Chapter 11: Arriving so late? There's definitely something fishy going on!
"That's wonderful! My son has never had any friends growing up, and it worries us a lot. If it weren't for his sister, Luo Yao would be even more lonely!"
Sun Xiulan quickly said to Luo Yao, who was sitting in the front row, "Yao'er, did you hear that? You'll be able to make friends when you get to university!"
Seeing Sun Xiulan so happy, Luo Yao turned to Professor Ouyang and asked, "Are all the people in university really smart? Why do I keep hearing people describe them as 'clear-headed but foolish' university students?"
Do you have to be so blunt?
Teacher Ouyang was a little worried. Given Luo Yao's personality, he was genuinely afraid that Luo Yao would be isolated.
"Ahem, that was just a joke. The students at our school are all pretty good, especially those in your major."
Professor Ouyang wasn't lying to Luo Yao. Because Professor Xia Qing was there, the selection process for the School of Microelectronics Science and Engineering was always very strict, and the students there were known for their intelligence. Luo Yao might actually be able to make a few friends there.
Can you really make friends?
After hearing what Teacher Ouyang said, Luo Yao also inexplicably became looking forward to it.
His mother always felt that he couldn't make friends, was all alone, and was very pitiful.
On the contrary, Luo Yao didn't think much of it. He enjoyed being alone, where he could study his electromagnetism or math problems undisturbed.
However, the Luo family did not understand any of this; they believed that people must have friends.
Like my older sister, she has four or five friends in the small town, and she cried when she called to say goodbye to them just now.
He couldn't understand this feeling.
In his view, this was useless.
However, to please his mother, he was still willing to make some friends at university.
At least Professor Ouyang said that people in universities aren't that stupid.
As night slowly fell, the Luo family, led by seven admissions officers, drove towards the airport.
To avoid causing further trouble, Teacher Ouyang asked Luo Yao's parents not to make a sound before they arrived at the school.
Once they arrived at the school, Sun Xiulan told her small-town friends, who had noticed that no one was home, that her family had moved to a big city.
Once a few friends spread the word, the whole town quickly became abuzz.
The Luo family was so poor, yet they went to a big city!
What's even more outrageous is that Luo Yao went alone!
On this day, many parents in the town began to urge their children on, hoping that one day their children could be like Luo Yao and enable their whole family to live in a big city!
When Wang Ergou learned that the Luo family had left, he was both happy and angry.
They were happy because they would be the only restaurant in the area from now on, and business would be much better. But they were also angry because the other party had gone to a big city before them!
Wang Ergou called his son over and said angrily, "Now that that brat Luo Yao is gone, you better study hard! You must live a better life than him in the future, understand?"
After seeing his son nod, Wang Ergou's anger subsided a little.
"Just wait and see! Luo Yao is just a little smarter now, but once he enters the workforce, he'll still be just a wage earner."
After hearing that many college graduates still end up working odd jobs after entering the workforce, Wang Ergou felt that college graduates weren't anything special.
"Son, study hard. After you graduate from university, come and inherit the family restaurant! If we become a little wealthier by then, we'll open another branch!"
"good!"
While the Wang family father and son were planning their grand ambitions, the Luo family had already left the airport.
On the way, Teacher Ouyang made several phone calls to arrange accommodations for Luo Yao and his family.
Since Luo Yao's family couldn't stay in the dormitory with him, Teacher Ouyang arranged for them to stay in the staff dormitory.
As for Luo Yao, because he arrived at school more than a month later than others, he could only be assigned to a dormitory that was not full.
To make it easier for Luo Yao to communicate with others, Teacher Ouyang finally coordinated with the dormitory management to move students from other majors in a mixed-major dormitory to another dormitory, leaving only the two students from the Microelectronics Science and Engineering major.
Before boarding the plane to Dongcheng, the other admissions officers had already left on other planes. They still had tasks to complete, so they did not come to Dongcheng with the Luo family.
As the Luo family traveled by car to East China University of Science and Technology, they were stunned by the scenery outside the car window.
There's even an ocean!
The family, who had never seen the sea before, were captivated by the distant expanse of blue water.
Even Luo Yao, who had always been in his own world, was attracted by the sea; this was the first time he had ever seen it.
The salty, damp smell seemed to drift in from the sea, and Luo Yao, smelling the unfamiliar scent, was filled with anticipation for the life to come.
The campus of East China University of Science and Technology covers an area of more than 3130 acres and has more than 30,000 students.
It is lunchtime right now.
Everyone was strolling around the school after finishing their meal.
When Teacher Ouyang let the taxi driver drive into the campus, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Which teacher is this? Walking this way, aren't they afraid of being punished by the principal?"
"Yeah, I already said cars aren't allowed near the dorms, and there were two cars coming in right away, really brave!"
"I'd like to see which teacher is so bold!"
The students all looked in the direction of the taxi. They noticed that the taxi had stopped for a while in the direction of the staff dormitory before heading towards the student dormitory.
"What's going on? Are they dropping off students?"
"Didn't the registration time already pass? Why are you only arriving now?"
"Wow, could he be some kind of rich kid?"
"These rich kids can sign up so late, waiting until we've finished our military training? Damn it! I'm reporting them!"
"I want to see which rich kid is so shameless!"
The students, who had eaten and drunk their fill, were not in a hurry to do anything, but when they heard that some rich kids were only now signing up, they became indignant!
So you want special treatment, huh?
They want to see who dares to get special treatment!
So after Ouyang and Luo Yao got off the car, a lot of students gathered around them.
Are these students really that free?
What are you looking at?
Teacher Ouyang was completely baffled and pondered the situation.
After getting out of the car, Luo Yao frowned slightly when he saw the people around him.
"Teacher Ouyang, the students here don't seem as smart as you say. They're just wasting their time standing around here."
Teacher Ouyang was instantly embarrassed, and he quickly tried to make amends, saying, "These students have been in class all morning and just want to rest for a bit."
What a bunch of scumbags!
Teacher Ouyang dared not let Luo Yao stand outside the dormitory anymore, otherwise Luo Yao's impression of their school would be ruined by these scoundrels.
When they saw Teacher Ouyang leading Luo Yao inside, the onlookers started discussing it.
"That guy is so handsome! But judging from his clothes and appearance, he doesn't seem like a rich kid!"
"Why do I feel like the other person is so young? Like a high school student!"
