Chapter 11.1
Fu Shen was traveling with his teammates for a competition, all of whom were either sophomores or juniors except for him, a freshman.
Apart from Fu Shen, there were two other guys and a girl on the team.
Since they had booked early, they had multiple rooms, one for each of the four of them.
The female teammate was a junior who had heard about Tang Zhou and Lu Ye, the school’s most popular male gods since she first enrolled and over the past three years, she had been paying special attention to posts about the two, so she recognized them at first glance.
Feeling shy, she greeted them, “Senior Lu, Senior Tang.”
One of the male teammates, a sophomore: “….” ‘Is this still the same aloof junior sister?’
Lu Ye nodded, “Hello.”
Tang Zhou, whose shoes were already soaked through, was on edge and remained expressionless as he gave a slight nod.
As the link between the two sides, Fu Shen introduced everyone to each other naturally and finally asked Qiao Yuan, “Are you waiting for someone?”
Just as Lu Ye was about to reply with a ‘it’s none of your business’, Qiao Yuan complained, “The club organized a spring outing for us to come here and the weather forecast said it wouldn’t rain. We brought tents and planned to camp, but it started pouring before we even got to Fancheng. We couldn’t book a room online, it’s really unlucky.”
Qiao Yuan was fair-skinned, handsome and adorable. The junior couldn’t help but feel sorry for him and asked, “What about the others?”
“They managed to book a few rooms at other hotels with great difficulty and went their separate ways.”
The junior sister: “……”
And here she thought that people like Lu Ye and Tang Zhou would have luxury presidential suites wherever they went.
“This is too unfortunate.” The other two male teammates looked sympathetic.
Fu Shen’s gaze swept over Tang Zhou’s wet shoes and then his expression and he knew he was enduring discomfort. He proposed, “It’s raining heavily outside now and it’s inconvenient for you to carry your luggage. Why don’t you come up and take a break with us?”
Both teammates agreed in succession, “Yeah, we’re all students from Jiang University. Let’s go up together.”
Qiao Yuan was very grateful and wanted to agree, but seeing that Lu Ye and Tang Zhou weren’t moving, he didn’t say anything.
The junior sister advised, “Your clothes are all wet. If you have clean clothes, it would be more comfortable to take a shower and change into a new outfit.”
Lu Ye simply didn’t want to accept Fu Shen’s help while Tang Zhou felt a little uncomfortable.
The others assumed the two seniors were trying to save face, which was understandable given that they were famous students at school and had probably never been in such a miserable state before.
Fu Shen smiled, grasping the important point, “It’s easy to catch a cold in the cold weather.”
Sure enough, Lu Ye turned his head and seeing Qiao Yuan’s pale face and slightly trembling lips, felt distressed and could only ‘put down his dignity’ temporarily.
“Then thank you, juniors.”
Qiao Yuan’s eyes brightened, “Thank you, Fu Shen, seniors.”
Two of the three people had agreed, so the remaining one could only follow along.
Remaining silent, Tang Zhou pulled his luggage, sticking to the back.
Fu Shen waited a few steps and called out to Tang Zhou as he passed by, “Senior.”
His voice was so soft and deep that it was difficult not to hear him even if he didn’t want to as it drilled into his ear.
Stopping in his tracks, Tang Zhou raised his eyebrows.
And while he was distracted, Fu Shen quickly took his suitcase, “Let me help you.”
Tang Zhou avoided him instinctively, “What are you doing?”
“It’s a big brother’s duty to help his little brother. It’s only natural.”
The scene of getting drunk suddenly flashed through Tang Zhou’s mind and his cheeks burned while his gaze remained cold.
“I’m older than you.”
Fu Shen chuckled and walked towards the elevator.
“Then let’s take it as respecting the elder and loving the young.”
He was both Senior Tang’s Junior Fu and Tang three years old’s big brother.
The other people in the elevator called out to Tang Zhou, “Senior, come on in.”
Tang Zhou had no choice but to step in, remaining expressionless.
The other three teammates thought that Tang Zhou was always so aloof, so they didn’t think anything was wrong.
One teammate patted Fu Shen’s shoulder and whispered, “Not bad, junior. I didn’t expect you and Tang Zhou to be acquaintances.”
Fu Shen smiled but didn’t say anything.
Another teammate suggested, “Since seniors and our junior didn’t book a room, why don’t we just squeeze together tonight? Two people can share one bed.”
Apart from one girl, all the others were boys, so two in one bed was just right.
“That’s a good idea. It’ll be lively with more people and we can play games together at night.” The teammate who had whispered to Fu Shen added, “Senior Lu, if you don’t mind, you can stay with us tonight.”
Lu Ye had no problem with that and seeing the gratitude on Qiao Yuan’s face, he knew he would be willing. Then he looked at Tang Zhou.
Sure enough, he was still sporting that world-weary look.
Lu Ye said politely, “Then thank you juniors.”
Meeting fellow alumni outside was their luck. When they returned to Jiang City, they would find a chance to invite them to dinner.
The group of people walked out of the elevator.
“Don’t be polite, we’re all from Jiang University, meeting outside is fate.”
“Yeah, but how should we divide the rooms? Seniors, do you want to choose first?”
Lu Ye didn’t want Qiao Yuan to sleep with someone else and so apologized, “Qiao Yuan’s health is not good and I’m afraid he’ll catch a cold from being in the rain. I want to stay with him tonight, but I’m afraid it’ll trouble you.”
“There’s no trouble, there’s no trouble.” The two male teammates hooked arms, “Then Senior Lu and Qiao Yuan can stay in one room and we’ll stay in another. Senior Tang can stay with Fu Shen…”
Tang Zhou opened his mouth.
Fu Shen interjected quickly, “That’s settled then.”
After speaking, he turned to Tang Zhou and said, “Senior Tang, please bear with it for tonight.”
Tang Zhou had no choice but to express his gratitude and follow behind Fu Shen.
