Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

89: 89. Regret?Student Lu’s high-speed train had many passengers; it was completely full. Due to it being the start of the school year, many parents and students were in the carriage.

Perhaps knowing they were about to live independently, these students were all very excited, looking around here and there, unable to stop, while their parents beside them seemed worried.

The seats on this high-speed train were arranged in pairs facing each other. Lu Feng squeezed through the aisle for a while before finding his seat.

His seat was near the aisle, next to a mild-mannered middle-aged man wearing glasses. Seeing Lu Feng alone with large and small bags, he asked curiously, ”Young man, are you also going to university? Why are you alone?”

Lu Feng stuffed his backpack into the overhead luggage rack and explained, ”Yes, mainly because it’s close to home, so my parents don’t need to send me off.”

The middle-aged man smiled, ”That’s good, you’re quite independent...”

After speaking, he patted the slightly plump girl sitting opposite him, ”Look at him! Not like you, insisting on dragging your dad along.”

The girl’s face flushed red as she pouted, ”Dad, stop it, it’s my first time going far away, okay!”

The middle-aged man immediately burst into laughter and said warmly, ”Young man, which university are you going to? Maybe we’re going to the same one?”

”Jiangcheng University.”

Hearing ”Jiangcheng University,” several parents nearby showed envious admiration.

”That’s great, a 985 university. I didn’t expect the young man to be such a top student.”

”That’s really impressive, the score line must be high. This is also my daughter’s dream university, but unfortunately, she was a few points short.”

”Sigh, my son had to repeat two years to get into a second-tier university. Comparing people really isn’t good...”

The middle-aged man also shook his head with emotion, ”That’s great. My daughter is far behind; she can only go to Jiangcheng University of Technology, which is next to yours.”

At this moment, a clear female voice came from the other side of the aisle, ”You’re from Jiangcheng University? It seems we’re schoolmates. I’m Lin Wanqiu, a sophomore in the School of Economics and Management. You’re a freshman, right?”

Lu Feng nodded, ”Lu Feng, Psychology major.”

”Psychology major?”

Lin Wanqiu raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, ”Ah? Don’t people usually go to Jiangcheng University for Finance or Business Administration? Why did you choose such an unpopular major?”

Lu Feng smiled and said sincerely, ”I think the human heart is more interesting than economics.”

Hearing this, everyone around was stunned. A boy in the back row whispered, ”Holy crap, this guy is really good at showing off! I need to remember that.”

Suddenly, the slightly plump girl seemed to remember something, stared at Lu Feng’s face, and exclaimed, ”Hey, you wouldn’t be... Lu Feng, the one from the news report two months ago, would you?”

She quickly pulled out her phone and searched, ”Look! It’s this one! ’Teenager who moved bricks on a construction site ranked top ten in the provincial college entrance exam’!”

On the phone screen, a photo of Lu Feng being interviewed downstairs at his home was clearly visible.

Reminded by this, several people around also remembered and looked at Lu Feng in surprise, the atmosphere becoming restless.

After two months of recovery, Lu Feng’s skin was no longer as dark, and having gone through so much, his demeanor had also changed, so many people didn’t recognize him.

”Oh my god, I’m seeing him in person.”

”It really is you, young man! Student Lu, who ranked in the top ten in the provincial college entrance exam and rejected Northern University and Shuiqing University!!”

”This young man is very impressive, and his story is very touching.”

”Yes, to be able to get into Jiangcheng University after taking a leave of absence to support his father, he’s truly a reincarnation of the God of Literature!”

”...”

Lu Feng looked at the photo, both amused and helpless, and reluctantly nodded, ”It’s me.”

”What a coincidence!!” the slightly plump girl laughed.

The middle-aged man also slapped his head and said, ”I remember now, there was also a student who reported you for cheating back then, and it caused quite a stir. The officials even came out to explain it. I didn’t expect to meet you here, young man, you’re really great.”

Lin Wanqiu had clearly not paid attention to this news. After hearing everyone’s explanation, her gaze towards Lu Feng held a few more hints of admiration.

Taking a leave of absence to move bricks on a construction site, ranking in the top ten of the provincial college entrance exam, getting caught in a cheating scandal, and rejecting the two top universities... Any one of these events would be impressive for a person, yet they all converged on one individual, truly a legend.

”But...” Lin Wanqiu hesitated, ”With your score, why didn’t you choose Northern University or Shuiqing University?”

