Going back to 18, demanding 30,000 yuan in compensation from the school beauty.

When the four roommates meet for the first time, after introducing their names, hometowns, and college entrance exam scores, the next thing they will definitely ask is their age.

These days, college roommates are still arranged by age, and you'll call them "eldest," "second," "third," and "fourth" to make it seem more intimate.

Geng Ziye also tried to do the same.

When asked about his age, it turned out that Li Shun, who looked the youngest, was actually the oldest. He started primary school at the age of 7 and is already 19 this year.

The other three were all born in the same year.

If we count by month, Geng Ziye is the second oldest, Lin Zhao is the third oldest, and He Ruiqi is the youngest.

He Ruiqi replied without hesitation, "Actually, there's no need to rank them. How close the roommates are doesn't depend on how they address each other. What do you think, Lin Zhao?"

Lin Zhao was suddenly called upon and instinctively gave a social smile.

Geng Ziye quickly chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, I think Li Shun isn't very talkative. If we keep calling him 'boss' all the time, he probably won't be used to it. Right, Li Shun?"

Li Shun looked embarrassed and nodded with a flushed face.

The three people formed a united front, whether willingly or unwillingly, so Lin Zhao didn't need to go against it. These kinds of things are all about mutual consent and letting things take their natural course.

The four of them chatted for a while longer, and their emotions became noticeably more relaxed.

At this moment, Zhou Rui pushed the door open and said that the counselor had asked him to collect the height and weight of the boys. He was going to pick up his military training uniform in the afternoon, and the military training would begin tomorrow morning after the freshman assembly.

After Zhou Rui left, Geng Ziye hurriedly asked, "Why did the counselor contact Zhou Rui? Is it to make him the class monitor?"

He said this to He Ruiqi, and when He Ruiqi ignored him, he looked at Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao didn't know her counselor and had no way of knowing what a stranger was thinking.

But as far as he knows, being a class monitor in university has real benefits, and it is usually a democratic election, so counselors don't and don't want to interfere too much.

Of course, they still have a voice.

After all, the freshmen have just come from high school and still have a lot of student spirit. If the counselor shows any bias, the students will mostly follow suit.

Faced with Geng Ziye's inexplicable worry, Lin Zhao gave a definite answer: "Definitely not!"

Geng Ziye's face lit up with joy: "Why?"

He Ruiqi also looked at Lin Zhao with great interest, wanting to hear why he was so certain.

"Didn't you hear Zhou Rui say that the counselor asked him to collect the boys' height and weight? That means there's also an authorized representative on the girls' side doing these things."

Lin Zhao analyzed the situation objectively, saying, "From this perspective, the counselor probably just picked two active people from the class group to temporarily take charge of the specific matters on both sides, and that's all."

Hearing this, Geng Ziye felt relieved.

"but."

Lin Zhao added, "It's only the beginning of the semester, and the counselor hasn't officially met the whole class yet. We don't even have the counselor's contact information. But Zhou Rui not only got in touch with the counselor, but also received a request from the counselor, which at least shows that he has this idea in mind. During military training, he can help with some miscellaneous tasks and gain favor among the students. Once he has a solid foundation, being elected class monitor after military training will be a natural progression!"

This explanation made Geng Ziye's expression turn sour again.

He Ruiqi asked him, "Old Geng, do you want to be the squad leader?"

Geng Ziye didn't expect him to ask so directly. He scratched his head and laughed, "I was the class monitor for three years in high school, so I have some experience. But I also know that college is different from high school. There are a lot more things to do, and I'm really not confident that I can do a good job..."

The implication is that he wants to be like them, but he feels that his opponent is too strong, so he doesn't dare to express it directly.

At this point, his roommate would need to say a few words, such as "Why worry about so much? Just do what you want" or "We all support you." He would then reluctantly agree to give it a shot.

He Ruiqi saw through his thoughts but didn't say anything, just smiled ambiguously.

