She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

In the following days, Jiang Lai spent a few days having fun in the capital with Lu Jin's family and filmed some videos. However, because she had a lot of fun every day, she was exhausted when she returned to the hotel. As a result, the footage that Jiang Lai filmed remained unreleased and was not posted on Douyin.

She doesn't do live streams, post videos, or update her social media. Her fans are quite resentful, but there's nothing they can do about it.

The first day of school registration arrived quickly. Lu Jin's mother thought that if they went to register early on the first day, there would be fewer people. So she decided to take both children to register first, and then she and Lu Jin's father could go home.

"Let's go to Lai Lai's school first, and then we'll register Lu Jin." Lu's mother quickly arranged the day's itinerary. They had breakfast at the hotel and were resting.

Lu Jin feigned displeasure and said, "Mom, I'm your own son!"

Lu Jin's mother looked disgusted: "But you didn't get into Beijing University! This is my only chance in my life to get in!"

Lu Jin suggested, "How about you and Dad have another child who can pass the exam?"

Lu Jin's mother raised her hand and slapped him on the back: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lu Jin's father also glared angrily at his son from the side.

Jiang Lai smiled happily. She was very grateful for the help from Lu Jin's family. Lu Jin's family knew about her situation and were afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle things on her own, so Lu Jin's mother offered to help her register first.

Although Jiang Lai could do all of this on her own, it's ultimately different with her parents' help.

"Shall we take a taxi? Or rent a car?" Lu Jin's father asked.

Jiang Lai quickly said, "Let's take the subway! I only have one bag and one suitcase, so the subway is more convenient. Driving might lead to traffic jams during rush hour."

Lu Jin's mother agreed, "Lai Lai is right. Let's take the subway, and after Lai Lai is done with her work, we can go back to the hotel to get our things and then go to Lu Jin's school."

Lu Jin shrugged: "I'll do whatever you say."

Lu Jin's father also had no objections.

-

After leaving the hotel, the four of them went to the subway station. Line 11 goes directly to Imperial University Station. The subway was still crowded on a weekday. Lu Jin carried Jiang Lai's suitcase, so Jiang Lai was quite relaxed.

The subway ran smoothly, and the billboards flashed by outside the carriages.

"We've arrived at Imperial University. Open the right-hand gate and watch your step..." the announcement dutifully broadcast.

Jiang Lai was pulled off the subway by Lu Jin's mother. The four of them followed the landmarks out of the subway station and then walked for about eight minutes to reach Imperial University.

There were already quite a few private cars at the school gate, causing a severe traffic jam, and there were people everywhere.

Lu Jin's father breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily I didn't drive here, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find a place to park."

Jiang Lai turned her gaze to the university in front of her. The square at the school gate was very large, and the campus wall was brick red, which looked very elegant and simple.

The main gate of the campus is flanked by heavy marble pillars topped with imposing stone lions. The gate itself is very tall, with the four large, gilded characters "Imperial Capital University" carved in stone, written in a vigorous and powerful style, exuding a magnificent aura.

Standing in front of this century-old prestigious school, Lu's mother seemed very excited. She pulled Jiang Lai to stand under the sign at the main entrance.

"Quickly take a picture for us, make sure to include our names."

Lu Jin's father had a point-and-shoot camera hanging around his neck and was diligently taking pictures.

"Lu Jin! Come here too!" Lu Jin's mother called out to him, "Let's take a picture together, the four of us!"

Lu Jin: "Huh?"

"What are you doing? Come here, Lao Lu, come here too."

Lu Jin walked over with his suitcase, and Lu Jin's father randomly pulled a girl to help take a picture, and then he also came over.

The girl was very enthusiastic, saying, "Uncle, you and your son stand at the back, and let Auntie and her daughter stand at the front!"

Lu Jin's mother smiled and said, "Okay, okay!" without saying that Jiang Lai wasn't her daughter.

The girl took two photos, looked at them, and then suggested, "Should we take off our masks?"

Jiang Lai was stunned; she didn't react at first.

Lu Jin's mother said, "It's okay, it's fine to film like this."

Jiang Lai, on the contrary, decided to take off her mask.

Everything will get better, won't it? She should embrace her future with a fresh perspective.

Jiang Lai is wearing a light green spaghetti strap dress with a white cardigan over it. The dress has a cinched waist that accentuates her slender figure, and the dress is medium-length, revealing her long, straight legs.

This outfit looks very fresh and ladylike.

Jiang Lai raised her hand, her wrist was slender, her hand was as soft as a tender shoot, and her fingers were as green as scallions. She deftly took off her mask.

