Chapter 333 I am your fan

The morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, waking the two who were sleeping in each other's arms.

The brief time off campus dispelled Li Zhi's slight unease from facing the empty dormitory alone the previous night, and also brought new vitality.

Li Zhi opened her eyes groggily, and what came into view was Shen Yuan's sleeping face so close to hers.

She shifted slightly, trying to find a more comfortable position, but couldn't help frowning her delicate brows.

The distinct soreness in her lower back instantly brought back memories of the madness of the previous night.

The girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, with a hint of languor from just waking up and a touch of embarrassment. She couldn't help but raise her finger and gently poke Shen Yuan's firm chest.

"Livestock..."

She muttered softly, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness.

Shen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze reflecting Li Zhi's flushed cheeks.

The boy naturally tightened his arms, holding the warm, soft woman in his arms even closer.

"Huh? You're insulting me? Who was it that said they wanted more last night?"

The warm breath brushed against her earlobe, and the tips of Li Zhi's ears instantly turned blush.

She raised her eyes to glare at him, her beautiful eyes wide and glistening with tears, filled with reproach: "Shen Yuan! You...you shut up!"

The girl raised her hand and lightly punched him, then struggled to get out of his arms: "Get up! We have to go back to school!"

"No rush." ​​Shen Yuan tightened his arm slightly, preventing her from breaking free, and instead pulled her closer into his arms.

"Hold me a little longer."

He paused, his tone tinged with longing: "Once we go back to school, I won't be able to hold you like this to sleep at night."

Li Zhi was held in his arms, and upon hearing his words, she let out a soft hum.

But after that soft hum, the girl's hands, which had initially been pushing him away, quietly wrapped around his waist, and she buried her face even deeper into his warm chest.

……

The afternoon sun was scorching hot as Shen Yuan and Li Zhi rode their electric scooters back to school.

Yesterday, the school gate was only slightly busy, but now it's bustling with people.

"My God... there are so many people!" Li Zhi exclaimed, looking at the huge crowd in front of him.

Shen Yuan also slowed down the car, his gaze sweeping over the noisy scene.

"See?" Shen Yuan turned his head and gestured with his chin towards Li Zhi. "I told you it was right to come a day earlier."

He pointed to the crowd: "If you only come to register today, just queuing to get into the school will probably take more than half an hour. Not to mention squeezing around to complete the procedures."

Looking at the scene before him, Li Zhi nodded in deep agreement.

The air was filled with an even stronger heat and restlessness than yesterday.

A long line of private cars stretched from the school gate all the way to the distant intersection, accompanied by shouts from parents and guidance from volunteers.

New students dragging suitcases and their accompanying parents can be seen everywhere.

The huge red New Year's banner was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

The two stood side by side near the school gate, looking at the bustling scene before them.

Although there were quite a few people yesterday, it was nowhere near as exaggerated as today.

In comparison, the decision made a day earlier seems incredibly wise now.

“Yes,” Li Zhi replied, her clear eyes reflecting the lively scene.

"Let's go see if your roommates have arrived yet?"

Li Zhi nodded: "Okay, let's go!"

The two got on their bikes and moved slowly with the flow of traffic.

During this time, some parents stopped the two to ask for directions, but the only question the two could answer was where the registration area was.

The two parked the car in the parking area and charged it.

"Let's go back to the dorm!" Li Zhi took Shen Yuan's hand and walked towards the dorm building.

There were significantly more girls entering and leaving the dormitory building than yesterday, and the air was filled with the noise and excitement of new students registering.

"I'm going up?"

Li Zhi's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible anticipation, perhaps wanting to see if the empty dormitory had welcomed a new occupant.

"Mm." Shen Yuan nodded, his gaze falling on her face with a gentle smile.

"Go ahead and see if your roommate has arrived yet."

Li Zhi responded and turned to walk towards the dormitory building's access control.

He had just taken a step when, as if remembering something, he turned back.

"Go back and rest for a while. The sun is strong this afternoon, so don't go running around." The girl's voice was gentle, with a hint of admonition.

Shen Yuan nodded: "Okay, let's have dinner together tonight."

"Okay!" Li Zhi glanced at Shen Yuan, then turned around, swiped his card, and entered the dormitory building.

Shen Yuan stood there, watching her figure disappear into the light and shadow of the foyer.

"Alright, I should head back now."

Shen Yuan turned and walked towards Building 3 of Qingfeng.

Li Zhi walked towards room 305 along the familiar path, a hint of curiosity in his heart.

I don't know if my other three roommates have arrived yet.

When she reached the door of 305, she took out her key and inserted it into the lock.

