The dormitory was a four-person room. The two lower bunks already had people putting their luggage there, but they weren’t present there. They must have gone to the cafeteria for lunch. So Su Xi had to choose the upper bunk.
Actually, moving her things over and living on campus was just a formality. There was the apartment across from the school, and Lu Huan was there too, so she probably won’t go back to the dorm to sleep too often.
But she couldn’t very well tell her mom that she planned to spend her entire senior year of high school sleeping at Lu Huan’s place, could she?
Her mom would probably have a heart attack from all the anger.
Therefore, Su Xi honestly chose the bed.
Mother Su walked around the room and frowned: “The sink is a bit dirty. I’ll go downstairs to the convenience store to buy a broom and mop to clean it for you. You can tidy up your things first.”
Su Xi nodded: “Okay.”
After Mother Su left, only Su Xi and Lu Huan remained in the dormitory. Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “Have you finished all the procedures?”
“Hmm.” Lu Huan subconsciously reached into his pocket, but found nothing. He then remembered that he was wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt and trousers from this dynasty.
He took two cards out of his pocket and handed them to Su Xi: “One is a cafeteria card, already topped up with 1,000 yuan. The other is the apartment key card. If you lose the card, the password is your birthday, which will also open the door. Keep these safe.”
Su Xi was filled with anticipation and excitedly glanced at Lu Huan. Lu Huan looked down at her, his eyes and brows also showing a hint of barely suppressed excitement. The two of them seemed to be secretly having a puppy love behind the adults’ backs, both feeling a little guilty.
Especially Su Xi. She couldn’t help but push Lu Huan away, whispering, “Alright, you should leave now. Don’t try to get attention from my mom.”
Helping with her luggage was fine, but if he stayed any longer, her mother would definitely become suspicious.
Lu Huan was a bit too tall, and standing in the narrow dormitory corridor made the dormitory seem very small, which once again made Su Xi’s image of him as a short-limbed little dumpling fade a bit.
He remained unmoved, glanced at the thin upper bunk bed, and said, “I went to the supermarket downstairs when I came. There were so many people shopping there. Aunt shouldn’t come back for at least half an hour. It’s inconvenient for you to climb up and down. I’ll make your bed for you before I leave.”
Su Xi couldn’t dissuade him, so she had no choice but to go with him.
Su Xi opened her suitcase, unpacked some of the clothes into the closet as a formality, so she could explain to her mother when she returned. She planned to take the rest of the clothes directly to the apartment across from the school.
Lu Huan quickly unscrewed all the screws on the railings of her bed, then took out a roll of pink foam wrapped around the iron ladder from her pocket and carefully wrapped it around each screw.
The foam roll was decorated with a pink Kumamon[1] design.
Su Xi was somewhat bewildered by this scene, much like seeing a young general on the battlefield suddenly pulling out a pink Barbie doll. So she leaned over and asked, “Where did you buy this?”
Lu Huan said, “Taobao.”
Su Xi was completely taken aback: “When did you learn how to use Taobao?”
Lu Huan said dismissively, “This thing is extremely convenient. You can just place an order for whatever you want, and someone will deliver it to your door the next day. It’s quite simple. If you don’t know how, just search it on Baidu. I could figure it out in one try. Xiao Xi, is there anything you want to buy? Put it in your shopping cart, and I’ll clear it out for you every few days.”
Su Xi shrugged: “Give me your phone, I want to see what you bought?”
Lu Huan handed her the phone.
Su Xi pulled up a chair and sat down, flipping through Lu Huan’s orders. She discovered that he was quite the spendthrift. Not only had he bought curtains and a refrigerator from Taobao, but he had also bought a lot of swords, spears, and other items. In addition, he had added a lot of fluffy dolls to his shopping cart. She couldn’t help but ask him, “Why are you buying all this?”
Lu Huan said, “Martial arts skills must not be neglected.”
Su Xi: “I meant these dolls!”
Lu Huan hesitated for a moment, then looked at her: “I thought you would like it.”
Su Xi was both amused and touched.
Learning to use a mobile phone was already quite difficult for Lu Huan.
Although he said he used Taobao with ease, it was actually quite challenging for him, as he had never been exposed to such novel things before.
He was really trying to fit into her world.
So, although she wasn’t particularly interested in the few fluffy creatures he had bought, she liked them.
“You guessed right, I like it very much,” Su Xi said with a smile.
Lu Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes revealing the same proud expression he had shown after buying her rouge. He smiled slightly and said in a very domineering CEO manner, “I knew it.”
