I Might Have Fallen in Love With My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 101 - 97: Preliminary Round 2

Chapter 101: Chapter 97: Preliminary Round 2

Qingran felt she was down on her luck.

She actually ended up in the same dormitory as Wen Shiyi!

Originally, Wen Shiyi’s "female protagonist halo" had a big enough impact on her, and now sharing a roof with her, it was even worse.

She didn’t know if there would be seating arrangements tomorrow, and if she ended up being paired with Wen Shiyi, it could really be the end for her.

The four girls in the dormitory were very quiet; Wen Shiyi and the other two were studying.

Qingran decided to follow Old Wu’s advice to first rejuvenate herself, given she started studying physics almost a month later than everyone else, cramming last minute wouldn’t help much.

Qingran’s bed was on the far right; there was a curtain that could divide the four beds, and since no one was using the bathroom now, she took a towel and pajamas from her bag and went in.

As the sound of water came from the bathroom, the two girls sitting beside Wen Shiyi exchanged glances.

The girl with rimless glasses pushed up her glasses and whispered, "Being second in our grade really is special; we study ourselves to death while she doesn’t even need to revise. I’m so envious."

Sitting opposite her was Yang Xuetin from Class 2. Yang Xuetin had just had her phone smashed by the homeroom teacher in front of the whole class. She didn’t reflect on how the incident was her own fault but instead harbored resentment towards Qingran.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuetin sneered coldly, "Who lets us not have such good luck to be seated beside the top student of the grade."

This remark made Wen Shiyi pause with her pen in midair as she suddenly remembered her first day after transferring to School F.

That day, the homeroom teacher had arranged for her to sit with Xie Ying’an, but Xie Ying’an was unwilling. She couldn’t quite determine her feelings at that time, whether it was embarrassment or loss, and it had been too long for her to clearly remember now.

Now, occasionally recalling that, she somewhat regretted not insisting on it; after all, with Xie Ying’an’s grades, sitting together would have only been beneficial.

Yang Xuetin and the other girl continued to make sarcastic remarks, and Wen Shiyi just listened from the side. They were not familiar with each other, and she did not want to engage in the conversation.

Unexpectedly, the conversation shifted towards Wen Shiyi. Yang Xuetin suddenly asked her, "Hey, I heard you are third in our grade? So diligent in studying even when third in the class, are you trying to surpass the second?"

She immediately covered her mouth with her hand and laughed after saying it.

Wen Shiyi didn’t respond; she felt that anyone with a bit of emotional intelligence probably wouldn’t ask such a question in her presence.

As she continued writing, Wen Shiyi thought: No wonder she can talk behind people’s backs; she clearly isn’t bright.

"They are all top students!"

The girl with glasses chimed in with Yang Xuetin. Just when Yang Xuetin wanted to say more, the bathroom door opened, and Qingran came out wearing her pajama and wiping her hair.

She walked past the three girls without giving them a sidelong glance, went back to her bed, and drew the curtains closed.

Yang Xuetin snorted coldly and wrote four characters in the book, then showed them to the girl wearing glasses.

"Ignoring others completely."

The girl with glasses nodded in agreement, "Let’s solve a few more problems, strive to not get eliminated tomorrow, even if eliminated in the second round, it would still be more bearable for me."

Yang Xuetin shared the same sentiment, and they stopped their mocking tone and began focusing on solving problems.

Conversely, Wen Shiyi, disturbed by them, lost the mood to continue solving problems. She didn’t force herself and simply packed up her books and went into the bathroom.

Now with both top students not studying, Yang Xuetin and the girl with glasses felt even more motivated to study.

Before going to sleep, Qingran took out her phone for a glance but was startled by the messages.

Whether it was the group chat or the WeChat messages from Zheng Chunming and Ruan Ruan, they all showed an astonishing number of unread messages.

Qingran was somewhat at a loss, not knowing which one to open first.

After thinking it over, she decided to first open the three-person group chat at the top. What caught her eye was a bunch of disdainful emojis, and scrolling up showed alternating messages from Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming.

soft girl: I can understand the scenery in the front, but what’s with those few people in the back?

Zheng Chunming: @Qingran, you’d better not tell me that those are the guys who can match Brother An’s good looks (shocked face)

soft girl: @Zheng Chunming, don’t worry, I trust Ranran’s taste. They must have been accidentally captured while taking photos of the scenery.

soft girl: Besides, how could those things even compare to Song Gou, when Ranran is used to seeing Brother An and Brother Mo, who have such stunning beauty?

At this point, Qingran couldn’t bear to read any further.

If she were to tell Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming now that these were the handsome seniors she photographed, who knows if they would go crazy.

Qingran simply started typing on the screen.

QR: I spent this afternoon touring University F and didn’t see any seniors who are as strikingly handsome as you described.

After sending that line, just as she was about to put down her phone and go to sleep, Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming almost instantly replied.

soft girl: What do you mean????

soft girl: Are you really trying to fool us with this kind of stuff????

soft girl: Listen here, Daran, don’t think you can fool us just because we haven’t seen much of the world!

Zheng Chunming: That’s right!

Zheng Chunming: We both have completed nine years of compulsory education, we’re educated people you know.

Qingran found it funny yet helpless, she replied: I really, truly didn’t lie to you, the scenery here is pretty nice, and the senior girls are beautiful.

After a pause, she added: As for the senior guys, I guess they’re somewhat passable.

soft girl: If not the seniors, the teachers are fine too!

soft girl: I’ve heard that there’s a very young Mathematics professor inside University F who is said to be extremely handsome and gentle! (heart eyes emoji)

soft girl: This kind of man is simply tailor-made for me!!!

Zheng Chunming: I’ve heard about him too, I really want to see that teacher @Qingran

Qingran, looking at these lines of text, eventually puzzledly commented: Where did you guys hear about this young professor at University F?

It seems that only people nearby F University know about this, given that Professor Lin is particularly low-key and never agrees to any interviews or media appearances?

At that moment, Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming, living just above Qingran, glared at each other.

Zheng Chunming shrugged helplessly: "I already told you not to bring up that young professor. If we want his photos, now that we’re so close, can’t we just capture some ourselves?"

Ruan Ruan retorted: "When I asked Qingran to help take some photos, you didn’t object, okay? You were hastily nodding your head off!"

Zheng Chunming chuckled, "Everyone has a desire for beauty."

Ruan Ruan also laughed mischievously: "Tomorrow, when we sneak into University F, we must take a lot more pictures of that professor to bask in his scholarly aura!"

Zheng Chunming threw cold water on her: "We’d better think about how we can avoid those familiar classmates tomorrow?"

Ruan Ruan: "..."

That’s a problem, we’ll need to get Song Shize, that bastard, to come up with an idea.
