181 Rebirth Book 3 (2/2)
I immediately agreed.
”You don't have a brain, silly Miao...” Xiao Yu laughed and hung up.
I was put off by her comment and felt some resentment.
Our university is in the bustling O city, it is considered a second-tier university, there is no advantage when it comes to recruiting. For my parents, that I can be admitted to this school, it is the blessing of my ancestors for them burning tall incense sticks that I could pass brilliantly. My high school classmates were also surprised. With the exception of the Sports department, I don't think there is such a stupid university student who forgot the day school was starting and rushed out thinking they were late.
Everyone thinks that the reason I could get into the school is because I have been practicing Taekwondo from childhood up until my 2nd year of high school. I also won the championship 400 meters race in my city and so I was able to get a lot of points added to my entrance examination scores and get in as a special student. Many sports colleges would be willing to make an exception and admit students to practice and to participate in sprinting or perhaps Taekwondo competitions on their behalf. My mother agrees with this view very much, but my father dismissed her thoughts in one sentence: ”Is it easy to win the Olympic championship? What if she doesn't get to the championship and gets injured? Can you cope with that? If she doesn't win the championship, which idiot is going to marry a woman who can pick him up at any time to be his wife? There will be fewer options to pick from to marry in the future!” That coupled with my own lack of interest in professional sports. So during my third year of high school, my parents paid a high price for a tutor and urged me to work hard day and night to diligently study to make up for my lack of natural talent with hard work, to force feed and mechanically memorize information to reconcile my luck. Unexpectedly, I was able to rank about the bottom of the entry list.
After I went to university, my class instructor liked my hard working and low-key self and so every sports competition, if I can win a prize will give me a grade, and let me pass my exams with a little effort and now I am a second-year student.
The only thing that dissatisfied my instructor is that our dormitories are notoriously bad and many people are not willing to live in and I managed to escape from the accommodation. I was still a good girl in her eyes, but I moved to a rented room about 20 minutes from school under the strong demand of my parents. It is a relatively old building with five floors, it is owned by relatives who were abroad. They already opened up a lot of suites or one-bedrooms and rented them to nearby workers and students. To give my parents face, my rent is extremely low, but I have to help them collect rent and utility bills from the other tenants every month and also help tenants check-in on move-in and inspect the rooms when they move out and then send all the money to them.
I took a bus for about half an hour to get to the train station. I went about it in my usual lazy manner, I saw many students who had signed up with the student union to voluntarily welcome new students at the train station, holding up the xx university welcome signs, waiting for their lovely junior sister or brother to arrive.
Today is the last day for freshmen arrivals, so there are only a few people here for pick up, so we were bored from waiting and idly gossiping together, we were gossiping about one junior sister being very cute and complaining about not seeing any handsome junior brother yet.
As we talked, I kept scanning the crowd with eyes, this is a habit I have developed since I was a child. It seems I am always looking for someone, but who could that person be? Maybe it's just a quirk.
As we watched the wonderful scenery, someone suddenly appeared in our line of sight. It was a foreign mixed-race handsome guy. He is about 185cm tall and was wearing a simple casual shirt and jeans, the proportion of his body is also good with long legs, he looked as good as a model. His short black hair curled around and draped around his forehead, his facial features were also very delicate, together with a pair crafty looking jade green eyes that were looking around. The corner of his mouth was lifted in a smile, which made him look so loveable and dangerously handsome. He looked like the type to have adorable childish nature that many men and women were turning to look at him for a long long time, reluctant to shift their eyes.
”He's so handsome! He must be a celebrity or a model!” The students around me were excitedly saying, the official from the student union, Cheng Fanfan could not hide her excitement and held onto my arm tightly and covertly took out her phone, wanting to take pictures.
I definitely also saw the handsome guy's face and felt that he was a little familiar and felt a warm and nostalgic feeling and I felt a fondness for him as if I had gotten along with him somewhere before.
Before I could delve into my thoughts on this, the handsome guy with his two long legs, smiled brightly, showing eight beautiful teeth and came straight at us. I could almost hear Cheng Fanfan's nervous heartbeat next to me.
Finally, he stopped in front of me and deeply stared at me with his jade-like eyes. His breathing also seemed excited and rushed and he looked like he wanted to say something but was too excited to speak.
I was just about to as whether he is a freshman of our school. When the girls from our group rushed over and pushed me to the side and rapidly made the inquiry, they all had on elegant and bashful smiles on their faces, ”Is there anything I can help you with?”
The handsome guy stretched out his arms and pushed them to the side, dropped his bag and suddenly threw himself towards me and hugged me tightly in his arms and as if he was the protagonist of ”3000-mile search to find mother”, with tears filled eyes, movingly said, ”Mother!! I missed you!”
My ribs were almost broken and my heart was almost frightened to stopping from being called this astonishing name.
