They arrived at the entrance of the university. From a distance, the gate looked ancient, with a large clock hanging on the top floor. It was big, old, and ancient-looking. Judging by its appearance, this clock seemed to have been there since the establishment of the university. The buildings around were all from the forties and fifties, old structures. Overall, it appeared that this school had a history of about 60 years! Lin Heng stood at the university gate looking at the ancient large clock hanging on the top floor, feeling a peculiar sensation in his heart. He felt an intense mysterious force attracting him. He stood there motionless for a long time, lost in deep thought, completely forgetting the whole world, as if he were the only person left in the world. His focused expression even caught the attention of Ye Zimeng beside him. Female students coming to register at the university didn't think he was foolish; instead, they quietly admired the charm radiating from him, involuntarily being drawn into a fantastical feeling, imagining things they had never thought of before - like daydreaming!
Ye Zimeng was the first to snap out of it. She found it utterly incredible: "Why do I feel warmth and happiness when I see his focused expression? What a strange guy. Since the first time I saw him, although he looks quite ordinary, he is very appealing, as if he has a natural magnetism that attracts people!" Then, Ye Zimeng shook Lin Heng and said, "Bookworm, what are you daydreaming about? Many people are watching!" Finally awakened by her, Lin Heng replied, "Nothing serious. Seeing such scenery gives me a special feeling that I can't describe. Let's go inside and register." Then, without even acknowledging Ye Zimeng, he walked straight ahead because he was eager to explore the environment inside. For some reason, the feeling was stronger than when he solved those small cases in his childhood. He felt something was waiting for him, like a magical summoning spell, which made him rush into the university, completely forgetting that there was a girl beside him!
Seeing his hurried manner, Ye Zimeng muttered softly, "I must have overestimated him. He's just impulsive, acting as if he's never seen a university gate before." After shouting loudly, "Lin Heng, wait for me! Let's register together," she ran after him gently but insistently. Meanwhile, the few girls who had been watching Lin Heng came back to reality after Ye Zimeng interrupted Lin Heng's thoughts. They overheard the entire conversation between Lin Heng and Ye Zimeng and learned his name.
One plump girl asked another pretty girl beside her, "Li Miaomiao, did you feel anything when you looked at him?" Hearing this, Li Miaomiao's face turned slightly red, "No... I didn't feel anything. Let's go register. Why bother so much about others?" Then she quickly walked into the university campus. The plump girl followed behind while giggling, "My lady Miss Miaomiao is in love, yet she denies it. Look, your face is as red as a ripe apple!" The plump girl's words actually made her blush even more because when she saw his focused expression, she suddenly imagined her future life with him - marriage and children. How could she not be embarrassed? She had never thought about such things before. She also wondered why she had such feelings: "Facing a boy I've just met, is it just because of his focused look? Such focus in his eyes? Incredible!"
A voice broke her deep thought, "Miss, come back to earth. Look over there!" The plump girl pointed towards Lin Heng. Li Miaomiao followed her finger and saw Lin Heng standing still, gazing into the distance. She followed his gaze and saw the distant mountain behind the university.
As Lin Heng entered the university campus with Ye Zimeng chasing him, he stopped again. Ye Zimeng quickly ran to his side without interrupting him and looked where he was looking - a distant mountain. About 500 meters high and 200 meters long, the mountain stood alone surrounded by plains. That same inexplicable feeling arose in Lin Heng's heart again, making him feel uneasy. Unable to articulate it, he gave up thinking and began observing the university since it would be his home for four years. The teaching buildings were all old structures, with some lime falling off the walls, and some walls covered by vines.
Standing inside the university, Lin Heng noticed a large forest on his left, with laboratories nearby. On his right was the teaching building, and far away on its left side was a bamboo grove enclosed by a locked gate. The dormitory building was opposite the school gate, directly in front of Lin Heng. Close to the forest on the left side of the dormitory were three wells arranged as follows: one close to the forest, one in the middle, and one near the dormitory. On the right side near the bamboo grove was a gate locked with a chain. Far to the right side of the teaching building were some small houses whose purposes were unknown. The university was indeed quite large!
After analyzing everything, Lin Heng gained a preliminary understanding of the school, but he couldn't figure out why the bamboo grove and the gate next to it were locked or what the small houses were used for. Looking back at the second floor of the main gate, he saw the word "library" written there. So, the library was here, which explained why he couldn't find it earlier. When he looked further up, he got a shock because he saw a large clock, similar in size to the one at the entrance. He mumbled, "Clocks on both sides, this university is really interesting!" Following his gaze downward, he happened to see Li Miaomiao and the other two girls. Lin Heng then showed them a sunny smile, revealing his irresistible charm because he liked the atmosphere of the school.
Upon seeing his charming sunny smile, Li Miaomiao, who had just calmed down, became excited again. Her face turned red like a big apple, and she lowered her head, lost in random thoughts. Ye Zimeng, standing beside Lin Heng, couldn't help but sigh, "Hmph, we should go register now. Any delay will be on your own head!" Then she pulled him towards the teaching building, thinking in her heart, "Hmph, how could he show such a smile to others so casually? Sigh... what a fool!"
