Chapter 348 282: You're from Jiao University Too?

He didn't really care about his major. In his past life, he'd randomly chosen software engineering, and his family hadn't offered much of an opinion either…

But as it turned out, he hadn't used a single thing he learned…

'Then again, I can't say it was completely useless. Didn't I develop a bunch of software with the little lass?'

The reason for choosing software engineering again in this life was just as simple: following his previous life's path would be easier and more comfortable. The key was that the homework and exams for this major were easy to bullshit his way through.

'When the time comes, the little lass can just do it for me.'

'Then again,' he thought, 'if it were Gu Muxue, she would never help me with my homework. She'd probably even nag me to study…'

'Yep, the little lass has no principles when it comes to me.'

While he was lost in thought, the car smoothly entered the Changjiang University campus.

Universities generally didn't restrict vehicles from entering at the start of the school year. Even on a normal day, it wasn't that difficult; universities were still quite open back then.

As soon as it passed through the gate, the luxury car attracted the attention of many students nearby. Even the security guards couldn't help but steal a few extra glances.

"Whoa, which young master or miss is this?" a male student with a red armband said in amazement, unable to resist glancing at the car's back seat.

When it passed over a speed bump, the car's body rolled over it steadily, without the slightest jolt.

"Nice suspension," a security guard praised.

Yang Xing was already a very steady driver, and with his upgraded ride, going over speed bumps was like driving on perfectly flat ground.

'This car is perfect for driving on campus,' Xue Rui thought. 'If you had to name one thing universities have the most of, speed bumps would definitely be on the list!'

Gu Muxue said hurriedly, "Uncle Yang, just drop me off here. I can walk the rest of the way."

'I still want to make friends, after all,' she thought. 'I really don't want to be labeled a 'rich girl' right off the bat and create a psychological distance between me and my classmates.'

She looked at Xue Rui's bare wrist. 'Why isn't he wearing the watch I gave him?'

'Is it because it's too expensive? Is he worried his classmates will get the wrong impression?'

After a moment's thought, she took off her own watch as well.

Yang Xing had a helpless expression. He had already scouted out the location in advance and knew exactly where the School of Finance registration was. And now Gu Muxue wanted to walk?

But he couldn't control what Gu Muxue wanted to do. He got out of the car and opened the door for her.

"Muxue, you two head to the registration area first. I'll park the car and bring the luggage over in a moment," Yang Xing said.

After getting out of the car, Xue Rui wandered aimlessly around campus with Gu Muxue. Since they weren't carrying any luggage and he had such a relaxed demeanor, most people didn't take them for new students. Very few people came up to greet them.

He had been to other Jiao University campuses, but this was his first time at the Yanta Campus.

Xue Rui had noticed it as soon as he entered: the facilities here were old. Some of the building signs had a 1990s feel to them. Looking up from below, you could even see tiles peeling off the exterior walls of some buildings. It was hard to imagine what the inside was like…

A freshman followed his gaze, noticed the dormitory with the peeling tiles, and couldn't help but complain, "This is even worse than my high school dorm…"

Gu Muxue's expression wasn't great either. This was a far cry from the university she had imagined…

A parent said, "We're here to study, not to live in luxury."

Xue Rui decided to comfort the girl. He smiled and said with an air of praise, "Jiao University is really something else. It has such a profound sense of history."

"See? Listen to how well this student put it," the female student's parent said, giving a thumbs-up.

"Huh? You can even praise this shit?" someone grumbled.

When Xue Rui turned his head, he saw him again: his roommate, Qian Huabiao.

'What a coincidence,' he thought. He wanted to confirm which school the kid had gotten into. He walked up and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the registration for the School of Finance is?"

Qian Huabiao looked taken aback for a moment, then pointed to a crowd of people up ahead. "Take a left, and you're there."

"Hey, are you a Jiao University student? I'm just here with a friend. I think anyone who can get into Jiao University must be the cream of the crop," Xue Rui said with a serious expression.

The corner of Qian Huabiao's eye twitched. He was also just here with a friend, but he really enjoyed being looked at with such admiration. He subconsciously rubbed his nose and said:

"Yeah, I go to Jiao University."
