Chapter 15 School starts
The day has finally come for me to register for school.
Ning Jian and Gu Ai specially arranged for their driver to bring a minivan so that their whole family could go see Ning Yi off. Apart from the seats for the few of them, the other seats and the trunk were filled with Ning Yi's things.
After driving for more than an hour, we finally arrived at Nanjing University.
We got stuck in traffic for a while while we were still on the road, and the area near the school was already packed with people.
Looking at the people outside, Ning's mother said with some worry, "Oh dear, with so many people, how are we going to move all this stuff inside?"
Ning Anyuan was speechless. Now he knew.
After the driver parked the car, they decided in the car to take some of the items to their dormitory and return the rest to their apartment later.
Actually, Ning Yi still had some belongings, and her father even sent a car to deliver them directly to her apartment.
Ning Yi felt somewhat helpless about this.
However, I have to admit that since I'll be staying in Nanzhou for so long, and all my clothes and jewelry at home are still brand new and untouched, I'm really itching to use them.
After getting off the car, the driver and Ning Anyuan helped carry the things, while Ning Jian carried the remaining odds and ends.
As soon as I entered the school gate, many senior students volunteered to help me carry my things, but we already had enough people, so we didn't need their help.
After going through a series of registration procedures, they were successfully led to the dormitory building by their senior.
However, to be fair, NTU lives up to its reputation as a prestigious university; the decor and environment look quite nice, and I've heard that it occupies a particularly large area.
I asked the dorm aunt for the password to my room. Their dorm building has an elevator, so thankfully I don't have to climb stairs.
Her dormitory was on the third floor, and they took the elevator upstairs.
Ning Yi found the dormitory number and went inside, only to find that there was already a girl in the room.
The dorm rooms here are all for four people, and the rooms are quite large.
The girls inside turned around upon hearing the sound and greeted Ningyi and the others warmly.
An Xiaonuo happily said to Ning Yi, "Hello, are you my roommate? My name is An Xiaonuo."
Ning Yi looked up and saw a girl in front of her wearing black-rimmed glasses, a pinafore dress, and a side braid. Her bed was already made, and her desk was also set out.
Ning Yi smiled faintly: "Hello, my name is Ning Yi."
Then Gu Ai walked up to her very warmly: "Little girl, you're here so early!"
An Xiaonuo was a little reserved, and nodded as she stood to the side: "My home isn't far from Nanzhou, and I arrived a little early."
Ning Yi stepped forward and introduced An Xiaonuo: "These are my parents, and this is my brother."
An Xiaonuo looked at their family, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, and lowered her head: "Hello."
After Ning Yi chose her bed, everyone helped her tidy up.
While I was still tidying up, a new roommate arrived.
A girl with big wavy hair and sunglasses walked in, carrying a designer bag. The person behind her looked to be her father.
The girl walked in, looked around the dormitory, and then looked at Ning Yi and the others: "Hello, my name is Qiao Na."
An Xiaonuo politely replied, "Hello, my name is An Xiaonuo, and this is Ning Yi."
Ning nodded in greeting, then turned to Gu Ai and the others and said, "Mom and Dad, brother, you can go outside and wait for me. It's almost all tidied up here, otherwise there won't be enough room for everyone."
They nodded and prepared to leave.
Ning Anyuan said to Ning Yi, "We'll wait for you downstairs. We'll be waiting for you to eat in a bit."
Ning Yi nodded obediently: "Okay."
When Ning Anyuan passed by Qiao Na, she couldn't help but take a second look.
"Is this your brother?" Jona raised an eyebrow and looked at Ning Yi.
Ning Yi nodded: "He is my brother."
Jona smiled and said, "He's quite handsome."
Ning Yi didn't expect Qiao Na to be so direct, and smiled awkwardly.
Because An Xiaonuo was the first to finish packing, she helped Ning Yi, and then Ning Yi finished packing and joined in to help Qiao Na.
It's clear that Jona has a very doting father. While helping her pack, her father was constantly worried about her, afraid that she wouldn't be comfortable staying there. He even said that if she felt uncomfortable, she could call him anytime and he would send someone to pick her up immediately.
However, they didn't mention Jona's mother in their conversation.
It's clear that Jona has a rather picky personality. She complained that the dorm was too small, and there wasn't even enough room for half of her things. She also said that she definitely wouldn't be able to get used to the food there.
After they finished helping out, Jona's father thanked them.
"Where are your family?" Jona asked An Xiaonuo curiously, tidying her hair.
An Xiaonuo pursed her lips awkwardly upon hearing this: "They...they arrived quite a while ago. I arrived early, so I packed up quickly and let them leave first."
Jona nodded casually, then said, "Then my dad and I will go eat first, bye."
Ning Yi and An Xiaonuo waved to them, and then Qiao Na disappeared into the dormitory.
“One of my roommates hasn’t arrived yet,” An Xiaonuo said.
“Yes, I’m going to have dinner with my parents too,” Ning Yi said, then hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"Do you want to come with us? After all, it's still a bit unfamiliar here."
An Xiaonuo felt a little embarrassed and quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, you should go quickly, your aunt and uncle will be waiting for a long time."
Ning Yi kindly continued, "From now on, we'll be roommates, so don't be shy. They have great personalities, so don't worry."
An Xiaonuo politely declined.
Ning Yi didn't say anything more and just looked at An Xiaonuo.
Then Ning Yi also left the dormitory.
They had lunch nearby, and then took Ningyi to buy some daily necessities. Gu Ai said she would go to the apartment later to help tidy up Ningyi's things. After taking Ningyi back to the dormitory building, everyone said goodbye to her with reluctance.
Having spent so much time with everyone, it's hard to adjust to living alone all of a sudden, and I feel a bit empty inside.
Ning Yi carried her things back to her dormitory.
They discovered that only An Xiaonuo and another girl they didn't recognize were in the dormitory.
The girl had a lot of food in her bag, and she put some on everyone's table.
They heard the door open and turned around.
The girl was exquisitely beautiful, with golden-brown hair, and looked like a porcelain doll.
The girl's eyes lit up when she saw Ning Yi, and she said happily, "Hello, my name is Li Man, and my English name is Leila."
Ning Yi replied, "Hello, my name is Ning Yi."
Li Man took a box of exquisite chocolates out of the bag and handed it to Ning Yi: "Try this, it's delicious!"
Ning Yi, somewhat overwhelmed by her enthusiasm, quickly accepted, saying, "Thank you."
