They were very difficult to boss around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early in the morning, Cao Sheng and the others were assigned their tasks, mainly to set up tables and hang banners on the main campus road, as well as prepare mineral water, fans, and the like, waiting for the minibuses to deliver this year's freshmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time a group of new students arrived, as long as they were in their department, they needed to send someone to lead them through the registration process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the campus was so large that freshmen arriving at Huizhou Teachers College for the first time would find it difficult to locate the various stations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Sheng did not miss today's welcoming duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, when he first arrived at this school in the first semester of his freshman year, he had enjoyed the services of the seniors; now that he was a senior himself, it was only right and proper that he contribute his share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he was now famous and wealthy, and usually, teachers and classmates would flatter him, calling him a great writer or a big boss; when encountering something like welcoming new students, it was actually hard to ask for leave or act special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easy to get people gossiping behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for deep down in his heart, was there a bit of a desire to see his first love from the original timeline?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should he put it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to say how much he wanted to, that wasn't entirely true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that girl and he had broken up many years ago, nearly 20 years, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 years of time can dilute the most intense emotions in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more, back then, it was she who liked him more to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the one who wanted to be together, and he was the one who proposed the breakup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn't been for the fact that she was crying when she brought up the breakup over the phone, making him feel she still had lingering feelings, he might have forgotten her completely long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, Cao Sheng and several classmates sat behind the desks by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the desks were mineral water and round fans; in front of the desks hung the welcome banner, and above the desks were sun umbrellas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several classmates were chatting idly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said, \"The first batch of freshmen today probably won't arrive until after 10 o'clock, because no matter what vehicle they take to school, it takes some time on the road.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said, \"I wonder if we can see some pretty junior girls today; whether we can get a girlfriend this semester mainly depends on whether we can land one of the freshmen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said, \"With Cao Sheng sitting here, we still want to land a freshman? We won't land a damn thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After these words were spoken, several classmates and those standing behind chatting all looked at Cao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Sheng, who was drinking water, saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh, his expression very innocent, \"Saying it like that, you can't find a girlfriend, so you blame me? I didn't even compete with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xue, a girl standing not far away, chuckled, \"Cao Sheng, how can you even say that? Look at how handsome you are today! Plus, you are now a nationally famous writer; many freshmen might have heard your name before coming to our school, and might have even seen your photo in the newspaper. With you sitting here, what chance do they have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another girl, Xu Jing, laughed, \"I suddenly thought of a saying: 'Once you meet Cao Sheng, you are ruined for life.' The freshmen girls received by Cao Sheng today are in for it; on their first day of school, they see someone as handsome and talented as Cao Sheng. I estimate they won't be able to like any other boy for their entire few years of university. Don't you think so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right! The way you put it, I also feel a bit of sympathy for today's freshmen girls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Sheng, you are committing a sin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Sheng! Why don't you just leave? Accumulate some virtue for yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think Cao Sheng should wear a mask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better to disfigure yourself! Disfigurement is the safest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was joking around, talking over one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Sheng could only smile helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he hadn't dressed up specially today; he just wore a simple pair of black jeans, a black T-shirt, and a pair of black sneakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind with a very simple style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn't help his good foundation, plus the temperament he had after his rebirth, which was clearly more mature than his peers; he was indeed the undisputed most handsome in their class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, for the whole morning, whenever new students arrived, Cao Sheng was always assigned tasks early, and those assigned to him were either boys or freshmen girls with ordinary looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the intention of his classmates assigning him tasks like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nothing more than wanting to send him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he wasn't sitting here, others would have a chance when pretty freshmen girls arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, he just smiled and didn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just unhurriedly took the new students to go through the registration procedures, and every time he finished helping one, he would stroll back slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he had just finished helping another freshman and was once again strolling slowly back to the welcome station, he happened to see a minibus carrying new students stop not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the group of freshmen getting off the bus, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure—his first love from the original timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Chen Shuyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shuyun, with her shoulder-length black hair and straight-cut bangs, was quite pretty, with a height of 1.68 meters. Why was it so precise? Because she had told Cao Sheng before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An oval face with a bit of baby fat, bright eyes, and white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither thin nor fat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a great beauty who could make people particularly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor was she the type to fade into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beauty was not aggressive; one could tell at a glance that she was the quiet type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she got off the bus, she attracted many people's gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Sheng paused slightly and looked at her twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several enthusiastic seniors had already swarmed over. Cao Sheng did not go over; he sat down behind the table at the welcome station with a very calm expression, reached out to take a bottle of mineral water to quench his thirst, and occasionally glanced at the enthusiastic seniors and the green, ignorant freshmen there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a spectator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, several of Cao Sheng's classmates led a few new students over to handle the registration procedures and, by the way, assign who would take which freshman to register.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the most handsome hunk here, Cao Sheng naturally attracted the gazes of these new students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Chen Shuyun, who kept glancing at Cao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she glanced, a look of doubt appeared in Chen Shuyun's eyes. After a slight hesitation, she stepped in front of Cao Sheng, her cheeks a little red, and asked hesitantly, \"S-Senior, are, are you Zhongyuan Yidianhui?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Sheng looked up at her in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original timeline, during this welcome of new students, he had taken the initiative to take her to register, during which they got to know each other, and a few days later, she asked him to meet by the playground and then confessed to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, he hadn't approached her at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect her to recognize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this fate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Sheng didn't answer immediately, so she asked again, \"Is it you? Did you write 'The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant'? Are you that Zhongyuan Yidianhui? I, I have seen your photo in the newspaper; you are dressed about the same as you were in the newspaper, also in all black.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Guan Zhi chuckled, \"Cao Sheng! Your fan has recognized you, aren't you going to admit it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Zhi's words made the other few freshmen surprised, and they all stared at Cao Sheng to size him up, but none of them made a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Cao Sheng's other classmates started jeering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! Old Zhang, you're done for! The beauty you set your eyes on is a fan of Cao Sheng; she definitely won't look at you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Freshman girl! You didn't recognize the wrong person! He is Zhongyuan Yidianhui, that guy who wrote 'The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Sheng! I want to write a novel too! No! You must teach me later! I also want such a pretty freshman fan! Haha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the jeering, Cao Sheng stood up and nodded to Chen Shuyun in front of him, a smile on his face, \"Hello! Welcome to Huizhou Teachers College!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he extended his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shuyun blushed, both shy and happy, and took his hand. At that moment, Cao Sheng noticed her legs press together.\u003C\u002Fp>",1580,"2026-06-21T01:55:54.452Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","28b1a91b91f59ab647cf2c71d8a6e9398767950f609218ecd89db32ddaf6a9c0","dreaming-back-to-1997-i-became-the-forefather-of-chapter-64","dreaming-back-to-1997-i-became-the-forefather-of-chapter-62",338,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdreaming-back-to-1997-i-became-the-forefather-of-cover.jpg"]
