Chapter 104 - First Day of College

“Did you see how they were rendered speechless by Mo Mo? They knew that they’d been screwed over by Mo Mo, but they still had to congratulate her,” Tan Wenci said animatedly. “How gratifying!”

But what Tan Wenci didn’t dare to say was that if Xu Mingzhen hadn’t been so blunt and had half of Tan Mo’s skills, she wouldn’t have been bullied all the time like she was by Xu Mingjing in her mom’s home.

But then again, Tan Wenci liked Xu Mingzhen’s bluntness.

Xu Mingzhen should just stay her usual blunt self.

She still had him and his children.

…

However, although Tan Mo had gotten a perfect score, which certainly made her parents and brothers proud and happy, an issue that followed immediately after made them worry again.

“Mo Mo will live on campus after she goes to university.” When he mentioned this, Tan Jinyi couldn’t help feeling dejected.

“Isn’t it possible to live off campus? Our home isn’t that far from school, and the course load shouldn’t be that heavy right away, am I correct?” Tan Wenci wasn’t very worried at the beginning.

“Beijing University requires students to live on campus during their freshman and sophomore years, and they can apply to live off campus only after their sophomore year,” Tan Jinqi explained. “Moreover, universities like Beijing University, which ranks number one in China, are extremely competitive. It’s not like you can take classes half-heartedly and spend your university life just playing around. It’s not that easy at Beijing University. Everyone goes to study after class every day.

“Of course, our Mo Mo is so smart that she will definitely learn faster than many of the other students. But, because of this, I think Mo Mo will definitely have more to learn. It takes time to commute to school every day, so I’m afraid Mo Mo will be too tired.” Tan Jinqi had thought through this matter a long time ago.

“Then let’s buy another house nearer the school?” Tan Wenci was thinking aloud. “This way, Mo Mo can go home every day without any delays on the road. How can living in a school dormitory be as comfortable as living at home?”

“That’s a good idea!” Tan Jinsheng raised his hand in agreement and said, “I want to see Mo Mo every day. I’ve thought it through. If she lives on campus in her freshman year and can only come home on weekends, then I will go to her school every day to visit her.”

Not seeing his sister for even a day made him feel very nervous, and he wouldn’t have peace of mind!

“Me too!” Tan Jinyi said immediately. “Second brother, what a coincidence. We both thought of the same thing.”

COUGH, COUGH. Tan Jinqi’s left hand clenched into a fist, as he cleared his throat. Seeing that the attention of his two younger brothers was on him, he said, “You can’t disturb Mo Mo’s studying every day. Once you guys get there, you’ll bother Mo Mo for a long time. Mo Mo can’t let you guys leave right after arriving. This way, you guys will disturb Mo Mo’s studying time and rest time every day.”

Tan Jinyi and Tan Jinsheng lowered their heads sheepishly.

Xu Mingzhen thought that Tan Jinqi indeed had the demeanor of the oldest brother. He thinks about things so carefully.

But then she heard Tan Jinqi saying, “It’ll be fine to go once every two days.”

Xu Mingzhen: “…”

She changed her mind.

Going once every two days wasn’t much better.

Tan Jinyi and Tan Jinsheng were immediately happier.

Tan Wenci said, “Should we go check out houses now? Let’s use the time during summer break to find a house. When Mo Mo starts school, we will move in. Although Mo Mo is a freshman and has to live on campus, if we live close by, when she misses home, it will be more convenient for her to come back anytime.”

Seeing the other’s approval, Tan Mo quickly stopped them. “No, no need.”

“Beijing University is in central downtown and surrounded by old houses. It will be a bit difficult to find a suitable area for our family.” Tan Mo reminded them, “There are some courtyards nearby, but they are either a large courtyard for several families to live in or a well-decorated private residence that no one will be willing to sell. You can only search for houses farther away. So what will be the difference between it and our current house?”

Tan Wenci thought about it and agreed. “Mo Mo really deserves to be the top scorer with a perfect score. Mo Mo is so quick-witted.”

Tan Jinqi: “…”

What does this have to do with having a perfect score? This is very easy to think of.

“That will be it for the time being.” Tan Wenci had to give up his previous plan. “Fortunately, Mo Mo is going to university in City B, so at least it’s not far away, and she can come back whenever she wants to.”

For the Tan family, summer break passed by very quickly.

It passed by so quickly that it seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

Then there were 15 days of military training for college freshmen.

Therefore, Tan Mo had to arrive at school earlier than the usual reporting time.

On the day Tan Mo was going to report to school, Qin Muye came to the Tan family’s home early in the morning.

Tan Mo was going to undergo military training, but Qin Muye was still on summer break, so she had more free time than Tan Mo.

Of course, her three brothers were also going to send Tan Mo off to school together.

There were lots of people and lots of luggage, so they drove the small RV that they usually drove for outings.

“Mo Mo, did you take everything you need? Think about whether there is anything missing.” Xu Mingzhen remembered to remind her when they were about to set off.

“I brought everything.” Tan Mo was the calmest one among them. “I started making the list two weeks in advance. Every day, whenever I thought of what I might have missed, I added it to the list. When I was packing my luggage, everything was packed according to the list. ”

“It’s okay, even if she left anything behind, just call the three of us and we will take it over at any time,” Tan Jinqi said.

Tan Mo and Qin Muye had also made a special appointment with Ming Yeqing to arrive at school at about the same time, so that they can be together.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unexpectedly, when the Tan family’s car arrived, Ming Yeqing was already waiting at the gate.

But only the driver and Ming Yeqing were together.

“Yeqing, where are your parents?” Xu Mingzhen asked. Could it be that neither of them came?

How could they leave a 15-year-old child here alone?

Even with a driver… that isn’t enough to feel assured.

“My mother is the director of Beijing University, so it would be too conspicuous for her to accompany me. She is afraid that it would affect my normal socialization and life at school,” Ming Yeqing explained. “Principal Mu has concealed it and didn’t tell anyone, so the students don’t know.”

“As for my dad…” Ming Yeqing scratched his head and said, “He said that boys should be independent early on and not depend on their family for everything. I am no longer a child, so my independence will begin on the first day of college.”

Ming Yeqing’s mouth twitched and he said, “So he didn’t come and had the driver bring me over.”

If it hadn’t been for the fact that he had too much luggage, perhaps his dad might not even have given him a driver.

Xu Mingzhen: “…”

No wonder the Ming family could cultivate such outstanding children.

The parents are so tough.

Even though their family favors girls over boys, they still weren’t that tough on the three brothers.

And they didn’t take a hands-off approach until they started university
