Chapter 14:Dormitory Turmoil and Huo Yuhao's Touching Moment.
"Here, take this." In the bathroom, Ji Wuchang initiated his first conversation with Huo Yuhao.
"Huh? No, no, no. I'll just scrub a little longer." Huo Yuhao was clearly taken aback, obviously puzzled by the appearance of this child who looked only about ten years old, but he instinctively refused the offer.
"Take it, class monitor. It's just a bottle of shower gel, nothing to me." Ji Wuchang shook his head, placed the shower gel directly in front of Huo Yuhao, and quickly dried himself before leaving. "
Class monitor? Is he also a classmate? Why don't I remember him?" Huo Yuhao was surprised again. However, Ji Wuchang had already left, so even if he wanted to ask, he could only do so later.
Quite touched, he squeezed out a little shower gel; his frugal nature prevented him from wasting it.
Even so, by the time he had thoroughly washed himself, the bottle of shower gel was already nearly half empty.
Meanwhile, Ji Wuchang had installed the bed he'd taken from his own room in room 108, and thoughtfully prepared a blanket for Huo Yuhao as well.
Wang Dong witnessed this, quietly approaching Ji Wuchang from behind and poking his cheek with his finger:
"I say, are you gay? Why are you so concerned about that kid Huo Yuhao?"
Ji Wuchang's face instantly darkened.
Damn it, if it weren't for your special status, you would have already…
"Whether I'm gay or not is none of your business. In a few days, the name 'Playboy Ji Wuchang' will resound throughout Shrek Academy!" Ji Wuchang declared proudly.
"Oh ho, you actually have such a grand goal?" Wang Dong laughed heartily. He comfortably jumped onto his own bed, rubbing against it like a kitten.
He hadn't slept all night, and now that the "dirty stuff" was finally gone, he made a decision!
He would skip class!
However, this thought was immediately dismissed by the image of Zhou Yi's tense face in his mind. But it's not even five o'clock yet, there's still time to sleep...
Ji Wuchang looked speechlessly at Wang Dong, who seemed to be asleep, his face full of black lines.
Damn it, aren't you a germaphobe? You just went to sleep like that? I'm still here, a living person! Seriously... inhuman!
"Wang Dong, did you see a little boy who looked about ten years old just now?" Suddenly, the door to room 108 was pushed open, and Huo Yuhao appeared in Ji Wuchang's line of sight.
He was carrying a bucket of water and a rag, seemingly intending to clean the room.
However, Huo Yuhao didn't smell any unpleasant odor when he pushed open the door. This surprised him greatly. Could it be that lazy pig Wang Dong cleaned for him?
No, no, no, absolutely not!
Although they hadn't known each other for very long, given Wang Dong's rich young master personality and his habit of never lifting a finger, how could he possibly clean voluntarily?
Entering the room, the first thing that caught his eye was Wang Dong's sleeping posture, as still as a dead pig. Getting closer, a short man with a dark expression was standing by his bed.
"Eh? It's you, little brother. This is your shower gel, sorry for using so much." Huo Yuhao was quite surprised to see Ji Wuchang.
However, he quickly recovered and didn't dwell on why Ji Wuchang was in his room. Instead, he apologetically handed the shower gel back to Ji Wuchang.
Ji Wuchang didn't reach out to take it. The shower gel was only worth a few copper soul coins, nothing to him.
Besides, once something was given away, it was like spilled water; how could he ask for it back?
"It's alright, you can use it."
Ji Wuchang shook his head, indicating that he wouldn't take it back.
"This..." Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, but was mostly moved.
Indeed, there are still more good people in this world!
"Let me introduce myself. I'm a newly admitted student in Class One, my name is Ji Wuchang. I live in room 110, which is two rooms away from yours." Ji Wuchang stared at Huo Yuhao.
"Is that so? No wonder I didn't think I'd seen you before." Huo Yuhao grinned sheepishly and scratched his head.
Ji Wuchang covered his face in exasperation.
The current Huo Yuhao was vastly different from the Huo Yuhao he remembered—the one who reigned supreme, the one who created his own palm strike, fist strike, and sword strike for his wife.
Damn it, he couldn't change his impression of the protagonist. What to do? He was in a panic.
"In short, we'll be classmates from now on, let's look after each other." With that, Ji Wuchang extended his hand.
Huo Yuhao understood and extended his hand, shaking hands with Ji Wuchang:
"Please take care of me!"
"Eh? You two men are holding hands so intimately, it can't be..."
The sudden voice made Ji Wuchang and Huo Yuhao's faces darken simultaneously.
"Weren't you asleep?" Ji Wuchang stared at Wang Dong, his lips twitching wildly.
He had just been wondering how Wang Dong could be so careless, falling asleep right in front of him. Was this guy really acting?
