Yang Tao noticed that Zhen Tian had some sweat on her forehead, so she picked up an unopened bottle of cola from the table and handed it to her.
"Look, this is the iced cola I just bought. It should still be cold."
"No, thank you." Zhen Tian wanted to refuse, feeling embarrassed, but the cold water droplets clung tightly to her eyes.
"Oh, don't be so polite." Yang Tao stuffed it directly into her hand: "From now on, we're going to be sleeping together for four years."
"Well... thank you."
Zhen Tian smiled shyly.
"Wow, my goodness, how can you be so well-behaved?" Yang Tao really wanted to reach out and rub her face.
Lu Yiran and Lu Lin returned quickly. One of them climbed up to wipe the bed for her, while the other wiped the table and wardrobe for her.
After wiping it once, the three people who went to move the luggage returned.
Feng Li and Zheng An carried the mattresses up, while Zhao Zeyuan followed behind, carrying two large bags of blankets. He also managed to use his little finger to carry a few drinks.
The group put their things down and breathed a sigh of relief: "This school is too big."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhen Tian quickly took out a pack of tissues from her bag and handed them to everyone.
Zhao Zeyuan took the drink he was carrying and handed it to her, saying, "It's hot, have a drink with your roommate."
Zhen Tian took it; inside was a drink from Heytea, a brand she often drinks.
"Thank you, Brother Zeyuan." Zhen Tian took the cup and handed it to each of her three roommates: "It's hot, everyone should drink this to cool off."
"Thanks."
Everyone thanked her, and Zhen Tian, looking at the unfinished cola in her hand, handed her cup of milk tea to her brothers: "You guys drink it, I still have cola."
"The milk tea that you little girls love to drink, the brothers don't drink."
"There's some soda water that Yuzhi prepared in the car; we'll bring some more up later," Feng Li said irritably.
"Then I'll drink it?"
"Drink it."
Zhen Tian inserted the straw into the cup, and the delicious taste made her squint her eyes, just like a cat whose chin was being scratched.
Lu Kai patted her head, a smile appearing on his otherwise expressionless face: "Still like a little kid. You're satisfied with just a little food."
"snort."
Jin Ze deftly unpacked the mattress for Zhen Tian, then lifted it up using only his arm strength, without climbing onto the bed.
Zheng An and the others were stunned.
"Wow, this guy is pretty impressive," Zheng An exclaimed.
"I'll go with you to get your things." Jin Ze really looked down on the strength of young boys these days.
Zheng An, Zhao Zeyuan, and Feng Li, who felt looked down upon: "..."
Four more people walked out in a grand procession, making the dormitory room feel much more spacious.
Lu Lin and Lu Yiran climbed up and laid out a mattress for Zhen Tian.
While sipping her milk tea, Yang Tao exclaimed, "Is your mattress Serta? It must cost three or four thousand yuan. It's such a waste to use it at school."
Zhen Tian turned around, puzzled, and nodded, "I don't know, my family bought it."
“And this quilt of yours doesn’t look cheap just by looking at the packaging.” Yang Tao clicked her tongue: “Tell me honestly, are you some rich second-generation kid from somewhere, the kind who’s rolling in money?”
"What? Of course not," Zhen Tian laughed.
"You don't seem to be lying to me based on your expression." Yang Tao pouted. "I really envy you. You don't have to lift a finger, and so many people are helping you. Look at me, I still have a mess on the table that I haven't cleaned up yet."
Seeing that she was alright, Zhen Tian said, "How about I help you?"
"No, no, no, you mustn't." Yang Tao quickly refused, "Your family doesn't ask you to do any work, what would it mean if I asked you to? That wouldn't be right."
"It's fine."
"Really, it's not necessary."
"……All right."
The group of people who went to pick up the items returned quickly. The bedding that Zheng An was carrying didn't look new, and Yang Tao asked in confusion, "Hey, why didn't you buy a new duvet cover?"
Zheng An's words promptly answered her question.
"Sister-in-law, these are the sheets and duvet covers that the eldest brother told me to wash with laundry disinfectant. He said that if you don't wash them, you're prone to allergies. We don't have a washing machine, so we washed them by hand. I don't know if they're clean."
"It's okay, why did you have to do such a thing, Zhizhi?" Zhen Tian felt extremely embarrassed.
"We men are tough and thick-skinned, what are we afraid of?" Zheng An smiled as he handed the washed items to Lu Yiran on the bed, who quickly made the bed.
"Don't come down, there's also this, a mosquito net and a blackout curtain."
Feng Li handed over the items in her hand as well: "They've all been washed, Tian Tian, you can use them without worry."
"Oh, thank you so much everyone." Zhen Tian was so touched that she didn't know what to say.
"Don't be so polite, you're my little sister." Feng Li smiled slightly.
It's no wonder that only Ji Yuzhi truly understands Zhen Tian; even the mosquito net and blackout curtains are a girly pink.
"Oh, right, and this doll too, the boss picked it out himself. He said you need to hold something while you sleep."
Zheng An then took out a small dinosaur doll that was clean and still smelled nice from a bag.
Zhen Tian hugged him and thanked him again.
"I've hung up your clothes." While everyone was talking, Lu Kai had already tidied up everything. He didn't open the bags inside, knowing they contained things he shouldn't have handled, so he just put them directly into the closet.
"Thank you, Uncle."
There's no denying that many hands make light work; Zhen Tian's bed-making process took only a little over an hour from start to finish.
By the time Lu Yiran climbed off the bed, Zhen Tian's bed was already usable.
Lu Kai glanced at his watch; it was getting dark outside.
He then said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all today. I'll treat you to a simple meal."
"Sweetie, please have your roommates tidy up a bit. We'll wait for you outside."
"Okay, Third Uncle."
Zhen Tian turned around and saw that she didn't have much to pack. She was still wearing the same clothes and carrying the same bag she had brought with her.
"I'll wait for you. You can pack up now."
Zhen Tian closed the dormitory door.
"Let's not go," Jiang Wei suggested.
"It was just a simple meal. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."
Zhen Tian looked at everyone with a smile.
The group exchanged glances, noticing how much the girl was favored; they worried that she might become difficult to get along with later...
"Stop looking, hurry up and clean up." Zhen Tian started with the star fruit.
"All right."
The group didn't keep the men outside waiting too long; they quickly changed their clothes and left with Zhen Tian.
While waiting, Lu Kai searched for hotels.
After they came out, I asked, "Is there a Buick Regal Hotel nearby?"
Jin Yaya, a local, nodded.
"Um."
Lu Kai hailed the car for the girls and told them the location directly.
The group headed towards the hotel in a large procession.
"Shall we go to the Buick LaCrosse?"
Jin Yaya was surprised.
"What's wrong?" Yang Tao asked her.
"The Buick LaCrosse is a six-star hotel."
The group was speechless. Was this just a casual meal?
Upon arriving at Junyue, Lu Kai, familiar with the place, booked a private room and ordered some signature dishes before handing the menu to Zhen Tian: "Ask your roommates if they have any dietary restrictions or what they'd like to eat."
