Psst! We're moving!
I followed Shen Xi to the medical university.
The average appearance of the girls at the medical university still couldn’t compare to Weida University.
Lin Zhan felt relieved.
This time, it was Shen Xi who wanted to put the other person on a pedestal.
Seeing that people were looking at Lin Zhan as she walked, Shen Xi, as if declaring his sovereignty, pulled Lin Zhan closer to him.
Lin Zhan frowned and looked at Shen Xi impatiently.
Shen Xi paused.
Lin Zhan opened her mouth and asked him, “Is it my fault that I’m rich and handsome?!”
“...”
Shen Xi said, “My fault.”
________________________________________
As soon as we entered Shen Xi’s dorm room, we found that the other three boys had already arrived.
These three bespectacled boys were quite different from Shen Xi in style.
Standard science guys: buzz cuts, black-rimmed glasses, shirts tucked into jeans, sneakers.
Lin Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shen Xi, as her boyfriend, under her influence, had good taste and wasn’t so much like... a rigid straight man.
The three boys apparently hadn’t anticipated that this last roommate would be like someone from another dimension.
The dorm was silent for three seconds.
Lin Zhan knocked on the door and said, “Hello everyone, can I come in?”
Someone said, “Ah, yes, you can.”
Considering that Shen Xi was slow to warm up and didn’t talk much, Lin Zhan said while tidying his desk, “His name is Shen Xi, the ‘Xi’ from ‘extinguish’.”
The others introduced themselves one by one.
One brave guy, seeing Lin Zhan was easy to talk to, then said, “We were just guessing if the last roommate would wear glasses. Didn’t expect a handsome guy.”
Lin Zhan was about to reply, but Shen Xi cut her off, saying, “Mm.”
...
I know that’s your catchphrase, and I know you don’t want others to chat with me, but when complimented, can we at least be a little modest?
The guy named Wu Peng asked, “Your girlfriend, from Weida University across the way?”
Shen Xi answered while tidying his clothes, “Mm.”
Lin Zhan turned around and smiled: “He’s not very talkative, don’t mind him. He’s actually very easy to get along with.”
Seeing Lin Zhan arranging things on the desk, someone chuckled: “Having a girlfriend makes a difference, double the care.”
After cleaning up Shen Xi’s belongings, Lin Zhan washed her hands.
She asked, “Are you guys going out to eat?”
Shen Xi said, “My treat.”
“No, no need. You two go eat. We won’t be a third wheel. I heard there’s a really good restaurant about a hundred meters ahead; you can try it.”
After chatting for a bit, Lin Zhan and Shen Xi left first to find a place to eat.

After leaving the school, Lin Zhan sighed.
Shen Xi: “What’s the sigh for?”
She looked at Shen Xi’s face: “When I was little, I had dreams about doctors, you know, the kind with really handsome faces and hands, and who were super gentle... I only learned when I grew up that those only exist in novels and TV shows. Didn’t expect, in my lifetime, to meet a real Jiang Zhishu.”
After thinking for a moment, she hugged Shen Xi’s arm tighter: “When you become a doctor in the future, there will definitely be many people who only book appointments with you because of your looks. Just thinking about it is terrifying... And doctors have that special professional halo. You might save one person, and then that girl will fall madly in love with you and come to see you every day...”
Shen Xi said, “Doctors usually wear masks.”
Lin Zhan was even more serious: “Can wearing a mask hide your beauty? No.”
After a moment of thought, Shen Xi asked, “Who is Jiang Zhishu?”
Lin Zhan scratched her head and said, “It’s a term to describe a rigid straight man who’s as straight as a tree, like you.”
“...”

Military training began a few days after registration.
It was the start of the school year, and although the sun wasn’t as scorching as in W City, exposing skin to direct sunlight for several hours could still lead to dehydration and discomfort.
Fortunately, Lin Zhan had bought plenty of sunscreen and stored it in her bag before school started, just in case.
The entire military training lasted fifteen days.
So when Lin Zhan pulled out three bottles of sunscreen and two spray cans from her bag, the entire dorm expressed their awe.
“You bought so much sunscreen?” Luoluo looked at the small golden bottle in her hand. “Although you need to reapply sunscreen frequently, one bottle should last twenty days without a problem.”
