Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

The crowd that had been watching the commotion in the stairwell gradually dispersed.

The peak period for registration is gradually passing.

After completing the registration procedures and receiving their campus cards and dormitory keys, the new students went their separate ways.

The male and female dormitories are located in different areas of the campus.

Zhang Yifan and Shen Zhiyi exchanged a few words.

The two separated for the time being.

Shen Zhiyi went to the girls' dormitory to pack her personal belongings.

Zhang Yifan walked towards the boys' dormitory.

There were also many freshmen dragging suitcases and their accompanying parents along the way.

Noisy conversations could be heard everywhere.

Most freshmen arriving at Tsinghua University inevitably experience a hectic and chaotic start.

Zhang Yifan followed the flow of people to the boys' dormitory building.

The undergraduate male dormitories at Tsinghua University are standard four-person rooms with bunk beds and desks underneath. The space is not large, but it is tidy.

When Zhang Yifan pushed open the dormitory door, there were already three people inside.

A man wearing glasses was sitting on the bed by the window, putting books on the bookshelf.

The movements were very gentle, and each book had to be aligned with its spine, even the publisher's name on the spine had to face the same direction.

A tall man was sitting on the bed near the door, his short-sleeved shirt sleeves rolled up to his shoulders, unpacking a huge woven bag.

The room was stuffed with bedding and clothes, and two 28-inch suitcases were lying on the floor, their zippers stretched too tight to close.

There was another person sitting on the middle bed, who had just put a basketball in the corner and was wiping the dust off the table with a tissue.

After wiping, I crumpled the tissue into a ball and tossed it into the trash can. Good aim, it went in.

When Zhang Yifan pushed the door open and came in, the three people stopped what they were doing and looked up at him.

The tall man near the door was the first to react, stuffing the woven bag under the bed, straightening up and grinning:

"Hey bro, my name is Wang Hao, I'm from Shandong province, and we'll be roommates for the next four years."

The man with glasses pushed them up and said, "My name is Lin Zhe, and I'm from Anhui Province."

His tone was calm and unhurried, and after finishing, he added another sentence.

"Your bed is the one by the window. I reserved a window seat for you because it gets good lighting."

Zhang Yifan nodded and said thank you.

The tall guy who had just thrown away the tissue jumped off the bed, dusted off his hands, and spoke louder than the previous two:

"My name is Zhao Peng'er, I'm a local from Beijing. I enjoy playing basketball, feel free to ask me to play anytime!"

Zhang Yifan responded to each question and briefly stated his name.

The other three people in the dormitory all had 28-inch extra-large suitcases.

A whole bunch of bags, big and small.

The room was crammed full of clothes, shoes, skincare products, and all sorts of daily necessities.

The ground and chairs were piled high with items.

In contrast, Zhang Yifan only had a simple black backpack.

There were no other large pieces of luggage.

The stark contrast was laid bare before everyone's eyes.

Wang Hao stared at the backpack for a few seconds, unable to contain his curiosity.

He frowned, looking puzzled.

"We're not just friends, we'd love to bring all our stuff over here."

Why do you only have a backpack? Is your package still en route?

The words fell.

Lin Zhe closed the book in his hand and looked up at him.

Zhao Peng also stopped wiping the table.

Both of their eyes were fixed on Zhang Yifan.

I waited quietly for his answer.

Zhang Yifan casually placed his backpack on the chair.

He had a faint smile on his face and spoke in a very casual tone, without any sense of deliberate showing off.

"The package wasn't sent. I own a house near Tsinghua University."

I'll probably only come back to the dorm occasionally; I'll mostly stay outside most of the time.

It was all said in a single, short sentence.

The dormitory fell silent instantly.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Wang Hao's mouth opened slightly, and he stood there stunned.

Lin Zhe subconsciously pushed up his glasses, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhao Peng, who had been relaxed, immediately sat up straight.

The three exchanged a glance.

They both saw shock in each other's eyes.

They all started having all sorts of wild thoughts.

This area is near Tsinghua University in Beijing.

The property prices in this area are among the highest in the country.

Many native Beijingers spend their entire lives saving up to try and buy a house here, but they still can't afford it.

