ăThe next morning.ă
Ning Ruoxi groggily awoke from her dreams. She suddenly felt like she was hugging a furnaceâit was toasty and very warm...
Huh?
âHow come this thing is breathing?â
Ning Ruoxi seemed to realize something. All her sleepiness vanished as she snapped her eyes open.
The moment she did, she saw Ye Ling right in front of her.
Of course, Ye Ling was already awake.
As for why...
Donât even ask. The girl had been fidgeting ever since she started to wake up. Besides, he had been holding her as they slept. How could he possibly not wake up?
"Sweetheart, good morning."
Ye Ling blinked, greeting his little cutie.
Ning Ruoxi just stared blankly at Ye Ling.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
"AHH!"
The next moment, Ning Ruoxi let out a sudden scream and instinctively kicked out.
The kick was faster than you could possibly imagine!
Ye Ling didnât even have time to react before he was kicked right onto the floor.
"Holy shit!"
The moment Ye Ling landed hard on the floor, Lord Ye was completely dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at Ning Ruoxi on the bed, feeling utterly defeated.
âDamn it, I actually got kicked out of bed by my own girl first thing in the morning!?â
âWhat kind of move was that?!â
"Sweetheart, wasnât that a little too harsh?"
Ye Ling said with a wry smile, his eyes tinged with a hint of grievance.
"Uh... sorry about that. IâI wasnât thinking straight."
Ning Ruoxi snapped back to her senses. Seeing Ye Ling on the floor after sheâd kicked him out of bed, she rubbed her head, a little embarrassed. Then, with a blush creeping up her pretty face, she scoffed lightly, "Itâs your fault, you pervert! What were you doing climbing into my bed!?"
Hearing this, Ye Ling stood up while rubbing his lower back and flashed a wicked grin. "Then why donât you take a look at whose bed this is?"
Ning Ruoxi froze at his words, her eyes filled with confusion and panic.
âCould it be? Last night, did I...â
However, Ning Ruoxi quickly glanced around the room and realized that it was, in fact, her own room.
And at that moment, she also realized Ye Ling was just teasing her!
"This *is* my room!"
Ning Ruoxiâs beautiful eyes widened as she glared at Ye Ling, saying angrily yet playfully.
"So smart! But thereâs no prize, hehe!"
With another sly laugh, Ye Ling darted out of the room like a wisp of smoke.
Ning Ruoxi watched him go, recalling the mischievous look on his face. An exasperated smile couldnât help but appear on her face.
"That rotten jerk!"
"But..."
Ning Ruoxi seemed to think of something, and a crimson blush once again bloomed on her pretty face...
...
The dorms for the new students at Modu University were mainly located in Area Three and Area Four. Area Three was for male students, and Area Four was for female students.
"Hey, girlie. No attracting a swarm of admirers, you hear me?"
Ye Ling said, looking at Ning Ruoxi and reaching out to pinch her cheek.
"Mmm, I know~ There are so many people here, donât mess around~"
Ning Ruoxiâs pretty face flushed red as she quickly pushed his hand away.
"Whatâs wrong with it? Pretty much everyone at Modu University knows youâre my girlfriend now anyway."
Ye Ling said with a wicked grin.
"Youâre impossible!"
Ning Ruoxi huffed lightly and pulled Luo Yue by the hand, heading toward the Area Four dorm building.
Seeing Ning Ruoxiâs shy and flustered appearance, Ye Ling couldnât help but smile before heading toward the Area Three dorm building.
âTruthfully, I donât know which specific dorm room Iâve been assigned to. But since the dorm group chat is called â3222 Demon Lord of Chaos,â it has to be â3222,â right?â
A little unsure, Ye Ling walked to the middle building in the Area Three dorms, which was Building Two, and found room â3222.â
Inside, the three guys in the dorm were already up.
After all, it was their first night at the university; they were too excited to sleep.
"Brother Ye Ling?"
A guy wearing a tank top walked out and called out to Ye Ling with some confusion.
"Yeah, Iâm Ye Ling."
Ye Ling nodded.
"Holy shit, Brother Ye Ling, youâre way too handsome! Iâm He Jian!"
He Jian exclaimed, then shouted into the dorm, "You two, get out here! Brother Ye Ling has arrived!"
Immediately, two other guysâone chubby, one tall and skinnyâwalked out from inside. When they saw Ye Ling, they both broke into wide grins.
"The chubby one is Yang Yu, and the tall, skinny one is Yang Yefeng."
He Jian introduced them to Ye Ling with great enthusiasm.
"What do you mean, chubby? This is called sturdy, okay!?"
Yang Yu immediately retorted, clearly unhappy with He Jianâs introduction.
"Youâre just chubby. Look at Brother Ye Ling, *thatâs* what you call a good build, okay!? Look at his physique, and then look at you. Donât you think itâs time to lose some weight!?"
He Jian didnât hesitate to mock him.
"You son of a bitch, Iâm gonna beat your ass!"
Yang Yuâs eyes widened as he charged at He Jian. It was obvious he wasnât really angry, just roughhousing.
Instantly, hearty laughter filled the dorm room.
Although Ye Ling had only known He Jian and the others for ten-odd minutes, he quickly integrated into the small group.
It was mainly because they were all pretty straightforward, without any scheming or backstabbing, so it was easy for them to open up and chat.
"Tsk, tsk, I gotta say, Brother Ling, youâre seriously handsome. Itâs unreal. When will I ever have a physique like yours?" Yang Yu sighed, looking at Ye Ling.
As he spoke, he looked down at his own stomach, let out a small breath, and his potbelly stuck out, which made even Ye Ling crack a small smile.
This Yang Yu was like a class clown, a genuinely amusing person.
"Youâll get handsome one day, too. Of course, youâll still be just a little bit worse off than me."
Ye Ling said with a light laugh.
"Whoa, Brother Ling, arenât you a little too shameless?" He Jian and Yang Yefeng couldnât help but chime in from the side.
"My abilities just donât allow for modesty."
Ye Ling sighed.
"Nope, I think we need to teach Brother Ling a lesson!"
He Jian let out a wicked grin, exchanged a look with the other two, and they all pounced on Ye Ling at the same time.
About a minute later.
The dorm room suddenly fell silent.
And there, Ye Ling was standing, while He Jian and the other two were pinned to their beds, their expressions absolutely priceless.
Thatâs right.
The three of them together were still no match for Ye Ling alone. He had taken them all down with ease!
