Chapter 519
Wang Xiaohua's image indeed differed greatly from what Zhao Xinyi had imagined.
Before coming to Beijing, she had thought that even if Wang Xiaohua wasn't as tall and handsome as his older brother in appearance, he could at least look like an ordinary person.
Even if he had a plain, common appearance, she could still accept it.
But being both short and ugly was truly hard to accept.
Wang Xiaohua's height of just 1.6 meters alone was probably something many girls couldn't accept.
He was too short.
Taking him out shopping was like taking a son out.
And this was an unchangeable hard condition.
Poor image could be improved by learning how to dress, and an ugly face could still be changed through plastic surgery.
But height could not be changed for a lifetime.
If she wanted to be with Wang Xiaohua, she had to accept the fact that she would have to accept his height for a lifetime.
If she didn't care about height, then it didn't matter.
But if she cared a lot, it wasn't something she could just endure and get past.
So now Zhao Xinyi felt very disappointed in her heart.
She knew Wang Xiaohua was very excellent, and after graduating from university in the future, his achievements would surely far exceed ordinary people, and even someone like Du Xiaojuan, a Big Boss, could only look up to Wang Xiaohua in admiration.
But in terms of outward appearance, she really couldn't accept it.
She couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.
Love, this matter, if said to be sacred is sacred, if said to be worldly is worldly.
Nothing more than beginning with looks, loyal to character.
If she couldn't even look up to him at first sight, there was really no need to force herself to get along with him.
A melon twisted off the vine isn't sweet; if she forced herself to get along with him, she would definitely nitpick, and the other person's unchangeable shortcomings would be like a thorn always pricking her heart, so that in the end they could only hurt each other.
"Sister Juan, this time we've come to Beijing, let's just have a good tour, and let's not talk about other matters."
Zhao Xinyi tactfully said this to Du Xiaojuan.
Du Xiaojuan was a smart person, and naturally understood Zhao Xinyi's meaning right away.
She could only sigh:
"Sigh, then do as you wish, it's just that you've come all this way for nothing."
Zhao Xinyi smiled:
"It's fine, we can still go see the Forbidden City, see the Great Wall, right? This trip wasn't in vain."
Du Xiaojuan reminded her again at this time:
"You must think it over; to put it bluntly, with your social circle, you might only have this one chance in your whole life to meet male graduates from Tsinghua and Peking University; once this village is passed, there's no such shop."
Hearing this, Zhao Xinyi felt conflicted in her heart.
She just thought, if only Wang Xiaohua weren't so short and so ugly.
Du Xiaojuan continued:
"Actually Xiao Hua is just a bit short, not that ugly; he just has uneven teeth, and after getting them corrected in the future, he'll definitely be a handsome young man."
Zhao Xinyi smiled bitterly:
"Sister Juan, let's not talk about these things anymore."
Then she hurriedly asked:
"You didn't tell Wang Xiaohua that I came specially to meet him, right?"
Du Xiaojuan said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I didn't say it."
"Then did you tell his parents?"
"I didn't say it either; this matter hasn't even begun, I definitely won't go around talking nonsense, my emotional intelligence isn't that low."
"That's good, that's good, otherwise it would be awkward..."
Zhao Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon Zhao Xinyi and Du Xiaojuan and the others were brought by Wang Xiaohua to the canteen side.
At this time it was past eight in the evening, already past mealtime, and there weren't many students eating in the cafeteria.
But many windows of the canteen were still open for business.
Wang Xiaohua found a seat and called his parents and Du Xiaojuan and Zhao Xinyi to sit down.
Then he said:
"My three roommates will be here in a moment; wait here for them first, and after they come we'll go get food together."
"Okay, okay." Du Xiaojuan answered with a smile.
Zhao Xinyi was however scheming: she didn't know what Wang Xiaohua's roommates looked like; maybe through Wang Xiaohua this channel, she could meet his roommates; boys who could be Wang Xiaohua's roommates would definitely be as excellent as Wang Xiaohua.
Li Xiulan asked with concern:
"Xiao Hua, are you getting along well with your roommates?"
Wang Xiaohua said with a smile:
"Mom, don't worry, my three roommates are all very good to me."
Li Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good, that's good; I was still afraid they would bully you; there are quite a few students on TV who bully the weak; you're so weak physically, if they bully you, you must tell the school teachers."
Wang Xiaohua laughed:
"Mom, you're thinking too much; this isn't a secondary technical school; only schools like secondary technical schools would have school bullying; this is Tsinghua University, the students' quality is very high."
If anyone would look down on Wang Xiaohua because of his short stature, there might be.
But to say that someone would mock Wang Xiaohua to his face, attack him with various words, or directly lay hands on him—that definitely could not happen.
Anyone stupid enough to do such a thing would have been screened out back in junior high and high school; let alone getting into Tsinghua University, they probably couldn't even get into an ordinary second-tier university.
So Wang Xiaohua's university life, though austere, was still harmonious.
Soon, Wan Zhiyuan came together with Wei Qian and Wen Lingyun.
They came forward one after another to greet Wang Xiaohua's parents.
Wang Xiaohua introduced them:
"This is my father, this is my mother, this is my Eldest Sister-in-law, this is Eldest Sister-in-law's colleague, Zhao Xinyi."
"Hello Uncle and Auntie, hello both older sisters." The three roommates greeted them one after another.
Wang Xiaohua then introduced everyone:
"This is Wei Qian, our class's Vice Class Monitor; this is Wen Lingyun, who got into Tsinghua University through a competition, very impressive; this is Wan Zhiyuan, also admitted through a competition, he's only sixteen years old, very impressive!"
Seeing Wang Xiaohua's three roommates, Zhao Xinyi's eyes lit up immediately.
Is Wei Qian too handsome?
Wen Lingyun also had the appearance of a modest gentleman.
Even Wan Zhiyuan looked decent, just that at sixteen he was a bit too young.
This made Zhao Xinyi even more determined in her previous idea, even more wanting to get to know these three roommates of Wang Xiaohua through Wang Xiaohua as a channel.
She didn't know Wei Qian already had a girlfriend, so her first target was locked onto Wei Qian.
She thought to herself, if Wei Qian looked down on her, then she would consider Wen Lingyun.
But this matter couldn't be accomplished overnight; good things take time, she had to manage it well.
Yes, manage it.
Just like when she helped the company plan a sales plan, she had to manage it well.
Zhao Xinyi was having wild thoughts inside.
At this time, Wang Xiaohua and the three roommates exchanged a few pleasantries.
Then everyone went together to the cafeteria window to get their meal.
After getting their meal they came back to eat together.
Everyone sat together chatting.
Actually there wasn't much to talk about.
Wang Xiaohua's three roommates had no common topics with Zhao Xinyi and Du Xiaojuan, and had a generation gap with these two old people Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, so after exchanging a few polite words, next was everyone chatting among themselves.
Wan Zhiyuan and Wen Lingyun were talking about battery experiment matters, while Wang Xiaohua and Wei Qian occasionally interjected a few sentences.
Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan lowered their heads eating their meal.
Zhao Xinyi and Du Xiaojuan listened to their chat, understanding every word, but when put together couldn't understand a single sentence.
Du Xiaojuan tactfully said nothing, only silently eating her meal.
But Zhao Xinyi wanted to find some presence, so she actively interjected:
"By the way, do you usually like watching TV dramas or movies in your free time in the dorm?"
She wanted to find common topics from leisure and entertainment, then draw closer to them, hopefully adding them as WeChat friends today.
However, what she never expected was that this topic she actively brought up not only failed to draw them closer, but actually left her embarrassed...
