Ruan Bei and his classmates' dormitory has become a hot topic.
Every year during military training, there are always upperclassmen who, either out of boredom or simply passing by, come to watch the younger students train.
Wearing the same military training uniform, good-looking people can always bring out a different style. The senior students look at the youthful and energetic junior girls, while the senior students look at the handsome and upright junior boys.
Of course, some people see everything. Everyone loves beauty, and no matter what kind of beauty it is, seeing it is a pleasure for the eyes.
Ruan Bei and his friends quickly stood out. Of the four people in their dormitory, three were exceptionally good-looking.
Ruan Bei's most exquisite features are his eyebrows and eyes. His peach blossom eyes are naturally affectionate, and whether he smiles or not, he exudes a youthful vitality.
Despite his clean and unpretentious demeanor, even with his dashing appearance, he doesn't come across as promiscuous.
Qin Gu's features were relatively strong, but not overly rugged. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, with deep brows and a straight nose. When facing outsiders, he exuded a cool and aloof air, with a nonchalant and indifferent demeanor. He was like a flower on a high mountain, unapproachable.
But when he's with his childhood sweetheart, his demeanor softens, his eyes become gentle, and all the starlight seems to fall into his eyes, making them sparkle.
As for Bai Miaomiao, he is a handsome and proud young master with fair skin and innocent doe eyes. Although he is arrogant and awkward, who would be angry with such a good-looking young master?
Incidentally, Bai Miaomiao's real name was revealed during the class meeting. Zeng Peng, the only one in the dormitory who was kept in the dark, thought the counselor had made a mistake.
The name Miaomiao, combined with the young master's handsome appearance, makes him doubly adorable.
Even Zeng Peng, who is the least outstanding in appearance, is tall with long legs and strong arms. His features are not as delicate as his roommates', but he is definitely upright and handsome. Many girls (and boys?) like him.
Initially, it was Ruan Bei and a few others who became famous, as photos of them during military training were taken and posted on the campus website.
None of them are short. Zeng Peng is obviously tall, and the shortest of the remaining three, Bai Miaomiao, is 177 cm tall. Ruan Bei is... one centimeter taller than him, but it doesn't matter, he's not an adult yet and can still grow taller!
In the six months since his rebirth, he has grown several centimeters, especially after practicing Qi cultivation in the mountains, the effect is even more obvious, so exceeding 1.8 meters is definitely not a problem.
Qin Gu was already over 1.85 meters tall, though no exact measurement had been taken. When Ruan Bei and Bai Miaomiao compared heights, they didn't like to involve the other two roommates.
Tall boys with upright posture, straight back, level shoulders, and long legs, when they wear military training uniforms and belts around their waists, their slender waistlines are immediately highlighted.
Who wouldn't be attracted to a boy with such a perfect face and body?
Later, Ruan Bei and his roommates always acted together. The four handsome boys walking in a row were quite eye-catching.
This year's freshmen are having bad luck; of the twenty days of military training, seventeen were sunny days.
Niu Niu, who was originally excited to watch their military training, got bored after watching them squatting and other military postures under the shade of a tree for two days with Ruan Bei, and went to play elsewhere.
Jinda has a large enough area, so Niu Niu runs around and plays everywhere like she's on an adventure, having a great time.
Military training is tough. After half a day of training, even if you know there are delicious food options in the food street outside the school, you don't want to move anymore. You'd rather walk as few steps as possible and eat in the cafeteria just as happily.
Bai Miaomiao didn't even top up her meal card at first; she used her roommates' cards instead.
Thanks to him, the dormitory was equipped with air conditioning, and Ruan Bei was happy to swipe his card for the young master.
Ruan Xi visited a few times, each time bringing food to Ruan Bei and Qin Gu. Now, in the dormitory, Zeng Peng and Bai Miaomiao call Ruan Xi "sister" even more affectionately and loudly than they do with Ruan Bei when they see her from afar.
After finally getting through most of the military training, the last few days finally brought a bit of gloom and cool breeze.
After training that day, as soon as the instructor dismissed them, the group of people in green camouflage immediately dispersed.
Ruan Bei and the others went to the shade of a tree to retrieve their thermos cups. They had already finished drinking the water in their cups. Like the other boys, they had previously gone to the convenience store to buy ice water.
A few days ago, Ruan Xi came over and brought them a big bag of sour plum powder, which was homemade by Ruan's father. It can be drunk after being mixed with water. It is sour, refreshing, and good for cooling down. It is even better when chilled.
