“What’s your relationship with the gentleman just now…?” The three girls took a chair and formed a circle.
Penelope was the center.
“One is my boyfriend, and the other is my boyfriend’s assistant,” Penelope replied. She wanted to make friends with them and answered seriously.
“Oh…” they all replied in unison.
Everyone suddenly realized the handsome man was hers and he was rich! Penelope shook it off and said, “I will lie in bed for a while.”
“Wait, your eyes are so scary,” Bella said, “The most important problem has not been solved!”
“What is the problem?” Penelope asked.
“To recognize us!” The three said in unison.
Penelope took a deep breath and smiled, “Honestly speaking, it’ll take me at least three months to recognize you. I am sorry.”
“It’s too long..” Bella replied and shook her head.
“But it’s really a little difficult for me in this regard…” Penelope said to the group.
Bella explained. “So. we must help you, or you will make jokes later.”
“What jokes?” Penelope asked.
“Mistaken identity,” Bella said.
“Confuse one girl with another,” Linda said.
“Call me by another name,” Lucinda Thompson said.
Penelope smiled awkwardly. “No, no. I won’t easily recall names if I can’t recognize them.”
Bella took a few photos from the table and said, “These are our ID photos. You will learn to recognize these first. We will test you after half an hour.”
Penelope reached out and took a look. She turned her head and found that they all wore white shirts with blonde hair. Even their smiles were exactly the same. Penelope did not expect that this group of roommates would actually teach her first lesson at this university.
After lunch, everyone lay down to rest. Penelope felt dizzy, her mind filled with their photos. After a while, Bella woke Penelope up.
“We have a class meeting at 2:00 pm. Hurry up.”
“Okay,” Penelope replied.
Everyone dressed in their uniforms and stood in front of the dressing mirror. The three girls looked back at Penelope.
“What’s wrong?” Penelope didn’t understand.
Bella was 1. 5 meters tall, Linda was 1. 6, Lucinda was 1. 6, and Penelope was… 1. 7 meters tall.
“Let’s go.” Penelope smiled dryly and pushed the door. Walking on the green trails of the campus, even though it was hot, Penelope felt refreshed.
“You said that you’re a little older than us. How old are you?” Linda asked.
“I am 21 years old this year, according to the age of admission in Britain. I should be about two or three years older than you,” Penelope said.
Bella stood up straight and finally had the right to speak. She said, “I am eighteen this year.”
Linda said, “I am eighteen, too.”
Lucinda said, “I am nineteen.”
Penelope turned to look and said, “Well, that explains it; you are still in puberty.”
The three girls were speechless.
The English Literature Department had the most girls. Penelope’s class had 30 people, including five boys.
At the class meeting, the instructor flipped through the name books and said smilingly, “This time, we have a foreign student in our class; everyone applauds, please.”
Everyone applauded and looked around.
“Penelope, please get up and say hello to everyone.” The class teacher said with a smile.
The dwarf trio looked at her at the same time. “When did you become a foreign student?”
Penelope stood up, greeted everyone smilingly, and said, “Hello, everyone; I am Penelope Seinfeld. Although my nationality is American, I have a British heart. I hope we will have a good time in the next four years.”
The class teacher said, “I can see that otherwise you wouldn’t choose our English Literature Department.”
The others laughed, and Penelope nodded and smiled.
“Before starting your college life, the first thing in our university is outdoor development training. It will start tomorrow. I have a table of specific training and rest time. Every room chief can come here to get one. I hope that everyone will arrive at the training ground on time, obey the instructors, and take the training seriously,” The teacher added.
Bella got up to take a schedule back.
Penelope glanced at it and saw that they must get up at 5:30 in the morning. There was no hope in life.
Later, Warren came to pick her up for dinner. He watched her coming out of the school gate with a bag and looking around for him.
She really looked like a college student. Penelope found his car within 30 seconds. She smiled and walked over.
“How do you feel on the first day?” he asked.
“It’s not bad, but the outdoor development training does not seem to be a good deal, and we are asked to get up at 5:30 am,” Penelope answered softly after getting into the car.
He looked at her and asked, “So you have to live in a school dorm for half a month?”
Thinking about this, Penelope felt somewhat disheartened and lowered her head, saying. “It seems to be…”
Warren extended his hand and rubbed her cheek, “Then we go home to accompany our son to have dinner today, and you can see him a bit more.”
Penelope pushed him. “I will still come back often!”
He grabbed her hand and dropped a kiss on it. “You have to study hard so you can be an example for Chris, who depends on you.”
Penelope took a deep breath and nodded. This was her dream, and she couldn’t give up even though it was difficult.
She had to do it. Chris had not seen her yet on this day, and it was said that his mood was somewhat down. Penelope thought that Mrs. Brown deliberately said this to make her happy. After all, a two-month-old baby couldn’t possibly feel down, could he?
“Chris, baby…” Penelope called his name affectionately.
Chris turned his head away.
“Mrs. Brown is trying to bluff me. He seems down?” Penelope pouted.
Warren picked her up and said, “He is still young. And he will miss his mother in the future.”
“Hum! Little Chris,” Penelope made a face at the cradle.
Warren thought sometimes her childish behaviors really gave him a lot of psychological pressure. He always felt that she was a child and he was somehow nurturing a seedling. “You should sleep early. Aren’t you going for outdoor development training tomorrow?”
