Mao Dan burst out laughing from behind but soon covered his mouth. Still, his eyes betrayed his feelings.
Shen Liangqing trembled in a rage. She had no idea how Shen Bai didn't die on the fringe planet but came back as if he was a different person already. If he didn't have Shen Bai's face, she would think she didn't know him before.
Shen Liangqing took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down. "Miss, don't let him register. My family would never recommend him to study here."
Wen Yanni shifted her gaze on Shen Liangqing. She checked Gu Bai's document carefully and found something different...
"Miss Shen, the Shen family didn't recommend him," said Wen Yanni cautiously.
They all had to be careful because Shen Liangqing was hard to mess with.
"That's impossible! Who is willing to recommend him except my family?" Shen Liangqing didn't believe it.
The number of the recommended quotas for Imperial University was limited, and they were only given to big families with strong backgrounds. The Shen family only got it in recent years. If Shen Bai didn't get the chance from the Shen family, which family did he count on?
How did he know about other families? Shen Liangqing thought a lot in a short time.
"The Shen family has offered you the quota, so your family doesn't have an extra one for Gu Bai. He's recommended by the Gu family," explained Wen Yanni.
The Gu family used to be a big family more than 20 years ago. But it soon declined in the empire and didn't share its name among the big ones anymore.
However, given its history, the elder ones and the upper class still acknowledged the Shen family. Therefore, it was reasonable that Gu Bai had the right to get the quota.
Wen Yanni would never think that Gu Bai was from the Gu family, the family that once was popular among people. There were many talented chefs born in this family.
It was a pity that the only person left didn't even get a One-Star Chef Certificate by now. It looked like the Gu family was about to vanish from the industry.
"The Gu family?" Shen Liangqing repeated as if she had thought of something. Then she felt complex and urged Wen Yanni to do her job. "Hurry and finish my registration."
Wen Yanni quickly went through the procedures and didn't feel relieved until Shen Liangqing left.
"We are not done yet!" Before Shen Liangqing left, she threatened Gu Bai again.
But Gu Bai didn't even look at her, not to mention being frightened by her threat.
Even if Shen Liangqing didn't come after him, he wouldn't make it easy for her. After all, he remembered every horrible thing Shen Liangqing had done to Shen Bai before.
After Shen Liangqing left, Wen Yanni didn't dare to provoke Gu Bai but helped him register as well.
"Xiaobai, which class are you in? What's your room number?" Mao Dan asked.
Gu Bai replied, "Class One, Room 609."
Mao Dan was surprised. "We are in the same class. What a shame we are not in the same dormitory. I'm in Room 608. We are neighbors. Come find me if anything."
"Thank you," replied Gu Bai.
"By the way, didn't you pass the One-Star Chef Certificate test? Why did the madam say you didn't?" Mao Dan couldn't help asking. He had been curious since just now.
They were in the same test room, sitting together, and they didn't separate until they both got the certificate.
"They withdrew my certificate for some reason." Gu Bai confessed and didn't think the answer might disgrace him.
Mao Dan was surprised. "Do you mean they take back your certificate after you get it?" He had never heard of this before.
"How could the Chef Guild do this to you? You deserve the certificate." Mao Dan couldn't understand it.
If other people heard what Gu Bai said, the first idea that occurred to them might be Gu Bai got the certificate by cheating or something like that.
But Mao Dan witnessed how Gu Bai passed the test, so he was aware of how capable Gu Bai was.
Given the same reason, he became even more indignant.
Gu Bai hurried to console him, "It's not their fault. They just followed the rules. As for the reason, I'll tell you later. Don't worry. I'll get another one in the future."
"I don't doubt that. You are capable of taking it back easily." Mao Dan smiled, feeling confident in Gu Bai.
Unfortunately, not everyone shared his thoughts.
It was soon known to all that Gu Bai didn't enter the university normally and didn't pass the One-Star Chef Certificate test.
