Chapter 567 An Encounter at the University Cafeteria

Those who can get into the University of Tokyo are no different from Tsinghua University and Peking University in China; they are top talents recruited from all over the country.

When these people are put together, the competition comes down to who has the best brain, who is the best at learning, and who is the most sociable.

Xiao Jiu has been in Japan for three years and has never thought of changing her taciturn persona.

After the start of the school year, all the other students were dropped off by their parents, but she did everything alone, and her lonely figure aroused the sympathy of her roommates.

After entering university, she temporarily abandoned her status as an orphan, because she was nineteen years old and in the prime of her youth.

She also wanted to dress up nicely, so the clothes she bought from the mall came in handy under these circumstances.

Besides, when you're out and about, isn't your identity something you give yourself?

When her classmates admired her self-care ability, she responded with a faint smile.

"This is how I've always been raised, I'm used to it."

When asked about their families by her roommates, some of the children, being honest and straightforward, actually told her everything, while she shrugged diplomatically.

"I travel to various countries for work all year round, and I was raised by my grandparents."

After they passed away, I only received money from them every month, and I couldn't see them anymore.

Moreover, the money was sent back from different countries, and the senders' identities kept changing; I still don't understand it.

This statement is quite imaginative, after all, there are many professions, and someone who can fly all over the world must be no ordinary person.

So the way people looked at her changed, and although her clothes were understated, they were all designer brands.

Unless you don't recognize her, you have to think highly of her.

This time, I have to study medicine again. I flipped through the textbooks and they were all the same old stuff, but they also had Japanese medicine classes mixed in.

To put it bluntly, it's just their traditional Chinese medicine class—ugh, they're all robbers.

She found the entire curriculum of the medical system and even went to the library to find relevant textbooks.

I've decided to change my approach; there's no need to waste time on lessons that I could memorize with my eyes closed.

In the first year, medical students mainly study basic medical sciences, such as anatomy and hygiene, and other social medical subjects. They begin to study clinical medicine in the second year.

It involves a wide range of disciplines, such as infectious diseases, physiology, immunology, and epidemiology.

As one of the best universities in Asia, a top university that has produced twelve Nobel laureates, they have begun researching oncology.

Compared to the more traditional textbooks used in China in the 1960s, you have to admit that their textbook editing is a step above.

Before she transmigrated, she studied traditional Chinese medicine. During her two years at the military medical university, she studied a variety of subjects, combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

After all, it is a military medical university, and its focus is on conducting in-depth and comprehensive research on the parts of soldiers that are frequently injured.

It is certainly very different from the clinical medicine I learned at Tsinghua University.

Today, the teaching directions of the University of Tokyo and Tsinghua University are consistent.

That perfectly filled the gap in her life.

Therefore, she now attends classes selectively.

To have twice the time, she didn't go to the dormitory during the day, but found a place to eat lunch and take a nap, and then she would start studying like crazy.

She had to prove with her abilities that she was qualified to enter the main campus of the medical school, where she was surrounded by top students, and almost none of them had entered without any qualifications.

Pick any one of them, and you'll hear them recount their glorious three years of high school, how they won so many prizes in various competitions.

If she weren't wicked enough, she would have wiped out all the experts, professors, and students from these prestigious universities.

Wouldn't that mean their development would be...?

But... I still couldn't bring myself to do it.

You have to be strong yourself to fight these beasts!

She doesn't eat at the cafeteria often, mainly because, like in South Korea, the food is too monotonous; it's okay to try it occasionally.

If you ate this every day, even the monks would cry.

However, Japan is better than South Korea.

As the highest institution of learning, although it is not as grand and sophisticated as those photographed by later generations, it still has its own aesthetic appeal and variety.

The only thing I disagree with is that the portion size is too small.

For her, who was raised to be a big eater in China, one serving is not enough, and two servings are too much.

It has noodles, seafood, hot dishes, cold dishes, side dishes, desserts, all kinds of drinks, soups, and dairy products. It's like a completely different world from high school.

They dutifully chose the window to queue for their food, and then consciously went to the checkout area. The whole process was unsupervised, yet they were exceptionally self-disciplined.

She ordered a fried chicken cutlet, a large rice ball, a miso soup, a vegetable salad, and a small cake.

A whole plateful, it looks like a lot, but the only difference is the variety. However, this plate is not cheap at all, costing a full eighty yuan.

She found a secluded spot and had just sat down to enjoy her meal when a young man very politely asked her a question.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken, Ito-san?"

Before Xiao Jiu could react, she looked up and saw that it was her high school classmate, Tang Zejunxiong. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Nobody's here."

Compared to her surprise, the other person seemed more excited.

“I went to the UK for a training camp before the college entrance exam, and I was still thinking about which university you would get into.”

"Great! We're so glad to meet here again. Does that mean we can eat together and go to the library together from now on?"

Goodness, no wonder he's a rich kid. He comes in and immediately starts showing off his privileged family background. And look at the food on his tray, tsk tsk.

She's really rich. She spends eighty yuan on a meal, while most people spend at least a hundred yuan.

"Ah, we're not in the same department, so we don't need to hang out together. Besides, I don't eat in the cafeteria very often."

Tang Zejunxiong mistakenly thought she didn't have money to eat in the cafeteria, and immediately pushed his tray in front of her.

"Today I ordered salmon sashimi and seared whale meat, you should try some too!"

Xiao Jiu smiled and declined, "No need, Tang Ze. Look, I already have quite a lot here, enough for me to eat."

Even if she's slow to realize now, she can see that this guy is treating her differently. Don't let his thin and weak appearance fool you, he has a lot of followers.

I don't know if they are his parents' children, but they follow him wherever he goes. When he sits in front of her, they surround him.

Fearing that something might happen to this heart patient, she doted on him so much that she felt he was quite low-key in high school.

After he forced her to eat various kinds of meat, she successfully stopped eating the food on her tray.

We can only take the rice balls and small cakes with us to eat later that night.

Then, amidst his aunt's laughter, he fled in a panic. Only after she had run far away did he say to his younger brother with a regretful expression.

"I think I scared her. You guys keep an eye on her. If she eats in the cafeteria in the future, call me over."

"Great! I knew this girl was something special back in high school, and it seems I wasn't wrong. She was hiding her true abilities throughout high school."

An ordinary orphan, with no money, no connections, and no tutoring, actually got into Tokyo University. He didn't think it was luck.

It takes extraordinary ability to climb to this position. He enjoys dealing with intelligent people, and this girl is one of them.
