Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 276 Becoming a Senior

September marks the start of the academic year at Mingde University. Under the blazing sun, a lively atmosphere filled the university's entrance.

Entering his second year, Qin Xiaochuan was honored to become a senior student, and the three of them in his dormitory were all assigned to the task of welcoming new students.

There was nothing they could do; their mythology studies major only had 11 boys in the previous year, and none of them could escape this kind of physical labor.

However, unlike the bustling scene in other colleges, Qin Xiaochuan and his friends sat idly in the tent, listening to the cicadas chirping in the treetops and playing games on their phones.

As in previous years, there are very few new students in their class.

"Come quickly and engage the enemy team! They're about to take down Baron!" Ma Qichao shouted anxiously.

"Don't open it yet, let me get a red one first," Gao Xiang said calmly.

"Hurry up, the enemy has already started fighting." Ma Qichao's tank hero kept trying to get close to the enemy's carry from outside the enemy's attack range. Under this harassment, the enemy was hesitant and dared not attack the dragon with all their might.

Qin Xiaochuan controlled a mage, following behind Ma Qichao and constantly casting spells to deplete the opponent's health.

Gao Xiang finally secured the red buff, and a team fight that had been stalemate for a minute was about to break out.

"Excuse me, where is the girls' dormitory for the Department of Mythology Studies?" At this crucial moment, a soft, sweet female voice suddenly came from the side.

Qin Xiaochuan looked up and saw a petite girl who was asking the question. She was holding her admission notice and standing outside the tent, looking timidly at the three of them across the table.

She wore a simple ponytail and a light blue dress. Her features were delicate and refined. Although she looked somewhat young, she exuded an artistic aura.

Two large suitcases and a bulging backpack were placed at her feet, clearly indicating that she was a freshman who had just arrived.

"Bang!" Gao Xiang slammed his phone on the table and quickly stood up: "I know where it is, I'll take you there now."

When Qin Xiaochuan looked at his phone again, the marksman in the game had already been successfully killed by the enemy, and the outcome of this team fight was already destined to be a defeat.

"Damn it, Gao Xiang, what the hell are you doing!" Ma Qichao was still engrossed in the game. When he looked angrily at his roommate, he noticed a pretty girl standing outside the tent.

His anger vanished instantly, and Ma Qichao said with unusual gentleness, "Excuse me, are you here to register for our department? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"His reaction is way too slow." Qin Xiaochuan glanced at Ma Qichao. This guy was indeed not as experienced as Gao Xiang when it came to girls.

The girl's gaze swept quickly over the three of them, finally landing on Qin Xiaochuan. Her previously timid expression suddenly became excited. "Wow, you must be senior Qin Xiaochuan, right? I've seen your matches on TV. I'm a big fan of yours!"

Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback. He hadn't expected to meet a fan here, especially a freshman, a future junior. An indescribable joy welled up in his heart, and he felt more at ease with his new identity as a "senior".

"Haha, really? What's your name, junior? You can come to me anytime if you encounter any difficulties in the future." As a senior, he naturally had to act like one. In front of the clueless junior, he had to show some big brother demeanor, especially since she was his fan.

Qin Xiaochuan's words were clearly somewhat polite, but the junior student obviously took them seriously and excitedly said, "My name is Xue Ning. I'm so lucky to meet Senior Qin on the first day of school! Can I add Senior Qin on WeChat?"

The young girl had already taken out her phone as she spoke, clearly not giving Qin Xiaochuan a chance to refuse.

So Qin Xiaochuan had no choice but to open his WeChat QR code and let the girl scan it.

Soon, a pop-up window with a sweet girl's profile picture appeared on his phone. After successfully adding her as a friend, the girl sent him a peace sign emoji.

Qin Xiaochuan nodded to indicate that he had received the reply. Gao Xiang then took the opportunity to lean in and shamelessly said, "Junior, let's add each other on WeChat. There aren't many people in our department, so we can help you if you encounter any difficulties in the future."

Xue Ning glanced at Gao Xiang, smiled, and said, "Sure, why don't we add each other? After all, we're in the same department, and we might need to help each other in the future." As she spoke, she generously extended her WeChat QR code.

Gao Xiang and Ma Qichao naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity and quickly took out their phones to scan the QR code.

After adding each other as friends, Gao Xiang stepped out of the tent first, grabbed Xue Ning's suitcase, and said, "Junior, let me help you take your luggage to the dormitory now."

Xue Ning glanced at Qin Xiaochuan before smiling and saying, "Okay, thank you so much, senior."

Gao Xiang pulled his suitcase and walked side by side with Xue Ning toward the girls' dormitory building. As they walked, he introduced himself, "My name is Gao Xiang, and I'm Xiao Chuan's roommate. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have in the future."

"Really? That's great!" Xue Ning seemed interested and said, "I'm new to the school and don't know much. What's university life like? What do you guys usually do in your dorms?"

As Qin Xiaochuan watched Gao Xiang's departing figure, a phrase came to mind: "Beware of fire, theft, and your senior brother."

He glanced at Ma Qichao, who still hadn't looked away, and asked, "Why didn't you come along to see the junior off?"

"He only has one suitcase, what can I do with him?" Ma Qichao said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Uh, Qin Xiaochuan put his hand to his forehead, starting to worry about his good buddy's future love life.

Nearly an hour later, Gao Xiang returned to the welcome tent, looking excited and whistling. As soon as he sat down, Qin Xiaochuan glanced at him and said, "So excited? Has your junior already been won over by you, the senior with ulterior motives?"

"How could that be? Haven't you heard the saying 'haste makes waste'? But I've already learned pretty much everything about my junior."

"What's the use? Didn't you hear? She's a fan of Xiaochuan, and she even added him on WeChat," Ma Qichao said sourly from the side.

"Wow!" Gao Xiang looked at Ma Qichao in surprise, clicking his tongue repeatedly. "I never thought you could read girls' expressions like that. It's unbelievable! I thought you were only interested in boys."

"That's called brotherhood, okay? Do you think everyone is as shallow as you?" Ma Qichao retorted.

"Alright, alright, brotherly love. You're right. Junior is indeed interested in Xiao Chuan. So what? Xiao Chuan has Guo Shiyi. Why would he be interested in this little girl? Once she's suffered enough setbacks and injustices at Xiao Chuan's hands, she'll look back and find someone who has always been there for her, patiently helping her. Wouldn't it be natural for us to get together then?" Gao Xiang said with longing.

"Tch, you're just daydreaming, don't drag me into it." Qin Xiaochuan couldn't stand Gao Xiang's smug expression any longer.

"And—I remember you've been pursuing Zhang Meng from the Economics and Management department, haven't you? What? Are you planning to have your cake and eat it too?" Qin Xiaochuan asked again.

Gao Xiang's expression instantly darkened. "Sigh, don't even mention it. She's always been aloof towards me, neither taking the initiative nor rejecting me. I really don't understand what she's thinking."

"I don't think you really like her that much," Qin Xiaochuan said dismissively.