"Tch~ Don't you even look at the time? If I keep sleeping, and I skip class and get caught by Old Lady Zhou, I'll be in big trouble!" Wang Dong gave him a look of utter disbelief.
"Speaking of which, Wang Dong. Did you clean up the mess on the bed?" Seeing Wang Dong sit up, although what he said made him want to punch him, he chose to pretend he didn't hear it.
"Oh, that? Little brother Ji Wuchang cleaned it for you. Yeah, he just took apart your bed and put a new one in." Wang Dong yawned and said lazily.
"You're the little brother! Your whole family are little brothers!" Ji Wuchang was instantly annoyed. How could Wang Dong's mouth be so sharp? He didn't see that in the novel. Appearances can be deceiving. In this life, Ji Wuchang's biggest annoyance was his inexplicable height and his face that always looked several years younger than his peers.
Although he looked quite cute, he was a playboy, not a cute little boy!
"Ji Wuchang, don't mind him, don't mind him. Wang Dong didn't mean it." Huo Yuhao immediately ran over to smooth things over.
Turning to Wang Dong, he whispered,
"Don't speak without thinking. He seems very concerned about his height."
Wang Dong also realized that he might have gone a bit too far, but his pride wouldn't allow him to apologize so easily.
"Hmph!" Wang Dong snorted defiantly and stormed out of the dormitory.
It was already slightly bright, and class was approaching. He planned to go straight to the cafeteria for lunch and then head to the classroom.
"I'm sorry, Ji Wuchang, Wang Dong is probably spoiled at home, so his personality isn't the best. But he's actually not a bad person," Huo Yuhao apologized to Ji Wuchang.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm not that petty,"
Ji Wuchang waved his hand and turned to leave the dormitory. "You go to the cafeteria with Wang Dong first. I'll go back to my dorm to wash up and then come find you."
"Okay!" Huo Yuhao readily agreed.
Looking at the bed with its newly made bedding, a warm feeling welled up inside him. He felt he had been incredibly lucky lately.
First, he went into the Star Dou Great Forest alone to obtain his first spirit ring. Then, he unexpectedly encountered the million-year-old spirit beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Then he ran into Senior Brother Bei Bei and Teacher Xiao Ya, who took him in at Shrek Academy and even gave him the priceless Xuan Shui Pill.
Back in the dorm, he met his incredibly arrogant roommate, Wang Dong, whose sharp tongue was infuriating but whose heart wasn't bad.
They even had a fight when they first met!
Not long after, he met a kind transfer student. Although his height and appearance were somewhat disappointing, it didn't matter much.
Ji Wuchang's actions, though small, left a very good impression on Huo Yuhao.
Fortunately, he never questioned why Ji Wuchang was so kind to him.
"Holy crap, Yuhao. That kid named Ji Wuchang is something else." A voice suddenly echoed in his mind, startling Ji Wuchang.
"Brother Tianmeng! You woke up so quickly?"
Although initially startled, the voice belonged to someone he knew well, so he wasn't too panicked.
"Hmm. That kid is extraordinary. Not only is his physical fitness excellent, but his mental strength is also remarkable. He's much stronger than you are now." The man Huo Yuhao called Brother Tianmeng praised.
"Ah? Then isn't he more suitable as your target? If you choose him, I won't mind." Huo Yuhao's tone was somewhat dejected and even a little self-conscious.
"Don't say such discouraging things. Since I've chosen you, I will do my best to help you. Besides, my power has already merged into your body and can no longer be separated." Brother Tianmeng admonished. "
Brother Tianmeng~" Huo Yuhao was moved to tears.
"Little Yuhao, don't underestimate yourself. Your recent cultivation has been going very smoothly, and your physical fitness has improved a lot. Of the ten seals I left in your body, the first one has already been partially opened." Brother Tianmeng said to Huo Yuhao.
"Really? That's great! I will definitely work harder!" Huo Yuhao was overjoyed.
"Yes, I believe you. Also, if possible, try to maintain a friendly relationship with that kid. I have a feeling he's an indispensable partner for you in the future!" Tianmeng Bingcan said.
"I know!" Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously. At this moment, he was so flattered by the praise that he didn't care about anything else.
"Then I'll continue to sleep. Remember, never reveal anything about me to outsiders!" Tianmeng Bingcan said seriously.
"Okay, Brother Tianmeng!"
...
"Damn, I'm so useless!" Back in his dormitory, Ji Wuchang collapsed onto his bed as if a huge burden had been lifted.
Even though he had been in this world for almost thirteen years, he had been preparing ever since he learned that this world was the Douluo World when he was six years old. He was
preparing to meet the protagonist!
Now, seeing someone he couldn't even touch in his previous life, the tension was impossible to hide!
Not to mention anything else, just facing Wang Dong made his heart clench.
