Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 885: Chapter 886: Becoming a Legendary Figure

Ming Xiaofan chatted with Cheng Su for an entire lunch break. It wasn’t until Cheng Su had to attend class that she reluctantly saw him off. His face of regret and lingering interest made Cheng Su chuckle.

”Junior, can I come chat with you again?” Ming Xiaofan looked at Cheng Su expectantly.

It wasn’t that he had taken a fancy to Cheng Su in pursuit of her, but rather that Cheng Su’s knowledge and thoughts were truly rare. Ming Xiaofan admired her, but it was more for her insight and awareness.

Besides, people who could talk about such topics with him and really get to the point were few and far between, let alone a woman at that.

Things are precious when rare, so Cheng Su was incredibly important to a knowledge-hungry person like Ming Xiaofan, and naturally, he wanted to hold on tight.

Cheng Su found it amusing and nodded: ”Of course.”

Actually, Ming Xiaofan’s boldness and intelligence also made Cheng Su feel he was rare, daring to have conjectures about the future and to try new things. Such people usually excel in life.

Right now, Ming Xiaofan was still a diamond in the rough, but as long as he took that first step to try, he would certainly achieve something in the future.

One can see the big picture from the details — this was Cheng Su’s skill in assessing people.

She was eager to make friends with people from all walks of life because you never know when you might need them.

”I’ll come look for you again tomorrow!” Ming Xiaofan said happily.

Cheng Su stumbled a bit — maybe not.

Back in class, she went to the tutor and asked about the computer course, whether she could enroll in it.

The tutor found it strange, as these were usually enrolled by male students. Female college students generally took literature and similar courses, yet she wanted to enroll?

Cheng Su thought about how useful computers were. She hoped to be able to do these things naturally in the future, so she figured why not enroll and give it a try.

Thus, Cheng Su took on an additional computer course.

Just like with the English course, she displayed her ’genius’ abilities; initially, she pretended to stutter while following others on how to boot up, shut down, and connect to the internet. A few days later, she grew impatient, and seemingly with a cheat code activated, she quickly operated the computer independently, drawing, calculating, making charts, and even applied her learning in flexible ways, making people look at her as if she were a prodigy.

However, Cheng Su felt a bit of regret. After all, in the late 1980s, computers weren’t yet widespread in student life. Due to technological reasons, the computers then were nowhere near as advanced as 21st-century systems, otherwise, she could have enjoyed it even more.

But as they say, something is better than nothing. Having it to use was better than not having it at all, so Cheng Su was quite satisfied, as these things were indeed useful.

Thus, Cheng Su became the first female student in the computer department, eventually becoming a prominent figure. Gradually, more girls joined, making her less conspicuous.

Yet even so, she was enough to draw everyone’s gaze. As her senior, Ming Xiaofan felt proud of his familiarity with Cheng Su, always bragging to his classmates whenever her name came up, saying, ”Oh, my junior this and that.”

In less than a month of matriculating, Cheng Su’s name was practically a household term at Guicheng College. With her tall and elegant appearance, fashionable and fitting attire, she likely had money — otherwise, how could such an outfit be explained?

Therefore, some boys sent her love letters. If it weren’t for her announcing her married status, she would likely have received even more love letters.

As for her name already being famous on campus, Cheng Su simply laughed it off. Staring at the calendar with days crossed off, only three months and ten days remained until Qi Taiguo would return. She wondered if he had already completed his studies.
