Huayu: That year, I withdrew from the Super Boy competition.

Like most parents across the country, Su Wei's parents originally wanted to accompany him to Beijing.

However, he refused.

It wasn't that he didn't want his parents to go, but he knew that his dad was usually busy with work and often worked overtime, so he simply couldn't spare much time.

My mom is taking on the role of homeroom teacher this year, and she's been incredibly busy before and after the start of the school year.

Preparing lessons and managing students are both equally demanding, leaving no time for each other.

What's more, he was in his thirties in his previous life, and he's traveled to so many places by himself over the past month.

From the south to the northwest, and then to the north, I've traveled on green-skinned trains and long-distance buses.

I already have enough experience going out, and I can handle things perfectly well on my own.

Seeing the determination in his eyes and considering his growth over this period, his parents ultimately gave up their insistence.

I just kept reminding him to be careful on the way and to let me know when he got to school.

On the day of his departure, his parents took him to the airport.

Su Wei waved, slung his backpack over his shoulder, turned and walked into the airport, embarking alone on another journey that belonged to him.

…………

Su Wei took an early morning flight and arrived in Beijing around noon.

As he exited the terminal, the sunlight was blinding. He pulled his suitcase, got into a taxi, and told the driver his destination.

The car made several turns before finally arriving at its destination.

Su Wei stood at the school gate and glanced inside. It felt completely different from the last time she came.

Last time he came to take the art exam, he was nervous and everything seemed unattainable.

This time it's different; he's one of them now.

Once inside the school gate, the first thing to do is find the new student registration area.

The registration process is very simple: submit your materials, verify your information, and sign to confirm.

In less than twenty minutes, he successfully obtained the dormitory key and campus card.

Carrying her suitcase, Su Wei followed the signs to find her dormitory building.

The Beijing Film Academy campus is not large and the roads are well-organized, but the buildings on campus are all very similar in style, which can easily confuse a newcomer.

He paused briefly at the intersection, looking at the building signs to find his way, when a clear female voice rang out beside him.

"Excuse me, can't find the place? Do you need any help?"

Su Weiyi turned her head and saw a girl with a refreshing figure and lively eyes.

She was looking at him gently, with a kind expression.

"Sorry to bother you, senior, I really can't find the dormitory building."

Su Wei quickly responded and gave her dormitory building number.

In the brief moment between their conversations, Su Wei got a clear look at the girl's face, and a slight stirring ran through her heart.

Kan Qingzi.

He didn't know much about the actress, but he remembered her name and her future fame.

At this time, she did not yet have the bright and flamboyant presence she would later display on screen. She possessed the unique naivety and purity of a student, yet her foundation was already outstanding enough, and one could easily see the potential for her future.

Although Su Wei was surprised, she did not show it on her face and still wore a gentle and calm smile.

Even the brightest future is still a matter for the future.

Right now, she's just an ordinary college student.

Kan Qingzi felt a little strange about Su Wei's brief moment of distraction.

She could sense that the boy had been staring at her for a few seconds.

The look in his eyes didn't seem like the unfamiliarity of a first meeting, but rather like that of someone he had known for a long time.

However, Su Wei adjusted very quickly and returned to normal in an instant.

Unsure for a moment, she decided to stop thinking about it and turned to lead the way.

The two walked one in front of the other, remaining silent and somewhat awkward.

Su Wei took the initiative to break the atmosphere:

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, senior?"

Kan Qingzi turned around upon hearing the sound and replied softly:

"My name is Kan Qingzi. I'm a sophomore majoring in performing arts, one year ahead of you."

Just now, from a distance, she only felt that this freshman had a tall and straight figure and outstanding looks.

Looking at him up close now, the more I look, the more familiar he seems; his eyebrows, eyes, and demeanor all carry a strong sense of familiarity.

Her gaze lingered on Su Wei's face, refusing to leave.

Su Wei felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so she casually rubbed her cheek with her hand and smiled helplessly:

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Kan Qingzi hesitated for two seconds before tentatively asking, "You...you're Su Wei?"

Su Wei was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

He never expected that even though he withdrew from the competition more than a year ago, someone would still recognize him at a glance.

The moment she received confirmation, Kan Qingzi's eyes lit up, and her voice unconsciously rose:

"I knew you looked familiar! I even voted for you last year!"

Then she rattled off a whole bunch of things.

They praised his singing skills on stage and lamented that it was a pity he withdrew from the competition, saying that many people on the internet felt that if he had persisted to the end, he would definitely have had the strength to compete for the championship.

Faced with her senior's enthusiastic praise, Su Wei didn't know how to refute it. Most of the time, she just smiled and responded, occasionally offering a few simple words.

The short walk was over quickly, and in the blink of an eye, we arrived at the boys' dormitory building.

Su Wei stopped and sincerely thanked her, "Thank you so much for showing me the way today, senior. I appreciate your help."

After saying that, he prepared to carry the suitcase upstairs.

Kan Qingzi suddenly called out to him, laughing and teasing:

"Don't rush off! Leave your phone number! If you ever want to date, I'll introduce you to a girlfriend!"

Su Wei was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, and could only give out her phone number.

Kan Qingzi had only taken two steps when she suddenly turned back, raised her phone and waved it at him, making a phone call gesture. Her eyes crinkled into a smile, making her look playful and lively.

Su Wei watched her movements, smiled, and nodded gently in acknowledgment.

Only after watching Kan Qingzi leave did he drag his suitcase upstairs.

Su Wei dragged her suitcase up to the fourth floor and found room 407.

The door was ajar, and the three people were sitting on their respective beds chatting. When they saw him come in, they all stood up.

"Hello, hello, are you in this dorm too?"

Su Wei put down the box and greeted everyone one by one.

There were three people: Dou Xiao, Zhang Zhuoran, and Chen Mo.

Zhang Zhuoran is a native of Beijing and speaks with a Beijing accent, while Chen Mo is from Shanghai and speaks in a slightly softer tone.

Dou Xiao's accent was undetectable.

I later learned that his whole family had immigrated to Canada when he was young.

Su Wei glanced at Dou Xiao a couple of times.

My heart skipped a beat.

He recognized that face.

This guy was later chosen by Zhang Yimou to star in "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

He became a "Zhang Yimou's leading man" overnight.

Later, he played Yan Xun in "Princess Agents" and became an instant sensation.

Not to mention what happened later, when she married the gambling king's daughter.

Although his marriage to the daughter of the gambling king later caused a great uproar and was hotly discussed across the internet.

But putting aside these rights and wrongs...

Dou Xiao is indeed the most successful student among this year's Beijing Film Academy graduates.

But who would have thought that this future superstar is now sitting on the edge of his bed in dormitory 407 at Beijing Film Academy, wearing an ordinary T-shirt and slippers.

Of course, Su Wei only thought about these things in her heart.

He looked away, smiled at Dou Xiao, said "hello," and then began to make his bed.

The other three weren't idle either; they chatted casually and helped him pass things around.
