Chapter 341 (2/2)

“I have a good solution for that.” Le Baiyi nodded and said, “I have been researching a subject that requires me to explore and observe some islands’ terrains in the South China Sea. When the time comes, I’ll put your name in the exploration member list, so you won’t need to participate in the military training. I’ll handle the formalities with the campus. So, what about the other matter?”

“I heard that freshmen must stay in the campus. Can I get an exception for this? Of course, I’ll also stay on the campus often, but…”

Le Baiyi waved his hand and said, “If you don’t want to live inside the campus, you can apply to live outside! These are only trivial matters. Just give it to me to handle it.”

Tang Xiu said gratefully, “Thanks a lot, Professor Le. Anyway, do you have some free time at noon? I want to invite you to have lunch with me.”

Clapping his hands, Le Baiyi replied with a contented expression, “No problem. However, I should be the one treating you. After all, since you’ve come to me, I’m afraid that old geezer in Tianjin City would stab my spine if I not invited you to a meal. Anyways, let’s go to the Tongfu Restaurant outside the campus. I’m a regular there.”

Tang Xiu smiled faintly.

Treating him for a meal?! He was naturally unable to let Le Baiyi treat him today. After all, he was the one asking for his help, to begin with!

After lunch, Tang Xiu refused Le Baiyi’s invitation to drink tea. After parting ways, he went straight to the campus library again. After spending more than an hour reading a book there, he then went to the classroom.

At this moment, the students present were obviously a lot more than in the morning. It was more than 30 students altogether, and there was only 10 left remaining for the full class. Tang Xiu’s arrival, in particular, attracted everyone’s attention, as many of them whispered about some topics Tang Xiu couldn’t hear.

“Yo, Brother Tang. Come here!”

Zhao Liang stood as he faced toward Tang Xiu and waved.

Tang Xiu walked there and sat himself down. Only then he heard Zhao Liang’s willy voice, “Eldest Brother Tang, now our classmates have really seen it. Our class’s teacher in charge—Teacher Han really came to Shanghai University just for you. When you left the classroom in the morning, it was just like her spirit had left her body. It wasn’t long after meeting the other new freshmen that she went out to chase you.”

Tang Xiu creased his brows slightly as he shook his head and said, “She might have had her own matters! Alright, let’s change the topic. Who among you knows any fellow senior students here?”

“Why do you?” Yue Kai was puzzled.

“Our fellow senior students should be able to borrow books from the campus library. I was planning to borrow a few books there to read. If I can’t borrow them, I wanna know a place outside the campus where I can buy them.” said Tang Xiu.

“Why borrow them? Might as well buy them directly. Tell me what books you wanna buy. But it’s best for you to make a list of them, though. I’ll drive you out to buy them after we finished everything this afternoon.” Said Yue Kai with a smile.

“Well, let’s buy it then!” Laughed Tang Xiu and said, “Let’s go out this afternoon and then stroll around after that. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

Yue Kai raised his thumb and exclaimed, praising, “Woot, Eldest Brother Tang is really impressive. But where are we going to eat tonight?”

“I just had lunch in Tongfu Restaurant outside the campus this noon. Their dishes are not bad,” said Tang Xiu.

“No problem.” Yue Kai nodded and said, “Anyways, are your pockets full? If it is, let’s call Zhao Liang and his dorm mates! The seven of us having a drink will surely create a good atmosphere!”

Tang Xiu nodded, “That’s fine with me! Call everyone.”

Yue Kai nodded contentedly, but he suddenly whispered, “Have you heard something? The last guy in our dorm who has yet to arrive was injured by some hoodlums because of his heroic acts. He’s hospitalized in Shanghai Hospital now! I heard his injuries are not severe. Nevertheless, it’s impossible for him to come to school during this period. And heck, I’m really envious of him! He doesn’t have to participate in the military training.”

Acting heroically and getting injured?

“What happened exactly?” asked Tang Xiu, puzzled.

“This buddy came across some robbers. Precisely, he helped an old lady get her wallet back. But then he got stabbed by the hoodlums’ knife. But man! He’s quite strong-willed. For fear of delaying his registration to the campus, he pressed and covered his wound, came out of the subway entrance and ran for a few kilometers to our campus. The teachers in the registrar office learned about the situation and reported it to the cops. Later on, they learned after the police investigation that he got stabbed by the hoodlums because of his heroic act. That’s right, the children of that old lady also sent him a pennant flag. Our campus will surely become famous because of this.” Said Yue Kai.

A trace of smile was revealed on the corner of Tang Xiu’s mouth as he nodded and said, “It seems like we have more brothers in our dorms now. Well then, how about we go to the hospital to visit him?”

“Some of us has discussed it too, and we’re ready to go to the hospital in the afternoon! Zhao Liang’s dorm brothers also want to go.” Said Yue Kai.

“Alright, then we shall go together!” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

At this time, Han Qingwu entered the classroom. As she looked around the classroom and saw Tang Xiu, a trace of a smile immediately appeared on her face as she said, “The students who have just registered, come to me to fill your registration. I’m Han Qingwu and I’ll be your class’ teacher in charge for the next few years.”

Immediately, more than ten students who had just registered themselves went to Han Qingwu to write their names and phone numbers.

_Knock, knock!_

The classroom’s door was knocked and everyone’s eyes looked at the door’s direction. However, after they saw the girl in front of the classroom, each and every one of them stared blankly in a daze one after another.

A beauty! A strikingly gorgeous belle!

She was a very beautiful belle never before seen by almost all of the students in the class.

“You are?” Han Qingwu was the fastest to react as she asked.

“I’m looking for Tang Xiu!” said the gorgeous belle with a smile unfolding on her face.
