Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 378 Scored twice
"I'm back now." Xia Ning tried to raise the corners of her mouth, the sunlight shining through the window onto her slightly red eyes: "Although we can't continue to be roommates, we can get together often."

"Of course! You owe us half a year's worth of milk tea!" Zuo Yuqi burst into laughter and put her arm around Xia Ning's shoulders.

The four of them smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the carefree days of last year.

The sunlight shone through the window onto them, casting four shadows clinging to each other on the floor.

The dormitory was filled with a long-lost warm atmosphere, and even the dust floating in the air seemed particularly gentle.

Fang Shujing suddenly remembered something and took out a brown paper envelope from her bag: "I almost forgot, this is what Wang Yitong asked me to pass on to you."

Xia Ning took the envelope and opened it puzzledly.

A photo slipped out, she bent down to pick it up, and her breathing stopped instantly.

In the photo, she and Xu Wen stood side by side on the stage.

Xu Wen was wearing a neat black suit, while she was wearing an ice-blue chiffon evening dress.

She remembered that these were photos taken on the night of the singles party.

The party was over and everyone had left, leaving only the two of them standing on the stage.

Wang Yitong suddenly asked them to stand still and took this photo of them.

Xia Ning's fingertips gently stroked Xu Wen's profile in the photo.

That night he stood beside her in a suit, and the two of them worked in perfect harmony when hosting the show.

Everyone who met them said they were a match made in heaven.

At that time, Xia Ning fantasized whether the scene would be like this when they got married in the future.

But before long, all these fantasies turned into nothing.

"These are the photos of the singles party. Wang Yitong took them. She was busy at that time, so I wanted to give them to you after they were developed, but you ended up dropping out of school." Fang Shujing explained softly, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes.

"Thank you. Please thank Wang Yitong for me." She carefully put the photo back into the envelope and suppressed her surging emotions.

"She was originally going to make it into a poster and post it on the bulletin board, but she later thought about it and decided to leave it just for you and not show it to anyone else," Fang Shujing continued.

Zuo Yuqi suddenly hugged them from behind: "We secretly went to the administration building to look for your leave of absence application."

Her breath sprayed behind Xia Ning's ear: "It only says that you are on leave due to illness and need to rest."

Xia Ning's fingertips as she held the photo trembled slightly.

The crystals on the dress shone brightly in the photo.

That night, when Xu Wen helped her down the stairs, he said that these broken diamonds were like stars in the sky.

Now the starlight burned her skin through the photographic paper.

It reminded her of a time long ago when she also wore a blue dress at a New Year's Eve party in high school.

At that time, she was standing in the audience and Xu Wen was sitting in the audience. She tried hard to look at everyone, just so that their eyes could meet for a moment.

"It's all right now." She put the photo into the drawer, and the metal slides made a jerky sound.

Zhou Jiana suddenly poked the straw into the newly bought milk tea: "Try it, it's still the Ximen store."

The cup she stuffed into Xia Ning had water droplets on the outside: "The boss always asks us where the pretty girl who usually comes with us is."

Xia Ning bit the straw, and the sweet caramel flavor spread across her tongue.

At this time last year, they always came together to order milk tea, and the proprietress delivered it personally, calling out their dormitory numbers every time she came.

Now her student number has changed, her dormitory number has changed, and even the year of admission on her student ID has become 2012, but the taste between her lips and teeth stubbornly remains in her memory.

Fang Shujing poured out the contents of the brown paper bag: a sewing kit, a hot pack, and stomach medicine, all of which were daily necessities that Xia Ning often borrowed last year.

"Return the item to its original owner. We have kept it after you left and didn't throw it away." She said as she picked up the roll of pink silk thread.

Xia Ning picked up the sewing kit and saw a small "X" engraved on the inside of the thimble.

This was a gift from her mother on her twelfth birthday.

At that time, Zhou Jiana laughed at her and said it looked like an old lady's dowry.

The silver metal now has scratches on it, but the letters are still legible.

"We have found out the class schedule for you. Teacher Zhang will still teach you administrative law on Tuesday, but I heard that the textbook has been changed this year." Zuo Yuqi pulled up the memo on her phone.

Her voice gradually lowered as she saw Xia Ning staring outside.

Xia Ning suddenly walked towards the balcony.

The sliding door track is a little warped and makes the same rattling noise as last year.

"Actually, the doctor told me to come to school later." When she turned around, the sunlight cast a long shadow behind her.

Three pairs of eyes opened wide at the same time.

