The next day was the start of the school semester, and early morning before sunrise, Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li sent Nianyang and Jiang Tian to the bus stop by the road.
With the heavy workload of senior year, the school required students to stay on campus. After arriving in town, Nianyang and Jiang Tian first went to the supply store to buy daily necessities.
The two of them carried large bags into the senior class building, encountering many familiar classmates along the way.
Over the two-month summer holiday, Nianyang had gone through a transformation like a makeover. As they say, fair skin can hide many flaws, and Nianyang’s features were already delicate. Regaining her fair complexion made her look like an energetic little fairy.
Additionally, she wore a stylish sea-blue checkered long dress today. Her hair was styled in a fluffy and beautiful floral bun on top of her head, with airy bangs that were trendy in the future, looking incredibly exquisite.
Compared to her previous timid and shabby appearance, it was a world of difference!
So, even when the classmates saw Nianyang, they didn’t recognize her, thinking instead, was this the new little beauty transferred to their senior class this year?
With unflinching calmness towards the glances from those around, Nianyang pulled Jiang Tian to first check the dormitory class assignment list on the bulletin board.
Due to the preliminary elimination of hundreds of students, the entire senior class was reallocated, and Jiang Tian and Nianyang were coincidentally assigned to the same class and dormitory.
"This is great, Yangyang! Now we can be inseparable!" Jiang Tian was extremely happy. She was introverted and lonely without friends in her previous class.
Now, being assigned together with Nianyang, she suddenly looked forward to the upcoming senior year life.
Nianyang was also delighted; having Jiang Tian’s company was much better than being all alone.
The two girls happily went to the dormitory, and upon entering, they found two classmates already there making their beds. Nianyang and Jiang Tian knew them; they were from the class next door before, and they didn’t expect to be grouped together now.
"Jiang Tian, it’s you! Who would have thought we’d be in the same dorm and class? What a coincidence!"
The girl speaking was named Luo Lanzhen, an outgoing person who often asked Nianyang and Jiang Tian to go to the bathroom with her during breaks. Jiang Tian and Nianyang had a good impression of her.
"Yes, please take care of each other in the senior year ahead." As she spoke, Jiang Tian pulled Nianyang and chose the back bunk bed, with her sleeping on top and Nianyang below.
"Jiang Tian, who is this girl? Haven’t seen her before. Is she new?" Luo Lanzhen’s gaze fell on Nianyang, somewhat envious of how pretty she looked.
Jiang Tian was momentarily stunned and then burst into laughter, "Luo Lanzhen, are you silly? This is my cousin Yangyang. Can’t you recognize her?"
"What did you say? This is Gu Nianyang?"
Luo Lanzhen was so shocked that she jumped off the bed.
"You’re Gu Nianyang? How did you become so fair?"
Another girl with freckles on her face, who hadn’t planned to interact with Jiang Tian and Nianyang, also stared incredulously.
Nianyang knew this girl; her name was Li Mei. She had a face full of freckles and was often ridiculed, leading to a somewhat shy and gloomy personality.
Nianyang knew her not out of sympathy but because Li Mei was Yang Haiyan’s sidekick, often slavishly listening to Yang Haiyan to get snacks from her, which made Nianyang dislike her.
"So, do you want me to pull out my ID to verify my identity?" Nianyang said with a smile to Luo Lanzhen.
"Wow, Gu Nianyang, how did you become so beautiful? Where did you buy your dress? It’s really nice! And your hairstyle, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a nice style. How did you do it?"
