Chapter 705: Youth

I'm always being watched." 。But I'm sure there was no one around, I live alone. 。" "Were there any sudden changes in your life two months ago""No, it was just the same as usual." 。Two months ago, sh...She didn't originally want to live in a dorm. She wanted to live with her mom in an apartment outside, but her mother refused. She said she was coming to Senzhou to find a job too, and didn't want to have to work and take care of her every day. Tinglan could only obey.

She cried all the way back to her dormitory. Unexpectedly, when she arrived, her roommates were all there, staring at her with wide eyes, seeing her red-rimmed eyes.

She quickly wiped away her tears, managed a small smile, and greeted everyone.

All the girls were the same age. After each introduced themselves, they all became familiar with each other.

To say it strangely, their dormitory was like a hodgepodge. The four girls weren't from the same major. It was probably during dormitory arrangement when each department had only one girl left, so the dorm manager just put them together.

The girl in the bed next to hers was named Lin Zhixuan, she was very pretty and warm. As soon as she introduced herself, she asked ...

"Shushu, is this the snack you sent us" She held up the bag of potato chips.

Tinglan nodded, and Lin Zhifan happily said: "Thank you! It's my favorite cucumber flavor."

The two girls in the bed opposite, one named Gāo Gāo, lived up to her name, tall and thin. Perhaps because she was a native of Senzhou, there was a slight air of superiority in her words.

Seeing the chips on her bed, she also smiled and said, “Thank you, Shushu, but this stuff is high in calories, I can’t eat it.” Although what she said was polite, her tone made people feel a little uncomfortable.

This was something that Mom specially prepared for them. Listenlan cherished it very much. Since Gao Gao didn't want it, she wanted to take it back and keep it for herself. However, Lin Zhixuan beside her snatched the bag of potato chips before her.

"That's perfect. This is my favorite potato chip, I'm naturally beautiful, not afraid of getting fat, thanks ShuShu."

She opened a bag of chips in front of several people and munched on them with gusto.

Another girl named Tongtong is from the north. Unlike what Tinglan imagined about northerners, she isn't very tall and has a sweet and lovely appearance like a Jiangnan girl.

She also picked up a bag of chips and sweetly said to Tinglan, "Thank you."

Actually, everyone is much easier to get along with than Tinglan imagined, especially Lin Zhixuan in the next bed. He was chatting with her while packing his luggage.

"Were you crying because you miss home"

"Hmm." Tinglan nodded silently.

"Oh, I'm different. I didn't have my parents send me to school. It was hard being under their control all the time, but now I'm finally free! I'm so happy."

Ting Lan smiled and said nothing more.

They were all busy tidying up their belongings. Tinglan sat alone, thinking about her mother's advice to get along well with her roommates. So she spoke up and asked:

"Is there anything I can help you with"

"No need, no need. I don't have much to pack."

Lin Zhifan and Tongtong both waved their hands, saying they didn't need to. Anyway, there wasn't much stuff.

Only GaoGao on the opposite side unceremoniously said: "Dear Shushu, can you come up and help me hang the bed curtain I can't manage it alone."

Gao Gao wanted to hang curtains around his bed, but after trying for a long time, he still couldn't get them up. So, he asked Ting Lan to help him.

He called out to her while complaining.

“If I had known better, I would have stayed home. Living on campus is so inconvenient; there's no privacy at all.”

Tinglan was also a bit clumsy, she had never done this kind of work before. The two of them struggled for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, the curtain was still not hung properly.

Gao Gao was getting a bit annoyed, yanked the curtain down and flung it to the ground, muttering under his breath, "Can't do anything, good for nothing."

Ting Lan's expression was gentle, and her voice was soft as well, but each word she spoke was clear: "I have no obligation to help you."

After he finished speaking, he climbed down from her bed and returned to his own.

Lin Zhixuan gave her a big thumbs-up beside her, then said with a smile.

“Shushu, are you ready Let's go for a walk around the campus. I heard that the scenery at Sen Da is beautiful. I didn't have time to look at it when I came here just now.”

"Okay."

Ting Lan readily agreed.

Although they had just met, she liked Lin Zhifei, this passionate and generous girl.

When Lin Zhixuan walked out, arm in arm with her, he comforted her: "Don't mind that Gao Gao. When you didn't return to the dorm earlier, she and her parents picked on you for half a day there. What's so great about her She's just a native of Senzhou, a displaced person."

"I'm fine." Tinglan's mood remained unchanged by Gao Gao's attitude. She was now numb inside, impervious to everything.

The two of them walked through the campus, and from time to time boys would turn their heads to look at them because they were both too eye-catching and beautiful.

Ting Lan's natural look is captivating. Her skin is fair and she has lost some weight, making her facial features more prominent and defined. Her eyes are particularly striking, sparkling with life, and her overall appearance radiates purity and innocence.

Beside her, Lin Zhi's makeup was light yet captivating, her features striking and alluring.

The two of them were about the same height, but their personalities were completely different, each with their own unique style. So as soon as they appeared on campus, they immediately caught the attention of many male students. A few upperclassmen from junior or senior year bravely came over to say hello.

“Are you freshman”

Ting Lan didn't want to pay attention, silently putting a few steps of distance between herself and the boys, while Lin Zhiyao happily replied, "Yeah, hello seniors."

Have you all finished your enrollment procedures Feel free to ask us if you have any questions. A few boys were very enthusiastic.

"Everything is done, thanks, seniors." Lin Zhixuan was also enthusiastic, but didn't really take it to heart. She wasn't impressed with the few boys, as they weren't her type, but she still added them on WeChat.

"It never hurts to meet new people," she said, holding onto Tinglan's hand and explaining with a carefree attitude, not hiding anything.

"Hmm." Tinglan didn't like it herself, but she respected her style.

The two of them strolled through the sprawling campus of Sen Da University. It was the start of the semester, so they encountered many students dragging their suitcases and rushing back to school along the way.

Listening to the sounds, he had no heart for the scenery. His thoughts drifted off somewhere unknown. His clear eyes were veiled with a thin mist of water at some point.

“Shushu, the famous Huaxin canteen of Sen Da is just ahead. I did some research before coming here, and the claypot rice inside is supposedly super delicious...”

Lin Zhixuan turned his head to look at her, and Ting Lan only then came back to herself, the mist in her eyes still lingering.

"Missing home again Just give your family a call and chat with your parents for a while." Lin Zhiyao felt like a wild horse running free after going to university, filled with the wonderful feeling of freedom, so she couldn't quite understand Tinglan's kind of "good girl" who wanted to cry because she missed home.

Tinglan shook her head. "It's fine, let's go eat the clay pot rice you mentioned."

She didn't want anyone to see her embarrassment. She thought to herself that she must adjust her mindset as soon as possible in the future and not be sad so easily. At that time, a popular saying was: When you complain about having no shoes to wear, remember that some people don't even have feet.

She still has college to look forward to, and she has her mom to rely on.t of close friends, confidantes. He was in danger, how could she be happy... she contacted him, and he only said ...“Tinglan, please don't contact me again. I'll delete all your contact information sh...
