The school dormitory is a very peculiar place. The girls' dormitory is a forbidden zone for boys; if a boy dares to cross the line, it's a death sentence.
However, the boys' dormitory is like a vegetable garden for girls; they can enter and leave as they please. So, when Song Shuhang brought a girl to the dormitory, he didn't encounter any obstacles.
Moreover, due to it being Sunday, most of the students in the dormitory building were out enjoying themselves or staying in to play games. When Shuhang brought Yoruzume back, it didn't attract much attention.
Shuhang's dormitory is on the second floor, and the building is equipped with an elevator. However, the residents of the dormitory usually take the stairs. It's only one floor, and the stairs are faster than the elevator.
"Do you need me to help you with your suitcase?" Shuhang looked at the large suitcase Yoruzume was pulling. As a gentleman, it was his duty to help a lady with her luggage and bags.
"Thank you, senpai." Yoruzume smiled shyly and pushed the large suitcase towards Song Shuhang.
Shuhang had seen Yoruzume pulling the large suitcase, and even lifting it over uneven terrain, all with ease. So, he subconsciously assumed that the suitcase wasn't fully packed and wouldn't be too heavy.
When his hand gripped the suitcase handle and he tried to lift it, his face turned red from the effort!
He strained to lift the suitcase a little, and it was a struggle—this suitcase weighed at least fifty to sixty kilograms, almost as much as an adult man!
He stared at Yoruzume with wide eyes, focusing on her delicate, boneless hands. Was this girl secretly a strong woman? She had been walking briskly with a 120-130 pound load without even panting?
He had naively thought she would be easy to carry off? With her strength, anyone who tried to kidnap her would need to prepare a coffin first.
"Senpai?" Yoruzume looked at him with confusion.
"Cough! Let's take the elevator." Song Shuhang quickly decided—lifting this suitcase up the stairs would be possible, but it would be exhausting.
"Oh." Yoruzume nodded, understanding but not fully comprehending. She was a good girl and wouldn't ask unnecessary questions. As a guest, she wouldn't interfere with the host's decisions; the guest follows the host's lead.
The elevator slowly ascended, and at this time, almost no one was using it, so they didn't have to wait.
...
...
The dormitory was empty.
Roommates usually came back in the afternoon, around three or four o'clock, and sometimes not until the evening.
The dormitory wasn't large, housing four people. It was small but well-equipped, with a bathroom, balcony, laundry area, and a small kitchen.
"Sit down for a moment. Would you like something to drink?" Song Shuhang turned on his computer and gestured for Yoruzume to sit.
Yoruzume obediently sat down and replied, "Lingmai Bicha."
"?" Song Shuhang was puzzled.
Lingmai Bicha? What is that? A new drink? He had never heard of it.
He paused for a moment, then quickly remembered the identity of the long-legged beauty in front of him—she might look young and beautiful, but she was a deep-seated xianxia otaku!
The so-called Lingmai Bicha was probably something the otaku in the group had made up.
Song Shuhang felt a twinge of pain in his liver.
"I don't have that here, but I have orange juice, purified water, cola, and milk. Choose one." Song Shuhang directly gave her a choice, fearing that Yoruzume might ask for something terrifying like 'Great Nourishing Dragon Blood Tea' or 'Phoenix Liquid.'
Yoruzume was taken aback—senpai didn't even have Lingmai Bicha?
Lingmai Bicha is the most commonly used spiritual tea for entertaining guests among cultivators. It contains very little spiritual energy but has a fragrant aroma and a rich, long-lasting flavor, making it the most cost-effective spiritual tea for guests. Moreover, drinking it can slightly enhance one's constitution, though not as magically as a pill. However, Lingmai Bicha is much cheaper than pills, and every cultivator should have it, right?
Wait, I get it!
Senpai is in seclusion, living among ordinary people. Some seniors, to train their mind, live among ordinary people every 150 years, living like a true ordinary person. This is called 'Red Dust Training'! Although it doesn't enhance one's strength, it can strengthen one's will and make one's mind clearer!
"Senpai, please give me some orange juice. Thank you." Yoruzume smiled sweetly.
