Chapter 3

He Dong ran with increasing excitement, and the passion that had been hidden for many years burst forth. Even when he saw the congested traffic on the road, his eyes turned red, for in He Dong's eyes, these vehicles stuck in traffic were nothing but props set up specifically for parkour. Thus, He Dong forgot himself as he weaved through the traffic.

It wasn't until he entered the school that He Dong gradually slowed his pace. He panted heavily, feeling as if his legs were filled with lead due to the intense exercise. However, the physical fatigue could not mask his mental excitement.

"Hehe, from today on, I'm also an athletic champion!" Due to the fatigue, He Dong wobbled as he walked towards the dormitory, but his face wore a lecherous and smug smile.

"Ouch!" However, He Dong soon learned what it meant to be overjoyed and then suffer a setback. Just as he was about to reach the dormitory, a dark shadow suddenly collided with him. Then, a girl's scream and the sound of something breaking rang out.

"Sorry!" Although the other party had collided with him first, when He Dong saw that it was a girl, and a very beautiful one at that, he did not make a fuss and apologized first.

"My Chun Jian Shen Yi!" The girl was not too concerned about falling, but she was anxious about the pot of flowers that had fallen to the ground.

"This...!" The girl was so focused on cleaning up the flowers that He Dong didn't know what to say. He couldn't just leave, so he stood there watching.

"Fortunately! Fortunately, only the pot is broken!" After a while, the girl let out a long sigh of relief and slowly held the flower in her hands.

"Miss, this... doesn't seem to be Chun Jian Shen Yi, right?" He Dong felt a bit neglected, so he suddenly spoke up.

"Do you know about orchids?" At this point, the girl finally looked up at He Dong.

"Ah!" When the girl looked up, He Dong felt a sudden brightness, thinking, "How beautiful, especially those eyes, clear like the spirits of nature."

"Do you know about orchids?" The girl frowned slightly at He Dong's dazed expression, intending to leave, but she couldn't help asking again, thinking of what He Dong had said.

"Of course! Chun Jian is often referred to as the authentic Sichuan orchid, and it is generally divided into two categories: Cai Xin and Su Xin. Cai Xin includes Qing Hua Chun Jian, Hong Hua Chun Jian, and Zhu Sha Chun Jian...! Su Xin includes Ya Huang Chun Jian Su, Yu Ban Chun Jian Su, and Bai Hua Chun Jian Su...!" He Dong suddenly realized that it was impolite to stare at a stranger, so he blurted out these words in a fluster.

As he spoke, He Dong was surprised by his own words, as they came out without much thought, but he was certain he wasn't making things up.

He thought to himself, he had already experienced the jumping ability of the Jumping Rabbit, and could these words be the talent of the Jumping Rabbit to identify various plants?

He Dong was surprised, and the girl was even more so. She was stunned by He Dong's eloquence and extensive knowledge, her eyes sparkling with admiration, even forgetting his earlier impolite behavior.

"Can you tell me what this Chun Jian is if it's not Shen Yi?" The girl, impressed by He Dong's eloquence and knowledge, asked humbly.

"This should be a type of Chun Jian, but it's called Chuang Chuang Hong. Shen Yi has red compound petals, while the one in your hand has red compound narcissus petals. Shen Yi has large, fragrant, and beautiful flowers. Chuang Chuang Hong, on the other hand, has many flowers, usually five to eight, hence the name Chuang Chuang Hong...!" He Dong grew more confident as he spoke, ending with a commanding tone.

"You're amazing, are you a botany major?" The girl asked in admiration.

"No, I'm a veterinary major, but I'm very interested in various plants!" He Dong enjoyed the feeling of being admired.

"Veterinary major?" The girl found it hard to believe. Based on He Dong's explanation, he was at least a semi-expert, yet he was a veterinary major.

"Ha ha, let's formally introduce ourselves. I'm He Dong, a veterinary major, and I'm a sophomore this year!" He Dong introduced himself with a smile.

"My name is Lin Xuan, also a sophomore, and I'm a botany major!" The girl introduced herself openly.

"Lin Xuan? This name seems familiar?" He Dong muttered to himself.

Since it was their first meeting, they didn't say much more. After a brief chat, they parted ways, leaving each other their phone numbers.

Although meeting a beautiful girl was exciting, the physical fatigue did not disappear because of it. When He Dong finally climbed up to the sixth floor and pushed open the dormitory door, he was about to relax and lie down on the bed when suddenly his arms were twisted behind his back and he was pressed against the table.

"Confess, confess!" A fierce voice rang out.

"Confess? What should I confess?" He Dong was confused.

"Say, was it you? Was it you?" Another fierce voice came from the other side.

"Damn, are you two on the wrong medication? What do you mean, 'was it me?' And can you let me go first? You're making me feel like a criminal." He Dong looked at the two roommates who were pressing him down, feeling depressed.

"Third, we didn't expect you to be so secretive!" The two fierce voices let go of He Dong, and another person walked over, giving him a thumbs up.

"What's going on? What's wrong today? Second is a sports major, simple-minded and strong, naturally a bit silly. Fourth is smart only when facing a computer, otherwise, his brain doesn't work well. But what about you, First?" He Dong looked at the three people in front of him, shaking his head.

He Dong lived in a six-person dormitory. At the moment, there were only three people in the dormitory: Wang Qiang, the oldest, studying business management, and a local from Tianyang City, rumored to be very wealthy. Guo Jiadong, the second, from Dongshan Province, with a strong build, was a sports enthusiast and a member of the school basketball team. He Dong was the third, and the fourth was a chubby guy named Pang Zhe, whose name was often mispronounced as "Fatso," a computer expert from the south. The fifth, Yan Yan, was from Northeast China, a music enthusiast who had formed a band with like-minded people, spending most of his time on the band except for classes. The sixth, Hua Shao, known as "Flower Boy," was from the capital, claiming to be a Casanova, but He Dong knew that Hua Shao was just talk and was actually quite clean.

"Come and take a look at this!" He Dong's words made Wang Qiang and the others grit their teeth. Guo Jiadong pulled He Dong to Pang Zhe's computer and opened a video for him to watch.
