Help! My hunky roommate is begging me to touch his abs!

Jin Bao'er's good fortune doesn't end there.

When he arrived at the dormitory, he was equally stunned when he saw his other two roommates.

Two more tall, muscular men, their biceps practically bursting out of their clothes, exuding masculine hormones.

Only after asking did I learn that one was a forthright Northeastern man and the other was a simple and honest Shandong man.

The big, clumsy guy next to him is from Sichuan, while he is from Yunnan.

Standing in the middle of the three, Jin Bao'er suddenly felt like a child who had wandered into a group of adults, feeling out of place.

The two roommates were very hospitable, constantly taking out local specialties from their hometowns to share with Jin Bao'er and Zhao Yuheng, and even helping them take the mats outside to shake off the dust.

Jin Bao'er felt that his future college life would definitely be good, after all, there aren't many roommates who are both good-looking and nice.

The four were also ranked according to age: the eldest brother from Northeast China, who was one year older than everyone else, was the second eldest, the second eldest was from Shandong, the third eldest was Zhao Yuheng, and Jin Bao'er could only be the fourth eldest.

Regardless of age or height, he looked like a child standing in the middle of the three.

He's at least 1.75 meters tall, but the average height of these three people is probably over 185 meters, making him look petite and delicate.

These three are such chatterboxes! They talked about everything from interesting stories about their hometowns to family members and even the cartoons they watched as children.

Jin Bao'er never realized that these three people could be quite childish at times.

He has a bit of social anxiety and isn't good at speaking, so he can only be a serious listener, occasionally asking a question to make everyone feel that he is listening and willing to answer it for him.

In the evening, the three suggested going out for a meal.

The eldest brother said he was so excited about the hot pot he ate outside yesterday that he insisted on taking them out for another meal.

The second brother and Zhao Yuheng immediately agreed.

"What did the fourth brother say?"

The eldest brother suddenly turned around and looked at Jin Bao'er, who was still folding clothes on the bed, his eyes revealing an irresistible enthusiasm.

Jin Bao'er had been listening to them talk the whole time. She had been thinking that they wouldn't call on her, but she was surprised that she was actually called on.

He pinched the little money he had left in his pocket for living expenses. That little bit of money couldn't afford to go out for a nice meal, and he had to be careful with his spending every time.

"No need, I have a part-time job interview scheduled, I need to go later."

Jin Bao'er awkwardly refused, lowering her head and not daring to look the boss in the eye.

"No way! Why would you do a part-time job as soon as school starts? Let me tell you, that hot pot is so delicious, you'll regret it if you don't try it."

After the eldest brother finished speaking, he was still not giving up. He jumped down from the upper bunk and walked up to Jin Bao'er to persuade her. His burly body instantly enveloped Jin Bao'er.

Seeing how enthusiastic her boss was, Jin Bao'er couldn't bear to refuse, but...

"Boss, think about it. Jinbao's part-time job is pretty good. It's easy work and the pay is high. You'll have a hard time finding another one like this."

At this moment, Zhao Yuheng stood up, subtly put his arm around the eldest brother's shoulder, and pulled him away a little, thus relieving Jin Bao'er from the predicament.

Jin Bao'er immediately gave him a grateful look.

"Okay, then let's go together next time."

The eldest brother, being straightforward and outspoken, didn't take it to heart and continued chatting and laughing with the other two.

Zhao Yuheng watched as his eldest son returned to bed, and finally his gaze fell on Jin Bao'er's face.

He raised an eyebrow at him, a sly smile playing on his lips, as if to say: Don't worry, I'm here for you.

……

After the three of them went out for hot pot, Jin Bao'er packed her things and went to her job interview.

This interview was for a cashier position at the school's convenience store, with a salary of 10 yuan per hour.

Jin Bao'er looked at the class schedule and found that she could come to work every afternoon after school, working for 2-3 hours, from 6 pm to 9 pm, and then go to the library to study. This way, she could earn 30 yuan a day.

