Chapter 14: CH 14

On Monday morning, Lin Xia got up early to run as usual. As soon as the alarm rang, his three roommates also got up. Lin Xia sat on the bed and looked at them. He was a little confused for a moment, “Why are you all up?”

“I want to lose weight.” Xiao Pang’s reason was justifiable.

Lin Xia looked at the other two silent roommates. Xiao Qian yawned and said, “I want to exercise.”

“Me too.” Xiao Zhao agreed drowsily.

“Alright then.” Seeing them like this, there was no way Lin Xia believed them, but he didn’t say much.

His three roommates are lazier than lazy. Yet they changed their attitude so suddenly? Who knows what they want to do.

Lin Xia went to the field with three deadweights. After a lap of 400 meters, his three roommates were almost dead from exhaustion. They gasped with their mouths open. Each breath seemed like the last breath.

After a lap, Lin Xia’s heart rate didn’t increase. Looking at the three battered people, he laughed, “Alright, you guys stop running and go eat.”

“We’ll wait for you.” The three said in unison.

“You guys are quite in tune.” Lin Xia slightly raised his eyebrows. “Then wait for me.”

When Lin Xia finished running, they went to the canteen together. Lin Xia and Xiao Pang sat down and waited while Xiao Zhao and Xiao Qian went to line up to buy breakfast.

The whole day, Lin Xia was accompanied by someone whatever he did. It can be considered being “served” by others. It almost reached the point where he just had to stretch out his arms to get dressed and open his mouth to get fed.

In the evening, after Lin Xia came out from showering, there was a pile of snacks and desserts bought by his roommates on the table, all of which were Lin Xia’s favorites.

“Say it, what’s wrong with you guys today?” Lin Xia turned his chair and sat down to face his three roommates.

“What do you mean what’s wrong? Are we different from usual?” Xiao Pang widened his eyes, trying to convey the meaning of innocence with his eyes.

“Xiao Pang, you came on too hard.” Xiao Qian covered his face and couldn’t bear to look straight at him. “You can’t be an actor.”

“Alright, just say it.” Xiao Zhao opened a bag of potato chips and nommed nommed and he asked, “Lin Xia, what’s the matter with you?”

“Don’t say if you don’t want to, but if you need our help, you can tell us.” Xiao Qian followed.

“Yeah, you have been in a strange state recently. It was even worse when you came back last night. I was so worried that I didn’t sleep well all night.” Xiao Pang sighed, holding his face with his hand.

“You snored so damn loud.” Xiao Zhao jabbed back.

“Focus on the main point! Main point!” Xiao Pang glared at Xiao Zhao. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

After Xiao Pang finished talking, three pairs of eyes looked at Lin Xia together. Lin Xia could even read the word “love” from the eyes of his three roommates.

“I do have something going on, but it’s no big deal. I can take care of it myself, you guys don’t need to worry.” Lin Xia thought for a moment and added, “I’ll tell you if I get a chance later.”

Lin Xia didn’t want to hide from people who care about him, but once bitten, twice shy. He once had a very good friend. Lin Xia trusted him very much, yet it turned out like that.

“Sure, but no matter what, we will always stand behind you! Whoever bullies you, we’ll beat them!” Xiao Qian’s chuunibyou syndrome came up, he got up and made some bodybuilding moves, which was cringe as hell.

Lin Xia’s roommates started to make a scene again. Lin Xia looked at them, it was obvious that they had talked about it, and said, “So, you three have a group chat behind my back?”

For a moment, the dorm was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.

“God is our witness! We didn’t talk about anything, only the proper matters. If you don’t believe it, I’ll show you the chat record.” Xiao Pang said as he took out his phone and began to call up the WeChat interface.

“Alright, just teasing you.” Lin Xia was just on the spur of the moment to tease them, not to call them out for punishment.

“No, you must look at it!” Xiao Pang handed the chat record to Lin Xia and swore to death to prove his innocence.

“Yeah!” Xiao Qian agreed, otherwise it would be bad if they made a disconnection before they saved their dad.

Lin Xia glanced at WeChat, the group’s name was also very chuunibyou – save dad.

Looking at what Xiao Pang considered as “proper matters”, it was all about him. From the chat record, he can tell that these roommates really care about him.

At the same time, Yi Shang sent a WeChat message to Lin Xia: Running together in the morning tomorrow, don’t forget.

He received a red exclamation mark.

Yi Shang stared at the red exclamation mark and fell into deep thought. What’s wrong with Lin Xia now? How can Lin Xia be even more difficult to understand than exam questions?
