Luo Ziling returned to the dormitory to find Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang already sitting at the table, looking at him with serious expressions.

“What’s going on?” Seeing the strange looks in the three guys’ eyes, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but tease, “Are you preparing a three-court trial or what?”

“Sit down,” Cao Jianhui commanded Luo Ziling sternly, “confess honestly!”

“Do you know your problem is very serious?” Wu Longjiang slammed the table hard, “Such a major issue, and you dare to hide it from us, we are very angry.”

Li Fuming also chided unhappily, “Start confessing honestly, or from today on, you are no longer part of this dorm room, we’ll expel you from the dormitory registration!”

“There’s nothing to confess,” Luo Ziling ignored the three guys’ posturing, walked to his own bed, and sat down with a plop, “Get some sleep, we had military training all day, aren’t you tired?”

“Of course we’re tired,” Cao Jianhui grew even angrier, “but how comfortable you must be, taking a leave to chat up girls, and even deliberately hiding it from us.”

“I took leave because I really had something to do, I invited Yang Qingyin for a meal, but I didn’t use military training time,” Luo Ziling said with an air of not deigning to argue with them.

“If you don’t confess about your thing with Yang Qingyin, we’re not finished with you,” Cao Jianhui stood up from his seat, walked over and grabbed a broom, threatening Luo Ziling fiercely, “Confess quickly!”

Wu Longjiang and Li Fuming each grabbed a mop and dustpan, standing in front of Luo Ziling looking threatening, and warned that if he didn’t confess how he got together with Yang Qingyin, they would beat him half to death.

But Luo Ziling paid them no attention, adopting a demeanor of ‘what can you guys do to me’.

“Boss, just tell us,” Cao Jianhui ran out of options, threw the broom away, and sat down with a plop in front of Luo Ziling’s bed, “We are really curious.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After saying this, Cao Jianhui seemed to suddenly realize something, “That day when Lu Weiguang confessed, you rushed over like your life depended on it, is it possible that you hooked up with Yang Qingyin then?”

“Boss, just satisfy our curiosity,” Li Fuming begged. Wu Longjiang also kept clamoring on the side, insisting Luo Ziling tell them how he hooked up with Yang Qingyin, so they could learn something new.

Harassed to no end by them, Luo Ziling had no choice but to talk about how the two of them met, but he emphasized one thing particularly, “Actually, we are still just ordinary friends.”

“Yeah right, just ordinary friends, you were even holding hands and going out together,” Cao Jianhui looked at Luo Ziling with disdain, “You call this a confession? Took a stroll around Lake Wuming, met her and exchanged smiles, and hooked up just like that? Who are you fooling! If it were that simple to woo girls, by the end of five years at university, you could’ve started a huge harem, with more than three thousand beauties!”

“Second brother, you’re just less experienced,” Li Fuming pulled Cao Jianhui up from the bed, “Don’t you know, this is called love at first sight? Boss here is so handsome, the top candidate for campus heartthrob, it’s no wonder the Beautiful Lady Yang took a fancy to him, what’s so strange about that?”

“Exactly,” Wu Longjiang chimed in noisily, “Boss and Beautiful Lady Yang fell in love at first sight, otherwise how could they have gone out holding hands so quickly?”

“Boss, did you really fall for her at first sight?” Cao Jianhui giggled, placing his hand on Luo Ziling’s shoulder, and said dissatisfiedly, “Did you really trick Yang Qingyin that easily?”

“I’ve said it, we’re just better friends, and that’s all. Believe it or not!” After saying this, Luo Ziling couldn’t be bothered with them anymore and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When he came out after washing up, the other three guys were still sitting on the bed, enthusiastically discussing matters related to him.

Hearing the three guys growing more enthusiastic, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but become furious and warned them fiercely again, “Don’t talk to anyone about me and Yang Qingyin. If there are any rumors about this, I won’t let you off the hook.”

With that, one hand lifted Cao Jianhui’s body, which weighed at least 180 jin, into the air and tossed him onto his bed. Cao Jianhui was scared half to death, and the other two guys quickly agreed and repeatedly promised they would not blab, unless Luo Ziling himself spilled the beans first.

After showering, the four guys lay in their beds, casually chatting.

Luo Ziling had little interest in chatting with them, but the other three were very enthusiastic and quickly turned the topic to Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling ignored them and played with his phone.

As usual, there were many WeChat messages, but Luo Ziling only replied to the important ones.

A friend named “Yue” had sent him several messages, mainly asking if he was doing okay and whether he was still holding a grudge against his mother.

“I don’t seem to hold a grudge against her anymore; I just hope to see her soon,” Luo Ziling replied.

He intended to chat more with her, but after waiting a while without a response, he gave up.

Ouyang Huihui sent him several messages, all unfriendly interrogations and threats. Luo Ziling simply deleted them without replying.

Then he sent a message to Yang Qingyin.

Yang Qingyin didn’t blame him for today’s incident. Instead, she said his roommates were quite amusing, which made Luo Ziling feel less gloomy. He had been afraid that Yang Qingyin might mind or even be annoyed. Since she wasn’t blaming him, Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hey, Boss,” Cao Jianhui, from the bed next to his, suddenly thought of something, sat up, and said to Luo Ziling, “Today, Lin Lin asked us if we wanted to go to a cocktail party. One of her relatives is about to launch a business, and they’ll have a cocktail party at a hotel tomorrow night. She wants us to join them. Are you willing to go?”

“Not interested,” Luo Ziling refused outright.

“Boss, let’s go. I want to go,” Cao Jianhui giggled, poking his head over, “will you three accompany me?”

“Boss, you don’t know, after Number Two played the hero the other day, he has wanted to pursue Lin Lin. We all have to accompany him to the party tomorrow to make him look good and create opportunities for them,” Li Fuming said, sticking his head down from the top bunk, “It’s a great chance. If we perform well, Lin Lin will definitely see him in a new light.”

“Lin Lin comes from a good family; she’s a good match for Number Two. We should help make his wish come true,” Wu Longjiang chimed in, also eager to join the fun.

In fact, they just wanted to have a good time at the cocktail party, eat well, and naturally, they also hoped to play matchmakers for Lin Lin and Cao Jianhui.

Hearing what the three guys said, Luo Ziling thought for a moment, then agreed, “Alright then, if you guys want to go, I’ll accompany you!”

What Luo Ziling didn’t expect was that going to the cocktail party would stir up a whole new set of troubles.
