Because she had already enrolled, Lin Xiaoguai was just at the school to set up her bedding and personal items. Of course, considering that classes were starting tomorrow, she was also there to establish a good relationship with her future roommates. She planned to move in today.
"Room 406, it’s this way!" Shen Chi was the first to find Lin Xiaoguai’s future dorm room.
Pushing open the door of 406, there was no one inside, but two of the four beds were already taken, apparently just temporarily vacated.
The dormitories at Capital University were naturally much better than those at the Medical College in the provincial city. At the very least, the curtains were ready-made, the closets were large, and there was a desk for each person. There was even a bathroom attached to each dorm room. Although the facilities were rudimentary and there were no showers, there were sinks and toilets, and everything looked very clean. There was even an old-fashioned ceiling fan.
The taken beds were both bottom bunks. Lin Xiaoguai surveyed the room and chose the upper bunk on the left. She wiped it with her finger and, finding it spotlessly clean, immediately smiled and said, "It seems someone has already cleaned here."
"Give me the bedding and mosquito net, I’ll make the bed," said Shen Chi. He was worried his wife might accidentally fall from up there.
Lin Xiaoguai handed him the blue checkered bedding and mosquito net she had prepared in advance and instructed, "Be careful."
As Shen Chi climbed up to make the bed, Lin Xiaoguai began to neatly arrange her basin, toothbrush, towel, and other items. Ping’an was also able to lend a hand, and even Little Niangao eagerly helped place the shoes she brought.
Once everything was in order, Shen Chi looked at the sky and said, "I’m taking the kids back now. Remember to call if there’s anything, and let me know when you get your class schedule."
Lin Xiaoguai nodded, "I’ve prepared all of Little Niangao’s clothes for daycare. Don’t forget to take them with you on his first day."
"No need to mention it. You’ll be coming home on Friday and Saturday anyway. I’m free this whole week, and Little Niangao won’t be going to daycare until next week."
Lin Xiaoguai slapped her forehead. How could she have forgotten that?
According to Shen Chi’s plan, he wasn’t intending to leave at this moment. After all, he should meet Wanwan’s roommates and make it known that "the belle had an owner," to be at ease. But with kids around, especially with Ping’an there, there were some things he preferred not to say.
Well, there would be other opportunities in the future.
Once Shen Chi left with the two children, Lin Xiaoguai, seeing that it was still early, sat at the desk and began reading a book.
She became so engrossed in the book that gradually she even forgot about time.
The beautiful and elegant woman sat gracefully, gently holding a book, her expression tender and focused. The soft light of the setting sun shone on her, making her appear to radiate with a holy glow.
Zhu Huixi pushed open the door and was momentarily entranced by this scene.
Not until Lin Xiaoguai felt the persistent gaze and turned her head did Zhu Huixi come back to her senses and smile, "Hello, I’m your roommate, Zhu Huixi." She thought to herself that she had always considered herself pretty, but it wasn’t until she saw her new classmate that she realized there were levels beyond her own beauty.
Lin Xiaoguai covertly observed Zhu Huixi: she was not tall, with a petite and exquisite figure, but with quite a lovely face. With her oval face, willowy brows over almond-shaped eyes, a small nose, and cherry lips, she was a very classic beauty with a serene and clear-eyed look that hinted at a steady personality.
"Hello, I’m Lin Xiaoguai. I look forward to your support in the coming year," Lin Xiaoguai said as she stood up, putting her book away.
The two exchanged smiles with a very favorable first impression of each other.
"Besides us, there should be another roommate who has already arrived, right? How come I haven’t seen her?" Lin Xiaoguai took the initiative to ask.
"I haven’t met her either, but it seems she arrived yesterday. According to the dorm auntie, she only came to set up her bed and then left for her relatives’ house. She won’t be back until tomorrow," Zhu Huixi replied while setting down her newly-bought toothbrush and towel.
"So it’s just the two of us today?" Lin Xiaoguai smiled.
"Yes," Zhu Huixi replied then asked, "Are you going out to eat? Shall we go together?"
Nowadays, university cafeterias didn’t have meal cards, but they did require meal tickets. Since there were no classes yet, they didn’t have meal tickets and thus couldn’t dine at the school cafeteria.
"That would be great," Lin Xiaoguai answered.
Leaving aside how Lin Xiaoguai was getting along with her future classmates and how Shen Chi felt lonely taking the kids home, on the other side in the hospital, Han Kuang had just woken up and was immediately grilled by his daughter.
