As they spoke, the staff member took out paper and pen, wrote the route on the paper, tore it off, and handed it to Shen Yue.

Shen Yue was overjoyed. After thanking the staff, she set off again to find her dormitory.

This time, with a clear route, Shen Yue finally saw the white dormitory building after circling around several times, and the weight in her heart was finally lifted.

Upon entering the dormitory, Shen Yue found the space to be pitifully small.

Just four beds and a few worn-out tables took up almost the entire size of the dormitory.

Moreover, the dormitory only has one small window, making it difficult for sunlight to enter and causing the dormitory to appear somewhat dark.

Shen Yue frowned and began packing her luggage.

As she tidied up, she thought to herself, "If Chen Dong were still trying to please me, why would I be living in a place like this?"

"We could have rented a place to live outside a long time ago."

Shen Yue couldn't help but feel regret.

"Hello, my name is Lin Xiao, and I am your roommate."

A girl with a ponytail got out of bed and greeted Shen Yue with a smile.

Her bright smile brought a touch of warmth to the somewhat dull dormitory.

"Hello, I'm Shen Yue."

Shen Yue forced a smile in response, her eyes revealing a hint of desolation.

"You have so much luggage! This dorm room is already small, and it's almost overflowing."

Lin Xiao frowned as she looked at the pile of luggage.

Shen Yue smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

She sighed softly and continued packing her luggage, but her heart felt heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing down on it.

After packing her luggage, Shen Yue was exhausted and lay down on her dormitory bed, panting heavily.

After resting for a while, Shen Yue realized that she hadn't finished her report yet.

He quickly got up and left the dormitory.

As soon as she arrived in front of the teaching building, Shen Yue was stunned by the long queue in front of her.

The queue stretched like a long, winding dragon, with no end in sight.

"How long will the wait be?"

Shen Yue muttered under her breath, her face full of helplessness and frustration.

A girl next to her turned around, looked at Shen Yue, sighed, and said, "There's nothing we can do, there are just too many people registering this year."

"Many people who couldn't get into Tsinghua University came to this affiliated college, Beiping United University."

"I heard some students came to queue up this morning, but they still haven't finished processing their applications."

"This enrollment process is such a tedious thing, I'm getting a little impatient waiting for it."

Shen Yue stood helplessly in the queue, the scorching sun relentlessly burning her skin.

Sweat trickled down his cheeks, but was quickly dried by the scorching sun.

Her mood became increasingly irritable, and the image of Chen Dong kept popping into her mind.

"If he were here, he would definitely have a way to easily solve these problems."

Shen Yue thought to herself silently.

"He is always so witty and intelligent, and can easily deal with any problem he encounters."

"And I can only stand helplessly in this long queue, being baked by the scorching sun."

"Waiting for the opportunity to complete the enrollment procedures, which may never come."

Meanwhile, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran were already carrying large bags and small packages, returning home with a full load of goods.

They hummed cheerful tunes, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

It was as if the items in their hands were not heavy luggage, but a sweet life about to begin.

Back in their cozy rented apartment, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran put down their luggage and began to decorate the room.

Chen Dong carefully laid out the pink bedding, then gently patted it to make sure every wrinkle was smoothed out.

Chu Mengran neatly placed the newly bought stationery on her desk, with each pen arranged in an orderly fashion, like soldiers awaiting inspection.

"Mengran, from now on we'll study and live together here."

Chen Dong smiled at Chu Mengran, his eyes filled with anticipation and happiness.

Chu Mengran walked to the window, gently pulled back the curtains, and let the warm sunlight stream in.

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, she said happily, "Yes, Chen Dong, it's so cozy here, I love it."

"Besides, we live close to the school, so it will be very convenient for us to go to school in the future."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of anticipation for the future.

They seemed to see themselves in the future, studying hard, laughing, arguing, and making up in this small apartment.

We've spent countless wonderful times together.

Every morning, they would wake up together to the sunlight; every night, they would fall asleep together under the moonlight.

In this cozy little home, they will write their own chapter of youth together.

At Beiping Normal University, Tao Hao finally finished tidying up his dormitory and collapsed onto his bed, exhausted.

He stared at the ceiling, his eyes empty and lost.

It was as if, within those few short hours, all expectations for future university life had been lost.

Just then, his stomach started growling, the sound particularly loud in the quiet dormitory.

He then realized that he hadn't eaten yet.

Tao Hao sighed helplessly, got out of bed, and prepared to go to the cafeteria.

When Tao Hao arrived at the cafeteria, it was packed with people, and the noise filled the entire space, making him even more annoyed.

Students came and went, some queuing for food, some looking for seats, and some chatting loudly.

The entire cafeteria seemed to have transformed into a bustling market.

Tao Hao finally got to the window, only to find that today's food didn't look appetizing at all.

The food was dull in color and smelled strongly of cooking oil.

The rice grains were distinct, but they seemed to have lost their original aroma; the dishes also looked rather ordinary and unappetizing.

"Why is this food like this?"

Tao Hao said with dissatisfaction, his brows furrowed tightly.

The cafeteria lady rolled her eyes at Tao Hao and said irritably, "Eat it or don't, there are plenty of people eating here."

"If you don't want to eat, go away. Don't waste time standing here."

Tao Hao was speechless for a moment after being choked by his aunt's words.

He paused for a moment, then reluctantly picked up his tray and sat down in a corner.

He looked at the food on his plate, feeling a mix of emotions.

He slowly picked up his chopsticks, but hesitated to eat. In the end, he only managed a few bites before putting them down.

At Beiping United University, Shen Yue finally completed her enrollment procedures and dragged her tired body back to her dormitory.

As soon as she entered the room, she collapsed weakly onto the bed.

The dormitory was completely silent, save for the faint sound of breathing.

Shen Yue's tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back.

"Why is everyone else's college life so smooth and wonderful, while I have to go through so many troubles?"

Shen Yue asked herself in her heart, the voice seemingly coming from a distant place.

She thought of Chen Dong and Chu Mengran, who were probably sitting in their comfortable rented apartment right now, enjoying a sweet time together.
