Chen Lu pushed open the door, and Zhou Lin and Zhao Yu were already in the dormitory.

The two men immediately surrounded her as soon as they saw her.

"Confess!" Zhou Lin put her hands on her hips, narrowed her eyes, and adopted an interrogation posture.

"What's up with that junior?" Zhao Yu leaned closer, a mischievous grin on her face.

"How far has it progressed?" they both asked in unison.

Chen Lu blushed instantly.

"No... it's that person from the last bus. I just happened to run into him today, so I treated him to a meal."

She lowered her head, and her voice grew softer and softer.

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening.

"That person in the car? Is he the one you said saved your life?"

Chen Lu nodded and secretly glanced at her.

Zhao Yu's mouth opened slightly, she was stunned for two seconds, and then she slapped her thigh.

"What a coincidence?"

Zhou Lin, standing to the side, was also stunned for a moment, then blinked.

"I thought you were lying to me, is it really him?"

Chen Lu nodded, a smile involuntarily curving her lips.

"Yes, I was on duty at the front desk today and happened to run into him reporting for duty."

Zhao Yu clapped her hands, her eyes shining brightly.

"What a coincidence! I have to take this opportunity!"

She moved closer to Chen Lu and stared into her eyes.

"Invite him to dinner tonight."

Chen Lu shook her head, her ponytail swaying slightly.

"He had something to do tonight, saying it was a dorm dinner gathering."

Zhao Yu raised an eyebrow and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

"Did you ask beforehand?"

Chen Lu blushed even more and pushed her.

"Ugh! I just asked casually during a chat..."

Zhou Lin stood beside her, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Okay, okay, I was just asking. Do you know where they had their get-together?"

Chen Lu thought for a moment, twirling her fingers around the ends of her hair.

"That little street next to the school, it should be around five or six o'clock."

Zhao Yu jumped up from the bed.

"That's perfect! Let's go eat on that street and pretend we bumped into each other!"

Chen Lu paused for a moment, then blinked.

"That's not a good idea... They're having a dorm party, and we're going..."

Zhou Lin tossed her hair and raised her chin.

"What's wrong with it? Are we not good-looking enough?"

Zhao Yu also tossed her hair and struck a pose.

"Or are you not pretty enough?"

Chen Lu's face turned red again, and her ears were burning.

"you……"

Zhou Lin had already started rummaging through the cosmetics, calling out without turning her head.

"Quick, quick, there's still time! Hurry up and do your makeup!"

Zhao Yu also rushed over to grab the mirror.

Chen Lu stood there, watching their flustered movements, and couldn't help but smile.

I feel a little bit of anticipation in my heart.

......

Lin Dong pushed open the dormitory door, and Li Hu and the others had already returned.

Li Hu was lying on the bed, swinging his legs back and forth. He heard the door open.

"Hey, fourth brother's back! Where did you go for lunch?"

Lin Dong glanced at him and walked to his own bed.

Eat in the cafeteria.

Chen Long chuckled beside him, not even looking up, and continued organizing the things in his hands.

"Eating in the cafeteria? I was in the cafeteria just now and saw you with a pretty senior."

He spoke slowly, but his eyes glanced at Lin Dong.

Li Hu immediately perked up, jumped off the bed, and went to Lin Dong's side.

"Really? Fourth brother, you're amazing! You started putting in so much effort on day one!"

He crossed his arms over his chest, with a look on his face that said, "I see right through you."

Lin Dong didn't speak, but looked down and rummaged through the things on the table.

Li Hu leaned forward again and lowered his voice.

"Which college are you from, senior? Do you have any dorm sisters? I'd love to introduce you to them. I also want to have a beautiful campus romance."

He rubbed his hands together as he spoke, his face full of anticipation.

Chen Long looked up and adjusted his glasses.

"Take a good look at what the person looks like before you start dating."

Li Hu waved his hand, looking like someone who had been through it all.

"How could the girl the fourth brother has his eye on be anything less than stunning? You don't even need to look to know she's a beauty."

