Chapter 350: New Student Registration (5000 words for monthly ticket!)

The registration period for new students at Shenzhou University was on September 3rd and 4th. Despite this, Mei Youyuan, who was part of the “Big Three,” overslept. By the time Mei Fang woke up, his mother had already called several times.

Mei Fang picked up his phone drowsily, just as it lit up.

“Why did you oversleep? I called all three of you so many times, and no one answered. Did you stay out too late last night?”

“Registration is open all day… Why are you rushing me…?”

“You should go early; it would be more appropriate. Otherwise, people might say that you’re starting to act like you don’t care after becoming a boss.”

“I know, I’ll remember. Don’t worry so much.”

No matter how much Mei Fang achieved outside, his mother, Xiang Xiaoxia, always seemed a bit uneasy. While Mei Fang was dealing with his mother’s incessant calls, Xia Yuan, who was next to him, yawned and stretched before sitting up.

“Ah Fang… What time is it—uh—”

Xia Yuan’s question was cut off by Mei Fang covering her mouth.

“Who’s talking over there? Yuan Yuan?”

“Aa—”

Caught in the act, Mei Fang quickly responded, “Yeah… She just asked what time it is. We need to get up quickly!”

“Oh… Alright, hurry up then.”

After hanging up, Mei Fang sighed in relief. Lin Youxi had just woken up and was sitting beside him, patting his back while he talked on the phone.

Xia Yuan pulled away from Mei Fang’s hand, looking somewhat guilty. “Is that Mother Xiang? Will she find out about what happened on your bed? Youxi only broke up with you yesterday, she shouldn’t know… Wouldn’t that make me seem like the other woman to Mother Xiang?”

“No, I told Uncle Mei about it before. Mother should have known we broke up.”

Lin Youxi patted Xia Yuan’s shoulder. “It’s fine. You were Ah Fang’s first love. Even if Mother finds out, it’s just a case of old flames rekindling.”

“What do you mean it’s fine! I slept on Ah Fang’s bed!”

Meanwhile, Xiang Xiaoxia slowly hung up the phone and sat呆滞地坐在沙发上。

Today, Meilijun, who was on leave because he broke Xia Ya’s Riemann-Russell main battle tank, was being chased by her. Suddenly, Xiang Xiaoxia shouted to stop them, scaring both father and daughter, who immediately stood at attention.

“Xia Ya, go play. I need to talk to your dad.”

“Okay…”

Xia Ya stuck out her tongue at her father and ran upstairs, hiding at the staircase to observe her parents.

Meilijun sat nervously next to his wife. Xiang Xiaoxia sighed deeply before saying, “Did you tell me that Youxi planned to break up with our son a month ago?”

“Yeah… A month ago… Why?”

“He seems to be living with Yuanyuan now.”

Meilijun scratched his head. “They were already living together, right?”

Xiang Xiaoxia pinched Meilijun hard, making him scream in pain.

“You idiot, when I say ‘living together,’ I mean they’re sleeping in the same bed.”

“Really? Really?”

Meilijun smiled in relief. “Sure, this kid… Though it feels inevitable, he’s got his father’s spirit.”

“You mean his father also has two women?”

“No, no! How could I dare!”

Meilijun immediately put his hands up in surrender. “I only have my wife in my heart.”

“But since he broke up with Youxi and is back with Yuanyuan, isn’t that okay?”

“The problem is… If he broke up with Youxi, but they still live together, they can do whatever they want. But they haven’t broken up, right? I tried calling Youxi today, but no one answered—”

“Hmm…”

Meilijun and Xiang Xiaoxia looked at each other. As mature adults, they naturally guessed the current situation, but neither wanted to speak their thoughts aloud.

Finally, Mei Ya, who had been eagerly eavesdropping, interrupted:

“Let me say! Brother might be with Yuanyuan and Youxi together—”

“Go away! What are you listening for! Go do your homework!”

“Don’t hit me! I’ll go, I’ll go!”

Mei Ya dashed back to her room upstairs. After Xiang Xiaoxia was held back by Meilijun, the two sat on the sofa, pondering.

“…”

“…”

“Wife, I think you shouldn’t worry too much. Let the young ones be. They will figure it out themselves.”

“How can we let them be? If that little rascal really does this, how will we explain it to their parents? In this day and age, who wants their daughter to share a husband with someone else? No matter how rich he is, he can’t do such disgraceful things.”

“If they didn’t know each other, it would be different. Yuanyuan’s family and Youxi’s family have been acquainted for years without any conflicts—”

Just as Meilijun was complaining, Xiang Xiaoxia pinched his thigh hard: “You shameless deadbeat, your son is shameless because of you? Do you really support him having two women?”

“Ahh, ouch, ouch, ouch… I know it’s wrong, but what should I do? You either don’t want Youxi as a daughter-in-law or don’t want Yuanyuan. I see you like Youxi more than Yuanyuan. Just let our son not get entangled with Yuanyuan!”

As Meilijun reached for his phone to call, Xiang Xiaoxia grabbed his ear. “Who said I like Youxi more? They both hold the same place in my heart! Don’t meddle unnecessarily!”

While Meilijun endured his wife’s beating, the “Big Three” prepared to go for registration.

“Should we wear casual clothes today? It’s relatively youthful and not too eye-catching.”

Xia Yuan scratched his head. “Considering we’re big names in Shenzhou City, going to school might attract a lot of attention, making it impossible to register properly.”

“I’m not sure how it will be… In high school, it wasn’t that noticeable, no one chased us for autographs.”

