Senior Sister, Shut Up!

Chapter 25: Dorm Room Girls Talk

What defined a dorm room? It depended on the people living in it.

It was just like eating hotpot. The experience depended on the soup base, ingredients, and dipping sauces.

Jiang Miao’s college dorm room was a little special.

The mysterious fourth roommate only appeared during military training and was nowhere to be seen at mealtimes.

He didn’t return to the room until 10:30 p.m., and as soon as he returned, he played games until one or two in the morning before finally going to bed.

He never spoke a word the entire time, leaving everyone wondering how he managed to stay quiet.

In addition to Chen Haoshang, the other three roommates each had their own characteristics.

There was no need to mention Wang Xin. Upon returning to the room after military training, the first thing he did was clean up and then perform some rituals to prepare for the first-year classes. His only form of entertainment was reading.

However, he didn’t read web novels, only the various miscellaneous books he had bought. Moreover, he liked to take notes and was often so absorbed that he couldn’t pull himself away.

Xun Liang couldn’t sit still like these two. He alternated between playing games and reading novels, and every half hour, he had to get up to wander around the room, looking here and there.

Jiang Miao had to hide in his bed every time he wanted to write, not daring to type below.

Otherwise, he would definitely be discovered by this guy.

But Xun Liang’s range of activity wasn’t limited to just their room.

Carrying snacks, drinks, and beer, he frequently visited other dorm rooms.

Seeing him become buddies with more than ten neighboring rooms, Jiang Miao often thought about taking out his phone to record this so that his parents could witness it the next time they came to the school.

“Brother Jiang, are you watching movies in bed again?” Xun Liang teased when he saw Jiang Miao leaning against the headboard and typing away on his keyboard.

“Yes, they’re all your recommendations,” Jiang Miao replied without changing his expression. “It’s just that a few of them are pretty hardcore. I didn’t expect you to like guy-on-guy stuff.”

“Pfft—don’t slander me!” Xun Liang was anxious and wanted to climb onto his bed.

Jiang Miao quickly used his foot to push him away and shouted, “If you come up again, it proves you really have that tendency!”

While the two of them were messing around, the other two roommates remained immersed in their own worlds—one gaming and the other reading, both seemingly being in different worlds.

It wasn’t until Xun Liang was pacified and settled back into his chair to continue browsing on his phone that Wang Xin, who had been reading, tidied up his desk, turned to Jiang Miao, and asked, “The association recruitment event is tomorrow night. Do you want to go check out the debate team together?”

“Sure.” Jiang Miao nodded while writing. “I’ll find you tomorrow afternoon, and we can have dinner together.”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Xin looked at Xun Liang. “You said you wanted to join the debate team with us?”

“I was just joking.” Xun Liang rolled his eyes. “I’ve already made plans with my wife to join the sports association.”

Jiang Miao: “…”

F*ck, I really want to tear this guy’s mouth apart.

Here he was writing a romance novel, but he still had to eat the dog food produced by Xun Liang.

It was beyond irritating.

“Chen Haoshang, what about you?” Wang Xin looked at their roommate, who had been playing games all this time.

Perhaps it was because Wang Xin often helped him clean up, but Chen Haoshang actually replied. “Not going.”

Xun Liang looked as if he had just heard a ghost story, staring at Chen Haoshang in shock. Then he looked at Wang Xin, wondering what kind of shady business these two had.

Jiang Miao had previously invited Chen Haoshang into the class group chat, so they must have talked at some point.

So, was he the only one being ignored?

Jiang Miao could clearly tell what Xun Liang was thinking and couldn’t help teasing, “You already have a wife, so don’t think about other men, okay?”

“Get lost!”

…

[Congee Boss]: (Picture)

[Congee Boss]: This is the female lead’s design. Remember to update the character profile.

As Jiang Miao was about to turn off his laptop for the night, he received a message from Congee Boss.

The image sent had a girl wearing a white halter top that exposed her navel. Her round shoulders and smooth and flat stomach were fair and alluring.

She wore black dolphin shorts that accentuated her long, fair, and slender legs, immediately drawing attention.

His gaze drifted back to the female lead’s upper body, where her shoulder-length black hair cascaded down. Her face was tinged with a shy blush, one hand was tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, and her eyes were lowered, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn’t quite bring herself to.

[Peach Jam]: Boss, you’re a god!

[Peach Jam]: Ahem… Um, is there a special version by any chance?

[Congee Boss]: I knew you’d ask for that.

[Congee Boss]: There isn’t!

[Peach Jam]: No, Boss! That’s not what you said before!

[Congee Boss]: (Picture)

[Congee Boss]: I’m going to bed. Don’t disturb me.

Looking at the screen, Jiang Miao’s eyes lit up.

It was a sacred light!

[Peach Jam]: Boss, you’re the best!

…

Xiuye Commons, Building 30, Room 611, midnight—Su Huaizhou was lying on her side on her bed. The fluorescent glow of her phone screen shone on her exquisite face, and the blush on her face was just like the one on the female lead in the picture she had drawn.

Previously, she had thought Peach Jam was a girl, so it wasn’t a big deal.

But now, knowing that the person on the other end was the sunny and handsome Junior Brother Jiang Miao, she felt her face heat up and disdain for herself for not being able to hold back from sending the second picture!

She had sworn she wouldn’t draw it!

But she had ended up drawing it anyway.

And after finishing it, she had decided not to send it to Peach Jam!

But the moment Peach Jam acted cute, she couldn’t control her hands.

It’s all Junior Brother’s fault for being too adorable online!

It’s not my fault.

Still, there was no way she should let Junior Brother find out she was Congee Boss.

Otherwise, she would absolutely die on the spot.

