Chapter 1738 Roommate, Chance Encounter, Li Jia

There were four people in one dormitory. Zhou Chen thought he had arrived early enough, but he didn't expect that someone had arrived earlier than him, and there were two of them.

Zhou Chen walked into the dormitory and took the initiative to greet the two people, and the two people responded very enthusiastically.

"Zhuang Tuxi."

"Yang Jingming."

"Zhang Jun."

Zhou Chen put his luggage on his bed and started to pack it up. After a simple packing, the three of them started chatting with each other.

They were all strangers, so they must have talked about ordinary things at the beginning, such as where they were from and how old they were.

Yang Jingming was from Rongcheng, and Zhang Jun was from Chang'an.

When they heard that Zhou Chen was not yet sixteen years old, they were all shocked.

In this era when people generally go to school later, it is still relatively rare to go to college before the age of sixteen. Moreover, Zhou Chen was not specially recruited, but was admitted by himself through the college entrance examination, which means that Zhou Chen skipped at least two or three grades when he went to school.

The two of them, one eighteen and the other nineteen, are the general ages of college freshmen. Zhou Chen's age is probably the youngest in the university.

Neither of these two roommates is difficult to get along with. After chatting for more than an hour, the three of them became more familiar with each other. They are all okay in terms of personality, but they don’t seem to be very good in terms of economy. However, this is also the norm in this era. Everyone is poor, and most college students live on subsidies.

After Zhou Chen packed up, he called home using the phone in the dormitory building. It was Zhuang Xiaoting who answered the phone.

Because she knew that Zhou Chen would call after arriving at school today, Zhuang Xiaoting did not go out all day, and waited while reading at home. In the evening, she finally waited for the phone to ring.

"Mom, it's my second brother calling."

Huang Ling, who heard the voice, quickly ran over from behind and said to Zhuang Xiaoting: "Hands-free, put it on hands-free."

Zhuang Xiaoting pressed the hands-free button, and then the mother and daughter gathered around the phone and talked to Zhou Chen.

It was not long since they separated, but for them, it was already separated. It seemed that a long time had passed. When they heard the voice again, they were naturally full of joy.

After talking to Zhou Chen for five or six minutes, she finally realized that the phone bill was not cheap, and then asked Zhou Chen to hang up quickly.

Huang Ling, who hung up the phone, was relieved. At this moment, she was really happy that Zhou Chen installed this phone. It was very expensive, but she could hear her son's voice at any time, so the money was worth it.

The last roommate came the next day. This guy came from Qinghai, which was far away, so he came to school later.

There were four people, three of whom were in the same major, and Zhang Jun was in another major.

After getting to know each other, everyone went to the cafeteria to eat together. Of course, everyone ate separately. In this era, everyone was nervous, and there was no such thing as treating guests. Although Zhou Chen was rich, he would not be so prominent.

The freshmen of the university in 1983 did not need military training like a few years later. Now there is no military training for freshmen. Two days after reporting, they went to the class and met the teacher, and then there was a series of things such as class meetings and book distribution.

Zhou Chen chose journalism and communication because he didn't want to repeat the major he had studied before, so he chose this major after selecting it.

Although this major may seem lame in the eyes of later generations, it is actually quite good in this era and is also very competitive. It is also one of the popular majors in Fudan University during this period.

He didn't plan to find a job according to this major in the future. He was just purely interested in it and felt that this major would also facilitate his future literary publication. From publication to publishing, etc., it is all within the scope of the major.

In fact, if Fudan's law department was not slightly inferior, he had thought about studying law before. He had been in ancient and modern times. The role of law is very practical no matter in which era. After all, civilized society cannot do without law.

However, since he chose journalism and communication, Zhou Chen would naturally study hard and master one more knowledge. There are only benefits and no harm.

Even in college in 1983, life is still rich and colorful, and there are many more ways to entertain than in high school. In terms of integration ability, Zhou Chen is not inferior to anyone and quickly established a good relationship with his classmates.

There were not many classmates in the same class, and he was undoubtedly the youngest one, but also the most eye-catching one. Whether it was his hairstyle, clothing, or his figure and appearance, he was extremely outstanding, so he was naturally the most eye-catching one.

Therefore, before Zhou Chen recognized all the male classmates in the class, he had already recognized most of the female classmates in the class, and he did not take the initiative to recognize them, but passively, and it was the female classmates who came to know him.

More than a week passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Chen remembered what he said to Zhuang Tunan after he separated that day, so he went to Tongji University on the weekend.

But who knew that Zhuang Tunan was so unreliable. He went to Tongji University, asked people, and found his dormitory, but he didn't see him. He heard from his roommate that he went out to play with his classmates.

Thief unreliable.

