Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 140 Half a year has passed, Xiaohe goes to college! [Part ]

It can be seen that Xia Xiaohe is really happy.

In the evening, Li Xu treated her to a bowl of beef noodles as a welcome to her to Peking University and Tsinghua University.

The meal was held in the school cafeteria. It was just a simple meal and there was no intention of treating anyone, so Li Xu just gave the money.

Xia Xiaohe said: "You don't have to treat me, I'll treat you."

Li Xu shook his head and said, "It's not a question of whether to treat or not." He took out the campus card from his pocket and said, "The school cafeteria requires campus cards for payment. You don't even have a campus card yet. Even if you really ask you to pay, you won't be able to do it."

Xia Xiaohe looked at the campus card in Li Xu's hand with some curiosity and said, "Can you show it to me?"

Li Xu nodded and handed the campus card to Xia Xiaohe.

Xia Xiaohe took Li Xu's campus card and played with it carefully. It must be said that Peking University and Tsinghua University are different. Even a simple campus card has been carefully designed.

The front side has the cardholder's photo, major, and class information, while the back side has a carefully designed school background picture.

Xia Xiaohe took the campus card, played with it for a while, and then returned it to Li Xu.

Li Xu put away the campus card and said with a smile, "You will get your own campus card tomorrow. You must keep it well."

Li Xu pointed to a window in the cafeteria where a card reader was hanging on the wall. He said, "Do you see that card reader? You can use your campus card to pay at any place in the school that has one."

However, it must be said that the functions of this campus card are relatively simple, and the cost and technical difficulty are relatively low.

Suddenly, Li Xu thought of something and took out his campus card, handed it to Xia Xiaohe, and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot one thing. You're officially going to move into the school dormitory today. Since you haven't had time to apply for a campus card yet, you'll need this campus card to get hot water when you shower. There's a card slot next to the shower head. Insert your campus card to get hot water."

Xia Xiaohe took Li Xu's campus card, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse. She nodded gently, then raised her head, revealed a bright smile, and said, "Li Xu, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

Li Xu looked at Xia Xiaohe with amusement and said, "Do you want to treat me to a meal? That's fine."

Xia Xiaohe thought for a moment and said, "What do you like to eat?"

Li Xu said: "It's all right. I'm not picky about food."

Xia Xiaohe thought about it seriously before saying, "I heard Japanese food seems to be delicious. How about I treat you to some Japanese food?"

Li Xu's expression became a little strange. "Japanese food is too expensive, and it doesn't fill you up."

Xia Xiaohe shook her head and said seriously, "How can you not be full? If one portion isn't enough, just order ten. I'll definitely be able to fill you up."

Xia Xiaohe seemed very confident when she said this. When she saw Li Xu's surprised expression, she couldn't help but laugh softly.

To Li Xu's surprise, she was really happy.

Looking back on the past three years, when she first arrived at No. 9 Middle School, she felt embarrassed to talk to anyone, but gradually she made some friends in the city. When they got along with each other, they did not look down on her because of her poor background. Everyone was very nice and carefully protected her emotions. She could feel all of this.

The teachers also took good care of her, and she was always given priority in the school's grants and scholarships. Everyone liked to interact with her and make friends with her. In everyone's cognition, academic performance was the most worth showing off. Such an environment really made her feel comfortable.

When she graduated from high school, she was really reluctant to part with the time she had spent with everyone and cried for a long time. But after crying, she was only left with joy, which continued until she walked into the gate of this prestigious school. After following Li Xu and experiencing everything here personally, she knew that her destiny had extended towards a completely different path.

Of course, the most joyful thing did not end there. Xia Xiaohe looked at Li Xu's surprised expression and said with a little pride: "I was admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and I received a bonus of 50,000 yuan. The county also rewarded me with 50,000 yuan."

She spoke calmly, but her excitement was hard to suppress.

Once upon a time, she had fantasized about such a scene countless times. After accepting so many gifts from Li Xu, she really longed for the day when she could sit opposite Li Xu, look straight into his eyes, and then proudly say, "Order whatever you want, it's my treat."

For a long time, such a scene was really just a fantasy for her. When she was studying, she didn't know how she could complete such a scene. But after the college entrance examination, the fantasy came true, and this day came much earlier than she imagined.

