Push open the door to dormitory 808.
"Hey Xiao, wanna play a game?" Lin Xiao's roommate, Zhu Dapeng, was playing a two-word game when he heard the noise and peeked out to look at him.
Zhu Dapeng, a slightly overweight man from northern China, is a little over 1.7 meters tall and is known as Brother Bird.
Bird Brother actually has pretty regular features, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and smooth, delicate skin. He just likes playing soccer, so he's gotten a bit tanned.
At that moment, a look of amazement flashed in Bird Brother's eyes.
Dig a hole!
Ah Xiao looks so damn handsome in a suit!
"No, I'll take a shower first." Lin Xiao took off his suit jacket, hung it in the closet, grabbed his pajamas and towel, and went to the bathroom to shower.
A moment later, Lin Xiao changed into a dark blue short-sleeved round-neck pajama top, dried his wet short hair, slipped on his slippers, and returned to his desk.
"Ah Xiao, you've been dressing up so extravagantly every day this semester. Did you find an internship? Or are you being kept by a rich woman?" Bird Brother teased.
They are senior students from the School of Computer Science at Jiangnan University.
Lin Xiao smiled faintly and nodded, offering no further explanation.
Then I opened my Apple laptop and the drawing software, and started drawing.
Bird Brother was stunned for a few seconds, his eyes flashing with shock and confusion. He even stopped playing the game and rushed to Lin Xiao.
"No, Ah Xiao, explain yourself clearly. Did you find an internship or are you being kept by a rich woman?"
Lin Xiao glanced at Bird Brother indifferently, smiled, and said, "Guess."
Bird Brother is petrified.
Bird Brother was furious.
Bird Bro went berserk.
No matter how much Bird Brother pressed him for answers, Lin Xiao remained silent. Bird Brother could only curse under his breath and then sit back down to continue playing his game.
Lin Xiaoguo's paintings are very good. They are colorful, depicting landscapes and pastoral scenes with flowers in full bloom. The figures are drawn with just a few simple strokes, yet they vividly portray the expressions of the people.
Previously, all of his paintings were sealed up and bought out, with each painting sold for 200 yuan.
He didn't know why Feng Qi bought his paintings, and when he asked, Feng Qi always gave evasive answers and refused to give a direct answer.
After Feng Qi disappeared, no one bought his paintings, so he posted them on Weibo, where an editor from a publishing house saw them and asked him to illustrate a translated English essay.
It was also 200 yuan per painting, but he only bought the right to use it; the ownership still belonged to him.
In other words, he can repeatedly use these paintings to make money.
He accepted the order; he was to paint 50 paintings in total, for 10,000 yuan.
Compared to the business of being a "simp," painting earns far less, but Lin Xiao still really enjoys the money he earns from each and every stroke of his brush.
Because only when he is painting can he be completely immersed in it and be his true self.
He doesn't have to play another person, constantly on edge, yet he manages to project a relaxed demeanor. Although he earns a lot, he always feels completely drained and exhausted.
Painting is his way of finding himself and recharging.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Lin Xiao finished drawing a picture, inspired by the scene of saying goodbye to Xi Xi, and is now making final polishing and revisions.
At this moment, the third roommate, Fu Wenbo, finally returned.
There were four people living in room 808. The fourth person went to Tsinghua University in Beijing to see his girlfriend.
Bird Bro poked his head out and asked, "Sea King, which girl from Dorm 212 did you go on a date with today?"
Fu Wenbo, a small potato from the south, is neither good-looking nor bad-looking; in any case, he has a sunny appearance.
His parents worked in the public sector, and he relentlessly pursued girls from his freshman year of college. It's no exaggeration to say that he pursued every single girl in his dorm.
But none of the girls liked him. When they got together, they discovered he had pursued every single one of them, and he became the laughing stock of the girls' dormitory.
He thus earned the nickname "Sea King".
Now that he's a senior, he's moved to a different girls' dorm to pursue her.
The Sea King, far from being ashamed, was actually proud, chuckling, "Qin Mengxia! I think this time it's a sure thing!"
Bird Bro immediately became interested: "Tell me more?"
Aquaman was sleeping opposite Birdman. He pulled up a chair and started telling Birdman about their date that day.
Lin Xiao also perked up one ear and listened quietly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
After finishing his sentence, Neptune glanced at Lin Xiao and asked in surprise, "Brother Bird, don't you think Xiao is getting more and more handsome?"
"I used to just think he was kind of handsome, and he was in the same social circle as us. But after not seeing him for a summer, he suddenly seems like a completely different person?"
"Xiaozai, tell me the truth, did you secretly get cosmetic surgery behind your godfather's back?" Haiwang flashed to Lin Xiao's side and looked him up and down.
Bird Bro thought for a moment, "That's because you haven't seen how Ah Xiao looked when he came back in a suit today. Damn, he was so damn handsome! Someone like him doesn't deserve to have friends! So handsome he has no friends!"
Lin Xiao smiled faintly, "I've always been handsome, okay? I just keep a low profile and don't want to attract attention."
His response was a chorus of boos from Bird and Aquaman: "Eek—"
"Sea King, Ah Xiao said he found an internship. Of course, it's also possible he's been kept by a rich woman." Bird Brother said with a mysterious look, "Use your charming little brain to analyze for your godfather which situation Ah Xiao is in."
Aquaman was shocked.
Neptune remained silent.
Aquaman swore.
"Holy crap! Xiaozai, what's going on with you? Tell your godfather!"
Lin Xiao didn't want to lie, but he also didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he vaguely said, "It's nothing, I just did a few jobs to earn some pocket money."
Aquaman and Birdman, unsuspecting, scoffed and muttered curses as they returned to their desks to do their own things.
