The group was heading toward the university's self-service shopping plaza—a rather impressive entourage consisting of the entire Su family and two dormmates.
But given that it was registration day, the sight of entire families escorting students wasn't uncommon. Their little procession, while lively, didn't attract undue attention.
Just as they were making their way forward, a young male voice called out behind them, his tone unmistakably aggrieved. "Tang Xue! I've been waiting here for you. How could you forget me? Where are you going? I'll come with you guys!"
Everyone paused. Tang Xue suddenly remembered something, turned back with a bright smile, and replied cheerfully, "Oh no! Li Juan and I met our new roommate today—we were so excited we totally forgot about you! Thanks again for helping us carry our luggage downstairs. We're heading to the shopping plaza now. Chen Xi, come with us!"