With a soft "click," the door was pushed open.

The scene before my eyes was completely different from yesterday.

The sunlight still filled the room, but the empty silence had been broken.

Under bed number 3, which is near the balcony, a girl with a high ponytail is humming a song and tidying up the items on her desk, with her back to the door.

Under bed number 4, which is near the door, a girl with shoulder-length short hair was squatting on the ground, carefully placing clothes into the wardrobe.

Upon hearing the door open, the two stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the doorway.

Before Li Zhi could speak, a voice rang out.

"Ah! You are... Li Zhi?!"

The girl with the high ponytail looked surprised and delighted when she saw Li Zhi's face clearly.

Li Zhi was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised that the other party had called out his name directly.

"Um, may I ask what this is...?"

The girl with the high ponytail exclaimed excitedly, her eyes shining, "My name is Su Xiaoxiao! I'm your Douyin fan!"

She pointed at Li Zhi, then at her phone, her voice brimming with excitement: "I've seen that coming-of-age video of yours, the one where you stomped around in high heels at the beginning, so many times! It was amazing!"

Su Xiaoxiao spoke rapidly and enthusiastically, clearly a cheerful girl.

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed by this sudden enthusiasm, but still smiled politely and said, "Thank you for liking it."

"Wow, she looks even better in person than in the videos!"

Su Xiaoxiao moved closer, looking at Li Zhiqing's beautiful face up close, her eyes filled with even more amazement.

"I can't believe we're in the same dorm room! I'm so lucky!"

She paused, her eyes gleaming with gossip and curiosity, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a lower voice:

"Oh, right! That guy in the video, is he your boyfriend? Is he... is he also coming to Zhejiang University?"

Looking into Su Xiaoxiao's inquisitive eyes, Li Zhi nodded with a touch of pride:

"Yeah, he's here too. Computer science, the same major as me, we're both in Class 1."

"Wow!!!"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately covered her mouth, letting out a small gasp, her eyes widening even further.

"Really?! You two are so sweet! You were in the same class in high school, and you're in the same class in college too."

Li Zhi blushed slightly at her straightforward reaction, but the smile on her lips deepened, and she nodded with a touch of pride: "Yes, that's right."

At this moment, the short-haired girl who had been squatting under bed number 4 organizing the wardrobe also stood up.

With a gentle smile, she interjected softly, "Um, I'm also a computer science major, class 1." She paused, then added, "My name is Lin Wei."

Li Zhi turned his gaze to her.

The pretty girl gave a friendly smile: "Hello, Lin Wei. It's nice to meet you."

Lin Wei smiled back and said, "Mm."

"Oh right, I forgot to mention, I'm also in Class 1, and I'm also a computer science major," Su Xiaoxiao quickly added.

At the same time, Shen Yuan returned to dormitory room 507, Building 3, Qingfeng.

He pushed open the half-closed door, and a fresher, more vibrant atmosphere than yesterday rushed towards him.

The dormitory was no longer just Zhao Feng's room; it was much more lively now.

Lin Yuxuan was sitting at his desk, shouting excitedly at his phone screen, seemingly playing a game: "Wow! This team fight!...Beautiful! Nice!"

He slapped his leg excitedly, causing the water glass on the table to shake.

On the upper bunk to the left of the wall, Zhao Feng remained true to his style, sitting quietly on the bed, reading a book, as if Lin Yuxuan's clamor was just background noise from another world.

And the empty upper bunk from yesterday has now welcomed its owner.

A boy wearing a plaid shirt was tidying up his things. Next to him was an open suitcase with clothes folded fairly neatly inside.

"Hey! Brother Shen's back!"

Lin Yuxuan, with his sharp eyes, was the first to spot Shen Yuan entering and immediately greeted him warmly.

"Come quick, our last roommate has arrived! This is Chen Mo, also from Class 1!"

Upon hearing Lin Yuxuan's words, Chen Mo, who was packing his things, stopped what he was doing and turned around.

He pushed up his glasses, looked at Shen Yuan with a hint of shyness on his face, and nodded: "Hello, I'm Chen Mo."

Zhao Feng also looked up from his book and nodded to Shen Yuan as a greeting.

Looking at my three roommates, each with a distinct style, all of whom had arrived.

Seeing Lin Yuxuan's enthusiasm, Zhao Feng's composure, and Chen Mo's presence, Shen Yuan smiled.

"Hello," Shen Yuan said as he entered the dormitory and closed the door behind him.

"It seems everyone is here. I am Shen Yuan, please take care of me in the future."

The brief silence in the dormitory was broken.

