Lin Xian walked out of his room and saw three people entering the living room.
The one leading the group was a student wearing glasses, followed by two others who appeared to be his parents.
From their clothing, it seemed that their family wasn't too wealthy, and his parents looked a bit uneasy.
Seeing this, Lin Xian took the initiative to greet them: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt. My name is Lin Xian. What's your friend's name?"
"Zhang Kai!"
The glasses-wearing guy gave a shy smile. He wasn't tall, had a slightly darker complexion, and his smile had a simple charm to it.
"We'll be dorm mates from now on. Please take care of me," Lin Xian said with a smile.
Although they were the same age, Zhang Kai was initially a bit reserved, but he soon warmed up to Lin Xian.
"Lin Xian, didn't your parents come with you?" Zhang Kai put down his bags and asked curiously.
Lin Xian nodded and replied, "My home is close to Jinling, so I didn't have them come."
"You're really something!" Zhang Kai's eyes showed a trace of admiration. After touring the dorm, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect the dorms at Jinling University of Finance and Economics to be this good. They're even better than the conditions at my house."
Zhang Kai's parents were also quite satisfied with the dorm, but when they heard that renting the air conditioner required extra money, they looked a bit uncomfortable.
After making his bed and organizing his things, Zhang Kai's father spoke up: "Lin Xian, my son is a bit stubborn. Please take care of him in the future. Thank you!"
Though he wasn't very articulate, it was obvious to him that despite Lin Xian being younger, he had good social skills, far more mature than his own son.
Lin Xian smiled: "Uncle, don't worry. We're dorm mates, and we'll be spending the next four years together. I'll definitely look out for him."
Zhang Kai's father gave a hearty smile and then reminded his son: "Your mother and I are leaving now. If you need anything, just give us a call."
Just as Zhang Kai's parents left, another student walked into the dorm.
This student, like Lin Xian, had come alone to check in.
He had a trendy haircut, wore a Givenchy T-shirt, and was sporting a pair of AJ sneakers.
"Hey, you guys came pretty early! I'm Wang Zejing, what's your name?" Wang Zejing greeted them casually, pulling out a pack of "Ninety-Five Prestige" cigarettes as he spoke.
Zhang Kai waved his hand and declined: "I'm Zhang Kai, I don't smoke!"
"You don't smoke? Well, just try it, what kind of man doesn't smoke?" Wang Zejing pressed a cigarette into Zhang Kai's hand and then offered one to Lin Xian.
"Lin Xian!" Lin Xian took the cigarette but didn't immediately light it. Instead, he gave Wang Zejing a smiling look.
From the brief exchange, he could already tell a lot about Wang Zejing's character. Coming from a wealthy background, he had a bit of a spoiled attitude, but overall, he didn't seem like a bad person.
As Lin Xian took the cigarette, Wang Zejing noticed the watch on his wrist, his eyes immediately lighting up. "Whoa, is that a Vacheron Constantin Overseas?"
"What's the matter? You like this model too?" Lin Xian smiled.
"Like it? I'm a die-hard fan of the Overseas series! I begged my dad to buy it for me for ages, but he won't."
Wang Zejing ogled the watch with envy and then eagerly asked, "Lin Xian, can I try it on?"
It was clear that Wang Zejing really admired the watch.
"Not a big deal!" Lin Xian took off the watch and casually handed it over.
Seeing how rough Lin Xian was with it, Wang Zejing's eyelids twitched with concern, and he said, "Bro, take it easy! If you scratch it, that's gonna hurt!"
Carefully taking the watch, Wang Zejing handled it as if it were a lover, gently inspecting it for a long while before finally putting it on his wrist.
Zhang Kai, seeing his exaggerated behavior, couldn't help but ask: "Is this watch really expensive?"
"Of course, it costs over two hundred thousand!" Wang Zejing answered.
When Zhang Kai heard this price, he was stunned.
His family wasn't very well-off, and his parents worked in a factory. After a month of hard work, they made about seven or eight thousand at most.
To suddenly find out that the watch was worth over two hundred thousand was a huge shock for him.
Wang Zejing, understanding the situation, took off the watch after a while and returned it to Lin Xian.
However, his attitude towards Lin Xian had clearly changed.
His family also had some assets—nothing too extreme, but at least a few million.
Even so, his father only wore a Rolex Submariner, while Lin Xian casually wore a Vacheron Constantin Overseas worth over two hundred thousand. From Wang Zejing's observations, it was clear that Lin Xian wasn't fazed by it at all.
This suggested that Lin Xian's family was at least worth hundreds of millions, with a very large flow of liquid assets.
Wang Zejing's family was involved in business, so he was naturally familiar with how to read people. His father often told him: "Learn to expand your social circle."
Wang Zejing lit a cigarette for Lin Xian and asked, "Where are you from, Lin Xian?"
"Jiangzhen City. From your accent, I take it you're from Jinling?"
"My family is from Jiangning," Wang Zejing nodded and then turned to Zhang Kai, asking, "What about you, Zhang Kai?"
"My family is from Lu Province," Zhang Kai replied.
Zhang Kai was smoking for the first time, trying to mimic the others, but after a puff, he immediately started coughing.
Seeing his pained expression, Wang Zejing patted his back and said, "It's okay. Everyone coughs the first time. You'll get used to it."
The three of them sat on the living room couch, chatting casually. Before long, they became quite familiar with each other.
As time passed, three more people entered the dorm.
One of them was named Wang Meng, who was Zhang Kai's fellow countryman.
Unlike Zhang Kai's slender build, Wang Meng was tall and broad-shouldered, a typical man from Liang Province.
But amusingly, his personality completely contradicted his physique. He spoke in a soft voice and had a delicate, effeminate demeanor, which made Lin Xian and the others feel uneasy.
While Wang Meng was setting up his bed, Wang Zejing raised an eyebrow and said, "Is this guy... gay?"
"Even if he is, it doesn't matter. We're not sharing the same room," Lin Xian laughed.
The other two were named Lei Hongguang, from Rongcheng, and Sun Jiacheng, from Lin Province.
Together with Wang Zejing and Wang Meng, they made up the group of six male students in the dorm. Lin Xian and Zhang Kai shared one room, while the others stayed in another.
After waiting for a while without anyone else showing up, Lin Xian asked curiously, "Are we only six people in this dorm?"
Wang Zejing was surprised: "Lin Xian, didn't you know? There are only six male students in our class, so we got assigned to this two-room dorm."
"Only six guys? How many people are in our class?" Lin Xian was stunned.
"Thirty-two!"
"Oh my god," Lin Xian muttered. "A class with thirty-two students, and only six guys. Jinling University of Finance and Economics really is terrifying!"
