A senior student is helping freshmen carry their luggage and taking them to registration.
"Senior, you're so kind."
"Are you tired, senior? How about we take turns carrying it?"
"Hey, senior, I have a lot of stuff, thank you so much."
".."
Chai Shuqing looked away, puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Junior Sister Chai Shuqing." Xia Jin put her arm around her shoulder. "Look at that junior sister, she calls me 'senior sister' so sweetly. I'm giving you one-on-one service, and you still call me by my full name?"
Chai Shuqing: "..."
Xia Jin was efficient and familiar with the process. In less than twenty minutes, she helped her complete the registration process and obtain her campus card, meal card, water card, and so on.
Next, we need to go to the large classroom in another building to pick up our military training uniforms, and then we can go to the dormitory building.
Seeing that Xia Jin even knew the exact location of her classroom, Chai Shuqing believed that she was a sophomore.
She was still a little shocked by Xia Jin's skipping a grade in high school.
The large classroom is on the first floor, and the corridors are full of students.
Xia Jin looked her over and went inside to pick out military training uniforms and shoes in the correct size for her.
"Try it on." Xia Jin handed her the clothes.
Chai Shuqing took off her backpack and placed it on top of her suitcase: "Try it here?"
"Just try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn't, I'll go get you a different size."
"oh."
Chai Shuqing opened the transparent bag, took out the green military training uniform inside, and put it on.
The fabric of the clothes was not very good; it was a bit itchy, and the collar made Chai Shuqing's neck itchy, so much so that she couldn't help but scratch her neck a few times while adjusting the clothes.
Her neck was very white, and several faint red scratch marks were immediately visible. Xia Jin helped her tidy it up, gently stroking her neck a few times with her fingertips.
The two were very close, and Xia Jin's breath sprayed onto Chai Shuqing's cheek. Chai Shuqing's fingers, which were holding the camouflage uniform, paused for a moment, and an indescribable strange feeling welled up in her heart.
The corridor was hot and noisy. After trying on the clothes and pants, Xia Jin thoughtfully rolled up the pant legs for her, then squatted down and let her put her feet in.
Chai Shuqing was glad she wasn't wearing a skirt today, otherwise it would have been inconvenient to try it on.
She hesitated for a moment, then put her foot in.
The clothes and pants fit perfectly, but the shoes are too big.
Xia Jin took the shoes to change her shoes.
The entrance to the large classroom was crowded with freshmen picking out military training uniforms, creating a noisy and chaotic scene, and the air in the corridor was not circulating.
Chai Shuqing looked around and noticed that some senior students were helping several new students register, and when they got to the large classroom, the new students had to squeeze in themselves to choose their own clothes and sizes, and try them on to see if they fit. Unlike Xia Jin, who provided a one-stop service, even helping her try on her military training uniform.
Chai Shuqing was barefoot on one foot, standing on one leg and leaning against the wall, letting the crowd pass by.
She's overthinking things.
Even though they've already fallen out, why is Xia Jin still being so nice to her?
Xia Jin brought the shoes over and let her try them on; this time, they finally fit perfectly.
She carried a backpack and held her military training uniform in her hands, following Xia Jin to the dormitory building.
On the way, I met several upperclassmen who were also helping freshmen.
The journey was so quiet that Chai Shuqing couldn't stand it.
She made conversation by asking, "Xia... cough, senior, why are all the other seniors wearing volunteer vests, but you're not?"
Xia Jin walked ahead carrying her suitcase: "It's hot, I don't want to wear it."
"Look, everyone else is wearing it, but you're not..."
Xia Jin stopped in her tracks, and Chai Shuqing almost bumped into her back before stopping as well.
The other person had a sharp and handsome face. From the brow bone to the bridge of the nose and then to the lips, a wavy line formed the contours of the face. The skin was firm and fair in the sunlight. When the eyes turned to look at her, it was a gentle gaze, but there was a hint of indescribable evil in the depths of the eyes.
In junior high school, Xia Jin was a "famous figure" that no one in the school dared to mess with. Now she looks much more mature than before, but her eyes are still extremely lethal.
Chai Shuqing paused for a moment, her throat bobbing as she said, "I was just asking."
Xia Jin chuckled softly, but the smile, given her overall demeanor, carried an unexpected air of indifference, like a cool-toned perfume.
"Junior, you don't know this, but the freshman class is huge, and the school is short-staffed. If I put on a volunteer's uniform, wouldn't a lot of freshmen come to me for help? Would you still be able to enjoy the one-on-one service you have now?"
Chapter 54 Chai Shuqing & Xia Yan Extra Part 2
Dormitory buildings stand tall under the blue sky, with a few clouds seemingly resting on their rooftops.
Chai Shuqing gave a soft "oh," then pointed to the long staircase separating them from the dormitory building: "Isn't there any other way to get there?"
