Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 35: Entering School Early and Planning for Housing

The bespectacled boy sat right between Zhao Rui and the girl. As soon as he sat down, he smiled and started chatting with her.

"Hello, are you also going to Jeju Island to study?"

The girl brushed a stray strand of hair from her temple and smiled slightly, "Yes!"

"What a coincidence, me too! Let's get acquainted, I'm Choi Won from Jeju University!"

"Hi Cui Yuan, can you do me a favor?"

The girl blinked slightly, her long eyelashes like a gentle breeze caressing the willows, carrying the bright spirit of spring.

"No problem, just tell me!"

Upon hearing this, Cui realized that the beautiful woman was asking for his help, and that she was treating him like family! He immediately beamed and readily agreed.

Can I switch seats with you?

The girl said softly.

Cui was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied, "You don't like sitting in the back, right? It's okay, I'll sit on the side."

After saying that, he stood up gracefully and switched places with the girl.

As their bodies intertwined, the girl's fragrance wafted into his nostrils, stirring his heart.

He was already imagining a wonderful scene in his mind: chatting happily with the girl along the way, exchanging contact information after getting off the bus, and gradually becoming a couple.

After the two switched places, the girl lowered her eyes and whispered, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome! You're welcome!"

Upon hearing these soft, gentle words, Cui scratched the back of his head, his expression unusually shy.

The girl smiled radiantly, like a plum blossom blooming proudly against the frost and snow in early spring!
Cui was excited and was about to start a conversation to further develop their chance encounter on the trip when he saw the girl turn slightly to the side, her beautiful eyes gazing affectionately at the boy by the window.

"..."

Cui felt instantly bewildered.

"Don't you think we're quite destined for each other?"

The girl looked at Zhao Rui with a half-smile and said something meaningful.

"Do we know each other? I've been too busy with exams lately, I forgot! Who are you?"

Zhao Rui feigned ignorance and replied.

"Boys are all such jerks, they forget about me so quickly!!"

The girl's delicate, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows were tinged with sadness, and her bright, clear eyes seemed about to shed tears, making her all the more endearing.

Upon hearing these words, Cui was struck dumb and looked utterly dejected.

"Oh, now that you're being so affectionate, it reminds me that you're my girlfriend! I'm so sorry!"

Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appeared on his lips, and his right hand reached out to the other person's delicate hand placed at their side.

The girl rolled her eyes upon hearing this. This guy is still as shameless as ever.

"Didn't we break up? Look, you've forgotten again!"

Before she finished speaking, her left hand had already formed a hand seal, swiftly slicing across his wrist.

Zhao Rui dodged with his elbow and was about to counterattack, but unexpectedly, his opponent moved even faster, his five fingers turning into claws, already grabbing at his thigh.

Zhao Rui quickly pointed his fingers like a sword at the vital points on the opponent's wrist, forcing him to dodge.

The girl twisted her wrist to dodge, and after failing to strike, she stopped attacking. Her originally menacing claw technique instantly transformed into delicate, soft hands.

Yes, we broke up!

Zhao Rui was surprised that in just three months, this woman's martial arts skills had improved so rapidly that they were in no way inferior to his own.

The girl seemed surprised as well, a fleeting look of astonishment crossing her eyes as she looked at Zhao Rui.

The exchange between the two took place in the blink of an eye, but Cui, who was sitting in the aisle, couldn't help but eavesdrop, unwilling to give up.

When Zhao Rui so casually said that he had forgotten his girlfriend...

He looked over in astonishment.

This glance was all it took; he saw the girl's fair hand reaching towards Zhao Rui's thigh, and he was instantly filled with despair.

He muttered under his breath, "You bitch!"

Feeling incredibly frustrated, she turned away, no longer in the mood to pay attention to the two people sitting next to her "showing affection."

What are you going to Jeju for? To study? As a freshman?

Since it was impossible to determine a winner in one or two moves, the girl naturally wouldn't "spar" with Zhao Rui in public. Instead, she leaned forward slightly like an old friend and chatted about everyday things in a gentle and casual manner.

"Yeah, freshman, where are you? What are you going to do?"

"Do you want to hear it?"

"Forget it, I don't want to hear it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui immediately shook his head.

The girl slightly raised her bright, peach-blossom eyes and said with a smile, "You know what's good for you!"

Zhao Rui smiled slightly and said nothing more.

