In his dazed state, Shang Yan heard someone calling his name.
"Shangyan, we're almost there." Zhou Ping reached out and nudged him, but Shangyan still didn't wake up, so he shook him harder.
"Hmm..." Shang Yan opened his eyes in a daze, and Zhou Ping's magnified face was reflected in his half-open eyes.
"Okay, let's go?" After sleeping for a while, he was incredibly energetic.
Knowing that Zhou Ping hadn't rested along the way, Shang Yan volunteered to carry one suitcase in each hand.
When he picked up Zhou Ping's suitcase, his expression froze, and he used his left arm to lift the suitcase up. "What's in your suitcase...?"
Why is it so heavy?
It feels like there are bricks inside!
"Books, clothes, shoes," Zhou Ping replied earnestly and methodically. "Maybe there are a lot of books?"
"Ah...ah?" I brought a whole suitcase of books from Xijin to Shangjing...
Shang Yan was taken aback, then sincerely praised, "What book? Remember, there's a golden house in books. You should study hard. Can I take a look?"
Zhou Ping reached out and took the suitcase. His suitcase was indeed very heavy, so he should carry it himself. Shang Yan might hurt his back if he carried it.
“It’s not for studying… but if you want to see it, I’ll give it to you when we get there.” He walked ahead, his gaze always lowered to the ground, only raising his head slightly when he needed to see the traffic lights.
Kamijō City is much more prosperous than Nishijin City, and there are many more people... It feels very lively.
Zhou Ping's biggest fear is having too many people, and he is currently following the directions on the map.
Over the years, he can only accept having Shang Yan, this little fool, by his side. If anyone else is next to him, he will still feel inexplicably nervous.
The green light came on, and Zhou Ping let out a soft breath as he led Shang Yan onto the sidewalk.
"We'll go to your school first, get everything sorted out for you, and then I'll go back," he said, genuinely worried about Shang Yan.
Shang Yan nodded and followed Zhou Ping.
The scenery on campus is quite beautiful. It's autumn now, and many maple trees are planted along the path leading to the dormitories, their leaves slowly falling.
After Shang Yan informed the welcoming senior students, he turned to look at Zhou Ping, who was tall and pulling a suitcase.
"Zhou Ping, I'm all better now, let's go," he said, revealing a clean and refreshing smile.
Zhou Ping, who had been keeping his head down, nodded slightly upon hearing this and then followed closely behind Shang Yan.
The dormitory conditions here are indeed quite good. They are basically four-person rooms. The tuition for the excavator major alone is around 20,000 yuan. In addition, there are not many people studying this major. Shang Yan's dormitory only has two people.
Another roommate arrived a day earlier. He had a hazy blue wolf tail hairstyle and slightly upturned eyes, which made him look a bit sinister.
When his new roommate came in, he grinned and said, "Hello, my name is Ji Shaowei."
Shang Yan greeted him enthusiastically, "Hello, new roommate!"
Ji Shaowei walked over and asked with some concern, "Is that your brother behind you? Did your brother take you to school today?"
“It should just be the two of us living in the dorm from now on. Do you need any help?” He reached out to help Shang Yan pull his suitcase in.
A hand with distinct knuckles pressed down on Shang Yan's suitcase. Ji Shaowei paused, and when he slightly raised his eyes, he met a pair of dark and clear pupils.
“…”, he narrowed his eyes and quickly withdrew his hand.
His gaze swept back and forth between Shang Yan and Zhou Ping, who had been standing behind Shang Yan and had little presence.
"He's kind of like an older brother to me, we grew up together and are really good brothers." Shang Yan, oblivious to the strange atmosphere between the two, was enthusiastically introducing him, "His name is Zhou Ping, he's amazing, he got into Peking University, which is right next to ours!"
"Oh...that's impressive." Ji Shaowei keenly sensed that the relationship between the two seemed to be more than just brotherly affection.
He glanced at Zhou Ping standing behind Shang Yan, then tactfully stepped back.
"I suddenly remembered I need to buy some things, you guys go ahead and pack."
After saying that, Ji Shaowei wisely left.
My new roommate's best friend is keeping a close eye on me; it would be impolite not to leave soon.
Ji Shaowei, who was walking up the stairs, suddenly stopped, then his eye twitched. "Wait, that's my dorm too..."
If anyone's leaving, it'll be those two!
Why did he run out like that?
Ji Shaowei shook his head slightly and walked away helplessly.
Shang Yan stood by the bed watching Zhou Ping take out the mattress and bedding, meticulously spread them out for him, and then take out a newly bought pillow and put it on the bed.
Then he opened his suitcase and took out the books one by one.
Shang Yan leaned closer to take a look, and his pupils contracted.
The Sword of the Third Young Master
The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber
...
There's even a copy of "Empresses in the Palace"?
Zhou Ping suddenly placed his hand on "The Legend of Zhen Huan," abruptly stopping his attempt to hide it. Seeing that Shang Yan's gaze remained fixed on the book, he slowly pushed it towards Shang Yan.
"Um...this...is about favoritism." He was a little at a loss for how to introduce the book, which contained a lot about imperial favoritism.
And there are so many schemes and plots!
Zhou Ping was shocked when he first read it, but he found it quite interesting... He thought he might use it in the future, so he kept it.
"Do you want to see it?" Zhou Ping pushed the book further into Shang Yan's arms. "I'll keep one for myself..."
Looking at the book "Empresses in the Palace" in his hand, Shang Yan suddenly felt that this world was quite illusory.
"Alright, I'll have to taste them and see if I can figure out anything!" Since these are Zhou Ping's treasures, he should at least have a taste of them.
Shang Yan neatly placed the books on his desk. Zhou Ping was still standing next to Shang Yan. He asked with some confusion, "Zhou Ping, I've tidied everything up... why aren't you leaving yet?"
Zhou Ping:......
Were they kicking him out so quickly?
Seeing that he hadn't answered for a long time, Shang Yan put down his book and turned around. "I almost forgot, shall I go to your school?"
Almost forgot, Zhou Ping is socially awkward, so if he goes alone... Shang Yan is a little worried.
Anyway, he had everything packed up here. Shang Yan smiled and took Zhou Ping's hand. "If you wanted me to come with you, you should have just said so. Let's go register first, and then buy toiletries and some bedding..."
He pulled Zhou Ping and walked outside.
Most of Zhou Ping's books were left here, so his suitcase was quite light. Shang Yan easily lifted it with one hand, pulled Zhou Ping with one hand, and dragged the suitcase downstairs with the other.
After arriving at Zhou Ping's school, Shang Yan waited for him to register before taking the newly bought mattress and other items and going upstairs with Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping lives in a two-person dormitory. His other roommate is said to be living off-campus, so now he has a dormitory room all to himself.
Shang Yan was filled with envy.