The heat pack in Fang Shujing's hand fell to the ground, making a slight muffled sound.

"But on the day I signed the application to return to school, I dreamed that the four of us were fighting for the last serving of sweet and sour pork ribs in the cafeteria. When I woke up, I thought, I should come back early." Xia Ning bent down to pick up the hot pack. The little bear pattern on the packaging bag had faded.

Zhou Jiana's straw made a hollow sound.

She bit the plastic tube and said vaguely: "The cafeteria has been renovated, and the taste of the ribs has changed, but the spicy hot pot on the second floor is still there."

Zuo Yuqi took a tissue and blew her nose: "When you were away, Xu Wen came to see you."

She glanced at Xia Ning's back, which straightened instantly. "We said you were dropping out of school, and he stood by the pot of green radish at the door for a long time."

Xia Ning put the hot pack back into the paper bag and her fingers touched something hard.

When they took it out, they found it was the key to their previous dormitory, and the keychain was the lucky cat-shaped one they had picked out together at the night market last year.

Xia Ning stroked the keychain, and the paint on the lucky cat was peeling a little.

"I still like my previous dormitory." She put the key back in Fang Shujing's palm.

Fang Shujing suddenly grabbed her hand that was about to be withdrawn: "I heard that the kettle here always has problems, remember to bring a thermos."

"I give this to you and update it every month, hoping that one day you can come back." Zuo Yuqi suddenly pulled out a folded piece of paper from the compartment of her wallet and unfolded it to reveal a hand-drawn horoscope chart.

Xia Ning noticed that the folds of the paper were already frayed, obviously having been opened and closed many times.

"Actually, we've applied to change dormitories." Zhou Jiana kicked the foot of the bed.

She stared down at the stain on her sneakers. “We wanted to move in here to be with you, but the counselor said it wasn’t allowed.”

"That's good. We're not too far away," she said finally, her fingers unconsciously running along the edge of the photo of the ice-blue dress.

Zhou Jiana keenly noticed the change in atmosphere and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, which class are you assigned to?"

Xia Ning looked at her gratefully and started talking about the new class.

The four of them sat around the bed, sharing snacks and milk tea like they did last year, and burst into laughter from time to time.

But Xia Ning noticed that whenever the laughter stopped, the dormitory would fall into a strange silence, as if everyone was carefully avoiding a certain topic.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the light and shadows in the dormitory lengthen.

Fang Shujing looked at her watch and said, "We should go now. We have classes in the afternoon."

"So soon?" Xia Ning was a little reluctant. This half-day reunion brought back the long-lost warmth for her.

"Let's get together again this weekend! I'll take you to eat at the new hotpot restaurant behind the school. It's much more delicious than what we secretly cooked last year!" Zuo Yuqi patted her shoulder.

Zhou Jiana walked to the door and suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, does Xu Wen know that you are back?"

They finally brought up the topic.

The dormitory became quiet again.

Xia Ning lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her face: "Yeah, I just saw him today."

The three of them exchanged glances.

Fang Shujing coughed lightly: "How about him?"

"That's good, he is my senior now." Xia Ning raised her head and gave a faint smile.

She felt a subtle sting as she said this.

At this time last year, she was still Xu Wen's girlfriend, but now, the only relationship between them is that of senior and junior.

"That boy is famous now! All the girls in the school are asking about him." Zuo Yuqi said carelessly, and was immediately glared at by Zhou Jiana.

Xia Ning smiled: "I know. I saw it during the orientation today. Many schoolgirls surrounded him and asked for his autograph."

Her tone was relaxed, as if she was just talking about an ordinary friend.

"Let's go, Xia Ning, no matter what happens, we are your friends." Fang Shujing pulled the two of them out and stopped at the door.

Xia Ning stood at the door, watching the backs of her three roommates disappear around the corner of the corridor.

Back in the dormitory, she took out the photo again and gently stroked the outline of Xu Wen on it with her fingertips.

A lot has changed in half a year. He has a new life and a new relationship, and she has also started a new journey.

But some things never change.

For example, the sincere friendship of my roommates, the image of myself wearing a starry sky dress in the photo, and the inseparable feelings for Xu Wen deep in my heart.

Xia Ning carefully put the photo into the drawer and turned to look out the window.

People come and go on campus, and freshmen start their college life with anticipation, just like her last year.

She took a deep breath, picked up her phone and sent a message to Fang Shujing: "Hotpot this weekend, see you there."

The message Xu Wen sent earlier was displayed on the top of the screen: "Are you settled? Contact me anytime if you need help."