He chuckled and nudged Lin Dong's shoulder.

Lin Dong glanced at him.

"Just friends."

Li Hu was stunned for a moment, then laughed even harder.

"Friends? Eating together on their first day at school? Could they be childhood friends?"

He crossed his arms over his chest, his face clearly saying, "I understand, I understand."

Lin Dong glanced at him.

"no."

Li Hu chuckled and didn't press further, simply patting Lin Dong on the shoulder.

"Okay, okay, if it's not true, it's not true. Anyway, we'll have a chance to get to know each other in the future."

He turned around, walked back to his bed, and plopped down on it.

Chen Long chuckled beside him and continued tidying up.

None of them asked any more questions.

Xu Zang leaned against the headboard, holding a book in his hand. Hearing the laughter, he looked up, his lips twitched, and then he lowered his head to continue reading.

......

Six o'clock in the evening, at a grilled fish restaurant.

The four of them found a seat towards the back. The restaurant was quite crowded, with a lively, bustling atmosphere.

Li Hu took the menu and ordered the food.

"Give me a grilled fish, spicy, please. Also, a few cold dishes and two bottles of beer."

The waiter took down the order and left.

Chen Long glanced at Li Hu.

Why did you order drinks?

Li Hu chuckled.

"Let's celebrate the first day of school."

The dishes were served one after another, and the group ate and chatted.

Several girls' voices came from the doorway.

"How's this place?"

"There are a lot of people, it's quite lively, they should be inside, right?"

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chen Lu, Zhou Lin, and Zhao Yu pushed open the door and walked in.

Chen Lu spotted Lin Dong and his group's table at a glance and paused in her tracks.

Zhou Lin followed her gaze and her eyes lit up.

That's the junior from lunchtime! And those guys next to him... not bad, they're all pretty handsome!

She nudged Zhao Yu gently and lowered her voice.

"That's the table, let's go."

Zhao Yu nodded, and the three of them walked in that direction.

Lin Dong looked up and saw Chen Lu, and was stunned for a moment.

She changed her clothes.

She changed out of her denim shorts at noon into a plaid pleated skirt, paired with a simple white T-shirt. The skirt hem was just above her knees. Her hair was down, draped over her shoulders, and she wore light makeup, making her look fresh and pretty.

Chen Lu felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and her face flushed slightly.

Zhou Lin pulled her along and walked over, a smile on her face.

"Oh, what a coincidence! You're eating here too?"

Li Hu looked up and saw three pretty girls standing in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.

Chen Long also raised his head, glanced at Chen Lu, and then winked at Li Hu.

Li Hu immediately realized that this was the senior student who had lunch with Lin Dong! The two next to her were her dorm mates. My love has arrived.

Lin Dong glanced at them, then looked at Li Hu and the others.

"These are my roommates Li Hu, Chen Long, and Xu Zang."

Li Hu immediately stood up, a smile on his face, and extended his hand.

"Li Hu".

Zhou Lin smiled and took his hand.

"Zhou Lin".

Chen Long stood up, nodded, and had a faint smile on his lips.

"Chen Long".

Zhao Yu's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"Zhao Yu".

Xu Zang raised his head, glanced at them, nodded, and then lowered his head again.

Chen Lu smiled, her ponytail swaying gently.

"Chen Lu".

They all smiled and nodded.

Li Hu rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining.

"Um... how about we go together? There's no room left in the store, you don't mind, right?"

Zhou Lin glanced at Zhao Yu, and the two smiled at each other.

"I don't mind."

Li Hu immediately turned around and called for a waiter.

"Boss, could you please add a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks?"

Chen Lu sat down next to Lin Dong quite naturally.

Zhou Lin sat next to Li Hu, and Zhao Yu sat next to Chen Long.

Xu Zang sat alone on the far side, silently drinking water.

Li Hu had already begun to greet them warmly.

"What would you like to drink, senior? Would you like some more food?"

Zhou Lin smiled.

"You're quite enthusiastic."

