"No matter how you live your life, it's only one lifetime..."
The moment Lu Yibei's phone started playing music, he turned it off immediately.
Then, squinting at his phone screen with sleepy eyes, he saw it was 6:20 a.m.
“…Uh…ah…”
Lu Yibei let out a reluctant, sticky sound from deep in his throat.
But after casually putting on a sweatshirt, she jumped off the bed and put on the athletic pants that were on the chair under the bed.
He yawned.
My roommates are still fast asleep; the alarm clock seems to have disturbed them.
Liu Jie frowned, opened his eyes slightly, looked blankly at Lu Yibei under the bed, then turned over and covered his head with the blanket.
Lu Yibei had told her roommates yesterday that she needed to get up early, which was a way of giving them a heads-up.
However, he still changed the previously rousing "The Road to Heaven is Wide and Broad" to this more soothing theme song for Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit.
After putting on his Anta sneakers, Lu Yibei walked over, reached under the covers, and poked Hao Zhangwen with his finger:
“…Get up.” He said softly.
"Um…"
Fatty Hao also made a slightly complaining sound, but he opened his eyes in time. He was still a little confused when he sat up in bed: "...Not Laobei, why are you so punctual?"
Lu Yibei smiled.
Afraid of disturbing the sleep of his two older sons, he didn't say much to Fatty Hao.
He pushed open the door and went to the balcony, where he began to brush his teeth and wash his face.
About five or six minutes later, when Lu Yibei had almost finished his routine and even the facial cleanser foam that his girlfriend had generously gifted him was almost rinsed off, Hao Zhangwen finally walked out of the dormitory yawning.
Instead of washing up immediately, he walked to the railing, rested his hands on it, and gazed at the blazing red sun in the east.
"...Damn it, it's been so long since I've seen a sunrise like this," he exclaimed.
"Hurry up."
Lu Yibei chuckled and urged, "How about I don't bring you next time?"
"Okay, okay."
Fatty Hao yawned again. He went to the sink and put toothpaste on his toothbrush. "Lao Bei, you really do get up on your feet right away. You're so ruthless to yourself, without any procrastination."
"Let me teach you a trick."
Lu Yibei smiled and wiped his face with a towel: "If it's something that can be done in five minutes, don't procrastinate, just do it right away. That will at least cure 80% of your procrastination."
“…”
Fatty Hao was brushing his teeth, unable to speak.
All I could do was watch as Lu Yibei picked up Bigbao, a national-level cosmetics brand, applied it to her face a couple of times, and then went back into her dorm room.
Hao Zhangwen quickly followed him inside.
Lu Yibei took a sticky note and stuck it on the railing of Liu Jie's bed, writing a line of sharp characters on it:
"Don't forget to bring Fatty's backpack!!"
Lu Yibei and Hao Zhangwen will not go back to the dormitory again, but they will be there at 8 a.m. after that.
Brother Jie and Sun'er can sleep until at least 7:30 before waking up.
Given Liu Jie's genius-level intelligence, it's common for him to be forgetful.
Zhao Xun was much more meticulous than him, but Xun'er's characteristic was that she would be in a completely dazed state for the first twenty minutes after waking up.
Hao Zhangwen smiled; Lao Bei really did have a special fondness for sticky notes.
He glanced at the latter's table, where several sticky notes were pasted on the wall behind it.
"Go for it, December!"
"Exercise well, study well, play well, eat well, and rest well. This is the training principle of the Turtle School."
—This line is from Dragon Ball, Hao Zhangwen recognized it at a glance.
Among the miscellaneous sticky notes, Hao Zhangwen also noticed a pink one, which stood out because the font on it was bold and thick.
"To love Ji Qingqian well is the guiding principle of Yi Beiliu's life."
Hao Zhangwen's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Lu Yibei, who was about to leave.
"…Alas!"
As a father and son with a shared heart and mind, Lu Yibei could tell at a glance what Hao Zhangwen was grumbling about.
He said calmly:
"This is what it's like to not have a girlfriend."
"…roll!"
Hao Zhangwen gave him the middle finger.
After that, he went out with Lu Yibei.
As the two of them walked briskly downstairs, Hao Zhangwen remembered Lu Yibei's "five-minute theory".
"What if something can't be done within 'five minutes'? What should we do then?"
"Simple."
Lu Yibei laughed: "Just break it down into 'many five-minute segments'."
"That's too difficult, is it even possible?" Hao Zhangwen asked.
"Oh."
Lu Yibei smiled dismissively, as if stating something easy: "—How could it be possible to do all of that!"
Hao Zhangwen: ...
After leaving the dormitory building with light, unobtrusive steps, Lu Yibei suddenly quickened his pace.
Hao Zhangwen immediately took off and chased after him.
“But doing something is better than doing nothing, right?” Lu Yibei said.
“...That’s true.” Hao Zhangwen smiled.
Two male college students, somewhere between youth and adolescence, ran eastward.
While a smart teenager may be outstanding, a self-disciplined teenager is even more valuable.
…
"I feel that if I can stand on the track at this point, I've already won," Hao Zhangwen said in a deep voice.
Just standing here, he felt that the seed of "self-discipline" had taken root and sprouted in his heart, and all he had to do was wait for it to grow naturally.
Nothing more needs to be done.
However, things in this world are never that simple.
After warming up by stretching his legs, Lu Yibei placed his hands on his knees:
