Not long after leaving the hospital, Ning Chuan received a call from Qin Shiyun.
She had already driven herself to the company, so she told Ning Chuan that he didn't need to pick her up from Tang Yuanchan's villa.
Ning Chuan hung up the phone and checked the location of the surveillance chip he had placed in Qin Shiyun's bag.
It showed that she had arrived at the beauty company, which put his mind at ease.
He then changed direction and headed to Jiangnan University.
Upon reaching the school, Ning Chuan took his acceptance letter and went to the freshmen registration area to collect the items provided by the school.
He then found his assigned dormitory.
It was a standard four-person room, with each person's name and photo posted on the door for easy identification.
However, the dormitory was empty, with only three beds neatly made and one empty.
Ning Chuan carefully examined the photos of his three roommates on the door, placed his belongings on his bed, and then he left the dormitory.
Since he had no plans to stay on campus, he didn't bother making his bed.
Ning Chuan strolled around the campus for a while, feeling a sense of nostalgia.
When he was thirteen years old, the old man from the mountain took him away, and he had just started middle school at that time.
For him back then, university was a sacred place, a place filled with infinite anticipation.
Now, under Tang Yuanchan's arrangement, he had the opportunity to enter university, fulfilling his childhood wish.
Jiangnan University was ranked around the top twenty in the country, making it one of the best universities in Jiangcheng.
Most of the students here had excellent academic records or came from well-off families.
Of course, there were also students from humble backgrounds, but their numbers were few.
Soon, Ning Chuan familiarized himself with the campus by exploring every corner.
It was his instinctive habit whenever he arrived in a new place.
At this moment, by the artificial lake on campus, a girl in a white dress was reading a thick foreign book.
The girl, named Ye Bing, was one of the four campus beauties of Jiangnan University.
True to her name, she exuded an icy beauty.
Suddenly, Ye Bing raised her head and saw Ning Chuan's figure not far away. Her eyes sparkled with surprise.
Subsequently, holding the thick foreign book in her hands, she lowered her head and walked towards Ning Chuan as if she hadn't noticed him.
In the moment they were about to pass by each other, Ye Bing pretended to be engrossed in her book and accidentally bumped into Ning Chuan, her foot stepping on his shoe.
"Ouch!"
Ye Bing let out a soft cry, raised her head, and apologized to Ning Chuan, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Ning Chuan replied indifferently, ready to leave.
"Excuse me, I accidentally bumped into you and dirtied your shoe. How about I treat you to a drink as an apology?" Ye Bing smiled hopefully.
"No need," Ning Chuan said.
"Erm..." Ye Bing was clearly taken aback.
As one of the four campus beauties of Jiangnan University, she took the initiative to invite a male student for a drink, only to be rejected?
However, if the person in front of her was really who she thought he was, then it wouldn't be surprising.
"Well, if you're busy, it's okay. I'll treat you next time. By the way, my name is Ye Bing. What's your name? Shall we exchange WeChat?" Ye Bing quickly reacted and maintained her smile.
"I'm Ning Chuan. No need for WeChat," Ning Chuan replied indifferently.
How could Ning Chuan not know that Ye Bing had deliberately bumped into him just now?
Over the past few years, Ning Chuan has encountered many women.
Many of them have shown interest in him. However, Ning Chuan has a principle. He welcomes mature women but rejects female students.
He believes that female students are not yet true adult women and are not responsible enough for their actions.
Of course, if Ye Bing intentionally bumped into him for another purpose, that's a different story. After coldly rejecting her, Ning Chuan sidestepped Ye Bing and continued walking forward.
"Could it be... really you?"
"If it's really you... as long as you're a student at this school, it will be easy..."
Seeing that Ning Chuan completely ignored her and left, Ye Bing initially felt resentful, but soon a hint of smile and relief appeared on her face.
If it really was the person from that year, then his treatment of her was just normal.
Ning Chuan hadn't walked far when he encountered three male students coming towards him.
Recalling the photos on the dormitory door, he immediately recognized them as his roommates. The one with the heaviest build was called Ji Xingyu, a local of Jiangcheng.
The one with slightly darker skin was named Zuo Enhua, from the southwestern Yun Province.
And there was a tall guy, named Wang Xianmin, from the northeastern region.
The three roommates also immediately recognized Ning Chuan.
"Hey! Brother! Why did you just arrive? You're already famous in our class!"
The three of them approached him in a friendly manner, and after a brief conversation, Ning Chuan learned that basically all the freshmen had already reported in.
Just now, their class had already held the first class meeting, and he was the only one absent.
Now, it happened to be after the class meeting, and everyone was heading back.
"Ning Chuan, be careful. Our class flower and class monitor, Jiang Churan, is behind us. She might
say a few words to you." Ji Xingyu kindly reminded him.
"Me? What about me?" Ning Chuan asked.
As they were talking, a young girl walked briskly towards them. Her figure was unusually mature for her age, and her curves were enviable to many fully developed women.
Her attire was also cool, with a slightly short shirt revealing her belly button and a pair of super short shorts, showcasing her long, beautiful legs, along with a pair of white sneakers.
She exuded youthful energy while also possessing a sense of womanly beauty.
She was the recently elected class flower and class monitor, Jiang Churan.
"Ji Xingyu, is he Ning Chuan from your dormitory? The one who was absent from the class meeting?"
Jiang Churan approached with large strides.
"Uh... yeah... Let me introduce, this is Ning Chuan."
"Ning Chuan, this is our class monitor, Jiang Churan." Ji Xingyu quickly introduced.
"So, you're Ning Chuan? The only one absent from the class meeting? You were clearly at school, why didn't you attend the meeting? Are you trying to stand out in this way, or do you have no sense of collective honor?"
Jiang Churan walked up to Ning Chuan, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, while her tone is unfriendly.
Ning Chuan ignored her for a full ten seconds.
"I'm talking to you! Do you have any manners? Any decency?" Jiang Churan instantly became angry.
Ning Chuan took a step back but still didn't respond to her.
"What's your problem?" Jiang Churan frowned.
"You spit in my mouth." Ning Chuan wiped the corner of his mouth and said calmly.
"You! You rascal!" Jiang Churan's face turned red, and she stomped her feet in anger.
