"It's time to go downstairs."

"I don't need you to tell me, I know."

Yes, it is human nature to treat others of the same kind (here referring to males) with indifference and sarcasm.

No wonder I haven't been able to keep any friends since birth.

"Don't forget to lock the door."

I instructed He Yuqing, who is lagging behind me. I still find the name very awkward.

Are you sure it's appropriate for a boy to have a girl's name? Is it really manly?

"Okay..." He Yuqing wasn't angry at all, but rather obediently locked the door.

"It seems everyone is here. We're a bit pressed for time. I wanted everyone to have a good rest, but in order to quickly adapt to the new environment, we'll have to compromise."

I was the last to arrive with He Yuqing. After the male housekeeper confirmed that everyone was present, he spoke like this.

"I'm a bit hungry."

"Come to think of it, it was really tiring..."

A few people muttered a few words.

"After the event, there will be a sumptuous dinner to welcome everyone. You can eat to your heart's content."

"Wow... Is that true?"

This group of hungry people instantly became enthusiastic upon hearing about the food.

"Alright... Now follow me. I'm sure the girls' team should be ready to go too. We can't keep the cute girls waiting and lose our gentlemanly charm."

As soon as this group of boys heard the words "gentlemanly charm," they became excited one by one.

Of course, except for He Yuqing, who had no excitement whatsoever. It's just that this guy actually peeked at me, and when I caught him, he seemed to cover up his act of peeking at me.

This is not good. I've already been targeted by a pervert as soon as I arrived here, and it's the same dorm. Goodness.

"Xiaofan, you're so slow."

When we went out, we saw the girls' team waiting outside, with energetic girl Chen Ling looking impatient.

"..." The male housekeeper could only smile helplessly.

"You boys are even more dawdling than us girls. This won't do."

Directly criticized by Chen Ling, but perhaps because we were in the wrong, the boys put up with it silently.

"While we still have some time, let me familiarize everyone with the school. The campus is quite big, so don't get lost."

"Okay..." Everyone responded in unison.

"Let's go..." Chen Ling shouted, and we embarked on a night tour of the campus under the cover of darkness. Such a fun activity.

"Jie..."

"Zhiye..."

"Are you feeling better? Is there any discomfort?"

"Much better. To be honest, it's thanks to that guy's mint candy, it got rid of my nausea."

I pointed to He Yuqing standing behind me.

"Hostility..."

Zhiye became alert like a cat.

"What happened?"

"Jie, don't speak."

"Why all of a sudden I can't speak?"

"Who are you?! What is your purpose in getting close to Jie? Are you trying to seduce Jie and take away his virginity?"

Facing He Yuqing's aggressive posture, he could only step back and put on a stiff smile.

"I will never give Jie to anyone. Jie belongs only to me. Anyone who wants to take Jie away from me can only die!"

Zhiye emitted a dark purple aura.

"Um... I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."

"Come and take my life!"

Zhiye grabbed He Yuqing by the collar. Oh no, this is not good.

"Zhiye... calm down. There are many people watching."

"Jie, have you developed feelings for this woman? Are you defending her? I will never forgive!"

"He is a man!" I couldn't care less anymore. If we don't resolve this trouble soon, we will end up making headlines.

"A man?"

"Yes... yes," He Yuqing was sweating from being scared by Zhiye.

"A man?" Zhiye gradually let go of his hand. "I'm sorry, I acted without knowing the situation. I can only apologize by disemboweling myself!"

"Calm down, Zhiye," I intervened.

"Jie... I'm sorry,"

"The misunderstanding has been resolved, isn't that good enough? Why did you have to do such a foolish thing?"

"This just sets me further away from being a qualified wife," Zhiye said dejectedly, but thankfully, she didn't actually think of suicide.

As I sighed, I sensed many gazes upon us.

"Are they dating?"

"It's so enviable!"

"They're spreading dog food..."

"Alright, alright, stop gossiping. That classmate over there, Feng Yu High School also prohibits dating, you know," Chen Ling said.

"..." I didn't know how to respond,

But this disturbance was calmed down thanks to Chen Ling's words,

"I'm sorry, He Yuqing. I apologize on behalf of Zhiye for startling you. I'll treat you to anything you want to eat when we have the chance, as compensation,"

"It's okay, I'm fine. Zhiye, right? Nice to meet you," He Yuqing smiled and extended her hand,

"There's only Jie who can touch my hand, so I apologize for not following the etiquette,"

"Ahaha..." He Yuqing could only smile wryly and withdrew her hand.