"Sure, wait a moment."
A moment later, Song Shuhang brought a large glass of orange juice from the kitchen fridge.
Yoruzume took the orange juice and said, "Thank you, senpai."
"You're welcome." Song Shuhang replied. She was a good girl, with a good personality and manners. The only regret was that she was a bit of an otaku. He sat down at his computer and connected to the internet.
He skillfully opened Baidu Maps and entered J City, Luoxin Street.
The map quickly showed the location of Luoxin Street in J City.
"I checked, and it's quite far from J City, Luoxin Street," Song Shuhang said.
Originally, it would take about five hours to get from Jiangnan District Airport to J City, Luoxin Street by taxi. However, Yoruzume had gone to the wrong destination. Fortunately, Jiangnan University City borders J City, so it wasn't completely off course; she had just taken a wrong turn halfway.
Now, from Jiangnan University City, it would take about three and a half hours to drive to J City, Luoxin Street, not considering traffic conditions. In reality, the road conditions were poor, and it would take about five hours.
Yoruzume leaned in and, seeing the long distance, stuck out her tongue, "Senpai, can a taxi reach such a long distance?"
"It can, but not many drivers would be willing to," Song Shuhang said.
He then explained to Yoruzume.
A five-hour drive is quite far. Although taxis in the nearby districts of Jiangnan can operate across cities, most have shift changes.
Moreover, a five-hour trip there and another five-hour trip back, totaling ten hours, would require several drivers. This is something that money can't easily solve.
"What should we do?" Yoruzume asked.
"Let's take the high-speed train. There's a station near J City, Luoxin Street called Heixiang Station. There's also a station near our university city. The high-speed train is faster than a taxi and can get us there in about two hours," Song Shuhang explained.
"When should we leave?" Yoruzume's eyes lit up.
"No rush. We can book tickets online now. I checked, and the high-speed train from the university city station to Heixiang Station departs at 4 PM. So, we just need to be at the station by 3:30 PM for boarding."
Wait, what?
When should we leave? We?
Does this girl think I'll accompany her to J City, Luoxin Street?
I have classes tomorrow; I'm still a student and can't just leave whenever I want!
"Senpai, let's quickly book the tickets online. Do you need my ID?" Yoruzume said happily, feeling very fortunate to meet such a helpful senpai.
"Cough, we?" Song Shuhang's cold cough flared up again: "You mean two tickets? For you and me?"
"Ah? Senpai, aren't you coming with me?" Yoruzume was taken aback and blushed.
She had been too excited and subconsciously assumed that Song Shuhang would accompany her to J City without asking for his opinion, which was very impolite.
"Senpai, I was too impolite just now. I didn't even ask for your opinion. Senpai, could you please accompany me to J City, Luoxin Street? I really... have a poor sense of direction and I'm afraid I won't be able to find the Oni Light Temple," Yoruzume pleaded.
Song Shuhang sighed and declined, "Although I want to help you, I'm afraid I can't."
The 4 PM train would arrive around 6:30 PM. It's unclear what Yoruzume needs to do there, and it's uncertain when she would finish. But it's clear that they wouldn't be back by noon the next day.
And he has classes in the afternoon tomorrow!
Yoruzume was very disappointed, her feelings clearly written on her face: "Senpai, do you not have time?"
"Yes, I have classes in the afternoon tomorrow," Song Shuhang replied.
Seeing Yoruzume, who looked almost ready to kneel in disappointment, he suddenly felt that his refusal might have been too harsh and might have hurt her fragile heart.
Thinking about this, he added, "If... I mean, if Yoruzume isn't in too much of a hurry, I could accompany you to J City next Friday. I'm a student, and I only have weekends off."
Next Friday? Yoruzume was still disappointed. Although she wasn't in a rush, five days seemed a bit long. Her father, though fond of pranks, wouldn't stay with Sanlang Kuangdao for ten to fifteen days.
But suddenly, she had an idea and her eyes lit up. She asked seriously, "Senpai, if you don't have classes in the afternoon tomorrow... I'm just assuming, but could you accompany me to J City?"
