âNo, I need to go to your dorm and take a look.â Nian Junting didnât move.
He made it sound like she was really his girlfriend.
âWhat do you want to look at in my dorm?â she asked.
âI need to know where you live.â Nian Junting glanced at her and said, âEvery time I have seen you, you have been in trouble. If I know where you live, Iâll be less worried if someone troubles you again.â
Luosangâs eyelashes quivered slightly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
His words might mean nothing to others, but to her, who was alone and away from home, those words were just so meaningful.
She felt that she was finally not alone, and that she finally had someone who cared about her.
Doesnât he always say mean words? But this time...
âLetâs go.â Nian Junting walked upstairs.
Luosang had no choice but to follow behind him. At first, she worried that her roommates might be in the room, but later, she found that the others hadnât come back.
They had a spring cleaning session in the girlsâ dorm yesterday, and most of the girls liked things clean. Therefore, the room was rather clean and tidy when they got in. Luosangâs bed and closet looked slightly messy, as someone had rummaged through them.
Nian Junting looked around. He paused slightly when walking past Ye Chuenâs table.
âI think Chuen is your distant cousin.â Luosang turned to where he was looking and saw a photo of Ye Chuen which was placed on her table. âItâs such a small world,â she said.
âAh, itâs Ye Chuen. No wonder she looks familiar.â Nian Junting nodded and said, âShe doesnât look like the girl in the photo at all. Thatâs why people say to never believe in girlsâ photos, because they arenât real.â
âEh...â Luosang said, âFortunately, Chuen isnât here. Otherwise, she might want to vomit blood if she heard what you said.â
Nian Junting raised his brows in disagreement and said, âIâve already made that euphemistic enough.â
Luosang really wanted to know what would happen if he didnât try to make his words euphemistic.
âI havenât come to a small place like this for long,â said Nian Junting wistfully. âI have lived like this when I was a soldier. But our dorm was much tidier than yours, and our blankets wasnât folded so unskillfully.â
Luosang lowered her head. Earlier, she felt that her bed was tidy enough.
While she was thinking, Nian Junting suddenly climbed up to her bed and spreaded out her blanket to refold it carefully.
While doing that, he said, âI used to have better blanket-folding skills. I could fold a blanket more perfectly than this.â
Luosang didnât know what to say.
âOi, why is a man here? Who told you go come in?â The dorm manager walked past Luosangâs room and saw Nian Junting from the outside. She angrily walked in and said, âYouâre even on her bed, spreading her blanket. What are you going to do? Itâs the middle of the day! Didnât you see the sign at the entrance? Boys are not allowed in here! You little girls just canât be careful.â
Luosangâs face blushed. âMadam, Weâve talked to Ms. Wang before coming in...â
âEh? You again?â Ms. Xie pointed at her and continued, âI remember you. Youâve impressed me actually. Countless boys were downstairs to tell you that they love you. Some of them lit hundreds of candles, some of them covered the ground with flowers, and some of them even sang for you. So many noises. You have a boyfriend now? I donât think Iâve seen this one before.â
Luosang felt so embarrassed, and somehow, she sensed a stream of cold air coming from the man standing beside her.
âItâs not like that...â she tried to explain.
âYouâve brought him into your dorm, but now youâre telling me that heâs not your boyfriend?â Ms. Xie Glanced at Nian Junting and said, âHe looks prettier than your other suitors. You little girls all like handsome men. But in my opinion, most of the handsome men arenât reliable. Those boys will try everything to get into the girlsâ dorm. Iâve worked as a dorm manager for over ten years, so Iâve seen everything.â