After sending the message to Xia Ning, Xu Wen returned to the new student reception desk.

It was not his shift yet, but he still sat on the chair out of habit.

Compared with the morning, there are far fewer new students reporting in the afternoon.

The last ones will come tomorrow.

After sitting back, he quickly finished the lunch box that Ding Yue brought.

Perhaps because he felt a little dizzy after eating the lunch box, Xu Wen yawned.

When he stands on the stage and brags to the freshmen tomorrow, his welcoming mission will be completed.

Just as I was in a daze, a clear female voice came from behind me.

"Hello, senior. Is this the registration point for the School of Computer Science?"

Xu Wen turned around and saw a girl wearing black-framed sunglasses, a mask and a baseball cap standing in front of him.

It's exactly the outfit a female celebrity would wear when going out.

Dressed in a simple white T-shirt and jeans, and carrying a backpack with a dolphin print on it, she looked like any other normal freshman.

"Yes, this is the School of Computer Science. What's your major? Do you need me to take you to the dormitory?" Xu Wen recognized the person in front of him. He suppressed his smile and handed her a freshman guide.

The girl took the guide and when she lowered her head to read it, a strand of golden hair slipped out from her baseball cap and hung beside her cheek.

"I'm majoring in software engineering. Can you take me to see your studio? I'm particularly interested in programming." The girl raised her head, with a cunning look behind her sunglasses.

"Okay, boss lady, you can go whenever you want." Xu Wen replied with a smile.

The expression on the girl's face collapsed instantly. She took off her glasses and her long golden hair fell down like a waterfall.

"How did you recognize me so quickly! I changed my hairstyle and glasses on purpose!" Gu Xingruo pouted, looking unwilling.

Xu Wen couldn't help laughing and reached out to ruffle her hair: "Your hair color is too eye-catching, and how could I not recognize this ring?"

He pointed to her hand.

Gu Xingruo looked down at her ring and stamped her feet in annoyance: "I forgot to take it off! I wanted to pretend to be a freshman to give you a surprise."

She raised her head and glared at Xu Wen: "You should at least pretend that you didn't recognize me and cooperate with me for a while!"

"Okay, okay, let's do it again?" Xu Wen raised his hands in surrender.

He stepped back a few steps, cleared his throat, and pretended to have just seen Gu Xingruo: "Classmate, what is your major?"

Gu Xingruo immediately got into character and pushed up his non-existent glasses: "Hello, senior. I am a freshman majoring in software engineering. I heard that you are the most powerful senior in the School of Computer Science, so I came here to ask you for your learning experience."

Xu Wen suppressed his smile and answered seriously, "You are too polite, please feel free to ask any questions you have."

"Senior, do you have a girlfriend?" Gu Xingruo blinked her big eyes with an innocent look on her face.

Xu Wen almost choked on his own saliva: "You can ask me questions about study."

"So what type of girls do you like, senior?" Gu Xingruo kept on asking, the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably.

Xu Wen looked at her trying hard to hold back her laughter and finally broke through: "I like girls with blonde hair, girls wearing white dresses, and girls who suddenly appear in front of me and surprise me."

He took a step forward and gently pinched Gu Xingruo's cheek: "Especially the one with the surname Gu."

Gu Xingruo couldn't hold it in any longer and started to chuckle: "You're breaking the rules! How can you answer like that!"

She threw herself into Xu Wen's arms, resting her forehead on his shoulder: "I had planned it more perfectly. I would pretend to meet you by chance on campus, then treat you to a meal, and finally reveal my identity in front of the library."

Xu Wen hugged her and smelled the familiar scent of shampoo in her hair: "Why do you have to go to so much trouble? Didn't we agree to meet in the evening?"

Gu Xingruo raised her head, her eyes sparkling: "Because I want to experience the feeling of 'first meeting' with you. We have known each other for so many years, but we have never had the romance of a campus encounter."

She pouted and said, "We weren't in the same school after college, and now we're finally on the same campus. I want to create some new memories."

The other volunteers around looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the entangled couple.

Neither of them said anything, but they saw tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

My ex-girlfriend was already so pretty, but I didn’t expect my current girlfriend to be even more special.

Fortunately, there are few new students in the afternoon.

Otherwise, I don’t know what those girls who were rushing to ask Teacher Xu for his autograph would think if they saw it?

Xu Wen felt warm in his heart: "Then let's get to know each other again now?"

He took a step back and held out his hand: "Hello, I'm Xu Wen, a sophomore from the School of Computer Science."
