“What’s so funny, haven’t you ever seen people in love?!” Zhang Xiaomei’s roar came again from upstairs, like the roar of a lion.
Ha ha ha...
The laughter grew louder.
“Let’s go, let’s talk in my dorm,” Zhang Dagou pulled Zhang Xiaomei toward Dormitory 101.
Zhang Xiaomei followed Zhang Dagou inside; there were no taboos about entering the boys’ dormitory at the moment. Anyone could come in and out. Once classes officially started, boys’ dormitories would be off-limits to girls, and girls’ dormitories would strictly prohibit boys.
Upon entering the dormitory, Xiao Han and Liu Bin were sitting up straight and proper.
Zhang Dagou awkwardly introduced Zhang Xiaomei to the two; seeing her roommates, Zhang Xiaomei lost her fierce momentum and became very docile. Her cheeks were flushed as she said, “Hello, my name is Zhang Xiaomei.”
“Hello, hello,” Liu Bin nodded hurriedly.
The group gathered and felt somewhat awkward.
Luckily, Zhang Xiaomei was quick-witted. She smiled and said, “You two big brothers, our Da Gu might look fierce, but he’s actually very shy. I hope you can take care of him for me in the future. If he has any trouble, you can call me.”
“Sure, sure!” Liu Bin nodded and said, “Da Gu, look at you, finding such a nice girlfriend, you’re making me so jealous.”
“Hehe...” Zhang Dagou grinned sheepishly.
“Still laughing,” Zhang Xiaomei glared at Zhang Dagou and said, “Study hard in school from now on, and if you dare to look at pretty girls, see how I’ll deal with you!”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t!” Zhang Dagou quickly shook his head.
After fooling around for a bit, Zhang Xiaomei pulled Zhang Dagou out the door. The couple planned to fully enjoy the few days before school started since such good time shouldn’t be wasted. After all, once classes officially began, there wouldn’t be as much time to spend together.
Zhang Xiaomei’s university wasn’t far from Shuimu University, about two kilometers away, and getting there by taxi was just the base fare. Thus, visiting each other was both quick and frequent. Besides Shuimu University, there were two other schools nearby: one called Business and Trade School, and the other South China Normal University. Both schools had many female students, so the boys from Shuimu University never lacked the company of beauties.
Combined, these three schools had tens of thousands of students, so the area between them naturally formed a commercial center, known as University Town.@@@@
There, you could find restaurants, cinemas, supermarkets, and even hotels...
Where there are people, there’s a market. With tens of thousands of students from the three schools, there was certainly a sizeable market.
At two in the afternoon, the fourth roommate arrived at the dormitory. His name was Zhang Feng, as sharp and outstanding as his name implied.
“You’re in my way,” a voice came from behind Liu Bin.
Liu Bin was engrossed in playing computer games, so his chair was pushed quite far back, blocking half the path. Liu Bin turned his head, glanced, and said, “Hey, can’t you just go around? Can’t you see I’m busy playing games?”
“Haha...” Xiao Han laughed heartily and said, “But remember, the school is a place for learning, not for fighting. Besides, we are roommates, we should live in harmony.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Zhang Feng also realized his mistake and quickly nodded, then said, “I really shouldn’t have been so rash. My apologies for the offensive tone just now, brother. Please be lenient in the future.”
“Oh, please!” Liu Bin replied without enthusiasm, saying, “I can see now that without someone here to keep you in check, you wouldn’t admit your mistakes so easily, right?”
“Uh...” Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment and then smiled, “No no, you’re mistaken. I was just... a little upset about something.”
“Forget it.” Liu Bin shook his head and said, “Since we’re all in the same dorm, I’ll forgive you.”
Having said that, Liu Bin went back to playing his game. He had completely lost any good impression of Zhang Feng. The first impression was as bad as it could get.
With the arrival of all four roommates in Dormitory 101, apart from Zhang Dagou, who had gone out with his girlfriend Zhang Xiaomei, the other three were staying in the dorm. Xiao Han had washed the clothes he changed out of after his shower, and after wiping his bed down with a damp cloth, he laid down his mat.
Liu Bin had arrived the day before, so his things were already neatly arranged, and at that moment, he was engrossed in a game of League of Legends. Zhang Dagou’s stuff was scattered all over the head of his bed, and Zhang Feng, who had just come in and set down his things, was also busy tidying up.
While sorting his belongings, he chatted with Xiao Han.
“Xiao Han, where did you learn martial arts?” Zhang Feng asked curiously.
“From an old man in our neighborhood,” Xiao Han replied and said, “I trained with him for a few years when I was a kid because I was sickly, and my parents had me learn martial arts to improve my health. After I got better and finished middle school, I stopped practicing after starting high school.”
“Oh, so that old man is a master?” Zhang Feng said, surprised.
“Don’t know.” Xiao Han shook his head and replied, “He was a pretty mysterious old man, but definitely quite formidable. He was very strong.”
“Heh, I wonder how he’d compare to our coach!” Zhang Feng smirked and then said proudly, “Our coach has won the national Sanda championship and the Asian Sanda golden belt. Anyway, he’s really awesome. I’d love to get on the stage and train under him, but he insists I focus on my studies.”
“Your coach is right,” Xiao Han nodded and said, “Boxers and Sanda fighters end up with lots of health problems when they get older. If there’s a way out through studying, try not to get into those kinds of jobs.”
“I like it,” Zhang Feng smiled and said, “Ever since I was young, my dream has been to stand on a stage and enjoy the attention. Even if I lose, it doesn’t matter.”
“Alright then,” Xiao Han conceded, feeling he couldn’t persuade him, and so, he gave up.
After lunch, Xiao Han had a great nap.
Registration lasted for three days, with military training starting on September 3rd. A month of military training was the real challenge.
He woke up in the afternoon to find it was already three o’clock. Liu Bin was still gaming in the dorm, and Zhang Feng had already arranged his bed and was now sleeping in only his underwear with an oddly seductive pose on his bed. Xiao Han chuckled, and as the cicadas buzzed outside and the sun scorched the earth, inside, the slow-moving fan brought a hint of coolness. Xiao Han hadn’t expected his university life to start this way and was filled with anticipation for what was to come.
