Chapter 7: Freshman Enrollment

At exactly 8:00 AM, Chu Zifeng got off the bus at the Yanjing City long-distance bus station. After a day's journey, Chu Zifeng finally arrived in the big city. Compared to the city where he had grown up, this place was like heaven and earth. Even a mere bus station was built luxuriously, and every corner was spotlessly clean.

Today was the last day for new students to report to Yanjing University. Chu Zifeng did not want to make a bad impression on his teachers by being late on his first day of college, so he hailed a taxi and headed straight for Yanjing University.

At the entrance of Yanjing University, as Chu Zifeng got out of the car, he saw the grand and prestigious university for the first time, with students coming and going, and many luxury cars parked nearby.

"Finally here. For the next four years, I will be living here."

Chu Zifeng was overjoyed. He was finally about to step into the gates of university. But would the road ahead be as simple as he imagined, living in Yanjing University for four years? Chu Zifeng could never have imagined that when he arrived at the university gates, a brand new path and a brand new life were waiting for him ahead.

Screech...

The sound of brakes rang out. Chu Zifeng saw a black Mercedes-Benz stop behind him. A young man dressed in designer clothes got out of the car, closed the door, and walked toward the school gate without carrying anything.

"Xiaobai, remember, don't cause trouble for your father. Study hard, or you'll regret it."

A middle-aged, fat man said from the car.

"Dad, you can go back with peace of mind. This isn't Hangzhou, it's not my territory, and I won't be in charge. I've even changed into a low-profile outfit. I'll definitely keep a low profile."

The young man was very arrogant. His designer clothes alone cost tens of thousands, yet he called them low-profile!

"Alright, I get it. I'll go first."

"Go, go. Mom is waiting at the hotel. Don't worry about me."

"What kind of talk is that? Who else will take care of you if not your parents?"

The young man ignored his father and walked directly toward the school gate.

"Hey, handsome... I'm talking to you."

Chu Zifeng was just about to step into the school gate when he was called by the young man behind him.

Seeing no one else stop as they came and went, Chu Zifeng asked the young man who had approached him, "Are you talking to me?"

The young man smiled, "Yes, I'm talking to you. I'm asking you, are you a freshman?"

"Yes."

"Which department?"

"Economics."

"Great, I'm also in the Economics department. I can tell you're from the countryside... How about you become my little brother from now on? I'll protect you in Yanjing University."

Chu Zifeng looked the young man up and down, smiled, but said nothing.

"Hey, I'm asking you, do you look down on me? Don't judge me by my appearance. I'm actually a young master from a wealthy family."

When the young man said this, his voice was particularly loud, and everyone at the school gate heard it. But their evaluation of him was just three words: "Psychotic."

"Haha, I can tell, I can tell." Chu Zifeng laughed.

"My name is Qi Bai. What's yours?"

"Chu Zifeng."

"Alright, from now on, I'm your big brother, Chu Zifeng. If anyone bullies you, just mention my name."

"But you're also a freshman!"

"Don't worry. Wherever I go, I'll be famous within ten days. Just wait and see. After enrollment, I'll start from the first year and fight my way up to the highest grade, carving out a place for myself."

Qi Bai didn't care about the gazes of the people around him. He put his hand on Chu Zifeng's shoulder and walked into the school.

At this moment, the evaluation of Qi Bai by the people around him was no longer "psychotic" but "idiot."

Chu Zifeng, feeling uncomfortable with Qi Bai's hand on his shoulder, arrived at the freshman enrollment office. There was a female teacher and two female students there. Since today was the last day for freshmen to report, there weren't many people. Chu Zifeng and Qi Bai only waited a minute before they submitted their admission notices, ID card copies, and tuition fees. They were also assigned to the same dormitory room.

Yanjing University had three dormitory buildings. Chu Zifeng and Qi Bai went to the fifth floor of the third building, to the middle room.

The dormitory door was open, indicating that students had already arrived.

"Damn, what a lousy place. It's not fit for human habitation. If I hadn't promised my dad, I would have bought an apartment outside!"

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Qi Bai started complaining, thinking the place was not suitable for him.

However, the two students in the dormitory didn't pay much attention. They greeted Chu Zifeng and Qi Bai immediately.

"Hello, I'm Ding Yun, a freshman in the Economics department." A boy in a white shirt with glasses said.

"Hello, I'm Zhong Ming, also a freshman in the Economics department." A boy in black, who was only 1.5 meters tall, said.

Well, it turned out that all the students in this dormitory were from the same department, and thus the same class.

Chu Zifeng smiled, "Hello, I'm Chu Zifeng, and I'm in the same class as you. We'll be classmates from now on."

"I said, little brother, why are you being so formal? Since we're in the same dormitory, I'll treat you all to a good meal tonight."

Ding Yun asked, "Chu Zifeng, is he your big brother?"

"No..."

Before Chu Zifeng could finish, Qi Bai said, "Hello, he's fine, I'm fine. I'm Qi Bai, Chu Zifeng's big brother in spirit, and I will be your big brother too. I will also be the new leader of Yanjing University. You two should call me big brother from now on."

Zhong Ming asked, "Qi Bai, are you in the underworld?"

"You're the one in the underworld. I'm telling you, I'm a young master from a wealthy family. The underworld is nothing. Don't worry, following me will be the right choice. I won't let you down."

Ding Yun laughed, "Then I'll be the second."

Zhong Ming said, "Then I'll be the third."

The three of them looked at Chu Zifeng and said in unison, "Then you'll be the fourth!"

Chu Zifeng smiled bitterly, "Alright, fourth is fine."

In fact, Chu Zifeng was thinking, Qi Bai was too arrogant. He would surely suffer in the future. Is this how all rich kids behave?
