Inheritors of Ancient Civilization

Chapter 8: Three roommates

In the spring season, there is still a slight chill at night. Xiamen is near the sea, and the sea breeze blows in gusts. Chen Jing's thin body shivers with cold. Luo Ding takes off his coat and drapes it over Chen Jing. "Sis, it's so cold, why are you wearing so little clothes?"

Feeling the concern of this newly acquainted junior, Chen Jing felt warm in her heart. But she didn't say anything. The two walked quietly on the school's path. The school's landscaping was also very good, with trees and gardens everywhere. It really deserved to be a first-class university in China.

"Sister, I'll take you back to the dormitory first, it's so late. I'll go back after you. It's not safe to be alone!"

"No, you're not familiar with it. What if you get lost later!" Chen Jing was really afraid that this junior would get lost. She remembered that she often got lost in the campus when she came here.

"Don't worry, I'm very smart. How could I get lost? Even if I do get lost, I can find her by asking!" Rodin insisted on taking her back first, but Rodin and the two had to walk toward Chen Jing's dormitory building.

Rodin had no other thoughts, only gratitude that he had met such a good person and could not be too ungrateful.

During their casual chats, the two got to know each other better. With their similar personalities, they quickly became good friends. From Chen Jing's words, Luo Ding learned many new and interesting people and events at the school. Always curious, Chen Jing finally asked about Jaina.

She said that the first time she saw Jaina's eyes looking at her, she knew for sure that Jaina was definitely not Rodin's sister.

Roddin did not refute, but asked her why?

"From her eyes, I saw... Never mind! I won't tell you. Even if I did, you wouldn't understand!" From Jaina's gaze, Chen Jing could sense that the woman really liked the man in front of her. But for some reason, it seemed like Rodin didn't care about her.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Chen Jing's dormitory building, where Luo Ding was stopped by the gatekeeper's aunt. The aunt looked quite curious. This girl, known as the top talent and beauty in the history department, had always been a solitary figure. Why was there a boy seeing her off today?

"Quiet! Who was that handsome guy you just sent back with?" As soon as Chen Jing returned to the dormitory, her three good friends surrounded her. It must have been someone who saw Luo Ding bringing her back. Chen Jing blushed! "No, it was a freshman I received today. He said he was afraid I wouldn't be safe coming back alone, so he sent me back."

"Hmph, still trying to argue? Your clothes! Ha ha!" Yu Shan snatched the clothes that Chen Jing was wearing and put them on herself! She even deliberately sniffed them with her nose! "Wow! So fragrant, a faint scent of men! Hehe!"

Chen Jing then realized that Luo Ding had forgotten to return his clothes! "Go to hell! Are you going to keep this up forever? He's really a new student we received today. If you think he's handsome, I'll call him out and introduce him to you another day. You guys are all flowered!"

"Hehe, but you have to be quiet! You bad woman, you actually went to the freshmen party. It's really like an old cow eating young grass..." Everyone was talking about Chen Jing, teasing her, making her face red and embarrassed.

"There is no......"

Luo Ding returned to the dormitory, only to find that the three classmates were already there. The dormitory had somehow gained two more computers and a TV. Two of them were sitting in front of the computers. One wore glasses, was slender and small, with a neatly trimmed haircut that looked very refined; the other had dark skin and short hair, looking honest and straightforward, clearly from a rural area; the third was lying on the bed, idly watching TV commercials. The one lying on the bed had a shaved head, looking tough and fierce, like a real labor reform convict! There was even a hint of menace in his eyes. Seeing Luo Ding come in, he shouted at the two people working on their computers, "Hey, I said don't just focus on playing games. Our last roommate is here, and you're not even welcoming him!"

"I'm Rodin," he smiled at him. "It's nice to meet you."

"Hehe." The bald man also smiled and walked up to Rodin. Rodin couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath. He was really a big guy, standing over six feet tall, and he had to look up to meet him! "My name is Liu Hu! We all come from the History Department, so there's no need for more introduction."

The two students who were playing on the computer also came over. The one with glasses spoke first, "My name is Du Feng, Du from Dujuan, sharp as a blade! Nice to meet you, Luo Ding." Luo Ding smiled politely at him.

"Hehe, I'm the only one left, my name is Ding Lei! We will live together in the future, we should unite, everyone says, right? Only by uniting can we not be bullied."

He is indeed a good boy...

On the first day of school, Luo Ding couldn't help but feel a bit excited. The early spring morning still had a slight chill, but the campus quickly came alive as the students woke up. A steady stream of people, in twos and threes, headed towards the teaching building! Luo Ding's four roommates were all from the History Department. They looked around and walked towards the teaching building together. Along the way, Luo Ding couldn't stop staring! Beautiful women! Everywhere he looked, there were beautiful women. He had never seen so many in his entire life!

Du Feng's little eyes were almost out of his glasses! "Wow! I didn't expect there to be so many beautiful women in college. Guys, we can't just go to this university for free. The tuition is so expensive, we have to get a few, or it won't be worth our lives!"

"Du Feng, stop daydreaming!" Ding Lei, who seemed to share Du Feng's interests, poured cold water on him. "You can only be a spectator. There are plenty of beautiful women, but there are even more capable men. We're not handsome, we don't have good looks or money. Girls these days are very practical. Wake up!"

A few people were discussing in a roundabout way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the classroom. The four of them chose a corner to sit down. Since no seats had been assigned yet, everyone was sitting with their newly acquainted classmates, chatting intermittently. The gender ratio in the History Department was severely imbalanced. Luo Ding made a rough calculation: including the four of them, there were only 14 boys in the class, while there were 47 girls. What an astonishing number!

As the school bell rang, Luo Ding's homeroom teacher walked in. To their great surprise, this teacher was so young! He looked around 25 years old, with a youthful appearance and a radiant smile. Tall and slender, he had a head of big waves and dressed very avant-garde, completely lacking the lifeless look typical of history department teachers! The girls in the class were utterly intimidated by him.

The female teacher gave him a mesmerizing smile, picked up the chalk, and wrote her name on the blackboard, slanted and clearly a new skill for writing with chalk. Looking at the slanted three characters: Wang Yuxin. The classmates in the class wanted to laugh but didn't dare! They were afraid of offending the homeroom teacher, as there is an old saying: "It's hard to please petty people and women!" Women are very quick to hold grudges!

The class was quiet, one second, two seconds, when Wang Yuxin turned around, finally someone could not help laughing! The laughter echoed in the quiet classroom!

"Finally, what are you laughing at, classmate?" Teacher Wang Yuxin followed the source of the laughter and looked over. It was a handsome male student, one could only describe him as handsome. Although it was her first year teaching, she had never seen so many handsome boys since she started school. Perhaps due to their similar age, Wang Yuxin's anger subsided somewhat. Clearly, she knew what the boy was laughing about!

The laughter came from Rodin's mouth. He could not help it. Although he had never been to school, he believed that even if he picked up a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard, he would not write such ugly words!

"Oh... this one, no, I didn't laugh. I just thought the teacher's handwriting was so beautiful that I couldn't help laughing!" Rodin stood up and answered obediently, like a gentle lamb.

"Oh, I see!" Wang Yuxin's face wasn't looking very good. "Please take a seat, classmate! Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Yuxin, and I am your homeroom teacher and counselor. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. This is my first year teaching, so I hope everyone can be supportive and cooperative with my work......"
