Chapter 21 School starts

The 11th is the first day of school.

"Do you want me to help you carry your things inside?" Chen Sen stopped the car, looked at Chen Yan sitting in the passenger seat, and asked, "Anyway, I took the day off today, so I'll just help you carry your things inside."

"No need, there's not much stuff, I can take it in myself." Chen Yan waved his hand, then got out of the car and took out a suitcase and a luggage bag from the trunk.

"I'm leaving now, bye-bye." After saying goodbye to his father, Chen Yan walked quickly towards the school.

The school allows parents to drive their children into the school today, so why did Chen Yan get out of the car at the school gate...?

This long line of traffic explains everything; it would probably take several more hours to get the car to the dormitory building.

Carrying two bags of luggage, Chen Yan walked easily to his dormitory room. Just as he was about to go in, he saw a new form posted on the door.

Bed No. 1: Chen Yan
Bed No. 2: Pan Yang
Bed No. 3: Qi Li
Bed No. 4: Shen Dong
Every year at the start of the semester, dormitories with new students would post a membership list. Chen Yan did the same when he was a freshman, except that his two roommates didn't come for their own reasons, and Shen Dong casually tore the membership list down.

The dormitory door wasn't completely closed, indicating that someone had already arrived. Chen Yan gently pushed it open, and with a creaking sound, the door swung open completely.

Inside the dormitory, Shen Dong was sweeping the dust off the floor with a broom.

"Hey, you've come at the right time." Seeing that it was Chen Yan, Shen Dong didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Quickly, quick, the dorm is too dirty. I was planning to clean it all by myself, but since you're here, come and help me."

"If I had known, I would have come later. Then I could have shared in the fruits of your labor," Chen Yan joked. Without further ado, he casually placed his luggage bag on the table and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't cleaned?"

"You wipe down the sink area, mop the balcony area, and then empty the trash I swept up later. Leave the rest to me."

"Okay." Chen Yan nodded and walked towards the washbasin with a rag.

After a summer break, the dorm room was indeed quite dirty, but with the two of them working together, cleaning it was still quite quick.

Ten minutes later...

"That's about it, I'm going to take out the trash." Chen Yan stretched his arms and casually picked up the trash bag.

"Okay, I'll mop the floor again." Shen Dong took the mop and walked towards the bathroom.

……

It has to be said that there were a lot of people at the school today. Just on the way down, Chen Yan saw many parents carrying big bags and small packages.

Once outside the dormitory building, the line of cars almost completely blocked the road.

Chen Yan threw the trash bag into the bin, then ran towards the dormitory in a few quick steps...

It was really hot today. Chen Yan would much rather be basking in the cool breeze of the air conditioner than sunbathing outdoors.

Upon arriving at the dormitory, Chen Yan had barely sat down when he heard the sound of a key being inserted into the lock. Two or three seconds later, the old dormitory door was pushed open again.

From the moment the door opened, Chen Yan began to observe his new roommate.

My new roommate came alone. He had a buzz cut, slightly dark skin, and looked a little short, probably around 1.7 meters tall. However, he was quite strong, which made people subconsciously think of the term "little cannon".

Judging from appearance, she scores around 50 points. She's not exactly ugly, but she's not handsome either. She's one of the most common types in the population.

My new roommate was carrying a very large suitcase. Judging from its style and various scratches, it was obviously an old item, most likely a product of the last century.

Upon seeing someone in the dormitory, the new roommate was taken aback for a moment, seemingly not expecting anyone to arrive before him. After realizing what had happened, he quickly introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Qi Li, and I come from Huiyang Province."

"My name is Chen Yan, hello." Chen Yan shook hands with Qi Li. Qi Li's hands were rough, but they gave off a strong feeling.

"Shen Dong." Shen Dong said his name first, and then shook hands with his new roommate, just like Chen Yan.

The three chatted for a while, but Qi Li didn't stay for long. He needed to get his water card, meal card, and other necessities from the class assistant, and also pick up his school uniform from the military training building.

……

As for the last roommate, Pan Yang, he arrived at around 3 p.m.

Pan Yang has curly hair and a few pimples on her cheeks. Although her outfit is quite nice, her natural features are only so-so, so she'd probably only score around 55 out of 100.

He's slightly more pleasing to the eye than the average person, but only slightly.

Compared to Qi Li's taciturn and reserved nature, Pan Yang was much more outgoing. After introducing himself, he casually pulled out a pack of Liqun cigarettes from his pocket.

"Hey guys, wanna smoke? Have one, please."

As he spoke, Pan Yang was about to offer cigarettes, but apart from Qi Li accepting one, Chen Yan and Shen Dong both politely declined.

However, just as Pan Yang was about to take out a lighter to light his cigarette, Chen Yan frowned slightly and pointed to the balcony.

"Go to the balcony to smoke, or the smell will linger in the dorm room."

Shen Dong, who was standing nearby, immediately chimed in, "We can't all be breathing in secondhand smoke, can we?"

Pan Yang, who had already taken out a lighter, froze for a moment when he heard Chen Yan and Shen Dong say this, and then an awkward smile appeared on his face.

"Excuse me, excuse me, Qi Li, let's go to the balcony."

After the two men went to the balcony and closed the door, Shen Dong shrugged, lowered his voice, and said somewhat dejectedly, "I give up, two chain smokers have moved in."

"Let's see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, we can move out," Chen Yan said reassuringly, though the idea of ​​moving out was stronger than ever before.

Chen Yan didn't care much about smokers. As long as they didn't bother him, he didn't care what they did.

But as for those who smoke in public places and make others inhale secondhand smoke... Chen Yan hopes that more of these people will smoke and get lung cancer as soon as possible, which would also help purify the environment.

……

"We're all roommates, can't we just talk to each other properly?" Pan Yang lit a cigarette and couldn't help but complain.

As for Qi Li, who was also smoking, he always seemed a bit lost and helpless.

In fact, Qi Li is already starting to regret coming out to smoke.

He smokes, but he's not a heavy smoker; he's the type who isn't bothered by not smoking.

In Qi Li's view, cigarettes are a social tool... Every year during the Spring Festival, when his parents came back from working in other places, they would smoke and chat with a group of people.

He originally thought that the four of them would smoke and chat together, but the other two refused.

As for Pan Yang...

For some reason, Qi Li always felt that he was a bit unreliable.
