January 20th, Sunday!
Today is the day for registration at Binhai University. Early in the morning, Lin Jie was woken up by the excited Lin Miao.
After breakfast, Lin Jie was dragged to Lin Miao's room, where she mysteriously took out a set of clothes, saying it was a special gift for the start of school.
Not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm, Lin Jie immediately put them on.
It was an outfit that had been altered by a master, resembling a high-collared Zhongshan suit.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Jie noticed how the outfit accentuated his tall and slender frame, giving him a scholarly elegance. Satisfied, he nodded, "Not bad, not bad! Just from this outfit, people can tell that I'm an intellectual!"
Lin Miao smiled proudly, "I put a lot of effort into choosing this outfit. Even Kexin said that you'd look really sharp in it."
"Hey, wait a moment!"
She took out her phone and snapped several photos of Lin Jie from the front, back, and side, then posted them to her social network with a grin, "Let them be envious; I have such a dashingly handsome brother."
Lin Jie chuckled, took out his phone, and said, "I'll take a few pictures of you too, so they can be envious that I have such a beautiful sister."
Lin Miao's eyes squinted into crescent shapes from joy.
After some playful antics, Lin Jie checked the time and said, "Let's go, I'll drop you off at your company first, then head to the university to register!"
"No need, no need!"
Lin Miao hurriedly refused, "Taking the subway to work is faster than you driving me. You should head to the school early for registration."
Frowning slightly with concern, Lin Jie said, "I'm worried that the Wei Family won't give up and might stage an 'accidental encounter' at the subway or Henglong Plaza to bother you!"
"Hmph, back then, I begged them in tears, even knelt pleading for a little help, and they refused. Now that our situation has improved, they want to come closer. That's never going to happen."
As Lin Miao said this, her usual gentle smile was replaced by an unusual sternness.
After Wei Xin's warning that night, Lin Jie informed Lin Miao the next day.
Lin Miao immediately revealed some past events to him.
It turned out that during a very difficult time, Lin Miao had pleaded with the Wei Family for help, but they heartlessly refused her.
Knowing this, Lin Jie felt even more disgusted with the Wei Familys.
However, in the following days, while taking Lele for a walk in the park, he unexpectedly ran into the Wei family twice, and Lin Miao mentioned encountering them two or three times on her way to work and during lunch breaks.
The Lin siblings naturally understood the situation!
At their feigned surprise encounters and attempts to chat, the Lin siblings ignored them completely, as if they had mistaken them for strangers.
Lin Jie advised, "Be careful on the way! Bring the pepper spray and stun gun I got for you. If they try anything excessive, don't hold back."
With a sly smile, Lin Miao said, "Don't worry, brother, I always carry them. I'm just waiting for them to do something so I have a reason to act."
Lin Jie arrived at Binhai University by car at nine thirty.
There were very few new students for the spring registration, mostly international students, probably with Lin Jie being the only domestic one.
Registration required no queue at all. Lin Jie completed the necessary enrollment procedures in less than half an hour.
Finally, a teacher handed Lin Jie a key and a freshers' guide, saying, "This is the key to your dorm room, Room 612 in Graduate Dormitory No. 9. The beddings provided by the school have already been placed in your dorm."
"Check it when you return, and if there's anything missing or damaged, inform the dorm manager promptly."
After thanking the teacher, Lin Jie left the registration area, feeling an unusual sense of elation, as if wanting to shout: I'm a student of Binhai University.
"Lin Jie! Lin Jie!"
Hearing a familiar call, Lin Jie turned around to see Chen Lili jogging over.
As she approached, slightly out of breath, she sized up Lin Jie and exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Wow, you're getting more handsome! You totally have what it takes to be one of the school's top ten heartthrobs."
"Poor Li Ting…"
Stopping herself mid-sentence, she quickly changed the topic, "Um, Lin Jie, as a senior, I welcome you to Binhai University. Have you completed the procedures?"
Lin Jie nodded slightly with a smile, "Thank you! Everything is in order!"
Chen Lili grinned, "Oh! Let me help you tidy up your dorm room, then I'll show you around the campus. I'll treat you to lunch to celebrate your joining us."
"Sure! But I'll treat you to lunch. I do need to make a phone call first!"
With that, Lin Jie took out his phone and dialed Chen Shi's number, "Professor Chen, just to let you know, I've completed my enrollment and am officially your student now."
On the other end, Chen Shi cheerfully acknowledged, "I'm a bit busy during the day, so feel free to explore on your own. I'll arrange a dinner for all the students in the evening to formally introduce everyone."
"Oh, there's one more small thing to tell you."
"Lai Haoming's disciplinary decision has come through: his scholarship has been revoked, and he received a severe warning. Since he's graduating this year, the department decided to let it slide."
After hanging up, Lin Jie and Chen Lili chatted and laughed as they made their way to Graduate Dormitory No. 9.
After climbing six flights of stairs and opening Room 612, Lin Jie was surprised to find it was a single dorm room, complete with a bathroom, water heater, and air conditioning.
This filled Chen Lili with envy as she repeatedly muttered about the unfairness of it.
Lin Jie laughed, "I'll likely be staying here rarely since Miaomiao would be scared to sleep alone at night. If you're not worried about Lu Kaicheng misunderstanding, you can come and stay occasionally."
"Really?"
Chen Lili looked surprised and couldn't help but voice her grievances, "Lin Jie, you have no idea, they've added two roommates in our dorm. Their living habits... well, I won't go into that."
"The main issue is, both of them snore loudly."
"See how my eyes are red? Last night, I tossed and turned and got maybe one hour of sleep, and I even had a nightmare from being startled by Niu Yilan!"
"Although Niu Yilan isn't exactly pretty, getting scared into a nightmare? That's a bit of an exaggeration," Lin Jie chuckled!
Chen Lili sighed, "Niu Yilan had eye and nose surgery over the winter break, and now both are still swollen; her look is truly hard to describe."
"Anyway, the first time I saw her yesterday, she gave me quite a fright."
Plastic surgery is a high-stakes gamble, and judging by Chen Lili's description, Niu Yilan obviously lost that gamble, prompting a sense of sympathy from Lin Jie!
Finally, Chen Lili pleaded, "Lin Jie, can I really stay here?"
Lin Jie tossed her the key, "Alright, alright, stop with the pity party. You have the key, and the place is yours to stay. It's just going to be empty otherwise."
Chen Lili grabbed the key, immediately smiling broadly, "I'll make a copy of the key. You'll have one, and I'll have one! Let me know in advance when you come to stay, either by call or message."
"Come on, I'll show you around the campus. I can tidy up the room myself."
