Chapter 15: Luo Qiqi

As the two women chatted, Shen Yan secretly sized up the big-eyed, cute girl before him; it wasn't that she wasn't good-looking—though she certainly was—but she was just a notch below Yu Youwei.

On a scale of ten, a score of 8.5 for the big-eyed girl was more than enough, 9 for Yu Youwei, and the Northeast Huniu was a 9.5 or higher.

The big-eyed girl was 1.6 meters tall, wearing a white T-shirt on her upper body paired with black casual trousers, and a pair of canvas shoes on her feet; her attire was very simple.

Her face shape was a typical short face, with a small length-to-width ratio, short and round, looking even more youthful than an oval face; she was both baby-faced and exquisite, with prominent brow bones connecting to a delicate, high-bridged nose, and beneath crescent-like eyebrows were almond-shaped eyes, especially those unique crystal lips, which, though slightly pale, possessed a beauty that made one feel pity for her.

If there was one flaw, it was that dog-chewed, ear-length short hair, making her look exactly like a tomboy.

The reason Shen Yan was sizing up the big-eyed girl was that he knew her; she was Yu Youwei's classmate named Luo Qiqi, who had visited the Yu Family several times in his previous life.

It was just that in his previous life, Shen Yan had failed in his confession and drifted apart from Yu Youwei, so he hadn't had much interaction with Luo Qiqi, though he could be certain that the two women were very close, as intimate as sisters.

Once, Shen Yan had seen the two women giggling and playing, and Luo Qiqi had even pinched Yu Youwei's chest, which made others green with envy.

Suddenly, a thought surged in Shen Yan's heart: could it be that the reason Yu Youwei hadn't married even after turning thirty was that she was a lesbian?

Hiss!

Shen Yan felt he had discovered the truth and couldn't help but gasp.

Two girls huddling together for warmth; it seemed the world was destined to have two more single souls.

How pathetic! How pathetic!

But this Luo Qiqi was quite capable; fresh on the scene and already finding a way to make money so quickly—she was a talent with top-notch business skills.

Not long after the two women chatted and understood the campus card rates, Yu Youwei had already made up her mind to get a Dongdongdai Card; Luo Qiqi showed a joyful expression and then cast her gaze toward the silent Shen Yan.

Shen Yan also had no objections, stating that he would go handle the enrollment procedures first and come back later to get the card.

How could he let the duck that was already in his mouth fly away?

Luo Qiqi immediately puffed out her small chest and said, "Which major are you in? I know this school like the back of my hand; I can get it sorted for you in a minute."

Yu Youwei replied that they were in the Law major.

"What a coincidence! I'm in the Law major too; we might even be in the same class." Luo Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then said with pleasant surprise.

"Ah? You're also a freshman?"

Yu Youwei was a bit surprised; she had taken it for granted that the other girl was a sophomore or junior because of her seasoned demeanor.

She really hadn't expected it!

"You're so amazing! Getting familiar with the whole school so quickly."

Luo Qiqi raised her eyebrows with no small amount of pride, then pulled Yu Youwei toward the registration location.

As the two women walked and talked, Luo Qiqi said she was in Law Class 1, had arrived at school in the morning, and was from Fuding City, Min Province, adjacent to Cangnan County, with the two places being less than forty kilometers apart.

Plus, both women spoke Minnan dialect, which made them feel a sense of closeness, and they soon hit it off.

It must be said that friendship between girls always comes in such an inexplicable way.

"Wow! You two are neighbors, high school classmates, and now in the same major in college; that's too much of a coincidence."

"Tell me, are you two a couple?" Luo Qiqi leaned close to Yu Youwei and began digging for gossip.

Yu Youwei's expression was a bit unnatural; she turned her head to look at Shen Yan, who was a few paces behind, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense; we're just very close, and I don't have any thoughts of dating during my college years."

"Strongly support that; what's the point of dating anyway." Luo Qiqi's eyes lit up, and she naturally raised her hand to rest it on Yu Youwei's left shoulder.

This action made Shen Yan's eye twitch, and he became even more convinced of his previous guess.

The teaching building behind the library was where the Law School was located; this modern teaching building had a simple and grand exterior, was five stories high, and was surrounded by lush trees, making one feel that beauty and nature were both embracing this building.

Walking into the teaching building, what met the eye was a spacious corridor, brightly lit, with rows of small desks set up on the left side of the corridor, each with a small sign indicating the major and class.

It was clearly the freshman registration point.

On-site, there were a dozen or so freshmen scattered in front of a few desks, orderly handling their enrollment procedures under the guidance of counselors.

At the entrance bulletin board of the teaching building, Luo Qiqi's eyes scanned the class list quickly, and her face immediately lit up with joy.

"Great, Youwei, we really are in the same class!"

"And Shen Yan, he's also in Law Class 1."

How lucky to have two classmates in the class that she could talk to.

After confirming this fact, Yu Youwei felt joy from the bottom of her heart.

The subsequent process was simple.

The counselor for Law Class 1 was named Huang Shuren, thirty years old this year, wearing black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking scholarly, and his way of speaking made one feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze; he seemed quite easy to get along with.

He started off with a compliment: "Ho! It seems our class is a place of good fortune, with handsome men and beautiful women appearing in clusters."

Luo Qiqi was very socially adept and responded with a smile: "With such a handsome counselor, we students can't lose face either, right?"

"Hahaha! Luo, your way with words..."

Yu Youwei was quite envious of Luo Qiqi's social skills.

Shen Yan just rubbed his nose; sure enough, he still wasn't used to this kind of shameless way of interacting.

He resisted this kind of behavior from the bottom of his heart.

As for worldly wisdom and social graces, as long as one was strong enough to ensure one's own well-being, what did it matter if one discarded them like worn-out shoes?

After finishing the enrollment procedures, Shen Yan didn't leave immediately but asked, "Teacher Huang, I'd like to consult you on the process for transferring majors."

Ever since he was bitten on a critical part last time, Shen Yan had clearly sensed that his body was undergoing subtle changes; his mind had become clearer, and his physical fitness, memory, and logical thinking were all improving rapidly.

For example, with a piece of classical Chinese, Shen Yan might have previously needed to chew over the words and read it a dozen or twenty times to memorize it, but now he could almost achieve photographic memory.

He dared to say that if he took the college entrance exam again, even Qingbei would be fighting over him.

From the beginning to the end, Shen Yan had never intended to work in the legal profession; working for others was impossible, and he had chosen the Law major back then because he hadn't considered his future development direction clearly, plus Yu Youwei had cajoled him from the side, so he had filled out his application in a daze.

In his previous life, Shen Yan had studied Finance, and even though he had graduated for nearly ten years, as long as he wanted, the relevant professional knowledge would immediately emerge in his mind like unraveling silk from a cocoon.

Since that was the case, why not choose a major that was easier to study?
