Chapter 543: The New Exchange Student
Chapter 543: The New Exchange Student
Back at the dormitory, after a quick wash, Li Qian was about to rest. It wasn't too late at this time, but after a busy day, he didn't plan to continue his gaming marathon. Just as he stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, a knocking sound suddenly echoed.
"Lu Tianjiao actually knows how to knock and take the proper route," Li Qian muttered to himself upon hearing the knock.
Checking the time, it was just past nine, and without hesitation, he picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and walked over at a leisurely pace.
The door clicked open. As it swung open, Li Qian's forehead creased with a huge question mark as he saw the person standing behind it.
At this very moment, the person standing there was completely unexpected, leaving him a bit dazed, his mind blank.
"Brother Qian, are you just going to let me stand here and not invite me in?" A cute loli-faced girl's voice sounded from the doorway, mischievous and playful.
"Rui, what are you doing here?" Li Qian was stunned for a moment before reacting and exclaiming in disbelief.
Indeed, at this moment, the person at Li Qian's dormitory door was none other than the little girl, Sun Rui.
Since their parting in Ink Abyss City, they hadn't seen each other for a while. Although they stayed in touch through communication software, it wasn't frequent.
He never expected that at this time, the little girl would appear here, which was indeed a bit surprising.
Feeling surprised, he immediately stepped aside, "Rui, come in, quickly."
After welcoming the little girl into the dormitory, Li Qian scanned the room and couldn't help but show a slightly embarrassed expression, "Um, I just got back, and there's nothing prepared in the dormitory. Have some water."
Indeed, there wasn't much to offer Sun Rui in the dormitory, so Li Qian quickly poured her a glass of water.
After they both took their seats, Li Qian digested his surprise and asked directly, "Rui, how did you end up here? And at this time?"
Sun Rui held the glass with both hands, took a sip of water, and then pointed to the wall, "I live in the girls' dormitory next door, so it's quite normal for me to come over at this time, right?"
"The girls' dormitory next door..." Li Qian became even more puzzled after hearing Sun Rui's explanation, "What I mean is... how did you end up at Shazhou Beastmaster University?"
Sun Rui pursed her lips and smiled brightly, "I applied for an exchange student position at Shazhou Beastmaster University. For the next year, I'll be studying here at Shazhou Beastmaster University."
"Huh?" Li Qian blurted out a word, never expecting that there would be an exchange student program at the Beastmaster University.
"And the college I applied to is your Cultivation Academy, which means we'll be classmates for the next year!" Sun Rui said, her expression visibly excited.
Li Qian's lips twitched imperceptibly as he looked at the little girl, a helpless expression rising on his face, "I'm afraid not."
He continued, "Last semester, I applied for an academic acceleration, and now I study with the seniors in my third year at the Cultivation Academy."
"Most importantly, I usually stay in the research base, rarely attending classes. Even for some important courses, I complete them through self-study.
Li Qian's words caused the little girl, Sun Ruirui, to freeze in surprise, her big eyes staring at him. For some reason, she felt a hint of grievance.
"Ah, how could this be?" As expected, the next moment, the little girl pouted, her voice filled with disappointment.
Li Qian spread his hands helplessly and gave a dry laugh. It was unlikely that the little girl's imagination of studying in the same class as him would come true.
There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't possibly go back and attend those classes that offered him no benefit. He had no time to waste there.
"Then I'll apply for a grade skip and jump directly to your class!" Sun Ruirui's eyes lit up, and she immediately thought of something. She spoke up, her voice filled with joy.
A black line appeared on Li Qian's forehead. "Well, you can try, but I think the chances are slim!"
She was already an exchange student and wanted to apply for a grade skip, and what's more, she specifically mentioned joining his class. Unless Dean Fei and the others had gone crazy, Li Qian felt they wouldn't agree to such an outrageous request from the little girl.
"No, when I was processing the exchange paperwork yesterday, that Ms. Jin was very kind and easy to talk to. I think we can negotiate..." As she spoke, Sun Ruirui gradually became less certain.
The more she spoke, the more she felt that this matter was indeed a bit outrageous, and her voice unconsciously became much softer.
Seeing this, Li Qian offered a word of comfort, "Actually, being in the same grade or class isn't that important."
"Since you've come to Shazhou Beastmaster University as an exchange student, we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future." Feeling that his words were a bit ambiguous, Li Qian added, "This way, we can often exchange knowledge about cultivation and make progress together."
"With such a good talent as yours, I always feel that not studying cultivation is a waste." Li Qian offered words of encouragement.
Of course, his true thoughts were... With Comrade Sun here, and given that she was a fully awakened Awakened Prophet, no matter which path the little girl chose, her future achievements would be remarkable.
"Mmm." The little girl, Sun Ruirui, felt better after hearing Li Qian's words, and her mood improved significantly. She nodded in agreement.
After that, the two of them chatted in Li Qian's dormitory for about an hour.
During this time, most of the conversation was dominated by Sun Ruirui, while Li Qian played the role of a faithful listener.
An hour later, Li Qian smiled and saw off the little girl. After sending her off, he rubbed his forehead in slight discomfort.
The little girl's sudden application to come to Shazhou Beastmaster University as an exchange student was clearly to learn cultivation... Who would believe that! Not to mention that Comrade Sun was already an extremely skilled cultivator. In terms of overall strength, Zhonghai Beast University was far superior to Shazhou Beastmaster University.
For the little girl to come to Shazhou Beastmaster University as an exchange student and study cultivation was like seeking fish in a tree—a futile effort. Her true purpose in coming was already obvious.
This was precisely what made Li Qian feel uncomfortable. He had just sent off the unclear Ilina Senior, and now he had to deal with the equally unclear Sun Ruirui.
Li Qian felt a bit aggrieved. He hadn't done anything, but the impression he gave others was like that of a scoundrel, flirting everywhere.
