Although it was a rhetorical question, it was the start of a conversation.

"Hmm, there's quite a lot of stuff, it's a bit of a hassle."

Mo Xiangwen glanced at the bag in her hand and felt that it wasn't much more than what he had expected to buy.

Isn't it said that girls need to prepare far more daily necessities than boys?

Yan Nuoya seemed to see through his thoughts and nodded, saying, "Yes, we still need to buy some other items, but not now."

He thought Yan Nuoya would take the opportunity to tease him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively asked, "Do you need me to help you carry some down to the dormitory building?"

"Hey, is it okay?" Yan Nuoya blinked and smiled. "I thought you would avoid the girls' dormitory like the plague."

"You can't go inside if you only go downstairs." Having just breathed a sigh of relief, Mo Xiangwen was teased and could only emphasize, "You still have to carry it upstairs yourself."

"What does it matter? I can lie to them and say you're my boyfriend."

"No, I don't want to either. Being stared at by a group of people, especially girls, would be too unbearable," Mo Xiangwen refused firmly.

"Okay, then it's up to you."

So he helped Yan Nuoya deliver some daily necessities to the girls' dormitory.

He had come up with many excuses to deal with Yan Nuoya's roommate.

Unexpectedly, Yan Nuoya chose to walk back and forth several times to get all the things upstairs.

However, although he and Yan Nuoya could be considered half friends, their relationship was not close enough for him to ask what was going on.

Maybe their roommate hasn't arrived yet?

"You're right, my roommate hasn't arrived yet."

When he came to his senses, he met Yan Nuoya's purple eyes. Yan Nuoya smiled gently and said, "But thank you for your concern."

Does this woman have mind-reading abilities?

"Of course, I don't have mind-reading abilities either." Yan Nuoya shook her head. "Then next, I'll help you move over."

"No need, I'll take it to the dormitory building myself, and my roommates will help me carry it." He refused, "You've already made several trips, you should go back and rest."

"Male chauvinism?" Yan Nuoya joked, "That won't do."

"Uh, I don't think so."

"Then, shall we take you to the boys' dormitory?" Yan Nuoya leaned forward slightly, looking at him and smiling. "That's fair, isn't it?"

"...Okay." He couldn't find a good reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.

P.S.: I'm going to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow, I'll try to update as much as possible.

Chapter Thirty: Eating, Eating

"Actually, I think you don't need to wait here at all. After my roommate comes down, the two of us can carry all the things up."

"What are you afraid of?" Yan Nuoya smiled. "Would my presence have any negative impact on you?"

"Yes," Mo Xiangwen replied seriously, "It would cause a lot of misunderstandings, and before my roommate and I could even build a solid friendship, the most basic trust would be shattered."

Yan Nuoya was both amused and exasperated: "You boys are so childish. Why don't you just explain it?"

“If I were walking with an ordinary girl, I could probably explain it away. But standing next to you, I’m in a situation where I can’t clear my name no matter what.” Mo Xiangwen sighed.

"Hmm..." Yan Nuoya pondered for a moment, "Didn't the classic cases prove that it's easier for pretty girls to clarify things?"

"Could it be that you're secretly cursing me?" Yan Nuoya looked at him, feigning suspicion.

"Yan, are you expecting me to praise your beauty?" Mo Xiangwen complained helplessly, "It's precisely because you're so beautiful that I'm being envied. Whether they believe it or not, I'm going to get a beating."

"Thank you for the compliment." Yan Nuoya smiled and nodded. "Bye-bye."

"I can't stand it, what's wrong with this person?" Mo Xiangwen shook his head helplessly.

I can't stand it, this person is too easily teased, um, it feels addictive.

Turning her back to him, Yan Nuoya gently rubbed her cheek with her fingers, dispelling the smile that had welled up inside her.

"Oh right, I forgot to invite him to dinner." Yan Nuoya pouted, then suddenly smiled: "Never mind, no rush, there will be plenty of opportunities."

Less than a minute after Yan Nuoya left, Qin Yongfeng arrived at the dormitory building, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

To his surprise, Qin Yongfeng was accompanied by two other male classmates of the same age.

