Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, not only had Ge Dongxu returned from Hong Kong, but the day to register for university had also quickly arrived.
Since Ge Dongxu wanted to keep a low profile and live a normal college life, he naturally would not drive boastfully to school, but as usual, he took the train from his hotown Changxi County to the Provincial Capital.
September was not only the registration day for new students but also the return day for existing students, so on this day, more than half of the train's passengers were university students headed to school, accompanied by their parents.
Because freshn, having spent three years of high school in seclusion, had hardly traveled far, so even taking the train for the first ti, many parents felt uneasy allowing their children to go to school alone.
Ge Dongxu naturally did not need his parents to accompany him to university. He boarded the train alone amidst the flow of people at the Changxi County train station. Watching his fellow young travelers with their hands empty but their parents carrying large and small bags, he felt an indescribable sense of emotion.
A parents' love is undoubtedly great, but excessive pampering, if comprehended by the child, is fine; if not, it might beco accustod, assuming it should be like that, which would be quite tragic.
With these reflections, Ge Dongxu boarded the train and greeted a few classmates and alumni from Changxi County No. 1 High School before finding his seat according to the ticket number.
The train heading to the Provincial Capital started not from Changxi County but from Sanshang City in Dongyue Province.
When Ge Dongxu boarded, there were already quite a few passengers. The seat opposite him was taken by a young man with neatly grood, shiny hair and ticulously clean clothing, who looked very ordinary but was about his age.
Seeing a male student arrive, the young man flashed a look of disappointnt, but quickly accepted the reality, sized up Ge Dongxu who had just seated himself after stowing his luggage, and asked, "Heading to the Provincial Capital for studies? Freshman or returning student?"
"Freshman. What about you?" Ge Dongxu replied with a smile, feeling a sense of déjà vu with the young man before him.
"I'm also a freshman, at Jiangnan University. How about you?" the young man responded and followed up with another question.
"What a coincidence, I am also at Jiangnan University," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Wow, that really is a coincidence. What's your major?" the young man's gaze towards Ge Dongxu suddenly ward up.
"Environntal Chemistry. How about you?" Ge Dongxu inquired.
"Environntal Chemistry, isn't that a science and engineering subject? Probably a bunch of guys and hardly any girls, not fun. College is such a wonderful ti, you should have chosen a major with plenty of girls, like , English. I heard that under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be more than four guys in a class, sotis even only one. Imagine, being the only guy in a class, all the girls around you, just like an emperor, how cool that would feel! It would surely make the four years of college worthwhile," the young man said, his eyes shining, his face sowhat lecherous, which instantly reminded Ge Dongxu of his high school best friend, Cheng Le Hao.
Cheng Le Hao and Du Yifan were off to college in the capital, had set off a couple of days earlier.
"So you chose the English major just because of this reason?" Ge Dongxu looked at the young man sitting across from him speechless for a while before he could not help but ask with a mix of laughter and tears.
"Of course not entirely. Studying English not only makes stand out from the crowd, cough cough, this idiom might not be quite right, but you get the drift, and once I master it, I can also flirt with blonde foreigners and boost our national pride. I also need to choose a second foreign language for my major, and I've decided on Japanese. If it goes well, I plan to take up Korean as well. Imagine dating a Japanese girl, hearing her call 'daddy' every day, just thinking about it feels great. Oh, and Jiangnan University is a famous school in Huaxia Country, and I heard they have quite a few international students every year, especially from Korea and Japan, aside from our brothers from Africa," the young man said with a glowing face.
"Younger brother, you had great ambitions back in high school, I truly admire that! Poor , during my high school years, all I did was bury myself in my studies. I then earned the title of top student and got into an aweso program at Jiangnan University, the Physics Departnt. This departnt really kicks ass, seriously. Your Environntal Chemistry has it better; every class at least has a few girls, and occasionally so beauties, especially since Professor Wu from their college is famously beautiful. But our departnt? You can hardly find any girls. You know, people outside say that our faculty of science and engineering at Jiangnan University is all about couples or gays, but our physics departnt, it's just bursting with bromance, a truly sad story. This younger brother, when you're surrounded by beauties, don't forget to introduce one to your senior here," a man across the aisle with thick glasses and appearing quite scholarly chid in.
"These years have been tough on you, senior. Don't worry, eting is fate, I'll definitely introduce a few to you," the guy sitting opposite Ge Dongxu patted his chest and said.
"No need for a few, just one is enough, enough," the senior from the Physics Departnt quickly replied.
"How could that be enough? The Physics Departnt, that's where the true national talents co from! Can't let the future national talents sweat and cry! Yes, yes," the rascally fellow said with a righteous expression.
"Cough cough, my na is Ge Dongxu, may I know how to address you gentlen?" Unable to bear it any longer, Ge Dongxu interrupted them.
"We've been chatting for so long and almost forgot to introduce myself. My na is Lv Chongliang," the sleazy guy slapped his forehead and replied.
"Lv Congliang?" Ge Dongxu and the guy across the aisle from the Physics Departnt were taken aback and then burst into laughter.
Lv Congliang, also a good girl!?
Who the hell nad him that? People who don't know might think his ancestors were involved in so sort of profession.
"It's not Cong, but Chong, as in adoration," seeing Ge Dongxu and the physics guy laughing, Lv Chongliang finally blushed slightly, making an effort to speak with a northern accent by curling his tongue.
"Oh, it's 'adoration' Chong," Ge Dongxu and the physics guy suddenly realized, but they still couldn't help wanting to laugh.
Since both Dongyue Province and Jiangnan Province are in the South, most people there are used to speaking with a flat tongue, so the na Lv Chongliang will surely continue to be called Lv Congliang by them, even Lv Chongliang himself said "Congliang" just now.
"Don't laugh! It's the na my elders chose; I can't do anything about it," Lv Chongliang, seeing Ge Dongxu and the physics guy trying not to laugh, imdiately glared and said.
"Whether it's Congliang or Chongliang, the na was chosen with a very positive and significant aning," the physics guy adjusted his glasses, speaking in all seriousness.
