Chapter 101 Dormitory Assignment
Su Qing stepped into the campus of Yangshi University of Technology with infinite longing and expectation for the future. This was a brand new beginning in her life, and every brick and tile seemed to be telling the story of the future.
The scene of the campus was novel to her. It was surrounded by a vibrant scene, with green trees and the fragrance of flowers.
Su Qing was filled with emotion. This place was completely different from the life she had experienced before.
Today, she has the honor of becoming one of the first batch of freshmen admitted after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977. She has finally achieved her wish and entered a higher education institution.
When she first entered the campus, she was shocked by everything she saw: the spacious playground, the neat teaching buildings, the lush green trees, everything seemed so novel and beautiful.
On the day of registration, the campus was filled with the laughter of new students.
Su Qing and her classmates lined up to receive their books, student ID cards and dormitory keys.
The students who had already registered enthusiastically guided the newly arrived students, taking them to familiarize themselves with the campus and introducing various clubs and activities.
She saw booths of various clubs, including dance, music, literature, and photography, which made her feel extremely yearning.
On the first day of school, after the self-introductions at the first class meeting, Su Qing learned that the ages of the classmates in the class varied. The oldest was 43 years old and the youngest was 18 years old. Some were married and some were already fathers or mothers.
When Su Qing was assigned to the dormitory, she met her three new roommates: Qu Meijun, Xiang Hui and Xu Tianying.
Qu Meijun's cold exterior but warm heart made her feel somewhat hostile towards Su Qing. Su Qing caught a hint of subtle warmth in her eyes, as if she was hiding something.
Xiang Huize is like a ray of sunshine, warm and helpful. Her smile makes Su Qing feel at home, as if everything is no longer strange.
Xu Tianying seemed a little inferior and introverted. Su Qing felt sympathy for her and decided to get to know her roommate better and help her get out of her own little world.
When they first met in the dormitory, although Qu Meijun's attitude was a little cold, Xiang Hui and Xu Tianying both showed friendliness to her.
Su Qing secretly made up her mind that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would get along harmoniously with her roommates and face the challenges of college life together.
In the following days, Su Qing tried hard to adapt to the new environment.
She followed Xiang Hui to the welcome party. Xiang Hui enthusiastically introduced the trivialities of life in the entire dormitory, and Su Qing listened with great interest.
At the party, Su Qing saw Qu Meijun sitting alone. Although her eyes showed her concern for the people around her from time to time, she never took the initiative to join in.
Su Qing's heart moved, and she decided to take the initiative to contact her, perhaps she could break this cold shell.
"Meijun, do you want to go to the book fair over there together?" Su Qing mustered up the courage and said to Qu Meijun.
Qu Meijun was slightly stunned, but finally nodded.
As the two walked towards the book fair, Su Qing carefully tested her interests, and slowly, she discovered that Qu Meijun actually had a deep love for literature, but her way of expressing it was rather restrained.
As the conversation deepened, Qu Meijun's attitude gradually softened, and Su Qing felt a little relieved.
Through daily observation, Su Qing found that apart from attending classes, Xu Tianying spent most of her time reading quietly in the dormitory. She rarely even went to the library and would occasionally look out the window.
Su Qing noticed her loneliness and decided to take the initiative to invite her to participate in club activities. Xu Tianying was hesitant at first, but with Su Qing's encouragement, she finally nodded and agreed.
They joined the Guitar Club together. Su Qing played the guitar very well in her previous life and her singing was also very beautiful.
Although Xu Tianying was a beginner in guitar, her playing talent surprised Su Qing. Su Qing secretly decided to help her find confidence in this competitive environment.
As the days passed, Su Qing and her three roommates gradually became closer. They shared their confusion in study and trivial matters in life, and enjoyed every moment of college together.
But Qu Meijun still seemed rather aloof, and seemed a bit out of place when mingling with the other three.
Xiang Hui's sunny temperament filled the dormitory with vitality, and with their encouragement, Xu Tianying began to express her ideas bravely and gradually became cheerful.
At a dormitory party, four girls sat together and shared their dreams and future.
Su Qing said: "I hope to become an excellent entrepreneur and lead the whole village to become rich."
Xiang Hui said seriously: "I want to publish my own novel and tell my story to more people."
Xu Tianying smiled and said, "Like Xiaoqing, I will return home after graduation to contribute to the development of my hometown."
Xiang Meijun just smiled and did not continue her roommate's topic. In fact, she also had the youthfulness of youth stirring in her heart, but she would not easily show it in front of others.
However, Su Qing still felt a strong resonance. Their dreams were intertwined. College life was no longer a solitary journey. They would spend a wonderful time growing up together here.
As the semester progressed, Su Qing's study life became increasingly busy.
She began to attend various courses and worked hard to master professional knowledge. In class, she benefited a lot from the theoretical knowledge taught by professors, but she also realized that practice is the most important thing.
She actively signed up for various practical activities, joined the school's engineering design team, and participated in actual projects.
She met classmates from different majors, and they discussed and collaborated together, sparking many innovative ideas.
In the dormitory, Xiang Hui's enthusiasm and humor are always the source of everyone's laughter. She can always bring relaxation and joy after busy studies.
Xiang Hui is an extrovert and cheerful person. She soon began to try writing. Whenever she shared her works, her roommates always gave her great encouragement and support.
Once, Xiang Hui excitedly told everyone that her short story was accepted by the school's literary magazine, and her roommates congratulated her.
As the semester progressed, the academic pressure gradually increased, especially when the final exams came, the four girls all felt an invisible sense of urgency.
Being busy between the library and the classroom every day, Su Qing often feels exhausted. In order to relieve stress, Su Qing suggests that everyone organize a "Relaxation Night" to enjoy some relaxing time after the intense study.
They cooked dinner together and shared their specialties. Although the food was a little messy, they laughed a lot.
After dinner, Xiang Hui suggested playing games, and everyone sat together, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.
At this time, Su Qing felt that despite their busy studies, the company of friendship allowed them to find a little comfort and strength amidst the pressure.
As time went by, Su Qing gradually realized that although Qu Meijun looked cold on the outside, she had a sensitive and passionate heart.
She also took the initiative to communicate with Xu Tianying to understand her inner world. Gradually, Xu Tianying opened her heart, and Su Qing discovered that there were many stories hidden deep in her heart. It turned out that she had been married for a long time and had a four-year-old son, Tan Yang, but her husband died of illness in his early years.
It was not easy for her to get into university.
Fortunately, Xu Tianying gradually became more and more confident. She gradually showed her talents in dormitory activities, began to actively share her guitar exercises, and actively participated in charity performances organized by the Guitar Association.
Seeing her changes, Su Qing and other roommates felt extremely relieved.
