Chapter 23 A strange feeling of closeness
On the way to the university, Xie Feng and Xie Yao stopped to buy their breakfast.
After walking for about 15 minutes, the entrance to Shanghai University was in sight of both of them. As they approached, Xie Feng immediately saw a young woman standing at the entrance to the university.
Although she appeared to be alone, Xie Feng noticed that three people in civilian clothes were watching the girl. The middle-aged man who was reading the newspaper on the street in front, the woman who was talking on the phone seemingly agitated, and a guy who appeared to be a motorcycle gang member.
They all moved at the same time when they saw Xie Feng and Xie Yao getting closer and closer to the girl standing in the doorway. Xie Feng made a strange hand signal and the 3 people relaxed noticeably and went back to their things.
Xie Yao shook her head slightly at this and spoke softly to Xie Feng:
"Uncle Gu really cares a lot about his daughter."
Xie Feng actually shook his head slightly and responded: "It's not that simple, Yao'er. Elder Gu has a lot of power and with power, enemies are inevitable. To move forward, you often have no choice but to step on someone else; that's the way of the world, so it is natural for Elder Gu to care for his daughter at least as much."
Xie Yao had a complicated look on her face when she heard the words of Xie Feng. Just when she wanted to continue talking, she realized that they had arrived in front of the young woman.
Xie Feng was the first to speak: "Hello, I am Xie Feng. You are Gu Qianxue, daughter of Uncle Gu?"
The young woman who had her face down at all times finally looked up and smiled politely:
"You are my distant cousin, right? I am Gu Qianxue. My father told me that a distant cousin on my mother's side was studying in Shanghai so, although I refused at first because I didn't want to be a bother to you, I finally had no choice but to accept my father's agreement. I am sorry to be a burden to you."
Xie Feng narrowed his eyes and, as she spoke, he watched the young woman in front of him.
Skin white as snow, lips red as blood, long hair black as night and a curvaceous body. No doubt she was a beauty that was not lost by even a hair compared to Xie Yao. However, what caught Xie Feng's attention were her eyes.
From the moment Gu Qianxue looked up until she finished speaking, her eyes always remained closed.
As if she knew what Xie Feng was thinking, Gu Qianxue continued to speak with a smile:
"Don't worry about my eyes, I've actually been blind since birth so I don't feel too much sadness about a world I don't know."
After a pause she continued:
"Although I don't deny that I would like to see the light someday, I am not unhappy either; I know that in the world many babies and children die of hunger every day. Losing my sight is nothing in comparison."
When Xie Yao heard that Gu Qianxue is actually blind from birth she could not help but be moved, so she took her hand gently and said politely:
"I am Xie Yao, Uncle Gu told you about me? We will be living together under the same roof, let's get along!"
Gu Qianxue gently squeezed Xie Yao's hand and responded enthusiastically:
"My father told me a lot about you, he always talks about how kind you are. I hope I can be your friend."
Xie Yao pulled the hand of Gu Qianxue and began to walk into the university courtyard as they chatted happily and got to know each other.
Meanwhile, Xie Feng followed them a few steps behind while he thought about the words of Gu Qianxue. She was deprived of light from the moment she was born, she does not know how her parents or herself look. She also does not know something as simple as the meaning of the color blue, red or white.
However, Gu Qianxue has no hatred for any God.
Gu Qianxue is even happy to enjoy something as normal as having 3 main foods a day.
Xie Feng closed his eyes for a second and whispered under his breath:
"What a kind and innocent girl. Really, as the old Gu said: she does not know how cruel people are."
Xie Yao turned her head slightly and asked: "Big brother Xie Feng, did you say something?"
Xie Feng shook his head and smiled slightly, catching up with the two girls and listening to their conversation; he also made a comment or two from time to time.
As the three chatted, Xie Feng learned that Gu Qianxue was actually the top scorer in CET. He also learned that Gu Qianxue decided to enroll in classes related to communication and marketing.
Xie Feng's impression of Gu Qianxue in these minutes could be described as follows:
A beautiful young woman with an aura of nobility, extremely innocent and kind.
However, there was something else that Xie Feng could not describe in words. He was sure that it was the first time in his life that he had seen Gu Qianxue, but somehow he felt close to her.
It wasn't about romantic closeness or anything like that. It was a strange feeling of affinity that Xie Feng could not understand himself.
***
Two high-level beauties like Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue would naturally become the center of attention wherever they went. Therefore, the eyes of 90% of the men who saw them were focused on the two of them, like bees attracted by honey
Some of the bravest even tried to start a conversation, but Xie Yao ignored them all.
Gu Qianxue always responded with a smile to everyone, earning the embarrassed blush of some perverts when they realized that they were having nefarious thoughts about such an innocent girl.
Xie Feng could not help but smile bitterly at the sight. But what can he do? It's not like he'll go crazy just because a man tries to chat with a girl close to him. Otherwise, wouldn't he have to kill everyone?
After walking for several minutes, the trio finally arrived at the registration office. After 20 minutes of paperwork, Gu Qianxue's documents as a new student were successfully processed, making her a freshman at Shanghai University.
Xie Feng and Xie Yao accompanied Gu Qianxue to the building where the communication and marketing classes were held, agreeing to meet her again for lunch.
After saying goodbye, Xie Yao went to the building for the history students. Xie Yao was always a history lover and under the strong insistence of Xie Feng, she finally decided to learn what she likes.
Meanwhile, Xie Feng went to the building for the students of economy and business administration.
Xie Feng walked for more than 10 minutes before finally arriving at his classroom, where there were already several students sitting or standing around chatting.
The hottest topic was, of course, Samsara Online.
Xie Feng had only just entered the door when a loud voice with a northern accent called out to him from the back of the classroom:
"Hey, Xie Feng. This way!"
Xie Feng looked in the direction of the voice and smiled as he saw 3 people greeting him. He didn't hesitate and walked over to the three young men.
Xie Feng gave himself a brief hug with the three of them and looked at the young man who had just spoken while mumbling:
"I say, second brother, aren't you getting darker as time goes by? Where did you spend your vacation?"
Hu Chen laughed aloud and patted his chest:
"The old man in my family decided that we would all go to Hawaii on vacation, so here I am."
Another young man with long hair, Yue Kai sighed with some regret in his tone: "old Hu is lucky, I for one had to help with the family business and could not go out to chase hot girls."
Xiao Luo who was still silent almost choked on the water he was drinking and started coughing fiercely. Xie Feng gave him a pat on the back and said:
"Hey hey, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Luo didn't answer Xie Feng and gave Yue Kai a strange look and he said in a low voice:
"With that look of yours you might as well go chasing guys and you're sure to succeed."
Yue Kai stood up and said out loud: "Hey, do you want to fight me or what?"
Hu Chen started laughing out loud and hitting the table, while Xie Feng looked at his only three friends and shook his head with a smile that seemed to be unsure whether to laugh or cry.