Li Shun definitely wouldn't speak.

Seeing the atmosphere getting a bit awkward, Lin Zhao said, "Being a class monitor in university is definitely more interesting than in high school, but the competition will be much fiercer. If Lao Geng wants to compete, we, as his roommates, will definitely support him. But you need to think it through. Your competitors aren't just Zhou Rui; there are definitely girls too, and it's very likely there will be more than one, since there are almost twice as many girls as boys in our class."

Upon hearing this, Geng Ziye's expression became even more serious, and he waved his hand, saying that he hadn't thought it through either.

The topic then came to an abrupt end.

By the afternoon, all 12 boys had reported for duty.

The students wandered around the three dorm rooms, getting to know each other better.

Lin Zhao, as an actress, has been memorizing scripts for a long time, so her memory is pretty good. She has memorized about 11 boys, but that's about it.

Besides his three roommates and Zhou Rui from the opposite room, the person who impressed him the most was Tian Kepeng from room 314 next door.

While the other students were still reserved, this guy had already made the school his home. Whenever there were people in the dorm, he would grab his guitar and sing "Xiao Fang," acting incredibly flamboyant.

After the students praised it a few times against their conscience, no one went to 314 anymore.

In the evening, Lin Zhao returned from the cafeteria.

It was discovered that Zhou Rui had already taken three roommates to retrieve the boys' military training uniforms, which were being distributed at 341.

He Ruiqi had a strong opinion about the rough, baggy, and smelly military training uniform, and his disgust was impossible to hide.

Lin Zhao and the other two were fine, but Geng Ziye was worried that the next two weeks would be very difficult after hearing that the university military training was very strict.

Lying in bed that night, the four roommates had their first late-night chat.

The four people came from four completely different regions with vastly different living environments. So when they talked about their hometowns, the roommates could only agree with things like "I want to go there" or "One of my classmates got into your area," and they couldn't say anything else.

Therefore, it is difficult to delve deeper into this topic.

So in the end, all we could talk about were our high school romances.

Geng Ziye was very interested in this topic and asked the three of them one after another if they had ever been in a relationship.

When asked the question first, He Ruiqi replied, "It can't really be called dating..."

The few ambiguous words have sparked endless imagination.

When asked again, he stopped talking, so Geng Ziye had no choice but to stop while he was ahead.

Li Shun didn't even need to be asked; he's an honest guy, he definitely hadn't dated anyone.

Geng Ziye finally set his sights on Lin Zhao, and asked him in an ambiguous tone to tell him the truth.

"Explain what? I didn't talk about it!" Lin Zhao said.

"Fuck you, you think you haven't talked to anyone? Nobody believes that!"

Geng Ziye made a direct assertion.

He Ruiqi chimed in, "I also think you must have talked about it!"

Lin Zhao was speechless. He wondered what about him could be so easily misunderstood. He was clearly a pure and innocent virgin, yet he was inexplicably labeled a scumbag.

He explained repeatedly, his words ringing out, but his roommates still didn't believe him.

In the end, they had to bring up his father, who was a high school homeroom teacher, before the two men realized what was going on and expressed their belief.

Lin Zhao is not a gossipy person.

But judging from Geng Ziye's enthusiasm for the topic, he clearly hoped to be asked a question in return.

So he began, "Old Geng, you've dug up all our secrets, why don't you tell us your own! Yesterday you hurriedly answered a phone call and ran off, and didn't come back last night... There's more to this than meets the eye, isn't there?"

He Ruiqi responded with an "Oh" to show his interest.

Geng Ziye reacted very strongly, shouting, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, I didn't..."

He swore an oath and denied everything, like a comedian waiting for his straight man to chime in.

Lin Zhao realized that she was the only one in the dormitory who could take on this role, so she asked him out of curiosity and even blurted out "You motherfucker" a couple of times to express her sincerity.

Geng Ziye then changed his story and recounted the whole tale in great detail, embellishing and vividly describing it.
