Vicious Male Counterpart Isn’t Competing Anymore

Before he died, Yan Hao could never understand why his parents had always favored his younger brother. They spoiled his brother, and wouldn’t pay any attention to himself, no matter what he did.<...

Chapter 5 Roommates

The Mecha Manufacturing Department sent an admission email to each admitted student, and also indicated the student's class and assigned dormitory in the email. Yan Hao simply packed his luggage, checked out at the front desk, and then went directly to the school's Mecha Department to report.

At school, after paying the tuition, Yan Hao got the password to his dormitory and a black magnetic card.

"With this magnetic card, you can collect some daily necessities and bedding in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory. There are four-piece sets, quilts, pillows, cups and so on. The things are usable, but the quality is average. If you don't like them and want to buy them yourself, you can go to the General Affairs Office to return the card after three days. One magnetic card can be refunded 300 star coins." said the teacher in charge of registration.

"Okay, thank you teacher." Yan Hao naturally knew the use of this magnetic card, but he still patiently listened to the teacher's introduction.

After leaving the registration office, Yan Hao quickly found the location of the dormitory building according to the campus map sent to him in the email. The dormitory of the Mecha Manufacturing Department is not far from the Mecha Department, but it is located to the south and north of the Pharmacy Department. In his previous life, he had been in the Federal University for four years and had never been here. At that time, he was full of thoughts about surpassing Yan Fei in pharmacy, and he spent all day in the laboratory.

A college student who had been in school for four years had never been to a place before. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for himself in his previous life. He had wasted his entire life for someone he hated.

Yan Hao was assigned to dormitory 306, a double room.

The dormitory conditions of the Mecha Manufacturing Department are good, mostly double rooms and single rooms, because most of the students who can study mecha manufacturing come from good families, otherwise they would not be able to buy large amounts of raw materials for their own practice.

Of course, there are also students from poor families. Most of these students have outstanding talents in mecha manufacturing, and then they will be funded and trained by the country, enterprises, or large families. And these funded students naturally have no shortage of money.

Yan Hao came to the dormitory door with his bag on his back, entered the password, pushed the door open, and saw a baby-faced boy coming out of the bathroom.

"He Shao?" Yan Hao had a good memory, especially for people he met after his rebirth.

"Yan Hao!" He Shao naturally recognized Yan Hao, "I was still guessing when you would come."

"You knew I was your roommate?" The admission email only indicated the dormitory number, but did not mention the roommate's name.

"Of course I know. I specifically asked to live in the same dormitory with you." He Shao said with a smile.

"Specially?" Yan Hao looked at He Shao strangely.

"My uncle is the head of the Mecha Manufacturing Department. I asked him to help." He Shao did not hide it and said openly, "You don't mind, do you?"

"I don't mind, but why do you want to share a dormitory with me?" Yan Hao asked.

"I get along well with you." He Shao said with a smile.

Yan Hao looked at him in silence.

"Okay, it's because you have good grades, and I want to make it easier for you to copy my homework in the future." He Shao spread his hands and confessed his fate.

Yan Hao looked at the two beds in the room, one on the left and one on the right, with nothing on them: "Which one are you sleeping on?"

"Any one will do, you pick first." He Shao said indifferently.

Hearing this, Yan Hao walked straight to the single bed by the window on the right and put his backpack on it.

"By the way, I'm going to the store outside to buy bedding later. Do you want to go with me?" He Shao asked.

"No, I'll just go downstairs and get a set later." Yan Hao said as he took out the books from his schoolbag and placed them on the bookshelf next to him.

"Go downstairs to pick it up? Those things distributed by the school are cheap, only three hundred star coins, and the four-piece set is so rough that the skin can be polished." He Shao said exaggeratedly.

"I used all my money to buy books." The Yan family was not short of money. In his previous life, Yan Hao spent a lot of star coins to decorate his dormitory when school started. Especially after he knew that his parents had given Yan Fei a bonus, he also called for some money. Not only did he upgrade his dormitory to a single dormitory, he also bought a lot of extra herbs.

However, in this life, Yan Hao no longer had the desire to compete with Yan Fei, and he was too lazy to ask his parents for money. Although they were his parents, the money was earned by themselves. They had raised him and paid for his college tuition. As for the extra money, they could give it to whoever they wanted.

Yan Hao didn't want to have too much affection for his parents, because if he had too much affection, he would never be able to calm down about their partiality. Only by being psychologically distant from them could he truly stop caring.

"How much is the four-piece set? I'll give it to you." He Shao said generously.

"No need." It was the first time Yan Hao met such an enthusiastic person, and he was a little uncomfortable. After refusing, he didn't wait for He Shao to say anything, and went downstairs with the magnetic card to get the things. After a while, he came up with a lot of things, put them on the bed, and quickly made it.

"Looking at it this way, it's not ugly, just a little too simple." He Shao commented after reading it.

The light grey sheets and the cold white room, without any colour at all, looked deserted and simple, without any enthusiasm for life. This made He Shao, who was used to the hustle and bustle, a little uncomfortable.

Yan Hao was not very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. In his previous life, the things he was particular about were mostly what he saw his parents buy for Yan Fei, and then he bought them himself just to imitate them. In fact, he didn't really like them after all.

Yan Hao didn't have much luggage. Apart from the books on the bookshelf, he only had two sets of clothes. At this time, the sheets and quilts were also laid out. In less than 20 minutes, he had packed up his new dormitory. He straightened up and turned to look at He Shao who was stunned at the side: "Let's go, I'll go buy bedding with you."

"You want to accompany me?" He Shao was a little surprised.

Yan Hao was stunned: "No need?"

