Chapter 8

On the other end of the phone, a steady and robust voice said, "Xiao Zhao, how is it going? Is Xiao Ru's registration proceeding smoothly? This little girl, really, the registration could have been handled by someone at the school, but she insisted on doing it herself."

From the tone of his voice, it was clear that the old man was full of doting affection for his granddaughter, Li Mengru.

The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Li Bandao, the legendary Chinese special forces commander whose life had been saved by Chu Nan.

"It's going well, it's going well. But..." Uncle Zhao found it hard to say.

"But what?" Upon hearing this, Li Bandao paused, his tone changing slightly. Despite the distance, Uncle Zhao could clearly feel the old man's authoritative presence.

"Only... Miss said she wants to participate in the military training, meaning she won't be coming home. I just sent her to Xia Yuanchan's apartment, which is not far from Jinghua University." Uncle Zhao said cautiously.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone was taken aback.

"Old man, I have already tried to dissuade her... but you know Miss's personality, I... I have no choice..." Uncle Zhao thought the old man was upset and hurriedly explained.

But to his surprise, after a few seconds, Li Bandao laughed.

"Xiao Zhao, this isn't your fault. This little girl has been spoiled by this old man. — But it's fine, don't worry about it. Xia Yuanchan is quite well-mannered. I am very reassured that Xiao Ru is with her. From the looks of it, Xiao Ru will probably be staying with Xia Yuanchan. This is good. Over the next few years of university, Xiao Ru living with Xia Yuanchan will likely help her grow and mature."

From Li Bandao's words, it was clear that he quite liked the girl named Xia Yuanchan.

"Oh, oh, that's good." Uncle Zhao secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had worked for the Li family for half his life and knew the old man's temper well. This old man, when his temper flared, could break your arms and legs in a minute! He was terrifyingly tough!

"Oh, right, Xiao Zhao, I also want you to visit someone for me." Just as he was about to hang up, Li Bandao seemed to remember something.

"Sure, old man, what do you need?"

...

At the same time.

On the fifth floor of the No. 3 dormitory building for male students at Jinghua University.

Room 5015.

Chu Nan carefully placed his cloth bag in the cabinet and then secretly placed a few silver needles inside. If anyone suddenly opened the cabinet without permission, the silver needles would be triggered by the spring mechanism and quickly shoot out, hitting the person who opened the cabinet.

The silver needles were coated with a liquid, but it wasn't poison. It was a paralyzing agent that would cause the person to become paralyzed and unconscious within ten seconds.

Taking such precautions wasn't an overreaction. The cloth bag, though old, contained the three great treasures of the Chu family. If they fell into the wrong hands, the old man would likely dig up from the ground and fight him!

"Click." Chu Nan closed the cabinet, which only he could open, and then turned to tidy his bed.

Chu Nan and Liu Zheng were quite unapologetic. There were four beds in the dormitory, two on each side, and these two each took a lower bunk.

Just then, a guy carrying a large package and looking disheveled appeared at the dormitory door.

He was not very tall, almost like a chick compared to Liu Zheng. He wiped the dirty sweat from his forehead and then "thud," dropped the package on the ground.

"Water! I need water!! Gentlemen! Where is the water?!" This guy's sudden outburst startled Chu Nan and Liu Zheng, as if he had just been released from prison.

Chu Nan looked at the disheveled guy, blinked in surprise, and silently pointed to the bathroom behind him.

"Oh, damn, finally found water!!" Seeing the bathroom, he didn't hesitate to strip off his clothes, leaving only a bright blue pair of boxers, and darted into the bathroom. He turned on the faucet and plunged his head under the running water!

A few seconds later, he shook his head, making his long, flowing hair look very stylish, and groaned, "Ah!! So refreshing! Really refreshing!"

"..."

Chu Nan and Liu Zheng looked at this flamboyant guy, speechless.

It wasn't that he was bold, but rather that he was incredibly flirtatious, especially when he lifted his long, flowing hair, looking seductive and alluring.

Rushing water...

After a while, this guy, wearing his wet blue boxers, finally came out. He wiped the water from his face and gave Chu Nan and Liu Zheng a flirtatious look.

Yes, a flirtatious look!

"Gentlemen, my name is Jiao Chun. May I know your names?" After washing the mud off his face, Jiao Chun was actually quite handsome, but he was a bit too effeminate, or more simply put, he looked quite delicate.

Jiao Chun...

Chu Nan and Liu Zheng were speechless again.

They had seen many peculiar names, but this one was truly bizarre.

"My name is Liu Zheng."

"My name is Chu Nan."

"Pleased to meet you."

The three of them shook hands happily. Since they would be roommates, there was no need to be formal. After a few words, they became as close as old friends who hadn't seen each other for years. Young people easily found common topics.

"Hey, Chu Nan, how did you get such a name? I'm mocking you!" Jiao Chun, now dressed in clean clothes, teased Chu Nan.

Chu Nan was speechless... Damn, it hit a sore spot. In fact, his grandfather had really told Chu Nan that if he wanted to achieve the legacy of the Chu family and reach the pinnacle, he must remain a virgin. It seemed he had some kind of family-inherited condition. Because of this, Chu Nan had once gone two days without eating when he was twelve. This was also one of the main reasons why Chu Nan initially refused Li Bandao's arrangement for him to marry Li Mengru. Not only would it waste a beautiful woman, but it would also make others think he was impotent!

Liu Zheng chimed in, "Hey, Jiao Chun, now isn't the time to talk about Chu Nan's name. It's time to talk about yours. What were your elders thinking? Jiao Chun?... If you were surnamed Bo, wouldn't you be called Bo Qi?"
