Chapter 10
The person has already arrived; after all, it is a university, so let's make do with it. This makes it over two years.
"Ah, finally back." Zhang Shaoyu dropped the suitcase and, disregarding whether the bed was clean or not, collapsed onto it. The dormitory was in disarray; the double bed was in a complete mess, and the floor was littered with trash. Zhang Shaoyu had no time to care about these things. Remembering that Yang Tingyao was still waiting outside, he got up, closed the door, and ran out again
When Zhang Shaoyu arrived in Chengdu, it was eight o'clock in the evening. The moment he jumped out of the car, his mood suddenly brightened.
A girl rushed out from the school gate. Judging by her appearance, she was around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with long hair. She wore a light green short-sleeved shirt and white jeans. Her appearance did not belong to the stunning type; her features were not particularly remarkable. However, strangely enough, she was very easy on the eyes, and the more you looked at her, the more beautiful she seemed.
"My dear elder sister, why are you dragging me? Didn't you see that guy..." Zhang Shaoyu was still somewhat indignant, his chest heaving with emotion, indicating that he had not yet vented his frustration. Yang Tingyao looked at Zhang Shaoyu with a smile, shook her head, and said, "You, with that temper of yours, don't even consider the situation. You dare to hit the security guard? If you had really thrown that punch today, I tell you, just wait for the punishment to come."
"Shaoyu, stop it," she urgently shouted while pulling Zhang Shaoyu. Zhang Shaoyu was being tugged by the security guard, his mind filled with thoughts of giving that guy a good beating. Suddenly, he was pulled back, and when he turned his head to look, he lowered his raised fist. No matter how aggressive a man may be, there will always be a few women he respects deeply in his life, and this woman before him is someone Zhang Shaoyu would never go against, not out of fear, but simply because he would not.
The security guard held Zhang Shaoyu's suitcase with his left hand, while pointing at his nose with his right hand, gritting his teeth as he spoke. In the past, Zhang Shaoyu might have had the interest to tease him a bit, but now he truly lacked the mood for it. He let out a gentle breath, looked at the security guard, and said very seriously: "Let go of your hand"
The security guard let out a disgruntled hum, straightened his clothes that had been messed up by Zhang Shaoyu, and said: "Forget it, for your sake, Xiao Yang, I won't hold it against him. He's still young and has quite a temper." As he spoke, he turned around and walked away, muttering something under his breath.
Thinking about the little RMB left in his bag, he steeled himself and hurried to school. He had never suffered like this before. Southwest University of Information Technology is a university directly under the Ministry of Education, a key university, and by all accounts, it is not a bad school. However, Zhang Shaoyu, this fellow, did not perform well and only managed to get into a junior college, and moreover, it is not on the main campus, but in the Jinniu District, adjacent to the northern section of the Second Ring Road and the library.
"You little brat, how dare you hit me! Come on, let's go to the security room!" The security guard was also furious, grabbing Zhang Shaoyu by the collar and dragging him towards the security room, and the two immediately began to struggle.
Sister Yang," Zhang Shaoyu suppressed his anger and called out softly. This girl is Yang Tingyao. When Zhang Shaoyu registered as a freshman, she was the one who picked him up. They have known each other since then, and their relationship has always been good. Over the past two years, she has taken great care of Zhang Shaoyu, which is why he holds her in such high regard.
However, Zhang Shaoyu did not dare to be lazy, as he had too many things to accomplish. On the train to Chengdu, he had already considered that the most urgent issue to address was money. Tuition fees and living expenses were both uncertain; while tuition could be deferred, what about living expenses? Given his father's temperament, it was impossible to expect any remittance from him, and besides, he would not accept it anyway. Therefore, he needed to find a way to earn money
Recklessness is the privilege of youth, but when you choose to be reckless, you must be prepared to pay the price. This price often leaves an indelible mark on your life.
Zhang Shaoyu shook his clothes and laughed nonchalantly, "With Senior Sister Yang here, what do I have to fear about any penalties?" Yang Yaoting shook her head helplessly, thinking about this lively junior brother. She then patted his shoulder and pushed him slightly, saying, "Go put your things down and come out for dinner; I'll treat you to a welcome meal."