Li Hu chuckled.

"Absolutely."

The atmosphere quickly warmed up.

Li Hu picked up his wine glass and swirled it in front of Zhou Lin.

"Come on, senior, it's our first time meeting, let me toast you."

Zhou Lin smiled and picked up her drink.

"I drink a beverage, you drink alcohol, isn't that unfair?"

Li Hu waved his hand.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll drink mine, you drink yours."

The two touched, and Li Hu tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

Chen Long also raised his glass and looked at Zhao Yu.

"Zhao Yu, a toast to you."

Zhao Yu smiled, picked up her drink, and clinked it against his.

"You guys can hold your liquor pretty well."

Chen Long smiled.

"So-so."

Lin Dong sat down next to her and picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks. Chen Lu glanced at him and asked softly.

Aren't you going to drink?

Lin Dong glanced at her.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Lu nodded, picked up her drink, and took a sip.

Li Hu has already started talking to Zhou Lin.

"What's your major, senior?"

"psychology."

Li Hu's eyes lit up.

"Psychology? Does that mean it can tell what I'm thinking right now?"

Zhou Lin smiled and glanced at him.

"You're thinking now, this senior is actually quite pretty."

Li Hu paused for a moment, then scratched his head and laughed.

"You...you figured that out too?"

Everyone laughed.

Zhao Yu and Chen Long started chatting.

"Do all of you who study computer science know how to fix computers?"

Chen Long smiled.

"More or less."

Zhao Yu's eyes lit up.

"That's great! Our dorm computers keep crashing. I'll ask you for help later."

Chen Long nodded.

"no problem."

After a few rounds of drinks, Li Hu's face was already a little flushed. He poured himself another glass and raised it to Zhou Lin.

"Senior, let me toast you again. May you become more and more beautiful."

Zhou Lin smiled and picked up her drink.

"You've got a good tongue."

Li Hu chuckled.

"To tell the truth."

Everyone laughed.

Chen Lu sat next to Lin Dong, not saying much, but the corners of her mouth were always curved in a smile. She secretly glanced at Lin Dong; he was eating his food with his head down, his face expressionless.

She asked softly.

"Your roommates are all quite interesting."

Lin Dong nodded.

"Um."

Chen Lu smiled and didn't say anything more.

The night outside the window grew deeper, but the noise inside the shop continued.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Yu got up to go to the restroom.

Seven or eight minutes passed, and they still hadn't returned.

Zhou Lin muttered, "Why did Zhao Yu take so long?"

Two more minutes passed, but there was still no response. Zhou Lin took out her phone and dialed, but no one answered.

Her expression changed.

"I'll go take a look."

She walked towards the restroom, turned the corner, and saw Zhao Yu being cornered by four men in the distance.

Zhao Yu hunched her shoulders, wanting to leave but unable to, as a man with dyed yellow hair approached her, his hand resting on her shoulder.

There were three others standing nearby, one bald and one tattooed, who were clearly not to be trifled with.

Zhou Lin didn't dare to disturb them and quietly ran back.

"Oh no! Zhao Yu has been cornered by four men!"

Chen Lu stood up abruptly.

Li Hu put down his chopsticks: "Where is it?"

Zhao Yu pointed in the direction of the corridor.

Li Hu strode forward. Chen Long and Lin Dong followed. Xu Zang stood up and silently followed behind. Chen Lu and Zhou Lin brought up the rear.

At the corner of the corridor, four men surrounded Zhao Yu.

The blond-haired guy grinned and said, "Little sister, don't go! Have a drink with us!"

The three people next to him laughed along.

Zhao Yu hunched her shoulders, her eyes reddening, wanting to leave but unable to.

Seeing them approach, the blond-haired man sneered.

"Oh, you've called someone over?"

Li Hu stepped forward and stood in front of them.

"What are you doing?"

The blond-haired man sized him up and down, then glanced at the people behind him.

Li Hu is somewhat muscular, but the other three are rather thin. Is that all?

