All Living in 402

"I am too!" Wang Yue felt rather conflicted. Though he had never watched this show, he was certain this pretty little girl was one of the plot characters.

Still, the Salted Fish Film and Television System did not seem to require him to know the plot. There were no missions, so he would just go with the flow.

"Seriously? You're not in the Civil Engineering Department, are you?" Zheng Wei widened her huge, adorable eyes, her autumn-water gaze filled with disbelief.

"Yes!" Wang Yue looked at Zheng Wei with utter sincerity, as though to say, I'm being this serious, so it must be true. You should believe me!

Zheng Wei still found it hard to believe such a coincidence, but she did not press the matter any further. The registration desk would confirm their identities soon enough. If he dared lie to her, she would make this guy understand the price of deceiving Jade-Faced Little Flying Dragon.

"I'm Zheng Wei. What's your name?" Zheng Wei asked directly.

"Remember it—I'm Wang Yue!" Wang Yue replied casually.

The two of them chatted as they followed the crowd slowly down the straight, tree-lined path. On either side of the walkway, senior students from every major had set up little tables to receive the freshmen.

As the two of them slowly looked around, two students with enthusiastic smiles—obviously not freshmen—walked over and asked Zheng Wei, treating the 178-centimeter burly Wang Yue beside her like a wooden post. "You're a freshman, right? Which department are you in?"

Zheng Wei answered honestly, "Yes, I'm in Civil Engineering!"

"Civil Engineering? Then that makes you our Junior Sister. We're in charge of welcoming freshmen, so come with us!" As if he had only just noticed Wang Yue beside her, he looked at the two suitcases Wang Yue was pulling and asked, "Is that luggage Junior Sister's? Give it to me!"

Wang Yue glanced at Zheng Wei, then let go of the suitcase in his right hand. The acne-faced one continued enthusiastically making small talk with Zheng Wei, while the shorter one stepped forward and casually tugged at the suitcase. It swayed, but remained where it was.

Zheng Wei said apologetically, "One of the wheels broke when I got off the train."

"It's pretty heavy, huh? Don't worry, Junior Sister. I may look skinny, but I've got muscles!" With that, he actually hauled the suitcase up with effort. Then, gritting his teeth, he said, "What should I call you, Junior Sister? I'm Gong Cheng!"

"Right, Junior Sister, I'm Zhang Kai! Let's find your dorm first and get your luggage settled. We can deal with all those complicated procedures afterward." The acne-faced student introduced himself while offering his suggestion.

"I'm Zheng Wei!" With that, she followed the two of them forward. After a few steps, she realized Wang Yue had not followed.

When Wang Yue saw Zheng Wei turn to look at him, he gave her a slight wave before walking toward a table off to the right.

Seeing that Wang Yue had simply left, Zheng Wei gritted her teeth and shook a fist at his retreating back. That brat actually dared to lie to me. Just wait until I run into you again—I'll show you how I deal with you.

While Wang Yue was filling out his information at the registration desk, he heard a Senior Brother at the table shout to someone trying to sneak away nearby, "Old Zhang, you're pretty lucky! What department is that Junior Sister from?"

The acne-faced student grinned smugly. "A Junior Sister from Civil Engineering!"

The moment he finished speaking, someone among the welcoming students shouted, "Zhang Kai, you're way too ruthless! She's from our School of Civil Engineering! A few freshmen from your School of Environmental Engineering were standing right there just now, and you didn't even bother with them!"

"It's all the same, all the same! Didn't our School of Environmental Engineering merge into Civil Engineering too? We're all one big family!" Zhang Kai wore an expression that said they were being far too formal with him.

Zheng Wei secretly smiled to herself. As an invincibly youthful beautiful girl, she had to remain reserved at a time like this. But then she spotted Wang Yue sitting in the front row of the crowd, filling out his paperwork. Could it be that he had not lied to her after all?

After filling out his information, Wang Yue was about to proceed through the enrollment formalities step by step. But when he turned around, he saw Zheng Wei smiling at him amid the crowd. For one brief instant, his heart started pounding wildly.

"I'm in Male Dormitory 402. If you don't come over to take a look, are you planning to go ask the dorm manager Auntie instead?" Wang Yue would never admit that he had been momentarily dazzled by her just now.

Zheng Wei, who had been pretending to be a quiet beauty, walked over when she heard that. After filling out her information, she discovered that her dorm was also Room 402—of course, in the female dormitory.

Wang Yue leaned over for a look, then flirted, "Wow, what a coincidence! We both live in Room 402!"

"Pah! Mine's in the female dormitory. Come over if you've got the guts! Let's see if Auntie doesn't beat you to death!" Zheng Wei turned and left after saying that, though her slightly reddened ears gave her away.

Zhang Kai and Gong Cheng had thought the beauty had run off, but when they saw her come back, they hurriedly and eagerly led Zheng Wei away.

Wang Yue watched them leave with a cheerful grin before dragging his luggage toward his own dormitory building.

When Wang Yue entered the dorm, he found no one inside, but only one bed remained empty. He was not picky, so he immediately began organizing his things.

After Wang Yue completed his enrollment procedures and returned to the dorm again, he found that everyone had arrived.

The three looked at Wang Yue. A lean boy sitting by the window on the right side of the door wore glasses and looked refined and gentle. He stood, pushed up his glasses, and said, "I'm Zhang Yang, from Heluo, Nanhe Province!"

The equally skinny boy sitting opposite him spoke after Zhang Yang finished. "I'm Han Wen, from Western River."

The chubby boy by the door on the right instinctively turned around as well and said to Wang Yue, "I'm Liu Lei, from Xinyang, Nanhe Province."

"I'm Wang Yue, from Northern River! I'm in Civil Engineering!" Wang Yue tossed the backpack from his shoulder onto his bed. "I'll be nineteen soon! What about you guys?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "The three of us discussed it before you came back. We're all in Civil Engineering, and you should be the oldest! My birthday's in September. Neither of them is eighteen yet—one was born in February, and the other in March."

"All right, then I'm the Boss from now on! Don't worry, I'll take good care of you little brothers!" Wang Yue was in an excellent mood.

Before long, everyone had become less unfamiliar with one another, and the dorm gradually grew lively.

After several days of stumbling through classes, they became somewhat familiar with the school environment. That evening, the four dormmates lingered at the library for a little too long. When they returned to the dorm, there was no hot water left. Only after asking did they learn that hot water was supplied on a schedule.

"Say, why don't we go shower at the public bathhouse? We're all drenched in sweat!" Wang Yue made his first suggestion since becoming the Boss.

"Sure! I was originally thinking of just taking a cold shower in the dorm!" Liu Lei, the youngest and chubbiest of them, agreed with a smile.

"Works for me!" said Second Brother Zhang Yang.

"Then let's go! Let's see what a university bathhouse looks like!" said Third Brother Han Wen.

The four-man bathing group chatted and laughed as they ambled toward the bathhouse. From a distance, they saw Zheng Wei walking over as well, carrying her toiletries.
