Rebirth to Save Myself

Despite Su Xia's repeated explanations, the start of the school year finally arrived, and the two of them embarked on different journeys, meeting different people and attending different universities.

Chen Jianguo and Chen Chunqi saw the two off at their respective airports before leaving. Looking at the clouds outside, Su Xia felt a pang of worry, afraid of encountering the same kind of roommate she'd had in her past life. She worried about whether she should open up to her roommates whom she'd only recently met, and she was also afraid Chen Yuan would be bullied. Because of Chen Jianguo's wealth, the two of them had never lived at school, always staying at home and being frequently driven to and from school.

Since most students travel to school by high-speed train or bus, Su Xia didn't see any upperclassmen picking up the new students when she arrived in Changsha. The upperclassmen probably didn't expect the freshmen to fly in either; these days, aside from the wealthy, who doesn't try to save money when traveling?

Su Xia had no choice but to take the airport bus to the city center first, and then transfer to another bus to get to school. Luckily, she had been here before, so she was quite familiar with the area. In addition, Chen Chunqi had sent many of her things to the school by express delivery so that she could just pick them up at the school's delivery station.

As soon as Su Xia stood at the school gate, a male student immediately came up to her and asked, "Junior, are you here to register?"

"Junior, let me help you with your luggage!"

"Hey junior, what's your major? I'll take you to register."

"Hey junior, are you interested in joining our club? Our club is very free and perfect for young people."

Su Xia was a little flustered by the crowd when a girl pulled her out of the crowd and said to the group of boys, "Shut up, all of you. There are still many freshmen over there who need help. Go and help them all."

Seeing that the boys had dispersed, the girl turned back to Su Xia and asked, "Are you alright? They were a bit agitated. Did they scare you?"

"It's nothing." Su Xia shook her head, then asked, "Thank you, senior. My name is Su Xia."

"You must be Su Xia. I'm a third-year student majoring in Chinese Language and Literature. My name is Su Wanqing." The girl was slightly surprised by Su Wanqing's appearance, then extended her hand and introduced herself generously.

"Hello, Senior Wanqing!"

“I chased those boys away, so I’ll take you to register and choose your dorm.”

"Excuse me, Senior."

"You are quite famous among this year's freshmen. You are a science student but you chose Chinese Language and Literature as your major."

"I've loved Chinese language and history since I was a child. I also visited the school before and really liked it, so I applied for this major. I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect to be accepted."

"Your score is more than enough to apply to any other major in the university. Our Chinese Language and Literature major has relatively few students, usually only one or two classes. Classes are held according to the timetable, and you can participate in clubs or do part-time jobs in your spare time. The dormitories are standard four-person rooms with private bathrooms and showers. Your year is quite lucky; the university just installed air conditioning in all the dormitories during the summer vacation."

"Then I've really caught a good time."

"Yes, let's register first, then go to the dormitory to drop off our luggage, and then I'll show you around the school and show you the location of the cafeteria and teaching buildings."

"All right."

Then Su Wanqing took Su Xia to the registration office, and then to choose a dormitory. Su Wanqing found that not everyone in Su Xia's dormitory was from the Chinese Language and Literature Department, so she asked, "Why weren't the dormitories assigned according to major?"

"This year, the Chinese Language and Literature Department had two more students, so they shared a dormitory with other departments."

"What departments are the other two in?"

"civil Engineering."

"That's alright. Girls who study civil engineering are all hardworking," Su Wanqing comforted Su Xia. Because their Chinese Language and Literature major often shares dorm rooms with other majors due to a small number of students. If they encounter girls from civil engineering or communications technology, it's fine; everyone gets along well. But if they encounter girls from broadcasting or hosting, some minor friction is inevitable, so the teachers try to avoid this problem when assigning dorm rooms.

"Mmm." Su Xia had chosen interior design as her major in her previous life, which was related to civil engineering, so she had a little bit of knowledge about this major.

Next, Su Wanqing led Su Xia to the dormitory. As soon as Su Xia pushed open the door, she saw neat bunk beds with desks underneath on both sides. This was simply perfect. There was no need to worry about who would sleep on the top bunk and who would sleep on the bottom bunk, and those on the bottom bunk wouldn't have to worry about their beds being stepped on.

"Looks like you're the first one here, so you can choose your dorm room first." Su Wanqing looked around and, finding that no one else had been there, smiled at Su Xia and said.

