Chapter 34: 034 Boys’ Dormitory
Under Lu Qi’s strong suggestion, Wang Heng eventually switched to an Apple mobile phone.
Of course, he would have to pay back this money in the future, just after New Year’s Day. Wang Heng estimated that by then, let alone the money for buying a phone, buying a house directly in Rongdu would be no problem. Of course, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry to buy a house.
After this year’s Bitcoin, there would be the World Cup next year, as well as the domestic stock market’s doubling surge, and then it would be time to consider the housing market, to grab the sharp rise in housing prices nationwide including Rongdu… As long as he grabbed these few market trends, he felt that when he graduated from university, he could enjoy the wonderful life of financial freedom!
No girls, no romantic entanglements, just seven-figure or even eight-figure bank savings. Thinking about it this way almost brought tears of emotion.
Just like that, with the new mobile phone in his pocket and full of expectation for the future, he returned to the dormitory and saw the new roommates.
School hadn’t started yet, and first year university students were arriving at school to report one after another. Tonight, the four-person dorm where Wang Heng was finally got fully occupied. Besides him and esports boy Fu Hanwen, the other two roommates arrived today.
These two: one named Tang Hexing, a slim local boy from Rongdu. His face was fair and clean, and with a pair of thick glasses, he had the image of a textbook otaku.
The other one seemed to be the standard normie—Wang Ke, 1.85 meters tall, the tallest among the four, with a tall and slender build, and facial features that were also flawless, handsome enough to stand out from the crowd. Although he was also wearing a otaku set of T-shirt and sports pants, the effect formed a stark contrast with Fu Hanwen and Tang Hexing.
Of course, Fu Hanwen and Tang Hexing weren’t ugly, just average passersby. Wang Heng was also quite handsome, just not as tall as them, so his male charm was naturally a step behind.
“There are few girls at our school to begin with,” Tang Hexing couldn’t help but sigh, “and then there’s someone like you, Wang Ke… No way, getting out of singleton status is too hard.”
It was already nearly midnight, past the forced lights-out time, and the dorm was pitch black. The four boys had already finished washing up and lay on their beds, but none felt sleepy at all.
There was no helping it; everyone had been wild throughout the summer vacation with no one managing them, and had long developed the habit of staying up late and waking up late. So in the darkness, they naturally started a pillow talk session.
Regarding Tang Hexing’s complaint, Fu Hanwen said disdainfully, “What do you need girls for? Can’t games satisfy you?”
“Of course not!”
“Then shall I send you a few videos?”
“How could that possibly compare to the real thing!” Tang Hexing argued, then tried to find allies, “What do you two think?”
At this point, Wang Heng spoke up: “Goddesses on the hard drive definitely can’t compare to the real thing, I agree, but romance isn’t something essential, I think.”
Tang Hexing was a bit unwilling and said, “Wang Ke, what do you think? Don’t you want to date in university?”
“Don’t.” Wang Ke coolly dropped two words and continued staring at his phone.
Tang Hexing was immediately speechless.
Fu Hanwen mocked, “See, you’re really the only one with women on your mind, huh? We’re not as vulgar as you, obsessed with that low-level desire.”
Wang Heng suddenly felt that Xiao Tang classmate being shut down speechless from the start seemed a bit unfair, so he added, “Actually, I’m not completely uninterested in girls, just not interested in three-dimensional ones.”
But just as Wang Heng finished speaking, Wang Ke suddenly sat up.
“Holy crap, a fellow enthusiast! Three-dimensional women are too awful; the best are two-dimensional lolis, right?”
Although there were no lights in the room, with the dim light filtering in from outside, Wang Heng could still see the expression on Wang Ke’s face. Approval and excitement mixed together, completely changing that cool handsome face, with his entire temperament totally different.
Wang Heng: “Uh… calm down a bit.”
Wang Ke raised his phone and shoved the screen toward Wang Heng: “Look at this, two-dimensional loli, super great, right?”
Wang Heng’s mouth twitched twice: “Allow me to remind you, this can’t even be considered a loli; it should be called child…”
“So what?” Wang Ke argued righteously, “I’m not doing anything; it’s just pure liking, is that illegal?”
For a moment, Wang Heng didn’t know what to say. And Fu Hanwen and Tang Hexing on the lower bunk were even more speechless.
After a while with no response, Wang Ke couldn’t help feeling a bit dejected.
“I knew it; back in high school, I said stuff like this in class, and then I got isolated. If you want to isolate me, go ahead; I’m used to it.”
“I really didn’t think of isolating you, although your taste is indeed a bit…” Wang Heng said carefully, “But you said it yourself; it’s just you liking it alone, without harming anyone.”
Wang Ke reignited a sliver of hope: “Can you understand me? Sure enough, you like lolis too?”
Wang Heng: “…No, I’m not a loli enthusiast, thanks.”
Just as the four boys were chatting enthusiastically, suddenly, Wang Heng’s mobile phone ringtone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID; it was Lu Qi.
He answered the call and heard that older sister type’s calm yet crisp voice:
“Hey, Wang Heng, you haven’t slept yet, right? I’ve transferred the money to an account; I’ll send you the account and password in a bit, OK?”
“OK, OK.”
“It’s late; get some rest early and prepare well for classes.”
“Sister Lu, we won’t have classes for over a week; we have military training first.”
“It’s been too long since graduation; I’d forgotten…” Lu Qi laughed, “Alright then, anyway, go to sleep early.”
“Okay, Sister Lu, goodnight.”
After that, Wang Heng hung up the phone.
Less than two seconds later, cheers erupted in the dorm. Not just Fu Hanwen and Tang Hexing, even Wang Ke was cheering.
Fu Hanwen: “Wow, Wang Heng, you’re on the phone with a girl!”
Tang Hexing: “So late, and she’s calling you proactively…”
Wang Ke was even more heartbroken: “You call her Sister Lu? No wonder you don’t like lolis; turns out you’re an older sister type enthusiast!”
Just as Wang Heng was wryly thinking how to deal with these three, his phone rang again.
This time’s caller ID was Pei Ningle.
Wang Heng was a bit puzzled—he remembered that at this moment, Pei Ningle should be on the airplane; how could she call?
He answered the call and heard the young girl’s slightly helpless voice: “I’m at your school gate; you’re inside, right?”
“Why are you here!”
Wang Heng sat up, feeling like he was done for.
Pei Ningle: “I want to find an inn to stay at, but the inns around your school are all full…”
Wang Heng: “Wait, that’s not the issue! I mean, you should be in the sky right now; why run over here?”
