He took it all as a joke.
Moreover, they might stay in the dormitory on the first day, and don't necessarily have to go home!
104. How many people will Gu Qing amaze this time?
Jinan University's campus in the city has a very old feel to it.
The marble school gate is not wide and has a somewhat retro feel.
The relief on the left reads "Serious and Lively," while the one on the right reads "United and Tense."
Looking in from outside the gate, a row of large banyan trees line both sides of the driveway that can accommodate two vehicles, creating a cool, green shade under the sunlight.
On the first day of the new semester, volunteers were already waiting at the gate of Jinling University to welcome the new students.
He Xiaowu, a third-year student majoring in Chinese language and literature, is one of them.
Volunteers generally serve two main purposes when welcoming new students.
The first goal is academic credits.
The second purpose is naturally for the younger students.
He Xiaowu didn't have many credits, but they were enough.
Therefore, her main objective was the second one.
Since her roommate successfully found a partner during last year's orientation work, He Xiaowu had been looking forward to the new student registration for a whole year.
Jinling University is one of the top universities in China, and naturally, it has no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women.
He Xiaowu is of above-average appearance, and as long as her requirements aren't too high, she should be able to find a boyfriend.
However, He Xiaowu focused on her novel writing for the first two years, thus missing the best time to make friends and integrate into social circles at the beginning of university.
When she had completed half of her university life and looked back, she found that most of the people around her were in couples.
The guy she's interested in is already taken.
Unwilling to settle, she began to pay attention and search, but unfortunately, she had not found a suitable target.
Last year, her roommate successfully met a younger student during orientation and subsequently found a boyfriend, which inspired her.
Freshmen who have just graduated from the stressful three years of high school often need to release stress the most and are most eager to have a sweet romance.
Moreover, according to her roommate, boys at this age are at their most innocent and easily fooled.
With a little effort, patience, and a bit of shamelessness, you'll eventually succeed.
He Xiaowu kept those words in mind.
Because she couldn't get a job welcoming new students at the train station, she had to work as a guide at the school gate in hopes of finding some who had slipped through the net.
Morning 9: 15
Under the rising sun, a gentle breeze blows.
Behind He Xiaowu, the large banyan trees on both sides of the road made a rustling sound as their leaves rubbed against each other.
But at this moment, her attention was not focused on her hearing at all, but on her eyes.
In the straight line of sight, a boy wearing a white shirt and trousers slowly walked towards them, pulling a suitcase.
The boy's face was very handsome. No, He Xiaowu dared to swear that this unadorned face was the most beautiful face she had ever seen in her life.
Above her delicate, petite nose were a pair of starry eyes, with slightly upturned corners, which should have been alluring peach blossom eyes.
But there was no trace of worldly affairs in the boy's eyes; his watery eyes were like a bottomless pool of clear water, serene and mysterious.
Below, her thin lips, like cherry blossoms, were so delicate and tempting that one couldn't wait to taste them.
Further down, her fair and smooth chin adorned the air, and her slender swan neck stretched out naturally.
The boy had no makeup on and was dressed simply and plainly.
There were no earrings on her ears, and no pendant around her neck.
The only thing on her entire body that could barely be considered an accessory was the wristwatch on her delicate left wrist.
On her feet were a pair of sneakers the same color as her clothes.
When the breeze blew by, it stirred the black hair at the boy's temples and also stirred He Xiaowu's restless heart.
Beautiful to the point of being stunning, simple to the extreme, ethereal to the point of being sacred—this was He Xiaowu's first impression of Gu Qing.
"She's even prettier than the school beauty..."
He Xiaowu sighed, then looked at the other volunteers who were also eager to go, and without hesitation, she took the lead and went to meet them.
"Hi junior, I'm a volunteer from our school. Let me take you to the registration area!"
He Xiaowu tried her best to suppress the smug smile on her face and the longing in her eyes, striving to make her expression natural.
At the same time, a hand reached out to take the boy's suitcase.
As for the girl next to the boy, she naturally ignored her.
Just kidding, how could anyone's eyes possibly be on any other creature in front of such a stunningly handsome young man?
"No thanks."
Gu Qing looked at the girl in front of him and said softly.
Although she didn't know where the new students would register, she figured it shouldn't be too hard to find, and Gu Qing instinctively didn't want to bother anyone.
He Xiaowu was somewhat disappointed when she heard Gu Qing's rejection, but she would never give up.
Such a stunning beauty, if she doesn't take this opportunity to get to know her better, she'll probably never have any chance at all once those beasts find out about her on campus.
"Don't be so polite, junior. My name is He Xiaowu, a third-year student in the Literature Department. My job today is to help the new students register."
Sticking to her shameless principles, He Xiaowu remained unwilling to leave and instead began to play the role of a guide.
Amidst the hateful glares of the other volunteers, he walked ahead of Gu Qing, occasionally turning back to introduce the campus of Jin University.
Gu Qing walked naturally, with Su Xiyue beside him.
As soon as Gu Qing entered the campus, she naturally attracted a lot of prying eyes.
In high school, the pressure from the school and parents can suppress the students' restless hearts.
But once they get to university, without pressure or anyone deliberately suppressing them, students begin to reveal their true nature without hesitation.
Gu Qing attracted countless glances along the way, and some people even secretly took photos with their phones.
Fortunately, so far, no one has dared to approach us.
Apart from He Xiaowu, the senior student who led the way.
Su Xiyue, who was standing next to Gu Qing, suddenly felt unprecedented pressure.
She was familiar with those gazes directed at Gu Qing, because she had once felt that way herself.
What puts even more pressure on her is that this is one of the top universities in the country, and compared to the university she applied to, the vast majority of students here are more outstanding than her, at least in terms of grades.
It's easy to imagine that news of Gu Qing's arrival will soon spread throughout the entire campus.
Not only freshmen of the same grade, but also upperclassmen.
She'll probably have an ever-growing number of rivals.
Her only advantage over these people is probably that she is close enough to Gu Qing.
Su Xiyue couldn't help but clench her fist tightly.
Gu Qing has already amazed many people in high school, and now in college, how many more will he amaze?
In any case, she did not want to see Gu Qing fall into another woman's arms.
Under such immense pressure, Su Xiyue accompanied Gu Qing through the tree-lined path to the freshman registration area.
At this time, some of the earlier new students had already arrived.
"Junior, let me help you queue up. You can rest in the shade for a while, and I'll call you when it's your turn!"
He Xiaowu immediately began to fawn over her.
With such delicate and fair skin, I doubt any girl would want to let him bask in the sun!
"Gu Qing, let me go queue up for you!"
Su Xiyue, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
This was the first time He Xiaowu had learned the boy's name, and she learned it from another girl.
105. Gu Qing's explicit refusal
Handsome young men are always a scarce resource.
Especially since Gu Qing is so exceptionally beautiful.