A parent in the back row also interjected, saying, ”Yes, although Jiangcheng University is also good, its reputation still can’t compare to those two universities. You had two choices, A and B, but you insisted on choosing C. Isn’t that too rebellious?”

Lu Feng smiled and did not explain.

Seeing his silence, everyone thought he regretted it too, so to avoid awkwardness, they stopped bringing up the topic, but their eyes towards him were filled with regret.

Soon, the high-speed train slowly pulled into Jiangcheng Station, and the noise in the carriage grew even louder.

The group of people successively took their luggage and walked out of the station with the crowd.

Watching Lu Feng walk ahead, the middle-aged man behind him adjusted his glasses and sighed, ”What a promising talent, but due to the limitations of his background, his vision couldn’t be long-term, and without good guidance around him, he missed this heaven-defying opportunity to change his fate.”

The slightly plump girl pouted and said, ”Dad, he’s already at Jiangcheng University, that’s enough. Your daughter doesn’t have such good grades.”

The middle-aged man gently tapped her head and admonished, ”What do you know? Your cousin was in the Finance Department at Northern University back then, went directly into investment banking after graduation, and now earns a million a year as a starting salary! And there’s my old friend’s son, who graduated from the Computer Science Department at Shuiqing University. He’s now in Silicon Valley in the US, and his annual salary, converted to Xia Kingdom currency, is almost two million. Look... he clearly had better options, why didn’t he choose them?”

Hearing her father’s words, the slightly plump girl couldn’t help but fall silent. He did have a point.

Lin Wanqiu shook her head behind them. If it were up to her, she would also unhesitatingly choose those two universities. Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to her own life.

Everyone arrived at the exit gate, swiped their cards, and exited. Outside, there was a bustling crowd, with welcome booths from various universities lined up, and volunteers loudly shouting with signs, creating a very lively atmosphere.

”Any new students from Jiangcheng University? Please come this way!”

Lin Wanqiu, dragging her suitcase, happened to hear the Jiangcheng University volunteer’s shout and was about to call out to Lu Feng to join her, but she saw him walk directly towards a black Maybach parked next to the VIP channel.

By the car door, a middle-aged man in a sharp suit slightly bowed and opened the car door for him.

”Hiss hiss hiss... No way??” Lin Wanqiu’s eyes widened, and the words caught in her throat.

The middle-aged man’s luggage fell to the ground with a ”thump.”

He had just been regretting the young man’s short-sightedness, and in an instant, reality slapped him hard.

It seems... he had overthought things. For someone who can ride in such a luxury car, why would they need to worry about their future?

The car drove away from the platform, leaving behind a trail of dropped jaws... The city of Jiangcheng is vast, one of the top major cities in Xia Kingdom. Even though Lu Feng had studied high school there for three years, he hadn’t fully familiarized himself with it.

For example, this large area on the southeast side of Jiangcheng is the university town, where ten universities are concentrated. So, during the start of the school year, the liveliness is imaginable.

In the car, Lu Feng took a sip of water and smiled, ”Old Yu, I told you I could just take the school bus. Why did you still come?”

Yu Tianxiong drove steadily, acting as a chauffeur, and explained, ”I needed to report on recent developments, so I picked you up along the way, sir.”

”What’s the situation?”

”Sir, Tingfeng Capital’s company headquarters is now fully renovated. Lin Shaohui has been a great help during this time, allowing me to free up my hands to recruit a team. Sir, the company will be officially established in the next two days, and we need you to come for the ribbon-cutting. Also... the candidates for recruitment need your final approval.”

Lu Feng looked at the smiling faces outside the window, his mood also becoming much more pleasant. He waved his hand and said, ”Old Yu, I’m just a freshman. You’re the company boss. You can arrange these matters yourself. I won’t go.”

”Uh, but you are the person behind it all.”

Yu Tianxiong was surprised. In his opinion, Lu Feng would definitely have to appear at such an important moment and give an important speech to his subordinates.

”The person behind it all, of course, just needs to stay behind the scenes.”

As he spoke, he suddenly chuckled and teased, ”Oh, right, if I need an internship then, you’ll have to take me in and help me get an internship certificate.”

Although Lu Feng was just joking, Yu Tianxiong took it to heart and planned to immediately sign a strategic cooperation agreement with Jiangcheng University once the company stabilized.

The Maybach drove through the lush sycamore-lined street. When it was fifty meters from the main gate of Jiangcheng University, Lu Feng directly asked to stop. He gathered his belongings to get out of the car, and Yu Tianxiong handed him a black envelope.

