Chapter 157 Roommate

After accompanying Xia Zhen shopping, Lu Jin was indeed taken advantage of by the girl in a private room while they were eating.

Of course, he was very cooperative.

After dropping Xia Zhen off at her dorm, he returned to his own dorm, where only the two of them were.

The two boys in the opposite beds are named Wu You and Min Le.

Min Le didn't seem to talk much. He wasn't a very enthusiastic person. Wu You and Min Le went to the same high school. According to Wu You, Min Le had a girlfriend he was dating well, but she suddenly dumped him and went abroad. He was still heartbroken.

Wu You and Min Le are opposites. He is very talkative and enthusiastic. When he saw Lu Jin walk in, he pulled Lu Jin to join their conversation, "Lu Jin, have you heard? A very beautiful girl came to the journalism department!"

Lu Jin sat down on the stool next to his bed without changing his expression. "I've heard about it."

Wu You was talking to Min Le about these things, but Min Le wasn't interested at all and just kept reading. She originally thought Lu Jin was also a quiet person, but she didn't expect him to chime in. Wu You immediately moved closer and became even more interested. "I wonder how pretty that girl is. It's only the first day of school and so many people are already talking about her."

Wu You then asked, "Lu Jin, what's that red mark on your neck?"

Lu Jin calmly raised his hand and pulled his collar up a little. "I was bitten."

Wu You said, "It's quite hot today, and mosquitoes are flying everywhere. I don't know if there will be mosquitoes in our dorm at night. My mom even made me bring mosquito repellent. Lu Jin, do you want some?"

Lu Jin: "No need, thank you."

He didn't need it, and Wu You didn't force him. He continued talking about gossip, "It's a pity I didn't see what that beautiful girl looked like. Speaking of which, our high school's school beauty was also very pretty..."

The person reading on the other side paused, turning the pages of their book, and looked intently at the talkative Wu You.

Wu You immediately realized he had said the wrong thing. Min Le had been dumped for several months, but he was still highly sensitive to the mention of his ex-girlfriend.

Wu You cleared her throat awkwardly and changed the subject, "I heard that the beautiful new girl at our school has a boyfriend, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Lu Jin took out a bottle, squeezed out a little cream-like substance, and rubbed it on his hands. He replied with two words indifferently: "Really."

"Huh? It's actually true!" Wu You exclaimed. "I really don't know which guy got lucky and found such a beautiful girlfriend."

Lu Jin lowered his eyes slightly, feeling that what Wu You said made a lot of sense.

Wu You asked curiously, "What have you been wiping over there?"

Hand cream.

Wu You was silent for a moment, then said, "You're a grown man, why do you need hand cream?"

Lu Jin: "She said I need to take good care of myself because I do so much every day."

Wu You: "Who is she?"

Lu Jin: "My girlfriend."

Wu You was shocked.

Even Min Le, who was reading a book, slightly raised her eyes to look at Lu Jin.

Wu You asked uncertainly, "You have a girlfriend?"

Lu Jin: "Mm."

Wu You seemed to sense something, "By the way, how were you so sure it was true that the new school beauty has a boyfriend?"

Lu Jin looked up and said, "If the person you're talking about is a cute girl wearing a white dress and carrying a pink suitcase, and if there's no other girl dressed like that today, then the person you're talking about is my girlfriend, and I'm the lucky one."

Wu You: "..."

Just then, the last person in their dormitory walked in through the door and said with a gentle smile, "What are you talking about? It sounds like you're having a good time."

Wu You said with a blank face, "It's one thing that we have a newly crowned campus heartthrob in our dorm, but we also have a newly crowned campus beauty as our girlfriend. How are we ordinary people supposed to survive?"

The boy at the door blinked blankly.

He was good-looking, and because of his poor health, he appeared somewhat thin, but he would never give the impression of being weak.

In addition, his perfect appearance, gentle temperament, and good personality made him a target of attention for many girls as soon as he appeared at school, and also aroused a sense of crisis among many boys.

But he seemed oblivious to all of this, treating everyone with a warm and welcoming attitude.

Someone had secretly seen his name—Mu Zhijing—when he registered.

A boy who, based solely on his looks, is destined to become a prominent figure in school.

However, apart from Wu You being shocked by the appearance of the handsome man, the other two remained indifferent.

Min Le turned another page of the book in her hand.

Lu Jin was still carefully applying hand cream.

Wu You sighed inwardly. No wonder he had been in a relationship before, or was currently in one. Unlike him, a lifelong single, who had come to a university full of handsome men and beautiful women, he still had to worry about whether he would have any chance to date in the future.

In the girls' dormitory on the other side, the same gossip was taking place.

Zhuang Ya stared at Xia Zhen for a long time without blinking, as if Xia Zhen were some rare and precious thing.

Zhao Xiyu seemed to be playing a mobile game seriously, but she was also occasionally looking up to observe Xia Zhen's situation. They had been wiped out in another team fight, and her teammates were politely typing to ask if the support had gone to the jungle to collect Ganoderma lucidum, but she hadn't seen it.

Xia Zhen finished a bag of cookies and started drinking yogurt. She bit the straw and asked innocently, "Do you want some?"

Zhao Xiyu quickly averted her gaze from peeking at others.

Zhuang Ya, however, took a few steps closer and circled around Xia Zhen again and again, squatting down and standing up, muttering to herself, "How can someone be so beautiful without any flaws?"

Xia Zhen's innocent smile.

Zhuang Ya slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "You've wasted your time studying journalism! You should have gone to film school! With your looks and talent, you could definitely debut as an idol, and I would definitely be a fan of yours!"

Xia Zhen said, "I don't want to be an idol."

Zhuang Ya was a fan of celebrities, and when she heard Xia Zhen say that, she asked curiously, "Why?"

“If I appear on screen, a lot of people will definitely like me, and my boyfriend will be jealous.”

I always feel that she talks in an exaggerated way, but somehow people find it believable. How is that possible?

She keeps talking about her boyfriend, is she just obsessed with romance?

What a pity!

Zhuang Ya still dreamed of the day she could support the beautiful idol on the charts. She shook her head and sighed, "The idol industry has lost a rising star. What a loss this is for us fans!"

Then, Zhuang Ya solemnly declared, "I absolutely do not want to stand next to you on the day of our graduation photos!"

Zhao Xiyu, engrossed in her game, chimed in, "I don't want it either."

Anyone who stands next to Xia Zhen to take a picture is just humiliating themselves!
