When the connecting flight finally landed, Yue Qingqing couldn’t help but sigh.
"I never expected so many things to happen on a flight."
As soon as she turned on her phone, it buzzed non-stop with messages from home.
Just as Yue Qingqing was about to reply, her phone rang.
"Qingqing, are you okay? I heard there was an incident with a plane at the airport, something about an engine problem. Were you guys affected? I tried calling you continuously, but I couldn’t get through. You should have arrived two hours ago."
When Yue Qingqing said that it was their plane that had the problem, Zhang Ying gasped.
Yue Jiandong’s comforting voice came from the other end, "Don’t cry, everything’s alright. They’re in Beijing now."
Zhang Ying sobbed twice, and Yue Jiandong took the phone.
"Qingqing, you guys are in Beijing, right?"
"Yes, please tell mom not to worry. We’re all fine."
"Your mom has been on edge since she heard the news. She’s been calling every few minutes and can’t sit still."
Yue Qingqing was worried about this happening at the airport, so she hadn’t informed her family.
Unexpectedly, the news spread so quickly.
Indeed, with mobile phones, news spreads much faster than face-to-face conversations.
After a few more comforting words from Yue Qingqing, Zhang Ying finally calmed down and took back the phone to repeatedly warn her daughter to be careful.
Worried that her daughter might encounter danger elsewhere.
A mother’s concern knows no bounds.
It took a lot to hang up the phone, and Yue Qingqing put her phone back in her backpack.
Jiang Jingze had already arranged a car to pick them up, but he hadn’t expected it to be delayed by two hours.
When they arrived at the school and Yue Qingqing just got out of the car, many welcoming students were already standing at the school gate.
The boys among them lit up at the sight of Yue Qingqing.
They eagerly wanted to push others aside to get to her.
They hit the jackpot, didn’t expect such a beautiful junior in the new batch.
However, before anyone could approach, Jiang Jingze got out from the other side of the car.
He coolly swept his gaze around.
His gaze instantly chilled the atmosphere.
The eager senior boys immediately became well-behaved, while many girls started whispering.
"Senior Jiang Jingze? He’s a school celebrity. What’s the relationship between that girl and him?"
"I heard the campus belle has been chasing Senior Jiang for years. So, he has a girlfriend now?"
"If the campus belle finds out someone else got to him first, won’t she be furious? What’s that girl’s background?"
Yue Qingqing heard all these discussions and smiled at Jiang Jingze.
Although Jiang Jingze’s hearing wasn’t as sharp as his girlfriend’s, he caught bits and pieces.
His usually stern face showed a hint of helplessness.
"She has nothing to do with me. I’ve never paid attention to her."
Seeing him looking like he had done something wrong, eyes downcast, wanting to explain but not knowing how, Yue Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh.
"Don’t worry. It only means I have good taste since the person I’m interested in is popular."
Yue Qingqing would never argue with him over something so trivial.
Jiang Jingze finally breathed a sigh of relief, took their luggage from the car, and moved closer to assert his territory.
The two of them walked towards the school together.
Since they arrived early, registration officially started the day after tomorrow.
Jiang Jingze decided to help Yue Qingqing put her things in the dorm first, then they would tour the campus together.
"Building 12, we’ve arrived."
Yue Qingqing carried her luggage upstairs, with Jiang Jingze following her into the dorm lobby.
He spoke with the dormitory supervisor teacher about helping Yue Qingqing unpack.
Since it was the start of the school year, the dormitory supervisor teacher made an exception and let them in with a smile.
"But make it quick, finish and come down soon."
Yue Qingqing blushed at the comment and hurriedly followed Jiang Jingze upstairs.
Just as she pushed the door open, Yue Qingqing saw a familiar figure.
Lu Zhu was sitting on a chair and turned around to greet her.
"Another dormitory, how do you feel seeing me again?"
As she spoke, Lu Zhu’s gaze inevitably fell on Jiang Jingze.
This was her first time seeing Yue Qingqing’s rumored boyfriend.