Many people knew that those big families could recommend their children to enter Imperial University for study, but they still got the One-Star Chef Certificate.
They used the special quotas only because their scores were not enough for them to be recruited, but their family background had guaranteed that they could pass the One-Star Chef Certificate test easily.
As for those who attended the college test and got the admission notices, they had also won the One-Star Chef Certificates.
Therefore, it was very rare that someone registered without a One-Star Chef Certificate, at least not in the past few years.
Therefore, before the official opening ceremony, Gu Bai had become a trending topic at the university instead of within his department.
Right now, Gu Bai and Mao Dan were still on their way to the dormitories.
The Imperial University had a wide area and great fortune. Therefore, every academy had a private teaching building and a dormitory building, equipped with all the necessary facilities.
For example, the dormitory building of the Department of Food and Beverage was six-story. They had elevators, and each dormitory had three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. Each student had their private bedroom with a bathroom inside, and the three in one dormitory shared the living room and the dining room.
Because cooking was the daily routine for students in the Department of Food and Beverage, they had kitchens inside, but students of other majors didn't have the same treatment.
Of course, they didn't even know how to cook even if they had kitchens.
They both lived on the sixth floor. Luckily, they had elevators, or they would be exhausted walking up and down the steps every day.
"Xiaobai, I'll go find you for lunch once I finish unpacking," Mao Dan said to Gu Bai when he stood in front of Room 608.
"Okay," Gu Bai nodded and walked over to Room 609. Putting the card in the right position, he heard a sound, and then the door opened.
Gu Bai didn't see anyone else in the living room. The other two bedroom doors were closed. He wasn't sure whether they hadn't arrived or if they were inside.
He stood in the living room, looking around. Finally, his gaze fell on the kitchen. His eyes were lit up when he saw all the necessary cooking tools in the kitchen. He walked over before he went to check his bedroom.
The kitchen provided by the school was not small. It was a bit small since Gu Bai had gotten used to the big kitchen in Blue Star. Still, it was good enough for his daily use.
Gu Bai didn't expect to have such a dormitory at Imperial University. With the kitchen inside the dormitory, he didn't have to eat outside or drink any nutrient fluid but cook for himself.
Gu Bai examined everything in the kitchen carefully and didn't go to his bedroom until he knew where the cooking facilities were put in the kitchen.
Gu Bai lived deep in the dormitory, which was about 20 square meters. There was a bed, closet, and a desk inside.
Gu Bai didn't take much stuff with himself this time. First, there were not many malls on M95 Planet, and the things inside were basically out of date; secondly, it was troublesome if he had to take everything he needed to the Central Star. Therefore, he decided to buy everything he needed when he got to school. He didn't lack money anyway.
Given the above, he only brought two sets of clothes for changing, nothing else.
Now that he had finished registering and entered his dormitory, it was time for Gu Bai to buy some necessities and clothes.
Gu Bai sat on the bed, opened Starnet, and browsed for a while. He didn't finish the purchase thing until more than an hour later.
He heard something moving outside. It seemed like someone had entered.
Gu Bai thought to himself it might be his roommate. Since they were about to live together in the following year, Gu Bai decided to say hello even if it was only out of courtesy.
When Gu Bai opened the door, he saw a figure standing at the door opposite him. Since the man had his back to Gu Bai, Gu Bai couldn't see his face.
"Hello, I'm Gu Bai," Gu Bai said first.
Hearing the voice, the man turned around subconsciously. Gu Bai couldn't help taking a deep breath when he saw the man's face.
The man's delicate face was perfectly matched with his high nose bridge and red lips. Combined with his long black hair, he was as beautiful as a woman.
Gu Bai himself was very good-looking, but he was still amazed by the man's pretty face even if he had gotten used to people who were as handsome as him.
"Wen Yan."
His voice was very pleasant to hear. His cold face and tone made him seem unapproachable.
