Returning to the dorm with my computer, I discovered a new roommate had arrived. He was quite the character, wearing big shorts, a tank top, and dragging flip-flops. Feng Zhongliang was chatting with him.
"Zelin, you're back."
Upon seeing Su Zelin, Old Feng naturally came over to greet him. They were the first to arrive at the dorm, and after spending a night together and sharing a meal, they were quite familiar with each other.
Old Feng quickly noticed the box in Su Zelin's hands and exclaimed, "Oh, you bought a computer?"
New students buying computers right after starting university isn't unheard of, but it's quite rare.
This is because parents often find it hard to change their perception; they generally think computers are distractions, and they were strictly prohibited during high school.
It's often not until a few months into university, or perhaps even the second year, that they realize their children really need a computer for various tasks, even for their graduation projects.
"Yeah, the sooner you buy it, the sooner you enjoy it!"
Su Zelin nodded.
Old Feng thought to himself, I know the sooner I buy it, the sooner I enjoy it, but my parents won't agree!
He really envied how understanding Zelin's family was.
"So you're the famous fortune-teller, Su Zelin!"
The spirited young man approached, full of curiosity: "Can you tell what my last name is?"
Seeing that face, Su Zelin couldn't help but smile.
This energetic guy was the same person who, in their past life, learned the art of charming conversation from him and wreaked havoc online, meeting dozens over their four years of university, even playing games so relentlessly that his F key got worn out.
He was technically his apprentice, deeply admiring him in their previous life.
In the end, this person became quite the Casanova in society, fancied himself as charming, yet the only one he respected in romantic affairs was Zelin.
Su Zelin might have fewer women, but each one was top-notch, each quality rivaling a hundred. This was because his standards were so high, he politely declined many who threw themselves at him, whereas this spirited guy thought he could win by numbers and had to take the initiative himself.
Pretending to be mysterious, he looked him over a few times before speaking: "Your last name is Zeng!"
The spirited young man gasped in surprise.
When Old Feng praised Su Zelin as a master of fortune-telling, he was skeptical. But now, having experienced it himself, he had to admit this roommate really had some skills.
After pausing, Su Zelin continued, "You're from Guangdong Province, right!"
"Awesome!"
The spirited young man was instantly impressed.
Though his Mandarin was notably imperfect, not all with imperfect Mandarin hailed from Guangdong Province as Guangxi was similar.
He didn't expect to meet such a skilled person right at university!
"See, I told you Zelin's amazing, right?"
Feng Zhongliang chuckled.
"Brother, you're destined for wealth and fortune. Even if you do nothing, you'll live in luxury this lifetime!"
Su Zelin gave him another "fortune-telling."
"Really?"
The spirited young man became instantly excited.
This was someone who even got his surname and origin spot on!
"Yes, but it'll be after graduation, give it a few years before your wealthy fate appears!"
Su Zelin spoke with confidence.
Because this guy's family was one of the second-generation landowners; they were from the renowned Hed Village!
When Hed underwent reconstruction, his family was allotted dozens of apartments, leading him to resign from his job on the day he heard the news, living an easy life ever since.
"Then I thank you for your kind words!"
The spirited young man extended his hand: "Zeng Kaiping, I'm in your hands, wise one!"
"I'm no sage, just casually guessed, not necessarily accurate."
Su Zelin replied nonchalantly.
"Meeting is fate. How about I treat everyone to dinner tonight?"
Zeng Kaiping was also a straightforward person.
In fact, everyone in the dorm was quite nice. Back then, Su Zelin's university life was enjoyable. His decision to attend the finance university again was partly for these former brothers.
Su Zelin's lips curled into a smile, recalling the glory days spent with these guys in their past life.
Yes, three more to go, and the former 'Six Rogues of Room 302' would be together again.
...
Another day passed, and it was registration time. Having arrived early, Su Zelin, Zeng Kaiping, and Feng Zhongliang had completed the process early in the morning and officially became freshmen at the Academy of Finance.
The other roommates arrived one after another, in the afternoon and evening. They were Hou Yongjin from Jiujiang County, Hu Xu from Mountain City in Ba Yu, and Cai Wensheng from Min Nan.
Old Feng was the eldest among them, taking the position of Lao Da. He was diligent, hardworking, and uncomplaining.
Lao Er was Hou Yongjin, who wore black-framed glasses and was always holding a book on 'Thick Black Theory', giving the impression of being wise and mature. He didn't talk much but often chimed in with a clever remark or two.
Su Zelin took the third spot, known as the 'rascal' without needing much elaboration.
Lao Si Zeng Kaiping was a lively and straightforward spirited youth.
Lao Wu Hu Xu had a pointed face, always calculating, ever eager to make a penny stretch. But Su Zelin knew he wasn't stingy. If he considered you a brother, Hu Xu would offer the money he scrimped and saved without hesitation when you were in trouble.
The youngest, Cai Wensheng, had just turned seventeen not too long ago. He reportedly started school early and didn't attend kindergarten.
He was the typical pretty boy type—red lips, white teeth, even a bit of a powdery look—and considered quite handsome among boys, although slightly lesser than Su Zelin. The difference in their aura was stark as well.
Su Zelin was also handsome but definitely not feminine. Additionally, Cai Wensheng was shy; when he first arrived at the dorm, he would blush after exchanging a few words with the others. Of course, he improved once he got familiar.
