The counselor reminded them of the time and location for the evening roll call before leaving for other dormitories.
Inside the dormitory, Chen Zhuang and the other two were still somewhat dazed from the shock.
Qin Tian ignored them and sat down at his computer, starting a conversation with Xia Nuannuan via QQ.
Xia Nuannuan’s other two roommates had already arrived.
Through the text messages sent, Xia Nuannuan briefly described her impressions of her new roommates.
Both of them had a more mature aura, which made her and Shen Siqi quite envious.
One of them was gentle in personality and got along very well with them, while the other was a bit difficult to get along with.
“How is she difficult to get along with?” Qin Tian typed, inquiring.
Xia Nuannuan quickly replied.
“I don’t know how to put it. After she arrived, she just sat there playing on her phone and didn’t chat with us. We all tried to include her in the conversation, but she didn’t seem very interested.”
“It’s okay. Everyone has different personalities. Whether you meet roommates you can get along with is also a matter of luck. It’s already great that you and Shen Siqi can chat.” Qin Tian typed, trying to comfort her.
“What are you doing?”
“Chatting with you. The counselor just came by. Did she go to your place earlier?”
“Ah? The counselor went to your place?”
“Yeah, she’s one of our school’s graduate student seniors.”
“Is she pretty?” Xia Nuannuan immediately seized on the key point.
“I don’t know, but she’s definitely not as pretty as you. Besides you, I’m colorblind to all other girls!” Qin Tian typed back very skillfully.
The other side sent a grinning emoji, clearly pleased with his words.
“Zhuang Ge, who is Tian Ge chatting with?” Cao Mingliang, hearing the ping of incoming messages, asked Chen Zhuang in a low voice, full of curiosity.
“Does it even need to be said? His girlfriend!” Chen Zhuang pouted.
“Girlfriend? From high school?”
“Yeah, and she got into the same university as us. She’s in our class too. She came to our dorm before, and she’s incredibly beautiful!”
“Really?”
“If you don’t believe me, ask Ah Zhe.” Chen Zhuang said irritably.
Cao Mingliang’s gaze turned to Zhuang Zhe, who quickly nodded. “She is indeed very beautiful.”
“Let me tell you, that girl isn’t just pretty and has a great figure, she’s also incredibly good to Qin Tian. When she came to our dorm, she even helped wash our quilts and bedsheets. Qin Tian, that guy is a living winner in life, it’s enough to make people envious to death!” Chen Zhuang said with a hint of sourness in his tone.
Cao Mingliang glanced at Qin Tian and said with a smile, “I’m not really interested in girls younger than me. Speaking of which, the counselor just now, I wonder if she has a boyfriend.”
“What are you planning?” Chen Zhuang looked at him with astonished eyes, his expression serious. “Don’t do anything rash. She’s so beautiful and a graduate student at our school. There must be countless guys pursuing her, and she likely has a boyfriend.”
“What do you know? Talented is even better!” Cao Mingliang winked playfully with a smile.
Chen Zhuang was dumbfounded.
“Hobbies are hobbies, but don’t be a real scoundrel, Cao. If you get beaten up for something like this, we won’t help. It’ll be too embarrassing!” Qin Tian interjected unexpectedly.
Chen Zhuang and Zhuang Zhe both nodded in agreement.
Cao Mingliang’s smile vanished, and he swept a resentful look over the three of them. “Are you guys just going to watch me get beaten up? Are we still brothers then?”
“Then… I’ll go up and give him an extra kick!” Chen Zhuang said seriously.
“Fuck.” Cao Mingliang irritably gave him the middle finger.
“Hahaha…”
Laughter from Qin Tian and Chen Zhuang filled the dormitory.
…
…
At seven in the evening, the four of them left the dormitory and walked for nearly twenty minutes before arriving at the tiered classroom for the evening roll call.
Quite a few students had already arrived in the classroom.
Qin Tian quickly scanned the room but couldn’t find Xia Nuannuan and the others, seemingly they hadn't arrived yet.
The four walked towards the seats at the back of the classroom, with Chen Zhuang and Cao Mingliang slyly appraising the girls in the room.
“Cao Bandit, that girl over there is good!”
“Where? No way, Zhuang Ge, what’s your taste? That more mature-looking one at the back is quite good.”
“Get lost, we can’t chat. Tian Ge, Tian Ge…”
“Don’t ask me, I’m not interested!”
As they were whispering, curious glances from inside the classroom were also directed at them.
In the eyes of most students, this group of four was simply too conspicuous.
Chen Zhuang aside, his towering physique, over 1.9 meters tall and built like a basketball player, was striking.
This made Cao Mingliang, standing beside him, appear like a skinny monkey in comparison. What's more, this skinny monkey was wearing a set of designer clothes that looked expensive and a watch, with his hair styled provocatively.
The two walking together were like a gorilla leading a small monkey in fine clothes.
Naturally, Qin Tian, being the handsome one of Dorm 208, became even more noticeable with the two of them as a foil.
As for Zhuang Zhe, walking at the very back…
Well, due to being too ordinary and having too low a presence, coupled with the overwhelming presence of Qin Tian and the other two, he was subconsciously overlooked.
“Zhuang Ge, see? Wherever I go, I’m the center of attention. It can’t be helped!” Cao Mingliang said in a low voice, smoothing his hair with a look of melancholy.
“Heh, get lost. They’re clearly looking at me, okay!” Chen Zhuang said dismissively.
“Is it possible… they’re not looking at you two because you’re handsome?” Qin Tian said with a smile.
The two were stunned and then retorted in unison.
“Impossible!!”
“Alright, whatever makes you two happy!” Qin Tian spread his hands with amusement and stopped paying attention to the two jokers.
As they talked, the four arrived at the last empty row in the left section of the classroom.
“You guys go in, I’ll sit on the outside!” Chen Zhuang nudged with his chin.
“I’m the most handsome, of course I’ll sit on the outside. What are you thinking!” Cao Mingliang refused without hesitation.
Zhuang Zhe looked at the two like they were idiots, walked in without saying a word, and sat in the innermost seat.
“You two stop chattering and hurry up and go in. I’ll sit on the very outside.” Qin Tian interrupted the bickering pair impatiently.
The two looked at him reluctantly.
“I’m saving the outside seats for my Nuannuan, and the girls from her dorm.” Qin Tian said with a calm expression.
“Damn, you have a girlfriend, you’re amazing!”
“Alright, I won’t argue with you, Tian Ge.” Chen Zhuang and Cao Mingliang said one after another, then followed him in and sat down.
Qin Tian left four seats vacant and sat down in the fifth seat.
At this moment, many girls in the classroom were focusing their attention on him, whispering to their newly acquainted friends.
“This guy is really handsome!”
“Indeed. Should we find a chance to get his contact information later?”
“Finally, a guy who looks pleasant.”
“It’s just his two roommates, they seem a bit weird.”
“Who cares? I’m dating him, not his roommates.”
“I feel like his demeanor is also very good. Look how warmly he smiles. He’s really the type I like.”
“Please, look around. Who doesn’t like him?”