Think about it from a higher level, and be grateful that you live in this country and this era. As long as you have good enough grades, there will be no school you cannot go to or books you cannot afford to read.

Li Xu smiled silently, and then he realized that since Xia Xiaohe entered this prestigious school, she was no longer the girl who was reluctant to buy even chocolate.

But then Li Xu's eyes flickered, because he suddenly realized something. In a sense, the cost he invested in Xia Xiaohe could actually be paid back in one go if Xia Xiaohe was willing. From a purely material point of view, it didn't cost much money to support Xia Xiaohe's three years of study.

But when he looked into Xia Xiaohe's eyes, he knew that such a scene would not happen.

Li Xu took a sip of the noodle soup and was in a good mood.

In the cafeteria, warm yellow lights cast a soft light, and the surrounding sounds include students’ whispered conversations and the subtle clinking of tableware, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

Xia Xiaohe's changes were greater than he had imagined. Although Xia Xiaohe was still the shy and frugal girl at heart, her gaze was no longer the same as when he first met her in the countryside. She would avoid looking at him. She now had a confidence that radiated from the inside out.

Thinking of this, Li Xu deliberately stared into Xia Xiaohe's eyes. Xia Xiaohe dared to meet Li Xu's gaze at first, but after only a few seconds, she looked away in panic, and then said with some complaint: "You, why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Xu laughed heartily and said with some regret: "Today, I should have given you a grand welcome, but it's a pity that I only ordered two bowls of noodles and not even a drink. Otherwise, I would have had a toast with you."

Xia Xiaohe picked up the bowl of noodles and gently pushed it over to touch Li Xu's bowl, whispering, "That's fine too."

Li Xu smiled and said, "Hahaha, yes, that's fine too. We're going to work anyway, so let's finish this bowl of noodles!"

Outside the window, night has quietly fallen. Today's moon is a crescent moon, hanging in the deep night sky. The moonlight falls as softly as water, making people's emotions jump constantly.

When Xia Xiaohe returned to the dormitory, she walked on the small path in the campus. The trees on the side of the road swayed gently in the breeze, and their shadows danced on the ground.

She looked at the crescent moon, a smile appearing on her face from time to time, "I can finally look him in the eye," she thought.

Orientation lasted two days, with registration still taking place on the second day. When Li Xu arrived, the campus was bustling with people. The sun was bright and warm, shining on the flowers and plants lining the path, casting a golden glow over the entire campus.

The welcome booths of each college were bustling with activity, and freshmen were walking around with curiosity and anticipation.

Xia Xiaohe is from the Academy of Social Sciences. Of course, many people's future careers often have nothing to do with their university majors, and this rule is also true at Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Xia Xiaohe's major was transferred there. Originally, she wanted to enter the School of Management where Li Xu was, but it didn't matter that she was in the School of Social Sciences now. Anyway, in college, improving thinking methods and cognitive abilities is sometimes more important than improving professional skills.

Therefore, as for what position Xia Xiaohe will play in her team in the future, we don’t need to consider her major. As long as it does not involve technology, many things can be left to Xia Xiaohe.

The next day was a sunny day. There was not a cloud in the blue sky and the sun poured down without reservation.

Because they had made an appointment to have dinner together, Li Xu was already waiting for her outside Xia Xiaohe's dormitory before eleven o'clock.

In the small square in front of the dormitory building, many students were coming and going, some carrying luggage, and some chatting with new friends.

Unfortunately, he didn't drive. It was Li Xu's own fault. Ever since he and An Duoduo drove the car back to Jinchuan City, he really had no motivation to drive back to the capital from Jinchuan City. The car had been gathering dust in the garage at home for a long time. Fortunately, the demand for the car was relatively low in the previous semester, and he spent most of his time in school, so it didn't matter.

But it is foreseeable that the frequency of using the car will definitely increase a lot starting from this semester. When Li Xu thought of this, he felt a little regretful and knocked his head lightly.

Just when he was daydreaming downstairs, Xia Xiaohe came downstairs, but when he saw Xia Xiaohe today, his face was slightly stunned.

At this time, the sunlight shone on Xia Xiaohe, but it did not make her look energetic at all.

Xia Xiaohe sneezed, and her nose turned red, and she blew her nose from time to time.

Li Xu blinked, looked Xia Xiaohe up and down, and then asked, "Why did you catch a cold?"

