I'm back in 1990

Chapter 51: I have a feeling

After dinner, Huang Xiaochuan, under the pretext of helping with digestion, took Yu Wei and escorted Yu Xiang and Ji Mei to their dormitory building.

Huang Xiaochuan was also familiarizing himself with the route so he wouldn't have to ask around for directions next time he came.

On their way to the dormitory, Yu Xiang and Ji Mei encountered many familiar classmates. When they saw Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei, two strangers, everyone looked curious, and some even took the initiative to ask them questions.

"Ji Mei, where did you bring these two handsome guys back from? Are they from our college? I've never seen them before!"

Ji Mei said with a smug look, "Of course you haven't seen them. They are Yu Xiang and my younger brother. Aren't they handsome?"

"Really? I'd believe you if you said he was Yu Xiang's brother, but your brother? Hmph...?"

Seeing that others didn't believe her, Ji Mei simply pulled Huang Xiaochuan over and asked, "Xiaochuan, tell me, aren't you my brother?"

Having lived two lives, Huang Xiaochuan still has this much insight.

Not only did she impersonate him against her conscience, but she also loudly proclaimed, "Yes! You are my sister!"

Seeing Huang Xiaochuan so supportive of her, Ji Mei's vanity surged, and she felt even more confident. She then asked him, "Did you hear me? Did you hear me? Isn't he my brother?"

Seeing the two people's completely different appearances, the other person was utterly astonished. But since both parties had admitted it, what could they possibly do but go and check their family records? All they could do was sarcastically remark, "Your brother is so handsome, how come you didn't inherit even a single good look from him?"

"Hey! I have such a bad temper!" Ji Mei was about to explode.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around!" Yu Xiang said, stopping Ji Mei.

"Hmph..." Ji Mei finally gave up.

After watching the commotion for a while, Yu Wei thought to himself, "So this is what university is like? It's even more lively than high school! I like it!"

After dropping Yu Xiang and Ji Mei off at their dormitory, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei planned to return to the guesthouse.

Before the two left, Yu Xiang instructed them, "Go back to bed early tonight and don't wander off, okay? I'll come find you early tomorrow morning to take Yu Wei to register first, and then we'll take Xiao Chuan to register together the day after tomorrow."

Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei nodded to indicate that they understood, and waved goodbye to Yu Xiang and Ji Mei: "Sister, Sister Mei (Sister Xiang, Sister Mei), we're leaving now."

After Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei left, Yu Xiang and Ji Mei went upstairs to return to their dormitory.

With a mischievous grin, Ji Mei pressed Yu Xiang, "Yu Xiang, tell me honestly, is Huang Xiaochuan really your downstairs neighbor? Is there no other relationship between you two?"

Yu Xiang scolded, "You're talking nonsense again. Xiao Chuan has called me 'sister' since we were little, so we're siblings. Don't think about any frivolous things. I've noticed your mind has become too filthy."

"I suspect it? I could tell during dinner that Huang Xiaochuan treated you differently. I could tell from his eyes and his actions." Ji Mei felt that her sixth sense was correct.

"What are you talking about! How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? Xiao Chuan and my younger brother Yu Wei grew up together. They're so close they're practically inseparable. Since he often plays at my house, it's normal for him to be a little closer to me!" Yu Xiang still tried her best to explain.

"Do you know the saying 'the bystander sees most of the game'? Maybe Huang Xiaochuan likes you, Yu Xiang. Isn't this a relationship between an older woman and a younger man?" Ji Mei said with a look of delight, as if she had discovered a tremendous secret.

Ji Mei's words struck Yu Xiang like a bolt of lightning, hitting the deepest part of her heart, and her face flushed red with embarrassment.

But he still stubbornly insisted, "You're just talking nonsense."

Yu Xiang quickly tried to get that feeling out of her mind. Xiao Chuan was her younger brother, and she couldn't have any other thoughts, or it would be so embarrassing!

......

After leaving the medical school, Huang Xiaochuan hailed a taxi and took Yu Wei back to the guesthouse.

Huang Xiaochuan vaguely remembered that in his previous life, when he was a junior in college, Sister Xiang had subtly hinted at something to him.

Unfortunately, he was hanging out with female college students at the time and didn't understand what Sister Xiang meant at all. It wasn't until many years later that he remembered this incident, but Huang Xiaochuan was too embarrassed to face Sister Xiang again.

It seems that Sister Xiang doesn't have any feelings for him yet. Huang Xiaochuan plans to take the initiative in this life, but where should he start?

Yu Wei suddenly blurted out, "Oh no!"

Huang Xiaochuan was startled by his words and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did you lose something?"

Yu Wei said, "I haven't called home yet."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan seized the opportunity to lash out at Yu Wei: "It's all your fault! You can't stand being hungry for even a little while, and you're already clamoring for food, forgetting all about the important matter!"

"Alright, your sister must have called home. You'll know once you get to the guesthouse."

Huang Xiaochuan didn't want to tell Yu Wei about having a mobile phone yet; he wanted to wait until later. He was afraid that telling Yu Wei now would be too much information and would overwhelm Yu Wei.

Sure enough, after Huang Xiaochuan paid the fare and entered the guesthouse, Yu Wei had already used the guesthouse phone to call home.

He was straightforward; he hung up the phone after saying just a few words.

Huang Xiaochuan greeted the guesthouse staff: "Hello, I also need to make a long-distance call. I'll pay for it along with the previous call. Thank you!"

After dialing home and hearing a few rings, I heard my mother, Zeng Lijuan's, voice on the other end.

"Ogawa, is that you?"

"Mom, it's me. I've arrived. I went to eat with Sister Xiang earlier, and there were no phones around. I'm back at the guesthouse now, and I'm calling from the guesthouse phone."

"Where's Yu Wei? Has he called home yet?"

"He's right next to me. He called back before I did, and Sister Xiang called too."

"We're relieved that you've arrived. Long-distance calls are expensive, so we won't say any more. Write back often."

Before Huang Xiaochuan could even say yes, his elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaochuan was a little confused. His mother was heartbroken when he left in the morning, so why was she so perfunctory when he called home to let her know he was safe?

Shouldn't I tell my son how much I miss him?

At this moment, a staff member at the guesthouse asked, "Young man, have you finished your call?"

"Sorry, I'm done."

"The two phone calls cost three dollars and ninety cents in total, thank you!"

After Huang Xiaochuan paid, Yu Wei leaned over and asked, "What are we going to do next?"

"What for? Of course, I'm going back to my room to watch TV and sleep." Huang Xiaochuan said and walked towards his room.

Yu Wei strode up and blocked Huang Xiaochuan's path: "It's still early, come with me for a walk. We won't go far, just a walk around the area near our school, okay?"

"Alright! I'll go with you for a walk." This request wasn't unreasonable, and Huang Xiaochuan agreed.

Upon seeing his school, Yu Wei was greatly disappointed: "It's only this small? It's not even as big as our Qinggao High School!"

Huang Xiaochuan scoffed at Yu Wei's superficial thinking: "You don't know anything. The filling isn't in the pleats of a steamed bun. Graduates from your school are all assigned to customs, okay? And you're complaining that your school is too small?"

Yu Wei, who had just returned from the Second Medical College, was still feeling quite disappointed. It took him more than ten minutes to walk his older sister, Yu Xiang, from the school gate to their dormitory.

It only takes about ten minutes to walk around the perimeter of their customs school; the campus is really tiny.

Is this some kind of ritual performed in a snail shell?
