Chapter 43 : The Advantage of Being the First
Chapter 43: The Advantage of Being the First
"Senior sister, please don't say that. I'm not that kind of person," said Chen Fan earnestly.
Seeing Chen Fan's serious demeanor, the two senior sisters couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.
Because they were wearing loose sleepwear, their chests kept swaying enticingly.
Chen Fan could confirm with 100% certainty.
That the two were going commando.
Guo Shuai was right.
Girls from big cities are indeed open-minded.
"Heeheehee, this is fun."
"The junior is feeling shy."
Chen Fan scratched his head with an "innocent" look.
"Actually, my standards for a girlfriend aren't high. As long as she's as pretty as you senior sisters, that's good enough."
The two girls opposite him were stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"You've got a sweet mouth."
Chen Fan smiled: "Senior sisters, I'm telling the truth."
"Hmph. I'll give you that, you know how to talk."
"What's your name?"
"Chen Fan."
"Alright. Chen Fan, I'll remember you."
The girl nodded, and she and her friend were about to go upstairs.
When they reached the corner, the girl suddenly turned around and called out.
"Oh, by the way, I'm Mo Siyu."
"If you have any trouble at school in the future, you can come to me."
Watching the two beauties chatting and laughing as they went upstairs, Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh.
This was too insincere.
Why didn't she leave her phone number?
How am I supposed to find her?
Shaking his head to avoid overthinking, he dragged his suitcase and found Room 318.
The dorm room was empty, with only one suitcase on the bed closest to the door, but its owner was not around.
They must have gone out.
The other roommates hadn't arrived yet.
Each bed had a name tag in the top right corner.
Chen Fan found his bed, the top bunk on the right side next to the window.
The bottom bunk was empty, as it had bookshelves and a study desk underneath.
The location was decent.
Chen Fan tossed his backpack onto the bed and left his suitcase beside it.
Then, taking the money and freshman check-in instructions, he went out.
Chen Fan had a clear goal, following the instructions one by one.
Finally, he also bought a mattress, bedsheets, blankets, pillows, a hot water bottle, and a washbasin.
When he returned to the dorm carrying all these items, the room was already packed with people.
Before Chen Fan could say anything, a male student near the door took the initiative to greet him.
"You must be Chen Fan. I saw your photo on the wardrobe. I'm Wu Di, from Dongshan Province. We'll be roommates from now on."
This student proactively took the hot water bottle and washbasin from Chen Fan's hands.
"Thank you."
Chen Fan expressed his gratitude and arranged his purchases neatly.
The parent next to him, who was making the bed for his son, looked towards Chen Fan.
"Student, did you buy these things from the school?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"The bedsheets, blankets, and pillows should be collected from the logistics department. The school provides them uniformly."
"Where is the logistics department? Is it far?"
"Not far, just east of the dorm building."
Chen Fan volunteered: "I'm free later, so I can take them there together."
"What a good kid."
The parent praised Chen Fan with a smile.
"You're not from Yunhai Province, are you?"
Chen Fan shook his head.
"I'm from the neighboring Luocheng."
"I could tell from your accent that you're from around Luocheng."
"By the way, what was your college entrance exam score?"
"603."
As soon as Chen Fan said this, the noise in the dorm room noticeably paused for a moment.
Everyone turned to look at him with astonished expressions.
"Damn!"
The male student sitting at the study desk and wiping it down couldn't help but curse.
"What a powerhouse!"
Even Wu Di, who had just introduced himself, couldn't help but sigh ruefully.
"I scored 586, and I thought I was pretty good, but I didn't expect you to be even better."
The son of the parent who had taken the initiative to chat then commented sarcastically, "I barely made it into Yunhai University, almost getting rejected."
After the introductions, Chen Fan finally got to know all his other roommates.
The bottom bunk near the door was Wu Di, from the major exam province of Dongshan.
Across from Wu Di's bottom bunk was Ma Xiaoshuai, a cool-looking little handsome guy.
It was Ma Xiaoshuai's parents who had proactively chatted with Chen Fan earlier.
Ma Xiaoshuai's top bunk was occupied by Han Xu, a Shaanbei native, and next to Han Xu was Sun Hao, a genuine Sichuanese.
Out of the six people in the dorm room, only Ma Xiaoshuai was from Yunhai Province, while the other five were from other provinces.
Ma Xiaoshuai's parents were well-mannered and took the initiative to invite all the students and parents out for a meal.
The reasoning was that since they were from Yunhai, as the hosts, they should naturally welcome their friends who had come from afar.
The other parents couldn't refuse, so they agreed.
The dining location was chosen to be a rather upscale restaurant off-campus.
It was evident that Ma Xiaoshuai's father knew how to conduct himself.
Their car was a Mercedes-Benz, and he wore a branded watch worth fifty or sixty thousand yuan.
Clearly a wealthy person, but he showed no airs when dining.
He could engage the atmosphere and consider everyone's feelings.
The meal was enjoyed by all, and Chen Fan quickly grew closer with his roommates.
In the end, it was Ma Xiaoshuai's father who footed the bill.
After the meal, the parents left one by one.
Chen Fan and his roommates strolled back together.
Without the parents around, the roommates finally revealed their true selves.
Ma Xiaoshuai took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one up for himself first, taking a long drag as if he had been holding back.
"Anyone else smoke?"
"Give me one," said Han Xu and Sun Hao.
Wu Di and Chen Fan shook their heads.
In his previous life, Chen Fan used to smoke.
But after being reborn, he hadn't smoked yet.
With the three of them lighting up, their camaraderie clearly increased.
"Doesn't our dorm have one more person who hasn't shown up yet?" Wu Di asked proactively.
"I know," Sun Hao replied. "I think his name is Luo Wenjie."
"Hey, it's not easy for us to come together from all over. When we get back, shouldn't we rank ourselves?"
"No problem."
As they entered the campus, Ma Xiaoshuai curiously looked around while giving his companions a mysterious look.
"You guys heard about it? The dorm building we're staying in is actually a female dorm."
"Only the male students from our business school's marketing major get this privilege."
"Brothers, haven't we hit the jackpot?"
At the mention of this, the expressions of the others visibly became excited.
Wu Di chuckled, "I've actually inquired about this matter."
"Apparently, the building for freshman dorms was already constructed but not cleaned up yet, so the school temporarily arranged for us to stay in Building 8."
The innocent Han Xu, still maintaining his high school mindset, spoke up.
"What privilege is that? Wouldn't it be inconvenient for males and females to live in the same dorm building?"
After saying this, Han Xu suddenly realized that his other roommates were looking at him like he was an idiot.
"Are you pretending or for real?" Sun Hao pulled Han Xu into a one-armed hug and asked with a grin.
"What?"
"Did I... say something wrong?"
"Hahaha..."
The others burst into laughter.
Wu Di then spoke to him with the air of an experienced man, "Think about it, living in the same building as the senior sisters, don't you have an advantage over the other male students?"
"Being so close, you'll get to see them all the time. Isn't that an advantage?"
"What advantage?" The innocent Han Xu couldn't help but ask.
"You idiot! The advantage of being the first, of course!"
As soon as these words came out, Han Xu and Sun Hao were still puzzled.
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaoshuai cursed with a laugh, "Damn! Coming from your mouth, how does that sound so vulgar?"
What an advantage of being the first.
Chen Fan glanced at this tall, handsome guy from Dongshan Province, Wu Di.
Thinking to himself, this guy is quite a character.
