Starting with taking in female college students

Chen Rang's impression of Sarawak University is still from when he was in high school.

For a time, one of the ways his father urged him to study hard was to take him to Sarawak University; and pointing to his forehead, he told him that if he didn't study hard, he would only be able to drift along in a third-tier university like Sarawak University and would never amount to anything.

But the old man never expected that, less than two years after he uttered those words that sounded like a curse, Sarawak University would be upgraded to a second-tier university.

Although in Chu Province, where the cultural and scientific research atmosphere is so strong, a second-tier university degree is nothing special, those students who attended Shashi University in those years really benefited, as they could get a second-tier university degree with scores that were only good enough for a third-tier university.

Thinking of this, Chen Rang glanced at Ni Youlin.

Ever since she stepped into the school gates, the girl had become increasingly taciturn. She kept her head down the whole time without uttering a sound, and didn't even dare to turn her head to look at Chen Rang, just silently walking forward.

During summer vacation, there are hardly any people to be seen on university campuses.

Especially in places like the teaching buildings, they look completely empty from the outside, without a sound. There are still people walking around on the playground not far away, but compared to the whole university, those few people look pitifully few.

So it's strange that Ni Youlin became so silent even in this almost undisturbed situation.

Chen Rang was very curious to see her two completely different emotional styles compared to when she was outside of school.

He was very curious as to why this girl would choose to study at Sarawak University.

Is it because her academic performance is only at this level? Or is it because her father only wants to settle her nearby and keep her under his nose, which is why he left her in the small city of Sarawak?

In addition, it seems like she always has something on her mind. What could it be?

Chen Rang felt that he was already quite familiar with Ni Youlin, but he also felt that there was still a lot of mystery surrounding her, and he was far from understanding her.

But... do I need to find out? I'm nobody to her!

Realizing what was happening, Chen Rang shook his head.

"arrive."

Ni Youlin suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Chen Rang looked up and saw a seven-story building with a somewhat old-fashioned style.

The square frame and rows of dormitory rooms look just like the legendary worker dormitories in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Dongguan, completely lacking any distinctive features.

It's as if holes have been cut into a long, narrow cardboard box, giving people a very oppressive feeling.

"It's like a prison."

Chen Rang pursed his lips, suddenly feeling a little nostalgic for the dormitory he lived in during his university days.

Although in retrospect it wasn't really that great, at least the colors, exterior decorations, spacing between buildings, and even the greenery were much better than this place.

He originally thought that as the daughter of a big boss, Ni Youlin would at least be able to live in a special place, such as a four-person research institute building or something.

It seems that Mr. Ni did not give his daughter any special treatment.

Because a dormitory supervisor was sitting in the gatehouse on the first floor, scrolling on her phone, Chen Rang didn't have the guts or the nerve to go up and ask to enter the girls' dormitory. He didn't know how the man Ni Youlin had mentioned yesterday had gotten in, but he certainly wouldn't do such a thing.

This meant that Ni Youlin had to go upstairs to pack her things and bring them down herself, while he helped her take them and keep an eye on them until they were all packed up and left together.

Soon, only Chen Rang was left downstairs.

Because there was no shade in front of the building, he chose to stand under the eaves of a shop downstairs for shade.

Feeling bored, he took out his phone to chat with someone.

"Hey bro, are you here waiting for your girlfriend too?"

A somewhat dull-looking boy came running excitedly down the path. He was wearing glasses, holding a small bouquet of flowers, and his face showed a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

"no."

Chen Rang shook his head, thought for a moment, and then confirmed his relationship with Ni Youlin.

"friend."

"friend?"

The boy paused for a moment, then quickly gave a teasing smile. "I get it! That's what my girlfriend told me at first too—to start as friends! So it's okay to be friends, don't be discouraged! A good woman can withstand persistence, so be like me and keep at it!"

Chen Rang glanced at the boy but ignored him.

Because the guy in front of you is at best a backup option, or maybe he's just a simp, and what he's saying is just bragging.

People who actually have girlfriends don't look like this.

To put it bluntly, couples who are truly together don't need to send flowers. The everyday moments spent together are already a source of great happiness; there's no need to constantly prepare surprises.