He was about to greet them and ask them something when one of the taller, thinner boys interrupted him: "No rush, let's move the things upstairs first and then talk."

Then, the three of them worked together to help him carry his things upstairs.

That's why they say there's strength in numbers. What was supposed to be a daunting task that required him to use every last bit of his strength was handled by four people, and he couldn't even fill both hands.

Even when they returned to their dormitory on the fifth floor, none of them seemed out of breath.

"Let me introduce myself first. Hello, Mo Xiangwen, I'm Zhong Taihong." The tall, thin boy spoke first and then extended his hand to him.

"Ah, you already know my name. Hello, Zhong Taihong." Mo Xiangwen shook hands with him and noticed that he was wearing an entire outfit of expensive designer brands.

"Qin Yongfeng just told us, hello, I am Xi Shaojie." Xi Shaojie is a little chubby, but still within the normal range of male build. He is wearing a shirt with the character illustration of the Heroes O Alliance game printed on it.

"Hello." Mo Xiangwen shook hands with him as well.

After everyone had finished greeting each other, Zhong Taihong waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Let's have a chicken hot pot dinner at the commercial street tonight. It's on me."

"I'll pack my luggage and personal belongings first, you guys go ahead." Mo Xiangwen shook his head and was about to climb up to pack his things.

"Hey, let's go, let's go. We'll clean up when we get back." Xi Shaojie came up and bumped into him, pulling him away from the bedside and hooking his arm around his shoulder as they walked out.

"Damn, of course you'd say that since you've all packed up."

"Oh dear, don't spoil the fun, let's go, let's go." Zhong Taihong supported him on the other side, and together with Xi Shaojie, they carried him away.

Qin Yongfeng smiled and shook his head, followed behind to close the dormitory door, then pulled out the key and stuffed it into his pocket.

Seeing this, Mo Xiangwen had no choice but to give up.

"Fine, fine, let me go, I can walk by myself."

Seeing that he had given up the idea, Xi Shaojie and Zhong Taihong exchanged a smile and put him down.

"Why didn't you just behave yourself earlier?"

The four of them arrived at the chicken hot pot restaurant amidst laughter and banter. By then, all the seats in the restaurant were already full, indicating that quite a few people shared the same idea with them.

Fortunately, Zhong Taihong had booked a table in advance, so there was no need to worry about making a wasted trip.

After taking a few bites of the vegetables, the roommates became more and more relaxed in their conversation.

At first, we just chatted casually about novels and movies, but later, as we opened up, we even talked about international affairs.

Naturally, people of their age group can't avoid the inevitable part of questioning each other about whether they have girlfriends.

However, apart from Zhong Taihong admitting to having been in a relationship and being dumped, none of the other people, including him, had ever been in a relationship.

After drinking a few sips of the drinkable low-concentration ethanol, Zhong Taihong hugged Xi Shaojie and wept bitterly, vowing through tears to be a scumbag.

Seeing him like this, everyone could only comfort him, saying that bad women weren't worth it and that he wouldn't even date a "love dog." Anyone who didn't know better would think he was part of a "heartbroken alliance."

Mo Xiangwen silently mourned for the silly child for a second, then expressionlessly picked up another piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.

Just as he was secretly praising the chicken pot restaurant for its excellent cooking skills, his phone vibrated slightly.

A seductive gesture: @HumanDragonUnitySpeaks

This kid is silly, I don't know what he's doing now.

Human-Dragon Unity: What's wrong?

A seductive stunt: "I'm sorry." (Very loudly)

It's okay that she's being super loud, but it's rare to see her apologize openly and directly, especially since she sent it directly in the group chat.

In the past, she would choose games from her wish list and secretly send them to her on her birthday or other special occasions.

Whenever he received a game from Xiao Huo, he knew she was apologizing to him.

However, most of the time he didn't take it to heart at all. When Xiao Huo sent him the game, he had to think for a while about why.

Human and dragon as one: because of the wooden plaque?

A seductive response: "Mmm."

