1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Soon, they saw a crowd gathered not far away, which must be the place for registration.

Li Weiguo gently placed the three packages in his hands on the ground, raised his head and politely asked a passing classmate: "Excuse me, classmate, where do I report to the Department of Mechanical Engineering?"

The student who was pulled over was stunned when he saw Li Weiguo, then pointed to the second to last table and said, "Students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering register over there!"

"Okay, thank you classmate!"

After receiving detailed instructions, he successfully found the place where he was to report. When he turned around, he found that the girl behind him had followed him.

"Classmate, I'm from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Where are you going?" Li Weiguo couldn't help but ask.

The girl's eyes suddenly opened wide, full of surprise and disbelief, and her voice trembled slightly: "You are also from the Department of Mechanical Engineering? Me too!"

Li Weiguo only felt a buzzing sound in his head and his heart beat violently several times.

He was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, and an indescribable strange feeling surged into his heart, as if a warm current was flowing slowly in his heart.

The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, revealing a faint smile, and he felt a little happy in his heart.

I didn't expect that this beautiful girl like a spring flower was from the same department as me.

He said nothing more, bent down, picked up the three pieces of luggage, and walked towards the sign-in place, while the girl followed him quietly.

Li Weiguo slowed down his pace and tried his best to let the girl next to him catch up. The two of them slowly came to the registration place of the Mechanical Engineering Department.

A group of classmates who had also come to register had gathered there. They were either chatting excitedly or looking around curiously.

From time to time, there were exclamations from the crowd. It turned out that some classmates were sharing the interesting things that happened during their journey, which caused laughter from others.

When it was Li Weiguo and Lin Wanqing's turn, Li Weiguo saw clearly that the students in charge of registration were a boy and a girl.

The boy looked calm and capable. He was wearing a neat and straight Zhongshan suit that had been washed to a bleached surface, and a pair of glasses. He looked very elegant.

The girl was dressed in a very retro outfit, with a light blue cotton top and two pigtails.

Li Weiguo stepped forward, neither humble nor arrogant, with a smile on his face, and said politely: "Hello, classmate. My name is Li Weiguo, and I am here to report."

When Zhang Wenshu heard the name, he was obviously stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Then he raised his head curiously and looked at Li Weiguo carefully.

He heard from his teachers that Li Weiguo had excellent grades when he was admitted to the University of Science and Technology. He stood out among many freshmen and had long been regarded by teachers as a promising young person with unlimited potential.

Originally in his imagination, Li Weiguo, who could achieve such great results, should look like a weak scholar.

But the man in front of him was tall and sturdy, with a calm and resolute temperament. Although he was dressed simply, he exuded a unique charm. His deep and bright eyes seemed to contain endless wisdom and power, which was completely different from his preconceived impression. This huge contrast made him unable to recover for a while.

Huo Rong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but look sideways when she heard Li Weiguo call out his name.

So much so that when Lin Wanqing started to introduce herself, Huo Rong was distracted. After she came to her senses, she apologetically asked Lin Wanqing to say it again.

Lin Wanqing said softly: "Classmate, my name is Lin Wanqing, I am here to report."

Her voice is as melodious as a nightingale, clear and pleasant.

This time, the boys around couldn't help but glance sideways, attracted by this girl with unique temperament and exquisite dress.

Among the classmates who were dressed simply, Lin Wanqing stood out like a beautiful flower blooming in spring.

Zhang Wenshu was looking at Li Weiguo with a look of inquiry and curiosity, and said, "So you are Li Weiguo. I have heard of your name for a long time. Now that I see you, you are quite different from what I imagined."

Li Weiguo paused while registering, then smiled modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, classmate. I am the one who disappointed you."

Zhang Wenshu smiled awkwardly and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, it's just that your temperament is very unique and impressive. I heard that your entrance exam results were among the best, so you must have worked hard."

Li Weiguo followed up the topic and said, "It's not easy for everyone. I feel honored to be able to study here."

At this time, Huo Rong also joined the conversation: "Your grades are the best among the freshmen. You will definitely make great achievements in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the future."

Li Weiguo said hurriedly: "Thank you for your praise, classmate. I will continue to work hard."

After a brief exchange of words, Li Weiguo learned that he was assigned to Class 3 of the freshman year of the Mechanical Engineering Department, and his dormitory was Room 2, Building 305.

After registering, Lin Wanqing was pleasantly surprised to find that she was also in Class 3 of the freshman year and her dormitory was Room 3, Building 208.

The two of them were unexpectedly assigned to the same class, and this wonderful fate made them smile at each other.

At this time, Huo Rong saw Li Weiguo carrying three large packages, and said with good intentions: "You are carrying so many packages, how about I find a classmate to help you?"

The classmate next to him also joked: "Yes, our luggage has been sent back, we can help."

Li Weiguo shook his head and refused firmly: "Thank you, classmate, no need, I can do it myself."

Although his tone was gentle, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Huo Rong originally thought that Li Weiguo would gladly accept her proposal. After all, in her opinion, her initiative to help was a good intention, and she had always considered herself to be a popular girl in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and was rarely rejected.

Being rejected at this moment, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, but in front of everyone, she could only pretend to be calm and force a smile.

Lin Wanqing stood aside, keenly aware of the admiring looks from the male classmates around her and the slightly scrutinizing glances from the female classmates. This made her feel uncomfortable all over, as if she had become an alien, and she just wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible.

Li Weiguo noticed that Lin Wanqing frowned slightly, so he suggested softly: "Lin Wanqing, let me take you there."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, a feeling of gratitude welling up in her heart.

On the way to the girls' dormitory, Lin Wanqing said softly: "It's really thanks to you today, otherwise I don't know what to do."

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Don't say that. We are all classmates and it is only natural for us to help each other. Your parents must be worried about you coming here from Shanghai alone, right?"

Lin Wanqing sighed: "Yes, they wanted to come with me, but they couldn't leave because of work. But they also believe that I can take care of myself."

Li Weiguo encouraged him: "It's already remarkable that you can come here from Shanghai alone. If you have any difficulties in the future, just let me know."

Arriving at the entrance of the girls' dormitory, Li Weiguo put down his luggage, looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "Can I help you carry your luggage up?"

Lin Wanqing shook her head and said gratefully: "No, I can do it myself. Thank you for today, Li Weiguo."

There was a faint smile on her face, but there was still a hint of shyness and uneasiness in her eyes.

Li Weiguo saw her persistence, so he stopped forcing her and said generously: "Well, you should have a good rest. You can come to me if you encounter difficulties in the future."

Lin Wanqing responded softly, turned and walked into the dormitory building.