“Yueyue, is this the special situation you mentioned?”

In the bed next to Su Huaizhou, Shen Yu, whose long hair was lying loose over her shoulders, was sitting cross-legged with her pajamas carelessly wide open. She held a bag of chips in her hand and tilted her head at the bed curtain that was shaking from time to time.

“Pretty much, though it was more exaggerated before.” Qi Lianyue sighed. “Probably because she got a boyfriend, so it’s eased a bit.”

“Wow~ Big news!” Shen Yu’s eyes lit up as she clapped her hands excitedly. “Is it that junior brother from before?! Zhouzhou’s tone is different from when she talks to him!”

“Yeah, his name is Jiang Miao. He’s quite handsome.”

“Hahahahaha! Zhouzhou actually wants to be an old cow eating young grass!”

“Shut up!” Su Huaizhou’s face turned bright red as she sat up and said in annoyance at Shen Yu, “Watch it, or I’ll never be your wingman again!”

“Don’t be mad~” Shen Yu climbed up the ladder and slipped into Su Huaizhou’s bed. She dove onto her, hugged Su Huaizhou under her, and rubbed her face against her chest. “Zhouzhou, you’re the best~ I love you~”

“Get off me. It’s too hot!”

“Hehe, I’ll get off, but you have to tell me honestly. How far have you progressed with Junior Brother?” Shen Yu didn’t intend to let her go. Her face was full of mischievous curiosity as her hands roamed playfully. “Here? Or here? Or maybe here?”

“None of that!” Su Huaizhou blushed and pushed her away. “Junior Brother and I are totally innocent! There’s no special relationship at all! Don’t get the wrong idea.”

“Yueyue, do you believe that?”

“I don’t believe it.”

“I don’t either.”

“Believe what you want!” Su Huaizhou chased Shen Yu back to her own bed and pulled the bed curtain shut angrily.

“Feeling guilty, are we~” Shen Yu giggled while shaking her head.

“Is Junior Brother coming to sign up for the debate team tomorrow?” Qi Lianyue suddenly remembered. “Zhouzhou, do you want to do the interview?”

“No way!” Su Huaizhou immediately stuck her head out to explain, “I won’t go to the debate team tomorrow. I’ll be doing interviews for the Youth Association.”

Qi Lianyue looked puzzled. “The Youth Association has Xiaoyun and the others, but the debate team doesn’t have many people.”

“Ahem… Anyway, I’m not going tomorrow. I’ll be there for the evening meeting when the name list is out the day after tomorrow.”

“You’re not going when your dear Junior Brother will be there?” Qi Lianyue was speechless. “You’re a vice-captain.”

This was precisely why she couldn’t go—he would be there.

“Hey, why are you asking so many questions? It’s settled then.” Su Huaizhou retracted her head back inside the bed curtain. “Besides, I’m not going on stage for the debate team’s exhibition match.”

“Okay.” Qi Lianyue didn’t press further. “Then I won’t go to the Youth Association. Keep an eye on things tomorrow.”

“Mm-hmm!”

“Hey, hey, hey~ We haven’t finished the previous topic!” Shen Yu shouted from the side. “What’s going on with Zhouzhou and Junior Brother? Aren’t they already together?”

“Yueyue is just talking nonsense. She’s always imagining things,” Su Huaizhou complained. “If I said you’ve already kissed Zhang Panfeng, would you agree?”

“Of course I would. I’m looking forward to it.”

Su Huaizhou: “…”

There was no way to chat today.

“If you were as brave as you are now, you would have long taken Zhang Panfeng down,” Su Huaizhou retorted.

“I can’t!” Shen Yu collapsed onto her bed, resigned. “The moment I step out of this room, I’m sealed.”

“Zhang Panfeng even took on the role of class assistant to overcome his issues.” Su Huaizhou wasn’t letting up and attacked her again and again. “Be careful of your cute senior being seduced by a first-year sister.”

“Woohoo… Yueyue! Zhouzhou is bullying me~” Shen Yu whimpered on her bed and suddenly asked, “Oh, right. Yueyue, how are things with you and Zhao Lu?”

Qi Lianyue: “?”

You two were having a good chat. How did the conversation turn to me?

“That’s right.” Su Huaizhou turned her gun. “The captain of our debate team will be there tomorrow, right? It just so happens I’m not going to be a third wheel.”

“Get lost,” Qi Lianyue retorted. “Who wants to fall in love? With Zhao Lu’s personality, who would like him?”

“Beating is kissing, and scolding is love. Ah~ We understand!” Shen Yu clapped and cheered. The bag of potato chips was almost empty.

“Are you done chatting? Go to sleep already!” Qi Lianyue said impatiently. “One of you is socially anxious, so you date online, and the other is an old cow eating young grass. How do you have the cheek to talk about me?”

Su Huaizhou was exasperated. “I’m not!”

“It’s old grass eating a young cow!” Shen Yu shouted.

“Go to hell!”

This time, it was Su Huaizhou’s turn to invade enemy territory.

Under Shen Yu’s repeated pleas for mercy, Su Huaizhou finally relented with a huff and retreated.

The dorm room finally quieted down.

The three girls lay down again, prepared to sleep.

Before going to bed, Su Huaizhou checked her phone, scrolled through the chat history of Congee Boss and Zhouzhou Loves Congee, and re-read today’s new chapters.

[“Teacher Chen, Student Jiang can’t fall asleep~”]

[“What’s wrong?”]

[“I need a kiss on the cheek to fall asleep~”]

Ahhh!!! How did Junior Brother write something like this?

Su Huaizhou’s face was red, and her heart was thumping.

Who knew if she was blushing from reading the novel or because of something else.