Lu Feng asked doubtfully, ”What is this?”

Yu Tianxiong explained, ”Sir, this is a black card with a limit of ten million.”

Lu Feng was both amused and helpless, ”Old Yu, I don’t need it. A regular savings card is fine.”

”Actually, sir, you can keep it just in case. For large transactions, it will be much more convenient than a savings card and won’t be subject to bank risk control.”

Lu Feng thought about it and agreed, so he nodded and accepted it. Then he got out of the car and started carrying his luggage. Yu Tianxiong wanted to help him take his luggage to the dorm, but Lu Feng decided not to let him take advantage, so he asked him to leave first.

The gilded school plaque of Jiangcheng University shone brightly in the sun.

At the welcome area by the gate, the senior students were enthusiastic, and there were new students and parents everywhere, dragging suitcases.

This unique university atmosphere immediately captivated Lu Feng.

”Indeed, university is an indispensable part of life.”

Lu Feng pulled his luggage, following the signs towards the School of Psychology. Along the way, he saw many eager senior students squatting by the roadside, rushing to help any pretty junior girls they saw.

It was full of the scent of hormones.

At the Psychology Department registration desk, the staff received Lu Feng’s admission letter, submitted his documents, and paid the tuition fees.

Suddenly, after entering the data, the staff member looked up and said, ”Oh, this student, you were admitted through special enrollment, so you can choose your accommodation... Our school has single rooms, double rooms, and quad rooms available. Which one do you want?”

Lu Feng thought for a moment. Although he really wanted to experience living in a quad dorm, he often saw those funny dorm friendships in short videos, which were indeed quite appealing.

But now there was clearly a better option, so why not take it?

So he smiled and said, ”Then a single room, please.”

The staff member nodded and smiled, ”Single rooms are in Building A of the West District dorms. You can check in there. Rooms are first-come, first-served, by the way.”

”Thank you.”

Lu Feng smiled. When he walked out again, pulling his luggage, he encountered many senior students, but without exception, they were all trying to sell bed sheets, daily necessities, and phone cards.

After finding Building A of the West District dorms, Lu Feng felt something was off as soon as he walked in; there were no other new students besides himself.

”This place is usually for master’s and doctoral students, but every year a few new students do move in. You can choose the room you want here.”

The building manager, an old man with graying hair, smiled and pushed a tablet over, saying, ”There’s still one room on the second floor, and the rest are on the fifth and sixth floors.”

Lu Feng looked at the tablet. What seemed like a single room was actually more like a large suite, with four or five bedrooms inside. Each room had a desk, wardrobe, and air conditioning, all fully equipped, as well as a shared common space and an independent bathroom.

Too lazy to climb too many floors, Lu Feng chose a spot on the second floor.

Holding the key and the distributed bedding and supplies, Lu Feng knocked on the door of 204.

As soon as he entered, three people were sitting on the sofa chatting. Seeing someone arrive, they all stood up.

”Oh, this year two new people actually chose our dorm. Hello, junior, I’m Gao Liang, a master’s student in Architecture.”

The first to speak was a refined, tall, thin man.

On the other side, a man with a buzz cut, who was fiddling with his phone, smiled and said, ”Zhao Lishan, third-year master’s in Computer Science.”

Next to them was another guy with a flashy fringe, who also introduced himself familiarly, ”Brother, I’m a freshman just like you. I’m Zhang Wenfa, majoring in Finance. Just call me A-Fa.”

Lu Feng smiled slightly and nodded to them, ”Hello everyone, I’m Lu Feng, majoring in Psychology.”

”Welcome, welcome. Come in and rest for a bit.”

”You have a lot of stuff. Your room is over here; I’ll help you.”

The roommates seemed quite nice, including the two seniors. Although a bit reserved, they were warm-hearted, helping Lu Feng carry his belongings to his room and even helping with a quick clean-up.

After a busy period, everyone sat on the sofa, drinking water and chatting. Lu Feng also got to know the people in the dorm.

Gao Liang and Zhao Lishan were both third-year master’s students, graduating in another year.

Zhang Wenfa was from the Finance major in the School of Economics and Management. He couldn’t get used to a quad dorm, so he paid extra to switch to a single room.

”This is great! We’re all from different places, and it’s rare to gather here like this. How about we all go for lunch now? My treat!!”

Zhang Wenfa’s suggestion was unanimously approved. Gao Liang stood up and said, ”Perfect, I’ll also give you a tour of the school...”