"Please forgive Zhiye's prejudice in certain areas,"

"It's alright, I don't mind,"

He Yuqing is very broad-minded, I truly admire her.

"This is the academic building. As for class allocation, we'll have to wait for the specific arrangements tomorrow,"

Chen Ling led us to the academic building. This building is much more impressive than the one in Oracle Secondary School. Not only are the desks and chairs like new, but they also have multimedia equipment. It truly broadened my horizons.

"Next, let's visit the library,"

"Oh wow..."

Everyone's mouths widened when we arrived at the library. This library is like the legendary repository that holds any book in the world.

I estimate that I won't be able to finish reading here in my lifetime, let alone one lifetime, not even several lifetimes.

"The library is only open in the afternoon or on weekends. To borrow books, you need to register and return them within the specified time. The books also need to be cherished. If someone damages them intentionally, they will be severely punished."

"Youjie, look, there are books about black magic here," Xiao He pulled out a book from the shelf, with a drawing of a grim reaper on its cover.

"Is it real?"

"Take a look..."

Out of curiosity, I took the so-called book on black magic. I hastily flipped through a few pages filled with incomprehensible text and drawings of bull and sheep heads.

"It's quite fascinating, isn't it?"

"Indeed... I didn't expect to find such a book."

"Jie... I recommend a book called 'No Longer Human'," Zhiye handed me a book.

"By Osamu Dazai?"

I glanced at the content, which seemed to be an autobiography.

"I recommend this book, 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' one of the four classic novels,"

"I recommend this book, 'The Tragic Doll'"

"I recommend this book, 'A Brief History of Time'"

"'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame'"

"'Resurrection'"

"'Little Red Riding Hood'"

"'To Kill a Mockingbird'"

Unconsciously, I had a stack of books in my hands.

"What are you guys doing!" I yelled, and the books in my hands fell down like a landslide.

"Didn't we say we should cherish the books?"

Chen Ling got angry, looking extremely terrifying.

"I'm sorry!" I had no choice but to apologize sincerely.

"Quickly put the books back in their original places!"

"Yes!"

"Ling Jie, you're too loud. This is the library," the male housekeeper reminded in a low voice.

"..." Chen Ling suddenly blushed, "Alright, let's finish quickly."

"I'm sorry, Jie," Zhiye squatted down and picked up the books one by one, feeling guilty.

"It's alright, I'm not blaming Zhiye. If anyone is to blame, it's this guy!" I pointed at He Yuqing fiercely.

"Youjie, I apologize!" He Yuqing clasped his hands together in a repentant manner.

"Never mind, I won't argue with you. Hurry up and catch up with the others. We've fallen behind."

As we caught up with the front, Zhiye and He Yuqing gave each other a look, as if they were about to fight.

Afterwards, we visited the gymnasium. It was really huge, making us question the meaning of life.

There is also a playground, and there is even a baseball field. After visiting these countless places, we finally came to the main event - the place where every student eats.

It wasn't too late, and the dining hall aunt was still working. But in front of us were many delicious dishes. In short, we couldn't wait and found a seat.

"I'm sure everyone must be starving. Please don't be polite and enjoy yourselves," said a girl wearing a secretary armband. She seemed gentle and cheerful.

Looking at the chicken rice in front of me, to be honest, I was hungry for half a day and this tempting food made me salivate a little.

I wasn't the only one feeling this shame. The overweight boy had already started eating like a starving ghost. Well, being stuffed is better than starving.

Whether it was chicken rice, barbecue pork rice, or eel rice, I ate them all. I ate until the dining time was over, and everyone was too full to walk. Maybe it was because I was too hungry, or maybe it was because the food was too delicious. I ate several bowls.

But there were also others, Zhiye and He Yuqing...

"I understand why Zhiye eats less, but as a boy, it's a problem if you eat so little," said He Yuqing.

"Are you drunk, Youjie?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I thought you were speaking nonsense."

"Huh? I haven't had any alcohol, and besides, underage people can't drink."

"But what you said just now sounded like something someone would say when they're drunk."

"I don't think I said anything wrong."

"What did you say?"

"I said, how can a grown man like you eat so little!?"

"Isn't that something a drunk person would say?"

"This is not about being drunk."

"Because only when you're drunk would you ask so many nosy questions..."

"..." I think I better not say anything to He Yuqing. One more word and I'll be considered an idiot.