"Let me tell you, my girlfriend is super beautiful. You'll see for yourself in a bit!"

The boy was still chattering on and on, extremely excited.

"Is it Ni Youlin's pitiful and endearing appearance, or Li Shiwei's heroic and radiant charm?"

Chen Rang thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

Seeing that the boy was about to continue bragging, he was getting impatient. Just as he was about to say something back, he suddenly saw Ni Youlin coming down the stairs with a suitcase in her hand.

He went up to her and took her bag. When he saw that Ni Youlin didn't turn around and go up to her again but stood obediently in place, he was stunned for a moment.

"Is this all you have?"

"Um."

Ni Youlin's response left Chen Rang even more speechless.

When he returned from university, he had two suitcases filled with all sorts of luggage, big and small, to the point that one of the buckles on the suitcases broke. But Ni Youlin only had this small handbag?

Can this hold three pieces of clothing, or two sets of study guides?

However, seeing Ni Youlin looking at him with such an air of entitlement, Chen Rang couldn't bring himself to question her. He could only say, "Let it be. Anyway, even if Ni Youlin is struggling financially, she's not short of money. If she needs anything, I'll buy it for her."

The two of them didn't say much, and silently turned around and walked back.

As Chen Rang passed by the boy, he saw a stunned expression on his face, as if he had witnessed the end of the world. It seemed that he was shocked and desperate about the fact that Chen Rang's target was Ni Youlin, and his eyes were filled with envy and disbelief, a mix of emotions.

That's pretty strange.

"What are you looking at?"

Ni Youlin turned her head to look at Chen Rang curiously.

As for the boy, he seemed to be completely ignored by her from beginning to end. Even when he was panting and sucking in cold air, he couldn't attract Ni Youlin's attention in the slightest.

Do you know him?

"Yeah, it's a classmate of mine. He tries to please one of the girls in my dorm every day, but she has a boyfriend outside the dorm."

"Tsk!"

After a brief conversation, Chen Rang suddenly felt that the boy was quite pathetic in every sense of the word.

The two quickly returned to Chai Wan, where Chen Rang received a call from Aunt Xie. Aunt Xie had initially refused to sell the house, but after Chen Rang's repeated persuasion, she finally agreed to rent it to Ni Youlin.

However, since she will not be back from Chu City until tomorrow, Ni Youlin will still have to stay on the third floor of Chen Rang's house tonight.

Ni Youlin seemed to have no opinion on this.

Chen Rang even had a vague feeling that Ni Youlin seemed to have designs on his house; as soon as she put down her bag, she couldn't wait to take out a ceramic doll and place it next to a photo frame in the corner of the TV cabinet.

Because of business at the noodle shop downstairs, he didn't linger on the third floor. He told Ni Youlin to decide what else she needed to buy, and then hurriedly returned downstairs.

A short while later, Ni Youlin also came down.

Seeing Chen Rang talking to a client, she walked in, looked around for a while, and then obediently went to the cattery.

After staring at the blue and white cat in the cat house for a while, she noticed that the room was a bit dirty, so she consciously found a broom and slowly began to clean it.

"Xiao Chen, is this your newly hired nurse?"

The woman selling vegetables at the market stared at Ni Youlin with some curiosity for a while. A fluffy little white dog was squatting at her feet, looking incredibly cute. Especially its large, drooping ears gave it a charmingly goofy appearance.

In fact, this dog is a mixed breed with Samoyed and Dalmatian ancestry, as well as some other complex breed characteristics.

Such a breed may not possess all the advantages of its lineage, but it will certainly have some of the defects of that lineage. For example, Chen Rang has already discovered that this dog has some problems with its hip dysplasia.

This is a common genetic disease in many crossbred dog breeds. There are basically no good treatments; the only option is to intervene to prevent accidental injuries.

Clearly, even though this woman spent money to buy a large dog for her grandson, she still fell victim to the scam.

However, judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to care about it.

She didn't even heed Chen Rang's instructions, only asking him to get the rabies vaccine and deworming done as soon as possible.
