Chapter 727: 233: How did she receive the invitation?_3
“You’re too modest!” Mila looked at Viola, “I don’t know anyone here, can we become good friends?”
“Of course.” Viola nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, Mila said excitedly, “That’s great!”
She had finally made her first good friend in a foreign land.
And such a beautiful Asian girl too!
Mila, a lively and cheerful girl, suddenly remembered something and took out a bag of snacks from her backpack. “Viola, this is a specialty from our hometown: Ewik ham. It’s delicious! Have a try.”
“Thank you.” Viola took the ham from Mila and had a bite.
Mila expectantly asked, “How does it taste?”
“Very good.” Viola smiled with her eyes.
“Really?” Mila felt like she finally found a kindred spirit for a friend.
She had shared her ham with others before, but most of them had shown aversion.
Only Viola had given such high praise.
“I have more here, let me give you some.” Mila took out half of her ham to share with Viola.
Viola also shared her snacks with Mila.
“These are melon seeds, a specialty from Sinian Country.”
Mila had never seen melon seeds before and asked curiously, “How do you eat this?”
Viola cracked one open by hand, “Just eat the inside seed.”
Mila followed suit and cracked a melon seed.
Viola laughed, “Actually, it’s more fun to crack them with your teeth, but it’s not very polite on an airplane. I’ll show you when we get there.”
“Sounds great!” Mila, a true food-lover, dreamed of trying delicious dishes from all around the world. Continuing, she said, “I heard that once we get to Capital University, they’ll assign us dormitories. Friends can live together; otherwise, we’ll be put into random groups. How about we live together?”
“Sure,” Viola nodded.
Mila was very happy, “Viola, do you know anyone else?”
Viola shook her head slightly.
Mila said, “I don’t know anyone else either. You’re the first friend I’ve made. I hope we both pass the preliminary test. By the way, have you thought about which major you’ll choose if you pass the preliminaries?”
Viola hadn’t really thought about it.
After all, she had chosen to attend university solely to fulfill her unfulfilled wish from her past life.
“I can study anything,” Viola replied.
Mila nodded, “I want to study nuclear engineering and nuclear technology. How about we study the same thing?”
Viola happened to be interested in nuclear weapons as well.
Before, when learning about Sinian culture’s story of friendship upon hearing the pines and water, their understanding was limited.
She didn’t understand why Bo Ya would destroy his zither upon Zi Qi’s death.
Now she knew that familiar expressions like “instant rapport” and “meeting lamenting” didn’t apply only to romantic relationships.
Soon, it was half past eleven.
The original takeoff time was supposed to be at 11:30 a.m.
But the plane still hadn’t taken off.
The students onboard were growing extremely impatient.
Viola remained calm, placing a newspaper over her face and leaning back in her seat to sleep.
They’d arrive sooner or later anyway; she wasn’t in a rush.
Overcome with curiosity, Mila went with the crowd to find out what was going on.
In no time, Mila returned.
Excitedly, she exclaimed, “Viola! I found out what’s happening!”
“What’s going on?” Viola pulled the newspaper down, revealing her delicate, beautiful eyes. In a single glance, she was captivating.
Mila continued, “Apparently, there are four VIP students in first class! One of them is Haruna Yukawa, the daughter of the Jaban Country’s president. She must have been delayed for some reason, which is why our plane hasn’t taken off.”
Mila looked envious and said, “Being a VIP student is so great; even Capital University’s plane has to wait for her!”
Why couldn’t she have been a VIP student?
Viola smiled, “There are many who envy you as well.”
Being invited to Capital University was already an achievement beyond most people’s dreams.
She hadn’t planned on attending Capital University; she just happened to receive their invitation.