This girl was none other than the "male hardening engineer" I had met in the alley earlier, the beautiful woman who could wield the Ghost Claw.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye, and I never expected to run into you here.

Give me your WeChat ID!

Although Zhao Rui ignored her, the girl still seemed interested, taking her phone out of her shoulder bag and opening WeChat.

"Sister, we've only just met, there's no need for this. Once we get off the bus, we'll go our separate ways..."

"You're overthinking it. I just think you're a jerk and I want to beat you up!"

"..."

Zhao Rui's face twitched involuntarily, but he readily opened his WeChat and added the other person as a friend.

Whether she gets beaten up or not is another matter; at least her ghostly claws are quite tempting.

This is a legitimate yet heretical martial art, a high-level technique passed down through a sect.

"Alright, you're a man. I'll come find you once you're settled! Get ready to get beaten up!"

On WeChat, a WeChat account named Youyou sent a message along with a GIF that read "I respect you as a man."

"hehe!"

Zhao Rui was speechless for a moment, gave a perfunctory "hehe," and then turned his head to look out the car window.

Seeing this, the girl didn't say anything more, leaned back slightly, and closed her eyes to rest.

The journey from Imseong to Jeju is not far; it only takes about two hours by high-speed rail.

Zhao Rui glanced at the fleeting scenery outside the window for a while, then, like the girl next to him, closed his eyes to rest.

Those who practice martial arts can train whether walking, sitting, or lying down. Only through diligent and continuous practice can one accumulate experience and eventually unleash its full potential.

He wasn't familiar with this girl, so there was no need for him to say much.

Everyone should just do their own thing.

However, Cui, who was sitting in the same seat, experienced strong emotional fluctuations throughout the journey.

They initially thought the two were a couple, but later they discovered that they ignored each other and acted like complete strangers.

My mind immediately became active again.

He wanted to say a few words to the girl and show off his charm, but after she closed her eyes, she never opened them again.

This made him incredibly anxious.

The girl only slowly opened her eyes when the train arrived at Jeju High Speed ​​Rail Station and the announcer announced its arrival. With just one glance, Choi felt a chill run through her body, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss.

Those bright eyes held a chilling glint, captivating and alluring, like a fairy descending from the heavens or a demonic enchantress descending to earth.

He was completely devoid of emotion.

He couldn't help but shiver. When he looked over again, the girl's eyes had become gentle and tender, like misty autumn water, charming and affectionate.

An illusion must be an illusion.

"We've arrived at our destination. Meeting you is fate. Can I add you on WeChat?"

Cui said nervously, glancing occasionally at Zhao Rui, who was still resting with his eyes closed.

"Of course!"

The girl smiled brightly and readily agreed.

"Ah? Ah!"

Cui was immediately excited and quickly opened his phone to add the girl on WeChat.

The train soon came to a slow stop on the tracks.
The arriving passengers stood up one by one, took their luggage, and prepared to disembark.

Cui diligently took the girl's suitcase down from the luggage rack, and seeing that Zhao Rui didn't seem to care, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking again at the girl's graceful figure and pretty face, his heart burned even hotter.

As the bus arrived at the station, passengers began to slowly walk out, and the girl followed Cui off the bus one after the other along the aisle.

Zhao Rui, on the other hand, waited patiently until the very end before leisurely leaving the carriage.

This woman is no good; he doesn't want to have much contact with her.

As I exited the station with my suitcase, I immediately saw several school reception points set up there.

As one of the top universities in the provincial capital, Dongqi University's reception area is naturally very eye-catching.

Zhao Rui carried his suitcase and walked over. Soon, a senior student came up to him and led him to the reception vehicle. They waited for the group to gather before setting off together.

These situations are no different from my experience of going to university in my previous life.

By 11:30 a.m., Zhao Rui had already arrived at the campus of Dongqi University by shuttle bus.

After getting off the bus, he followed the crowd toward the college's new student reception area.

Dongqi University covers a vast area, and the distances between colleges are also quite far.

Following the map and the signs on both sides of the road, Zhao Rui walked for quite a while before finally arriving at the office building of the School of Accounting.

This time, the registration office for new students of the School of Accounting was set up in the small square in front of the school's office building.

A dozen or so senior students stood under the sunshade, warmly welcoming the freshmen who arrived one after another.

Many of the new students came on their own, while some were brought by their parents. A total of forty or fifty people gathered in front of the reception point.

Zhao Rui wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently until after noon when he finally completed the enrollment procedures. Led by a senior student, he and seven others headed to the dormitory building.