For this cup of plum juice, Bai Miaomiao bought a small refrigerator. It was very small, probably just enough to freeze one bottle of water for each of them, but its power was also relatively low.
Jinzhou University has several student canteens with many windows and a wide variety of food options.
Upon entering the cafeteria, Zeng Peng, the tallest member of the group, immediately spotted his target: "That window has fewer people!"
Ruan Bei looked in the direction he was pointing and vaguely saw the words "rice stew," then immediately shook her head: "I'm not going."
Zeng Peng: "Why?"
Of course, it was a local who told him that the risotto at that window was unpredictable in taste, with the ingredients depending on the chef's preference and skill.
Sometimes you get to eat incredibly delicious meals, and other times it's some bizarre combination like oranges and pig's blood. Ruan Bei wouldn't dare gamble with his luck.
Ruan Bei was quite surprised to see a ghost at Jinda University. He heard that there was more than one ghost in the university town, and most of them were ghosts that had been around for many years, and all the grudges and grievances that needed to be settled had been settled.
They don't want to be reincarnated. These ghosts hang out with young people every day, have very modern ideas, and think being a ghost is pretty good. If they were to be reincarnated and lose their memories, would they still be themselves?
The only regret was that they couldn't eat, drink, or have fun, which was a bit boring. Ruan Bei burned a few decks of cards and board games for them and asked them to take care of Niu Niu.
The ghosts told Ruan Bei some information about the school, such as the food in the cafeteria. Although they couldn't eat it, they could see what others were eating and know whether it was good or not just by listening to what people said.
Of course, the truth couldn't be told. Ruan Bei calmly said, "Look at all these people queuing up, and there are so few people at that window. They're all freshmen in camouflage. It must taste bad."
Zeng Peng thought to himself, "That makes sense!"
Bai Miaomiao said, "Then are we going to go to the window with the longest queue? I'm hungry, I don't want to wait..."
As they were talking, someone in a rather long queue waved to them.
Qin Gu had good eyesight, glanced at it, and said, "From the next dorm room."
Although Bosen donated air conditioners anonymously, the fact that they only installed air conditioners in this one dormitory building makes the reason obvious.
Bai Miaomiao arrived late, bringing a group of nannies with her, so many people guessed it was because of him.
Whether I feel bitter or not, at least I have air conditioning thanks to someone else.
Bai Miaomiao ran over first, and Ruan Bei and the others followed.
Bai Miaomiao excitedly asked the boy in the next dorm, "What does this window sell? Is it delicious?"
The boy said, "Spicy hot pot, it's delicious! I had it yesterday, it's fragrant and spicy, and cheap too. Want some? I'll get some for you."
“Then I…” Bai Miaomiao was about to say that she wanted to eat this when Ruan Bei grabbed her arm and said, “I want to eat clay pot soup. Come on, come on, come with me.”
He pulled Bai Miaomiao to join another queue. Bai Miaomiao pouted, "Why don't we eat hot pot? He'll be in line soon and can get our food for us."
Ruan Bei lowered his voice and said to him, "Last time I saw it, the head chef touched his butt and then went to grab vegetables."
Of course, it wasn't him who saw it, it was a ghost. The local ghost told him that of all the large canteens, the chef who made the hot pot was the least clean, and he didn't wash the vegetables properly.
Bai Miaomiao: "!!!"
The young master had never heard of such a thing before. He patted his chest to calm his fear: "Luckily you pulled me away."
The four of them lined up separately and bought clay pot soup and stir-fries, which included rice, vegetables, and soup.
Before eating, Bai Miaomiao held her chopsticks with lingering fear: "Are these two places okay?"
"Don't worry, both of these places are very clean." The food is also good; locals say they have a lot of repeat customers.
After lunch, with plenty of time before the afternoon military training, the four of them went back to the dormitory together to rest for a while. They also made a cup of plum juice and froze it to drink in the afternoon.
As I approached the dormitory building, I saw several boys walking towards me from afar. They weren't wearing military training uniforms; they must have been the upperclassmen from downstairs.
Ruan Bei and his friends didn't pay much attention and walked towards the dormitory building, chatting and laughing.
The boys had obviously noticed them too, and one of them nudged his companion who was looking at his phone with his elbow: "Hey, the younger generation."
Lu Siyuan: "?"
