If someone asked Yang Xia what it feels like to study at the best university in China, Yang Xia might not be able to give a long list of details, because there are some similarities and some differences from what he imagined, but one thing is for sure: eating is definitely a hassle.
There are too many canteens with different styles. Once you enter, you have to face all kinds of canteen windows with dishes from all over the world. What to eat is definitely a headache for people with choice-making difficulties.
Fortunately, it was not so troublesome after that. Yang Xia and Qin Qian sent each other text messages and decided on a location after discussing it.
After the Tsinghua No. 10 Middle School student reunion, Qin Qian was contacted several times and joined in. As a result, she participated in alumni activities and became very close to Yang Xia.
This kind of relationship is very strange. They are not best friends, but two girls who have their own personalities in the eyes of others. The word "best friends" is too sticky to explain their relationship, but they seem to get along really well.
There are some things they can do together, such as eating in the cafeteria at mealtime, drinking milk tea in the water bar in the afternoon, or reading books in the library. But they never intervene deeply in each other's lives, just like Yang Xia will not talk too much about her class and major, and Qin Qian never invites her to watch her performance in the art troupe.
The two of them have a very special way of getting along with each other, keeping a distance but still being as close as friends.
When the two of them started chatting, it was a little strange that Qin Qian and Yang Xia greeted each other unfamiliarly, "So you are from Fulong Courtyard... Did you grow up with Cheng Ran?"
Yang Xia would also nod and say, "I saw your photo once at his house."
This was the initial conversation, and afterwards the two sides often walked together in pairs, side by side in Yanyuan, which is probably what many people call a stunning encounter.
As a member of the art troupe, Qin Qian is also a popular figure in the school. This is not to say that ordinary students will show any support for her, but she is famous enough and often goes out to perform, so Yang Xia thinks her life is relatively colorful. Luo Xi mentioned that there are people who bet on pursuing Qin Qian, and there are all kinds of deeds that make people's ears stand up at first glance, which are quite romantic for other people, but the result is often that the other party returns empty-handed. In fact, many boys who have dated her have easily resolved all kinds of routines in front of her.
The pursuer was simply so angry that he lost his temper and thought to himself, "Sister, you actually know more than me."
Yang Xia was quite impressed by this.
Even in the best universities in China, a dull life spent studying books every day is certainly common, but there are also very exciting lives. As long as you have active connections and are popular, a lot of things will come to you.
When they were having dinner together, Yang Xia thought about Cheng Ran's recent news at HKUST. It just so happened that there was nothing to talk about at this time, but she was still unsure whether to mention it to Qin Qian. Although she had seen the photos Qin Qian sent in Cheng Ran's room, she was probably in the mood of a young age, as if she had never heard from Cheng Ran again. Even in Tsinghua Yanyuan, she witnessed Qin Qian's popularity and popularity, which was roughly a new world. After getting along with Qin Qian, they talked about many topics, but she never asked Yang Xia about Cheng Ran or talked about him.
It was as if the boy was just a fleeting glimpse of scenery outside the car window. Maybe he was stunning for a moment, but there was no trace of him.
Even Yang Xia wasn't sure whether to talk to her about him, but she still scooped a spoonful of rice and held the spoon in her mouth, saying, "He's still not quiet in the recent Ten Middle School group..."
Qin Qian was texting, probably to arrange for the next performance. She had already made several phone calls regarding this matter. After sending the last message, she looked up and asked, "Huh? What happened to the No. 10 Middle School group?"
"Uh..." Yang Xia was stunned for a moment, and said, "It seems like they are planning when to have dinner next time..."
"I may not be able to go, as I have a tour coming up." Qin Qian smiled. Her oriental facial features revealed a hint of charm, which made Yang Xia a little jealous. He thought that since he was a man, he would definitely be able to take advantage of the situation and stretch his claws to the girl in front of him.
In the evening, I happened to see Cheng Ran online, so I sent him an emoticon on QQ. The two of them started chatting by typing. Yang Xia said, "Congratulations, President Cheng, this is quite a big deal. I heard about it from the alumni of No. 10 Middle School when I was in Tsinghua University."
Cheng Ran responded, "UST is too boring, let's do something fun, otherwise I'll be bored."
Yang Xia asked again, "How is it, are there any female members coming in?"
Cheng Ran responded, "I am a little distressed. Fewer men are submitting resumes."
Yang Xia was itching to do so. "You set up this association, aren't you just trying to feel the power of an official and the unique advantages you have over resources? That's really too much. HKUST already has too many people and too little resources, and you're trying to take advantage of every opportunity to get some money. You really have no shame!"
Cheng Ran replied, "Of course, Miss Yang is very accurate in her words now. She can easily use words like "too many monks and too little porridge" and "you have grown a lot in college!"
Yang Xia laughed so hard that he bent forward and backward while typing, "Don't talk nonsense! Now I'm talking about your problem! Is it appropriate to join a club as a freshman? Don't forget that you got in as the top scorer. If you don't do your job properly, you will fail many courses in the future. Some reporters are watching you now. They may publish a special article on "Where is the top scorer now?" Don't smear our Sichuan students when the time comes! Also, is it fun to lie? Everyone knows the situation at your University of Science and Technology, and there are more girls joining clubs than boys? You are just trying to smear yourself."
Cheng Ran replied, "You are wrongly accusing USTC. Hearsay is deadly! In fact, girls in USTC are not rare animals. Although the number is unbalanced, they are not protected animals. There are still a lot of good-looking ones. It's like saying that Tsinghua University is a Buddhist temple. Yes, some engineering and science majors are indeed like this, but if you look at the art students and liberal arts majors, you will find that the ones with outstanding looks are still crowded together."
Although the word "appearance" is advanced, Yang Xia still thinks he understands it based on its literal meaning.
Yang Xia finally typed, "When did you come to Tsinghua again? Your problem is that you love to say such baseless things. Okay, okay, you can continue to get carried away. Don't let yourself fall down and get hurt!"
Yang Xia turned off the computer out of boredom and went to wash up, rinse her mouth and brush her teeth.
Looking in the mirror and thinking about Qin Qian's appearance today, she shook her head and chuckled.
In the end, she still didn't tell Cheng Ran that she often ate with the well-built dancing queen from No. 10 Middle School who was pressed under the book.
Because if she did, she couldn't tell him that during the youth when he thought he was young and people wrote letters and sent photos to him, after he went through the truly wonderful and real college years, in her heart, he might just be a touch of sentiment from those days.
Maybe there is no need to even ask.
