Chapter 522: Different Treatment
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In front of the children, Li Miao looked a little shy, “I put this matter on the agenda for the second half of the year, and now my job is stable.”
Li Xu nodded, “You’re not young anymore. Hurry up. If this drags on, our Zixuan will get married soon.”
Ji Zixuan, who had been cued, looked up at Li Xu awkwardly, “Mom, you guys can continue talking. Don’t pull me along.”
Just as Li Xu was about to speak, he heard Ji Zi’ang say indignantly, “Mom, why do you treat us differently?”
Li Xu looked at him, “What’s wrong? Why am 1 treating you differently?”
Ji Zi’ang looked at Ji Zixuan aggrievedly, “My brother and 1 are only two years apart. You’re urging him to get married, but you don’t want me to date. Isn’t this discrimination?”
Hearing this, Li Xu and the others all laughed.
“Wait, Ji Zi’ang, are you in love?” As she laughed, Li Xu realized something and looked at Ji Zi’ang with a serious expression.
When Ji Zi’ang heard this, he was stunned. Then, he quickly shook his head, “How is that possible? There are only a few girls in our class. Even if 1 want to date, there’s no one.”
His words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but his eyes were obviously a little guilty.
“Don’t lie to me. Who says that you have to date your classmates?” Li Xu still looked at Ji Zi’ang with suspicion.
“Alright, alright. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk about him in the future. Let’s talk about something else today.” Zhang Kun quickly helped him out.
Li Xu came back to her senses and glanced at Ji Zi’ang. She whispered, “1’11 interrogate you when we get back.”
After saying that, she came back to her senses and turned to talk to Li Miao and the others about something else.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun stayed in B City until September 3rd. Early that morning, they brought Ji Yuanyuan to report to school.
On the first day of school, the campus was very lively.
At the school gate, there were seniors who were responsible for welcoming the new students.
A Senior led Ji Yuanyuan to the registration area. After settling the procedures and getting the dormitory key, she went to get the blanket, bed sheets, military training uniform, and other necessities.
Ji Zi’ang followed behind with a huge pile of things in his arms.
“If 1 had known, I would have asked Big Brother to come over too. I’m so tired.” Ji Zi’ang mumbled.
Ji Zixuan was a famous senior, and his photo was always on various lists.
Many students from B University knew him.
In order not to let others recognize him, Ji Yuanyuan did not let him come today.
Anyway, the items weren’t considered as being more than what they could carry.
Hearing his words, Ji Yuanyuan turned around and said, “Why don’t you give me this bag? 1 can carry it.”
Ji Zi’ang was indeed quite tired. He had a lot of things in his hands.
As she spoke, she reached out to take the large luggage bag from his hand.
Ji Zi’ang was just saying it, so he quickly refused, “No need, no need. Just watch the road in front. How can 1 let you take it?”
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before extending his hand, “Give it to me. It’s just a bag. 1 can carry it.”
Ji Zi’ang dodged Ji Yuanyuan’s hand, “It’s not a matter of whether you can carry it or not.”
“Then what’s the problem?” Ji Yuanyuan asked in a somewhat strange manner.
Ji Zi’ang smiled mysteriously, “This concerns your image.”
Ji Ziang’s words became more and more profound, and Ji Yuanyuan did not quite understand.
How did this have anything to do with her image?
“What do you mean?”
“Think about it. If our family carries big and small bags in our hands, what will your classmates think when they see us?” Ji Zi’ang asked while panting heavily.
“What else can they think? They were all ordinary people, so they probably wouldn’t leave much of an impression on the first day we met.” Ji Yuanyuan said.
“That’s right. If you also carry bags, then in their eyes, you’re just an ordinary person. However, if you don’t bring anything yourself, they will know that you are our family’s treasure. Our family will work themselves to death and not bear to let you carry anything. In the future, if they had a conflict with you and wanted to bully you, they would have to think twice. Whoever dares to touch our family’s baby, our family will risk their lives.”
Ji Zi’ang finished his sentence in a long and eloquent manner. Ji Yuanyuan felt that his train of thought was a little strange.
How could he think of so many things about such a small matter?
Just like what she had said earlier, everyone met a lot of people and did a lot of things on the day of school.
Many people and things would not leave an impression at all.
Even with a few roommates, it would probably take a few days to recognize each other.
“Alright…” Ji Yuanyuan was about to speak.
Li Xu nodded thoughtfully, “What Zi’ang said makes sense. Yuanyuan, you walk in front, don’t worry about your Second Brother.”
Seeing that Li Xu had been convinced by Ji Zi’ang’s twisted logic, Ji Yuanyuan was forced to accept it helplessly.
She walked in front empty-handed, while Li Xu, Zhang Kun, and Ji Zi’ang walked in front with bags in their hands.
Soon, they arrived at the dormitory where Ji Yuanyuan’s class was located. Their dormitory was on the fifth floor.
The three of them carried their things and went upstairs, panting heavily.
During this period, Ji Yuanyuan repeatedly offered to help share some of the burdens, but the three of them refused.
Just like that, the four of them soon arrived at the door of Ji Yuanyuan’s dormitory.
Ji Yuanyuan had thought she had arrived early enough. Who knew that after entering the dormitory, she would realize there were already two young ladies in the four-person dormitory?
They had all brought their families with them, and the small dormitory was filled with people.
They were not familiar with each other, so they nodded at each other and went about their own business.
The layout of the dormitory was a bed and a desk. There was a corridor in the middle, and there were two beds on each side. There was a separate bathroom near the door.
There was a window on the other side. There was no balcony, but the window faced south. There was a clothes pole outside the window, so clothes could be hung outside to dry.
The window seat could see the sunlight and was very airy, so it was naturally considered a good seat.
The two beds near the door were also close to the bathroom, so the smell might be stronger.
Therefore, the seat by the window had already been taken.
Ji Yuanyuan chose a bed that was slightly further away from the washroom. Just as she was about to let Ji Zi’ang and the rest put the things on it, she suddenly noticed a black mark on the edge of the bed.
It was as if something had been stuck on it and torn off, but the glue was left on it.
Ji Yuanyuan frowned and looked at the trash can.
Sure enough, there was a universe in the trash can.
There were a few small labels inside with words written on them.
Several pieces of paper were crumpled into a ball, and the words on them were already blurred.
However, one could still tell that there was the word ‘Ji’ in it.
Ji Yuanyuan didn’t say a word and only whispered, “Don’t put the things away yet. I’ll go next door to take a look.”
With that, he lowered his head and left the dormitory.
Although Li Xu and the rest did not know what Ji Yuanyuan was up to, they still waited obediently.
After a while, Ji Yuanyuan returned with a mysterious smile on her face as she looked at the other people in the dormitory..
