Reaching their dormitory block, Yuchi Yishu and Zhong Chufeng helped the girls get their luggage up the stairs. The other roommates hadn’t arrived, therefore Tang Yuanyuan and Meng Kefei could choose their beds first. Meng Kefei didn’t want to sleep on the upper bunk, hence she chose a lower bunk.
“Do you want to sleep on the upper or lower bunk?” Yuchi Yishu asked Tang Yuanyuan, who had rosy cheeks.
Just when Tang Yuanyuan took a look and wanted to speak, Zhong Chufeng mocked, “Yuanyuan, I think you should choose a lower bunk as the upper bunk may not be able to hold your weight.”
Tang Yuanyuan understood the meaning behind his words. Her rosy cheeks turned as red as an apple in an instant, and she hung her head low without saying a word. Yuchi Yishu shot him a stern look. However, Zhong Chufeng continued to mock, “The lower bunk is safer and more convenient as you don’t have to climb up and down. Moreover—”
“Are you done?” Yuchi Yishu questioned in a glacial voice. Zhong Chufeng was startled and glanced at him. At the same time, he also saw Tang Yuanyuan, who hung her head low with a reddened face. In that instant, he recalled what Yuchi Yishu told him on the bus some time back.
Yuchi Yishu said that Tang Yuanyuan had grown up, therefore they shouldn’t mention the word ‘fat’ in front of her. Zhong Chufeng remembered that and had no longer called her fat on purpose. However, when they were choosing a bed, he subconsciously thought that it wouldn’t be safe for her to take the upper bunk, therefore he suggested that she should choose a lower bunk instead. His intention was good, and he didn’t mean to hurt her. In that instant, he was utterly embarrassed.
Just then, Meng Kefei stepped in and held Tang Yuanyuan’s hands before saying, “We’re friends, so why don’t you sleep on the lower bunk while I sleep on the upper bunk? This way, we can whisper to each other at night. I sleep well at night, therefore I won’t disturb you.”
“Kefei…”
“If you sleep on the same bunk bed with someone else who sleeps late in the night or who is restless, you surely won’t be able to sleep. Just take the same bunk bed with me.”
Tang Yuanyuan eventually nodded and said in a lowered voice, “Thanks.”
“Don’t mention it. We’re good friends.”
Upon choosing the beds, they started cleaning up the dormitory. Although Yuchi Yishu and Zhong Chufeng were men, they were efficient and soon cleaned up the room. Meanwhile, the girls were responsible for making the beds. Just then, two other roommates had arrived.
They came in together. Both of them were tall, slender, and fair-skinned girls, who were dressed in fashionable clothes. When they came into the room, they were followed by a few guys who helped them carry the suitcases. However, they never expected that other people had arrived before them. Noticing that the room had been cleaned up, they raised their eyebrows.
When Meng Kefei noticed that their roommates had arrived, she climbed down from the upper bunk and greeted, “Hi.”
Finding Meng Kefei loopy, they pressed their lips together and ignored her. “You guys have already chosen the beds? Why didn’t you wait for us to arrive and discuss it?”
Considering that the girls were going to be roommates, Zhong Chufeng and Yuchi Yishu cleaned up the other bunk bed. Now, they were cleaning the rags in the bathroom. Hearing the noise outside, they traded glances and walked out of the bathroom. Both of them were tall and handsome, and Yuchi Yishu was particularly outstanding. Although they were already twenty years old, they retained their boyish charm and looked like they were seventeen years old.
The new girls were unkind at first, but the moment they saw Yuchi Yishu, they were startled and amazed. He’s so handsome.
“What’s wrong?” Yuchi Yishu questioned. His voice had become low and masculine upon reaching adulthood.
Just when Meng Kefei wanted to speak, one of the new girls rose from the chair and replied, “It’s nothing. It’s just that they had chosen the beds, so we asked them about it. We’ll be roommates from now on, hence I guess it’s okay to ask.”
“Yes. Since you guys have chosen the beds, we’ll take this bunk bed over here.”
“I see that you’ve cleaned up the room. Thanks.”
The attitude of the new girls changed 180 degrees when the guys came out of the bathroom. Meng Kefei was so shocked that her expression turned dark. These new girls questioned them in a condescending manner just a moment ago, but now they looked friendly and kind. Meng Kefei stole a glance at Yuchi Yishu. Although he was handsome, the attitude of these girls changed too quickly. Meng Kefei heaved a sigh and looked at Tang Yuanyuan, who looked startled and obviously clueless. After the new girls said thanks, Tang Yuanyuan put on a smile as well.
“Don’t mention it. We’ll be roommates from now on. My older brother and Chufeng were free anyway.”
Hearing that, the new girls shot her a look. “Is he your older brother?”
“Yes.” Tang Yuanyuan nodded.
“Your brother is very good to you. He even cleaned up the room for you. We’re not so lucky.”
“Oh yes, we’re envious of you.”
The new girls were suddenly hospitable to Tang Yuanyuan. The guys who helped them carry the luggage were drenched in sweat and started making noise upon entering the room. “It’s so hot.”
The moment they came in, the room was filled with the smell of sweat. The new girls contained their urge to roll their eyes and greeted Tang Yuanyuan.
“Oh yes, what’s your name?”
“I’m Tang Yuanyuan. She’s my good friend Meng Kefei.”
Meng Kefei never expected that Tang Yuanyuan would introduce her as well, therefore she had no choice but to put on a smile. “Hi.”
“I’m Zhang Xiaolu.”
“I’m Yuan Yuehan. We both are dancers.”
“Dancers?” Tang Yuanyuan was surprised. “No wonder you have such a good bodily shape.”
The girls had become friends. Since the room was cleaned, Yuchi Yishu looked at his wristwatch and said to Zhong Chufeng, “Let’s go.”
Zhong Chufeng nodded and moved forward before he said, “Hey girls, we have to leave.”
Disappointment was written all over Tang Yuanyuan’s face as she gazed at Yuchi Yishu and asked, “Yishu?”
Yuchi Yishu walked up to her and stroked her head. “I’m going back to school. Have you bought all the essential items?”
“Yes.”
Looking at her rosy skin, Yuchi Yishu suddenly thought of something and inquired, “You have a training session tomorrow. Have you bought sunscreen?”
“Sunscreen?” Tang Yuanyuan batted her eyes. “I forgot about it…”
It wasn’t something she typically cared about. As soon as she finished her words, Yuchi Yishu knocked on her head and questioned, “How could you forget about it?”
