Ma Xiaodong pushed the dormitory door open, leaving only a crack, effectively blocking his parents from the outside.
He stood like a gatekeeper blocking the entrance, his face filled with utter despair.
Ma Xiaodong looked impatient, and his voice rose eight octaves:
"Alright, alright! Stop nagging!"
"I'm eighteen already! I'm a grown woman!"
"Making the bed and folding the blankets is something I can do with my eyes closed!"
"You guys better go back now! I'm going to die if you don't leave!"
Immediately, Ma's father's loud voice came from outside the door, which could be heard clearly even through the door panel.
Father Ma (voiceover):
"Oh son! Do you have enough money? If not, Dad will transfer you some more!"
"And those lockers in the dorm, Dad will wipe them down for you before you leave!"
Ma Xiaodong was completely bewildered and interrupted his father.
"Enough! Absolutely enough! We can't possibly spend it all! You should all leave now!"
"If I don't leave soon, my roommates will start laughing at me, calling me a mama's boy!"
He gritted his teeth and slammed the dormitory door shut with a bang.
He leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had just finished a battle.
Ma Xiaodong turned around and looked at Lu Jingchen, who was tidying up his desk, and Li Mo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping his glasses.
Her face flushed red instantly; she was so embarrassed she could dig her toes out of her skin.
He scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry, brothers, you guys must have found this amusing."
"That's just how my parents are. They don't trust anything and wish they could move their whole house to me."
"I'm so tired of them nagging me."
Lu Jingchen glanced at him, smiled faintly, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"I understand, parents always have the same heart for their children."
"That's normal, that's how it is."
Li Mo, standing next to him, pushed up his glasses and gave a simple, honest smile.
Extend your hand and introduce yourself.
"Hello, my name is Li Mo, and I come from Shandong."
"From now on, we'll be roommates in the same dorm. Please take care of me."
Ma Xiaodong immediately went up to him and shook hands, displaying his overly friendly nature to the fullest.
"My name is Ma Xiaodong, I'm a local! If you need anything in Jiangzhou, just let me know!"
He turned to look at Lu Jingchen again, his eyes sparkling.
"Hey bro, what's your name? My mom was so busy talking to you that I didn't hear you."
Lu Jingchen placed the last book on the desk and spoke with a smile.
"My name is Lu Jingchen."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the table suddenly started vibrating.
A close-up shot revealed the caller ID on the screen: Su Muyue.
Lu Jingchen picked up his phone, swiped to answer, and held it to his ear, speaking calmly.
"Feed".
Su Muyue's cheerful voice, like a silver bell, immediately came from the other end of the phone.
Su Muyue (telephone voice):
"Lu Jingchen, have you got everything sorted out on your end?"
"I've finished all my registration procedures here, and since I'm free anyway, how about we go for a walk around campus?"
"So you won't have to go around to the wrong building when you get back to class."
Lu Jingchen smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, everything's done. I'll be downstairs now. Where should we meet?"
Su Muyue said with a smile:
"I'm right outside the convenience store downstairs from your boys' dormitory!"
"No rush, take your time, I'll wait for you here."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingchen said goodbye to his two roommates, grabbed his coat, and went out.
Ma Xiaodong watched his retreating figure, exchanged a glance with Li Mo, and both wore gossipy smiles.
Ma Xiaodong winked and said:
"Wow! That's impressive, Brother Lu!"
"It's only the first day of school, and a beautiful girl is already calling to ask me out! And she has such a lovely voice!"
"She's definitely a winner in life!"
Li Mo smiled sheepishly, adjusted his glasses, and said nothing.
But his eyes were also full of gossip.
The scene shifts to the sports field of Jiangzhou University, where the golden sunlight shines on the red running track.
A gentle breeze blew, and the grass on the lawn swayed softly. New students and their parents were strolling around everywhere, creating a lively scene.
Lu Jingchen and Su Muyue walked slowly side by side on the track. The handsome man and beautiful woman instantly attracted countless eyes from those around them.
Boys and girls passing by couldn't help but turn around frequently, whispering among themselves.
Su Muyue turned her head and looked Lu Jingchen up and down, her eyes full of amazement.
"There were too many people around, so I couldn't say anything."
"I never expected that you would have already reached the Golden Core stage at such a young age."
"This strength is ridiculously powerful, it's terrifying."
