A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 174 Is Nanjing University really a dream?

"Sister Mengyu, what are you looking at?" asked the girl with a bun next to her. The girl was petite, with pink and thin lips slightly upturned under her high nose bridge. Her pair of small, round almond-shaped eyes were looking up and down, observing the movements of her companions.

"Nothing, I was just wondering if Chen Jinnian had finished writing."

"Chen Jinnian? Is he the guy who always competes with you for the first place in Chinese? Where is he?" The little Loli stood on her heels and tried to look into the distance, searching for Chen Jinnian's figure. It seemed that she wanted to beat him up to vent her anger for her good sister.

"Okay, Li Yunxiao, they left a long time ago."

Cheng Mengyu showed a doting smile. She put her hand on Li Yunxiao's shoulder and pressed it lightly, pushing the other person's body back down after he had raised it with great difficulty.

"Sister Mengyu, I'm helping you." Li Yunxiao said dissatisfiedly.

"You help me, so why do you challenge me? Don't think I don't know that among the six people who want to challenge me, there is one of them, little guy like you." Cheng Mengyu gently tapped the other's forehead.

"I'm not a little guy. After my birthday in January next year, I will be 16 years old and not a child anymore." Li Yunxiao said, covering his forehead.

She is the youngest among the senior students this year. Many freshmen who just entered the school this year are older than her. She doesn't just look like a loli, she is a real loli.

Then she hugged Cheng Mengyu's arm and said, "Besides, I came here to accompany you because I was afraid you would be lonely. If I had known that this paper was so abnormal, I would not have come. By the way, Sister Mengyu, have you finished writing?"

"No, I've only written to the middle of page 11 of the test paper. I still have time to look at the rest." Cheng Mengyu shook her head.

She thought that her writing speed was not slow and she did not waste time because she could not remember. She really could not understand why Chen Jinnian was so much faster than her.

"You're the perennial number one in our liberal arts department. If you can't finish your work, no one else can. Forget about these trivial questions. Let's go. I'm starving."

After Li Yunxiao finished speaking, he dragged Cheng Mengyu's hand and ran out.

As for Chen Jinnian, who disappeared in a hurry just now, the reason why he left so quickly was, on the one hand, that he followed the basic principle of pretending to be cool and then running away, and on the other hand, he was exhausted from the three-hour bladder emergency.

After resolving his physical discomfort, he walked out of the school gate feeling refreshed and went to the snack street across the street to buy a bunch of junk food, such as grilled cold noodles, fried chicken chops, milk tea, grilled meat skewers, etc. He accepted everything.

On the way back, the tempting aroma of the pair of things he was carrying could be spread three or four meters away, attracting the attention of many passers-by, and many people couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

But Chen Jinnian didn't care at all. He took the skewers and ate them while walking. After being hungry for such a long time, coupled with an intense Chinese test, he now felt so hungry that he could eat a cow's leg.

Before entering the community, I saw a lonely figure wearing a down jacket, wandering aimlessly along the sidewalk on this cold night, in stark contrast to the hurried pace of the pedestrians.

"Yingzi, you're just sitting here with nothing to do, enjoying the northwest wind."

The sudden sound startled Qiao Yingzi, who was distracted. She calmed herself down and looked at Chen Jinnian, who was fighting with the skewers in front of her. "You are the same."

Chen Jinnian didn't say anything, but just turned sideways to show her the schoolbag on his back.

"Ah, why are you just finishing school? Isn't there no evening study session today, Friday?"

"What evening self-study? I just finished my exam. I don't know if Pan Shuai is crazy today. The test paper is so boring and long. I haven't finished it even after three hours." Chen Jinnian couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Because no one challenged her, Qiao Yingzi didn't take the physics exam at all, so naturally she didn't know about the extreme torture they suffered tonight.

But it doesn’t matter. By Monday, the whole school will know what happened to these nearly 100 people tonight, and Pan Shuai will become famous because of this battle and become the second most famous person after "Iron Stick Yam" Li Meng.

Chen Jinnian raised the thing in his hand, placed it in front of the other person, and said, "Give me some."

Smelling the mouth-watering aroma, Qiao Yingzi became distant with him, reached out to take a few portions, and followed him towards the community.

"Tell me, what happened? The winter camp incident has been exposed."

"No, but it's even more of a headache. My mom wouldn't know from anywhere. This academic competition will help with independent enrollment. As soon as I got home, she prepared a set of Physics Olympiad questions for me. She wants me to study hard and get a good score so that I can participate in the independent enrollment of Tsinghua University and Beihang University next year."

After Qiao Yingzi finished speaking, she looked a little depressed. She didn't seem like an energetic 18-year-old boy, but more like a 28-year-old exhausted office worker.

"Actually, there's something I've never asked you. Is your desire to attend NTU really just for your dream?"

Chen Jinnian asked while biting the stick, aerospace might really be Qiao Yingzi's dream, but it seems that it was not the dream of Nanjing University from the beginning. At least when she was in the first year of high school, she did not have this idea.

"To be honest with you, I just don't want to stay in Beijing. I don't want to stay in a place where my mother can control me at will. I just happened to know that Nanjing University's astronomy program has the highest index in the country, so I want to go there and start a college life that truly belongs to me."

Qiao Yingzi expressed her true thoughts.

"Yeah, I find it strange too. Harbin Institute of Technology is clearly the most suitable school for you. Not only is it a C9 university, but it's also the eldest of the seven national defense universities. It established my country's first aerospace academy. From the first Dongfanghong patrol to the implementation of the Chang'e program, from Shenzhou to Shenzhou , Harbin Institute of Technology has always been present."

Chen Jinnian tilted his head to look at Qiao Yingzi and continued, "Even Beihang University, which is slightly less comprehensive, has a world-ranked aerospace engineering program. Furthermore, there's Northwestern Polytechnical University, which is on par with Beihang University. Logically, choosing any of these universities would make it easier to realize your space dream than choosing Nanjing University."

Qiao Yingzi glared at him fiercely and said irritably, "I'm a girl from the north, can't I go to the south to have a look? You have to send me to the northeast and northwest to make you happy."

Chen Jinnian smiled awkwardly and said that Xi'an and Harbin were certainly not bad, but compared with Nanjing, the "ancient capital of six dynasties" and the "cultural center of the world", their geographical location and educational resources were still inferior.

What's more, Nanjing is the "spiritual capital" of Taiwan Province. In terms of importance, even Chengdu, the "Chengdu Capital" that is the best in Sichuan, cannot compare to it.

"Of course, when you go to Nanjing to study next year, Yidi and I will come to visit you." Chen Jinnian said quickly

Qiao Yingzi held a hot milk tea in her hand, gave him a look that said, "You're smart!" and said, "Then I'll accept your good words. When you get there, I've already treated you to delicious food."

"Then I'll eat duck then."

"Ah, aren't you tired of our Beijing roast duck yet?"

"That's different. Didn't you hear a word? No duck can swim out of Nanjing alive."

"Really? I have to go back and check it out."

"Hey, you can't drink this cup, it's for Yidi."

"Lululu, how stingy."

The two chatted slowly, eating as they walked back to the community.
