Chapter 2: In the south, there are tall trees, and one cannot rest in thought
San Bao rushed over and clutched Wen Shaoqing's pant leg, calling out "Dear Senior Brother" due to their shared background in the medical school, expressing his admiration with tears in his eyes
Only Ji Sixuan herself knows how her heart raced like thunder when she just announced her affiliation in front of the public
The loquacious boy was entranced by her faint smile, yet she could no longer hear what the obstructive boy was saying to her; all that remained in her view was that handsome profile.
She was awakened, came to her senses, and blankly accepted an envelope handed to her by a boy, walking forward mechanically
On the way back, Qiao Yu carefully thought about it; this girl is quite interesting. Despite being so beautiful and clearly destined to be teased by others, she enjoys teasing others instead. Her charm lies in the fact that she never conceals her playful nature, with a hint of flirtation and allure emanating from her eyes and brows, making it hard to believe yet impossible to deny that one has been toyed with.
A group of people immediately burst into laughter again
The Lin and Sui families have been family friends for generations. Lin Chen and Sui Yi have known each other since childhood. When Lin Chen learned that Sui Yi had also enrolled in this university, he was excited for quite some time. In contrast, this younger sister remained quite composed.
Brother Xiao Ziyuan from the School of Mechanical Engineering, Brother Qiao Yu from the School of Architecture, this is Brother Wen Shaoqing from our college, and finally, this is my elder brother Lin Chen from the School of Law, who grew up with me
Wen Shaoqing glanced at Xiao Ziyuan and said, "Don't call him so affectionately; his surname is Sui, while yours is Lin"
Qiao Yu glanced at him, quickly regaining her composure. Just as she was about to ask a question, she was abruptly interrupted, "The student sitting on the far right, you are my type, and from now on, you will be mine."
Lin Chen sat behind the interview table, raising an eyebrow for a moment. Suddenly, he leaned closer to Qiao Yu, who was sitting next to him, and whispered in his ear, "Why does this girl look so familiar to me?"
To be honest, Qiao Yu really thought this was just a joke. He still remembers the first time he met her a few months ago, when she mischievously scared away the boy who approached her, her eyes also filled with such cunning and pride, like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank, exactly the same as today
After a long silence, Xiao Ziyuan suddenly spoke, his words concise, "Your sister... is quite special"
Qiao Yu was also surprised to see Ji Sixuan, but he quickly calmed down, smiled gently at her, and naturally withdrew his gaze from her face. He lowered his head to pick up the cup of water in front of him and took a sip, his movements natural and smooth, as if he had not taken the previous matter to heart
Wen Shaoqing tilted his head and glanced at Lin Chen, saying, "What is he secretly enjoying by himself over there?"
Still waters run deep, and that is probably just how it is
Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "I have known her since she was born. I do not have a biological younger sister; she is just like my younger sister. So, what is it really like?"
Lin Chen proactively asked, "By the way, how did my sister's interview go?"
A book, a pen, a cup of water, a silhouette, lingering for a long time
Hello, Senior Brother! How are you! As soon as I entered the school, I heard your name! I didn't expect you to be so handsome!
When Ji Sixuan pushed the door and entered, the previously quiet conference room suddenly became agitated
The girl kept staring at him without blinking, and for some reason, Qiao Yu felt a bit awkward and nervous, "Um..."
Ji Sixuan grew up with the reputation of being a beauty. She had no idea how many times she had experienced such situations, where boys would blush and stammer for a long time. As the time she had agreed upon with her senior sister approached, the boy was still talking. In her impatience, she tilted her head and caught sight of a boy sitting in the adjacent classroom, separated from her by only a thin layer of glass.
Qiao Yu sat across from her, looking bewildered and at a loss.
For several consecutive days, the beautiful Ji Damei appeared to be in a dazed state, sometimes lost in thought and at other times wearing a mysterious smile, leading her dormitory mates, the trio of Suiyi Sanbao and He Ge, to believe that the night of the full moon was approaching and she was preparing to transform.
Wen Shaoqing pondered for a moment, "Does your sister not want to join the student council at all? Did you force her to come?"
Following the clear and sweet female voice, there was an uproar
Ji Sixuan, Sanbao, and He Ge were previously unaware that this brother of Suiyi and the three boys in the same dormitory had such impressive backgrounds
Then someone poked their head out from behind and said, "What a coincidence? We also have a venue to smash!"
Lin Chen looked astonished, "How did you know?"
Quickly tell me!
Immediately following Sanbao's sharp scream, the situation seemed to spiral out of control
That person is quite the gossip. The beauty from the medical school, when she entered the campus, it caused quite a stir. I don't know how many boys have regarded her as a goddess! It has been many years since X University has seen such an enchanting beauty, the very famous Ji Sixuan! Not only is she beautiful, but I also heard she is a talented woman, especially good at painting, the kind that paints exceptionally well. The enchanting woman has the surname Ji, sweet to the point of sorrow.
Wen Shaoqing lowered his head and supported his forehead, helplessly pretending to be a piece of wood
It was not until she exited the teaching building that she fully regained her composure. In a hurry, she rushed back inside, found the designated study room, and met the person she had arranged to see. However, she seemed somewhat distracted, casually asked a few inconsequential questions, and then fell silent.
Ji Sixuan raised her eyebrows and suddenly smiled
Qiao Yu then raised his head to take a glance, but quickly lowered it again to flip through the registration form in his hand. He did not respond, yet could not help but curve the corners of his lips, silently acknowledging that it indeed looked familiar.
As I reached the corner and turned back, the boy on the other side of the glass was still quietly reading, his brows lowered.
