Back in 1978, I was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Chapter 18 From Middle-Aged Man to Handsome Young Man

Uncle? Qin Liang was instantly dumbfounded. What did that mean? This classmate next to him was calling him uncle?
Due to issues left over from previous years, there are many older young people in the new three classes, some even in their thirties or forties. However, my studies haven't been delayed at all. I'm only eighteen years old, yet people are already calling me "uncle."
Qin Liang pointed to himself: "You called me?"

"Yes, sir, you're the kind of student I admire most. Those ten years didn't hinder your studies at all..."

*Slap!* Qin Liang slapped his deskmate on the head.

"Ouch! Uncle, why did you hit me!"

So, all eyes turned to them again.

Qin Liang couldn't help but say, "Yang Wei, I know it's impressive that you got into university at fifteen, but I'm only eighteen. Are you calling me 'uncle'?"

Yang Wei rubbed his head, his eyes wide: "You're only eighteen? But..."

When Yu Zhi saw Qin Liang start hitting someone, she immediately frowned. Bullying classmates is a serious violation of school rules. Although Qin Liang is very powerful, we cannot encourage his behavior!

She was just about to deal with it strictly, but after hearing Qin Liang's words, she couldn't continue.

At this moment, Qin Liang's hair was growing wildly and messily. He must have washed his face before leaving, but he didn't wash it clean. There was still some dirt on his face, mixed with his fuzzy beard. From a distance, it looked like the stubble of his sideburns.

It's indeed easy to mistake him for an older man!
At this moment, all the students in the class looked over.

At the next table sat a female classmate who, seeing Qin Liang's frustrated expression, quietly handed him a small mirror.

A scent of face cream wafted over, and Qin Liang, ignoring the appearance of the female classmate next to him, picked up a small mirror and glanced at himself.

"Damn it, Lao Sha, Lao Liu, you've ruined me!"

After saying that, Qin Liang darted away again.

"Classmates, please introduce yourselves! Let's all get to know each other. First up is Qin Liang, everyone already knows him. Next, Yang Wei, you're second!"

"I?"

"That's right, Qin Liang was first in the class just now, and you were second."

what?
Everyone was moved. That unkempt, disheveled man, who even exuded a masculine aura, was actually the top student in the class?

At the next table, Zhao Xiaoxia retrieved the small mirror that Qin Liang had left behind, her mind filled with countless questions.

It seems Qin Liang already knew the homeroom teacher. Also, who are Lao Sha and Lao Liu that he's talking about? What has he been doing all this time?
"Um, everyone, my name is Yang Wei, and I'm fifteen years old..."

"You're so young, how did you get into school?" Zhao Xiaoxia couldn't help but ask, "Did you skip several grades?"

"I graduated from junior high school this year, and my exam results were pretty good, so my teacher made an exception and let me take the college entrance exam. I originally just wanted to give it a try, but I never expected... that I would end up here. It's my destiny to be classmates with everyone like this..."

Zhao Xiaoxia was utterly shocked. What kind of prodigies were in her class?!

"Next, the girl next to you, please introduce yourself!"

Zhao Xiaoxia was taken aback: "Me? Am I third in the class?"

"Well, to avoid putting any pressure on everyone, we'll proceed with the seating order instead of rankings!"

Zhao Xiaoxia was somewhat disappointed, but she still spoke confidently: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Xiaoxia. Everyone says that boys are best suited for science and engineering, but I, Zhao Xiaoxia, don't believe that! We girls can study science and engineering just as well, and we can even surpass the boys! Qin Liang and Yang Wei, who just spoke, both have good grades. I hereby challenge you all: I will get first place in the midterm exams!" Yu Zhi on the stage nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, Xiaoxia is very good. Our class needs this kind of indomitable spirit. Whether you're a girl or a boy, you must strive for first place!"

However... it will be difficult for you to surpass the number one team! And you're about to suffer a setback!

After half an hour.

"Okay, all the students have introduced themselves. Next, we'll distribute the books... Qin Liang hasn't returned yet. Yang Wei, as his deskmate, you can collect his book."

"Ah."

"Teacher, where are the books? We, the students in dormitory 308, will go and move them!" Tang Changhong stood up.

Since everyone has just arrived and doesn't know each other yet, the teacher hasn't immediately selected class officers. Now is a great opportunity for everyone to show their abilities!
Yu Zhi gave Tang Changhong a satisfied look: "Okay, find a few classmates to go to the logistics department..."

Before he could finish speaking, a whole bunch of male students rushed out.

Twenty minutes later.

"Teacher, did you get the wrong textbooks?" Tang Changhong looked at the books that had been unbundled and were ready to be distributed to the students. The covers were covered in tadpole-like characters, similar to Russian letters, but when put together, they were completely unrecognizable. If she wasn't mistaken...

"Yes, teacher, these should be textbooks for the English department, right? We must have moved the wrong ones!" Another voice rang out, "Let's move them back!"

Some quick-thinking individuals had already started moving things out, and just then, a young man appeared at the doorway.

Neat buzz cut, handsome features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, brand new white polyester short-sleeved shirt, gray trousers...

"Excuse me, have you come to the wrong place? Can't you find your classroom? Which class are you in? I'll tell you how to get there..."

"I..." Qin Liang was a little embarrassed for a moment.

He went to the barbershop to get a haircut, took a shower at the public bathhouse, changed his clothes, looked in the mirror to make sure he was a young man in good spirits, and then returned to the classroom. He accomplished so much in such a short time; all I can say is that he was very... fast!

In the aircraft department, how could it not be fast?
But then, hearing everyone's questions, he suddenly realized something—he probably shouldn't be here...

Okay, hurry up and leave. You're not in class 5381!

“Wait, this student looks familiar. Are you… Qin Liang?” Zhao Xiaoxia asked.

Qin Liang is back?
The middle-aged man's image has disappeared, and he's become a handsome young man?

"Ahem, um, I'm back..."

"Qin Liang, please come in and sit down. Don't block the door. We'll exchange the books later," Tang Changhong said.

"Classmates, this is our textbook for Class 5381." Yu Zhi's voice rang out: "In Class 5381, several courses will be taught entirely in English."

"What? Teacher, who came up with this terrible idea?"

"That's right, they're messing with us! Our foreign language is Russian!"
