"Do you live in Xinkang Community?" Zhou Qian asked, noticing Mo Chen's suspicion.
"Uh... yes." Mo Chen was a little confused. Did they really know each other?
"You went to Rabbit City No. 2 Elementary School, Class 3, right?" Zhou Qian continued to ask.
"Uh... all correct... I don't remember you?" Mo Chen scratched his head, still unable to recall the other person.
"Sure enough, ugly people have no friends. You used to follow me around all the time when we were kids... How could you forget that now?" Zhou Qian looked pained, as if she had suffered a great loss. Of course, if his expression were more natural, Mo Chen would believe him.
Mo Chen slapped his thigh and pointed at Zhou Qian, exclaiming, "I remember now!"
Zhou Qian beamed. "Oh, you finally remembered!"
Mo Chen: "You're a snotty-nosed girl, aren't you?"
Zhou Qian: "..."
Should we admit it? I'm so angry, I want to beat him to death. I wish I hadn't come to acknowledge him.
The surrounding passengers couldn't help but suppress their laughter when they heard that such a beautiful girl had such an "unexpected" nickname when she was a child. Even Zhou Qian's father, Uncle Zhou, burst out laughing.
"Hehe, just kidding. I didn't expect that after so many years, I wouldn't recognize you at all." Mo Chen finally remembered that he had indeed played with the other person for a period of time when he was a child. Speaking of playing, it wasn't really playing. It was just that when Mo Chen was a child, he saw that Zhou Qian always had a runny nose and thought it was funny, so he often followed her around calling her "Snotty Girl" and "Snotty Girl." Over time, they became familiar with each other. Later, when Mo Chen was in the second grade of elementary school, he remembered that the other party had moved away and he had never contacted her since.
He never expected to run into her here today, and the other person even recognized him. Her ability to recognize people is truly amazing. You have to understand, they hadn't seen each other for over ten years, and they were just little kids back then.
"Yeah, yeah, the little tagalong from back then has grown into a handsome guy now," Zhou Qian said irritably, rolling her eyes at Mo Chen. How could you say such a dark history in front of so many people! The good mood from running into my childhood friend vanished instantly.
"Just kidding, don't be angry." After realizing it was someone he knew, Mo Chen lowered his guard and became less distant.
"Hmph!" Zhou Qian adopted an attitude of ignoring him, seemingly not wanting to pay any attention to Mo Chen.
Mo Chen chuckled awkwardly and started to change the subject. "Where did your family move to later?"
"Eagle City." Zhou Qian refused to say another word.
"Oh, I have a question for you!"
"What's the problem?"
"Do you know why foxes are prone to tripping and falling?"
"Hmm... because of my leg?" Zhou Qian shook her head.
"Because foxes are cunning!"
"Boring!" Zhou Qian rolled her eyes at Mo Chen.
"Do you know why silkworms are so rich?" Mo Chen continued to ask.
"Because they sell silk?"
"...because silkworms spin cocoons (thrift)," Mo Chen chuckled.
"Hmph! They might as well sell silk!"
Mo Chen sighed helplessly. "Fine, fine, you decide."
"Then do you know why toilets have to have roofs?" Zhou Qian suddenly asked.
"Uh... because I'm afraid of getting excited?" Mo Chen replied subconsciously.
"...because God has eyes." Zhou Qian was speechless. What's wrong with your brain? How could you even think of something like that?
"Haha!" Their conversation didn't make the other person laugh, but it did make everyone around them laugh.
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, Zhou Qian felt too embarrassed to stay angry and ultimately chose to forgive him.
...
Because Zhou Qian came along, Mo Chen no longer had time to study his star chart and was forced to "chase girls." Although they hadn't seen each other for over ten years, Mo Chen felt there wasn't much of a distance between them, and they chatted happily.
Hmm... that's the advantage of handsome men and beautiful women. If one of them is unattractive, do you think there will be any barriers between them?
Mo Chen never expected to run into his childhood friend while going to school. What surprised him even more was that the snotty-nosed, slovenly girl from childhood had transformed into a stunning beauty. How should I put it? Girls change a lot as they grow up? Is the snotty-nosed girl a potential gem?
Okay, no matter how pretty the other person is, it has nothing to do with him. He won't pursue her just because she's pretty. What do you call that kind of behavior? Simp! Does pursuing someone make you a simp? That's right, he's a simp! That's how it's defined online now! He has no intention of becoming a sycophant.
So...
The three-hour journey ended quickly, and Mo Chen naturally got into the same car with Zhou Qian and her father to head to Long City University. Upon arriving at the school, Mo Chen and Zhou Qian exchanged contact information and then went their separate ways, since they were not in the same major. One is a computer network engineer, the other is an accounting major; naturally, their paths diverge.
Before leaving, Uncle Zhou asked Mo Chen to take good care of Zhou Qian, since he knew Mo Chen well and could feel at ease with him.
After politely declining the directions offered by several "enthusiastic" girls, Mo Chen carried his suitcase to the registration area by himself.
It has to be said that being charming can also be a problem; countless girls came up to him for his phone number along the way. University girls are indeed more open-minded.
After submitting his admission notice, filling out the required information, and receiving his campus card and dormitory key, Mo Chen carried his suitcase to his dormitory. The other three people in the dormitory had already arrived, each packing their own luggage, waiting for Mo Chen to arrive so they could introduce themselves.
"My name is Sun Tao. You can just call me Fatty," a fat man who looked to weigh over 200 pounds said with a smile to the three of them.
"My name is Zheng Wenjun, hello." This man, dressed in glasses, looked refined and shy.
"Li Ming, please take care of me from now on. By the way, please don't call me Xiao Ming..." The third roommate seemed very talkative and the kind who was naturally outgoing.
Finally, it was Mo Chen's turn, and he was introduced as well. Fatty and Li Ming are majoring in mechanical and electrical engineering, while Mo Chen and Zheng Wenjun are both majoring in computer science. So, there wasn't a situation where the four roommates had four different majors.
Since everyone was young, they quickly became acquainted after a few introductions and a short chat. Just as Mo Chen had observed, the fat man was cheerful and easygoing. Zheng Wenjun, on the other hand, didn't talk much, but he listened attentively, understanding the importance of integrating into the group. As for Li Ming... he was practically a "machine gun." When the four of them were chatting, he talked more than the other three.
At noon, the four of them decided to have lunch outside the school. Mo Chen really wanted to refuse to study his own star chart, but considering the importance of integrating into the group, he went along anyway. He returned to his dormitory drunk at 3:40 PM and went straight to sleep.
Mo Chen finally had the opportunity to "cultivate immortality."