If he was not there, Zhou Chen would naturally not stay to wait for him. A few days later, when it was not the weekend, he went to Tongji University again, but Zhuang Tunan was still not in the dormitory, but went to class, so he could only go to the classroom to look for him again.

This was the case in the days before mobile phones. Either you had to make an appointment in advance for a specific time, or you had to wait or look for someone.

Zhou Chen had been to Tongji University more than once, but he was not actually familiar with the place, so he could only ask people.

After asking two people in a row, neither of them knew where the classroom for the Department of Architecture was. At this moment, a girl walked by him. He didn't care and was about to continue asking people, but suddenly he saw the girl who passed by, a book fell on the ground.

"Hey, classmate. Your book fell."

Zhou Chen picked up the book from the ground, and a postcard slipped out of the book.

The girl in front heard the voice and turned her head in confusion, wanting to see if he was calling her. Then she saw the book Zhou Chen picked up and the fallen postcard, and immediately recognized it as her book, so she took a few quick steps and came to Zhou Chen.

"It's my book, thank you, classmate."

Zhou Chen took the book and postcard. When he picked it up just now, he found that there was a poem he published written on the postcard, which was the poem Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming. It was really a coincidence.

He handed the book and postcard to the girl with two pigtails in front of him.

"No, classmate, please ask, I see your book is about architecture, are you a student of architecture?"

Li Jia took the book and postcard, inserted the postcard into the book page and put it away, and nodded slightly after hearing Zhou Chen's words.

"Yes, I am from the architecture department."

Zhou Chen immediately showed an expression of effortless success.

"Great, classmate, I want to ask you for a favor, I want to find someone, a freshman in the architecture department, but I don't know much about your Tongji University, so I want to ask where the classroom of your architecture department is."

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, look!

Li Jia was very surprised to hear Zhou Chen's words and said, "I am a freshman in the architecture department. Who do you want to find? Maybe I know him."

"He is a freshman in the architecture department, his name is Zhuang Tunan."

"Zhuang Tunan?"

Li Jia thought about it carefully and found that there seemed to be a boy named Zhuang Tunan in his class.

"There seems to be a guy named Zhuang Tunan in our class, but I don't know if he's the person you're looking for."

Zhou Chen wasn't too surprised. She just said that she was a freshman in the Department of Architecture, so it's likely that she was a classmate of Zhuang Tunan, so it's not surprising that they were in the same class.

"That should be it. I heard that he went to class. Can you tell him which building and which classroom he was in?"

Li Jia said, "I'm going to class too. I'll take you there."

"Thank you so much. It saves me a lot of time. Otherwise, I would have to ask others."

Li Jia walked in front, and Zhou Chen followed half a step behind, looking at the environment on campus. They were both universities, and they were next door, but the environmental characteristics of the two universities were slightly different.

Fudan's campus gives people a feeling of being small and exquisite, full of classical beauty, while Tongji gives people a feeling of being down-to-earth and pragmatic, and the architectural expressions are also different.

Li Jia quietly glanced at Zhou Chen. When they met face to face just now, Zhou Chen's outstanding image and temperament gave her a very amazing feeling.

Whether it is a man or a woman, when they meet for the first time, they will always observe their appearance. Good appearance will naturally leave a deeper impression and good impression on people.

"Classmate, I just heard you say that you are not from our school?"

Seeing the girl take the initiative to ask, Zhou Chen politely replied: "Well, not from Tongji, I am from Fudan next door."

"Oh, I also thought about applying to Fudan before the college entrance examination, but I was afraid that I would not perform well, so I did not dare to apply to Fudan as my first choice."

Fudan and Tongji are both key universities, but in comparison, Fudan is still a little better than Tongji, and the admission score is also higher.

"Tongji is also very good, especially the Department of Architecture, which is the best in the country."

Li Jia smiled brightly. She also felt so, so she applied to the Department of Architecture of Tongji. She liked it on the one hand, and the excellence of the Department of Architecture on the other hand.

"My name is Li Jia, classmate, what's your name?"

"Zhuang Tuxi."

"Are you Zhuang Tunan's brother?"

"No, I'm his younger brother."

"Ah?"

Li Jia looked at Zhou Chen in surprise. She didn't have much impression of Zhuang Tunan, but she was sure that Zhuang Tunan didn't look like Zhou Chen, otherwise she wouldn't have had any impression of him with such an outstanding appearance.

As if he could see what Li Jia was thinking, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "We are not twins. He is two years older than me."

Li Jia was confused by Zhou Chen's smile. He was already very handsome, and this smile made him even more charming, which made her heart beat faster uncontrollably.

"Oh, oh."

She quickly turned her eyes away, and then slowly calmed down, and then stopped talking and continued walking with Zhou Chen.
