Chapter 509: 503, My name is Ren He, and I am an ordinary person (Third update)_1

Not long after Ren He and Xia Yuting left, certain areas of the school began to buzz with rumors that today, Queen Xia Yuting personally welcomed a new student, and it was a guy, no less. The two didn’t know each other at all; it was purely fate.

In fact, when normal people attend university, there usually isn’t much news that gets around, nor is there someone with particular influence.

The influence of the student union president is mostly limited to within the student union itself. Who cares about ordinary students? I just mind my own business playing Dota in the dorm. What can you do to me then?

However, in a place like the Central Academy of Drama, which inherently cultivates stars, the famous people on campus are inevitably those who, although not yet graduated, are already well-known. Regularly seen on the TV screen, they naturally provoke a sense of novelty at the school.

At this time, it’s less about thinking a classmate is outstanding and paying more attention to them,

and more about a kind of alternative star-chasing, just focused on a classmate, that’s all.

In the Central Academy of Drama, practically everyone could be a paparazzo. It’s normal for an interesting tidbit about Xia Yuting to be widely circulated.

It’s just like when Yang Xi was studying at No.4 Middle School. If she spent a bit more time with a particular boy, immediately it would become big news known by everyone at No.4 Middle School.

This presupposes, of course, that Yang Xi’s influence was already sufficiently large.

Xia Yuting had taken Ren He on a tour of the Central Academy of Drama campus for over an hour, showing him where the library was, where the grand theater was, where the cafeteria was, and where the male and female dormitories were, explaining everything to Ren He clearly.

"You really know Central Academy of Drama well," Ren He remarked with a smile. When he was in university, he still didn’t know what some buildings were for even by the time he graduated.

Xia Yuting tidied her hair with a smile and nodded. What Ren He didn’t know was that Xia Yuting had specifically found the school’s official map to prepare for his enrollment today. In fact, she hadn’t been too clear about some places herself before today, given that she didn’t spend much time at the school.

"Do you live on campus?" Xia Yuting turned and asked, "It’s quite far from the Courtyard House."

"I’ll stay for a while. Gotta build good relationships with my roommates; otherwise, by the time I graduate I won’t even know who they are," Ren He said.

This was something he had discussed with Yang Xi, who also agreed that the two of them should first stay on campus. Living outside right from the start of university wouldn’t look good, and over time, relationships with roommates might fade.

The main reason for attending university was to mingle with others and not to become detached from society and personal relationships.

"I have to fly south for filming tomorrow, but I’ll be back in a month. You can come to me if you need anything then; I should be at school quite often by that time," Xia Yuting considered and said.

Ren He didn’t think too much about it, as he wasn’t very familiar with Xia Yuting’s usual schedule. Before Ren He’s arrival at the Central Academy of Drama, Xia Yuting hadn’t been back to campus for half a year.

If her roommates and best friends knew that Xia Yuting was planning on being a good student on campus for the next semester, they would probably be very surprised.

When they reached the dormitory building, this new student reception came to an end. Ren He waved goodbye to Xia Yuting with a smile and went upstairs alone, carrying his daily necessities. His dorm was 313, and he wondered if his roommates had arrived yet. Barring any surprises, they would have a six-person dormitory, and he would have five roommates.

Ren He was dressed very casually today in sportswear, all custom-made clothes that Knight had sent him. As the only spokesperson for Knight and with global influence, Knight wished he would wear Knight-branded clothing down to his underwear and socks.

Knight was a noble brand in the cycling field, but with Knight’s influence, they had branched out to the entire sports field, shifting from a nearly luxury level to a mid-to-high-end product range.

After all, a bike, though a bit expensive, could be ridden for many years, but clothes are different. Although luxury goods have their market, for Knight to offer luxury sportswear still seems a tad ambitious.

In Ren He’s opinion, it was like the Adidas and Nike brands from his previous life.

Those brands are fine for everyday use, already quite good, but in a place like the Central Academy of Drama, Ren He had seen several belts that cost thousands on his way in, though he couldn’t tell if they were real or fake...

He wasn’t concerned about these things. Aside from sports brands, he hadn’t even learned all the other brands in this world. He knew about the belt’s price because Yang Xi had bought him a similar one, which was now sitting in the Courtyard House.

Ren He found room 313. The corridor outside the dorm wasn’t particularly bright, and he could hear the sound of water from the toilets next door. Truth be told, the living conditions here were much worse than at the Courtyard House, but the dormitory conditions in his previous life honestly weren’t even as good as this...

He wondered if Yang Xi could get used to life at the Central Academy of Music. He would go find her for dinner in the evening, talk about what they encountered today, and also ask if there was anything she wasn’t used to.

Ren He pushed the door open and entered. The dormitory, it seemed, was not small, perhaps more than 20 square meters, with a small toilet and a shower inside.

There was a small balcony directly opposite the door, which looked quite pleasant.

At the moment, there was only one person standing on the balcony, hands in his pockets, looking forlornly down below...

This guy couldn’t have just seen his ex-girlfriend at Central Academy of Drama, could he, with such a forlorn silhouette... While Ren He had prepared himself for peculiar roommates and classmates upon coming to the academy, this introduction still took him by surprise.

Ren He approached the balcony and looked down, but other than the attractive guys and girls coming and going, there was nothing special.

"Bro, what’re you looking at?" Ren He asked curiously, as a way of greeting his new classmate.

"I’m looking at this desolate world..." the other person replied forlornly.

Ren He was startled. Could this guy be suffering from depression?! His first new college classmate turned out to be like this? Ren He had underestimated the students of Central Academy of Drama...

But after thinking for a moment, he stood next to the other person and also started looking down. For over twenty minutes, neither of them spoke to the other, until finally the person beside Ren He couldn’t bear it any longer: "What are you looking at?"

"I’m looking at my kingdom," Ren He replied and then went in to arrange his things, leaving the guy on the balcony stunned for quite a while...

The two new classmates had met for almost half an hour, exchanging only four sentences, each more pretentious than the last. If someone had been watching, they’d probably have wanted to beat them up...

The person from the balcony, changing from his prior forlorn expression to a cheerful one, came in laughing and said, "Interesting. I’m Li Shuaizhen. I’ve played supporting roles in three dramas. And you?"

"Ren He, just an ordinary person."

It’s the usual routine, have a meal; there will be more tonight, but I can’t guarantee how many Chapters.
