644: Chapter 643 Indeed Very Casual 644: Chapter 643 Indeed Very Casual Lin Xia and the others boarded the train, and after a night’s journey, they arrived at the provincial city in the early morning.
They handled storage for their belongings at the train station and afterward asked around for directions to the bus stop.
After boarding the bus headed for Lin Dong’s school, they saw many students with washbasins and luggage, as well as people who looked like their parents.
Most had just one parent accompanying them, which made the sight of Lin Xia and his several siblings accompanying one person quite rare.
Plus, they each had a distinguished appearance and were dressed in a stylish and generous manner, clearly from well-off families.
Therefore, they attracted a lot of inquisitive glances along the way.
Upon reaching Lin Dong’s school, Lin Xia and the others wandered around the university campus with excited hearts.
They felt that every tree, pavilion, blade of grass, and leaf there was infinitely desirable.
Lin Xia thought, if there were a next life, she would definitely take her exams seriously to attend a university and beco a college student.
Once all the procedures were completed, Lin Xia and the others accompanied Lin Dong to his dormitory building.
Lin Dong’s dormitory was on the second floor, in an eight-person room with four bunk beds and a row of wooden cabinets in the corner.
Lin Dong arrived neither early nor late, and there were already three boys in the dorm, each of whom had taken a lower bunk.
After greeting them amiably, Lin Dong assessed the situation and decisively claid the last available lower bunk by the door.
Lin Xia, finding it troubleso to bring too many things, had not brought much for Lin Dong.
So after they had made Lin Dong’s bed and placed the suitcase under it, they all went out to a nearby store to buy daily necessities.
When they ca back, the dormitory was much livelier than before…
Turned out, several more male students had arrived, accompanied by their family mbers.
There was an ordinary-looking boy with glasses, making his bed on the bunk above Lin Dong’s.
Standing beneath was a middle-aged man dressed in modest clothing, resembling an old farr.
His face was tanned and flushed, with wrinkles densely covering his face, making it difficult to guess his actual age.
Upon seeing Lin Xia and the others return with items, he courteously smiled and shifted to the back.
Lin Xia and the rest returned the greeting with smiles.
Several people were standing in the middle of the room, a mix of students and their parents.
Everyone greeted each other politely and gently, asking from where each other hailed.
After exchanging introductions, it turned out that among those who had arrived in the dorm, so were from neighboring provinces and so from rural areas, with only the student by the window bunk nad ng Xiangnan being a local.
ng Xiangnan appeared gentle and scholarly, with a pale face and black-frad glasses.
His sister was beautiful and elegant, her posture and vitality suggestive of soone who had trained in dance.
Lin Xia couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at the girl.
She sported a ponytail, and her small face was distinguished by a pair of large, expressive eyes.
Out of professional habit, Lin Xia took a close look at her clothes: a blazer paired with jeans, her legs straight and long.
What surprised Lin Xia the most was that her blazer was short and had only one button.
Considering that at this ti, blazers had just started to beco fashionable, with usually three or four buttons, even two buttons were rare.
A style and button count like hers would be common in the future.
But in this era, Lin Xia had never seen anyone wear such a thing before.
While Lin Xia and the others were taking in their surroundings, others were likewise observing them.
ng Xiangnan’s sister, ever since hearing they ca from Spring City, kept glancing over at Lin Xia and his siblings from ti to ti.
More eyes fell upon Lin Xia.
Lin Xia didn’t pay much attention to this.
Given the small size of the dorm and the gathering of so many people, it felt stuffy and hot.
She was single-mindedly focused on arranging the newly bought basins, water jugs, and daily necessities, then going out to eat.
Lin Qiu was helping alongside, while Lin Chun and Lin Dong had no chance to lend their hands.
ng Xiangzi, ng Xiangnan’s sister, saw that Lin Xia had almost finished packing and stood up.
She approached Lin Xia and introduced herself generously, “Hello!
My na is ng Xiangzi.
What’s your na?”
Seeing this, Lin Xia also smiled gracefully and replied, “Hello!
My na is Lin Xia!”
ng Xiangzi’s eyes twinkled slightly, and she tilted her head as if surprised, “Your na sounds so nice!
Your brother is nad Lin Dong, and you are nad Lin Xia!
So…” She pointed at Lin Qiu and Lin Chun and asked with a smile, “What about them?”
Lin Xia introduced with a light smile, “Lin Chun, Lin Qiu!”
ng Xiangzi covered her mouth and giggled, “Spring, Sumr, Autumn, Winter!
The nas your family chose are really interesting!”
Although she was smiling, the smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.
The others heard and also made a few good-natured jokes.
It was their first eting, so naturally, there wasn’t much to talk about.
Lin Xia told Lin Dong to pack away their belongings, so they could go and eat.
ng Xiangzi watched the group, including Lin Xia, as they left the room, her expression inscrutable, her thoughts unknown.
ng Xiangnan gave his sister a few curious glances; he didn’t understand what was up with her.
It wasn’t until they left the dormitory building that he spoke up, “Sis, why are you so interested in Lin Dong’s sister?”
Normally, his sister was not to say arrogant, but she definitely had an air of superiority.
It was rare for her to engage so proactively in conversation with others, and even more unusual for her to feign such warmth.
In his view, Lin Dong and the others were from a small place.
Even though they didn’t appear to be from poor families based on their clothing, they probably didn’t have much exposure to the world.
If it had been before, his sister would surely not have deigned to give them a second glance, let alone initiate a conversation.
ng Xiangzi brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, her eyes cast down to hide the complexity within, and she smiled faintly, “I just find the few of them quite interesting!
Xiangnan, think about it, Spring, Sumr, Autumn, Winter, you could guess their family’s casual approach to naming even with your eyes closed!”
After hearing this, ng Xiangnan smiled and agreed, “Indeed, very casual!”
Yet, he always felt that his sister had changed a lot after waking up from that illness, becoming sowhat unfamiliar to him…
The Lin Xia group, whose nas had been deed chosen casually, were now dining in the school cafeteria.
At the ti of registration, they had received a stack of al tickets.
They wanted to experience the school cafeteria, so they had co here directly for a al.
The food at the school was truly cheap; a few dis could get you a satisfying al.
Lin Xia chewed slowly, enjoying the food Lin Chun and Lin Dong had brought back, thinking it tasted quite good.
Although it didn’t have full marks for look, sll, and taste, the saltiness was at least appropriate.
However, she couldn’t help but worry and repeatedly instructed, “Dongzi, don’t skimp on food for yourself!
Buy whatever dishes you want to eat!
Eat more at and don’t be stingy!”
She was concerned that Lin Dong, heavy-hearted, might skimp on himself because he thought their business had gone and there was no inco, “Don’t you worry, even though big sister has sold the business, our family has money!
And when I get to my brother-in-law’s place, I’ll still do so business.”
Lin Chun added more sweet and sour pork ribs to Lin Dong’s al box and said, “Yes, Dongzi!
You’re still at an age where you can grow, don’t skimp on food expenses!
Once big brother starts working at grandpa’s, he’ll send you money every month!”
