After Becoming the Abused Heroine in a Campus Story - Chapter 92: University

Chapter 92: University

After Zhou Yining and Jiang Xianzhi removed their makeup, Zhou Yining gave Jiang Xianzhi the birthday gift she prepared.

“It’s a coiled bracelet with a little fox on it, look.” Zhou Yining pointed to show Jiang Xianzhi.

Jiang Xianzhi’s eyes brightened slightly, “Cute!”

“As long as you like it.” Zhou Yining kissed the young lady’s forehead gently to coax her.

Jiang Xianzhi put the gift away and prepared to take a shower, but Zhou Yining stood in front of the young lady.

Jiang Xianzhi pushed her lightly, “What? I’m going to shower.”

Zhou Yining pulled her into an embrace smoothly, “Nothing, let’s shower together to save water.”

Jiang Xianzhi wanted to say something, but Zhou Yining kissed her lips, and the young lady was coaxed and tricked into the bathroom by Zhou Yining.

At ten-thirty, Zhou Yining carried Jiang Xianzhi out, and she almost fell asleep in Zhou Yining’s arms.

Having already eaten the meat, Zhou Yining was considerate and didn’t tease the young lady after getting into bed. Jiang Xianzhi nestled in her arms and fell asleep from exhaustion soon after.

The next morning, the two tossed around until past nine before getting up. Jiang Xianzhi now doubted life a bit, wondering where the pure Zhou Zhou went. She felt her Zhou Zhou didn’t want her to get out of bed every day now.

A few days later, Zhou Yining and Jiang Xianzhi needed to fill out their college entrance exam applications. After discussing with family, they decided to choose finance-related majors to help manage the company after graduation.

On the day they received admission results, Jiang Xianzhi’s mood was not great. She and Zhou Yining were admitted to different universities. Although both were in Jing City, Jiang Xianzhi was still unhappy.

Zhou Yining smiled and hugged the young lady to coax her, “Don’t be unhappy. We’re both in Jing City, and the two universities are close. If we don’t want to live on campus, we can rent a place outside.”

Jiang Xianzhi rubbed against Zhou Yining’s arms, still unhappy, “Not being in the same school, I won’t see you often.”

“Be good, I’ll come see you when I don’t have classes, okay?” Zhou Yining kissed Jiang Xianzhi’s lips to coax her.

“I’ll still miss you.” Jiang Xianzhi buried her face in Zhou Yining’s arms, acting spoiled.

“I’ll miss you too, but being in the same city is already great.” Zhou Yining was quite content.

A few days later, the students’ admission notices were mailed to the school one after another. Zhou Yining and Jiang Xianzhi received a call to pick up their admission notices at school.

As soon as they entered, they saw a few students inside, including some familiar faces from Class 19.

“Zhou Jie, congratulations, Qingbei’s finance department, so awesome.”

“Yeah, really awesome.”

“Thanks.” Zhou Yining smiled at them, found her admission notice, and also picked up Jiang Xianzhi’s.

Jiang Xianzhi’s school was Jing City University of Technology, also a very good university.

As the two were about to leave with their notices, Zhang Ye and a few other boys from Class 1 came over.

Zhang Ye saw the admission notice in Zhou Yining’s hand, “Zhou Yining, I also got into Qingbei’s finance department.”

Zhou Yining nodded indifferently, “Hmm, that’s good, but it has nothing to do with me. You don’t need to tell me.”

Jiang Xianzhi glared at Zhang Ye, then held Zhou Yining’s hand, acting spoiled, “Zhou Zhou, let’s go home, I’m a bit tired.”

“Okay.” Zhou Yining smiled gently at Jiang Xianzhi, took her admission notice, and left holding her hand.

Zhang Ye froze in place. He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.

In early July, Zhong Yumeng invited Zhou Yining over for dinner to thank her for tutoring her in math. Jiang Xianzhi went along too.

Zhong Yumeng looked at their intertwined hands and chuckled, “You two hid it well. I only found out you’re together from someone else.”

Zhong Yumeng went abroad for a few weeks after the college entrance exam, so she didn’t attend Jiang Xianzhi’s birthday party, but she had her parents send a gift.

Jiang Xianzhi shook their joined hands, “That’s right, Zhou Zhou is mine alone.”

Zhong Yumeng pouted, “Tch, you two are so mushy now. Come on, sit down. Fresh seafood was airlifted this morning, specially prepared for Teacher Xiao Zhou.”

Jiang Xianzhi pinched Zhou Yining’s palm and hummed softly twice.

Zhou Yining quickly smiled at her to prevent the little fox from getting jealous.

Zhou Yining changed the topic and asked, “How were your results?”

“Do I even need to say? My college entrance exam and art exam scores were first at Jing City Film Academy this year. No competition at all.” Zhong Yumeng said happily.

Zhou Yining laughed, “Alright, don’t forget us when you become a big star.”

“How could I?”

They talked and laughed, and soon the seafood on the table was mostly eaten.

After leaving Zhong Yumeng’s house, Zhou Yining and Jiang Xianzhi strolled around the neighborhood for a while before going home.

In the next month, Zhou Yining wrote 200,000 words of a novel, earning about 40,000 yuan. In short, her tuition and living expenses for the next few years were covered.

