Chapter 228: Familiar and Unfamiliar【Side Activities Chapter】(May 300 Monthly Ticket Bonus)

Please make way.

The girl's voice tinkled like spring water, clear and pure, snapping Qin Chuan out of his daze.

Only then did he belatedly realize he was standing at the slope entrance beside the stairs, blocking the other's path.

"Sorry." He quickly stepped aside two steps, watching the other steer the wheelchair slowly toward the slope, Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Do you need help?"

"Thank you, but no need." The girl slightly shook her head, skillfully controlling the wheelchair as it slid down the slope; the breeze that passed lifted her skirt, easily letting her maintain a safe speed.

In the distance, a pretty woman hurried over, a little anxious, she steadied the girl's wheelchair and let out a sigh of relief; after exchanging a few words, the pretty woman pushed the wheelchair away.

Qin Chuan withdrew his gaze, revealing a thoughtful expression.

He recalled that the science top scholar of Yan Capital City seemed to be a girl in a wheelchair.

Was that her just now? She's quite aloof.

Qin Chuan suddenly thought of the girl who had once chatted with him about that science top scholar.

Still, Yue Li is nice—she's not aloof at all.

Yan Da's freshman dorms are quadruple rooms; Qin Chuan quickly got his key and entered the dorm.

Name tags were placed on each of the four beds.

The other three names were Yu Zhao, Du He'an, and Zhou Xiaochen.

Yu Zhao had already arrived—a tall, slim guy who merely nodded at Qin Chuan's entrance, seeming somewhat taciturn.

The other two roommates hadn't arrived yet.

Qin Chuan and Yu Zhao exchanged a brief greeting, then began packing his belongings; moments later he placed the freshly closed suitcase in the corner, ready to head out and continue the registration process.

"First go to the campus supermarket's print shop downstairs right turn to make four copies of ID cards and two copies of household registration." Yu Zhao, who had been silent, suddenly interjected, then his voice gradually faded, "You'll need these for registration; the booklet didn't make it clear."

Qin Chuan glanced at Yu Zhao with some surprise, smiled, and said, "Thanks."

"Creak~"

The dorm door opened, a head poked in from outside, face lit with a smile and excitement, but upon seeing Qin Chuan, the expression suddenly froze.

"Long time no see." Qin Chuan amusedly waved at the other.

Upon seeing the name "Zhou Xiaochen," he wondered if such a possibility existed.

He hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence.

The young man who had entered just ahead of him was none other than his other roommate.

"Huh..." Zhou Xiaochen's mouth twitched as he quickly shut the door, "I need to explain—it wasn't me who wanted my mom to come; it was my mom who insisted."

Having said that, he stared straight at Qin Chuan, as if determined to make Qin Chuan believe this no matter what.

"I believe you." Qin Chuan sighed, shaking his head, "But I have to go register."

"Okay."

Zhou Xiaochen's tense expression relaxed; he proactively opened the door, his smile returning.

However, this smile froze again when he noticed there was still a third person in the dorm—Yu Zhao.

Qin Chuan, walking out of the dorm, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

These two roommates of his are quite interesting.

I wonder how the last roommate is. —

"Yueyue, next time going downhill don't be so fast, watch your safety." Pushing Lin Yue as they walked through Yan Da's campus, Du Yu couldn't help but remind her again.

"I know!" Feeling the concern in Du Yu's words, Lin Yue's voice carried a smile, "Next time I'll pay attention to go slower."

"That's about right." Du Yu nodded in satisfaction, feeling the countless gazes along the way, he gave a helpless smile, "Wearing this mask actually draws more attention than not wearing one."

"Whether I wear it or not, it shouldn't affect how noticeable I am." Lin Yue smiled wryly, "I just don't want people to see my face, after all my appearance is the same in dreams and reality."

"Is that your partner from the Dream World? He got into Yan Da too, huh?" Du Yu realized, his eyes glinting with teasing.

Usually when she treated Lin Yue, the two would chat and touch on this topic.

Du Yu didn't know Lin Yue's and that playmate's identities.

But that didn't stop her from shipping them.

Du Yu considered himself sharp, having long seen through the truth.

"What partner? This is obviously a couple!"

"Huh..." Feeling the teasing in Du Yu's tone, Lin Yue's eyes behind the mask flickered, "Little Yu sis, please don't tell my dad, okay?"

"Don't worry, I wouldn't tell Uncle Lin about this." Du Yu chuckled, then turned serious, "Actually I think it's fine for you to appear before him now."

"Illness and misfortune are the best tests of feeling; too many lovers who swore sea and mountain vows ultimately chose to leave because they couldn't bear it."

"Although I can't yet cure your disease, at most in a few months you'll gradually be able to leave the wheelchair and run and jump like a normal girl."

"Maybe this is a good opportunity to test the other?"

"Little Yu sis." Lin Yue gently shook her head, memories of their past flashing through her mind, "Between us, we don't need such a test."

"I just want to show my best side when we first meet." Her voice carried a gentle laugh, "That way, even if I later tell him what I used to be like, I can say it lightly…"

"Being able to stand up from the wheelchair again—am I not amazing? Quick, praise me!"

"Good, good, good." Du Yu couldn't help but laugh, "No need for him to praise you—I'll praise you first; our Yueyue is the best!"

"We're here." Speaking, she stopped her steps, "Let me take you up."

"No need, there's an elevator." Lin Yue laughed and refused, "It's just a few steps; I can't keep having you escort me all the time!"

She controlled the wheelchair to the front steps, lightly lifted one hand, and the wheelchair with her aboard, accompanied by the blowing wind, landed lightly on the steps.

She waved at Du Yu behind her, Lin Yue entered the elevator, and after the glowing number "3" faded, she controlled the wheelchair away.

The wheelchair finally stopped before the door marked "306"; Lin Yue took out her key, just about to open the door, when sounds from the dorm drifted on the wind into her ears, causing her hand to hang midair.

"I came earlier, I've already seen Lin Yue—she seems to have inconvenient legs, sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a mask." That was the voice of her roommate Qiao Chang, who had arrived even earlier.

"Ah? Then we should take care of her more from now on! We can take turns pushing her to class—we just don't know if there are other inconveniences in her daily life..." A somewhat unfamiliar voice, likely one of the two roommates she hasn't met yet.

"Lin Yue is the Science top scholar of Yan Capital. She had always taken the college entrance exam alone in a wheelchair. I don't think she necessarily wants us to treat her as a disabled person." Another voice sounded, "Moreover, I think Xiao Yu is goofy and needs even more looking after!"

Hearing the sound of laughter and chatter from inside the dormitory, the corner of Lin Yue's mouth beneath her mask rose slightly. She put away her key and lightly knocked on the door.

The dormitory quickly fell silent.

After the thump thump thump of running footsteps, a girl with a lovely face and a hint of spryness opened the door, looking at Lin Yue outside, and exclaimed, "Yah! You're back!"

"Hello, I'm Zheng Xiaoyu."

Looking at that face she had just seen last night, the expression beneath Lin Yue's mask instantly turned strange. —
