddenly shouted.

“Remember what?” The eyes of the students around him immediately focused on him.

“That guy is this year’s top scorer from Dongshan Province!”

“Big deal! Our school has hundreds of top provincial scorers from the college entrance exams! Plus, many students were admitted through direct recommendation without taking the college entrance exams.”

“But being the top scorer from Dongshan Province is quite significant. After all, the competition in Dongshan Province’s college entrance exams is extremely fierce.”

“That’s not the point! Don’t you guys watch the news? He’s not only Dongshan Province’s top scorer but also achieved a perfect score in the exams!”

“Did I hear that right? A perfect score in the exams? How many extra points did he get?”

“What extra points? He scored a raw 750!”

“I remember now! This year’s top science student from Dongshan Province did score a perfect score, and he didn’t have any extra points!”

“That’s impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could anyone score a perfect score!”

“If only our phones could access the internet right now, I’d pull up the news and make you give up hope.”

“No wonder Professor Lu Tao personally came to pick him up! He really has the credentials! A perfect score in the college entrance exam, tsk tsk, I can’t even dream of that.”

“I know a little story, do you guys want to hear it?” someone asked mysteriously.

“Don’t beat around the bush, just say it!” Everyone’s attention was instantly drawn.

“Did you guys notice the girl with him just now?”

“Of course! She’s so pretty, it’s hard not to notice.”

“That girl also did well in her college entrance exams, ranking high in the province. But she applied for the Finance major at our school. Interestingly, our school only had one spot for Dongshan Province this year, and that spot was preemptively taken by a student from the provincial District. So, if our school didn’t add another spot, that girl probably wouldn’t have made it to our school. Of course, the school might have added an extra spot to secure such a talented student. But at that moment, the guy stood up and demanded that the girl be admitted into the Finance major.”

“Really? You’re not spreading rumors, are you?”

“Of course, it’s true! If you don’t believe it, you can ask around! Plus, the other girl admitted into the Finance major from Dongshan Province will also be registering at the school! Then you’ll know for sure!”

“That guy is quite manly, stepping up at the crucial moment!”

“It’s mainly because he has the strength! If he hadn’t scored a perfect score in the exams, he wouldn’t have the confidence to make such a demand!”

“I think strength is only part of it. More importantly, the guy must like the girl! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stepped forward to make a condition! If our school didn’t agree, the situation would have been very awkward.”

“What’s so awkward about it? Worst case scenario, go to the neighboring school! After all, the levels are similar.”

“Maybe for your major, but not for the one he applied for! His major is far from similar!”

“What major did he apply for?”

“Mathematics!”

“That’s tough! Even if he scored a perfect score in mathematics, there’s no need to choose this major! It’s purely masochistic! The math department is full of geniuses!”

“That’s true! Many in the Mathematics Department are admitted through direct recommendation, and six of them are gold medalists from the International Mathematical Olympiad! Although he scored a perfect score in math, compared to those geniuses, he’s still a bit lacking.”

“If I were him, I’d apply for the Foreign Languages or Chinese Literature Department. Scoring a perfect score in the language part of the college entrance exam, that’s truly impressive!”

“Plus, the Chinese Literature and Foreign Languages Departments have more girls! Finding a girlfriend would be a piece of cake!”

“Finding a girlfriend? What about the girl with him?”

As the discussions continued, Tang Feng and the others followed Lu Tao to the registration area.

The upperclassmen from the Mathematics Department came forward to greet Professor Lu Tao.

“Professor Lu, what brings you here?” a tall and thin male student inquired.

“I’m here to help a new student register. Please assist with the procedures,” Lu Tao responded.

Everyone’s gaze naturally fell on Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli, stirring up quite a stir.

“Which of them is the new student in our department?” the person inquired.

“Me!” Tang Feng stepped forward.

Seeing Tang Feng, there was a noticeable sense of disappointment.

Initially, the male students in the Mathematics Department were hoping for more female students, especially beautiful ones.

Unfortunately, it was Tang Feng.

And Tang Feng was exceedingly handsome, posing a significant threat to them.

However, they promptly completed Tang Feng’s enrollment procedures.

“Mr. Tang Feng, would you like me to take you to your dormitory?” a female student with long hair volunteered.

“No need! I’ll take him there,” Lu Tao replied before Tang Feng could respond, causing the female student to look disappointed.

After all, encountering such a handsome junior was rare, and it was hard not to be moved.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoli felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Although she knew Tang Feng would attract many female students upon entering university, she didn’t expect them to be so forward, putting pressure on her.

Soon, Lu Tao led Tang Feng and others to the School of Economics.

However, unlike the situation at the Mathematics Department, the upperclassmen at the School of Economics were gathered around something.

Quickly, they noticed a girl who was as beautiful and well-proportioned as Su Xiaoli, explaining the crowd’s interest.

“Are you Tang Feng?” the girl asked in surprise.

“Do you know me?” Tang Feng was visibly stunned.

“I saw you in the newspaper. I know you’re the top scorer from Dongshan Province,” the girl answered.

“Does that mean we’re from the same province?” a male student who had helped with the registration process asked.

“Are you also a student from Dongshan Province?” Tang Feng looked at her, sensing an ominous premonition.

“Yes,” the girl nodded, “My name is Yu Li.”

“Did you apply for the Finance major?” Tang Feng continued.

“Yes! If I remember correctly, the girl with you is in the same major as me,” Yu Li turned her gaze to Su Xiaoli.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “I look forward to learning from you.”

Yu Li smiled at them and then turned to leave, with two male students eagerly helping her with her luggage.

The remaining male students assisted Su Xiaoli with her registration procedures.

After everything was settled, Lu Tao took them to the student dormitory.

Tang Feng was assigned to Dormitory 32 for the Mathematics Department, and Su Xiaoli to Dormitory 37 for the School of Economics, which were not far apart.

As they arrived at the dormitory building, Lu Tao’s phone rang.

He quickly answered the call.

After the call, he said to Tang Feng, “The department head asked me to see him! You guys go ahead and settle in your dormitory. I’ll come find you later, and we’ll have lunch together.”

Saying this, he hurriedly left.

Tang Long’s family and Su Gang and his daughter temporarily parted ways.

Su Gang accompanied his daughter to Dormitory 37.

The dormitory administrator was busy processing new students’ check-ins.

Soon, Su Xiaoli received her dormitory key.

However, when they arrived at the dormitory, they found the door ajar.

Su Xiaoli pushed the door open and saw a somewhat familiar figure.

Yu Li!

Unexpectedly, not only were they in the same major, but they also shared a dormitory!

Seeing her, Yu Li warmly greeted them.

“Did you come alone?” Su Xiaoli inquired.

“Yes,” Yu Li nodded, “My parents are busy, and they didn’t have time to send me.”

“Xiaoli, since you and Yu Li are both from Dongshan Province and in the same major, you should help each other,” Su Gang earnestly advised his precious daughter.

“I understand. Don’t worry,” Su Xiaoli responded while starting to arrange her bed.

Yu Li, having almost finished arranging hers, came over to help.

Su Xiaoli did not refuse.

After all, there wasn’t any conflict between them, except for the slight inferiority complex Su Xiaoli felt due to Yu Li’s better college entrance exam scores.

But she believed that with Tang Feng’s help, she would achieve great results, possibly even surpassing Yu Li.

After they finished arranging the dormitory, Su Xiaoli said goodbye to Yu Li and joined her father outside the dormitory building.
