Chapter 44 First Encounter
Only Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu remained in the dormitory.

Hong Xiu was extremely averse to her new roommate, Zhou Menglu. She was secretly relieved that Su Nuannuan was sleeping in the bunk above her; otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face Zhou Menglu and Sun Xiuhua.

"Nuan Nuan, what should I do? My two new roommates are a bit difficult to get along with."

Although Hong Xiu didn't know what kind of personality Sun Xiuhua had, they could guess from Wang Ma's few words that Sun Xiuhua listened to Zhou Menglu.

Hong Xiu instinctively didn't want to associate with Zhou Menglu, the young lady who looked down on them as soon as she entered.

Su Nuannuan knew more than Hong Xiu. People like Zhou Menglu might seem glamorous now, but in a few years, they'd be people people avoided. Therefore, Su Nuannuan never intended to get along with this roommate.

"Ah Xiu, as long as she doesn't provoke us again, we'll pretend she doesn't exist. But if she dares to act like she did today, we're not easy to bully."

Hong Xiu nodded vigorously. Fortunately, Su Nuannuan was on her side in the dormitory; otherwise, she would have been bullied by the domineering Zhou Menglu.

Although Hong Xiu is older than Su Nuannuan, she is not as mature as Su Nuannuan. Therefore, when faced with a similar situation, Hong Xiu subconsciously asks Su Nuannuan what she should do.

Since it was the beginning of the semester and the school cafeteria wasn't open yet, Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu ate some dry food they had brought with them in their dormitory. Hong Xiu ate cornbread with pickled vegetables, while Su Nuannuan ate biscuits and canned fruit she had stored in her space.

Su Nuannuan originally wanted to share some with Hong Xiu, but she absolutely refused.

Although Hong Xiu was timid and lacked assertiveness, she was particularly persistent in this regard. Su Nuannuan sensed Hong Xiu's resistance and did not force her further.

Hong Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Nuannuan was no longer letting her eat cookies.

Although it was a small matter, Su Nuannuan could sense that Hong Xiu was a self-respecting, strong, and persistent girl, which made her like her even more.

"Nuan Nuan, I'm going to the library in a bit, do you want to come?"

"No need, Ah Xiu. I'd like to stroll around the school this afternoon."

"If you need to find me, go to the library. I'm usually there."

"it is good."

Watching Hong Xiu's departing figure, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder he's a bookworm; he went to the library on the first day of school.

Su Nuannuan sighed for a while, then took out her daily toiletries from her spatial storage. It had been difficult for her to carry them when Hong Xiu was there.

Her two large bags had limited space, and it wasn't practical to take out too many things. So, Su Nuannuan decided to wait until Hong Xiu left before taking them out of her spatial storage, as if she had just bought them.

Su Nuannuan tore off the packaging of the toiletries and took out two enamel basins to use as washbasins.

At that time, rubber products were not popular, and people usually used enamelware containers. After looking at her luggage, Su Nuannuan took out a bamboo thermos and two enamel mugs, feeling that everything was ready.

After tidying up her things, Su Nuannuan went out to take a look at the school where she would be living from now on.

There is a significant difference between Kyoto University in 1960 and it 60 years later. It lacks modern technological innovations, possessing only ancient architecture and gardens.

Su Nuannuan was short and had a delicate face. When she walked around campus, no one thought she was a student at Beijing University; they just assumed she was a high school freshman.

Therefore, as she walked along the street, Su Nuannuan received many kind smiles from her seniors. Some even came up to her and asked if she needed help. Su Nuannuan, naturally, was completely confused when asked.

It wasn't until three people asked her in a row that Su Nuannuan realized they thought she was a lost child.

Su Nuannuan pinched her still-developing cheeks, feeling slightly helpless.

Who told her she was just a 15-year-old girl, who would have been a minor in her previous life.

However, Su Nuannuan soon stopped worrying about her age. She was too tired to walk any further.

Beijing University is really big; it took Su Nuannuan an entire afternoon to explore every part of the campus. She memorized the locations of most of the buildings, but she was exhausted.

Su Nuannuan sat panting on the stone steps, sweat dripping from her forehead, looking utterly miserable. "Young comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"

As Su Nuannuan was wiping her sweat, she heard a clear and forthright female voice. Su Nuannuan subconsciously thought that this girl must have a very generous and forthright personality.

Su Nuannuan looked up and saw a bright and cheerful girl squatting in front of her, looking at her with concern. A boy was standing next to her.

Because Su Nuannuan was sitting, she could only see the boy's legs.

Long and straight, what amazing legs!

Su Nuannuan sighed inwardly. However, she quickly turned her attention to the pretty young lady who cared about her.

"Miss, oh no! Comrade, I'm fine."

Because she was so engrossed in thinking, Su Nuannuan accidentally blurted out the name she was referring to for a girl.

The girl opposite was taken aback for a moment when she heard Su Nuannuan's address, and then she burst out laughing.

"I'm the older sister, you're the younger sister, and Mingzhou is the older brother."

Hearing the girl call out another person's name, Su Nuannuan subconsciously looked at the man next to her.

Looking up, Su Nuannuan froze on the spot.

The boy had a cool and aloof demeanor, with striking almond-shaped eyes, a high nose, and thin, red lips. He didn't need to make any expression; just standing there, he was like a painting.

Even Su Nuannuan, who had seen many male celebrities in her previous life, couldn't help but stare in disbelief.

Good heavens, it turns out that there really are people who look like this in real life.

Seeing Su Nuannuan's stunned expression, Chu Mingxia burst into laughter again.

"Another little sister who can't take her eyes off our Mingzhou. Isn't that right, Mingzhou brother?"

Hearing his sister's teasing, Chu Mingzhou glanced at her indifferently and uttered two words.

"boring."

After saying that, he left without waiting for Chu Mingxia.

Seeing her brother's reaction, Chu Mingxia laughed even louder.

It wasn't until she saw Su Nuannuan standing next to her with a bewildered expression that she awkwardly stopped smiling.

"Little sister, where are your parents? Why did they leave you here alone?"

Su Nuannuan: ...

Su Nuannuan knew that the person in front of her was treating her like a child again, so she had no choice but to patiently explain to her.

After Su Nuannuan explained, Chu Mingxia realized that Su Nuannuan was actually a freshman who enrolled this year. At the same time, Su Nuannuan also learned that the cheerful and outgoing girl in front of her was named Chu Mingxia, and was a sophomore majoring in accounting.

The boy who just left was Chu Mingxia's younger brother, Chu Mingzhou.

"Don't let my brother's aloof demeanor fool you, he has the softest heart. He was the first one in Mingzhou to see you sitting here."

Su Nuannuan was surprised by Chu Mingxia's words.

I never expected that Chu Mingzhou, who seems aloof and unapproachable, would have such a soft heart.
