Gao Xia nodded directly beside her. "Little Eight is right." She then added, "By the way, I heard Cheng Chen call you Ani just now?"
"Yes, it is my nickname," Zhu Yanyi said casually. In her past life, elders and peers had called her this for her whole life. Even the younger generation called her Auntie Ani or Mommy Ani. Sigh, she could never escape this name. But Zhu Yanyi was not someone who would suffer a loss. "What are your nicknames?"
Gao Xia coughed lightly. "Don't laugh when I say mine. It is Cat Cub. They say I looked like a kitten when I was born, so I got this nickname."
"Cat Cub?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed. There was no mockery, just a feeling of cuteness. Wang Dan'er asked, "Boss, why are you called Cat Cub?"
Gao Xia didn't mind and explained with a smile. "Don't let my strong body fool you. My grandma said I was tiny when born, like a newborn kitten. Very small and weak. So she gave me this name to suppress my fate. She said a humble name is easier to raise."
Everyone knew the old generation's thinking. Almost every child had a nickname. Hearing Gao Xia’s story, they felt a sense of kinship. Indeed, the old way was to use humble names for easy raising.
"What about you?" Gao Xia asked the others.
"My nickname is Little Flower," Wang Dan'er said.
"My nickname is Gui Ya."
Everyone began to share their nicknames one by one. The last one was Wang Anni. She spoke very softly, "My nickname is Ni Zi. It is a bit like Little Eight's."
"It seems we are really destined to meet," Zhu Yanyi smiled. Although they had only known each other for a day, Zhu Yanyi understood Wang Anni’s personality well. She was a shy and timid girl.
"Yes, I think so too," Wang Anni said, her face full of smiles. "But we should still call you Little Eight."
"Of course. In our dorm, using birth order is better," Gao Xia said directly. "At least I am the boss." It seemed someone supported the dorm ranking just to be the boss.
"Alright. Did you have any questions while previewing the textbook? You can ask now," Zhu Yanyi changed the topic with a smile.
"I don't understand this question," Wang Dan'er pointed to a spot in the book. "What does this symbol mean? I don't get it."
"I will teach you." Zhu Yanyi looked at it briefly, then started teaching Wang Dan'er. While Zhu Yanyi taught Wang Dan'er, the others naturally came over to listen. After a while, during the break, Li Lili said, "Little Eight, you seem very familiar with the junior high textbook. Have you studied it before?"
"Yes, I self-studied it," Zhu Yanyi didn't hide it. After all, they would surely discover it when she read university textbooks in the dorm later.
"Wow, Little Eight, you are so diligent! You even self-studied junior high knowledge," An Xiaoxiao couldn't stay quiet.
Zhu Yanyi looked helpless. "Otherwise, how do you think I got first place? No gain without pain. Come on, study quickly. We will go eat soon. I have something to do in the afternoon."