Lin Chen recognized that Ji Sixuan was the girl who had "sabotaged the scene" during the interview in the afternoon, and then he made a series of exaggerated facial expressions towards Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu directly raised his hand and gave him a straightforward slap, which made him behave himself.
Qiao Yu's fingers moved slightly as she held the cup. When she smiled, a shallow dimple appeared on her left cheek, exuding a charm that was tinged with a hint of playful cuteness, making him unable to resist the urge to reach out and touch her
In the south, there are tall trees, which cannot be rested upon... thoughts...
This young man is truly handsome, with clear and beautiful facial contours, deep and three-dimensional features. His pair of eyes is a rare type of Danfeng eyes, and when he smiles, his entire face radiates warmth and gentleness, exceptionally refined. There is no dazzling brilliance; rather, it is as if the gentle aura he exudes slowly seeps into the hearts of those around him, unhurried and unobtrusive.
What surprised Qiao Yu even more was that he unexpectedly encountered Ji Sixuan again that evening
Qiao Yu and Lin Chen listened for a while, and they both shook their heads to indicate that they had not heard of it
Qiao Yu raised his head and saw her staring at them with a pair of pure, large eyes. He cleared his throat, signaling the other two to begin the interview
Ji Sixuan appeared calm and composed, her words were flippant
After the interview, Lin Chen, trying hard to suppress a laugh, led the helpless Qiao Yu out the door. Meanwhile, Xiao Ziyuan and Wen Shaoqing, who had also just exited another office after their interview, appeared somewhat unusual as well. Wen Shaoqing had a look in his eyes as if he had discovered something extraordinary, while Xiao Ziyuan's expression was inscrutable, though he seemed to be in a good mood.
The senior sister suddenly smiled, "You have a good eye. Many girls have asked me this question, but how come you don't even know him?"
At that time, she planned to transfer from the medical school to the architecture department, which was also her original plan. She contacted a senior student from the architecture department, who was her classmate's sister, to inquire about it and arranged to meet in the teaching building of the architecture college
The crowd that had just been watching in that office immediately jumped out, saying, "Her answers to every question seem to be aimed at ruining the atmosphere! When asked why she joined the student council, she actually said it was to earn extra credits so she could take fewer courses. Taking fewer courses would save time for sleeping!"
When her senior sister was sending her off, they passed by the study room, and Ji Sixuan hesitated for a moment, seemingly casually asking, "Hey, who is that boy?"
Ji Sixuan sat calmly in the chair, watching them discuss, her head slightly tilted, her brows gently furrowed, her clear and beautiful eyes blinking, appearing exceptionally pure and innocent, with a hint of allure in her purity
He Ge, with a face full of disdain, forcefully pulled San Bao, saying, "Can you not be so embarrassing! I don't even want to know you anymore!"
The four young men, all in the prime of their youth, are distinguished in both stature and appearance. When seated together, the visual impact is so overwhelming that the private room falls into a prolonged silence.
Ji Sixuan looked at him leisurely, smiling slightly as she opened her mouth to remind him, "Ji Sixuan."
"It seems that the issue of ownership was publicly announced, which created a sense of belonging." Lin Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully, "To be honest, I really feel that the girl looks very familiar, I wonder where I have seen her before... Let me think..."
Lin Chen seemed to have noticed something, and he tilted his body slightly, teasing in a low voice, "Who is interviewing whom? What are you so nervous about?"
A group of people was making a commotion, and Qiao Yu sighed with a wry smile, "The young lady was just joking, could you please not take it seriously?"
Qiao Yu did not expect to see this girl again
Lin Chen turned his head to glance behind him, noticing a group of boys several rows away whose gazes were constantly sweeping over a certain girl. He became intrigued and asked, "Who is she?"
I said goodbye to him during the student council interview
Seeing her sister in confusion, she stopped teasing her. "The School of Architecture is known for its abundance of talented individuals. The person you inquired about happens to be the foremost among them, named Qiao Yu. His surname is Qiao, as in the Qiao of 'Qiao Mu' (meaning 'tall trees'), and his given name is Yu, meaning 'ample' or 'plentiful.' He is one of the four prominent figures in the student council."
Oh?
Someone nearby overheard and came over, "Don't you know her?"
The four individuals exchanged glances with one another, and then, in a natural and calm manner, each averted their gaze, harboring their own ulterior motives
The weather that day was splendid, so much so that years later she still remembered it vividly. The sunlight was particularly bright, dazzling to the eyes. He sat in a pool of sunlight that day, warm and handsome like a prince, captivating and enchanting. In that moment, her heart was completely softened. Even the corners of her lips, which had been tightly pressed together out of impatience, were unaware of when they relaxed, gently curving into a soft arc
Yes, indeed, and also turned over the sign of the talented scholar Qiao
Amidst the clamor, Ji Sixuan quietly propped her chin up with one hand, staring at Qiao Yu, who was smiling triumphantly like a fox
Ji Sixuan frowned slightly, feeling quite dissatisfied with his reaction. Generally, when faced with such situations, people either blush and have a racing heart or feel disgusted and irritated. But his calmness—what does it mean? Does he see her as a little girl's prank? Is he not taking it to heart at all?
In fact, the structure of the teaching buildings is quite similar, and the teaching building of the School of Architecture is no exception. As she walked past one study room after another, she was once again stopped in her tracks by a stranger.
When Sui Yi reported, Lin Chen brought his roommate to meet her, so Sui Yi introduced them one by one
That night, Lin Chen invited Sui Yi to dinner, called three of his dormitory mates to accompany them, and took the opportunity to meet the three girls who shared a dorm with Sui Yi
