At this moment, An Rou suddenly said, "Junior, although I drew all the animations for this game, I haven't actually played it yet."
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then he understood. Back in 2009, most people were still using Nokia or Motorola phones that had been used for one or two years. The iPhone was not yet widespread, and its price of over 6,000 yuan made it out of reach for most people.
He took out his phone, opened Fruit Ninja, and handed it to An Rou: "Senior, come and experience the fruits of your labor."
An Rou took the phone with great interest and started playing with it.
The two of them finished eating spicy hot pot around 10 p.m. and could have made it back to the dormitory before it closed at 10:30 p.m. However, An Rou was clearly playing games and forgot about the time, while Lin Chen, a freshman, was completely unaware of this.
This meant that by the time An Rou suddenly realized what was happening, it was already 10:40.
"Oh no!!! The dorms are locked! What am I going to do if I can't get back? Am I going to have to sleep on the streets?"
Lin Chen was taken aback: "What time do the dorms close?"
"10:30! It's already 10:40. By the time we get back, it'll be 11 o'clock. Ugh, I'm doomed!"
Lin Chen touched his nose. It seemed he couldn't go back either. Staying out all night on the first day of school was quite exciting.
"Alright, stop wailing. People will think I'm bullying you. Did you bring your ID? Let's just stay at a hotel for the night."
"I didn't bring it. Who goes out to eat spicy hot pot with their ID card?!"
"Then you'll have to share a room with me."
An Rou crossed her arms: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Chen's face darkened: "Then you can sleep under the bridge, I'm leaving."
After saying that, he got up and left. An Rou saw that he was really gone, so she could only follow silently. She was still thinking to herself, "This junior should not know anything, right? Yes, yes, that must be it. He just graduated from high school and is still an innocent young man. I should be safe."
When they reached the nearest hotel, Lin Chen stopped and turned to An Rou, saying, "Wait for me at the entrance for a moment."
An Rou grabbed his arm: "Boss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted your character. Please don't make me sleep under a bridge."
"What are you thinking? You didn't bring your ID card. If I go in with you, we'll need both of our ID cards, understand? I'll book the room first and then come out to pick you up."
"oh."
Lin Chen went in and booked a standard room with two beds. Then he asked the front desk where the supermarket was. The receptionist pointed to the door. Lin Chen thanked her, went out to the supermarket, bought two bottles of water, and then went into the hotel with An Rou.
An Rou nervously followed them inside, afraid that the receptionist would call her down, but she found that the receptionist just glanced at her and acted as if nothing had happened.
An Rou only breathed a sigh of relief after entering the elevator, then turned to Lin Chen and asked, "Why doesn't that receptionist seem to remember that you checked in alone?"
Lin Chen explained speechlessly, "That's just the unspoken rule of the industry. If you ask her if it's okay, she'll definitely say no. But if you skip asking her, she won't bother you for no reason. Got it?"
An Rou shook her head blankly, wondering what was possible and what wasn't.
"You're so stupid! You're about to graduate from your senior year, how come you don't even know this basic common sense?"
An Rou snorted, pouted, and muttered under her breath, "I'm not thirty or forty years old, I'm only twenty-one."
Lin Chen then realized that he was carrying the life experience of his previous life at the age of thirty-five, so he thought that everyone knew about these unspoken rules, but when he was in college, he didn't know about these things.
Upon opening the door and seeing two beds, An Rou finally felt relieved.
Lin Chen stretched and asked, "Do you want to take a shower first, or should I?"
"Huh? Um... I already showered in the dorm. I'll just brush my teeth. I'm going now." With that, she dashed into the bathroom and closed the door.
Lin Chen took out his phone and saw many unread messages in the Shanghai quartet's group chat. He opened it and saw that Shen Yue and Fatty were posting photos. Lin Chen scrolled through them, found the group photo of the Shanghai quartet, clicked to save it, and then replied in the group chat: "As expected, my looks are still so good in Shanghai. From now on, I have a new nickname. Please call me Shanghai's Daniel Wu."
Three vomiting emojis immediately appeared below.
"Brother Chen, are you Daniel Wu or am I Edison Chen?"
"Fatty, please stop being disgusting, or I, Shen Yifei, am really going to throw up."
After a long, rambling conversation, An Rou emerged from the restroom.
"I'm all better now."
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower now." With that, she put down her phone and went into the bathroom.
An Rou glanced around and figured that the bed near the door seemed like the best place to escape, and that her cries for help would be easier to carry. So she decisively got into bed, wrapped herself up tightly in the blanket, leaving only her face showing, and waited nervously for Lin Chen to come out of the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, Lin Chen came out of the bathroom and saw that An Rou was already asleep, so he lay down on another bed and quickly fell asleep as well. He was really exhausted today, having traveled a long way to school and then gone sightseeing in Shanghai.
Soon, Anrou heard soft breathing and fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, Lin Chen woke up at eight o'clock because he had to accompany Shen Yue to register for school that day. He had promised Shen Yue's mother that he would take care of her, and he couldn't let a young girl go to school alone.
Lin Chen got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. An Rou woke up when she heard the noise. The moment her brain started working, she remembered that she had stayed out with a boy yesterday. So she immediately looked down and checked her clothes. Luckily, they were intact.
Lin Chen walked out of the bathroom and saw that An Rou was awake. He said, "Senior, you can sleep a little longer. I had something to do this morning, so I got up a little early."
An Rou also sat up in bed: "I'm not sleeping anymore, I should go back to school too."
But then she suddenly realized something: she had come out in her pajamas last night. How could she possibly go back to school in her pajamas during the day? That would be incredibly embarrassing.
"Hey junior, could you do me a favor?"
"What's wrong?"
"Go to the mall next door and buy me any clothes. I didn't bring any clothes with me."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then wait for me at the hotel."
Lin Chen went to the shopping mall next door, randomly walked into a women's clothing store, saw a JK uniform that looked pretty good, and asked the clerk to get a set in An Rou's size.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Chen handed the clothes to An Rou and hurriedly left, saying, "I'm leaving now. Go back to school by yourself later. Bye."
An Rou took out clothes from the bag, and a receipt fell out. She picked it up and exclaimed in surprise, "Sixteen thousand!"
This is way too expensive! But there's no other way now. My junior has left, and I'd be really embarrassed if I went back to school in my nightgown. So be it, 1600 it is. I can just save up and pay this capitalist back later.
An Rou changed into her JK uniform and looked at herself in the mirror. If Lin Chen were here, he would definitely shout, "Subarashii!"