Human and Dragon in Harmony: You should have said what the chairman said, that you really didn't make a wooden sign, right?

A seductive answer: No, I was just joking.

Human and dragon as one: You're kidding, if I didn't get hit, then it's the same as nothing happened.

Human and dragon in harmony: What's the big deal? Do you think I'm that petty?

“So you see, there’s no need to think so much.” Su Mengli tapped her sister’s head: “I really don’t know what you’re thinking about all day long.”

Su Mengyao snorted twice in dissatisfaction, but considering that she had offered her advice, she would forgive her this time.

Use a seductive approach: So where are you now? I'll keep my promise and treat you to dinner.

Human and Dragon as One: Huh? Now?

Human and Dragon in Harmony: Sent a photo.

Human and Dragon in Harmony: Next time, I'll be having a chicken hot pot dinner with my roommate.

Chicken hot pot?

The next moment, Su Mengyao and Su Mengli stood up from their chairs at the same time. They looked at each other and quickly went to the railing of the attic to look down.

P.S.: I owe you one chapter. I'll pay you back when I wake up. Sorry.

Chapter Thirty-One: Don't knock, it'll make you stupid.

"Sis, which one do you think is Xiao Yi down there?" Su Mengyao looked down but could only see part of the situation downstairs.

There are about seven or eight tables on the first floor of the restaurant, but less than half of them can be seen from the loft.

However, each table was occupied by at least three or four people, and some even required the waiter to add a chair, allowing up to seven or eight people to sit at the table.

Of these dozens of people, at least half were playing on their phones, both boys and girls.

After all, when college students have a get-together, who cares if their classmates or friends are on their phones? Everyone chats for a bit, then plays on their phones for a while; they're busy both online and offline, they don't stop at all.

Su Mengli clicked on his photo, zoomed in with a swipe, examined it carefully for a while, and compared it with the others before saying, "Judging from the background of the photo, the angle makes it look like he's sitting on the right. Hmm, if Xiao Yi said he was having dinner with his roommates, then it should be this table."

Su Mengli pointed to a table closer to the door on the right. From there, you could see four boys eating together—or rather, two boys hugging each other and crying, while the other two were playing on their phones, occasionally picking up a piece of chicken from the pot and chewing it.

"What about the table next to us?" Su Mengyao also examined the photo for a while, then pointed to the larger table next to her—a table with both men and women, and about seven or eight people sitting there: "Actually, I feel that this table has a higher probability of being the one."

Sigh, I can't keep this stupid little sister.

If her classmate hadn't been there, she would have patted her silly little sister on the head and said, "Sweetie, go away and be silly."

But the other students were eating and watching, and they still had to give this silly little sister some face in front of outsiders.

“Xiao Yi bragged about being a macho man—although none of the people at this table look like macho men,” Su Mengli patiently explained. “He doesn’t really need to use a voice changer like you when playing games.”

"You did it too," Su Mengyao replied, dissatisfied.

Su Mengli winked at her but didn't say anything.

"Okay, you can continue." Su Mengyao quickly backed down, while secretly muttering to herself, "So what if you came out a little earlier?"

"He said he ate with his roommate, but what boy has a girl as his roommate?"

“You’re right,” Su Mengyao nodded thoughtfully, but then suddenly seemed to think of something and asked, “Is it possible that they ate with their dormmates and classmates?”

“Then he would probably say he ate with his classmates, not his roommates.” Su Mengyao shook her head: “Even if he really didn’t consider the wording… look at their attitude.”

Su Mengyao looked left and right, but after a long time she still couldn't figure it out.

Looking at her, Su Mengli silently repented for a second.

Before she was even born, did I steal a lot of the nutrients that this silly little sister should have used to develop her brain, which is why she's so slow now?

"If you can see their expressions, look at their expressions; if you can't see them, look at their movements and posture," Su Mengli couldn't help but remind her. If she let her silly sister keep looking, she might not figure anything out even after the person left.

"Have you noticed that the guys sitting at the same table as the girls don't seem very reserved?"

Su Mengyao stared in silence for a while, then nodded reluctantly: "It seems to be the same as what you said."