The boy grinned mischievously, "The new freshman is really something else. He's right upstairs from us, and all three of his roommates are on the school's heartthrob list. You, this senior, are about to be pushed off."
Lu Siyuan scoffed, "Boring."
"Come on, can't you have a little fun in life, brother?"
The boy sighed, "You don't understand. Recently, there have been a lot more pretty girls downstairs in our dorm. The last time we had this much of a scene was when we first entered university. Things have changed so much in the blink of an eye. The girls have seen enough of your face, they don't care anymore."
Lu Siyuan didn't want to talk to him, but another boy chimed in, "Speaking of which, one of them looks a bit like Lao Liu."
Lu Siyuan also lived in a four-person dormitory, but since his surname was Lu and he was the youngest among his roommates, they simply called him Lao Liu (Old Six).
"Sigh, now that you mention it, I think so too." The boy who spoke first leaned out and asked, "Is it that one, the one who's really fair-skinned?"
Everyone else craned their necks to look: "They're all pretty fair-skinned, except for that tall guy, who is it?"
"Don't they get tanned during military training? Do they use all sorts of random cosmetics? Do grown men really need to be so fussy?"
If Ruan Bei heard this, he would definitely roll his eyes at her.
Who says guys can't wear sunscreen? The sun doesn't go easy on you just because you're a guy. Sunscreen not only prevents you from getting tanned, but it also prevents sunburn.
Ahem, actually, these were things his sister said, and the sunscreen was also sent by Ruan Xi.
Lu Siyuan was annoyed by the noise, and when he heard them say that someone looked like him, he looked up and glanced at them.
If you don't want to look, fine; but once you do—
Bai Miaomiao jumped out of the group of four, backed away, and talked to the person in the middle with a big smile on her face.
On the outermost side of him was a tall man who completely obscured the two people inside, especially the one next to him.
Lu Siyuan looked away with a headache. How could it be this devil?
She couldn't be touched or scolded, and behind her was Bai Sen, who was extremely protective of his own. He really felt that the Bai family had spoiled Bai Miaomiao. In comparison, his younger brother Lu Sibai was simply too well-behaved.
"What are the names of those people?" Lu Sibai asked.
His roommate said, "I heard that Bai Miaomiao is a super rich second-generation. You don't live on campus, so you didn't notice, did you? Our dorm has air conditioning installed. It's said that his family installed it. The whole dorm building has it. That's so extravagant."
"Bai Miaomiao, what kind of name is that!" the others laughed.
Lu Siyuan didn't want to laugh at all; it was him, just as he suspected.
As for delivering air conditioners, it's not surprising at all for Bosen.
"You guys go back, I have something to do, I'll be going now." Lu Siyuan stopped a short distance from the dormitory building, turned around and prepared to leave.
At the same time, four boys in camouflage walked into the dormitory building. Someone called their names from behind. Ruan Bei turned his head and glanced at a few boys standing and talking not far away.
They were all facing away from each other, and their backs looked somewhat familiar. Ruan Bei frowned and took a few more glances.
They were all my roommates and classmates. After they caught up, we all went upstairs together.
Qin Gu's attention had been focused on Ruan Bei, so he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Bei shook his head: "It's nothing."
You must have mistaken him for someone else. Faces can be similar, let alone back views. He's a freshman; he wouldn't know anyone at this school.
At this moment, Ruan Bei completely forgot that Lu Siyuan was also a graduate of Jin University.
When he returned to the Lu family in his previous life, Lu Siyuan was in his senior year of college, in the second semester. He basically had no classes and wouldn't go to school unless necessary.
Moreover, the project he was preparing was successful, and he devoted himself to his work. Ruan Bei always thought that he had already graduated by then.
Ruan Bei quickly put this trivial matter out of his mind, followed the others, and chatted and laughed as they returned to their dormitory.
Lu Siyuan's roommate asked curiously, "You have a meeting this afternoon, aren't you going back to the dorm? Where are you going to stay?"
In my senior year, I didn't have many classes, but I attended quite a few conferences, some of which were about professional employment. The school had requirements for the number of attendees.
To be honest, it's okay not to attend this kind of meeting, but Lu Siyuan has been very troubled lately. Half a year's hard work has gone to waste, which is a real blow to Lu Siyuan who has always had a smooth life. He won't be able to recover for a while.
Because this project was botched, Lu Siyuan is now in an awkward position at the company. He can't get involved in important projects, and he doesn't care about small, peripheral projects.
