PAMPERED CONSORT OF THE FRAGRANCE ORCHARD.BOOK 1

Chapter 21. A man with a Very Alluring Smile.

Since the decision was already made, then it should immediately be put into action. The morning of the next day, Du Xiao Li dragged Du Xiu Heng to the county seat.

Because their place was quite remote, and there were rather few literate people, the village didn’t have a school. If Du Xiu Heng wanted to study, then he needed to attend the school in the county seat. Taking into consideration that some of the students came from rather remote places, the school prepared living quarters and dining hall. Those that lived far away can chose to live at the school, and every five days they can return home for two days, more or less similar to modern day boarding schools.

That’s why if Du Xiu Heng wanted to attend school, he needed to live at school, and could only come home once every half a month. This was also the reason why he was hesitant.

Du Xiao Li directly dragged Du Xiu Heng with her to the school hall. Because Du Xiu Heng had quit midway, at the start of the year, he’d already enrolled. That’s why they only needed to hand over some money, and he can thus continue attending cla.s.s.

After they finished discussing with the scholar of the school, the person in charge of managing students’ living arrangements prepared a room for Du Xiu Heng. One room, two beds. Placed on top one of the beds was a neatly folded quilt, and also two sets of wash-worn clothes folded and placed at the bedhead. Looks like the person living together with Du Xiu Heng is also from a not that well off family. However, should be someone that rather likes cleanliness.

They had the quilt they brought placed onto the bed, then found a cloth, wetted it, and had the bed wiped cleaned. After wiping clean the dust, they spread the bedsheets and quilt. When Du Xiao Li was doing these things, she suddenly felt like one of those mothers who’d came to the dorms to send off their children to school when she’d just started attending college.

“Pfft–” When she thought of this, Du Xiao Li couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Du Xiu Heng, who was currently tidying up the desk, heard Du Xiao Li’s sudden laugh, and asked with a smile, “Younger sister what are you laughing about?”

“Nothing.” Du Xiao Li shook her head. She couldn’t say that she felt like an old mother, right!? “When you’re done tidying, let’s go see if you’re still missing anything. We can go buy them later.”

“Alright.” Du Xiu Heng’s mood today was very happy. He thought that he wouldn’t be able to enter the school halls ever again in this lifetime. He never thought that there would actually be a day where he would come back.

After taking care of everything, Du Xiao Li and her brother went out to buy some things. Du Xiao Li bought some life necessities for Du Xiu Heng, and also bought two sets of spare clothes. When it was almost noon, the two of them returned carrying small and large bags of things. As soon as they entered the door, they saw sitting on the other bed a delicately handsome boy. He was in the middle of eating with his head lowered. When he heard someone entering, he raised his head, took a glance, and stood up, saying with a smile, “You must be cla.s.s two’s Du Xiu Heng? I’m cla.s.s three’s Zhang Rui. In the future, we’ll be roommates, please to meet you.”

“How did you know it was me?” Du Xiu Heng somewhat surprisingly looked to Zhang Rui.

“Earlier when I went to the dining hall to buy food, heard someone say that the number one student in the academy returned. Thus, everyone knew it was you. When I came back, I saw that the other bed was sorted out, and guessed it was you.”

“So big brother was actually this famous at school?!” Du Xiao Li said with her mouth covered while laughing. This really was somewhat unexpected.