He smiled.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to meet some beautiful girls. Is that not allowed?"

Chen Long stepped forward half a step, blocking Li Hu's side, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone.

"Gentlemen, there's no point in making a scene like this. She's a girl, and you guys are all grown men. It won't look good if word gets out. Give us some face and let's just drop this."

The blond-haired man scoffed.

"Give you face? Who do you think you are?"

He took a step forward.

"Let me tell you, this has nothing to do with you. Get as far away from me as possible."

Li Hu got angry.

"What did you say?"

Yellow Hair glanced at him, then at the people behind him.

Three skinny guys and one muscular guy. There are four of them on his side, what are they afraid of?

He smiled.

"I told you to get lost. Can't you understand human language?"

Li Hu threw a punch.

The blond-haired man dodged to the side and threw a punch back.

The four of them instantly started fighting.

Li Hu single-handedly carried the blond-haired man and the bald man, exchanging blows. Chen Long was entangled with the tattooed man when Lin Dong rushed forward and grabbed the tall, thin guy.

Xu Zang stood at the very back, took out his phone, and dialed 110.

"Hello, I need to call the police. There's a fight going on near the grilled fish restaurant on the commercial street next to the school."

He hung up the phone, took a step back, and shielded the girls behind him.

The scuffle continued.

Li Hu punched the blond-haired man in the face, causing blood to spurt from his nose. The blond-haired man cursed and lunged at Li Hu again. Chen Long and the tattooed man knocked over a nearby trash can and rolled on the ground. Lin Dong pinned the tall, thin man against the wall; the tall, thin man couldn't break free and kept cursing.

The sound of police sirens grew louder and louder in the distance.

The blond-haired man's expression changed.

"Walk!"

The four people tried to run, but it was too late.

Several police officers rushed in and pinned them all down.

"Don't move!"

Police station

The girls sat on the bench, and their faces didn't look good.

Zhao Yu was still trembling, and Chen Lu and Zhou Lin were comforting her.

On the other side, four boys stood in a row. Li Hu had a cut on his lip, Chen Long had a scratch on the back of his hand, and Lin Dong had some dust on his clothes. Xu Zang stood at the very edge, clean and tidy.

A middle-aged policeman walked over and glanced at them.

"Who called the police?"

Xu Zang took a step forward.

"I."

The policeman glanced at him, then at Li Hu and his group.

"Did they fight?"

Li Hu nodded.

"They started it, blocking my classmate from leaving."

The police then looked at the girls.

Chen Lu stood up.

"Yes, they attacked first."

The policeman nodded. Another policeman walked over, holding several sheets of paper.

"Old Li, we've found out. Those guys are repeat offenders. The one with yellow hair is called Liu Qiang. He runs a car repair shop and has harassed girls in this area several times. He's been in and out of jail a few times, but he's never repented."

The middle-aged policeman took the paper, glanced at it, and cursed.

"It's him again."

He looked at Li Hu and the others, his tone less fierce.

Are you students from Shenzhen University?

Li Hu nodded.

"Yes."

The police officer sighed.

"Alright, that's all. Hold those few for now."

He paused, then added.

"Next time you encounter something like this, call the police first. Your classmate did the right thing." He pointed at Xu Zang.

Xu Zang remained silent.

The police waved.

"Let's go."

It was already past nine o'clock at night when I left the police station.

A night breeze blew by, carrying a slight chill.

Zhao Yu said something in a low voice.

Thank you.

Li Hu waved his hand.

"It's good that you're alright."

Chen Long laughed beside him.

"Don't go to the toilet alone next time."

Zhao Yu nodded.

Several people standing by the roadside suddenly laughed.

Li Hu touched the corner of his mouth, grinning.

"Damn, that blond guy's fists are pretty hard."

Chen Long smiled too.

"You can take on two by yourself? That's impressive."

Zhou Lin called out from the side.

"Let's go, let's go back to sleep. You guys have military training tomorrow."

Several people walked towards the school.

In the darkness of night, two groups of people walked together, chatting and laughing.
