Shi Jing closed his eyes briefly before turning his head and asking,
“Who came up with the dorm group name?”
Gao Lang silently raised a finger and pointed at Tao Qi’an, who was sitting nearby gnawing on a chicken drumstick.
To be fair, Tao Qi’an was quite delicate-looking.
He had naturally curly hair, fair skin, and the appearance of an adorable puppy that would earn countless second glances on the street.
At that moment, however, he was holding a chicken drumstick in one hand, his mouth stuffed full of food, and staring innocently at Shi Jing.
Shi Jing couldn’t bear to look.
Lowering his head, he glanced at the group name again.
— 4 Sailor Beauties
A vein immediately twitched on his forehead.
Seeing his reaction, Tao Qi’an hurriedly said,
“What? You don’t like it? I’ll change it right away.”
Shi Jing had originally intended to politely say, “It’s fine.”
But those two words rolled around in his mouth for a long time before he swallowed them back down.
He couldn’t accept it.
If Qin Yu found out, he would probably laugh himself to death.
Tao Qi’an moved with astonishing speed.
“Changed it.”
“I’ll take a look.”
Gao Lang checked his phone and nodded.
“This one’s pretty good.”
Shi Jing glanced at it and immediately put his phone down again.
— Lanjing Tough Guys Group
How was that any better?!
Still, compared to the previous one, this was at least tolerable.
As one of the nation’s top universities, Lan University naturally had excellent facilities.
The residential areas alone were divided into several zones.
The residential district where Shi Jing currently lived was the most luxurious one on campus.
Most of the residents here were arts students, including students from the Directing Department, Fine Arts Academy, Music Department, and similar majors.
The Department of Chemistry, where Shi Jing belonged, was assigned to a different residential district.
Unfortunately, he had selected his dormitory too late.
All the Chemistry Department dorms had already been filled, leaving him assigned elsewhere.
His current dormitory was a mixed-major room.
All four roommates studied different subjects.
Gao Lang was in the Department of Physics.
Tao Qi’an was in the Department of Architecture.
As for the remaining roommate, he seemed to be from the Fine Arts Academy.
Shi Jing vaguely remembered Tao Qi’an mentioning it once, but he couldn’t recall the details.
After wandering through the supermarket for about ten minutes, Shi Jing picked up a washbasin and a set of toiletries before heading to the register.
Seemingly casually, he glanced toward the candy shelves.
“Do you have lollipops?”
“Yes.”
The cashier was a young woman with a ponytail and delicate features, probably a student working part-time.
Smiling politely, she introduced the options.
“We have white peach and watermelon flavors. Which would you like?”
Shi Jing coughed lightly.
“Do you have grape flavor?”
The cashier’s smile froze.
Shi Jing immediately noticed.
He frowned.
How could a supermarket this large not carry grape-flavored lollipops?
Looking slightly embarrassed, the cashier explained,
“A handsome guy bought all of them this morning.”
Shi Jing asked,
“What about strawberry flavor?”
The cashier replied,
“Those were bought out too.”
“…”
Who the hell bought that many lollipops?
Wasn’t that a sign of a serious mental problem?
Shi Jing asked,
“Who bought them?”
“He was wearing a mask. I couldn’t see his face.”
The cashier answered honestly.
Grinding his teeth, Shi Jing paid and headed across the street to another supermarket in search of lollipops.
No one would ever imagine that Shi Jing, who usually acted like a rebellious delinquent, loved eating lollipops.
He was also extremely picky.
Only grape and strawberry flavors were acceptable.
As if cursed, he encountered an identical expression of embarrassment from the cashier at the second supermarket.
“Sorry. Those two flavors were completely sold out this morning.”
Unable to buy any candy, Shi Jing returned to the dorm carrying his supplies.
His expression was terrible.
Tao Qi’an had been chatting with students from the neighboring dormitory.
The moment he saw Shi Jing emerge from the elevator with a dark face, his smile disappeared.
Wearing slippers, he immediately scurried back into the room.
Shi Jing: “…”
What a weirdo.
After putting everything away, Shi Jing sat down in his chair, opened Pinduoduo, and ordered a huge bag of grape-flavored lollipops.
Gao Lang suggested,
“How about we go out for dinner together tonight?”
“Sounds good!”
Tao Qi’an sat upright immediately.
“The upperclassmen said the restaurants across from campus are all really good.”
The two of them then turned to look at the remaining roommate.
Shi Jing nodded.