"I'm not in a hurry. Let's wait for the others to arrive so we can choose together." Su Xia shook her head. Some people were quite particular about choosing a bed. To avoid dormitory problems from the start, it was best to wait for them to decide together.

"That's really surprising," Su Wanqing remarked. In her opinion, Su Xia's clothes were all expensive, and she brought a laptop and tablet to school right from the start of her freshman year, both of which appeared to be Apple products. Su Wanqing thought Su Xia was the naive type of rich girl, so she was quite surprised to hear that Su Xia had made such a rational decision not to prioritize choosing a bed.

"Huh? What's the surprise, senior?"

"I was surprised you had this thought. I was so excited when I chose my bed when school started."

"Haha, actually, it doesn't really matter where I sleep, it's all the same as sleeping in this dorm room."

"You only brought one suitcase. Are you planning to buy the rest of your things at school?"

"No, I was just about to ask you, senior, where is our school's courier station, and if we have any trolleys we can borrow?"

"Wow, you're so smart!" Su Wanqing immediately realized that Su Xia had sent the items to the school by courier, so that she wouldn't be too tired from carrying too many things on the way.

"No, my parents were worried I'd get tired, so they sent it by courier."

"It's okay, I'll take you to the courier station in a bit. The people there are all students working part-time. We can just borrow a cart from them."

"Uh-huh."

Su Wanqing waited with Su Xia for a while, and then another girl majoring in Chinese Language and Literature arrived. She opened the door and saw that there were people inside. Su Xia greeted her with a smile: "Hi, are you from this dormitory?"

"She is." At this moment, another boy came out, pushing two suitcases, which should belong to the girl.

"Hello, my name is Su Xia."

"Hello, my name is Chen Wanying," the girl said softly.

"She's rather introverted and doesn't talk much, so the rest of you in the dorm shouldn't bully her," the boy said again.

"Hey boy, are you from our school?" Seeing how domineering the boy was, Su Wanqing and the others didn't do anything aggressive while standing in the dormitory.

"Zhe, don't do that." Chen Wanying tugged at the boy's clothes, then said to Su Wanqing and Su Xia, "I'm sorry, Zhe didn't mean it."

"I'm a freshman in the Computer Science Department. My name is Lin Zhe," Lin Zhe said, pulling Chen Wanying behind him.

"What are you doing blocking the doorway?" A female voice suddenly rang out from behind them. Everyone looked over and saw a short-haired beauty.

"No, I'm sorry." Chen Wanying quickly pulled Lin Zhe aside and let the girl go inside.

"Aren't you from this dorm?" the girl asked as Chen Wanying stepped aside.

"She is," Lin Zhe replied, then took Chen Wanying's luggage into the dormitory, and Chen Wanying followed him in.

"Oh, I didn't think so. Hello everyone, my name is Ye Zhenzhen, and I'm from the Civil Engineering Department." The girl put down her backpack and introduced herself to everyone.

"Hello, my name is Su Xia, and I am a student in the Chinese Language and Literature Department."

"My name is Chen Wanying, and I am a student in the Chinese Language and Literature Department."

"I am Su Wanqing, a third-year student in the Chinese Language and Literature Department."

The three girls introduced themselves one by one. Ye Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow at Lin Zhe, as if asking him why he didn't introduce himself.

“He is Ye Zhe, my boyfriend,” Chen Wanying said softly.

"You should say that louder, you know? Is it hard for you to say that I'm your boyfriend?" Ye Zhe looked down at Chen Wanying.

"No, no, Zhe, don't be like this, there are other people around." Chen Wanying pushed Ye Zhe with her hand, trying to get him away from her.

"Move aside, you're blocking the way." A girl stood at the door, looking at the people inside the dormitory with a blank expression, seemingly very unhappy.

“You’re the last roommate, right? Perfect timing, we can start choosing our beds.” Su Xia helped ease Chen Wanying’s awkwardness, then asked everyone, “How do you want to decide? Does anyone want a special spot?”

"I'm fine with anything, it doesn't matter where I sleep." Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand, she had very low requirements for her sleeping environment.

“Me, I’m fine with anything,” Chen Wanying said, raising her hand.

"Whatever," the indifferent girl replied.

"Let's draw lots to decide the order of choosing beds." Su Xia had prepared four slips of paper beforehand, and then held out her hand for the three of them to take.

The aloof girl took one first, opened it without hesitation, and showed it to everyone: "Three."