In August, Jiang Yueyi took Jiang Xianzhi and Zhou Yining to Jing City. Their family had several properties in Jing City, including a large apartment near the university town. Jiang Yueyi came to Jing City for a meeting and brought the two younger sisters to settle in.

The apartment was over 200 square meters, spacious enough for Zhou Yining and Jiang Xianzhi. There were also several cars in the underground parking lot of the complex. After getting their driver’s licenses, Zhou Yining and Jiang Xianzhi could drive to school conveniently.

Before leaving, Jiang Yueyi enrolled them in driving school, so Zhou Yining and Jiang Xianzhi started practicing driving.

In early September, both universities started. Zhou Yining paid her tuition, got her student phone card and meal card, and went to the classroom to wait for the class meeting. Since she didn’t need to live on campus, she didn’t pay for accommodation.

Her class wasn’t large, with only about thirty people. She ran into a familiar face—Zhang Ye was in her class.

Seeing no one was beside Zhou Yining, Zhang Ye sat next to her.

Zhou Yining glanced at him with disdain and moved one seat away, leaving a space between them.

Zhang Ye said awkwardly, “What a coincidence, I didn’t expect us to be in the same class.”

“Doesn’t matter. We’re here to study. It’s the same in any class.” Zhou Yining said.

“By the way, are you living on campus or renting outside?” Zhang Ye continued to make small talk.

“I don’t need to rent. Zhizhi’s family has several properties in Jing City. I live with her.” Zhou Yining said directly.

Zhang Ye pursed his lips, couldn’t hold back, and said, “Did you and Jiang Xianzhi get together because I rejected you both, and you were stimulated?”

“What? Are you sick? Don’t you have a mirror or urine? Pee and look at yourself, you arrogant guy.” Zhou Yining spoke loudly, not caring about Zhang Ye’s feelings.

The other students in the class were already paying attention to them. They had heard that the finance department’s freshman class had two stunning students, a guy and a girl, both in their class. Many had been sneaking glances since they entered, but no one expected the two to start arguing.

Zhang Ye’s face turned red from Zhou Yining’s retort. Unconvinced, he said, “What? You wrote me a love letter.”

“You know it was in the past. People move forward, not dwell on the past. I was blind before, now I’m cured. What’s wrong with that?” Zhou Yining never used dirty words when clapping back.

Zhang Ye felt like he was having a heart attack, “Your mouth is so sharp.”

“It’s alright. I’m usually like this with clueless arrogant guys.”

Zhang Ye couldn’t outtalk Zhou Yining and was almost shutting down. Luckily, the counselor arrived, asking the boys to get books. After distributing them, there was nothing else for the day.

Zhou Yining took a thick stack of books and prepared to leave. A boy came over eagerly, “Hey, Zhou Yining, let me help carry those. I’m heading back to the dorm too.”

Zhou Yining glanced at him, “No need, I don’t live on campus.”

The boy didn’t give up and chased after her, “Zhou, can I get your contact info? In case something comes up, I can reach you.”

Zhou Yining’s face grew cold, “No need. We’re just classmates, nothing to contact about. Plus, I have a girlfriend. I’m not interested in guys.”

Zhou Yining’s voice was just loud enough for the class to hear. She left after speaking, ignoring their shocked expressions.

That day, a viral post appeared on their school’s forum.

[Shocking, the new finance department beauty has a girlfriend!]

The comments below skyrocketed. Many had secretly taken photos of Zhou Yining when she paid tuition and got her phone card. She was widely considered the best-looking freshman. Once news about her spread, the post gained traction immediately.

[My friend is in Zhou Yining’s class. She said herself she’s not interested in guys and has a girlfriend.]

[What? I’m already heartbroken before it started.]

[She has a girlfriend? So cool, beautiful girls should be with beautiful girls!]

[This afternoon, the new finance guy, Zhang Ye, got scolded by Zhou Yining.]

[What happened? (eating melon jpg)]

[Seems like Zhang Ye has a thing for Zhou Yining. She told him to pee and look in a mirror. I’m dying laughing.]

[Wow, the new department beauty is so interesting. She’s great at clapping back.]

Zhou Yining didn’t know she had gone viral. After joining the class group chat, she returned home.

Zhou Yining called Jiang Xianzhi, and the call connected quickly, “How’s it going over there? I’m done here.”

Jiang Xianzhi whined, “The counselor hasn’t come yet. We’re all waiting here. It’ll probably take a while.”

“Then I’ll come find you.” Zhou Yining said with a smile.

“Great.” Jiang Xianzhi got excited hearing she was coming.

Zhou Yining took a cab to Jiang Xianzhi’s school. She messaged Jiang Xianzhi, who said they were in a class meeting.

Zhou Yining wandered around Jing City University of Technology’s campus. Some guys at the admissions area saw Zhou Yining’s unfamiliar face and beauty, thinking she was a new student. A few pushed each other and approached her.

“Junior, are you here to register? Need any help?”

“Yeah, we can help carry your luggage.”

Zhou Yining stepped back, “No need. I’m here to wait for my girlfriend to finish class.”

“What? Girlfriend?” The guys’ brains froze.

Because of Zhou Yining’s words, their enthusiasm faded quickly, and they left soon after.

Zhou Yining felt very satisfied with this straightforward approach. It saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.
