Seeing that his初级治疗水 (初级 healing water) had such significant effects, Zhan Fei's face showed a hint of satisfaction. However, at that moment, he felt a coolness on his face. Then he saw that Liu Yuan had placed a chopstick on his forehead and said, "Third Brother, what kind of beautiful dream were you having? Why is your expression so lewd?"
Zhan Fei was taken aback for a moment before he replied, "You know what beautiful dream I was having, and you still disturbed me?"
Liu Yuan responded, "Stop daydreaming. It's noon, and I've brought the food. Let's eat!"
Liu Yuan was the leader of the dormitory, the oldest, and the most ambitious and idealistic among Zhan Fei and the others. He was also the best student in the dormitory. People like Zhan Fei, Guo Xin, and Zhou Tai could pass their exams at the end of each semester only because of Liu Yuan's help.
Therefore, Liu Yuan was like a fire in winter and a beacon in the dark night, illuminating their path forward. Without Liu Yuan, Zhan Fei and the others would have had to pay a lot more for retaking courses. Thus, in this four-person dormitory, Liu Yuan's position as the leader was unshakable, and everyone called him with genuine respect. When Zhan Fei heard Liu Yuan's words, he realized that he was indeed hungry, so he got up from the bed and said, "Thanks, Big Brother. Here's a tip."
Zhan Fei handed Liu Yuan a hundred-yuan note. Liu Yuan patted Zhan Fei's shoulder and took the money. Don't misunderstand; Zhan Fei didn't spend a hundred yuan on a meal. Liu Yuan brought food for Zhan Fei and the others every day, and they settled up every time it reached a hundred yuan. It had been four days since the last settlement, and it was time to pay again, so Zhan Fei gave Liu Yuan a hundred-yuan note.
Then, Zhan Fei and the three other guys in the dormitory started eating. As for the character panel in his mind, he would study it later. Most of the time, the people in the dormitory played their own games, and they only interacted during meals and sleep. It was the same today.
Contrary to the ancient saying "do not talk while eating or sleeping," Liu Yuan said, "The first class this afternoon is with Black Face. Make sure to get ready early!"
Black Face was a mentor for Zhan Fei and the others. His name was Black Face, and he was naturally very dark-skinned and strict. He took attendance in every class and had declared that anyone who missed his class twice would fail the final exam!
Zhan Fei and the others couldn't afford to provoke such a teacher, so whenever it was Black Face's class, the entire dormitory had to attend. Of course, they mostly just played on their phones or slept, and Black Face didn't care. This was his rule.
In his view, as long as they showed up, it was a show of respect. As for what they did, Black Face never interfered, as long as it didn't affect others. After all, if they didn't want to learn, they wouldn't learn, and even if Black Face could force them to look at the blackboard, he couldn't make them think about the course content.
Moreover, this wasn't middle school or high school. Black Face's strict attendance policy was already the strictest among Zhan Fei's teachers. Many teachers just came to lecture and left, regardless of whether there was one student or a hundred in the class.
Because they had to attend Black Face's class in the afternoon, Zhan Fei didn't have time to study the character that had possessed him. Instead, he went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, then got dressed. It was already past one o'clock, and the class started at two. Zhan Fei waited a bit for Zhou Tai and Guo Xin, then they went to class. As for Liu Yuan, he had already gone to the classroom to study.
When Zhan Fei and the others arrived, there were already more than ten people in the class. At the back of the classroom, a boy and a girl were sitting together. A look of envy and jealousy flashed across Zhan Fei and the others' eyes. The boy was Lu Feng, a guy from the dormitory next to theirs.
To be able to date in a campus where there were more wolves than sheep, Lu Feng must have had some exceptional skills, or perhaps exceptional resources. He was the vice-class president and also held a position in the student council, making him a well-known figure.
His family background was also excellent. His father ran a small business, and his mother was a professor at Bozhou University of Technology. Lu Feng himself was tall and handsome, making him one of the few non-single people in Zhan Fei's class.
When Zhan Fei and the others entered, it didn't cause much surprise. Their department had two classes, and for ordinary classes, only about twenty out of fifty students would show up. However, for Black Face's class, it was always full. Even if a few unfamiliar faces appeared, no one would be surprised, as they were probably substitutes.
At that moment, the prime seats at the back of the classroom were already taken, so Zhan Fei and Zhou Tai had no choice but to sit in the front. After Zhan Fei and the others sat down, other students from the department gradually arrived.
Some of the more studious students took the front seats, and the middle seats were gradually filled. The classroom, which usually had a 60% absentee rate, was almost full. Just before the class started, three girls arrived late, and many eyes in the class secretly followed them.
The leader of the three girls wore a black and red short-sleeved top, exposing her snow-white arms, and a pair of denim shorts, revealing her long, slender legs. She had a neat mid-length hairstyle, a delicate face, large eyes, and was holding a book on analytic geometry while sucking on a lollipop, looking like a character from a manga.
This girl was Han Ling, the department's beauty. Behind her were her two good friends, Wang Xuefei, who looked delicate and pitiable, and Xu Jiaorong, who was curvaceous but had a hint of plumpness. Wang Xuefei's beauty was on par with Han Ling's, but due to her introverted personality, she was slightly less popular in the class.
When the three girls saw the classroom filled with people, they looked surprised. Then, Xu Jiaorong seemed to remember something and whispered, "It's Black Face's class today. Those less common guys are here too."
Xu Jiaorong glanced at Zhan Fei and the others. With few seats left, the three girls looked around and, with no other choice, Xu Jiaorong and Wang Xuefei sat next to Lu Feng and his girlfriend, who were sitting in a row of four seats.
However, most people didn't want to be a third wheel, and more importantly, they didn't want to feel even more envious and jealous, so they didn't disturb them. Xu Jiaorong and Wang Xuefei only sat there because they had no other seats. As for Han Ling, she sat next to Zhan Fei.
Although there were other empty seats in the classroom, they were all in the middle, while Zhan Fei and the others were sitting against the wall, so the empty seats were on the outside. Seeing Han Ling sit next to him, Zhan Fei's heart rate changed slightly before returning to normal.