His father also told him to take a break for a while, reflect on himself, and improve his abilities.
Lu Siyuan felt wronged. His abilities were not the problem at all; the problem was with his father's special assistant. He was implicated!
But he couldn't say these words out loud. Lu Minghai was both his father and his boss. Regardless of which role he held, speaking out would only damage Lu Minghai's reputation.
Lu Siyuan wouldn't do something so stupid, so he could only keep his grievances to himself. In addition, he felt a bit awkward around Sibai lately, so he hid at school.
I never expected that school wasn't a pure land after all. That little devil from the Bai family actually got into Jinda University and even lives upstairs from me!
His younger brother had always been at odds with Bai Miaomiao, and as a result, every time he stood up for his brother, he ended up clashing with Bai Sen.
But he and Bai Sen are clearly of the same generation, yet Bai Sen has already taken control of such a large group as Bai's Group, while he hasn't even made it into the actual management of Haiming Group.
They are both young masters, but the actual differences between them are huge.
Therefore, deep down, Lu Siyuan disliked the Bai brothers and did not want to meet Bai Miaomiao.
"I won't be attending the afternoon meeting," Lu Siyuan said. "Something urgent has come up, so I have to go."
Does the Lu family lack an air conditioner? It's not like they can't afford it; they just don't want to be so high-profile.
Before they knew it, the military training was over. After saying goodbye to the instructors, the freshmen took off their camouflage uniforms and put on fashionable and stylish casual clothes.
Unfortunately, most of them got more than one shade darker from the sun, and they didn't dare wear some bright clothes at all, because they looked too dark.
Ruan Bei and the others were fine; they applied sunscreen like crazy. Especially after a boy in their class got a sunburn on his neck, even Zeng Peng, who wasn't usually very attentive, would apply sunscreen before setting off.
With sunscreen as a base, and since they were already fair-skinned, they didn't get much darker, even though they were still a bit tanned.
Ruan Bei and Qin Gu were basically the same—Qin Gu told Ruan Bei that circulating spiritual energy within the body could prevent sunburn…
It can prevent sunburn...
It's truly a miraculous effect of spiritual energy; similarly, it can also prevent frostbite in winter.
That's incredible.
Perfect timing! Standing at attention requires you to stay completely still, which is exhausting, so Ruan Bei simply focused on circulating his spiritual energy.
The effect was really good. After more than half a month of military training, the spiritual energy in his body had become much stronger.
Because he and Qin Gu stood at attention perfectly, without moving or swaying, and their expressions were particularly natural and calm. Ruan Bei even had a smile on his face—it was good that he didn't laugh out loud, since his spiritual energy had become stronger.
The instructors even specially selected them as model soldiers in military training.
Ruan Bei didn't really care that much about reputation; the key was the extra credits!
That makes me happy.
Bai Miaomiao was the most unhappy. He had never suffered so much. If his brother hadn't asked him if he could get sick leave to skip military training, and he hadn't confidently said it would be no problem, he would have given up long ago.
Moreover, in one dormitory, there were two outstanding students in military training. Zeng Peng had gained weight because he spent the whole summer playing games, but he still had the foundation and was one of the best in the class during military training.
Bai Miaomiao had a really tough time. She almost collapsed while standing at attention on her first day, while the girls' camp next door hadn't collapsed yet.
Even if he can't compare to his model roommate, he can't be the only one in the dorm who drags everyone down, that would be too embarrassing.
The young master, who was very concerned about his image, gritted his teeth and persevered for the sake of his reputation; it must have been incredibly tough for him.
After finally finishing military training, I really wanted to go home. Fortunately, the National Day holiday was right after the military training, so they had two long classes, and then they would have a holiday.
The day after military training, the boys, having slept in late enough, decided to skip the cafeteria and go outside the school for a nice meal.
However, when they strolled over, they found that the restaurant they wanted to eat at was packed, with more than a dozen people waiting outside.
"What should we do? Should we switch to another one?" Zeng Peng asked.
Ruan Bei and Bai Miaomiao didn't want to switch. They had eaten there once before and had been craving it for a long time during military training. Moreover, when they were discussing what to eat in the dormitory, mentioning this restaurant's dishes completely whetted their appetites.
"Let's get a number first." Qin Gu went to get a number, left his phone number, and then came back: "How about we go somewhere else first and buy some snacks to tide us over?"
"Yes!" Ruan Bei and Bai Miaomiao echoed in unison.
