"Yuanyuan, today's the last day to check in. Why isn't Sis Jiao here yet?"
"Maybe she's already checked in. We don't know."
"Didn't you just check the Foreign Language department? I went to take a look and didn't see Sis Jiao's name. Are you sure you're not wrong?"
The other girl in the dorm room admiring herself in the mirror couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Lulu, you really are bewitched. You never used to chase stars before."
Liu Lu clasped her face with her hands. "I really am bewitched by my Sis Jiao's charms, sigh... There's been no news of her for a week, it's terrible!"
Her roommate rolled her eyes, feeling she was incurable, and turned to look at Zheng Yuan. "It's only been one summer. How come you've also begun to chase stars like Lulu?" Everybody knew that Zheng Yuan was a STEM shut-in, and an intelligent top student STEM shut-in at that.
"I'm not chasing stars." Under her roommate's relieved gaze, Zheng Yuan calmly stated, "I just like Sis Jiao."
They're all incurable!!! The roommate pulled her hair in frustration before continuing to look at herself in the mirror.
"I have to go to the Foreign Language department to look." Liu Lu excitedly ran out.
"She really has gone mad. On such a hot day, instead of just staying inside, she's going out!" The roommate tsked before shaking her head and sighing.
Zheng Yuan took out her laptop and started to type when the phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID before picking it up, her gaze still focused on the computer screen. "Hi Senior, what's up?"
"I remembered that you didn't have class tonight, so let's go watch a movie!" a man's gentle voice said from the phone.
"Can't! I already have plans tonight." Zheng Yuan supported the phone on her shoulder and used both hands to tap the keyboard, searching for the newest news on Sheng Jiaoyang.
The caller heard her typing. "Do you need any help?"
Zheng Yuan paused for a moment, her eyes lighting up. "Senior, I actually do need your help."
On the other side, Liu Lu was fiercely running to the Foreign Languages department. She went to check the list of names in the register, and when she found that Sis Jiao's name still wasn't on there, she went to find a shady spot near the registration office to wait. After sitting for a while and helping out the new students find their way, she got a call from Zheng Yuan.
"Lulu, I just searched up Sis Jiao's flight. It only arrived an hour ago, so Sis Jiao should arrive soon."
Zheng Yuan's voice was like a summertime breeze, rousing Liu Lu's spirit. She was filled with energy and no longer felt that it was too hot as she eagerly stared at the students registering.
Hehehehe, she was actually about to see Sis Jiao in person. How exciting!!
Liu Lu stared longingly, standing for so long that she almost turned into a rock, but she still couldn't see her. Liu Lu grew a bit uneasy, wondering if she'd missed her amongst the crowd when she was blinking. That shouldn't be, but then, why hadn't Sis Jiao arrived yet? Don't tell me she really did miss her? Liu Lu paced back and forth, her face filled with anxiety.
When you're waiting for somebody, it would always feel like an eternity.
Liu Lu was just thinking about going back to check the registration list when Zheng Yuan called her again, saying that a few people at the school gates had seen Sis Jiao and posted pictures of her. Zheng Yuan's news seemed to inject Liu Lu with another shot of stimulant, filling her with excitement. Before Zheng Yuan had even hung up, Liu Lu could see a figure slowly walking towards her.