“Show-off!” Su Xi almost died laughing, and suddenly hooked his neck: “Come here.”
Fortunately, Lu Huan had excellent waist strength; otherwise, he would have been pulled off balance by Su Xi and stumbled. He leaned down slightly and felt Su Xi kiss him on the left cheek.
Lu Huan’s eyes widened, and his ears turned red instantly. His eyes were bright as he quickly grabbed his phone, placed a few more orders, then turned to the side, presenting his right cheek to Su Xi, and remained silent.
Su Xi: “…Get out of here!”
Who wants a Barbie-colored doll that’s considered unattractive even by straight men?
As the two were talking, someone suddenly arrived. Su Xi’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pushed Lu Huan away.
The girl who came in was wearing a long skirt. Her gaze fell on the two lower bunks that had already been occupied, and she frowned unhappily.
When Su Xi registered, she saw the dormitory roster with the class teacher. There were four people in room 506. Three of them were from her class, and the other was from another class. Because it was difficult to assign an odd number of students, she was assigned to their dormitory.
Su Xi took the initiative to greet her: “Hello, I’m Su Xi.”
The girl nodded: “Hello, Yu Pei.”
Lu Huan made up Su Xi’s bed and hung up the mosquito net for her. It was still late summer and early autumn. If Su Xi was too lazy to leave the school at noon and wanted to take a nap in the dormitory, the mosquito net would make her much more comfortable.
The upper bunk was a bit close to the ceiling, and since he was too tall, it was uncomfortable for him to squat on it. So he quickly got up and jumped down.
Yu Pei’s eyes lit up, and her attention was immediately drawn to this boy. She had never seen a boy at school with such outstanding looks and such a distinguished demeanor.
“Your brother?” Yu Pei couldn’t help but ask Su Xi.
Su Xi smiled and said, “My classmate.”
Yu Pei’s expression immediately became even more enthusiastic: “A new transfer student? Otherwise, I would definitely remember you!”
She was being far too enthusiastic. Su Xi thought to herself, “What if she’s taken a liking to our boy?”
Lu Huan was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Xi’s perfunctory answer and corrected her, “Boyfriend.”
Yu Pei’s smile froze on his face.
Lu Huan glanced at Yu Pei and saw that Yu Pei wasn’t the kind of pretty young lady who could attract Su Xi’s attention. Her appearance was quite ordinary. He felt relieved, took Su Xi’s thermos, and went out to get her some hot water.
He left the dormitory, and Yu Pei was still staring at his back.
Seeing this, Su Xi sighed inwardly, thinking, “This is it, we’re doomed.”
When Lu Huan had long hair, he usually wore a baseball cap, so not many people saw his face. But after she took him to get a haircut, he didn’t need to wear a hat anymore, and his incredibly handsome face was fully revealed. If he really studied at her school for a year, she didn’t know how many girls would send him love letters.
What a disaster!
Su Xi’s phone rang. Her mother had bought some things downstairs and couldn’t carry them all, so she asked Su Xi to come down and help her. Su Xi told Yu Pei and then turned and went downstairs.
A short while later, Lu Huan returned with two bottles of hot water. He then took a rag from Su Xi’s luggage, wet it by the sink, wrung it out, and used it to wipe the dust off Su Xi’s desk and chair.
Yu Pei looked at him, not even wanting to unpack her own luggage anymore. She wanted to strike up a conversation but didn’t know where to begin.
After staring at him for a while, Yu Pei’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she asked softly, “Are there many people at the hot water station?”
Lu Huan hadn’t realized she was talking to him yet. He looked up and saw that it was just the two of them in the dormitory.
He replied, “Not many.”
“What’s your name?”
Lu Huan frowned and ignored her.
Yu Pei then said, “Handsome, I have another suitcase downstairs, it’s really heavy, and I haven’t been able to bring it up yet. Could you help me with that?”
Su Xi had just come upstairs with her mother’s newly bought mop and broom. She was about to push open the door when she heard these words. Immediately, with a girl’s sixth sense, she keenly felt that her new roommate had feelings for Lu Huan. She was instantly a little annoyed.
But the little one probably wouldn’t realize it, since modern girls were completely different from ancient girls. Ancient girls were often shy and bashful, while modern girls expressed their affection by directly trying to get close to them.
He couldn’t tell the difference, and might agree.
Su Xi felt a little petty. Moving something was no big deal. Girls were indeed less strong. The cub had always been kind to others. Why should she be jealous?
Why not she go in and ask him to help Yu Pei move it?