Xia Xiaohe looked a little weak, but still chuckled, then said in a heavy nasal voice: "Maybe I caught a cold from the cold last night."

Li Xu was a little confused. He had clearly given Xia Xiaohe his campus card yesterday, so why did she catch a cold? A hot shower shouldn't have caused this, and it didn't rain last night. Could it be that Xia Xiaohe was reluctant to use the money on his card, so she took a cold shower? Li Xu shook this absurd thought out of his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Xia Xiaohe heard the hint of blame in Li Xu's tone and quickly shook her head and said, "I used the money in your card to take a hot bath."

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, as if he shouldn't have such a complaining tone, and Xia Xiaohe shouldn't have deliberately explained it, but these two short sentences of dialogue made Li Xu feel a little weird. This was clearly an inexplicable tacit understanding.

Xia Xiaohe didn't think too much about it. Her throat was sore at the moment. She sighed and said, "Yesterday, halfway through my shower, the card insertion device seemed to break. The hot water suddenly turned cold. Halfway through my shower, my head was covered in bubbles. I had no choice but to quickly rinse myself and go to bed. Although I dried myself as quickly as possible, I still caught a cold."

As she spoke, Xia Xiaohe couldn't help sneezing, but despite this, she still raised her head and said, "But no matter what, I still want to treat you to dinner today. Let's go."

Xia Xiaohe had just taken two steps when she realized that Li Xu hadn't caught up. She turned around and asked curiously, "Come on, lead the way. I can't find the way out."

Li Xu went over and knocked her on the head in anger and said, "You're still going out to eat like this."

Xia Xiaohe said in an almost pleading tone, "It doesn't matter, I want to go." There was another half sentence she didn't say, which was that she wanted to invite Li Xu.

Li Xu sighed slightly and said, "Go back to the dormitory now. I'll go get you some medicine."

Xia Xiaohe quickly shook her head and said, "No, really, it's just a minor cold." But before she finished her words, she sneezed again.

Li Xu saw that Xia Xiaohe had already stopped listening to him, and he felt a little sad. He said, "This is not up to you."

Li Xu forced Xia Xiaohe back to the dormitory. These two days were the period for welcoming new students, so many men were allowed to enter and leave the girls' dormitory. Everyone in Xia Xiaohe's dormitory had not arrived yet. The dormitory was simply and tidyly decorated, with beds and desks in order.

When Li Xu took Xia Xiaohe upstairs, Xia Xiaohe's roommates' eyes lit up the moment they saw Li Xu.

Xia Xiaohe said softly, "I really don't think there's anything wrong with me."

Li Xu took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket and said, "Stop sneezing and talk."

One of Xia Xiaohe's roommates looked at Li Xu curiously and asked, "Xia Xiaohe, is this your boyfriend?"

Xia Xiaohe was startled and quickly shook her head, saying, "No, no, he, he is, he is my senior in high school."

Xia Xiaohe thought for a few seconds before coming up with a name to introduce Li Xu. After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Li Xu. When the girl heard that Li Xu was not Xia Xiaohe's boyfriend, her eyes lit up in an instant and she quickly asked, "Senior, there are so many things I don't know. Can I ask you for help?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "Of course."

After Li Xu agreed to his roommate's request so readily, Xia Xiaohe felt a sour feeling in her heart for no reason.

At this moment, the girl asked again: "Can I have your phone number?" The girl took out her cell phone and prepared to record it.

But at this moment, Li Xu smiled politely and said, "Haha, I can't really remember my phone number. If you have any questions, just ask Xiaohe. Let her ask me."

How could someone not remember their own phone number? The girl was stunned for a moment, but she also naturally heard Li Xu's refusal. She felt a little disappointed for a moment, but she still maintained her decency and said, "Oh, okay, then I'll let Xia Xiaohe help you with any questions."

After hearing this, Xia Xiaohe felt better.

Li Xu settled Xia Xiaohe down and went out to buy medicine for her.

After delivering the medicine to Xia Xiaohe, he was playing with the campus card that Xia Xiaohe had returned to him when he returned. Suddenly, he stopped. At this time, he was standing at the door of a campus supermarket, and the shelves were full of various goods.

He glanced at the card reader in the supermarket, then looked at the campus card in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze moved.