Lu Jingchen remained calm, as if nothing had happened, and his tone was as indifferent as plain water.
"It's nothing, just good luck."
Su Muyue rolled her eyes and pouted.
"Excessive humility is arrogance!"
"The Golden Core stage! So many old monsters who have cultivated their entire lives are stuck at the peak of Foundation Establishment, unable to overcome this hurdle no matter what!"
"You're something else! You reached the Golden Core stage at nineteen! You're a complete prodigy!"
Lu Jingchen smiled and quickly changed the subject to prevent her from continuing to complain.
"By the way, how is your grandfather now?"
"With the jade pendant I sold him before, breaking through to the Golden Core realm should be much easier, right?"
Upon hearing this, Su Muyue shook her head helplessly and let out a long sigh.
"It can't be that fast."
"After all, I'm getting old, and my energy and blood can't keep up. I'm not as vigorous as a young prodigy like you."
"It will take some time to work things out; we can't rush it."
"My grandfather keeps saying he wants to find a chance to thank you in person."
The two chatted idly, from cultivation to their majors at school, and then to the food in the cafeteria.
The sunlight gradually became dazzling, and before we knew it, most of the morning had passed.
On the other side, in room 506 of building B in the boys' dormitory, it was already noon.
The dormitory door was wide open, letting in fresh air and air out. Ma Xiaodong and Li Mo were slumped in their chairs, studying the school's cafeteria guide on their phones.
Just then, two well-dressed men stopped at the dormitory entrance.
It was Bai Jingteng and Bai Yaohui, both dressed in custom-made suits, exuding an air of nobility.
Out of place in this simple student dormitory, he carried a hint of condescending arrogance on his face.
Bai Jingteng glanced around the room, his gaze sweeping over the two empty beds before finally settling on Ma Xiaodong and Li Mo.
Bai Jingteng spoke, his tone carrying a polite distance.
"Excuse me, does Lu Jingchen live in this dormitory?"
Is he there now?
Ma Xiaodong was sitting with his legs crossed, scrolling through his phone, when he heard this, he immediately looked up.
He frowned and warily looked the two people at the door up and down, as if guarding against thieves.
After all, these two don't look like students at all; their aura is ridiculously strong. I wonder what they're here for.
Ma Xiaodong spoke, his tone wary:
"Who are you? What do you want with Brother Lu?"
Bai Jingteng's face remained expressionless, maintaining a facade of politeness.
"We need to speak with him about something personal."
Ma Xiaodong stood up, took a step forward, and still looked suspicious.
"If you really know Brother Lu, why don't you just call him?"
"Why are you coming to my dorm looking for me?"
Bai Yaohui, who was standing next to him, immediately became impatient, frowned, and was about to retort.
Bai Jingteng raised his hand to stop him, forcing him to swallow his words.
Bai Jingteng remained calm and explained:
"We're not very familiar with him, but there's something very important that we need to discuss with him in person."
As he spoke, he took out a gold-embossed business card from his pocket and handed it to Ma Xiaodong.
His tone was unwavering and left no room for negotiation.
"Okay, here's what you'll do: write down my phone number."
"When he gets back, please tell him to contact me."
"Just say that the Bai family from Jiangnan is looking for him and has something important to discuss."
Ma Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, looking at the other person's aura, he really didn't seem like an ordinary swindler.
He still reached out and took the business card, then casually stuffed it into the pen holder on the table.
He muttered something:
"Okay, I'll tell him when he gets back."
"But I can't guarantee whether he'll call back."
Bai Jingteng nodded slightly, said nothing more, and left with Bai Yaohui, who looked displeased.
The two men's leather shoes made a crisp sound as they walked away from the corridor floor.
Ma Xiaodong watched the two figures disappear into the distance and scratched his head, puzzled.
He turned to look at Li Mo, who was completely bewildered, his face full of confusion.
Ma Xiaodong began to complain:
"Who are these two? The Bai family of Jiangnan? They sound like a wealthy family from a TV drama."
"They all had long faces, like someone owed them eight million."
"Also, who exactly is Brother Lu? How come such a big shot is already showing up at the door so early in the semester?"
Li Mo pushed up his glasses and shook his head, looking equally bewildered.
"I don't know, but he doesn't look like an ordinary person."
"It seems our roommate is a hidden master."
