Chapter 27 The First Dormitory Get-Together

Xia Qing's eyes lit up as she sat in front of the computer; her long-awaited boyfriend, Yu Tu, had finally come online.

The class group chat also became lively.

Cheng Feng: "When I first saw the advertisement for 'Niu Le Ge Niu', which said that even the top students at Tsinghua University were driven crazy by this game, I didn't believe it. Now that Yu Tu is saying the same thing, I feel relieved."

Student A, who doesn't deserve to be named: "I just read Yu Tu's blog post, and even the game developer himself replied to him."

Student B: "The world of top students is indeed different from ours."

Xia Qing: "Actually, whether it's 'Niu Le Ge Niu' or 'Yang Le Ge Yang', the games themselves don't have much technical content. The main thing is that the viral marketing is amazing. There's a Hollywood movie called 'The Blair Witch Project,' which used the same method to make over 200 million US dollars at the box office with a very low budget. This is the first time I've seen someone do this in China."

Cheng Feng: "You two are truly a perfect match, one specializing in mathematical analysis and the other in economic analysis. You're both incredibly professional!"

Seeing Cheng Feng praising her so enthusiastically in the group chat, Xia Qing suddenly felt a little down.

Yu Tu was admitted to Tsinghua University's finance program, and his future is bright.

In order to catch up with Yu Tu, she also chose finance as her first choice, but her score was not high enough and she was assigned to tourism management.

Deep down, I was quite unwilling to accept it.

Although Yu Tu had already comforted her by saying that she could still take the postgraduate entrance exam, Xia Qing always felt that the distance between her and Yu Tu was slowly widening.

"Drip drip."

A friend sent me a private message.

Xia Qing clicked on the message with great surprise, only to find that the person who messaged her was not Yu Tu, but Cheng Feng.

"Have you been to the Imperial Banquet Restaurant? It's only a ten-minute taxi ride from school. We ate there tonight?"

Suppressing her disappointment, Xia Qing typed a reply:

"Young Master Cheng, have you ever heard the saying? Ideals are like underwear; you should have them, but you can't go around showing everyone that you have them?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's the same if you're rich. Don't always try to prove how rich you are to everyone you meet. It's easy to make people resentful."

"You've misunderstood me. That restaurant just sounds impressive. Once you go in, as long as you don't order those ridiculously expensive wines, seafood, or game, the normal price for a dish won't exceed one hundred. It's amazing that the eight of us can eat a thousand."

"A thousand isn't expensive?"

"The main thing is that the last guy to come to my dorm is pretty awesome. His clothes and pants are all over 2000 yuan, and the key is that the brands are very low-key. How can I treat him to a meal if I'm too shabby?"

"That roommate you said is even more handsome than Yu Tu?"

"Yes."

"I'm starting to doubt you less and less. You're not just trying to make others look good because they're rich like you, are you? Just because you're the same kind of people?"

"Is this prejudice? Yu Tu has already proven that handsome people can also get good grades, so why can't handsome people be rich?"

"Then I'd really like to see for myself. But let's make this clear: if you're lying, I'll block you from now on!"

"We'll see!"

After sending the message, Cheng Feng, who was sitting in front of the computer, raised his hand and stretched.

He bought the alien-shaped device, which cost over 30,000 yuan, but he doesn't play games much; he just surfs the internet and chats on QQ.

Afterwards, he turned to Wu Di and Shi Xiaomeng and told them that the dormitory get-together had been arranged.

At this moment, Shi Xiaomeng suddenly spoke up: "I'm not going, I have a girlfriend."

"what!"

Cheng Feng and Wu Di stood up from their chairs and sat up from their beds, their expressions of surprise mirroring each other.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

It was Wu Di who spoke.

Cheng Feng added, "If you don't go, Yang Muyi definitely won't go either. It would be awkward if only Wu Di and I went."

"But I really do have a girlfriend."

Shi Xiaomeng looked troubled. He had made plans to video call his girlfriend at an internet cafe that evening.

"Xia Qing from dorm 302 also has a boyfriend, the one I mentioned who got into Tsinghua University. Girls don't shy away from it, so why are you, a grown man, hiding it?"

"I--"

Just as Shi Xiaomeng was about to explain, the dormitory door opened. Yang Muye came in carrying a bunch of things he had bought from the supermarket, including bed sheets, blankets, and toiletries.

Before the item could be put down, Cheng Feng had already handed it over.

"Dude, you're finally back! Tonight I'm organizing a social event for the girls in the Tourism Management dormitory. How about you come along?"

In his past life, when Yang Muye looked at Cheng Feng's face through the screen, he only thought it was greasy.

In reality, he seems alright; at least he speaks politely and doesn't have that arrogant, haughty attitude.

Yang Muye put down what he was holding and shook hands with Cheng Feng.

"Everyone's going?"

"go with!"

Cheng Feng spoke before Shi Xiaomeng could.

"Okay, since this is the first time the dorm has organized a group activity, I will definitely participate."

After saying that, Yang Muye withdrew his hand and began to make the bed.

Cheng Feng stood to the side.

The two chatted like that, exchanging only a few words.

"Judging from your attitude, you're not planning to stay in the dorm permanently? Do you have a place outside?"

No, I'm staying at a hotel.

"You've been living here all along?"

"It depends on the situation. Currently, the rooms are only booked until January next year."

"Aren't you considering buying a house near the school?"

Cheng Feng directly stated that he wanted to buy, not rent, which made Wu Di and Shi Xiaomeng, who were standing nearby, secretly click their tongues in amazement.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. For wealthy people, renting or buying a house is the same thing.

It's all for the sake of convenience and comfort in living here.

"I'm not considering it. I haven't even transferred my household registration here yet. I'll see if I want to stay in Yanjing for a few more years after graduation. Anyway, I'll go back to my hometown sooner or later."

"Does your family own a mine waiting to be inherited?"

"My parents are both in Shenzhen."

"Then why are you going back to your hometown?"

"They left long ago."

what?
Cheng Feng was stunned.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask that—"

"It's okay, I only found out about this after the college entrance exam."

"So you're not planning to go with either side?"

"I'm an adult now, and they've all started their own families. Who else can I live with?"

"That's true. My family situation is similar to yours. My mom left because my dad had another woman. Although my household registration is with my dad, I've lived like an orphan all these years."

Cheng Feng said with a sense of sympathy.

Unfortunately, Yang Muye couldn't empathize with him.

What kind of orphan can drive a sports car worth over 400 million yuan to university?
Cheng's father only felt indebted to Cheng Feng emotionally, but not financially.

Cheng Feng says he hates his father, but why doesn't he say that when he's spending his father's money?

On the contrary, after listening to Cheng Feng's experience, Wu Di suddenly said, "You are already very lucky. At least you have a rich father. My mother died of illness when I was very young. Later, my father found me a stepmother. When I was fourteen, they died in a car accident together. I only have an older brother who is not related to me by blood."

Cheng Feng suddenly realized, "So that's why you and your brother don't look alike at all."

Wu Di smiled wryly and remained silent.

Cheng Feng immediately added, "I saw your brother slip you that bank card yesterday. Honestly, you should be grateful that your brother, who isn't related to you by blood, has gone to such lengths!"