They bought some snacks, but while eating them, they felt too hot. It was the hottest time of day at noon, so they wanted to find a shop to sit down for a while.
However, it was lunchtime, and almost every restaurant was packed. You could tell from the outside that there were no seats inside.
After wandering around for a while, I finally found a coffee shop that wasn't full.
The coffee shop wasn't full, partly because it seems they don't serve full meals, and partly because it's expensive.
Zeng Peng wanted to put the menu back as soon as he got it, but Ruan Bei and Qin Gu were fine. They didn't lack money and had ways and channels to make money, so they remained calm when they saw the high-priced menu.
"My treat!" Bai Miaomiao ordered a bunch of things from the menu.
"No need, I can't always let you treat me." Zeng Peng declined, his expression quite frank and generous: "I won't order, these are all too expensive, and I don't like coffee. You guys order, I'll sit for a while, and we'll go eat together later."
Bai Miaomiao paused, unsure how to begin. She wanted to say that this amount of money was nothing to him and that he shouldn't worry about it.
He used to be very generous in treating his classmates to meals and entertainment, but some people talked badly about him behind his back.
Of course, he knew his new roommates weren't like that, but his brother said that if you really consider someone a friend, you should consider their situation before speaking or acting, and think about whether your words might hurt them.
He still says the wrong thing sometimes, but it's much less common now!
“You’re not just eating for free.” Ruan Bei patted his shoulder. “Consider it tuition. You teach Miao Miao how to play games, and he treats you to cake. Ask him if he’s happy about it.”
Bai Miaomiao was naturally happy to agree; it was a win-win situation! It would solve her current predicament and also allow her to get Zeng Peng to play games with her!
"This isn't right. We're all brothers, why are you talking about teaching me something when we're just playing a game..."
"Then why didn't you agree when I asked you to play together?" Bai Miaomiao asked the probing question.
Zeng Peng: "..."
Because my roommate was so bad at gaming, I almost gave up my gaming addiction.
With Ruan Bei's help, Bai Miaomiao successfully hosted a dinner party. He also wanted to invite Ruan Bei and Qin Gu, but they refused.
Just like Zeng Peng said, we can't always make Bai Miaomiao treat us just because she's rich.
Ruan Bei and Qin Gu neither had a strong preference for coffee; they neither disliked it nor particularly liked it, but ordering a small cake they liked would be a good alternative.
The cake was served, and I'd barely taken a couple of bites when another guest came in.
Ruan Bei and Qin Gu sat side by side with their backs to the door, so they didn't see the person who came in. Bai Miaomiao happened to look up and immediately showed disgust.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Bei asked.
"I saw someone I dislike."
Ruan Bei and the other two subconsciously looked towards the door. Zeng Peng looked blank, Ruan Bei's pupils shrank, and Qin Gu seemed to be deep in thought.
After glancing at him once, Ruan Bei quickly turned her head away, not wanting Lu Sibai to see her.
"Who is it? Is it that tall guy? Why do I dislike him?"
Zeng Peng knew nothing. Two people came in through the door, both young boys. The shorter one was fair-skinned and handsome, with a smile on his face, and seemed to have a very good and gentle temper.
On the contrary, the taller one had dyed her hair gray, wore a black earring in her left ear, and had a tattoo faintly visible on her exposed collarbone.
His expression was somewhat nonchalant, with one hand in his pocket and an arrogant look in his eyes.
When the two of them stood together, Zeng Peng subconsciously thought that Bai Miaomiao was talking about the tall one, since the tall one had an arrogant look on his face that said, "I'm not someone to mess with, I'm looking for trouble."
"No way!" Bai Miaomiao said angrily, "You're blind! It's definitely that shorty!"
Zeng Peng was speechless. "You're not that short, are you? You're only short relative to the guy next to you. Actually, I feel like you two are about the same height..."
"Seeing him makes me angry. What bad luck to run into him here." Bai Miaomiao smashed the small cake to pieces with a fork, her cheeks puffed up with anger.
Ruan Bei completely agreed with him; meeting Lu Sibai was not only unlucky, but also disgusting.
Bai Miaomiao threw down her fork and said angrily, "No way, I'm going to chase him away. I can't stand breathing the same air as him!"
As for why he didn't leave on his own, just kidding, he was here first, why should he give up his place to that shameless Lu Sibai?
If anyone's leaving, it should be Lu Sibai!
