Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 263: Registration

After finishing the dumplings, Ge Yuanyi urged Lin Xiang to hurry home.

"You saw earlier, I have other roommates in my dorm, so I won’t be scared at night. After I finish registration tomorrow, I’ll officially start classes, so you don’t have to go out of your way to check on me. If there’s anything I can’t handle, I’ll reach out to you."

"After all, you’re my good friend, I won’t be shy with you."

"It’s best if you think that way."

Lin Xiang paid for the dumplings, "Then I’ll head back first. When you have a break this Friday, come over to my place, alright?"

After saying goodbye to Lin Xiang, Ge Yuanyi returned to her dorm.

She took off her shoes, ready to lie down for a nap, when her roommate from the next bed sat right down on her bed, as if not noticing her slightly tired look, and asked matter-of-factly, "Ge Yuanyi, the girl who came with you earlier, she’s your friend, right?"

"Yeah. She’s a student at Huaqing University."

"You two must be really close?"

"Of course." Ge Yuanyi’s tone had a hint of pride.

Lin Xiang is not just her friend, but the goddess sent by the heavens to rescue her.

Otherwise, she would still be trapped in that cramped, small space, wasting her time away, who knows when she would’ve given up and ended her life.

Lin Xiang’s arrival opened a new Chapter in her life and taught her to reconcile with her past self.

That’s why Ge Yuanyi is so proud when introducing Lin Xiang to others.

The female classmate, unaware of the details between Ge Yuanyi and Lin Xiang, asked, "Then your friend’s family must be well-off?"

"The dress she was wearing, I saw a similar style at the department store yesterday afternoon, and it costs sixty yuan! And her sandals, they must be at least twenty or thirty yuan."

For truly wealthy people, sixty yuan for a dress and twenty or thirty yuan for sandals aren’t much, but for most ordinary people, that’s quite an expense.

Not to mention for poor college students like them who just got into university.

But the more Ge Yuanyi listened, the more uncomfortable she felt, so she slightly frowned, "Why are you saying this?"

"I just feel it’s not worth it for you. She keeps calling you a friend, but she’s wearing such expensive clothes, why didn’t she consider buying you an outfit too?"

This presumptuous tone made Ge Yuanyi burst into laughter.

"She’s just my friend, not my mother, why should she be responsible for what I wear?"

Besides, the dress Lin Xiang was wearing was made by Fifth Aunt and Chunya, at least five or six with different colors and fabrics.

But the fabric was provided for free by Director Chen from the cotton spinning factory, and Fifth Aunt and Chunya’s handiwork, to be honest, isn’t worth much.

The main thing is that Lin Xiang has fair skin, looks pretty, and everything looks good on her, making it seem more expensive.

"I... I just feel it’s not worth it for you!"

"But I don’t need you to feel anything for me." Ge Yuanyi said seriously, "I see her as a friend, not as a cash cow."

"Do you have anything else? I want to sleep now."

Soon, it was August 31st.

Huaqing University’s registration date is September 1st, but like Beijing Medical College, considering some students have difficulty timing their arrival due to distance, they can check in starting August 28th.

Lin Xiang’s home is near Huaqing University’s dormitory building, so she waited until noon on September 1st to arrive at the dormitory with Mrs. Lin, bringing only a few pieces of luggage.

Since they arrived late, only one bed was left, and it was the upper bunk by the window.

Lin Xiang didn’t mind, swiftly climbed up, and took the bedding Mrs. Lin handed her, and set it up in no time.

"Mom, I’ll take my admission letter and register myself later, you don’t need to worry about me, go home first."

"Can you handle it on your own?"

"I’m an adult now, you don’t need to worry. I’ll come home to see you on Friday."

The dorm room wasn’t big to begin with, and counting Lin Xiang, there were already six people in the room. If they weren’t all on their beds, the room felt quite cramped, leaving Mrs. Lin no choice but to head home first.

After all, her daughter was just around the corner, so she could see her every day, no problem.

Mrs. Lin had just left when someone asked Lin Xiang, "Are you also a local from Beijing? Why does your accent not quite sound like it? Which district are you from?"

This classmate spoke with an authentic Beijing accent, and Lin Xiang had to explain, "I’m not from Beijing, I’m from Ji Province. My mom rented a house from a relative near the school."

Another roommate said enviously, "Your mom really loves you. You got into college, and she’s willing to spend her time accompanying you in your studies. Where can you find such a good mom?"

Lin Xiang replied, "She stayed in Beijing partly to accompany me, but more importantly, she’s here to help find a match for my brother. My brother’s not getting any younger, and she’s worried if it drags on, it will be too late."

Lin Xiang didn’t want her new roommates to focus too much on her, so she changed the topic.

Until someone came knocking, "Foreign language students, time to register!"

All six people in the dorm were from the foreign language department.

The dormitory supervisor shouted down the hallway, and Lin Xiang, along with two other classmates, jumped out of bed, and together they left the dormitory.

"I’ve already asked the seniors; the registration for the foreign language department is on the third floor, third room on the left in the East Wing. We can go straight there."

Lin Xiang and her roommates hurried to the registration site, and the queue had already stretched about ten meters long; they could only join at the end.

Under the blazing sun, they stood for about an hour before it was finally Lin Xiang’s turn.

"You’re also called Lin Xiang, and from the foreign language department?" The teacher scrutinized Lin Xiang’s admission letter, "Why does your letter have so many signatures from the teachers?"

All signatures from the admissions office staff!

This kind of admission letter was new to them, so they couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

But the teacher’s voice wasn’t soft, so a few people nearby glanced over.

Lin Xiang didn’t want to be the center of attention and quickly explained, "My admission letter got lost during distribution, and it didn’t reach me, so Director Wei from the admissions office knew about it, assessed me, and issued me a new admission letter after my assessment passed."

"Since it was reissued later, all the teachers from the admissions office signed their names."

The teachers in charge of registration exchanged glances.

Just minutes earlier, they had registered another Lin Xiang.
