Zhou Cui’an wasn’t sure about her mindset, but when Ye Leng’an provided Murong Yung’s contact information, she couldn’t resist jotting down the phone number.
She wasn’t certain if obtaining Murong Yung’s contact details would bring any benefits. However, she was unwilling to let go of such an opportunity.
She was unlike Ye Leng’an.
While she didn’t know Ye Leng’an’s family background, her lavish spending hinted at a well-off upbringing. But she hailed from a remote mountain village, where she knew she had to strive for her future.
Ye Leng’an returned to her typical university life. Naturally, she didn’t stay in the dormitory much.
Being an alchemist, she couldn’t confine herself to campus like an ordinary student. She aid to enhance her alchemy skills whenever possible and, of course, continue her cultivation.
All this was inconvenient to pursue in the dorm. Thus, she had already arranged with the school. They agreed, but with academic performance requirents.
Initially, other dorm mates were surprised, but they gradually acclimatized to Ye Leng’an’s uniqueness.
Of course, during the final exams, Ye Leng’an’s grades dazzled everyone. She topped all subjects, practically dominating the grade.
After seeing Ye Leng’an’s grades, all the professors in the departnt were tempted, eager to take her in as their personal disciple. However, so far, no one had succeeded.
After the sester, everyone began packing to go ho.
Ye Leng’an had already left upon receiving her grades. Ling Weiwei, being from Hu City, had booked a first-class flight and left early. Zhu Bixuan, with her car, planned a leisurely drive ho and wasn’t in a rush.
Zhou Cui’an, however, didn’t imdiately pack. Instead, she sat, lost in thought.
Zhu Bixuan, leisurely packing, couldn’t help but ask, “Cui’an, what’s on your mind?”
Startled by Zhu Bixuan’s voice, Zhou Cui’an snapped out of her reverie. “What’s up?”
“I was about to ask you the sa,” Zhu Bixuan said, eyeing Zhou Cui’an. “Why are you hesitating? It’s vacation ti. Aren’t you going to pack and head back?”
Hearing Zhu Bixuan’s question, Zhou Cui’an’s face betrayed unease. “I’ll pack later.”
“Then hurry!” Zhu Bixuan grinned. “Rember, in two days, the dorm’s utilities will be cut off. Everyone has to leave.”
“I know.” Zhou Cui’an nodded. Then, she couldn’t help but ask, “Bixuan, do you think we can apply to stay on campus?”
Zhu Bixuan was taken aback. “Aren’t you planning to go back for winter break?”
“I thought about staying in the capital to look for part-ti jobs.” Zhou Cui’an admitted with a hint of sadness in her eyes. “But if the school doesn’t allow it, I can’t stay either. Do you think they’d approve my request to stay?”
“Well…” Zhu Bixuan shook her head. “It’s not very realistic. With the holidays approaching, who would you even apply to? Plus, the school might not agree. I’ve heard many tried before, but the school’s regulations are strict, and they seldom grant such requests.”
A flicker of disappointnt crossed Zhou Cui’an’s face. She knew this outco was likely.
Without staying on campus, she couldn’t secure a winter job. After all, rent in the capital was exorbitant. Perhaps her part-ti earnings wouldn’t cover it.
Moreover, returning ho wasn’t appealing. Her remote village ho demanded constant chores, and she couldn’t bear the thought.
Finding a part-ti job here could cover next sester’s expenses. But returning ho ant uncertainty about finances. Her previous earnings were gone, and she needed a solution.
Having experienced the capital’s prosperity, she dreaded returning to poverty.
Though factory work was an option, she balked at the idea. As a student at Capital University, she refused to stoop to holiday labor. Plus, after earning well at a luxury store, factory wages seed paltry.
Long before the holidays, she sought a job offering food and lodging but found none.
She even contacted her previous employer, but they weren’t hiring.
Her studies suffered due to this dilemma.
Glancing at her report card, she couldn’t believe her decline from top student to diocre.
When she received her report card, she could hardly believe her eyes. Back in her hotown, she was a top-tier student. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have received the admission letter from Capital University. Being academically strong was her biggest advantage. She just didn’t expect that after coming to Capital University, all her advantages would disappear.
Thinking about this, Zhou Cui’an felt even more restless.
Seeing Zhu Bixuan casually packing, ready to drive ho, worsened her mood.
Despite being roommates, others had it easy. She, the one most eager to stay, faced the toughest ti.
Ling Weiwei had already booked a first-class plane ticket early on, Zhu Bixuan had her own car, and Ye Leng’an, being a native of the capital, had gone ho early.
Only she, the one who wanted to stay the most, couldn’t. While others were living carefreely, she was enduring such hardship.