“Is that so,” Lin Zhan looked at the bottles and jars on her desk, “How often do we get time to reapply sunscreen?”
“A break every two hours.”
Lin Zhan nodded and said, “Then I’ll give two bottles to Shen Xi.”
Luoluo looked at her: “Will he use it? I’ve never seen a straight guy use sunscreen my whole life.”
When they went out for lunch that day, Lin Zhan, through persistent coaxing, finally managed to get the sunscreen into Shen Xi’s pocket.
Shen Xi was still quite reluctant: “If I get tan, I get tan. It’s no big deal.”
Lin Zhan coughed, then slowly said, “I’ll dislike you.”
She wouldn’t actually dislike him, but there were many downsides to prolonged sun exposure, including the possibility of sunburn.
Saying she’d dislike him was just meant to scare him.
“You absolutely must remember to put it on,” she repeatedly warned him when they parted ways, “I’ll check.”
________________________________________
Military training began.
After an hour of standing at attention and an hour of left and right turns, the instructor finally relented.
“Everyone dismiss, ten minutes break!”
Shen Xi walked to the shade of a tree and pulled out a bottle of mineral water from his bag.
While he was drinking, his roommates cast envious glances into the distance: “Damn, sunscreen!”
Shen Xi looked over and saw a few people applying sunscreen.
“How could I completely forget about this...?” someone complained, “I’m practically peeling already.”
“Don’t dream,” another person chuckled bitterly, reaching down to pull out a handful of grass from underfoot, “Only people with girlfriends are qualified to enjoy sunscreen. We’re destined to get tanned like dogs.”
Suddenly, everyone thought of something and collectively looked at Shen Xi: “...Big shot, you have sunscreen, right?”
Shen Xi: “...”
He was reluctant, but the people around him were very eager. They pulled out the spray and small bottle from his bag, quite earnestly: “Let me see, what’s the difference between these two...?”
Shen Xi repeated Lin Zhan’s words: “The one in the bottle is for your face; the spray is for your body.”
A few people sprayed the whole area, creating a smoky mess, having a blast. Shen Xi didn’t move an inch, letting them spray him all over like a guinea pig.
“Quick, quick, everyone extend your arms, after we spray, we’ll gather!”
Their area was lively, attracting attention and groans, everyone’s faces filled with envy.
The person responsible for spraying said, “It’s nice to cool down under a big tree. I feel like nobility now.”
“And it’s all thanks to Shen Xi.”
So, throughout the entire military training, Shen Xi was forced to use sunscreen. In the end, he truly only got a little darker.
Later, Lin Zhan jiggled his empty sunscreen bottle, somewhat surprised: “You sprayed so diligently? It’s already used up? I still have most of mine left.”
Shen Xi: “All four of us in the dorm were using it.”
He couldn’t understand why those guys could be so enthusiastic about sunscreen.
Lin Zhan saw through his thoughts and explained, “You’re taking your blessings for granted, you know? If one day you don’t have a girlfriend, you’ll be envious of others too.”
She told her roommate Luoluo about this, and Luoluo burst into laughter: “Let me tell you something even funnier. I once had a friend who liked a guy. She looked through his social media and saw a friend had taken a candid photo of him applying a face mask. I immediately said, ‘This guy definitely has a girlfriend.’“
“Guess what, he really did have a girlfriend, hahaha!”
“Guys who wear face masks are either celebrities or they have girlfriends. Absolutely, try it if you don’t believe me; it works every time, flawlessly.” Luoluo concluded.

Z City isn’t like W City; it gets as hot as a furnace in the summer.
Although they were undergoing military training, the sun in Z City wasn’t as scorching. After fifteen days of training, they got a bit tanner, but it wasn’t very noticeable.
She wondered how things were in W City.
So Lin Zhan sent a message to Zheng Yimian and Sun Hong in W City to check in.
Sun Hong: [I’m actually fine, just got a new nickname.]
Qi Lijie: [Stupid dog?]
Sun Hong: [Not really.]
Sun Hong: [African Black.]
Sun Hong: [Smiling.]
Qi Lijie: [Hahahaha so funny]
Zheng Yimian: [I applied sunscreen five times a day, and I still got a little darker... but I often skipped military training.]
Lin Zhan wondered: [How did you skip? We need a leave slip here.]
Zheng Yimian: [I met an alumnus from Chonggao...]