Shen Yuan walked to the desk on the lower bunk of his No. 1 bed, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

His gaze swept over his three new roommates, a relaxed smile on his face.

"Hey, by the way, where are you all from?"

Shen Yuan continued, "I'm from Jiyang, which is right next to Hangzhou."

Lin Yuxuan immediately followed up: "It's in Wencheng, a little far, but it's alright."

"Jiangsu Province," Zhao Feng uttered succinctly.

All eyes turned to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo felt a little embarrassed being watched by his roommates.

He pushed up his glasses, his voice not loud but clear: "I...I'm from Sichuan Province."

The initial awkwardness in the air melted away somewhat with a few simple words exchanged.

Lin Yuxuan put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, and stretched: "Phew—this school is really big. I walked around with my parents yesterday, and my legs are about to give out."

“It is indeed big,” Shen Yuan replied, “but it will be much better after buying an electric scooter. What about you? Are you planning to buy one? It’s quite troublesome to get around campus without a vehicle.”

Lin Yuxuan immediately responded, "I've already bought one! Without a means of transportation, I have to leave half an hour early for class."

Zhao Feng shook his head: "I'm not planning to buy one yet. There are buses and bicycles at school. I can ride a bike there."

Shen Yuan nodded in agreement: "Cycling is good too, it's good for your health."

At this moment, Chen Mo spoke up, "I saw in the notice that there will be an opening ceremony and orientation tomorrow? Then military training will begin."

His tone carried a hint of apprehension about the unknown.

"Yes, the opening ceremony is tomorrow afternoon," Shen Yuan confirmed, having specifically checked the freshmen's schedule beforehand.

"Military training is estimated to start the day after tomorrow, after the opening ceremony. The weather in Hangzhou is going to be tough for us."

"Huh? So fast?" Lin Yuxuan cried out in despair.

"I was hoping to get used to the environment for a couple more days! And now I'm already having to stand at attention in the sun?"

Just as Lin Yuxuan was lamenting, Zhao Feng added insult to injury: "It's said that military training lasts for 21 days."

In Hangzhou in August, 21 days of military training, with constant exposure to the sun, can tan you several shades darker.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to say something, his phone vibrated slightly in his pocket.

It was a message from Li Zhi.

Li Zhi: "My roommates are all here! They're all from the same class!"

Li Zhi: "One of them is even one of our Douyin (TikTok) fans! [Smug little cat.jpg]"

Li Zhi: "How's it going on your end? Are all your roommates here?"

As Shen Yuan looked at the text flashing on the screen and the smug little cat emoji, he could almost see Li Zhi's eyes sparkling.

Fingertips tap rapidly on the screen.

Shen Yuan: "All together."

Shen Yuan: "They all look...good."

Shen Yuan: "And you? How's your new roommate?"

After replying, his gaze swept over his three new roommates, each with their own distinct style.

Yes, they are all quite good. At least for now, there are no signs that they are difficult to get along with.

The phone vibrated again very quickly.

Li Zhi: "So cute! [Kitten spinning in circles.jpg]"

Li Zhi: "We'll talk about it in detail over dinner tonight!"

Shen Yuan's smile deepened as he read Li Zhi's reply.

Shen Yuan: "Okay. See you tonight, Li Bao."

He put away his phone and looked up to meet Lin Yuxuan's somewhat sad eyes.

"Brother Shen! You're still laughing! Twenty-one days! Hangzhou is in hell mode!"

Shen Yuan shrugged: "It's nothing, I just thought of something happy."

"what's up?"

"My girlfriend just messaged me."

"Nima..."

Lin Yuxuan was even more heartbroken.

……

The night is getting darker.

The only sounds in the dormitory were the air conditioner running and the slight creaking of the bed boards as the roommates occasionally turned over.

Shen Yuan lay on his lower bunk, resting his head on his arm, the light from his phone screen illuminating his smiling eyes.

On the screen was a message from Li Zhi:
Li Zhi: "Okay, I'm really sleepy... I have to get up early tomorrow. [Kitten yawning.jpg]"

Shen Yuan tapped the screen lightly and replied, "Okay, go to sleep. Goodnight, wife."

Li Zhi: "Goodnight, honey. [Kitten covered in blanket.jpg]"

Looking at that cute emoji, Shen Yuan's smile deepened.

The phone screen went dark, and Shen Yuan gently placed it beside his pillow.

The various sounds in the dormitory intertwined to create a unique background soundscape for the first night of university.

Thankfully, no one in the dorm snores.

Shen Yuan closed his eyes, and amidst the even breathing of his roommates, filled with anticipation for tomorrow, he drifted into his first dream of university life.
