Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: A Very Interesting Girl

Qin Jiao sat to the side, picked up a pen, and began filling out the form. It was a personal survey that asked for various details, including a checkbox to indicate she would not be living in the dorms. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The boy wearing glasses glanced at Qin Jiao’s documents and said with admiration, "Wow, you’re incredible. You were the top scorer on the college entrance exam for your province."

Qin Jiao just smiled faintly and didn’t reply.

The boy nearby, who had been surrounded by a group of people, looked up. The girls around him, sensing they had been ignored, followed his gaze and looked toward Qin Jiao.

Some attractive girls instinctively feel a sense of hostility when they meet other attractive girls.

So the girl with the ponytail scoffed. "North City University has plenty of top scorers. Lots of students do well in high school, but don’t they just hit a wall as soon as they get to college?"

"Exactly. College isn’t just about academics. There are also tons of club and student government activities. If you’re from some small town and aren’t very worldly, you’ll probably have a hard time."

’In her past life, Qin Jiao hadn’t experienced college at this age, but she had learned a lot since then. Even if you’ve never eaten pork, you’ve still seen a pig run, right?’

’What these students said was harsh, but it was also true. In her past life, Qin Jiao had heard a news story about a genius student—the kind who got nearly perfect scores on every exam. But his emotional intelligence was so low and he had no social skills, so after just half a year of college, he ended up dropping out in disgrace.’

’Such situations weren’t uncommon.’

Qin Jiao’s calm and composed demeanor made the mocking students feel like their taunts had fallen flat. One of the girls walked right up to her and said provocatively, "Hey, new student. Do you have any special talents? Thinking of joining any clubs?"

Although it was a question, it was tinged with disdain.

’At this time, the university didn’t have many clubs, and they were all mainstream types, like sports or arts.’

’In this life, she hadn’t had a chance to learn any instruments. But in her past life, while she was depressed and cooped up at home, she had learned a little bit of this and that.’

She thought for a moment and said, "How about I sign up for piano and debate? I won’t sign up for anything else, I’m usually quite busy."

’In her past life, Qin Jiao had never formally studied piano. Back then, living in the old Shen Family mansion, she remembered a piano. It was said to have been bought for Shen Yi, but Young Master Shen at the time didn’t like to play—he only liked to bang on the keys. Eventually, the instrument was just left idle in a corner.’

’Qin Jiao would wait for times when no one else was home, look up sheet music online, and secretly teach herself to play.’

’Now that she had the opportunity in this life, she really wanted to learn it properly. Getting an introduction through a school club would be a good start.’

Qin Jiao thought for a moment and said, "But I’ve never learned before, I’m just interested. Can I still sign up for something like that?"

The girl chuckled lightly. "It’s not that you can’t sign up. I just wonder if you’ll ever get a chance to actually touch a piano."

’Qin Jiao thought it over. She had saved up money for a computer, but since Shen Yi had already bought one for her, the cash she had on hand wasn’t enough for a piano.’

’Looks like I’ll have to figure out a way to earn some more money.’

Qin Jiao completely ignored the students’ taunts. After she finished her registration, she got her class schedule and prepared to go familiarize herself with the various classrooms.

Since she wasn’t living on campus, she was able to skip one part of the registration process. It just meant she would have to commute every day, but luckily, it wasn’t too far.

The sophomores and juniors from the student government in the office could only watch as Qin Jiao walked out. They exchanged bewildered glances.

The boy who had been surrounded earlier strode over to the bespectacled student. He picked up the forms Qin Jiao had just submitted and glanced through them, a slight smile touching the corners of his lips.

"An interesting girl."
