An Changqing and Su Yuehe exchanged a glance. An Changqing was the son of the president of the Superpower Association, and Su Yuehe, being his childhood friend, naturally had a solid background as well.
It was just that she hadn't noticed the material earlier. Now that her attention was drawn to it, she realized it was at least Millennium Black Iron!
A coffin made of Millennium Black Iron? Did it have to be so extravagant?
What exactly was the background of this classmate Chen Guan? How come she had never heard of such a person?
"Dormitory allocation is randomly assigned based on student ID and department. In principle, room changes are not accepted unless there are special reasons and it is approved by a mentor."
The senior girl coughed dryly, bringing the topic back on track. She pulled up a light screen and tapped it a few times: "Classmate Chen Guan, what are your student ID and department?"
Chen Guan provided the information.
After the senior girl entered it, the light screen flickered and displayed the result: "Hmm... East District Dormitory, Green Bamboo Court, Building 7, Room 304. Huh?"
A hint of surprise appeared on her face.
"What's wrong, Senior?" Su Yuehe asked curiously.
"Green Bamboo Court Building 7..." The senior girl pushed her glasses up, her gaze shifting between An Changqing and Chen Guan. "Classmate An Changqing, I remember your dorm is also in Green Bamboo Court Building 7, Room 302, right? Right next door."
As a star among the freshmen, An Changqing's information had long been dug up by the upperclassmen.
An Changqing was also taken aback, then nodded: "Yes."
He looked at Chen Guan, also somewhat surprised by this coincidence.
Chen Guan's heart skipped a beat.
Arranged by the system? Or purely a coincidence? However, living next door to the protagonist was simply an ongoing opportunity for interaction delivered right to his doorstep. It seemed today's mad dash was absolutely worth it.
[Holy crap! Next door?! What kind of heaven-sent fate is this!]
[Arch-nemesis script or best buddies script? I'm fine with either!]
[An arch-nemesis is an arch-nemesis, an arch-nemesis cannot become a wife!]
[Wake up upstairs, there's still a coffin, this script is a bit hardcore.]
[Susu: What about me? My feelings were wasted. (Manual doge)]
[Suddenly I have the motivation to keep following this instant noodle anime!]
The barrage of comments indeed became lively once again.
"As for this..."
The senior girl cautiously walked around the black iron coffin, reaching out to knock on it, which produced a dull, solid echo. "Black iron material, and of extremely high grade... Classmate Chen Guan, is this your... ability-related item?"
She weighed her words carefully.
"You could say that," Chen Guan gave a vague answer. "It's very important to me, and I can't be too far away from it. It's also not convenient to put into storage equipment. I wonder if the dormitory has any relevant regulations, or if there's a place where it can be temporarily placed?"
He revealed just the right amount of difficulty.
The senior girl pondered for a moment: "Academy regulations state that students can bring necessary personal items and ability mediums into the dormitory, as long as they don't affect others or create safety hazards. However... such a large coffin is definitely not suitable to be placed in a public area. Your dorm is a standard double room, your roommate might..."
"I have a single room."
Chen Guan added at the right time: "It was noted on the admission notice that because of my special circumstances, I was given special single room treatment."
This was true. When the system arranged his identity, it had taken the coffin issue into consideration.
The senior girl breathed a sigh of relief: "If it's a single room, as long as you yourself don't feel crowded, placing it in your own room is fine. But please be careful when entering and exiting the corridors and elevators to avoid collisions and causing unnecessary panic among other students. If other students complain, you might need to further communicate and explain to the dorm manager."
"I understand, I will be careful," Chen Guan quickly promised.
With the problem basically solved, the bespectacled senior girl gave some more instructions for freshmen.
When they were about to leave, the bespectacled senior girl took out her phone: "Classmate Chen Guan, do you mind adding me on Green Bubble?"
Green Bubble was a mainstream communication app in this world.
Chen Guan was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't refuse. He took out his own phone and added her contact information.
"Goodbye, Classmate Chen Guan," the bespectacled senior girl smiled meaningfully.
After the group left, Huo Qixing leaned in: "Li Yuqing, have you taken a fancy to this kid?"
The bespectacled senior girl, Li Yuqing, smiled and suddenly pulled out a brick, slapping it onto Huo Qixing's face.
"Huo Qixing, how could I know someone as stupid as you." Li Yuqing nonchalantly put away the brick. Huo Qixing was resistant to beatings, so hitting him a couple of times didn't matter. "Could someone walking together with An Changqing be an ordinary person?"
"Do you still want to win the championship in this year's club activities? You still have to rely on this lady to recruit people, you unreliable guy."
Huo Qixing touched his head and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, Boss Lady is mighty."
...
Leaving the Spirit Maple Pavilion, the three continued towards the East District Dormitory.
With the relationship of future neighbors, the atmosphere seemed a bit more natural.
Su Yuehe also gradually recovered from her earlier guilt and began curiously asking Chen Guan about the local customs of his hometown. Chen Guan dealt with it half-truthfully, further consolidating his mysterious background.
To be honest, he didn't even know his own background. The system hadn't told him much, because this character was originally designed as just a background character. How could there be so much background? It was mostly left blank.
An Changqing didn't speak much, but he listened very seriously, occasionally interjecting to ask about a detail or two, his gaze occasionally sweeping over that silent black iron coffin, deep in thought.
[So much information! Single room, special circumstances, can't leave his side... This setting is getting more and more intriguing.]
[Blind guess: there's a slumbering big shot in the coffin, or it's the source of his power.]
[Or maybe it seals something terrifying?]
[Your imaginations are running wild. What if it's just a storage locker (extra-large)?]
[Storage locker, LMAO. Whose storage locker looks like that and gets carried on their back?]
The speculations in the comments grew increasingly bizarre, and Chen Guan read them with great interest. This was all potential popularity points.
Finally, they arrived at Green Bamboo Court Building 7.
Su Yuehe had parted ways with them earlier; the girls' dormitory was in another building.
Green Bamboo Court Building 7 was a rather modern-looking high-rise building.
The facilities inside were complete, and the environment was quiet and secluded.
When taking the spacious elevator upstairs, the alarm sounded as soon as Chen Guan stepped in.
His face was full of embarrassment. He had forgotten that with the weight of the coffin, being overweight was inevitable.
There were a few other freshmen in the same elevator. Seeing the coffin, they all subconsciously shrank back. Chen Guan quickly apologized and stepped out of the elevator. An Changqing accompanied him out, and they took the stairs together.
"Thank you, Classmate An."
Chen Guan's eyes were bright as he sincerely thanked him.
[Whether he's a classmate or a wife, I have my own definition.]
[If this isn't love~]
[Guan, just marry Little An when you meet him.]