An eighteen-year-old freshman who just enrolled in school actually owns a property here with ease.

Before this, they assumed that everyone started from roughly the same point.

They are all ordinary students who have studied hard for more than ten years and crossed the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination to get into Tsinghua University.

Only then did they suddenly realize what was happening.

The person in front of me was never on the same starting line as me from the beginning.

A hidden big shot quietly moved into the dormitory.

The three of them were filled with mixed emotions.

Fortunately, all of them had good emotional intelligence.

On the surface, they maintained a polite and courteous demeanor, not daring to deliberately try to curry favor or ingratiate themselves.

However, her attitude towards Zhang Yifan had quietly undergone a huge change.

Zhang Yifan had no idea that his roommate was going through a storm of emotions.

He doesn't need to make bedding or assemble large items like bed curtains.

I simply took my laptop and a few books out of my backpack and put them in the drawer.

It was all done in just three to five minutes.

He turned to look at the three people who were still busy at work.

Looking around at the messy pile of items.

Zhang Yifan spoke first.

"I don't have anything else to do this afternoon, so I plan to go for a walk around the campus with my girlfriend."

"When I get back tonight, let's all four of us go out for dinner together so we can get to know each other better. We'll be seeing each other all the time for the next four years."

Wang Hao snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded in agreement, forcing a smile onto his face.

"No problem, no problem, we'll follow your instructions."

Lin Zhe responded softly.

"Can."

Zhao Peng echoed this sentiment.

"We'll leave dinner to you."

After a brief farewell, Zhang Yifan turned and left the boys' dormitory building.

The moment the dormitory door closed.

The tense and restrained atmosphere instantly relaxed.

Wang Hao let out a long sigh and slumped into his chair.

"To be honest, comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable."

Both of them got into Tsinghua University, but one of them had a house ready and a girlfriend as soon as he arrived in Beijing.

We're still busy packing a bunch of luggage.

Zhao Peng was deeply moved and scratched the back of his head.

"Outstanding appearance, top-notch college entrance examination scores, and such a privileged family background."

God is being a little too biased; some people are born into privilege, while others are born to be treated like cattle.

Lin Zhe put down the book in his hand, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"We studied hard and gave it our all to get here since we were little."

Others effortlessly possess things we might struggle for decades to achieve; in future interactions, we just need to maintain a balanced perspective and be mindful of boundaries.

The three of them chatted amongst themselves, constantly lamenting the vast differences between people.

They then buried themselves in packing their luggage to pass the time.

the other side.

Zhang Yifan walked to the girls' dormitory building.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Shen Zhiyi, telling her that he was waiting downstairs.

Even after registration was over, there were still quite a few girls coming and going.

Students were constantly coming and going from the dormitory building.

The girls passing by instinctively turned their gaze to him.

Some people just glanced at it briefly before quickly walking away.

Two or three girls huddled together and whispered among themselves.

They encouraged each other to go up and strike up a conversation, mustering up the courage to ask for his WeChat.

They whispered and carefully considered their words, repeatedly encouraging themselves.

Just as they were about to step forward.

Shen Zhiyi walked out of the dormitory building.

Shen Zhiyi finished tidying up quickly, dressed in a simple everyday outfit.

The moment she appeared, she instantly overshadowed everyone around her.

The two stood side by side, their looks complementing each other perfectly, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

The girl who was planning to approach the man saw what was happening before her eyes.

Knowing the gap between them, they silently dismissed the idea and left.

Zhang Yifan reached out and took Shen Zhiyi's hand.

The two were about to leave the dormitory building and take a stroll around the surrounding streets.

The two had only taken two or three steps.

A clear female voice came from behind me.

"Shen Zhiyi".

I heard shouts.

The two stopped and turned to look back at the same time.

A man who wasn't very tall, had short, neat hair, and looked quite handsome walked out of the girls' dormitory building.

At first glance, the other person looks like a handsome and refined young man.

But the voice that just spoke clearly belonged to a girl.

A hint of doubt appeared in Zhang Yifan's eyes.

His gaze was fixed firmly on the person who had just arrived.
