Chapter 56: It's all 2, 2 is home.
During the few minutes on the way to the guesthouse, Huang Xiaochuan kept mentioning Tang Yuan to Yu Wei.
"Yu Wei, not bad! I think this Tang Yuan is quite nice, and you two look like a perfect match. I think you should just go for it!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Wei wasn't interested in Tang Yuan at all: "Don't talk nonsense. I don't see any resemblance between us. She looks like a bean sprout, with no breasts or butt. If you like her, go find her."
"Holy crap!" Huang Xiaochuan almost choked on his words. Was that even human language? That's your wife, okay? She's just not fully developed yet. She'll be a curvy beauty in the future, okay?
It seems that haste makes waste. I shouldn't get involved in this mess and should just let things take their course. I should trust my sister-in-law Tang Yuan's abilities; it's only a matter of time before she takes down Yu Wei.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaochuan stopped teasing Yu Wei about it.
Upon seeing the two return to the guesthouse, Yu Xiang immediately arranged their next itinerary.
"Let's go have breakfast first, then check out of the room, collect our luggage, and go register Xiaochuan."
Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Weile were happy to follow Yu Xiang's arrangements, so an hour later, the three of them appeared at the gate of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
"Wow, Xiao Chuan, your school is so much more impressive! Look at it, look at it!" Yu Wei said with some envy for Huang Xiao Chuan.
Then, seeing the astonishing male-to-female ratio on campus, I became even more envious of that bastard Huang Xiaochuan. What a vast forest this is! Unlike my school, where the male-to-female ratio is only 1 to 9, what forest is there? Just a sparse grove of trees with a few scattered branches, and the quality is quite questionable, yet that guy with the bun hairstyle still stands out like a crane among chickens.
Compared to Yu Wei's school, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics has a significantly larger student body, and the majority of students are female. On their way to the registration location, the three of them saw many girls arriving to register accompanied by their parents.
When they arrived at the registration place, Yu Wei and Yu Xiang, the siblings, stayed behind to watch his luggage, while Huang Xiaochuan took the admission notice and the grain and oil supply documents to register and complete the formalities.
There were five people handling the registration procedures for the new students in the Economics Department; only one was a boy, and the rest were all girls.
Huang Xiaochuan thought to himself, "Have I stumbled into a land of women?" In his previous life, he attended a comprehensive university with a focus on science and engineering, where the male-to-female ratio wasn't this outrageous. This was his first time at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics after two lifetimes, and he never expected the male-to-female ratio here to be so absurd.
When the four girls saw Huang Xiaochuan, all eight of them stared at him. He's grown so handsome!
Seeing several female classmates swooning over a new student, the male student in charge of registration felt incredibly jealous. He asked curtly, "What department are you in? What are you dawdling for? Where's your acceptance letter?"
Huang Xiaochuan ignored him and handed the admission notice and other documents to the girl who was closest to him.
After receiving the registration form from Huang Xiaochuan, Sang Weihong glanced at the name "Huang Xiaochuan" on it and then searched for it on the list of new students.
She quickly found Huang Xiaochuan's name on the list, smiled, and said to him, "Welcome, Huang Xiaochuan. I'm your senior, my name is Sang Weihong. Welcome to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics."
Out of politeness, Huang Xiaochuan shook hands with Sang Weihong, then with several other senior female students, and finally with the boy who spoke awkwardly.
After Huang Xiaochuan left, several girls in charge of welcoming the new students chattered amongst themselves, saying that the quality of the new batch of male students was quite high! They had potential!
Next, Huang Xiaochuan completed all the formalities according to the procedure, learned his assigned dormitory number, and then went to meet up with Yu Xiang and her brother.
Huang Xiaochuan discovered an interesting phenomenon: almost every girl who passed by Yu Wei would glance at him a few times, and some would even turn back for another look after walking past him. Women are indeed attracted to good looks; that's absolutely true.
Fortunately, Yu Xiang was by his side, so no girls came up to chat him up. Otherwise, Yu Wei would definitely have been surrounded by onlookers.
When Yu Wei saw Huang Xiaochuan return, he asked, "Did you register?"
Huang Xiaochuan nodded and stepped forward to pick up his suitcase and bedding roll: "Let's go, we can go to the dormitory now."
Huang Xiaochuan's dormitory was an old, five-story building, and he was assigned to room 222 on the second floor.
Huang Xiaochuan complained as soon as he got the dorm number, saying it was so stupid, ridiculously stupid.
There are advantages to having a lower floor, as you don't have to climb too many stairs. Soviet-style buildings built in the 1950s and 60s generally have a floor height of 3.3 meters, and there are many stairs to climb.
When I entered the dormitory, I was shocked to find it was a complete mess. It seemed that the previous graduates had done a lot of damage to the place; there was trash all over the floor, and the beds, desks, and cabinets were covered in dust.
Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but complain about the school's dormitory management office again, "Can't you arrange for someone to clean it in advance?"
Yu Xiang instructed Huang Xiaochuan to get a broom, dustpan, and rag from the dormitory supervisor. After getting the items, Yu Xiang helped Huang Xiaochuan clean the dormitory.
Huang Xiaochuan quickly took Yu Wei to fetch water, and he took over the task.
"Sister Xiang, you can just make my bed. Yu Wei and I will take care of the cleaning."
This dormitory is also a six-person room. To the left of the entrance are three bunk beds, to the right is a row of cabinets, and in the middle are six desks.
After the two of them wiped all the tables and chairs clean, a new roommate arrived in room 222. This person wore glasses and was quite handsome, and his parents accompanied him.
Upon seeing his new roommate, Huang Xiaochuan stopped what he was doing and greeted him, "Hello, my name is Huang Xiaochuan. You're in this dorm too, right?"
The bespectacled man was somewhat shy and introverted: "Chen Zhe."
Huang Xiaochuan then greeted Chen Zhe's parents: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt!"
Then she introduced Yu Xiang and her brother: "They are my childhood friends and my sister. They also study in Shanghai and came with me to register today."
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Zhe's parents also helped clean the dormitory. With many hands making light work, the dormitory was soon transformed.
Yu Xiang and Chen Zhe's mother helped them make their beds. The bed assignments here were different from those at Yu Wei's school. Here, everyone's name was already pasted on the beds, regardless of who arrived first.
So Huang Xiaochuan's bed is on the upper bunk near the door. The only advantage is that it's close to the light switch. It seems that he can't escape the task of turning the lights on and off every morning and evening. He officially takes office as the light manager of dormitory 222 starting today.
Chen Zhe was assigned to the lower bunk of Huang Xiaochuan, and the two became bunk brothers.
Seeing that Yu Xiang was sweating profusely from helping him, Huang Xiaochuan suggested that they find a place to get a drink and rest.
But Yu Xiang insisted on going back: "I'm not going. I'll take Yu Wei back to school and then go back. Just take care of yourself. Call me if anything happens, okay?"
Huang Xiaochuan made a suggestion: "Then I'll take you back. We can also go to your school to try the food in your cafeteria at noon. After lunch, I'll take Yu Wei back, and then I'll come back myself."
Yu Xiang scolded playfully, "Taking a taxi again?"
"No, no, let's take the bus, okay?" Huang Xiaochuan immediately compromised.
Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan was willing to take the bus, Yu Xiang finally agreed.
After saying goodbye to their new roommate and his parents, the three of them went to the bus stop outside the school gate to wait for the bus.