The girl across from me: "!!!!" With a face like that, why are you wearing a mask??

The girl opposite me had an extremely beautiful face. Her small, delicate face was exquisite, and her features were exceptionally beautiful. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, adding a touch of charm.

Jiang Lai smiled and said, "Take another one for us!"

The girl panicked and stammered, "Okay, okay, no problem!"

Jiang Lai's smile widened, her slender eyebrows curving with laughter, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her smile captivating, truly radiant.

The girl was determined to take the best possible picture of the girl in front of her. She put in all her effort, took several pictures, and then returned the camera to Lu Jin's father.

"Thank you, little girl!" said Lu Jin's mother.

The girl waved her hands repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's nothing serious." Then she cautiously looked at Jiang Lai: "Are you a freshman?"

Jiang Lai smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm a freshman majoring in finance."

The girl was shocked: "You're so amazing!"

The business school at Imperial Capital University is very famous, ranking among the top in the world. Its finance program is the most prestigious, with ridiculously high admission scores, attracting many top scorers in the national college entrance examination every year.

Business school students are all extraordinary individuals; freshmen often secure internship offers from top domestic companies, and graduates are found throughout the financial and business sectors both domestically and internationally. It's fair to say that simply entering business school means you've already built a considerable network of connections.

Of course, graduating from business school is also very difficult. The teachers are strict, the students are very competitive, and many people have to postpone their graduation or even fail to graduate at all.

For students, this is a hellish challenge.

Many people say that after three years of hard work in high school, you can relax in college, but that's not true at all, especially for students at the Business School of Beijing University.

The girl herself could be considered a top student; after all, no one who gets into Peking University is stupid. However, she felt that she couldn't compare to the people in the business school.

"I'm a third-year journalism student, and my name is Lan Liting," the girl introduced herself.

Jiang Lai said, "Hello, senior! My name is Jiang Lai! This is my friend and his parents."

Lu Jin and the others also greeted Lan Liting.

"Hey junior, want to add me on WeChat?"

Jiang Lai took out her phone: "Sure! If I have any questions, I can ask Senior Sister Jiao!"

"Haha, no problem! Senior knows everything!"

After adding her on WeChat, Jiang Lai said goodbye and planned to go report for duty first.

"Bye-bye, junior!"

Lan Liting stood there watching her walk away. The graceful figure of the junior schoolmate disappeared from sight. If it weren't for the WeChat contact she had just added on her phone, she might have thought it was all just her imagination.

"Hey sis, what are you doing?! Did you do the news interview that Teacher Wang asked you to come out and do it? Why are you just standing here spacing out?" A girl patted Lan Liting on the shoulder.

She murmured, "I think I've hit the scoop!"

"what?"

"I saw an incredibly beautiful female student!!!"

"Beautiful women? What's so special about beautiful women?"

Although Beijing University, as a top university, has fewer handsome men and beautiful women, and everyone wins based on their intelligence and ability, there are still quite a few good-looking people there!

“That’s different!!! This one is absolutely gorgeous!” Lan Liting grabbed her friend’s hand. “She’s just like the lilac maiden in the poem. She stood in front of me and smiled at me. I was immediately captivated. She passed by me, carrying a rich fragrance that made me fall into a dream she gave me.”

"Stop, stop! I really can't stand you journalism students. Why do you say things that are even more cheesy than what I, a Chinese literature major, say?" My friend rubbed his arms. "It's the middle of summer, and my arms are covered in goosebumps!"

"Wow, this junior is so beautiful and smart, and she's from the business school!" Lan Liting exclaimed. "If we ever need a freshman photo for the cover of the school newspaper or a newsletter, I absolutely have to get the photography department to take her picture!!!"

"Don't abuse your position as Minister of Media and Communications for personal gain!!!"

-

Jiang Lai was unaware of what was happening here; she had already gone to her college's registration office.

The Business School is the wealthiest school in the entire Imperial University. The donations from alumni are almost enough to rebuild the entire Imperial University. As a result, the registration area for new students in the Business School is not set up in tents like other schools, but in a special hall.

The lobby was spacious and bright, and the central air conditioning was very strong, making the whole lobby cool and pleasant.

Jiang Lai soon spotted the long table for finance students, where some senior students were already waiting.

"Hello, I'm here to report for duty."

The senior students in charge of new student registration immediately looked at the person who had arrived upon hearing the voice, and were all amazed, unable to react for a moment.

"Senior? Senior sister??" Jiang Lai asked in confusion.

One of them immediately snapped out of it. "A freshman, right? Let me see your acceptance letter."

