Chapter 532: College Life Starts Today
Tang Ming looked at Wen Xin, offering his advice earnestly. He was well aware of Wen Xin’s intellect, which is why he was reluctant to see her venture into the biology institute.
Wen Xin’s elegant fingers tapped casually on the desk. “I’ll come back to take the exams for nuclear engineering, but I am interested in pursuing bioengineering. There’s no need for further discussion, I’m just here to inform you.”
Wen Xin had her own plans and wouldn’t be swayed by Dean Tang’s ideas, so her visit was merely to ensure that he would facilitate her entry.
Seeing Wen Xin’s resolute expression, Tang Ming sighed helplessly. “Alright, since you have your mind set, I’ll speak with Dean Sun of the biology department. Dean Sun is known for his impartiality; he won’t make exceptions for you because of your status.”
Although Wen Xin was the heir to the biology research institute, it operated with its own management distinct from the physics institute, and her status did not guarantee any special privileges there.
“I don’t need any privileges; treat me as a regular person. That would save a lot of trouble.”
“I’ll arrange it as soon as possible, Miss. How are your injuries? About the military training…”
Having discussed school matters, Tang Ming shifted his concern to Wen Xin’s physical condition. He was under the impression from Mu Chengxi’s call that her injuries were quite severe.
“They’re healed; I can participate in the military training as usual. I recover quickly and there are no lingering effects,” Wen Xin stood up, reassuring Tang Ming with a look of robust health.
Seeing Wen Xin rise, Mu Chengxi also stood up, carrying her backpack.
“If there’s nothing else, we’ll be going. Please handle the matters with the biology department,” Wen Xin’s tone was straightforward. Her identity had been clearly defined, obviating the need for excessive politeness.
“Once the military training is over, I will give you a satisfactory response.”
Tang Ming did not understand Wen Xin’s insistence on choosing the biology department over physics, but he had no right to challenge the big boss’ decisions; his role was to facilitate her endeavors.
Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi left the administrative building of the physics faculty. Wen Xin opened the passenger door of Mu Chengxi’s car and sat down, tilting her head to look at Mu Chengxi as he settled into the driver’s seat.
“Are you also puzzled why I chose the physics faculty and yet am pursuing studies in bioengineering?”
Mu Chengxi said nothing but paused his actions to start the car, turning to look at Wen Xin with a raised eyebrow, waiting for her explanation.
Wen Xin lifted her hand and pinched Mu Chengxi’s handsome cheek, smiling relaxedly, “I’ll tell you after I join the biology institute…”
As she spoke, Wen Xin’s bright eyes narrowed slightly, and Mu Chengxi, seeing the glint of mischief in her gaze, seemed to guess what Wen Xin was planning.
“Whatever you plan to do, just remember to ensure your safety!” Mu Chengxi didn’t press her for an explanation; as long as Wen Xin was safe, he would support her unconditionally.
Mu Chengxi dropped Wen Xin off at her dormitory. Wen Xin quickly pecked Mu Chengxi’s cheek before hopping out of the car.
“A goodbye kiss for you. Remember to miss me.”
Wen Xin leaned on the car window, watching a resigned Mu Chengxi, smiled coyly, then smoothly grabbed her backpack from the back seat and walked towards her dorm without looking back.
Mu Chengxi watched her retreating figure through the window, chuckling softly and muttering, “Heartless little thing.”
Back in the dormitory, Wen Xin pushed open the door, and her three roommates, who had already returned, turned their heads at the sound of the door.
Wen Xin walked in and removed her mask, revealing her delicate features, causing the three girls to stare in awe momentarily.
Wen Xin nodded slightly to her classmates as a greeting, walked past them to her bed, tossed her backpack on it, then casually picked up some hand sanitizer from the desk and headed to the washroom.
The three roommates kept their eyes on her, watching her enter the bathroom. One of them whispered, “With looks like that, are you sure she’s not from the arts department? Why on earth would she come to our physics faculty? Such a waste.”
“She’s prettier than any of those heavily made-up girls in the arts department. She could easily be the campus belle. Having a roommate with such a divine appearance… I… I feel so pressured…”
Having such a roommate might mean they’d be overshadowed in the male-dominated physics department.
Diwu Qixian, who had been silent, smiled mysteriously at the other two. She had witnessed Wen Xin’s remarkable performance during the independent admissions process and had admired her ever since.
When Wen Xin returned from the bathroom and saw the three still standing there, she walked over to her desk and pulled out a chair, preparing to sit down.
One of the girls who had praised Wen Xin’s beauty approached her warmly, “Hello, let’s get to know each other. I’m Zhou Xiaoxiao.”
Wen Xin turned to look at the enthusiastic girl and replied politely, “Wen Xin.”
Another girl watched Wen Xin with a somewhat cold demeanor, “Su Shan.”
Diwu Qixian approached Wen Xin with bright eyes and a beaming face, “Sister, we meet again. I’m Diwu Qixian.”
Hearing Diwu Qixian’s introduction, the other two glanced at her, then at Wen Xin, “You know each other?”
“We’ve met…” Wen Xin wasn’t very talkative, but she smiled softly at Diwu Qixian, recognizing her.
“No wonder Qixian was so excited about your arrival, but she didn’t tell us our roommate was going to be a fairy-like beauty.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao had a favorable impression of people with good looks, especially someone like Wen Xin, who was beautiful without being pretentious.