The School of Accounting is divided into four majors: Accounting, International Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Management.

Of these seven people, only one is an accounting major, and that person is a girl.

As for her appearance, her biggest advantage is that she is young.

If nothing unexpected happens, this girl should be one of Zhao Rui's classmates or classmates in the same department.

However, the girl seemed rather reserved and shy, appearing timid and hesitant.

After walking along the campus path for about seven or eight minutes, the boys, led by their senior classmates, entered the dormitory building.

"The room on the far west side of the first floor, number 126."

Zhao Rui glanced at the notification in his hand, picked up his suitcase, and walked over.

The door was ajar, and there were clearly people inside.

Zhao Rui knocked on the door and stepped inside.

Inside, two roommates were making their beds, one of whom was accompanied by a parent.

"You must be the new roommate, we just arrived too!"

The boy who was making his bed alone greeted Zhao Rui with a smile when he came in. He was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and quite muscular.

"Thank goodness, I wasn't the last one to arrive!"

Zhao Rui smiled and stuffed the suitcase into the closet.

He hadn't bought bedding yet; he had planned to wait until he had a dormitory confirmed before making any purchases.

Another new roommate has arrived!

Just as Zhao Rui finished speaking, a parent who was making up a bed for their roommate greeted Zhao Rui with a smile.

Not only did they greet me, but they also offered me a cigarette.

Zhao Rui wasn't much of a smoker in his previous life, and he'd never smoked before in this one, so he smiled and declined.

"You'll be roommates from now on, living together for four years, like brothers. My son Leilei is a bit introverted, so please bear with him. We'll have lunch together, it's on me!"

"Thank you, Uncle, but no need. We've just arrived and need time to adjust to the environment, so we don't want to trouble you!"

Before Zhao Rui could politely decline, the burly boy who arrived first refused.

Before the parent could say a few more words, the door opened again, and the last roommate walked in, bathed in the bright sunlight streaming in through the shop window.

"Perfect timing, everyone's here. Why don't you all get together for lunch? It's on me."

"I won't go, I have something to do at noon! Thank you, Uncle!"

The last roommate to come in rejected the parents' suggestion without hesitation.

Zhao Rui glanced at his two roommates who had answered. Since none of them were going, he naturally wouldn't go either.

"Uncle, you're too kind. We'll be roommates from now on, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get together. Please go ahead with your work."

Zhao Rui said with a smile, the meaning of which was very clear: since they were living in the same dormitory, they would naturally support each other, and parents didn't need to be so polite.

The middle-aged man hadn't expected that kids these days would be so indifferent to being treated, so he could only say helplessly, "Alright then, when you have the chance to come to Yecheng to play, Uncle will treat you!"

"Thank you uncle!"

Zhao Rui and the other two quickly expressed their gratitude.

The family tidied up the dormitory for a while and chatted for a long time before reluctantly leaving.

During this time, Zhao Rui also called home to let them know he was safe and sound, and also took a short video of his dormitory and sent it back.

Once the parents left, the tall boy began asking everyone their ages and names.

After everyone announced their ages, Zhao Rui and his father were ranked the same, both being the second oldest.

The title of "Second Brother" is definitely his!
The eldest brother was a tall young man with a mature appearance, and he was also the oldest, already nineteen years old.

As for the remaining two, one was named Le Bin, who was the last to arrive. He was handsome with delicate features, red lips and white teeth. If he had been in the previous life of the Thai Dynasty, he would definitely have been a beauty.

The other one is named Chu Yunlei! He's the fourth oldest and the only one who brought his parents to the dormitory.

Chu Yunlei was rather thin and looked somewhat frail. He didn't like to talk much and would only answer a few questions at a time.

After the four of them finished arranging their dormitory ages, they chatted about their grades and what they had seen and heard along the way. Since Zhao Rui and Le Bin hadn't brought any bedding, they chatted for a while before leaving the dormitory together to buy bedding and toiletries.

The students from their dormitory were all quite complete, arriving at school a day early.

Tomorrow is the first day of school; today doesn't count.

After returning to his dormitory, Zhao Rui made up his bedding, tidied up his new home, and then went out alone.

He is a martial arts student, so he definitely won't be able to stay in the dormitory permanently in the future.

I'll have to rent a place sooner or later!
Zhao Rui planned to first check out the surrounding neighborhoods and see if there were any martial arts schools nearby where he could do part-time work.
