Roommate

Having just vented the stress that had built up over the past few days, Link felt refreshed. He went over to the drinks table, poured himself a glass, and was just about to down it when he sensed someone beside him.

Turning his head, he saw a tall man, slightly taller than Link and probably over six feet one. Before Link could speak, the other man extended his hand. "Hi, Charlie."

Not knowing why the man had approached him, Link still reached out and shook his hand. "Link."

"Which professor are you with? I haven't seen you around here before," Charlie said.

"You know this place well?" Link asked instead of answering.

"My girlfriend... well, more precisely, my ex-girlfriend, was a member of this sorority, so I know this place fairly well."

"Oh!" Link nodded. "I'm a freshman this year. I snuck in on my own."

"I see. No wonder you look so young." Charlie nodded. "But you're pretty impressive. When I first started school, I wasn't nearly as bold as you."

"Thanks." Link accepted Charlie's compliment without hesitation. He didn't think Charlie was being sarcastic; Americans generally didn't beat around the bush when they spoke.

Just then, Link noticed Chris coming out with several female friends. She still looked a little awkward, but she seemed to be fine.

As he looked over the girls at the party again, Link was more appreciative now and no longer felt the same urge to let loose as before.

But his attention was soon caught by a girl with a smoking-hot figure who seemed to have some Latin heritage. He didn't notice that Charlie had already left.

It wasn't just him. The eyes of many men at the party had been drawn to that girl.

As he watched with great interest, someone suddenly spoke beside his ear. "Sophia's hot, isn't she?"

Link turned around and saw Chris.

"Definitely." Link didn't deny it.

Chris continued, "She isn't just hot-bodied. She's got a fiery personality too. Otherwise, with so many guys at this party drawn to her, not one of them would be too scared to go flirt with her."

Link nodded without responding, but Chris continued, "By the way, I saw you talking to Charlie earlier. What did he say to you?"

"You know each other?"

"He's my ex-boyfriend!"

"So earlier, were you getting back at him?"

"Of course not!" Chris hurriedly denied it. "We're completely over!"

"Honestly, even if you were, I wouldn't care." Link smiled. He had only wanted to blow off some steam in the first place, so he didn't care about Chris's original intentions. In an environment where relationships between men and women were relatively open, that kind of revenge didn't mean much anyway. In some sense, it might even have been a form of recovery.

Chris didn't want to dwell on the subject and said directly, "You still haven't answered my question!"

"We didn't talk about anything special. We just exchanged some basic information. Once he learned I was a freshman who had slipped in without an invitation, he said I had guts, then left soon after."

"You're a freshman?" Chris was slightly surprised. She then looked Link over. "No wonder you look so young. But you really are bold."

"Thanks." Link smiled. "Maybe I've gradually gotten bolder because I've always been pretty popular."

"Of course. I believe you really are popular." Expectation flickered in Chris's eyes. "If you want to come to one of our sorority parties again, you won't need to sneak in. Just use my name!"

"Thanks..."

Link casually agreed without giving it much thought. With his abilities, getting into a party wouldn't be a problem anyway.

The two chatted casually. Link could tell Chris was probably somewhat reluctant to let go, but he had only been looking for a fling from the start and had no plans to find a steady partner.

It was like Iris back in high school. At first, she had wanted to make things official with Link, but she had ultimately failed. Link was like an untamed wind, not something a single tree could bind.

At that moment, Sophia, whom Link had been watching earlier, suddenly came over and said, "Hi."

"Hi!" Link hadn't expected her to approach him directly, and naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip away. The two soon began chatting happily...

When Link opened his eyes the next day and saw the unfamiliar surroundings, he thought for a moment before remembering where he was.

Sitting up, Link glanced at the two girls still asleep beside him. They were Chris and Sophia, whom he had met at the party the night before.

Sophia had taken the initiative to chat with Link last night, and Chris hadn't left either. With a few little tricks from Link, the two girls had seemed to be competing with each other.

Only after experiencing it firsthand did Link confirm that Sophia's figure was truly outstanding. In sky-high heels, she looked even taller than him, with long legs, a curvy rear, a slim waist, and a perfectly proportioned chest.

Compared to Chris, Sophia had the better figure.

Before long, Sophia woke with a start.

That woke Chris beside her as well. When she saw Link and Sophia, a moist, springlike warmth quickly appeared in her eyes.

After Link had finished, Sophia and Chris got up one after the other and freshened up in the bathroom.

The two girls had only taken quick showers and were getting dressed when the dorm room door opened and a somewhat overweight man walked in.

"Ah, sorry." Upon seeing Link and the two girls in disheveled clothes, he was slightly startled, then quickly backed out and shut the door.

The two girls sped up a little, then kissed Link goodbye after getting themselves properly dressed before leaving.

Only after Sophia and Chris had left did the man enter the dorm room again. Link smiled and greeted him. "Hi, I'm Link Bennett. You can just call me Link."

A curious smile appeared on the man's chubby face. "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Lang Fiss. You can call me Lang. I'm from Seattle."

"I'm from Texas," Link replied with a smile.

"Texas. That's a nice place!" Lang said with a smile, then lowered his voice slightly. "Those two girls just now..."

"They're Sophia and Chris. I met them at a party last night. They're both third-year students at our school."

"They were third-year upperclassmen?" Lang looked envious. Then he noticed that Link was wearing only shorts, his muscular build fully on display—defined pecs, abs, and V-lines. He couldn't help saying,

"Your muscles are pretty impressive. No wonder those two upperclassmen..."

Fitness was relatively widespread in the United States, but there still weren't many people who could build a physique as defined as Link's.

Lang's body had already begun to go round. He looked like a complete couch potato who had given up on his own physique, yet he still deeply envied Link's body.

Watching the other man busy unpacking his things, Link thought for a moment and said, "I arrived at the school yesterday and have already gotten familiar with the campus. I'm planning to buy a few books later. If you don't know the school well, I can temporarily act as your guide."

"Really? That'd be great!"

"No need to be polite. After all, we'll be brothers living under the same roof from now on."
