Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

She did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that. She had planned to take Hong Ke and Xiao An for a walk after dinner, but they both indicated they were not free. After dinner, the five went back to the lab together.

Jiang Yao had a busier schedule than Lu Yuqing. Therefore, she returned to school in the afternoon.

Wen Xuehui, Lin Qiaoyu, and the rest must have gone to class because there was no one in the dormitory when she returned. Fortunately, she had her keys with her.

However, not long after she had finished packing, the voices of Wen Xuehui and Lin Qiaoyu could be heard from the corridor. The girls were excited when they stepped in and spotted Jiang Yao seated on her bed, reading.

“I thought only Chen Siyang had returned to the dormitory! I didn’t anticipate Jiang Yao to return too!” Lin Qiaoyu was the first person to respond. She dashed over to Jiang Yao’s side. The girl’s eyes sparkled with delight. “Did you come back to take the exam?”

“My father told me that you still have a few days to take the exam. I was expecting you to return in a few days.” Wen Xuehui threw the book in Jiang Yao’s hands away and said, “I don’t need to read this for now. Let me look at you!”

“Oh, you are about to take your final examinations as well. Are you here to take advantage of my intelligence?” Jiang Yao rose and strolled around the room, boldly embracing Wen Xuehui’s invitation to become the smart girl.

“You have finally returned! The other dormitories are full! It’s not the same without you and Xiaoxia. There are only four of us in our dorm. We feel so lonely here.” Li Yi groaned repeatedly. “However, when the semester begins in the fall, our dorms will have one fewer resident. Our dorms will be even more desolate when that day comes. I wonder whether we can get two additional students to move in.”

“Who’s leaving?”

Jiang Yao gazed at her roommates, perplexed. Did one of them plan to drop out?

That should not be the case. No one would bail in the middle of the term.

“Xuehui will travel abroad in August. This year, our school will begin collaborating with overseas universities. As exchange students, two to four students from each department will attend universities overseas. It is an excellent opportunity to travel abroad and participate in exchange studies. It is truly good that Xuehui is able to go,” Lin Qiaoyu said.

The criteria to be an exchange student was not something that everyone could have. First, one had to have good grades, and then one’s family had to be financially secure.

Even though schools in other nations did not collect tuition or accommodation fees, one’s personal consumption of clothes and food required a significant amount of money.

That sum of money was beyond the means of the average family.

“Have you figured out which school it is?” Jiang Yao turned to face Wen Xuehui. Jiang Yao remembered the exchange student program. However, Wen Xuehui was not on the list of exchange students back then because of her personal relationship. Back then, Wen Xuehui was also unwilling to leave the school.

Chancellor Wen did not have great ambitions for Wen Xuehui, his daughter, so he did not force Wen Xuehui to go. At that moment, he must have been happy about that.

Wen Xuehui nodded and mentioned the school to Jiang Yao.. “I will be there in early August. I will send you a postcard when I get there!”