He didn't have many friends in his previous life, and spent most of his time alone in the laboratory, so he didn't know how to get along with friends. He just thought that since He Shao invited him and he didn't mind, it would be fine to go. But no matter how he looked at the other party's reaction, it seemed that something was wrong.

"Yes, yes, of course I will. Haohao, you are such a nice and thoughtful person." He Shao hugged Yan Hao excitedly.

Yan Hao didn't buy anything himself, but was willing to accompany him. What did this mean? It meant that he also liked this new friend of his. He had just thought that Yan Hao didn't like him, so he acted so coldly. It turned out that he was a cold-faced person with a warm heart.

Yan Hao's body stiffened, somewhat unaccustomed to such close contact. He pushed the person away and said awkwardly, "Let's go quickly. There are many people reporting today, and there must be many people buying things outside."

"Yes, let's go." He Shao didn't mind Yan Hao's refusal. He had already seen Yan Hao's cold-outward but warm-hearted nature, and he also understood that the other party probably couldn't adapt to his excessive enthusiasm for a while.

The two walked out of the school gate and saw that the commercial street was already crowded with people, mostly new students and parents sending their children to school.

"Here." He Shao squeezed into a beverage store and bought a glass of juice for Yan Hao.

"Thanks."

"Let's go forward. There is a bedding store called Chan in front of us. It is said that they use the textile technology of ancient Earth and weave special fabrics with silk spit out by animals. It is soft, smooth and very breathable." He Shao said as he walked, "My mother bought a piece of clothing from their store. She loves it very much."

Yan Hao followed passively, and the two soon arrived at the door of "Cicada". Perhaps because the things here were too expensive, there were not many people in the store.

"What do you two need?" It was a high-end store with attentive service. As soon as the two entered, a special clerk came up to them to introduce them.

"I want to buy bedding." He Shao said casually.

"Please come this way." Today is the first day of school at Federal University. There is a special bedding area in the store, and the clerk skillfully led the two people there.

He Shao's uncle is the head of the department, so his family is naturally well off. He doesn't even look at the price when choosing things. He just touches anything he likes, and for a while he suffers from decision-making difficulty, thinking that this one is good and that one is good too.

"Haohao, which one do you think is better?" He Shao asked Yan Hao, unable to make up his mind.

"This one, this color is more attractive." Yan Hao said, pointing to a pale green four-piece suit.

"Okay, this is it, wrap it up." He Shao immediately accepted the suggestion.

The clerk smiled and packed the four-piece set, and led the two to the front desk to pay. There was someone checking out in front of them, so they waited for a while. But when the person finished paying and turned around, Yan Hao couldn't help but frowned.

"Brother?" Yan Fei turned around and saw Yan Hao, and was also startled, "Are you here to buy bedding and quilts too?"

"No, I came here with my roommate." Yan Hao shook his head.

Yan Fei looked at He Shao beside Yan Hao, roommate? That means Yan Hao didn't plan to take the exam again next year, but chose the major that the school adjusted.

"Brother, which major have you been assigned to?" Yan Fei asked.

"Adjustment?!" Yan Hao didn't answer, but He Shao on the side shouted in surprise. When did their Mecha Manufacturing Department become a major that can be adjusted?

Yan Fei was startled. Thinking of Yan Hao's proud character since childhood, he certainly didn't want others to find out that he didn't pass the pharmacy exam, so he quickly apologized: "Sorry, I said the wrong thing. I wanted to ask what major you are studying now?"

Yan Hao frowned and didn't want to pay any attention to Yan Fei.

"Hey, is this guy your brother?" He Shao bumped into Yan Hao and asked quietly.

"Yeah." Although he didn't want to admit it, this person was indeed his younger brother.

"Your brother doesn't know what major you are studying?"

Yan Hao shook his head.

"It seems that your relationship as brothers is not very good." He Shao joked.

"It's really not that good." Yan Hao replied.

He Shao raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yan Fei's face, and said nothing.

Yan Fei's face turned pale, and he habitually put on an aggrieved look, holding the shopping bag he had just paid for, and whispered: "My parents miss you very much. If you don't go back to repeat the year, tell them."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Repeat? What are you repeating?" Yan Fei's voice was low, but He Shao heard it clearly. "Does your brother think that you didn't get into the Mecha Manufacturing Department?"

"No." Yan Hao explained, "I originally applied for the pharmacy major, but later changed to the mecha manufacturing department."

"So that's how it is. No wonder he said you were transferred to our major. It turns out you failed the pharmacy major." At this time, the bill had been printed out, and He Shao went over to pay it. "Dude, are your parents particularly partial to your brother?"

Yan Hao looked at He Shao in surprise, with an expression as if asking how did you know.

"Is there anything you can't see? You're so poor that you can only get a suit worth 300 star coins at school, but your brother has the money to buy bedding worth 30,000 star coins." He Shao showed Yan Hao his payment record. A set of bedding cost 30,000 star coins. "Your brother can afford this brand of stuff, so it's obvious that your family is not short of money. And the mecha manufacturing department is obviously the most expensive major, but you're so poor. It's obvious that your parents favor your brother more."

"Is it obvious?" Yan Hao asked back.

"Nonsense, anyone with eyes can see it, okay?" He Shao said.

If anyone with eyes can see it, then were all the people in the previous life blind? Yes, let's just assume they were blind.

"He Shao, I will copy your homework from now on." Yan Hao looked at He Shao with sparkling eyes.

Did he do something to please the top student? How did he suddenly get such good treatment? He Shao was puzzled, but the top student took the initiative to hand in his homework, so he would be a nobody if he didn't copy it.

"Haohao, from now on you will be my real brother."
