“When you study! Train! Feel pain! That’s... proof that you’re getting better!” He gritted his teeth, his trembling arms supporting him as he stood up.

A humanoid black mist stood beside Dong Ge's bed, two meters tall, its head level with Dong Ge's as he lay on the bed.

Under the silent and invisible gaze of the humanoid black mist, Dong Ge chuckled foolishly, creating an extremely eerie scene.

The next day, Sunday.

Li Changzhou quietly got up, not brushing his teeth or washing his face so as not to wake his roommates, and dragged his aching body directly out of the dormitory.

After having breakfast in the cafeteria, I went to the playground, where there was still dew, and started jogging.

As the sun rose and the temperature soared, he returned to his dormitory.

The three were still asleep. He did push-ups quietly. The loudest sound was when he collapsed onto the cold ground, panting after exhausting himself.

He didn't hear anyone playing on their phone until 10:30, then he took his toothbrush and mug, went into the bathroom, and brushed his teeth while taking a shower.

After he finished washing up, Chen Shao washed up, and then the three of them—Dong Ge, Chen Shao, and himself—went to the cafeteria for a meal.

"Brother Dong, no more vermicelli, just more potatoes!" Big Yellow shouted from his bed.

"Got it!" Dong Ge slammed the door shut.

After returning from the canteen, Li Changzhou did not train, conserving his energy for the evening's operation.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. The person didn't name anyone or say who they were looking for. As the person in bed number two, who was closest to the door, he had no choice but to get up and open it.

"Hello everyone!" A senior student from the small class walked in—the assistant class teacher.

"Hello, senior!" Chen Shao was the first to stand up and greet her, even faster than Li Changzhou.

Dong Ge and Da Huang also greeted their senior sister.

"Playing games, huh? Why aren't you up yet?" The senior student from the junior class smiled and glanced at the two of them.

"What brings you to the boys' dormitory, senior?" Chen Shao asked with a smile.

The senior student had been teaching them since their freshman year. I still remember that summer when she walked into the classroom during evening self-study, her long, cool legs captivating all the boys' eyes.

Back then, everyone had just left the intense and demanding high school environment, and the girls in the class hadn't yet become adults, still dressing conservatively. The older girls in the younger class suddenly became their dream girls for college.

“I’ve come to see Changzhou.” The senior student in the junior class focused her gaze on Li Changzhou.

"Is there something you need, senior?" Li Changzhou asked.

"Senior, please sit down first." Chen Shao turned his chair around and placed it in the middle.

"No need, just a few words, thank you, Junior Chen." After thanking him, the senior student continued to ask Li Changzhou, "My roommate told me that he saw you vomiting blood while running on the track last night, what happened?"

“There’s no blood in it.” Li Changzhou couldn’t help but laugh.

"Senior, my brother-in-law has been working out lately, saying he wants to become a handsome and muscular man," Chen Shao said hurriedly.

"Are you even going to give us a way to survive?!" Dong Ge scratched his thigh on the bed.

Although Li Changzhou didn't want to speak ill of people, Chen Shao really was a man who would forget his principles for the sake of women. He would tell the girls everything in the dormitory as gossip.

The reason he knew this was because every time a girl chatted with him, she would confirm these things.

"Working out?" The junior classmate looked Li Changzhou up and down, then gently squeezed his arm with her weak hand.

"Wow, it's so hard!" she exclaimed, her eyes then fixed on his fingers. "So long!"

"Does the senior like hands?" Li Changzhou pretended to be itchy and separated from the senior.

"Yeah, I'm a hand fetishist, I really like guys with nice hands. What about Changzhou? What kind of girl does he like?"

"Beautiful."

"You can't just be so openly superficial about appearances," the senior student from the junior class laughed.

"Then she's beautiful and has a great figure, with a curvy figure, long legs, and a waist as thin as the 'Criminal Law' textbook."

The senior student from the small class chuckled and chatted for a while in room 407. Chen Shao used the incident of student council officers making freshmen pick up their packages as a topic of conversation.

After the senior left, Da Huang asked Li Changzhou with a lewd smile, "Does the senior have a crush on you? She came to check on you."

"Definitely!" said Dong Ge. "Didn't Li Zongsheng sing a lyric, 'To have the face you've always dreamed of is to have spring—'?"

"Is that how it's sung?" Li Changzhou asked, puzzled.

"What song is this again?" Chen Shao asked.

"We are all just ordinary people!" Dong Ge began with high spirits.

"Born into this world!" The other three in the dormitory sang along.

"Toiling away all day long, never a moment's rest."

"Since we are not immortals, it's inevitable that we have impure thoughts!"

"Bullshit, that's not the next sentence."

"How many men have been driven to anger by the sake of a beautiful woman!"

"That's not it either, wait, my esteemed Green Diamond membership will play it for you!"

"Screw your VIP membership! This song is free!"

Laughter filled the dormitory.

These are also typical scenes in male dormitories.
