Chapter 144: No Fever, Just Feeling a Little Warm
With a dramatic push, the door to the dormitory swung open.
Instantly, three pairs of eyes landed on Dragon Brother.
“Old Awoe, we’re supposed to consider you our bro, but you keep messing with us! The cold beauty principal adding you as a penguin buddy is one thing, but how do you explain these two gals today?”
“Exactly, exactly. Just tell us the truth—thought you were a shy little virgin, huh? But then you go all in right in front of us,” they teased.
Hu Yu Ying’s pure-yet-tempting charm, Li Qing Xue’s lively grace—just casually picking one out, and she’s a top school flower, no doubt.
And here’s Dragon Brother, on his left, on his right—two girls. How is he supposed to face the three love gods’ reputation? Their envy’s making their teeth ache!
“So, you’re the one in the dorm who’s the biggest show-off.”
“You’re really bad, you know that? We haven’t even touched a girl’s hand yet, and you’re out here stroking goddess-level girls and getting head pats? d*mn it…” Huang Fei ruffled his hair in frustration.
“Hey, I gotta disagree with that,” Xu Shuai chimed in, extending his left hand with a wedding ring finger prominently displayed. “Don’t forget, I’m different—I’ve actually held a girl’s hand before!”
Facing their teasing antics, Dragon Brother grinned and said, “They’re all my friends.”
The teasing squad scoffed immediately, eyes narrowing sleazily.
“Uh-huh, friends, friends—but who greets friends with a head-pat, huh?”
“And the girl who got her head stroked—she didn’t resist at all and was even smiling so sweetly… so charming…”
Oops. Dragon Brother suddenly realized they were talking about Hu Yu Ying.
He thought for a moment—there was no way to refute it because deep down, he knew he definitely cared more for her.
And… thinking of that, Dragon Brother gently touched the corner of his mouth.
“Wow, Old Awoe—you’re really grinning so lecherously.”
“Just now you touched your mouth? Dude, was that a kiss? Such a sacred thing, and you…?”
“Get lost! She’s still so young,” Dragon Brother snapped, annoyed.
“But aren’t you only eighteen?” they fired back.
Dragon Brother froze for a moment.
For the longest time, whether helping Hu Yu Ying or comforting Li Qing Xue, he’d never seen himself as her peer.
He always looked at their issues from an elder’s perspective, caring for them because he was older—plus he’s a guy, so it’s only natural to take care of girls much younger than him.
But in their eyes? In everyone’s eyes, he was just… eighteen.
【Like a guy at eighteen carrying an eight-year-old, unconsciously tending to her.
Or a 28-year-old with an eighteen-year-old, instinctively looking after her too.
Even if this 18-year-old girl acts mature, in front of a 28-year-old, she’s still a kid.】
Because of this, Dragon Brother often unconsciously forgets that his own body is only eighteen.
Hu Yu Ying once said: “Brother Luo, sometimes you’re so mature, you don’t even seem your age…”
Li Qing Xue once said: “Dragon Bro, you’re so old-fashioned, you don’t have a bit of the energy you should for your age…”
Even the three new roommates once said: “Old Awoe, it’s like you have so many things hidden in your heart, always feeling like you can’t let go…”
And when Li Qing Xue saw herself hurt, she’d cry, acting more like a little adult, saying he wouldn’t listen—or won’t let her.
Because, in their eyes, Dragon Brother, who’s always caring for them, is just… eighteen.
And in his mind? Caring for two eighteen-year-olds seems only natural.
For a moment, Dragon Brother seemed to realize something.
If—if he weren’t a transmigrant, just a regular eighteen-year-old with a normal psyche…
He’d probably act just like his three roommates.
An eighteen-year-old girl, cold and pure, who adds her penguin to him happily, would be probably quite cheerful, right?
Facing those lively, charming eighteen-year-old girls—Hu Yu Ying with her pure allure, Li Qing Xue with her lively spirit—their left and right… he’d be vain, showing off a little, wouldn’t he?
Thinking of that, Dragon Brother took a deep breath, looking at the three of them:
“What are you guys doing? Bring me along.”
The three: “Chatting with the girls. It’s not easy getting into college, we wanna fall in love too…”
“Boring. I’d rather play Snake.”
“Snake? What the hell is that? Isn’t that even more boring?”
Dragon Brother ignored them and flopped back onto his bed. The phone he was pretending to play Snake on had already been knocked out by him.
He opened his phone, looking at the blinking red dot on Lin Wan Ning’s chat window that hadn’t been cleared.
Tapped to open the chat interface, then tapped out to clear the unread message indicator.
But as soon as he entered, he saw the penguin chat window show: 【The other party is typing…】
Dragon Brother initially thought it was glitching.
But strangely, after a short while, 【The other party is typing…】 disappeared.
And then, again, 【The other party is typing…】 reappeared.
He tried sending a message.
Back in the music college girls’ dormitory.
Seeing the incoming message from the other side made Lin Wan Ning’s phone slip onto the bed, both hands immediately covering her tiny face.
Her movements drew the attention of the other three girls.
“Wan Ning, what happened?”
“Are you okay?”
Faced with her roommates’ concern, Lin Wan Ning slowly lowered her hands: “Nothing.”
Nothing beats the embarrassment of being caught red-handed…
“Wow? Wan Ning, your face is so red!”
“And your neck and collarbones are flushed too. If I didn’t know you’re cool and aloof, I’d think you were acting coquettish,” they teased.
Lin Wan Ning bashfully lowered her hands and turned aside to avoid their gaze: “Not acting coquettish. Maybe I’m just a little hot.”
She looked at the reply she received.
Trying her best to suppress the urge to roll on the bed.
After all, there were still people in the dorm. To maintain her cool persona, she had to hold back.
Definitely couldn’t let them see she was actually feeling flustered.
Because that would be too embarrassing.
No one could tell that the cool-looking girl’s heart was actually trembling…
【Finally another tease, reward me! Please, go wild and reward me!】