"Yes." Xia Jin had already stepped up one step.
Chai Shuqing followed: "Then let's take another route. There are so many steps, how long will it take to climb?"
Do you see that building?
“Building C9,” Chai Shuqing read aloud, glancing at the small white sticker on her water card. “I live in this building.”
“So, this is the shortest route.” Xia Jin paused for a moment: “Taking the other route also involves going uphill, and it’s much longer.”
The suitcase wheels were useless on the stairs, and Chai Shuqing was well aware of the weight of her suitcase. So she crammed her military training uniform into her backpack and said to Xia Jin, "How about I carry half the way and you carry the other half? That way it won't be too tiring. Or, I can carry one section and you can carry the other, taking turns."
Xia Jin took off her baseball cap and fanned herself, then placed the cap on Chai Shuqing's head: "Carry it together."
"How can we carry these together?"
Xia Jin raised her chin.
Chai Shuqing reached out and grabbed the suitcase handle. Xia Jin then placed her hand over. The handle was not very wide, and their hands were almost touching.
"That will do it."
It was eight minutes later when I climbed the last step.
Whether it was from the heat or something else, Chai Shuqing's palms were sweaty, and she wiped them on the hem of her clothes.
When they arrived at the dormitory building, Chai Shuqing took her suitcase and was about to turn around when she seemed to remember something. She returned the baseball cap to Xia Jin and thanked her.
Xia Jin waved her phone at her.
"What?" Chai Shuqing asked.
"A verbal thank you is nothing. Let me add you on WeChat so you can properly thank me."
Chai Shuqing put down her suitcase and walked up to her: "I feel like you're messing with me, oh no, not feeling, you are messing with me."
"I'll take you to the registration office, help you with your luggage, and take you to your dorm. I'll even ask you to treat me to a meal later. Is that not allowed?" Xia Jin crossed her arms.
Chai Shuqing opened WeChat on her phone, showing her a QR code to scan: "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal."
After adding each other on WeChat, Chai Shuqing went into the dormitory building.
She lives on the sixth floor; thank goodness there's an elevator.
Dormitory 602.
When Chai Shuqing went in, her other three roommates had already arrived.
Everyone greeted each other and got to know one another.
The girl in the bed next to hers was named Xiao Feifei. She was very gentle-looking and spoke in a soft, delicate voice.
The girl in the bed opposite mine is named Si Tang. She has wavy hair and her table is covered with various cosmetics and skincare products. She is a sophisticated and fashionable person.
The remaining roommate has a short, princess-cut hairstyle, is very tall, is from the north, and her name is Jiang You.
Chai Shuqing tried hard to remember their names and characteristics.
Because Xiao Feifei's bed was right next to hers, Xiao Feifei also wiped down her bed, cabinets, table, and chairs, so Chai Shuqing didn't have to lift a finger.
She thanked Xiao Feifei, who replied gently, "You're welcome."
Chai Shuqing opened her suitcase and unpacked all her belongings.
He then sat down in a chair, picked up his phone, and texted Chai Qianning to let her know: "Arrived at the dorm."
Chai Qianning: [You finished pretty quickly.]
Chai Shuqing: [When you went to university, did you need to inform your mother about when you arrived at your dorm?]
Chai Qianning: [No need.]
Chai Shuqing: [Then why do I need to report to you?]
Chai Qianning: [Because you have an older sister, you should feel happy about that!]
Chai Shuqing: [...]
Since her home is local, she can easily go back home to get whatever she needs. So she only brought summer clothes and a few long-sleeved shirts. With plenty of space left in her suitcase, she packed a thin blanket and a towel. All she needs to do next is buy a sleeping mat, a toothbrush, and the like.
Yao Yunqi messaged her at this moment: 【Have you finished reporting?】
Chai Shuqing: [Okay, all done. What about you?]
Yao Yunqi: [I'm at my dorm. I need to buy some daily necessities later. Do you want to come with me? My dorm is in Building C8.]
Chai Shuqing typed her dormitory building number to the other party, and then thought about it in her mind. If it was Building C8, it seemed to be the one in front of her? That would be right across from her.
She stood up, and the chair was pushed back a short distance.
Si Tang was a very outgoing person. She called out to Chai Shuqing, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'm going downstairs to buy some food later. Do you want me to bring it back for you?"
"No need, thank you. I have to go down soon too," Chai Shuqing replied.
Then Si Tang went to ask Jiang You and Xiao Feifei.
Chai Shuqing emptied the contents of her backpack, crumpled her green military training uniform into a ball, and placed it on the side of the table. She took out her shoulder bag, put some things in it, slung it over her shoulder, and went out.
When Chai Shuqing arrived at the dormitory building, she immediately saw Yao Yunqi playing with her phone under the streetlight by the flower bed. When she saw her, Yao Yunqi pressed the side of her phone and put it away.