Encouraged by Ye Zhenzhen's gaze, Chen Wanying picked up a slip of paper, opened it, and happily said to Ye Zhe, "One!"

"That's great! As expected of Yingying, she's always so lucky," Ye Zhe replied happily.

With the remaining two crumpled pieces of paper, Ye Zhenzhen didn't hesitate with Su Xia. She picked one up, opened it, and said, "Four! I'm the last one!"

“Then I’m the second one.” Su Xia said directly without even opening the crumpled paper.

In the end, Chen Wanying chose a window seat on the right, Su Xia chose another window seat, the aloof girl chose the bed next to Chen Wanying, and Ye Zhenzhen and Su Xia ended up on the same side.

"I've made all my choices, so I'm going to pick up my package now. My senior is still waiting for me here." Su Xia waved to the three of them, then put her luggage in her place and went out with Su Wanqing.

"Zhe, you should go to the dorm first, otherwise there won't be any good spots left," Chen Wanying said to Ye Zhe.

"I'll clean up for you before I go." Ye Zhe rolled up his sleeves without hesitation to help Chen Wanying wipe the dust off the table and bed.

"Tsk tsk, Wanying, your boyfriend is pretty good!" Ye Zhenzhen said familiarly as she walked up to Chen Wanying.

"Yes, Zhe is doing well." Chen Wanying nodded, and then went up to help Ye Zhe.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the couple, then looked at the last beautiful woman to enter, and asked, "Beautiful lady, what's your name? My name is Ye Zhenzhen, and her name is Chen Wanying. That's Chen Wanying's boyfriend, Ye Zhe."

"Lu Lu." The girl tidied her bed without turning her head.

"That sounds really nice." Ye Zhenzhen nodded and began tidying up her seat.

Not long after, Su Xia returned, accompanied by a boy who had pulled a cart full of packages. Su Xia said to the boy, "Thank you, senior, I've arrived at my dorm."

"Hehe, you're welcome." The boy smiled and left.

"Wow, Su Xia, you've got so many packages already since the start of the semester?" Ye Zhenzhen asked curiously, leaning closer to see what Su Xia had bought.

"These are all daily necessities." Su Xia took out a small folding knife from her backpack, wiped the chair, and started unpacking the packages. From tissues to hair dryers, then to towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste, the table was soon piled high with items.

"Wow, this hair dryer looks so high-end!" Ye Zhenzhen curiously turned on Su Xia's hair dryer and looked around curiously.

"My mom thought this was nice, so she bought one for me to use in my dorm," Su Xia said.

"Your mom is so nice!" Ye Zhenzhen looked around at Su Xia's things, and they all seemed to be of very good quality. The clothes she was wearing didn't look like they were from Taobao.

"Yes, my mom is great." Su Xia nodded. Chen Chunqi was incredibly kind to Su Xia.

The four of them tidied up the dorm, making sure the blankets and mats were in place. Ye Zhe was also persuaded by Chen Wanying to tidy up his own dorm. Su Xia noticed that Lu Lu didn't have any tissues, so she took out a pack of tissues from her own and handed it to her, saying, "You can use this first!"

"Thank you."

"We're all roommates, it's fine." After tidying up, Su Xia felt she had met her exercise goal for the day. Then she called Chen Yuan and asked, "Yuanyuan, have you arrived at school yet?"

"Xiaxia, I've arrived. I've already started cleaning up my dorm."

"That's good. How's the dorm? How are your roommates? What about Chen Wenwei?"

"It's pretty good, a four-person room, all is well. He went to his own dorm to tidy up, and we made plans to have dinner together."

"Okay, then be careful."

"Okay, Xiaxia, how's it going on your end?"

"Everything went smoothly. The upperclassmen at school are all very nice. I received all the packages my mom sent, and I've unpacked and tidied them up."

"I'm unpacking packages right now. My mom sent so many. I went to the courier station and filled a whole truck with them, and a bunch of people were watching."

"Me too, I feel like the stuff my mom sent can last me a whole semester!"

"That's right, that's right. Luckily it was a package. If it hadn't been on the plane with me, it would have been way overweight!"

"Yes, then pack your things carefully. Let's keep in touch, and let me know if anything comes up."

"Okay, bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye!"

Ye Zhenzhen curiously leaned closer and asked, "Who is it?"

"My sister is at Nankai University."

Wow, you sisters are amazing!