“In high school, studies come first, but university is different…”

Lin Youxi handed Xia Yuan a pair of sunglasses. “Me and Ah Fang are fine, but you should wear these. Your recognition factor is different from others.”

“Wouldn’t that make me stand out even more?”

Xia Yuan nodded and bid farewell to Mei Fang and Lin Youxi. “I’ll go first.”

“Bye.”

Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan waved, then Lin Youxi turned to look at Mei Fang with a tilted head. “I’ll go register first.”

“Our departments are next to each other, wouldn’t it be better to go together?”

“We’re exes now, we shouldn’t appear too close. You go first.”

“Don’t keep bringing this up… It’s a bit depressing.”

“You’re really good at playing along with me…”

“I’m not acting, I’m genuinely sad.”

Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang’s shoulder. “This is a process of rebuilding love. Take it slow.”

Mei Fang went to queue for the game design department. The department was visibly male-dominated, with few girls in line. Mei Fang wore casual clothes, blending in without standing out. He heard some boys behind him whispering:

“Hey, did you hear? This year’s freshmen include three well-known figures.”

“You mean the C-Station trio? Really?!”

“Will they actually come to register? If I were them, I wouldn’t bother.”

“Regardless, they still need a degree.”

Mei Fang listened calmly to the gossip about himself. A boy behind him suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

“Hey, buddy… Where are you from?”

“I’m from Chu Bei, where are you from?”

“I’m from Yue Dong. Can you tell from my accent? Haha…”

“It sounds a bit like Gangcheng…”

Mei Fang smiled. The boy introduced himself. “I’m Li Guidong, what’s your name?”

“Mei Fang.”

“Wow, you have the same name as the C-Station leader!”

“Yeah.”

Li Guidong began examining Mei Fang. “You look quite similar to him. Could you be the same person?”

Mei Fang tilted his head. “How similar do you think?”

“At least sixty to seventy percent. But I feel he’s not as handsome as you.”

“They beautified him on the posters. How could I be more handsome than him?”

“I feel his style is too childish, like the Persona series. It’s cool for anime characters, but out of place in real life.”

“How do you recognize it as Persona style? There’s nothing similar in the outfits.”

“The outfit design is unmistakable. I’m a big fan of the Persona series, I won’t mistake it.”

In the era before P5 became popular, Mei Fang’s style was considered avant-garde. Li Guidong could instantly identify his inspiration, showing impressive gaming experience.

“Next, student, please submit your graduation certificate and admission letter.”

A gentle-looking senior greeted Mei Fang. She was one of the topics of discussion among the queueing boys. After receiving Mei Fang’s documents, she widened her eyes in disbelief.

“You’re Mei Fang?”

“Yes, I am.”

“You… You…”

The seniors and students couldn’t help but scrutinize Mei Fang. Some even checked their phones.

This attention made Mei Fang feel embarrassed.

“That’s me, no need to check.”

“You’re the leader?!”

Seniors and students, including Li Guidong peering over Mei Fang’s shoulder, exclaimed. They stared at him like monkeys, some even taking photos.

Another senior ran over, shouting, “You won’t believe it! Lin Youxi is here too! That’s the lady from C-Station…”

The senior proudly showed her friend. “Look, we have the real leader here.”

“Ah, that explains the commotion. Our new student is quite a big deal…”

A striking red-haired woman immediately drew attention.

The recruitment team greeted her.

“Jiang Hui.”

“President Jiang.”

Jiang Hui nodded to the students and looked at Mei Fang. “Wow, you’re smaller than in the poster… Anyway, I’m Jiang Peihuan, president of the Game Design Department. Nice to meet you, Mei Fang.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Mei Fang reciprocated.

Jiang Peihuan laughed. “I can’t accept that title, you’re the boss.”

“As a student, I prefer not to dwell on that.”

“Fine, I’ll call you classmate.”

“Sure.”

She handed Mei Fang the documents. Mei Fang thanked her quietly. Jiang Peihuan offered, “Since you don’t have luggage, you’re probably not staying on campus. Do you want me to show you around?”

“Thanks, but no need. I have other plans.”

“Oh, alright. Since you’re one of the Big Three… Enjoy your college life. Can I get your contact?”

“Sure.”

Mei Fang exchanged contacts with Jiang Peihuan and waited at a nearby booth for Lin Youxi to finish her forms.

Unlike Mei Fang’s lively scene, Lin Youxi, despite being recognized, remained aloof. People dared not approach her, let alone take photos.

Lin Youxi approached Mei Fang and gently tapped his shoulder. Mei Fang asked, “How was the registration?”

“Just a formality. What about you? Enjoying yourself? A one-meter-seven redhead came to chat with you right away.”

Lin Youxi spoke with a calm expression. Mei Fang smiled and shook his head.

“I didn’t expect you to notice… College students aren’t as reserved or weak as high schoolers. There are plenty of people trying to poach. You have to be sharp. Looks like I’ll have to collect more public goods.”

“Isn’t that what you do every day…”

“Especially with your stamina.”

Lin Youxi poked Mei Fang’s waist, causing him to shiver.

“Not much to say… Let’s find Yuan Yuan?”

Xia Yuan, due to her celebrity status, caused a bigger stir at the music department. When Mei Fang and Lin Youxi arrived, Xia Yuan was happily signing autographs and taking pictures with fellow students.

Lin Youxi used her strong presence to rescue Xia Yuan from the crowd.

“I regret coming out of retirement… Ugh…”

Xia Yuan, whose smile was strained, leaned on Lin Youxi, troubled by her fame.
