“Who was that just now standing next to you? Your girlfriend?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Qin Nanfeng had just come over to Sun Ce’s side when he heard this, a tease from a sports guy about his height and solid build, roughly the same as his own.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Damn it, do you even see a girl there?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Qin Nanfeng retorted with a laugh.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Sun Ce’s stern face looked somewhat innocent as he shrugged his shoulders.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Who knows! Maybe you just want a change of taste! That build—if you glance from afar, you might actually think it’s a girl, tsk…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Before Qin Nanfeng could respond, Xiong Wei beside him couldn’t hold it any longer.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He knew this guy hated effeminate boys the most.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Though they had become closer as roommates, he could sense something was off—not that he was blind—but it just wasn’t as obvious to outsiders…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He didn’t know what was going on with Xin Yuan-san, but as the most responsible dorm leader, he immediately frowned and spoke up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ce, don’t say that. This is our roommate, and he’s kind of socially anxious… Let’s just go play ball!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Alright then.” Sun Ce nodded.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He really disliked those effeminate boys.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His limbs were strong, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t smart.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Anyone who got into Tianbei University had basic decency and knew when to hold back, especially since this was a friend’s roommate…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
On this side, Qin Nanfeng and the others began their intense game on the court, the sound of sneakers scraping, shouting, and laughter immediately filling the area.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Up in the stands, Xin Yuan-san’s eyes were dull as he watched everything, his mind lingering on what had just happened. He furrowed his brow, deep in thought.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In the end, frustrated, he ran his fingers through his hair and sighed helplessly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He didn’t know about the other roommates, but that blond guy definitely knew something was off with him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If he came looking for explanations, Xin Yuan-san wouldn’t even know what to say…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That’s why it was better to keep his distance from that guy.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Nothing good ever came from running into him!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Xin Yuan-san thought bitterly, feeling this trip had been unlucky.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Time was about right, and he was starting to feel uncomfortable, so he decided to return to the dorm first.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He didn’t want to walk back with Qin Nanfeng and those guys…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He had also noticed the leader’s unfriendly look earlier.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That made Xin Yuan-san feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thinking this, he quietly slipped away without drawing anyone’s attention…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
However, this did not include a certain someone…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That person had been watching from the stands and happened to see Xin Yuan-san’s departing figure.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There wasn’t much thought in his heart—after all, he had only teased him tentatively not long ago.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Of course, he had suspicions…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As the relationship improved, he noticed more details.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Because this guy had been avoiding him lately, and their face-to-face meetings had been rare, the difference was far greater than with other roommates.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Although he didn’t know why Xin Yuan-san had become like this, there was no way he thought it was drugs—such things weren’t cheap, and Xin Yuan-san’s family background wasn’t exactly affluent.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Besides… this guy was a bit naive but honestly somewhat macho.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He really didn’t seem like the type to do something like that.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As for other possibilities… Qin Nanfeng had his guesses, but he just couldn’t figure it out…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hey, Lao Qin, rested up? Let’s keep playing!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Coming.” Qin Nanfeng responded, rising from the ground and jumping back into the exhilarating game.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Xin Yuan-san returned just after nine.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The comfortable atmosphere involuntarily led his mind to wander, and when he took out his jade bracelet, he became even angrier.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That damned thing had ruined his life.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It was his own fault for being reckless and picking up something unknown, then daring to carry it with him…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Every time he thought about it, Xin Yuan-san felt like smashing his hand, but he couldn’t—just thought about it…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
To stop his mind from running wild, Xin Yuan-san threw himself into writing.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He was currently working on a fantasy novel—very cliché—a story of a useless guy who turns things around and finally becomes immortal.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But it was his best-performing book so far.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It had only just started, but it had already surpassed his previous record, so he valued it highly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Because of this, he had almost finished plotting the entire storyline, and typing with the keyboard was much faster than before.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Seeing the steady rise in his new book’s stats, Xin Yuan-san’s gloom lifted somewhat, as if he could see money waving at him…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He thought, if only this book could earn more!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The money from before was barely enough for a comfortable life.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Moreover, a lot of that money had gone to his ex-girlfriend, but there was no response… thinking back now, it was heartbreaking…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Speaking of Li Xue…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Xin Yuan-san had basically cut off contact, though he sometimes saw her send messages.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He’d just respond casually.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But he never deleted them—maybe because of the so-called first love attachment…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Sometimes he even felt like a fool, being kicked into the gutter but still liking to touch her feet…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There were even a few times when that woman waited downstairs at the boys’ dormitory—not sure who she was waiting for.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Most likely Qin Nanfeng…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She talked about getting back together, yet didn’t even know Qin Nanfeng shared the same dorm as him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She was probably just baiting clueless guys like him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But whenever he thought of that word “woman,” Xin Yuan-san felt a bit painful and lost.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He didn’t know what his future held…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Probably… it would be bad.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No use overthinking.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The only thing he could grasp was the present.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Make more money!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Maybe things would get better and less passive in the future…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Xin Yuan-san continued pouring himself into the cultivation world he created.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
One lively character after another sprang from the words—what better comfort amid real-world worries?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At noon, the roommates returned sweaty and laughing from their game.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Pushing open the door, the cool air from the AC refreshed them.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chen Ze broke into dance moves, his whole body twitching like he was convulsing, yelling, “Ahhh~”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Everyone knew this was his signature move, but this neurotic display always got everyone grumbling.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This time was no different—even Xin Yuan-san, immersed in his writing, shuddered at the noise and found it unbearable.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When they got back, the group saw Xin Yuan-san at his computer.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It wasn’t surprising, since they hadn’t seen him after the game.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Speaking of which, before returning to the dorm, the five had even discussed Xin Yuan-san’s situation!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Hearing Chen Ze’s speculation, Qin Nanfeng only smiled ambiguously…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The six in Dorm 308 usually got along well, with almost no conflicts.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Apart from Qin Nanfeng and Xin Yuan-san’s closer relationship, the others were also fine with Xin Yuan-san and naturally concerned about their “recently heartbroken” roommate.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But they had said what needed to be said.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That was enough—too much talk was annoying!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Now, he could only rely on himself…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just then, the quietest one in the dorm, Wen Yuanshan, spoke up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He went over and patted Xin Yuan-san on the shoulder with a serious expression: “Keep it up! Xin Yuan-san! Tomorrow will be better!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then he strode off to the balcony, leaving Xin Yuan-san dumbfounded, unable to help but laugh and feel exasperated.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Clearly, his explanations had no effect.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
These guys still treated him like he was heartbroken?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hey! Lao Si, what a sneaky move! Didn’t we agree I’d shower first? How come you went in ahead? Open the door, open up!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Sorry, Ze-san! I accidentally went in—I’m already undressed!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Goddamn it, you big-browed guy! I don’t buy it!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Listening to the ruckus beside his ear, Xin Yuan-san felt both amused and bitter…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Tomorrow… will it really be better?