“I don’t have any objections.”
After entering university, the people one spent the most time with would almost certainly be roommates.
Getting along well with them benefited everyone.
Even someone as socially hopeless as Shi Jing understood that.
After receiving his answer, Gao Lang smiled and said to Tao Qi’an,
“Little White, go ask Yue Yu if he’s coming.”
Yue Yu was the roommate Shi Jing still hadn’t met.
Of all the names he had heard so far, this one left the strongest impression.
Yue Yu.
The pronunciation sounded exactly like “jailbreak.”
Tao Qi’an’s face immediately drooped.
“I don’t want to ask him. Why don’t you do it?”
Gao Lang hesitated.
“Uh…”
Shi Jing interrupted.
“Are you guys afraid of him?”
“Not exactly afraid…”
Gao Lang tried to find the right words.
After organizing his thoughts for a while, he gave up.
“You’ll understand once you meet him.”
Tao Qi’an slumped lifelessly in his chair.
“Do you know why Gao Lang calls me Little White?”
Shi Jing made a casual guess.
“Because you’re pale?”
Tao Qi’an smiled.
“Yue Yu said I’m a naïve sweet idiot.”
The three of them had checked in on the same day and had already spent two days together.
Tao Qi’an had originally thought Shi Jing might comfort him.
Instead, Shi Jing fell silent for a moment before nodding seriously.
“His judgment seems pretty accurate.”
Tao Qi’an: “…”
Shi Jing asked,
“Where is he now?”
“On a date.”
Tao Qi’an replied.
Shi Jing had always imagined Yue Yu as a cool guy with a buzz cut, probably at least six-foot-three.
Who would have thought that the real person turned out to be a handsome young man with long hair?
His features were strikingly beautiful.
His narrow eyes curved upward slightly at the corners.
With his long hair draped over his shoulders, he looked like a seductive fox spirit.
When a server led him into the private dining room, his gaze swept across everyone present before eventually stopping on Shi Jing.
Shi Jing was still holding the menu.
The moment their eyes met, Yue Yu suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Shi Jing froze.
Tao Qi’an had originally planned to introduce them.
Before he could speak, Yue Yu sat down directly beside Shi Jing.
“I had no idea our new roommate was this handsome.”
He pulled out his phone.
“Let’s add each other on WeChat.”
As he spoke, he opened his QR code and held it in front of Shi Jing.
Shi Jing opened WeChat’s scanner.
When his eyes landed on Yue Yu’s hand, he paused.
Yue Yu’s fingers were long and fair.
His nails, however, were painted completely black.
Rather than looking feminine, they somehow made him appear even more alluring and sexy.
Noticing his stare, Yue Yu smiled and wiggled his fingers.
“Pretty?”
“They look good.”
Shi Jing was only surprised for a few seconds before calmly adding him.
Resting his chin on one hand, Yue Yu asked,
“Where are you from, handsome?”
“Canghe.”
The moment Shi Jing answered, Yue Yu’s eyes lit up.
“You’re from the same place as Jiang Yu?”
Hearing that name so suddenly, Shi Jing almost failed to react.
Looking at Yue Yu’s sparkling eyes, he asked suspiciously,
“Why are you so excited? Don’t tell me you’re a Jiang Yu fan.”
“No.”
Yue Yu shook his head.
“I just want to sleep with him.”
“…”
The entire room instantly fell silent.
Shi Jing swallowed with difficulty.
Across the table, Gao Lang and Tao Qi’an both wore expressions that grew increasingly dramatic.
Looking at Shi Jing’s frozen face, Yue Yu thought for a moment.
Then realization dawned.
“Did they not tell you about my sexual orientation?”
Gao Lang still looked completely blank.
“Little White and I thought that was your private business, so we didn’t mention it.”
“It’s not a big deal.”
Yue Yu looked directly at Shi Jing.
“I like men.”
Shi Jing: “…”
Tao Qi’an finally couldn’t hold back.
“Weren’t you seeing that campus heartthrob from the Sports Department?”
Yue Yu’s lips tightened.
He looked somewhat annoyed.
“His skills were terrible, and his equipment wasn’t much better. What good is being tall? Damn it, it was like he never finished developing—thin and short.”
Tao Qi’an froze.
If he remembered correctly, Yue Yu had only known that Sports Department heartthrob for two days.
Gao Lang slapped the table excitedly.
“That’s called apical dominance suppressing lateral bud growth!”