Lin Zhan: [?? Who??]
Soon, Zheng Yimian’s call came in.
Lin Zhan answered and asked her, “Who did you meet at Chonggao? So impressive, they even let you skip training?”
Zheng Yimian licked her lips and said, “Liang Yu.”
Lin Zhan frowned: “Liang Yu... who?”
“You probably haven’t met him,” Zheng Yimian gestured over the phone, “He’s very tall, very thin, and also very good-looking. On the first day of military training, he attracted a lot of people bringing him water.”
“He’s just good-looking? Isn’t he very good-looking?” Lin Zhan suddenly realized, “I remember hearing that name! From Class Six, right? Seems very impressive.”
Zheng Yimian chuckled: “I didn’t look closely, not very familiar with him.”
“Not very familiar and he still let you skip class?”
Zheng Yimian deliberated: “It was quite a coincidence. On my first day reporting, he was the one who welcomed me. He even introduced me to the entire school along the way, showed me to my dorm, and helped me remove the spider webs in the corner. He’s a really nice person.”
Lin Zhan: ...
This Liang Yu, according to江湖传言 (Jianghu rumors), seems to be very aloof. But the one Zheng Yimian described is a gentle guy, right?
Are they talking about the same person?
Lin Zhan: “The Liang Yu you’re talking about sounds so gentle. Too bad I haven’t met him.”
Zheng Yimian: “He’s alright, mainly because he’s a good person. I’m lucky; I often run into him.”
Lin Zhan hung up the phone with a skeptical attitude, then, worried she was overthinking, messaged Sun Hong.
[Sun Hong, who is Liang Yu?]
Sun Hong: [Handsome.]
Lin Zhan: [...Why so shallow?]
Sun Hong: [Why are you asking about Liang Yu too, hahahaha. I remember Zheng Yimian was so funny before, she told me Liang Yu might have a crush on her. I swear, this joke could make me laugh to death hahahahahahaha!]
Zheng Yimian: [You can go now too, I won’t stop you.]
Lin Zhan looked at the screen thoughtfully. Below, Luoluo called out to her: “Zhanzhan, we’re having a freshman welcome party soon. Should our dorm participate in a performance?”
Luoluo was the entertainment committee member, responsible for organizing performances. If she couldn’t get enough acts, she’d have to perform herself, which was a pain.
Lin Zhan said, “I’m fine with anything. If you’re short on people, I can go on stage.”
Luoluo made a note: “Wow, you’re so thoughtful. Okay, I’ve noted that down!”
Luoluo then said, “Hey, I saw in the group chat that this welcome party is a joint event between our two schools. You might even see your boyfriend.”
The dorm leader interjected, “Because our school has fewer people, and the medical university doesn’t have many acts to offer, they rely on us, so it’s been a joint event for the past few years.”
The youngest asked, “What’s the point of a joint event anyway? There aren’t any single handsome guys.”
The youngest asked Lin Zhan, “Zhanzhan, what’s it like to have a doctor boyfriend? Is he super strict and doesn’t let you eat spicy hotpot or anything?”
“Sort of,” Lin Zhan said, “But I can secretly eat it.”
The youngest then whispered, “Zhanzhan, you’re incredibly blessed.”
Lin Zhan: “Huh? What?”
The dorm leader chimed in: “Oh my god, is it what I’m thinking?!”
The youngest and the dorm leader immediately clicked, and gossiped excitedly with Lin Zhan: “Doctors know the human body very well, sensitive spots and all...”
Luoluo glanced at the youngest and chuckled: “Let’s put it simply.”
She tapped the table and coughed: “Isn’t it just about being good in bed?”
The youngest burst into raucous laughter, pounding the table.
Lin Zhan’s face instantly burned red: “Where did you get that information? Is it really that explicit?”
The dorm leader: “You’re so blessed and you don’t even know it. Just be secretly happy.”
The youngest was still laughing: “And Zhanzhan’s boyfriend has a very tall nose.”
Lin Zhan flopped down with a thud: “Enough!”
After tossing and turning for a while, she sent Shen Xi a message.
[Dr. Shen.]
About thirty seconds later, a message came through.
Shen Xi: [?]
Lin Zhan furiously typed on her keyboard. After finishing, she reviewed it herself.
Then she pressed send.
[I heard doctors... are very good... is that true?]
