Chapter 527: Sending Off the Freshman King, Welcoming the Top Scorer
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone knew the value of independent enrollment, especially when it came to a top scorer like the freshman king.
“Don’t forget, this year’s top scorer in the college entrance examination is also from our Physics department, named Wen, I think. With a score of 749, just one point shy of a perfect score. I wonder who’s more impressive between these two big shots.”
“The Physics department’s reputation is really soaring this year. No wonder other departments are so envious. I heard that Director Tang was even targeted during yesterday’s meeting!”
As everyone discussed Wen Xin, Wen Huai walked alone with his luggage from the direction of the main gate. He wore a black mask, looking quite low-key.
“Hello, seniors. I’m here to register as a freshman. Is this where the documents are?”
Wen Huai’s outstanding appearance quickly attracted the admiration of his senior sisters, one of whom graciously handed him the registration roster and then passed him a pen.
“Hello, are you alone? What’s your name? Let me check which dormitory you’ll be staying in.”
“I’m Wen Huai.”
Wen Huai registered without noticing the surprised expressions behind him when he mentioned his name. Everyone was taken aback.
A perfect-scored academic genius from independent enrollment with exceptional looks, and now a top scorer in the college entrance examination, also with remarkable looks. It was like a double blow to the ordinary folks. Too discouraging!
“I’m done with registration. Can you tell me which dormitory I’m assigned to?”
Putting down the pen, Wen Huai looked up to see several seniors staring at him blankly. He didn’t understand what was wrong with him.
“Um… it’s okay. Let me take you there. You’ll be in the seventh dormitory building.”
Saying so, a senior clumsily emerged from behind the desk, took Wen Huai’s luggage, and led him away.
“Wow, two big shots showing up at the same time. I thought one with exceptional looks was already the limit, but now. there’s another that is also extraordinarily good-looking. These two… intriguing.”
“Isn’t it? Looking at the aura of these two big shots, one cold and the other noble, our Physics department is definitely lively this time. It’s a pity we didn’t get to see their appearances; it’s really a shame.”
After seeing Wen Xin off at the dormitory entrance, the senior enthusiastically added Wen Xin on WeChat and quickly left. He was only thinking that since the junior sister already had a boyfriend, it would be impolite to disturb her further, so he hurriedly left without even asking Wen Xin’s name.
Carrying Wen Xin’s luggage, Mu Chengxi escorted her upstairs. Before entering Wen Xin’s dormitory, he couldn’t help but ask again, “Are you sure you want to stay on campus?”
Wen Xin lightly pushed aside Mu Chengxi, blocking her path. Her attitude was casual as she raised an eyebrow. “I don’t feel like staying at home for the time being. You’re too formidable; I can’t resist.”
Smiling lightly, Wen Xin brushed past the helpless Mu Chengxi and headed towards the dormitory.
The dormitory was a four-person room, bright and clean, with bunk beds and desks. Students’ names were posted on the beds.
Two classmates had already arrived earlier, their beds neatly made, but they were not in the room, probably out exploring the campus.
One of the beds had the name ” Diwu Qixian” posted on it. Wen Xin looked at this special name and couldn’t help but glance at it a few more times.
Mu Chengxi followed Wen Xin’s gaze and saw the surname “Diwu.” When he saw this surname, his eyes narrowed unconsciously.
Wen Xin’s bed was close to the balcony and near the window, a position she was quite satisfied with.
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s satisfied expression and, though somewhat helpless, didn’t force her. He began to help Wen Xin unpack.
When Wen Xin turned around, she saw Mu Chengxi sigh lightly. She chuckled, walked to Mu Chengxi’s side, and took the things from his hands.
“You seem like a resentful husband. I’m just staying on campus for a few days, and it’s not like I’m not going home. You’re funny.”
“I just don’t like being without you. It’s okay, as long as you’re happy.”
Mu Chengxi stood up, looking at Wen Xin with warmth in his eyes. Finally, he earned a roll of Wen Xin’s eyes and was ignored.
At that moment, Wen Xin’s phone rang. She placed the items in her hands on the table, took out her phone, and saw that it was a call from Tan Xingyue.
“Wen Xin, where’s your dormitory? I’m in the South Side dormitory. It seems a bit far from your Physics department dormitory. Liang Luoyu said he’s going to get an electric bike for me. He said it would be more convenient for me to visit you this way.”
Listening to Tan Xingyue’s excited voice, Wen Xin smiled gently and replied softly, “Okay, go ahead and tidy up. Let’s have lunch together at noon.”
After chatting casually with Tan Xingyue for a few more words, Wen Xin hung up. She looked at Mu Chengxi, who was making her bed, and her beautiful brows slightly furrowed, filling her heart with warmth.
That a noble young master, the crown prince of Beijing’s elite—someone who had never lifted a finger—would go to such lengths for her. If others knew, they would be shocked.
However, Mu Chengxi didn’t seem to think that taking care of her was anything out of the ordinary, and she had long grown accustomed to his care.
By the time Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin finished packing, it was already noon. Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi walked out of the dormitory just in time to meet Ling Xuer, who lived in the same building.
Ling Xuer ran excitedly to Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, politely greeting Mu Chengxi, “Uncle Mu,” then made a funny face at Wen Xin, “Sis Xin.”
Wen Xin raised her hand and gently rubbed Ling Xu’er’s head. Her voice was no longer as cold as before, speaking warmly, “Didn’t your uncle say you don’t need to stay on campus? Why did you suddenly decide to live on campus?”
“Isn’t it because of my dad? He insisted that I’ve been spoiled by Uncle Mu and become too unruly. If others can stay on campus, so can I. So I was sent to live on campus. Sis Xin, are you staying on campus too? I’m on the third floor. You’re on the fourth floor, right?”
“Yeah, on the fourth floor. Xingyue is in the South District. Let’s go have lunch together.” Wen Xin wrapped her arm around Ling Xu’er’s shoulder, took her arm, and went to find Wen Huai and Tan Xingyue, intending to meet them and go for hotpot together.
Mu Chengxi followed behind the two, replying to Wen Huai’s message, telling him to meet at the school gate to have lunch together.
Wen Xin and Ling Xuer had just stepped out of the dormitory building when Liang Luoyu approached with Tan Xingyue. Wen Xin embraced Tan Xingyue with one hand and Ling Xuer with the other. The three of them walked away, arm in arm.
Mu Chengxi and Liang Luoyu watched speechless as the three girls, led by Wen Xin, walked off together. Yet, before Liang Luoyu could say anything, Mu Chengxi followed the trio with long strides, leaving Liang Luoyu behind.
