CHAPTER 559: 379. THE FIRST CLASS OF THE SEMESTER

On the first day of returning to school, the area beneath the dormitory of the Finance Department at Jiangcheng Finance University was bustling with excitement.

Some students had returned early and were already up and about, while others were just arriving in Jiang City, waving at each other as they met at street corners.

By March in Jiang City, the highest temperatures were already nearing twenty degrees.

In this season of warm spring blossoms, the flowers hadn’t quite bloomed yet, but the sceneries extended beyond just outside the window.

At the tennis court in the early morning, a pair of senior sports students were training, dressed in tight-fitting outfits, their skin tanned and tones visible in the sunlight.

Their smashing moves were vigorous, and even their actions of wiping sweat were crisp, capturing the attention of every passing boy who couldn’t take their eyes off them.

Youth is the best scenery.

It wasn’t just these that caught the eye; a purely white Maserati drove into campus. Even without the roar of a sports car, it had nearly captured most people’s attention from afar.

It was Zhou Sinin returning to school.

She had slept at East Lake Tianyue the previous night, parking her car in the nearby parking area.

The main boulevard of the campus was bustling; students who hadn’t seen each other for a whole semester warmly greeted each other, and the queue in front of the cafeteria stretched right out the door.

Some impatient ones clumsily rushed, eager to gobble up their food within seconds.

In such a scene, there’s a unique trick to identify if a student on the road is a local from Jiang City.

Just watch to see if they can eat hot dry noodles in one hand while still hurrying along their way.

"Ning Bao, long time no see~ I missed you so much!"

Zhou Sinin dragging an empty suitcase, pushed open the door to dorm room 601 and found she wasn’t the first to arrive.

Song Wan was bending over, repeating actions from last semester’s first day, skillfully locating the broom and dustpan in the dorm, carefully cleaning the common area and balcony, and then mopping the floor till it shined.

Just as she finished, a familiar face appeared at the doorway.

"I missed you too, Wanwan, how was your holiday?"

"It was okay, blablabla..."

The girls began confiding in each other, and their conversations seemed to stretch on endlessly.

Together they cleaned the room, chatting about class gossip and New Year’s fun, unaware of how much time had passed.

"Hey! Ning Ning, you should feel the same, right?"

"What feeling?"

"Just being so eager for the semester to start, wanting to leave home and return to school as soon as possible."

Song Wan pulled Zhou Sinin by the arm, dragging her downstairs to a nearby campus supermarket for supplies.

"You don’t like holidays?"

"Not at all! I miss my boyfriend! Aren’t you also struggling with a long-distance relationship?"

Song Wan chuckled, always the cheerful type of girl who seldom kept anything secret and spoke her mind directly.

Regarding Zhou Sinin’s relationship issues, most in dorm room 601 were somewhat aware.

At this age, which couple doesn’t argue when they’re in love?

Out of deep sisterly friendship as roommates, naturally, when Zhou Sinin argued with her boyfriend, her roommates would side with their little princess.

But, just so happens, her boyfriend is Lu Jincheng.

This guy is quite famous, even Jiangcheng Finance University next to Nanhu University has heard of him.

The founder of Golden Stone Media, surrounded by beauties.

Truly, beauties all around.

With Lu Jincheng’s unparalleled personal abilities, his match with Zhou Sinin was unmistakably a talented and beautiful pair, uniquely perfect in the world.

Hence, they gradually looked at this matter from a rational perspective.

After the KTV incident and dining encounter with Lu Jincheng, everyone urged Zhou Sinin in unison.

"Make up quickly! I can’t wait to continue shipping you two’s relationship!"

"Ning Bao, just let it go, give it a step down....."

"Yeah, although I don’t know why you argued, but a little quarrel under the bed, make up above the pillows with kisses and hugs, isn’t it okay?"

"Alright, you, enjoying the spectacle too much."

Throughout the whole holiday, everyone occasionally brought up the little princess’s love progress in their dorm group chat.

From breaking the ice, to re-adding each other’s contacts, opening up slowly, to eventually talking about almost anything.

Finally, reconnecting through physical interaction and intimacy in Shanghai, they made up.

Though she wouldn’t tell her roommates the details, like the core reason for their argument being that backstabbing best friend Guan Yongyi.

This truth was hard to express.

But everyone still heard that the first thing Zhou Sinin did upon landing in Jiang City was Lu Jincheng picking her up at the airport and taking her to the city center.

She seemed destined to always be spoiled like this.

"It was okay."

As they discussed this, Zhou Sinin stuck out her tongue: "He flew over to Shanghai to hang out with me during the holiday, so the pain of long-distance isn’t really that bad, hahaha..."

"Ah, it’s great to have money like you two."

Song Wan’s eyes lowered, a hint of melancholy in her tone.

"I wanted to visit my boyfriend too, but when I calculated, the lucky money wasn’t enough for a plane ticket, even the green train, too many days, my parents wouldn’t have allowed it."

She spread her hands, expressing her helplessness.

"Huh? Just have him come to see you then."

Zhou Sinin blinked her eyes.

"It’s not very... convenient for him either."

"It’s okay, we’ve finally gotten through it!"

Zhou Sinin, adept at reading the room, noted Song Wan’s reluctance to talk further, and quickly changed the subject to encouragement.

"By the way, I might move some things to live outside these days, as I mentioned before with everyone."

"Ah ah ah? You’re moving out?"

Song Wan immediately widened her eyes, grabbed Zhou Sinin’s arm, and raised her voice.

"Living with your boyfriend? You’re just a freshman... Romantic cohabitation?"

"No, no."

Zhou Sinin couldn’t help but blush, speaking softly, "I will still occasionally come back to stay..."

"Do you really have to rent a place? Isn’t getting a room near campus enough?"

Song Wan asked gossipy questions.

"It’s not that."

Zhou Sinin shook her head again, hesitated, and decided to voice the truth.

"Because... my boyfriend bought a house for me."

"Wow! Really?"

Song Wan was completely unable to hide her shock this time, nearly dropping her tissue.

This is freshman year!

A freshman, buying a house, gifting it to his girlfriend.

These few seemingly unrelated terms instantly appeared in her mind, blurring the line between reality and fantasy.

Does Zhou Sinin really live in the same dorm room as me?
