Two years and N months later
Although computers were gradually becoming widespread, not every dormitory has a computer.
At 11:30 pm, college students with computers stayed up all night playing games. Although World of Warcraft hasnât yet been released, games like The Sword and Fairy Online and Journey to the West have quietly become popular, greatly enriching college studentsâ spiritual world. From these two years onwards, many studentsâ living expenses have included an additional expense for the internet.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even at a top university like Beidou Normal University, many people have succumbed to this trend. In the past two years, more and more people went to internet cafes for overnight gaming. For many people, the night only begins around midnight.
The sound of a radio can be heard in Dormitory 4444. The girls living here have changed since the previous occupants moved out.
A girl who returned late from using the internet greeted her roommates when she pushed open the door. She was planning to go out and wash up before going to bed, but she stopped because of the sound coming from the radio.
âWhat program is this?â
âSoul Code; itâs a popular radio show in this city, on the Traffic Radio Station. The host answers calls from the audience and helps solve their emotional troubles and problems,â The girl who was listening to the radio replied.
They were supposed to be using headphones, but everyone in the dormitory liked the show, so they played it out loud.
Nowadays, many radio stations have similar programs with most airing late at night when everything is quiet. Theoretically, the audience ratings wouldnât be too high because no one wants to listen to other peopleâs emotional trash by their radios.
However, Soul Code has exceptionally high ratings, attributed to its female host who uses a soft voice yet speaks clear and powerful reasoning.
âThe flickering neon lights penetrate the cityâs night; at this moment, you might be missing someone or encountering someone new. The time in the Imperial Capital is 11:30 pm. In the crowd, you hear my voice; I am waiting for your confessions among the crowd. I am your host tonight, Meiwei. Welcome, everyone, to tonightâs Soul Codeâ¦â
The hostâs voice is soft and pleasant, like a refreshing breeze on a summer night.
If you have listened to her program and witnessed the sharpness of her answers, you would know that her softness is only the surface; her unorthodox and incisive analysis and her professional psychological perspective have made Soul Code an instant hit in the city.
Many people stayed up just to hear Meiwei answer other peopleâs psychological questions, and each time she did, their own understanding would be elevated as well.
The director connected the first caller, a woman crying that her fiancéâs family was looking down on her, claiming it was because their horoscope readings did not match. But she didnât even criticize her fiancéâs shortcomings in bed, as he could only last three minutes! It was so depressing to be looked down upon by such an inadequate man!
If this had been another show, a problem like that would have been discussed for at least 20 minutes, but Meiwei had a rule: callers were only given three minutes. If they didnât get to the point, the director would cut them off and move on to the next caller.
Such a unique host was a first for many listeners. After being cut off several times, everyone who called in learned to be concise and minimize their discussions, eagerly waiting for Meiweiâs guidance.
The girls from dormitory 4444 also held their breath, waiting for the hostâs answer; they imagined how they would handle such a situation if it was happening to them.
âLife is short; why put yourself through trouble trying to adapt to others? If youâre insisting on struggling to adapt to his strange family and his incompetent brother, just remember that when youâre buying cucumbers and enduring your in-lawsâ comments like âwe all opposed this, she was the one who insisted,â youâll need the same courage you have now to marry him. May you have endless cucumbers and everything be well. Director, letâs bring in the next caller!â
âOh my God! This host is so unique! Why do I find her voice somewhat familiarâ¦â The girl who just came back was shocked. Can a radio show host really have such a unique personality?
âMeiwei always has a way of getting to the essence of things. After listening to a few episodes, my view on life has been refreshed. By the way, Xiao Yu, both of you are majoring in psychology, right? Do you think this host could have a professional background? Sometimes, the way she answers questions is so professional that it doesnât sound like itâs coming from an outsider. I love her so much; I want to know what kind of woman can be so wise. Her voice makes her sound like sheâs beautiful, too,â Another girl from the dormitory said with stars in her eyes.
The third girl was also excited, âMeiwei joined the city radio station recently, right? Since she started, this once-listless program has had increasingly high listener ratings. Even our professors have recommended that we listen to her show for our majorâs improvement. I really want to know who this incredible person is. Why donât we wait by the radio station entrance and see what Meiwei looks like?â
Even women are captivated by her; how could men not be? Itâs said that some taxi drivers would park near the radio station at the showâs ending time, hoping to get a glimpse of her. Some even tried to get inside the radio station, only to be stopped by the security guard.
As the recently returned girl listened to the host answering questions, her eyes suddenly widened, her mouth forming an âO.â
âI know who this is! Oh my God, itâs related to our dorm room!â
âWho?â
âDo you know who lived in this dormitory before?â
âDonât know⦠but I do know that our dormitory has cleaner walls than others; it seems like theyâve been repainted. Do you guys think there might have been a crime here before we moved in, and thatâs why they had to repaint the walls?â
In fact, the walls had been cleaned after the previous occupant had spilled juice all over them, but girls tend to have wild imaginations.
âDo you remember the undefeated female legend from the Department of Psychology in the College of Science?â
âAre you talking about senior Chen Xiaoqian? Oh, right, she used to live in this room and moved out after being promoted to graduate school. As her peers, itâs quite depressing when you think about it; when they first started, they were all in the same year, but now the legend is in graduate school while her peers are just starting their senior year. How can there be such a gap between people?â
âAh! Iâve seen that legendary girl too. She seems to avoid the canteen, live off-campus, and not participate in any clubs, just a very low-profile person.â
Top University has no shortage of excellent students, but when it comes to the most legendary figure on campus, it has to be the female legend, Chen Xiaoqian.
She is the only person in the history of the university who has completed undergraduate coursework two years ahead of schedule and entered graduate school â a real supergod.
A few months ago, she represented the school in the International Psychology Competition. After all her teammates were defeated by the opposing team, she single-handedly eliminated the entire opposing team, leaving behind an incredible legend, making her a godly figure on campus.
What could be the connection between the supergod Chen Xiaoqian and the radio host?
âI eavesdropped on her class once; this Meiwei, is our schoolâs supergod Chen Xiaoqian!â
