I'm back in 1990

Chapter 237: Mismatched Major

"I never expected you, Huang Xiaochuan, to do something like this!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly, thinking to himself, "I'm not a eunuch. If I like looking at beautiful women, that just proves I'm a normal man."

Standing in front of Huang Xiaochuan was his senior, Sang Weihong, and with her was a short-haired girl who was covering her mouth and laughing.

Sang Weihong said to the girl, "Hao Yun, you go to the bathroom first, I'll be there in a bit!"

Huang Xiaochuan then saw clearly that Sang Weihong and her roommate Hao Yun were both carrying plastic baskets filled with women's toiletries. Sang Weihong's basket contained Bee Flower shampoo, conditioner, and Snowflake soap, as well as a black bag. Based on his experience from two lifetimes, Huang Xiaochuan judged that it probably contained underwear.

Seeing Huang Xiaochuan staring intently at the basket, Sang Weihong subconsciously glanced at the basket she was carrying. She realized that Huang Xiaochuan had been looking at the small bag containing her underwear, and her face instantly turned red.

At this moment, Hao Yun smiled and winked at Huang Xiaochuan before leaving. She was quite familiar with Huang Xiaochuan and knew that Sang Weihong and Huang Xiaochuan had a good relationship, so she gave the two of them some space to talk.

After Hao Yun left, Huang Xiaochuan was about to greet Sang Weihong when he was unexpectedly scolded by her.

"You little rascal!"

Hey! What kind of talk is that? What's wrong with taking a few curious glances? Does looking at a girl's thighs make you a pervert?

Huang Xiaochuan absolutely refused to take the blame, retorting, "Senior, you need to have evidence for your words, otherwise I might sue you for defamation!"

Sang Weihong was amused by Huang Xiaochuan's arrogant attitude: "What were you doing just now? Don't think I don't know. You were staring at my basket. If you keep looking, I'll gouge your eyes out."

Sang Weihong even deliberately acted fiercely to scare Huang Xiaochuan.

Huang Xiaochuan remained defiant: "Tch! I only glanced at it by chance. It's just some bath products. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

As he spoke, he glanced again at the small basket that Sang Weihong was carrying.

Sang Weihong hid the basket behind her back and glared at Huang Xiaochuan: "You're still looking!"

Huang Xiaochuan was speechless. "Damn it, I don't have X-ray vision. How could I possibly see what's in your black bag? I'm just guessing based on logic. Is it wrong to guess? Besides, how would you know what I'm thinking?"

"Senior, you should hurry up and get on with your work. Look, Senior Hao has already gone far away. If you go too late, the bathroom might be dry." Huang Xiaochuan wanted to get rid of Sang Weihong as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Sang Weihong refused to leave and even asked him questions.

"I heard you guys got reported for partying and having a good time?"

Holy crap! Look at all the versions of this Ding Gun Gun story!

"Senior, I need to correct you. The rumors circulating outside are all nonsense. The truth is that Ding Yi from our dorm generously treated our whole class to a big meal. What do you mean by 'lavish spending'? Where did you hear this rumor from?"

"You! All that's left of the cooked duck is its beak."

Huang Xiaochuan didn't want to waste time arguing with Sang Weihong about this, so he asked her, "Senior, isn't there much work at the teaching support center? You seem quite relaxed."

"Everything is on track now, and we're not as busy as we were at the beginning."

Sang Weihong had been wanting to invite Huang Xiaochuan to dinner for a while, since he had helped her a lot. Today, she happened to run into him, and since a chance encounter was better than an invitation, she thought she might as well ask him out for a meal! However, Sang Weihong guessed that there was a high chance that this guy would not agree, as if he was a tiger and was afraid that being with her would eat him up.

"Alright, alright, let's not discuss this anymore. Are you free lately?"

"What's wrong, senior? If you need something, just say it now. I'm free right now!"

Having some understanding of Huang Xiaochuan's temperament, Sang Weihong said directly, "I'm not talking about now. I've been wanting to treat you to a meal to thank you, and since we've run into each other today, I'd like to arrange a time to meet you."

Just as Sang Weihong had guessed, Huang Xiaochuan refused: "Dinner? No need, no need. Didn't you say I just had a wild time? I've been reflecting on it seriously lately and have been strictly following the school's instructions to be thrifty and avoid extravagance. I appreciate your kindness, senior, but there's no need for this meal."

Then Huang Xiaochuan stood up from the stone bench, checked his watch, and said, "I've been wandering around for half the day, I should go back to my dorm. Senior, you should go take a shower! See you later!"

After saying that, he waved goodbye to Sang Weihong and left.

Enraged, Sang Weihong shouted after him, "If I ever treat you to dinner again, I'll be a dog!"

Those who passed by heard this and stopped to see what was going on. Huang Xiaochuan quickly ran away. Damn it, Ding Yi's matter has just passed, and if he causes another sex scandal, how can he live?

When they arrived at the dormitory building, they saw Jiang Bixing pacing back and forth downstairs again.

Upon seeing Huang Xiaochuan, Jiang Bixing appeared relieved.

Upon seeing Huang Xiaochuan, Jiang Bixing appeared relieved.

"You're finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages. I tried calling you, but your phone was off. You didn't answer my calls either. Your roommates don't know where you are either."

Huang Xiaochuan then realized that he hadn't brought anything with him when he left home; he had left his mobile phone and pager in his dormitory.

He smiled apologetically: "I just went downstairs for a walk and didn't bring anything with me."

Jiang Bixing came to ask Huang Xiaochuan if there had been any progress on what he had mentioned last time. Huang Xiaochuan was graduating next month, and time was running out!

The two found a place downstairs to chat.

"Xiaochuan, have you made any progress on your end?"

Seeing that Jiang Bixing was a little anxious, Huang Xiaochuan smiled.

"Hey senior, what you need to do now is prepare well for your graduation thesis defense. Once you finish the defense, the people from Hong Kong will be arriving soon, so please be patient."

When Jiang Bixing heard that things had progressed, he felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Actually, he had been under a lot of mental pressure lately. As graduation approached day by day, and Huang Xiaochuan hadn't made any moves, he became quite anxious.

"I submitted my thesis a long time ago, so I don't think there will be any major problems. Graduation should be no issue."

"Have you inquired about where and what unit you've been assigned to?"

"Of course I asked around, and they said it was a mining bureau in a county under the jurisdiction of southern Jiangxi."

Huang Xiaochuan thought he had misheard: "What? The Mining Bureau? That organization has absolutely nothing to do with your major!"

Jiang Bixing gave a wry smile: "That's what I thought too. When I heard that, I didn't even want to go and report for duty."

Are there coal mines in southern Jiangxi?

"It's not a coal mine, it's supposedly a tungsten mine, there's a lot of tungsten there."

Huang Xiaochuan was silent for a moment, then advised, "Why don't you register first, then apply for a leave of absence without pay before coming back to Hong Kong? By the way, have you found out when you're supposed to report for duty?"

"I asked them all, and they said I just need to report for duty before the end of August."

"Then there's no problem. The Hong Kong company will send someone over next month, and you can meet then to discuss the details."
