Chu Yu opened his eyes. The sun was shining a bit brightly outside his window.

He didn't dream all night, and for some reason, he wasn't used to it.

Squinting his eyes, he blankly hugged the quilt for a while, then raised his hand and inexplicably punched the wall hard— Dammit, it hurts so fucking much!

Chu Yu uttered a 'hiss' as he gasped in pain while holding his red fingers.

Sigh, alas, sure enough, I didn't awaken any magical powers like copper skin and iron bones.

Pity.

After sleeping, his mood had mostly stabilized.

Chu Yu rolled twice on the bed, then cheerfully jumped out to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

When he looked in the mirror, he found a tuft of hair disorderly sticking out on top of his head. Chu Yu pressed down on the tuft of hair with his left hand and held his toothbrush in his right. Recalling something, he bit his toothbrush and grabbed two glasses of water to irrigate the pot of Strelitzia in the corner.

Before leaving his room, that tuft of hair had finally been successfully suppressed, saving an intact hairstyle, so Chu Yu was in a good mood as he prepared to attend class.

As he opened the door and walked out, the neighboring door also opened at the same time.

Chu Yu looked up— Lu Shi?

Chu Yu stood in place, blinked his round eyes, then expressionlessly turned around to open his dormitory door. He entered, closed the door, reopened the door, and walked out.

He looked again and Lu Shi was still standing there.

Chu Yu murmured, "Turns out he's not a hallucination..."

Lu Shi glanced over at the handful of wet hair on Chu Yu's head, and inexplicably recalled the feeling of his wet, soft hair during his meeting with Chu Yu the night before.

He replied, "Hm, I'm not."

Perhaps because he'd just woken up, Lu Shi's voice was slightly hoarse and his countenance showed a bit of unconcealed frostiness.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked downstairs.

Chu Yu followed him down. He was surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be abnormal if Lu Shi wasn't his neighbor.

Jianing Private's luxurious, single-person dormitories had top-notch lodging conditions within its multistoried building. There weren't many rooms available and it had always been impossible to live in one just based on money.

For example, He Zhihao had wanted to be Chu Yu's neighbor and live next door. He cried and begged during the first year of high school, but he still wasn't allowed in.

In Chu Yu's case, after his mother had bought the school, her assistant had taken care of everything and specially chose the dormitory farthest from the stairs on this floor for him.

He was very satisfied. It was quiet because people wouldn't pass by the door often so it was convenient to sleep in.

After living here for more than a year, Chu Yu knew that on this floor, each and every room counting from the back of the stairs were occupied by the top three ranking talents of each grade. As for Lu Shi – the first in his grade – now that he was attending the main school, he'd naturally also reside on this floor.

He reckoned that he was the only underachiever on this floor.

Following Lu Shi, Chu Yu hesitated if he should go up and talk to him.
