The laptop booted up quickly. Xia Yan didn’t log in to QQ as he had made no friends during his senior high school days. Contrarily, there were many people he disliked. Since he only had a few QQ friends, there was no need to log in.
Xia Yan browsed the news for a while, then registered an account number at Sihe University’s forum before logging in. He skimmed over the threads in high spirits as the forum was the most crucial channel to understand the university. His senior high school didn’t have such a high-end forum. It only had a BBS board full of threads about dueling, flirting, or flexing. They had no essence at all.
Xia Yan first gave the recommended threads, ’50 Must-Do Things for Freshers,’ ‘Club Reviews,’ and so on a look over and felt they were beneficial.
He continued down and found an interesting thread, ‘Sihe University’s Campus Queen Rankings!’ Xia Yan’s eyes shone, and when he was about to click it, he suddenly saw another thread below it that made him stop. He moved the cursor away from the campus queen thread and clicked this thread.
‘An Account of Sihe University’s Supernatural Events!’
Xia Yan had heard that they built all universities on graveyards, and several ghost stories got handed down in each of them. The washroom and the library were often hotspots for supernatural events, and university culture was inclusive of the supernatural.
The thread was long and listed dozens of supernatural tales. Xia Yan read it with significant interest and clicked his tongue in exclamation from time to time.
“Can you stop acting so wretched? You make this kind of voice while looking at AVs?” Zhao Qiang scoffed as he came out of the bathroom while drying his hair. He was bare-chested and wore sports shorts below.
“Zhao Qian, do you know C402’s legend?” Xia Yan raised his head while giving a wicked smile.
“What legend?” Zhao Qian asked.
“Our dorm room… had a death a few years ago. It happened right where you’re standing. That person hung himself on top of the door frame using shoelace!” Xia Yan lowered his voice and spoke eerily.
Zhao Qiang felt dazed. He lifted his hand to touch the two meters tall door frame and commented thoughtfully, “His height must have been less than 165 cm to die by hanging himself here. A person of this height surely didn’t have a girlfriend. It wasn’t unjust for him to commit suicide if that were the case. The quality of his shoelace must have been top-notch too. He was also good at tying knots… Huh? Hey there, fellow, are you also living here? Come in quickly!”
Xia Yan felt his spirits dampen after seeing that this guy wasn’t afraid of ghost stories. When he heard him call out to a student, he turned his head back to look and saw a refined short guy wearing spectacles standing there with a startled expression on his face. It looked like he was hesitating about entering inside.
“Can I apply for a dorm room change?” The guy said sullenly.
This guy who had gotten frightened by the ghost story was Qin Jian and was from Shuangqing. Since exchanging dorm rooms was hopeless, the trio introduced themselves and quickly became familiarised with each other.
“Right! What are your mobile numbers? Let’s save them. Mine is…,” Zhao Qiang proposed after the trio chatted for a while.
The trio saved each other’s numbers. When the other two saw Xia Yan take out a ¥200 Nokia phone, they had guessed his family’s financial circumstances weren’t good.
Zhao Qiang and Qin Jian made a few harmless jokes naturally. They didn’t show any intention of mocking or looking down on him.
Xia Yan felt moved. The financial conditions of his two new roommates were decent, yet they hadn’t jeered at him like the previous students and only joked out of goodwill. The difference between people was this huge.
“I’ll get a better phone some other time, and when the time comes, you guys have to teach me how to pick up a girl!” Xia Yan hugged their shoulders and chuckled.
The trio chatted idly in the dorm room, and noon had arrived quickly. The fourth roommate hadn’t appeared today. It was reasonable as the registration period lasted two days, so they didn’t care about it much.
When it was finally time for lunch, Zhao Qiang invited them to eat together. They went out from the south gate and got an eyeful of small restaurants. The trio found a kebab store that appeared to do well and ordered a few bottles of beer. They drank while eating the kebab skewers.