Jiang Lai handed him the admission notice. The senior student glanced at it and said, "Jiang Lai, right? You're from Finance Class 1. Your class assistant was called away by the teacher, so I'm here to stand in for her for a while. This is yours."

The senior handed over a file folder with Jiang Lai's name, class number, and dormitory number written on it.

"There are your dorm room key and your student ID card inside. Don't lose them. You need them to enter and exit the dorm, the library, and the campus gates. Also, this is the WeChat ID of your Finance Class 1 teaching assistant. Scan it."

Jiang Lai scanned the screen and a pink profile picture appeared.

"The teaching assistant is a girl?" "Yes, she's really capable." The senior smiled. "She's my girlfriend."

Jiang Lai smiled too: "Then senior is so lucky!"

"Haha, thank you, thank you." The senior chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "You bought the school's bedding, right? You can pick it up at the gym later. Take this receipt with you. Do you need any help? It's a bit heavy."

Jiang Lai turned around and glanced at Lu Jin's family, who were standing in the distance watching her with smiles. She then turned to her senior and said, "No need, I have family here."

"That's good. Go ahead then. School officially starts the day after tomorrow. You can move into your dorm these next couple of days. Just let the dorm supervisor know."

"Okay, thank you, senior." "It's nothing, you can go ahead and do your work."

"Holy crap, Lao Zheng!!! That girl is in Class 1?? Why isn't she in my class?? Why are all the pretty girls in Class 1?"

"Old Zheng! My dear brother! Could you ask your wife to give me your junior's WeChat ID?"

"So beautiful!!! The finance department is really lucky this year!"

"Isn't she at the level of the most beautiful girl in the college or the most beautiful girl in the school?"

Jiang Lai is gone, but the discussion about her continues.

-

Jiang Lai took the things and walked towards Lu Jin.

Lu Jin's mother stepped forward. "How is it? Is everything done?"

"Go to the gym to get your blankets and other things first, then go to your dorm!"

"Then let's go quickly!" After saying that, Lu Jin's mother pulled Jiang Lai out of the hall. "You two follow along! Where's the stadium?"

Jiang Lai had already confirmed the direction of the stadium, so she led them directly there.

Upon arriving at the gymnasium, after showing the form to the person in charge, they received their bedding, which Lu Jin's father carried effortlessly.

"Let's go to the dorm!" he said casually.

After asking several people, Jiang Lai finally found her building and got her bed number from the dormitory supervisor.

When I opened the dormitory door, it was still empty; there was no one there.

"Lai Lai, you're the first one here!" Lu Jin's mother said, looking around the dormitory room. "Is this a suite?"

This isn't a traditional university dormitory; it's more like a fully furnished apartment. The business school certainly has money.

It's still a four-person dormitory, not a bunk bed with a desk underneath, but four beds in total. The desks are all on one side, and the wardrobes are near each person's bed. The balcony is large and has a washing machine and a dryer. There's also air conditioning. The bathroom has a separate shower and toilet area with two toilet stalls and two shower stalls, which is more than enough for four people.

Lu Jin clicked his tongue twice. "This is too exaggerated. It's almost as good as home. I don't expect my school to have such good accommodations. A four-person dormitory with bunk beds and desks, a balcony, and a private bathroom would be fine."

Lu Jin was about to say something when his mother shoved him, "What are you standing there for? Go clean the house with your dad! Do I have to tell you that? You're so inconsiderate!"

Lu Jin put his suitcase down and said helplessly, "Okay, Mom—"

Lu Jin's mother said to Jiang Lai, "Let the father and son clean the room first, then we'll tidy up our things."

"Okay," Jiang Lai said with a smile.

Lu Jin and his father were quick to act, and the room was cleaned up in no time.

Jiang Lai then worked with Lu Jin's mother to take everything out and put it away.

"We're still missing a lot of things!" Lu Jin's mother said while tidying up. "Let's go out for dinner first, and then go shopping at the mall. Lai Lai, we still need to buy all your things first, so it'll be easier for you if I bring them back for you. I don't think we need to go to Lu Jin's school today."

Lu Jin sat down in a chair to the side and said, "I have no objection."

"You dare to have any objections?"

"I definitely wouldn't dare."

After packing their things, Jiang Lai and the others went to a nearby shopping mall for a meal, and then bought all their daily necessities at a large supermarket on the basement floor. Lu Jin and his father were still in charge of carrying the items.

Back in the dorm, she immediately started packing, not finishing until evening. Jiang Lai still hadn't seen her roommate.

"Shall we go back to the hotel tonight?" Lu Jin's mother asked.

Jiang Lai nodded, and the four of them returned to the hotel.
