They took many photos.

Little Cousin took photos and picked some, finally finding a few she was satisfied with, and showed them to everyone. "How about these?"

"Beautiful!"

"Really impressive!"

"The photos for registration don't need to be rushed. Just add me on QQ. After I get back, I'll process the photos and send them to you. If you're satisfied, I'll print them, and someone will deliver them to you. You can transfer the money after receiving the photos," Baozi said in one breath.

"Didn't you say it was free?"

"I'm practicing my sales pitch," Baozi said seriously.

"'I see,' Zhou Li understood. Then, his concern shifted to another point. 'You guys have someone dedicated to delivery?'"

"Yes."

"Impressive."

Zhou Li nodded repeatedly.

This Little Cousin was finally catching on.

At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him—

"Dorm head!"

Zhou Li turned around in confusion.

He saw a tall and sturdy figure standing by the side of the road, smiling and waving at him, then jogging toward them.

"Dorm head, long time no see."

"Indeed, it's been a long time."

Chen Yang and Chang Xiaoxiang hadn't returned to school last semester. It had been seven or eight months since they last saw each other, and Zhou Li had almost forgotten what they looked like. After all, they had only been together for just over four months the semester before last, and Zhou Li had lived off-campus most of that time.

Now, looking at him, this young guy had gotten even tanner. His arms now sported half a sleeve tattoo. He looked even more like a man of the world.

Yet Chen Yang didn't continue to talk much with Zhou Li, but instead turned to face Brother Nan and mockingly saluted, "Brother Nan!"

Brother Nan nodded and glanced at the bag on his back. "You just got back to school?"

"Yeah!"

"Your luggage was shipped back."

"Sharp eyes, Brother Nan!"

"TCH..."

"Brother Nan, Dorm head, what are you two standing around for?" Chen Yang glanced at them and then at Baozi standing by the side. "Is this the Dorm head's cousin?"

"Hello," Baozi nodded at him.

"Hello, hello," Chen Yang responded with a silly smile.

"We're taking ID photos here," Brother Nan said.

"Didn't we still have some left from last year?" Chen Yang looked at Zhou Li, puzzled.

"Just taking some good-looking ones."

"For getting married?"

"You asking for it?"

"My bad, my bad…"

Chen Yang quickly waved his hands in surrender, grinning playfully. "You guys keep taking photos; I'll head back to the dorm now. Let's have lunch together at noon. My treat! I made a decent amount of money this summer working on the construction site!"

"Deal!"

"Alright! It's on!"

Just as he was turning to leave, Baozi seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up at him and shouted—

"Liu Yang."

Chen Yang kept walking a few steps before realizing something was off and turned around, looking at her in confusion.

"Did you call me?"

"..."

Baozi inwardly cursed, That was a bad move, but her face remained expressionless. After a moment of thought, she tentatively called out again, "Luo Yang?"

"I'm not Luo Yang."

"..."

"Chen Yang," Zhou Li whispered to her.

"Chen Yang," Baozi repeated. Even in such an awkward moment, she still managed to keep her cool. "Do you want an ID photo?"

"I still have some."

"It's free. I just want to practice," Baozi said, then looked at Zhou Li and Brother Nan. "They all took some."

"They came out really well," Zhou Li chimed in.

"Super nice," Brother Nan added.

"Alright then!"

Chen Yang decisively turned back.

「One minute later.」

He leaned in to look at the photo on the camera. It doesn't look much different from the one I got at the print shop last year, he thought. It's not as amazing as Zhou Li and Brother Nan made it out to be. However, since the Dorm head and Brother Nan said it was good, and it was free, he didn't feel right finding fault and just nodded.

"Not bad, not bad."

"Thank you."

"What's there to thank! Don't mention it!"

Only then did Chen Yang sling his bag over his shoulder and head back to the dormitory.

The main school gate was quite far from the dormitory, and he hadn't ridden a bike either, so he just wandered leisurely along.