“For our university life! Cheers!” Zhao Qian toasted. Xia Yan raised his neck and downed all the beer in the glass. The cold beer going down the belly felt incomparably refreshing.
Qin Jian had just drunk a glass of beer, yet his face had flushed up. He also became talkative and began commenting on the girls from the adjacent table. As they say – Alcohol emboldens a timid man.
After chugging a few glasses, Zhao Qiang pointed at the skull resting on Xia Yan’s chest and asked, “What is this thing? Don’t tell me that you’ve watched too many gangster movies.”
“Yeah! You could have gone with anything, but you just had to wear a skull. I thought you were a punk when I first saw you.” Qin Jian also added on.
This stunned Xia Yan. He had roughly guessed the reason he got so many derisive sights today. He showed a wry smile then said, “If I told you I’m a mage, and that this is a magic artifact to capture ghosts, would you believe it?”
“No way!”
Xia Yan grabbed a beef skewer and placed it inside the red boiling pot. Nothing felt more satisfying than having skewers with beer. At this moment, a keyword from the adjacent table where a few girls sat caught his attention. He turned his head to look over there.
“Ouija divination? Let’s not do that, okay? It’s quite terrifying!” The one who said this was a cute, baby-faced girl. She had a startled look on her face.
“What are you afraid of? I did it when I was in high school, and nothing happened. Many others did it too, and they are all fine. Don’t worry, Xiaoyu!” A black-haired girl with a pointy chin replied to her. She took a piece of beef from the skewer and rolled it in the saucer containing red chili powder. The woman had attractive looks yet seemed manly.
“Sister Anna, did you really invite a spirit?” Another girl asked curiously.
“Yeah. You wouldn’t know. It looked magical. When you asked a question, the saucer would move by itself and stop above the answer…”
“It’s all fake, right? You must have used your finger to move the saucer!” Another short-haired girl donning camisole outerwear exclaimed in disbelief.
“The fingers of five distinct people wouldn’t move to the same answer, right? Also, I tested it alone later, and the saucer moved by itself. It was exciting!”
“What question did you ask?”
“Is there a point in asking? It was definitely a silly question, something like who will be her future husband!”
“I also want to ask that…” Xiaoyu stated shyly, completely ignoring its evaluation as a ‘silly question.’
“Looks like Xiaoyu’s at that age now too!”
The short-haired girl raised Xiaoyu’s chin and smiled mischievously, “You’ll receive punishment if you put a green hat on my head!”
“An Xiaoru, you damn lesbian! My Xiaoyu is off-limits!” Anna chuckled.
“Anna, Xiaoyu is already mine. Why don’t you join in too? I want to create a huge harem!” An Xiaoru got up while giving a wicked smile and squeezed Anna’s perky butt, making her cry out cutely.
The episode ended in such a beautiful manner.
“Oi oi, you two! First, wipe your drool, Qin Jian! And, Zhao Qiang, your nose is bleeding!” Xia Yan waved his hand before their eyes and brought them back to their senses.
“Beauties!” Zhao Qiang raised his head and rolled in a piece of tissue while praising them, “Eight points for the short-haired girl and the black-haired girl. As for Xiaoyu, I don’t like her type, so seven points for her. I won’t grade the last one since she has a common face!”
“Zhao Qiang, your standards are too low. In my point system, these four girls only get five points and no higher than that!” Qin Jian stated.
“Would you go for them then?” Zhao Qiang taunted him.
“I would!” Qin Jian was direct, “My highest score is five points!”
“Yeah, right!”
Xia Yan bantered with his two roommates, but he was tuning in to the voices of the adjacent table. He stopped paying attention to them after he heard the dorm room number, ‘H504.’
[Ouija divination? That’s not something you can joke around with.]
[That short-haired girl, An Xiaoru has traces of Undead elements on her body. If she performs a Ouija divination in such a state, it will take things to another level and lead to an incident.]