"What are you doing?" The security guard, with a belt slung over his shoulder and a *picture* book in hand, stood with a slouched posture, tilting his head as he asked. Since the first day Zhang Shaoyu entered the school, he felt that this guy deserved a beating, always acting like a big shot. At this moment, when he was asked, he completely ignored it and walked in with his head held high. The security guard, seeing this, was infuriated and shouted loudly, "Hey, I'm talking to you, the one dragging the suitcase!" When he called out, seeing that Zhang Shaoyu still did not respond, he lost face and took several big steps forward to grab Zhang Shaoyu.
"Am I supposed to take your nonsense? Just do your job as a security guard and mind your own business?" Zhang Shaoyu was clearly furious, and his expression was understandably grim. This was truly outrageous; usually, which student would not treat the security guard politely? The boys would even offer him a cigarette. It was the first time encountering such an arrogant individual today.
When Zhang Shaoyu arrived at the school gate dragging his suitcase, he was stopped by the security guard
Chengdu, a city that once visited, one does not wish to leave. The accumulation of thousands of years of Shu culture has imbued Chengdu with a rich cultural atmosphere. The rapidly developing economy, the ever-changing cityscape, and the renowned beauties of Chunxi Road all contribute to the allure of Chengdu. It is often said that the people of Chengdu are quite laid-back; they approach everything at a leisurely pace, unhurried and unflustered. Spending time with them, one comes to realize that life can indeed be lived in such a manner
Yang Tingyao smiled slightly and spoke to the security guard in a friendly manner: "Liu Ge, I apologize, this is my younger brother, he doesn't know better, please don't hold it against him." She had never considered asking Zhang Shaoyu to apologize; after two years, she understood this junior brother too well. Trying to make him bow his head and apologize was as unlikely as negotiating with a knife to his throat.
Just at that moment, the driver said something that left these guys feeling quite frustrated: "This is Southwest Jiaotong University." Later, when they arrived at their school, Zhang Shaoyu felt an urge to turn back. What kind of broken school is this, without even a proper entrance? Just a concrete pillar on one side, and on the right pillar hangs a white-painted sign that reads "North Campus of Southwest University of Information Technology." As they walked further in, oh dear, it was shabby—one teaching building, one dormitory building, and besides that, there were hardly any main structures.

"Xiao Yang, is this kid your friend?" The security guard almost simultaneously released Zhang Shaoyu. The woman before him was not to be trifled with; she was the vice president of the student council and had considerable influence at the school. She dealt daily with either the principal or the directors, so if this was her friend, it would indeed warrant some respect.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shaoyu felt as if he was being insulted. His eyes widened, and he shouted, "You little brat, what the hell are you cursing at! I..." Just as he was about to finish his sentence, he was pulled away by Yang Tingyao, nearly stumbling in the process. She dragged him all the way to the dormitory building within the school, and only then did Zhang Shaoyu manage to break free.
"Come here! You have the audacity to act tough, Liu. " Yang Tingyao scolded with a grim expression. Zhang Shaoyu did not retort and turned his head to the side. He knew that once Yang Tingyao showed up, this matter was as good as settled.
After getting off at the Hehua Pond Station, I walked straight along the Second Ring Road for about ten minutes and soon saw Southwest Jiaotong University. Speaking of this, there is an amusing story. When Zhang Shaoyu and his friends came to register as freshmen, the school sent a vehicle to pick them up at the station, also following the Second Ring Road. These young men were observing the tall buildings outside the car and were quite pretentious in their comments. Later, as the vehicle passed by Southwest Jiaotong University, they were all amused by the sight. Just look at that entrance and the large numbers inside the gate; who says our school is inferior?
Perhaps due to wearing high-heeled sandals, she was not running very steadily, stumbling as she rushed over and grabbing Zhang Shaoyu's raised fist.
Zhang Shaoyu responded and walked towards the dormitory building with his suitcase. There were still several days before the school opened, and there were not many people in the dormitory. After receiving the key from the administrator, Zhang Shaoyu returned to his room
"If I don't let go, what can you do?" the security guard asked with a cold smile. Zhang Shaoyu's face showed no sign of anger, remaining as calm as still water, but a surge of rage had already risen to his head. He released his grip on the suitcase. Just as he was about to raise his fist to strike the security guard, a clear and delicate voice called out: "Shaoyu!"
