The two people and the dog stood silently facing each other, the atmosphere extremely awkward.
In the distance, the three boys were laughing hysterically.
Chen Yi's face turned bright red. "I knew you couldn't shave the fur that short! You look like a mongrel, hahaha!"
Lu Yuan laughed until tears streamed down his face. He took off his glasses to wipe his tears, "Brother Yan's face is all red! Brother Yan's face is actually red! That's so rare, hahaha!"
Shen Lingfeng laughed so hard he turned off his microphone and couldn't say a word.
Cheng Zhi, standing inside the door, wished she could disappear into a crack. How could she possibly tell that it was a Samoyed? And she called it a mongrel. Would Qi Yanche kill her in a fit of rage to silence her?
She awkwardly patted the dog's head and then went to get a chicken wing. The dog was happily eating the fries, completely oblivious to its breed.
After a long silence, Cheng Zhi secretly glanced at Qi Yanche. Seeing that he looked very troubled, she felt even more embarrassed. "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I just looked at the fries, right? It's a Samoyed! I must be blind to have mistaken it."
“It’s not your fault, it’s my fault for shaving it like this. But I didn’t do it on purpose. It was windy and rainy a while ago, and its fur was too thick to dry.” Qi Yanche looked up, his gentle eyes meeting Cheng Zhi’s. “If only my phone still had power, I could show you some old photos of French Fries. They were really nice.”
Hearing that Qi Yanche didn't blame her, Cheng Zhi felt relieved. She thought to herself that it really wasn't easy for French fries, braving wind and rain with them every day.
The awkward atmosphere dissipated, and Zheng Wan had finished grilling the sausages. In addition to the agreed-upon bag of sausages, Zheng Wan also gave them an extra box of baby bok choy in tin foil and a box of rice.
Qi Yanche looked at the two extra boxes and wanted to refuse them right away. Ever since he started exchanging supplies with 806, they had always been the ones who benefited, which made him, a grown man, feel really embarrassed.
Zheng Wan noticed his embarrassment and insisted on giving it to him, saying, "Take it. We've been neighbors for so long, and I can tell you're not bad people. We all went to the same school, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
After saying this, Qi Yanche was still hesitant. Zheng Wanke didn't care about that and called his other roommates to come up and get it.
Lu Yuan had smelled the aroma long ago, and when someone called out, he rushed forward. But before he could take two more steps, he saw that familiar face through the iron gate. "Holy crap! Zheng Wan!"
Zheng Wan was stunned, standing there frozen, holding the sausage. What kind of twisted fate was this?
Cheng Zhi glanced at Lu Yuan, then at Zheng Wan, and asked in a low voice, "You know them? Who are they?"
Zheng Wan gave a forced smile, "Hehehe, speaking of which, you know him too. The sweet potato you dug up was planted by him."
Cheng Zhi: "!"
It turned out that this was the classmate they had caused to fail his course. The entire 806 class was now in an awkward situation. After thinking for a while, 806 decided to open the door and invite the four boys in for dinner.
Shen Lingfeng put his arm around Lu Yuan's shoulder. "You're quite the ladies' man, aren't you? You actually know all the girls here." Lu Yuan chuckled awkwardly and said in a low voice, "They're just from the same club, don't get the wrong idea."
Shen Lingfeng was a seasoned player in love, and he quickly saw through Lu Yuan's little scheme. However, he didn't expose it. After all, feelings need some ambiguity to develop; it wouldn't be fun to make things clear directly.
As darkness fell, everyone brought the baked goods into the living room to eat.
The nine people sat together and each gave a brief self-introduction. Cheng Zhi urged everyone to start eating, and only then did they begin to pick up their chopsticks.
Zheng Wan and Lu Yuan sat together. Zheng Wan looked at Qi Yanche with a gossipy eye and said, "Didn't you say there were no handsome guys in the Agricultural College? He's so handsome. It's not nice of you to have such a good-looking roommate and not introduce him to me."
Lu Yuan took a bite of the grilled sausage and shook his head repeatedly, "I'm not lying, there really aren't any handsome guys in the College of Agriculture. I'm a mixed dorm student, and Yan-ge is a biology major."
Zheng Wan punched Lu Yuan without hesitation, "Don't try to play these word games with me, or you'll be eating!"
Qi Yanche eats barbecue as if he's attending a state banquet, sitting upright on the ground.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and handed Qi Yanche a bottle of Coke, "It's just a meal between classmates, you don't have to be so...dignified?"
Qi Yanche was stunned when he heard someone say that about him for the first time. It took him a while to react. He awkwardly touched his neck and said, "It's been too long since I've eaten with so many people. I'm not used to it."
Cheng Zhi pulled the tab on her Coke, took a sip, and smiled. "Indeed, it's been a long time since we've had such a lively time."
After saying those words, the two stopped communicating.
After a long while, Qi Yanche turned his head and asked, "Why are you guys here? Why aren't you staying at school?"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhi thought for a moment before slowly saying, "We've been at school for so long, and nobody cares whether we live or die. Why don't we come out and see if there's still a chance?"
After Cheng Zhi finished speaking, she threw the question back at him.
Qi Yanche took a sip of cola, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, "I feel that staying in school is not a long-term solution."
The college students were having a relaxed meal together, and since they hadn't had barbecue in a long time, they ate very quickly.
After a satisfying meal, the boys were about to head home.
Xiao Feiran quickly pretended to go into the basement, but actually flashed into her space, picked out five of the plumpest sweet potatoes, and handed them to Lu Yuan. "I heard Wan say before that you are a little genius in the agricultural college and that the sweet potatoes you grow are really delicious. These are the ones we found in this villa. You should try them too."
It would be better if he didn't mention sweet potatoes, because the mere mention of them made Lu Yuan's heart ache. However, he didn't know that these people were the ones who dug up his sweet potatoes.
Lu Yuan accepted the sweet potato with tears in his eyes and repeatedly thanked the girls in room 806.
Finally, the four people and the dog left. Cheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and touched her conscience. "We absolutely cannot let him know that we did it! We must take this secret to our graves!"
Zheng Wan: "..." That can't be that bad, it's just a sweet potato, it's not like he stole his wife.
Inside another villa, four boys were sprawled on the sofa, slacking off.
Chen Yi stared blankly at the chandelier, her eyes lifeless. "Now I finally understand why there are men in this world who live off women..."
Shen Lingfeng nodded in agreement, "You know what, you really shouldn't say it."
Perhaps it was the words "living off a woman" that provoked Qi Yanche, who stood up abruptly and declared righteously, "We can't be gigolos! Starting tomorrow, we'll start exercising and practicing fighting. We can't be useless!"
The three men, who normally dislike exercise, were speechless. Oh no, with Brother Yan leading them in exercise, they could meet Grandma sooner than expected.
