[No CP] / [Game Transmigration] / [Multiple Aliases] / [Includes Adventure + Casual, can be read selectively]
After a transmigration, otaku Xu Qian brought his game...
In just one night, Qin You's name swept across the entire Weicheng University forum. Some people even recognized him as the 'Senior Qin' who had become a minor sensation on Xing Video half a year ago. They never expected that he would turn into their junior at Weicheng University.
"Wow, this is the third trending post!" Fang Zhe nudged Qin You's shoulder, winking and gesturing with his eyebrows. "A top-tier reserve of grass-like strength!"
Qin You remained relatively calm. "Isn't today only the first day of reporting? There are still people here, right?" Although he said this, he didn't boast about his good looks. Being humble in the face of 'ability' would be disrespectful, and he wasn't that kind of person.
"Tsk, look at this, someone has already confessed their feelings to you—" Fang Zhe showed his phone to Qin You.
Qin You glanced at it but didn't say anything. A simple "I like you" on social media isn't worth much; it's not even as appealing as a breakfast.
"Let's go. Didn't you want to go downstairs for a run? We can go eat after we finish." Qin You bent down to tie his shoelaces.
"Let's go, let's go—" Fang Zhe didn't forget the promise he made yesterday: he wanted to grow taller! Only by growing taller could he get a girlfriend!
The two of them went downstairs in casual sportswear. Qin You had told Meng Liangchen last night to get up early and go for a run on the track today, and Meng Liangchen had agreed. However, Qin You was worried that Meng Liangchen wouldn't be able to get out of bed at all. It's post-holiday syndrome, you know.
As Qin You had expected, when the time came, Meng Liangchen did not appear on the playground, and Qin You did not send him any more WeChat messages. Instead, he and Fang Zhe started running on the playground.
It's only a little before seven o'clock, and there aren't many people on the playground. Most of them are teachers who live on campus, and there are hardly any young students.
Qin You really liked this kind of morning. It was quiet, and more importantly, the puppet's perspective didn't have so many glaring IDs, making the scene look much cleaner.
Compared to his various online personas, who is currently suffering on his way home from get off work, ah, thinking about it, school life was still the best!
Qin You ran two laps of the 800-meter race at a steady pace, and Fang Zhe next to him kept saying that he needed to slow down, which showed that he was also a weakling with poor physical condition.
"elder brother--"
Qin You looked in the direction of the voice and saw Meng Liangchen, who had arrived late.
"I...I overslept!" Meng Liangchen ran up to him, still panting.
"You must have gone to bed very late last night." Qin You didn't mind being reprimanded. It's understandable that young people lack self-control; they can just adjust gradually.
"After they finished eating, they insisted on taking us to sing karaoke, and almost... they wouldn't even let us into the dormitory building..." Meng Liangchen said breathlessly. He was actually a little unaccustomed to this 'unrestrained' life, perhaps because he was used to being well-behaved. However, he also knew that he had to fit in.
"Let's take a quick lap first," Qin You gestured with his chin toward Fang Zhe, "It'll give him a break and allow him to adjust."
“Okay!” Meng Liangchen joined the group and greeted Fang Zhe. They had met yesterday evening when they left the school, and he knew that Fang Zhe was Qin You’s roommate.
After all, Meng Liangchen had been taken care of by Xu Qian for a semester, and Xu Qian would occasionally make him some health-promoting medicine, so his body was in excellent condition, much better than Fang Zhe's weakling body.
But now, when Meng Liangchen saw Qin You teaching Fang Zhe how to run, that inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in his heart again. However, when he thought that this was actually Xu Qian's puppet, he felt a strange feeling. Although they looked exactly the same, it just felt weird.
Hmm... Perhaps he genuinely felt that Xu Qian was irreplaceable, even if it was an almost identical puppet.
The three of them ran laps around the playground, and when it was almost eight o'clock, they finally stopped and went downstairs.
Qin You and Meng Liangchen, who were walking ahead, looked energetic, while Fang Zhe, who was lagging behind, was exhausted like a lump of mud. If Qin You hadn't grabbed his arm quickly, he might have prostrated himself on the spot.
"Your health... is really bad." Meng Liangchen said what he had been wanting to say all along. To be honest, he felt that Fang Zhe was even worse than he had been in high school.
"Nonsense! I just haven't exercised in too long," Fang Zhe immediately retorted.
Seeing that Fang Zhe still had the strength to refute, Qin You figured it wasn't too serious, so he smiled and said nothing.
As planned, the three of them went to the Fourth Teaching Building, which Fang Zhe strongly recommended. He said that there was a special noodle shop in the cafeteria there that had received unanimous praise from the entire university and was a must-try for visitors to the school.
"My brother has been eating it for two years and he still hasn't gotten tired of it. He goes to his house for noodles every morning without fail," Fang Zhe said with an air of certainty.
"Is it really that delicious?" Meng Liangchen was particularly curious. He couldn't believe what it would feel like to eat a different breakfast every day for a year. He certainly had never experienced it.
"If my brother says it's delicious, then it must be true. He's a very picky eater."
Qin You became curious after hearing Fang Zhe's story. The picky foodie was the pinnacle of the foodie world, a position that no one could match for a long time.
After a while, we arrived at the cafeteria in the fourth teaching building. Strictly speaking, it is a teachers' cafeteria, but because this noodle shop is so famous, it has attracted many students, so it has been added to the students' cafeteria.
When the three of them reached the entrance, Qin You recognized it as a sour rice noodle shop.
In the 21st century, he had a roommate from Guizhou, and that was a local specialty of his area. During the National Day holiday, he and his roommates went to Guizhou to see Huangguoshu Waterfall, and he also tried the sour rice noodles there. They were delicious when dry-mixed, and the taste was very unique.
