Chapter 528: The Pitiful Freshman

After ten o'clock in the morning, there were slightly more new students and parents arriving at the school.

The sophomore boys and girls also began to gradually adapt to the work of receiving new students, performing their respective duties under the organization of the Student Union and the Class Monitors of each class, methodically guiding the new students to complete the series of registration procedures.

The main responsibility for welcoming new students fell to the sophomores, though many juniors and seniors were not idle either.

These few days of new student registration were a great opportunity to earn living expenses and achieve financial independence.

Consequently, under the shade of trees at some of the campus intersections with high foot traffic, some seniors who were setting up stalls to make money also appeared.

From toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, and body wash, to pots, pans, mosquito nets, and straw mats, and even second-hand old appliances, computer towers, and monitors.

As long as it was something the new students might need, one could almost always find a stall for it.

There were also many seniors collaborating with outside merchants, helping to promote mobile phone SIM cards and dormitory broadband services, among other things.

The scorching sun of July had already risen, but the hot weather did not have much of an impact on the youthful and vibrant campus; laughter and chatter could be heard everywhere, and it was extremely lively.

It was not yet the busiest time, and as the Class Monitor of Class One, Qin Tian was openly slacking off and hiding from the heat, basically sitting under a sunshade playing on his phone.

Xia Nuannuan was not as thick-skinned as he was; she was running back and forth between the school gate and the department reception point, with the air of someone determined to do his share of the work as well.

Qin Tian tried to persuade her twice to no avail, so he could only let her be.

"Class Monitor, aren't you afraid that some freshman might set his sights on your Nuan Nuan!"

Under the sunshade, a girl from the class looked at Qin Tian, who was playing a mobile game behind her, and said with a smile.

Qin Tian didn't even lift his head; while playing Candy Crush, he said, "What's there to be afraid of? Nuan Nuan has already brought several groups of people over; have you ever seen a boy?"

The girl was stunned upon hearing this.

The other girls around were also surprised, thinking that the ones Xia Nuannuan had brought over just now really seemed to be only freshman girls.

Lu Lei, who was sitting next to the girl, smiled and said, "Don't you all worry blindly. Nuan Nuan wouldn't do anything that would easily make him jealous or misunderstand. Besides, our classmates won't let those freshmen have any opportunity."

Upon hearing this, several of the girls suddenly understood.

These two Class Monitors, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, were the absolute central figures of their Economics Class One, and this model couple was also the face of their class.

If they were at that school gate, they certainly wouldn't let those freshmen who had just entered the campus get close to Xia Nuannuan.

In the eyes of everyone in Economics Class One, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan were a match made in heaven; although they often felt sour from eating the couple's "dog food," they were already used to it and willing to accept it.

Now, if they didn't see the two showing affection and spreading sweetness for a long time, they would even feel like something was missing.

"Speak of the devil and the devil appears; look over there, Xia Nuannuan is here."

"Eh, who is that beauty next to her?"

"I don't know, what a pretty freshman, but why does she look a bit familiar!"

"I know, I know, isn't that the girl who drove a sports car to the boys' dormitory building to find the Class Monitor before!"

"What?"

A group of girls were shocked upon hearing this, staring dumbfounded at the two people walking over slowly, and then looked at Qin Tian behind them.

Qin Tian frowned slightly and also looked up, only to see Xia Nuannuan bringing Lu Yaoyao over.

Because she lived nearby, Lu Yaoyao didn't bring much luggage, just carrying a designer bag in her hand.

Seeing him look over, Xia Nuannuan gave him a sweet smile.

Lu Yaoyao, who was beside her, lowered her eyes timidly because of what happened yesterday, not daring to look at Qin Tian.

Since it was someone Xia Nuannuan brought herself, Qin Tian didn't pay too much attention, and his focus soon shifted to a spot not far behind the two.

That was a boy carrying a suitcase with a rather handsome appearance, following behind at a distance.

After noticing his gaze, the boy, for some reason, showed obvious hostility in his expression and eyes.

Qin Tian's first reaction was to guess that he might be a suitor of Lu Yaoyao, but he soon felt something was wrong.

This guy's target seemed to be his own precious wife!

Lu Yaoyao seemed to have applied for the Business Administration major, and Xia Nuannuan pointed to the Business Administration reception point nearby, telling Lu Yaoyao to go fill out the form.

Afterward, Xia Nuannuan came to Qin Tian's side with a smile.

"I brought her over to register."

"Oh!"

Qin Tian rolled his eyes helplessly, gestured with his chin toward the boy standing not far away, and asked, "Who is that?"

"Who?"

Xia Nuannuan looked over, and her delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed, saying with displeasure, "Why is he still following us? So annoying!"

"What's the situation?"

Qin Tian asked in confusion.

Lu Lei and several other girls in the class were also looking at Xia Nuannuan with eyes full of curiosity.

"I don't know, just a freshman who came in through the school gate. He walked right up and wanted me to take him to register. I didn't want to agree, but he kept pestering me; it's so annoying. Just then I saw Lu Yaoyao enter the school gate, so I brought her over, wanting to take the opportunity to shake him off. I didn't even notice he was still following us."

Xia Nuannuan explained concisely.

Qin Tian's expression was calm, and he nodded slightly.

"This is too coincidental, Nuan Nuan. We were just discussing it, asking the Class Monitor why he wasn't worried about some freshman eyeing you, and then you brought such a tail over."

A girl in the class said with a bright smile.

Xia Nuannuan looked at her and smiled helplessly, "Stop teasing me. I'm annoyed to death. I told him very clearly that I have a boyfriend, who knew..."

"No way, Nuan Nuan, your and Qin Tian's charm are both too great! These things are inevitable."

"That's right, this freshman is also pitiful; his romance hasn't even started yet, and it's already over."

"Hahaha... you hit the nail on the head."

"But then again, this freshman seems quite confident in himself; he doesn't look like he's given up even after seeing our Class Monitor."

"It's true, looking at that expression, it seems like he wants to have a go at the Class Monitor!"

"That's because he just arrived and hasn't heard about the things involving our two Class Monitors. If he had heard, he would have backed down immediately, believe me."

"..."

Several girls were laughing and discussing it with great interest, chattering away quite lively.

"Class Monitor, what are you planning to do?"

Lu Lei turned her head to look at Qin Tian and asked with some curiosity.

Even for her, she could not escape the natural female instinct for enjoying such spectacles.

Qin Tian withdrew his gaze from that boy and beckoned to Xia Nuannuan.

Xia Nuannuan was stunned, thinking he wanted to whisper something to her, so she bent over and leaned her face toward him.

Little did she know, Qin Tian simply placed his phone on his lap, cupped her face with both hands, and kissed those alluring lips.

Xia Nuannuan's eyes widened, and then a flush of red rapidly climbed up from her jade-like neck.

The surroundings instantly went quiet, and the girls were all dumbstruck.

Not far away, that boy's expression sank instantly, and in the eyes glaring this way, it was as if flames were burning.
