Luo Ziling fled back to the men's dormitory building at a rapid pace, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

Because of Ouyang Feifei's indifferent behavior in the car and the recent commotion from Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling's slightly altered impression of the sisters had reverted to what it was before. He once again entertained thoughts of keeping his distance from them and minimizing their interactions as much as possible.

Pushing open the door to his room, he saw the other three guys engrossed in playing "Fight the Landlord."

All three guys had numerous pieces of paper stuck to their faces, looking utterly bizarre. Luo Ziling had no idea what the stakes of their game were.

As soon as Cao Jianhui saw Luo Ziling return, he tore off the papers from his face, tossed aside his cards, and rushed over, "Boss, you finally came back, we were about to post a missing person notice!"

"Boss, you're really living it up, huh? Skipping military training, messing around outside, and only now coming back. We are so envious of you!" Li Fuming also rushed over, grabbing Luo Ziling's other arm.

"Hold on," seeing Wu Longjiang also pounce over, Luo Ziling deftly wriggled out from Cao Jianhui and Li Fuming's arms and gestured for them to pause, "Come on, let's talk. No pulling and dragging!"

"Boss, were you out with Ouyang Huihui again?" Cao Jianhui had a mischievous look on his face, "Don't deny it, someone saw you two going out together!"

"I was treating her grandfather," Luo Ziling didn't deny it. Throwing his backpack onto the shoulder, he plunked down onto his bed and waved off the seated Cao Jianhui and Li Fuming, "Don't ask me anything. I won't say anything even if you do. There's nothing to say, absolutely nothing happened!"

"Boss, don't try to fool us. We'll never believe that there's nothing between you and Ouyang Huihui," Cao Jianhui said with a sleazy grin, "A girl frequently comes looking for you, asking you out, and there are all sorts of arguments and fights between you two. That's the classic 'bickering lovebirds' pattern."

Seeing Luo Ziling on the brink of an outburst, Cao Jianhui quickly stood up. Becoming overly excited, he bumped his head against the bunk above and couldn't help but let out a yelp of pain.

"Serves you right," Luo Ziling mocked with satisfaction, as Cao Jianhui howled in pain, rubbing the bumped spot, "That's what you get for gossiping like a woman!"

"No matter how much you deny it, we won't believe you," Cao Jianhui said, seeming a bit indignant, "Let me tell you, you're not being loyal at all by keeping things from us. Ouyang Huihui is so beautiful and comes from a good family. Plus, she's interested in you and even takes the initiative to seek you out. If you still deny that there's anything between you two, that's really underestimating us and not treating us like brothers!"

"Exactly, exactly," Li Fuming immediately agreed, "Such a beautiful girl, a campus belle, and you're always so fierce to her. She takes the initiative to find you, and you're not even nice to her. You often go out and won't admit there's something fishy going on between you two. Are you waiting to knock her up before admitting there's something between you?"

"They're right," Wu Longjiang also spoke up with his hands on his hips, very indignantly, "If you admit there's something between you and Ouyang Huihui, we'd definitely be proud of you, and it would give us bragging rights in front of our classmates. Look at our dorm's boss—just arrived at the university not long ago and already managed to hook up with the most beautiful and wealthy freshman. What a prideful thing! It's hateful though, you're not admitting it. Don't you know, if you did, we'd all bask in your glory, and it would be much easier for us to find girlfriends in the future."

"What does that have to do with me?" Luo Ziling replied lacklusterly, took off his shoes, lay down on the bed, and took out his cell phone.

He didn't see any missed calls, no text messages, a few WeChat messages but none from the three guys in his room.

"Who just said they were going to post a missing person notice?" Luo Ziling held up his phone, speaking with indignation, "You didn't call me or text me. Hiding here playing cards, is this your so-called concern?"

"We were discussing what you could be up to while playing cards, wondering whether to leave the door unlocked for you. We didn't call or text, afraid of disturbing you, messing up your good time. Think about it. If you were doing something indescribable with Ouyang Huihui and got interrupted by our calls or messages, you'd hate us to death," Cao Jianhui retorted with a shameless laugh.

"Get lost!" Seeing the sleazy look on Cao Jianhui's face when he said that, Luo Ziling was infuriated and leaped up from the bed, aiming a kick at Cao Jianhui.

Cao Jianhui didn't expect Luo Ziling to kick off without a word, and after being fiercely kicked, he yelped and fell onto his own bed, but immediately started giggling and squeezed onto Luo Ziling's bed again. "Boss, tell us the truth, how far has your relationship progressed? Is the day you get a room coming soon, or have you already rolled in the sheets?"

"Do you guys also want to try getting thrown into the swimming pool for a bath?" Luo Ziling said, pretending to go for Cao Jianhui's neck.

Scared, Cao Jianhui screamed and immediately jumped up to escape.

As a result, he hit the upper bunk with a "bang" and started howling in pain again, sounding like a ghost wailing and a wolf howling.

The other two guys laughed heartlessly on the side, taking pleasure in his misfortune.

Knowing that Luo Ziling didn't want to talk more about things with Ouyang Feifei, Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang, although filled with curiosity, didn't ask any further. They had military training the next day and were preparing to wash up and go to bed early.

Without the three guys bothering him, Luo Ziling was happy to enjoy some peace and took out his phone to play.

He saw several unread WeChat messages and immediately opened them. A few were from girls he had added randomly; most were greetings. Luo Ziling replied casually, saying he was busy with something and would chat when he was free.

There was also a message from an online friend named "Yue": "How have these few days been?"

Checking the time, it was two hours ago. Luo Ziling felt a bit embarrassed but still replied: "It's been pretty good, thanks for asking!"

But no reply came from the other side.

Holding his phone, he thought for a bit, then sent a message to Yang Qingyin: "Senior sister, are you asleep?"

Yang Qingyin quickly replied, "It's not even nine o'clock yet!"

"So, what are you doing?" Luo Ziling wondered and added a shy emoji to the message.

"Reading a book! You went out with a beauty, back so early?"

Seeing Yang Qingyin send such a message, Luo Ziling knew that today's outing with Ouyang Huihui had once again become public knowledge. He didn't deny it and replied openly, "Ouyang Huihui's grandfather and my grandfather are old friends; her grandfather owes his life to mine. His old ailment hasn't healed, so I went to check on him!"

Without waiting for Yang Qingyin to reply, Luo Ziling immediately sent another message: "Senior sister, do you have time these next few days? Take me to the Summer Palace again, or how about the Summer Palace?"

"You haven't done what you promised me yet!"

Seeing Yang Qingyin's message followed by a string of playful emojis, Luo Ziling immediately replied, "It can be done on the same day!"

"Then I'll consider it!"