Qin You immediately stopped when he saw the cafeteria lady about to add a spoonful of soup to his rice noodles. He said, "I don't want soup, I want it dry."
Fang Zhe turned to Qin You, somewhat surprised, "This soup is made with pork bones, and many people come here specifically for the soup. Don't you want some?"
Qin You just smiled, revealing a row of big white teeth, "I think it would taste better if it were dry-mixed."
Meng Liangchen, however, simply followed his brother's example. When it came to food, he always listened to his brother and said, "Auntie, I don't want any soup either."
Fang Zhe hesitated for two seconds, then said, just like them, "Then I won't add any soup."
So the three of them carried three bowls of noodles without soup to their seats.
Qin You added two large spoonfuls of chili oil to his plate. Although the other two wanted to follow suit, they rationally limited themselves to only half a spoonful.
Mix it up, take another bite, and mmm—your eyes light up—this is the taste!
Soon, a normal bowl of noodles was completely finished. Fang Zhe said reluctantly that he must ask the auntie to add more noodles for him next time he comes, as this amount was not enough at all!
After breakfast, the three of them carried the breakfasts they had packed for the other people in the dormitory, which were the same dry-mixed noodles.
Besides Meng Liangchen, four other people had arrived at his dorm, so they needed to carry four sets of food. Qin You's situation was easier; there were only three of them, so he only needed to carry one set. Fang Zhe carried the food, so Qin You carried two sets for Meng Liangchen.
After finishing, the three of them bought three bags of yogurt in the cafeteria. This was homemade yogurt from the school, much cheaper than outside, but the taste was just as good. It was specially prepared by the school for the students.
As Qin You was leaving the cafeteria to return to his dormitory, he heard a sharp sound ahead. Looking up, he saw a suitcase rolling towards them down the slope. The suitcase was rolling very fast and would hit them in a moment—
"Take this." Qin You shoved the breakfast into Meng Liangchen's hands and rushed forward to stop the suitcase. He had initially intended to use his foot, but then thought that it would be bad if he broke it, so he used his right hand instead.
Unexpectedly, this outstretched hand almost failed to stop them all, and it wasn't until another hand was added that they were finally stopped.
Soon, the owner of the suitcase came running down. It was a girl with two braids, glasses perched on her nose, wearing a red T-shirt and a denim skirt. Her voice was trembling, probably still shaken from what had just happened. "Are you alright, classmate? I'm so sorry, so sorry—"
Qin You had sensed it from the moment he stopped the suitcase. The suitcase was incredibly heavy, and he didn't know what was inside. It must have weighed at least forty or fifty pounds. He immediately asked, "What's in your suitcase? It's dangerous to drag it uphill like that."
The girl with the braided hair was a little embarrassed, her face flushed red. She whispered "book" and then asked him, "Are you sure your hand is okay?"
Qin You looked at the girl's thin arms, shook his head, and asked her, "Your dormitory is upstairs?"
The girl nodded, then, as if realizing what the other person meant, waved her hand and shook her head hurriedly, "No, no need, I can drag it up myself..."
"Let me help you, it's too dangerous." Qin You didn't want to see what happened before again; it was just too dangerous.
The girl was still shaken by what had happened, and when she looked at the other person, she blushed. "Thank you so much, classmate, but are you sure your hand is alright...?"
Qin You shook his head again, this little pain was nothing. He turned to the other two people not far behind him and raised his chin at them, "You two go back first, otherwise you won't be able to eat the noodles."
Fang Zhe looked completely bewildered. "Wait, you still remember about the fans at a time like this?!"
Meng Liangchen, however, was used to it and nodded, "Then we'll head back first, brother."
Qin You then turned to the woman with the braided hair beside her, "On the slope, right?"
The girl with the braided hair paused for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Oh right, it's in Dong Jing Building."
Qin You didn't respond again, dragging his suitcase up the slope. The nearly fifty-pound suitcase became very light in his hands. Seeing this, the girl with the braided hair hurriedly followed, glancing at Qin You's hands as she walked, still worried that he might be injured.
After successfully making it up the slope, the two walked a little further and finally arrived at Dong Jinglou.
Dongjing Building is the girls' dormitory of the school. Except for special periods, such as when students need to move their luggage at the beginning of the semester and need the help of boys who are stronger, the dormitory manager usually does not allow boys to enter.
The building manager saw Qin You carrying a suitcase with a little girl standing next to him. She asked them which floor they were going to, noted down the fourth floor, and then opened the door for them to come in.
Fortunately, it was still early, and most students hadn't gotten up yet, so the entire dormitory building was empty, avoiding many awkward situations.
During the break while going upstairs, Su Lingyu, the girl with the braided hair from before, finally had the chance to observe the other person.
He was wearing a plain white letter T-shirt and black athletic shorts, with a sports watch on his wrist. He was tall and slender, almost a head taller than her. His exposed arms and calves had very smooth lines; he wasn't muscular overall, but he had muscles...
Maybe this is what they mean by "handsome guy"...
Qin You carried the fifty-pound suitcase to the fourth floor in one go. He put it down at the top of the stairs, thinking that he didn't need to go any further. The area in front of him was flat, and he could just drag it in.
Su Lingyu mustered her courage and took out her phone. "Um, classmate, let's exchange contact information. Thank you so much for today. I'd like to treat you to a meal."
"Do one good deed a day," Qin You shook his head, "I'll go down first."
"Ah, no, you're leaving..." Su Lingyu watched him go downstairs, but being shy, she couldn't bring herself to ask for his contact information a second time.
Hearing her speak, Qin You looked up as he went downstairs, said nothing, but gave her a smile and said, "I'm leaving."
In that instant, Su Lingyu froze. She seemed to hear her own heartbeat, thump—thump—
