Chapter 42 : Moved into the Girls_ Dormitory Building
Chapter 42: Moved into the Girls' Dormitory Building
Yunhai is not far from Luocheng, just in the neighboring province.
Chen Fan and Guo Shuai took a long-distance bus, leaving at 8:30 in the morning and arriving in Yunhai City before noon.
As soon as they got off the bus, they were startled by the crowded scene in front of them.
In addition to the endless stream of travelers, there were shuttle buses from various schools picking up new students everywhere.
Guo Shuai was lucky enough to spot the banner of the third-tier university he had applied to right away.
When he saw that most of the people in charge of welcoming new students were female, and beautiful ones at that, Guo Shuai was instantly excited.
The fatigue from the bus ride was immediately swept away.
He excitedly said to Chen Fan, "My good buddy, I've discovered that applying to this school was the right decision."
"I won't say anything else, just wait for my good news."
"As soon as I get settled, I'll come find you right away."
Saying that, Guo Shuai took the initiative and waved at the group across from them.
"Hello, senior sisters, I'm a new student here to register."
The few senior sisters were very warm and welcoming, even helping Guo Shuai carry his luggage proactively.
This scene left Guo Shuai feeling a bit overwhelmed by the favor he was receiving.
Before getting on the bus, he couldn't help but wink at Chen Fan suggestively.
"It seems that girls in big cities are indeed more forward."
"I'll go ahead first, buddy. You go register yourself."
Faced with this friend who forgot him as soon as he saw pretty girls, Chen Fan could only smile and wave goodbye.
After parting with Guo Shuai, Chen Fan continued walking alone with his backpack and rolling suitcase.
He scanned the banners of the various universities in the area.
Finally, he found the banner for Yunhai University.
There were only four students here, two males and two females.
The senior brothers and sisters were quite warm and welcoming. When they heard that Chen Fan had come to register for university alone, one of the senior brothers immediately took the initiative to help pull Chen Fan's suitcase onto the shuttle bus.
"Junior brother, you can sit here and rest for a bit. As soon as the bus is full, we'll depart right away."
Chen Fan nodded quickly, "Thank you, senior brother."
The male student smiled and asked, "You're a student from out of town, right?"
"Huh?"
"Want to buy a phone card?"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"No need for now."
The other party didn't say anything else and got off the bus.
The phone card he mentioned referred to an IC phone card, with denominations of usually 30, 50, or 100 yuan.
Whenever you needed to make a call, you could just insert the phone card into a landline phone to talk.
Chen Fan felt a bit nostalgic. It seemed that selling phone cards to university students was still a long-standing business.
In a few more years, these university students would be selling mobile phone cards to new students instead.
After about half an hour, the bus was about two-thirds full of new students and their parents.
A senior sister wearing a sun hat got on and sat in the front row.
"Driver, we can depart now."
As the bus started moving, the new students on board all looked excited, filled with anticipation and longing for university life.
Although this was his second time attending university, Chen Fan was still infected by the atmosphere of these new students and felt a bit excited as well.
Sitting by the window in the back row, Chen Fan gazed at the passing scenery outside.
He was too familiar with Yunhai.
In his previous life, he spent four years at university here, dated Su Ruochu, started his business, and laid the foundation for his commercial empire, all in Yunhai.
One could say that no one understood the urban changes in Yunhai over the next ten to twenty years better than Chen Fan.
He even knew this city better than his own birthplace of Luocheng.
Watching the fleeting scenery outside the window, Chen Fan took a deep breath.
His own business... would start from this city.
The shuttle bus entered the campus of Yunhai University.
The entire campus was already crowded with people.
Along the main road on campus, shade canopies were set up.
Each department had put up banners and set up desks, chairs, and benches to form temporary registration points for new students.
In addition, various university clubs had also taken this opportunity to advertise and recruit new members along both sides of the road.
Starting from the entrance, looking along the main road, rows of banners and colorful shade canopies lined up side by side, extending endlessly into the distance, making a very striking impression.
The roads were already crowded with people, filled with new students from all over the country who had come to register.
Chen Fan was experienced and didn't look around aimlessly. He dragged his suitcase all the way to the registration point for new students at the School of Economics and Management.
He registered, signed in, received the new student admission guide and new student registration process.
He once again declined the senior brother's temptation to sell him a phone card.
Chen Fan squeezed out of the main road alone with his suitcase, found a less crowded street, and headed towards the dormitory area.
In his previous life, although Chen Fan did not attend Yunhai University, he had frequented the campus many times when he was dating Su Ruochu.
He was very familiar with every building on this campus.
The library, the Information Building, the Bridge of Knowledge, the Lovers' Slope, the Lake of Yearning...
Seeing all these familiar places, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile slightly.
Everything felt so intimate and familiar.
As he passed by the teaching building area, Chen Fan noticed that a few buildings were still under construction.
The basketball gymnasium and Building No. 7 that he remembered had only just started construction at this time.
Taking a detour to reminisce cost him some time.
Chen Fan found his way to Dormitory Building No. 8 using his memory alone.
He dragged his suitcase up to the third floor.
Just as he was about to catch his breath, two senior sisters wearing loose nightgowns, with wet hair, came down the stairs carrying basins.
Chen Fan was startled and quickly turned away.
"Sorry, sorry, did I come to the wrong building?"
"Excuse me, is this Dormitory Building No. 8?"
Seeing Chen Fan's embarrassed expression, the two senior sisters giggled.
"Aw, the little junior brother is so cute."
"Which department are you from?"
Chen Fan stood sideways with his head lowered, not daring to look at them.
However, since the two senior sisters had just taken a shower, a faint scent of body wash lingered on them.
It smelled nice.
"I...I'm a first-year student majoring in marketing at the School of Economics and Management."
"Hehehe, then you're in the right place," one of the long-haired senior sisters explained with a smile.
"Our school admitted too many new students this year, and the new dormitory buildings aren't finished yet."
"So the school readjusted the dormitory arrangements. The graduate student sisters who used to live in Building No. 8 have been moved out."
"I heard it's been given to the new students majoring in marketing at the School of Economics and Management."
Chen Fan stared with his mouth agape in disbelief.
"They can do that?"
The two girls smiled and looked Chen Fan over.
"The first and second floors have been allocated entirely to new students, while only half of the third floor is for new students."
The long-haired beauty pointed as she spoke.
"See that iron door down the hallway? Beyond that is the girls' dormitory area, while this side is reserved for you new students."
"You're not allowed to go over there without permission in the future."
Chen Fan looked dumbfounded.
"Isn't this just mixed-gender dormitories?"
"It's only temporary. Once the new male dormitory building is completed, you'll all be moved over there."
Seeing Chen Fan's conflicted expression, the long-haired senior sister couldn't help but tease with a smile.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to live with beautiful girls?"
"Or are you afraid we might eat you up?"
Chen Fan glanced at her.
Thinking to himself, who knows who might eat who.
Seeming to find Chen Fan quite handsome, the senior sister couldn't resist joking flirtingly.
"Little junior brother, do you have a girlfriend? Want me to introduce you to one?"
"What type of girl do you like? Good figure or long legs? Slim or plump? Tall or big chest?"
"Just tell me your standards, and this senior sister can help find one that meets your criteria."
Chen Fan hurriedly waved his hands.
"Senior sister, please don't say that. I'm not that kind of person."