The boss asked Jin Bao'er to familiarize herself with the work process that day, since students would be coming to buy things after classes officially started the next day. People were already coming in one after another, and the boss was too busy to handle everything, so Jin Bao'er started to help.

Fortunately, you only need to scan the QR code with the device; you don't need to remember the product prices, and the process is quick to learn.

This job lasts for three hours, and the salary is paid monthly.

By the time we locked the convenience store door, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Jin Bao'er rubbed her sore shoulders and dragged her tired body back to her dormitory.

A cool evening breeze blew by.

Then, the phone rang abruptly, and it was my aunt.

My aunt hasn't called since I said two months ago that I definitely wanted to go to university. This is the first time she's called.

After hesitating for several seconds, he finally answered the call.

"Jinbao'er, you good-for-nothing brat!" (Yunnan dialect, meaning parents scold their children for being a scoundrel)

"It's been so many days, and you haven't even made a single phone call. Have you grown wings and want to fly away?"

A furious string of curses immediately came from the other end; you could feel the shrewishness even through the receiver.

Women from Yunnan, like women from Sichuan, are known for their fiery temper.

Jin Bao'er listened to her aunt scolding for a long time, and only spoke when her aunt was tired of scolding, her voice carrying a hint of helplessness.

"Auntie, I've arrived at school. I'm fine. The money I earn from my part-time job is enough to support me, so you don't need to worry."

He looked up at the starry sky and felt a strange sense of melancholy.

As soon as he finished speaking, his aunt on the other end fell silent.

Saying that my aunt has a sharp tongue but a soft heart isn't entirely accurate.

She would hit him, scold him, and say that he was arrogant and unrealistic.

She would also suppress him and favor his younger cousin, but at the same time, she would feed him when he was hungry and take him to see a doctor when he was sick.

He couldn't bring himself to hate or love his aunt.

"Your uncle's leg problem has flared up again, and he needs to go to the hospital; I'm out of my high blood pressure medication too."

Your brother's living expenses aren't enough either...

Aunt's voice suddenly lowered, and it even sounded like she was about to cry.

Jin Bao'er felt suffocated by her aunt's words.

He knew that the family relied almost entirely on his aunt for farm work.

My uncle has difficulty walking and can't do much farm work.

She also has a cousin who is in college, so all the burdens fall on her shoulders.

Jin Bao'er wasn't heartless; he just really wanted to study and leave that mountain.

He checked his WeChat balance and realized that the 5500 yuan he had saved for tuition and living expenses was about to be depleted.

Finally, Jin Bao'er gritted her teeth and transferred the remaining 5000 yuan.

"Auntie, I only have a little over 500 yuan left for living expenses and tuition. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself."

After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone, afraid that his aunt would take even the last bit of money, and then he would really have no money to eat.

Jin Bao'er returned to his dormitory with heavy steps. The moment he pushed open the door, a strong smell of hot pot wafted out, instantly washing away the chill on his body.

"Jinbao, why are you only just getting back? The mutton that Lao San packed for you is almost cold!"

The eldest brother was lying in bed playing on his phone when he saw Jinbao come back and said with a smile.

"Yeah, I told you it wouldn't taste good when it's cold, so I ate it, but your brother Heng wasn't happy about it and insisted on waiting for you," the second brother joked with a laugh.

Jin Bao'er glanced at the three large boxes of steaming mutton on the table, then looked at Zhao Yuheng in the bunk above her.

"Are these all for me?"

He was somewhat at a loss, and his eyes welled up with tears.

When Jinbao was a child, she didn't do well in school and was often kept after school by her teacher. When she got home, she could only cook a bowl of noodles for herself because there were no leftovers.

At this moment, Zhao Yuheng just smiled sheepishly.

"If you haven't eaten, eat quickly; if you have, eat some more."

"Thank you everyone, thank you Heng-ge."

Jin Bao'er lowered her head, concealing the tears welling up in her eyes.

The three of them didn't pay much attention after hearing this, only thinking that the person was very polite, but none of them noticed Jin Bao'er's slightly red eyes.
