Chapter 403: Chapter 396: The Lazy One is the Foolish One
On the way home, she even bought each of them an expensive ice cream.
Li Jia discovered that the money inside her wallet was all hundred-dollar bills. She didn’t seem to wince when handing over money, so it finally dawned on Li Jia. Tang Yuxin seemed unassuming. but she must come from a very wealthy family.
And indeed, she guessed it right.
Tang Yuxin’s family was indeed affluent. Her monthly allowance was at least ten thousand. Over the course of a semester, several tens of thousands added up. Her meals at school were free, and her living expenses were consistently transferred into her bank account by Tang Zhinian each month. She receives money from Ren Li, and there’s a separate transfer from Tang Zhijun. Even Yuxin was not sure how much money was in her account but it was certainly more than less, so she never stressed about running out.
All of them ate until their bellies were round with satisfaction. They returned to the dormitory, touching their belly, not feeling like moving. Wei Jiani could only sneer in her heart.
Was simple vegetables and tofu really that delicious? She thought they must’ve gone mad from such a simple meal.
Tang Yuxin put her pillow down, preparing to get a good night’s sleep like the others. Her experience here wasn’t too bad. At least, her roommates weren’t nosy and were easy to get along with. She wasn’t worried about her medical courses since she studied those at Qing University. However, her biggest concern was her physical fitness. Every day she had to wake up at six to attend morning drills, to maintain a military posture. All the other students had short hair, only Yuxin’s was a bit longer. As an exchange student she wasn’t subject to the Fifth Medical University’s haircut rule, but her long hair sometimes became an inconvenience. Tang Yuxin actually envied the others’ short haircuts, but she had never had very short hair before.
She didn’t dare to cut her hair, if she dared to, she could guarantee that her father would cry to death the moment he saw her.
In Tang Zhinian’s heart, his daughter was always a pretty girl who was well-behaved since childhood. Although he didn’t have a lot of talent, he had a talented daughter. If she came home looking like his son, he would cry himself to death.
Of course, while she envied others, others also envied her. The school was filled with tomboys, so the sudden appearance of a long-haired beauty was quite a shock to everyone. Unfortunately, their military-style school required all students to keep their hair short.
In the morning, as soon as the wake-up alarm rang, Tang Yuxin got up in a daze, closed her eyes to pick an outfit, and then went to wash up. Before dawn, they would line up outside to attend morning exercises.
“You don’t have this at Qing University, right?” Li Jia asked the drowsy Yuxin. It seemed she was not used to such a lifestyle.
“Well,” Yuxin rubbed her eyes, started to feel a little more awake. At Qing University, there was no habit of morning drills, class schedules were more leisurely. For instance, their medical department usually started morning classes at around 9:30. So if they wanted to be lazy, they could sleep until 9 o’clock, then leisurely get up. Everyone had this habit. If they woke up early, they might disturb others. So it had become the norm.
Since she was now living off-campus, if her first class was at ten, she would also sleep until she naturally woke up and wouldn’t get out of bed until nine. Then, she would walk to school.
Therefore, suddenly having to get up at six in the morning was something she initially found hard to adjust to.
Li Jia patted her shoulder sympathetically, “You’ll get used to it.” Indeed, you’ll get used to it. They all did. This was their third year like this. There was no choice but to adapt.
“Laziness and stupidity,” Wei Jiani muttered under her breath. Even though she was speaking to herself, everyone could hear who she meant. Who else could she scold other than Tang Yuxin?
Yuxin didn’t argue with her. She didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of so many people.
When Li Jia and the others heard Wei Jiani’s muttering, they felt uncomfortable. Who was she cursing? Was it Yuxin or all of them? Who owed her anything? They had to put up with her princess-like temper every day.
After morning drills, they proceeded to their specialized courses. Yuxin was quite proficient in her specialized course, but Wei Jiani struggled. They had rescue drills in the morning, which were effectively a first aid test.
When it was Jiani’s turn, she timed out a few times and was marked with a big X by the instructor, who said that further rescue efforts were unnecessary as the person was already dead. Yes, with her methods of resuscitation, the patient would’ve already ascended to heaven if they hadn’t died from their illness.
When it was Yuxin’s turn, everyone had the chance to see the level of a top student from Qing University’s medical department. Her techniques were clear and simplistic, the demonstration could be used as a model without any prior studying.
Even the principal of the Fifth Medical University was in admiration. He wondered how Qing University could have such excellent students. If she were his student, he would definitely introduce her to the military hospital as an outstanding student.
It’s a pity though, she was only an exchange student and would have to leave at the end of the semester.
The Medical University was different than other schools, it was almost like a boarding school all year round. Even on Saturdays and Sundays, they had to register in order to leave the campus. So sometimes parents had to come visit their kids on campus.
One day, Yuxin couldn’t quite figure out why everyone seemed so excited, as if something good had happened. It seemed to start from the day before.
“Yuxin, my parents are coming to visit me,” Li Jia straightened her hair excitedly. “What should I do? I’ve gained weight recently, will they recognize me?”
“Don’t worry,” a roommate took the comb from her hand, “Even if you gain so much weight that your eyes are no longer visible, your father can still recognize you. He will even say you’ve lost weight.”
“At your current weight, your mom won’t say you’re thin anymore. She will definitely be very pleased with your current figure.”
“Liu Xiaoliang, I’m going to kill you!” Li Jia picked up a pillow and threw it at her, and the two wrestled together. Despite their antics, it was clear that they were in a great mood.
They hadn’t seen their families for half a year, and they were finally going to.