Zhou Li and Brother Nan were much the same.

After leaving the school gate, it felt as if they had also left the noise behind. Walking through the quiet campus, they strolled around to see the changes from the past two months. Along the way, they even guided a couple of lost parents to the canteen, an experience they found quite amusing.

「Afternoon.」

The sun had become scorching hot.

Little Cousin put on a duckbill cap and was still sitting on the curb, looking a bit like an outdoor photographer.

She was no longer soliciting customers but instead cradling a cup of iced milk tea, sipping it slowly.

Not far to her left and right, two beautiful girls were vigorously pitching to the new students passing by. One wore a JK uniform, showing off her fair legs and slim waist, and the other donned a fairy-like Ru Skirt, her demeanor tranquil and eye-catching in the crowd.

"Freshwoman, would you like to have your ID photos taken?"

"You'll need a lot of ID photos for enrollment, and many of them will be with you for all four years of university. Why not take a set of beautiful ID photos?"

"How... how much does it cost?"

"Thirty for a set."

"But... the stores on the commercial street only charge 10 yuan."

"We focus on quality, not just getting by! We guarantee you a stunning photo, with post-production included, and we'll work until you're satisfied!"

"Really...?"

"Satisfaction guaranteed! We girls absolutely cannot compromise on our photos!"

Seeing the freshwoman's hesitation, Qian Qian curled her lips into a smile and brought her hands out from behind her back, revealing a few ID-sized photos. "Look, these two were taken by our photographer and even retouched. And these two? They were just carelessly taken by shops on the commercial street."

She extended her hand towards the freshwoman. "See how big the difference is?~~"

The freshwoman took them, and her eyes immediately widened.

Qian Qian struck while the iron was hot. "Some photos will be with you for four years. You haven't already taken them at the commercial street, have you?"

"No! I haven't taken them!"

"Then..."

"Senior, where do you guys take them?"

"Come with me."

「At the same time, a hundred meters away on the other side.」

Mianmian, dressed in Hanfu, stood before a male junior, bowed slightly in greeting. "Junior Brother, greetings. Would you like to have your ID photos taken?"

「Half a minute later.」

Seeing Cotton Swab starting to bring over more and more juniors, Little Cousin put down her milk tea and picked up her camera.

Business is here!

「Evening.」

Zhou Li sat at his desk in the dormitory, drinking the milk tea Little Cousin had inexplicably bought for him. Although it was just a dirt-cheap milk tea from Mixue Ice Cream, it was still a significant expenditure for the perennially broke and debt-ridden Baozi.

Baozi wasn't stingy, but she really was poor.

What was even more surprising was that Chen Yang, in the bunk next to him, also had a cup, which puzzled Zhou Li even more.

Could Little Cousin have taken a liking to Chen Yang?

Zhou Li turned to glance his way.

Chen Yang was wearing nothing but black and grey striped boxer briefs, sitting with his hairy legs wide apart, burping while scrolling through Kuai Shou.

That slob? And those manners? Impossible! Baozi's personality wouldn't allow for something like that. She'll probably be single all through university. So, what's the reason? Zhou Li couldn't figure it out.

He glanced at his phone. There were a few messages from Zhu Shuang. If Zhou Li remembered correctly, they were also starting their registration today.

Zhu Shuang: I've completed my registration

Zhu Shuang: The process was simpler than I thought

Zhu Shuang: A senior sister was really nice to me

Zhu Shuang: The campus is so big

Zhu Shuang: HAHAHA!

Zhu Shuang: [Picture]

There was even a selfie.

It's a bit hard on the eyes, Zhou Li thought. Not as good-looking as me.

But he understood Zhu Shuang's feelings. The young man had just arrived in a new environment and was undoubtedly very excited, urgently needing to share his experiences. It wouldn't be right to ignore him. So, Zhou Li patiently chatted with Zhu Shuang for a while, as if humoring a child.
