Ren Qinglin followed Jian Ran to join the remaining three people.

Seeing the two male gods in the school walking side by side, several of them were overwhelmed. Shen Zixiao showed an indescribable expression.

Jian Ran introduced Ren Qinglin to his roommates, “Ren Qinglin, a freshman, you all know him. His dorm is across ours and he will come back with us.”

Ren Qinglin greeted with a smile: “I’ll have to trouble the seniors.”

Just now, Ji Yuanxi, who had said that Ren Qinglin was a fart, called with enthusiasm, “Hey, we’re all from the same college, you are welcome.”

Ke Yan distributed the umbrellas he brought to everyone, “Well, I only brought four umbrellas.”

Ji Yuanxi doggedly said: “It’s okay, Ren Qinglin and I will just endure it.”

Jian Ran:? ? ?

What happened to supporting me forever? You big pig’s hoof.

“No need,” Jian Ran opened the umbrella, “you each have one. Old Ji, you and I are together.”

Ji Yuanxi: “Why me?”

“Because you have thick skin and thick flesh, and are not afraid of boiling water, so it’s nothing to get in the rain.”

Ji Yuanxi smiled ambiguously, “No need to explain, I know that you just want to hold an umbrella with me~”

Jian Ran laughed and cursed: “Go away, don’t put gold on your face.”

Shen Zixiao “coughed” twice, and said solemnly: “He’s someone in a relationship. Pay attention.”

“It’s okay,” Ji Yuanxi touched Jian Ran’s face, “My girlfriend won’t be jealous.”

Hearing the second half of Ji Yuanxi’s sentence, Ren Qing’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed, reminding them: “Seniors, the rain seems to be a little lighter.”

Jian Ran nodded, “Let’s go then.”

It’s about fifteen minutes from the basketball court to the boys’ dormitory. Ren Qinglin walked at the end with an umbrella alone, and in front of him were Ji Yuanxi and Jian Ran who were holding an umbrella together.

The two hooked their shoulders, talking and laughing, as if they were good buddies.

They are all wearing jerseys, their arms touching each other’s. Jian Ran became a lot whiter, with skin like that of a little girl.

Ren Qinglin stared at the water drops on the back of Jian’s neck for a while, and licked the tips of his teeth.

He didn’t know what topic Ji Yuanxi and Jian Ran were talking about, but the former gave Jian Ran a shove. Ji Yuanxi didn’t use much strength, but Jian Ran played the ball for almost two hours, and his body was limp. Jian Ran was pushed out of the umbrella.

Ji Yuanxi hurriedly lifted the umbrella in Jian Ran’s direction, but didn’t expect someone to be a step faster than him.

Ren Qinglin supported Jian Ran’s back and helped him stabilize his body, “Senior, are you okay?”

Jian Ran said “It’s okay” perfunctorily. He pointed to Ji Yuanxi, and raised his fist with a defiant look-You might die with one punch.

Ji Yuanxi knew the situation very much and made a frightened expression, screaming and running away.

Jian Ran looked at his antics and couldn’t help but smile: “Stupid.”

There was heavy rain all around, and Jian Ran had nowhere to go except under Ren Qinglin’s umbrella.

The air was full of the smell of wet rain, but Ren Qinglin could still capture the faint, fresh smell of Jian Ran.

Did this guy really just finish playing? Why doesn’t he smell of sweat?

Ren Qinglin moved the umbrella towards Jian Ran as he thought about it.

In the sound of the storm, neither of them spoke.

Jian Ran was a little puzzled. In the past, when he and Ren Qinglin were alone, Ren Qinglin would definitely have said a few words, but today he was so quiet that he wondered if he took the wrong medicine or changed his sex.

Jian Ran took the initiative to speak: “Are you used to living in college?”

Ren Qinglin: “It’s okay, there’s nothing one doesn’t become used to.”

“By the way, why would you choose this major?” Jian Ran folded his hands behind his head, looking relaxed and comfortable. “You will inherit your family business after graduation. Why would you want to study network engineering?”

Ren Qinglin said casually: “Since I’ll inherit the family business, it’s the same for all majors.”

When Jian Ran heard it, it seemed to be the reason.

“What about senior?” Ren Qinglin asked, “Why did you choose this major?”

Jian Ran replied decisively: “Because I like it, it’s fun to type code, especially the moment when there is no bug after running-that refreshing feeling, it can make one ascend to heaven.”

Ren Qinglin looked down at Jian Ran’s side face, and said with a smile: “Senior is also a top student.”

“I can’t talk about Xueba, Ke Yan is the Xueba, you can ask him if you don’t understand anything professionally in the future.”

Ren Qinglin raised her eyebrows, “Can’t I ask you?”

“You can,” Jian Ran said indifferently, “I may not necessarily know.”

The heavy rain took away the sultry summer heat. Although his beloved sneakers were wet, Jian Ran was in a surprisingly good mood.

Look, as long as Ren Qinglin speaks well and says goodbye to death, they can still communicate happily.

The phone in his pocket rang, and Jian Ran looked at the ID and made a silencing gesture to Ren Qinglin before answering the call.

“Mum, why did you suddenly call me?”

“I just finished playing, and I’m going to return to the dormitory. Hmm, I’ll go to eat in a while.”

Ren Qinglin:…

Ren Qinglin grew up to be 18 years old, spending half of his life in Beijing and half of his life abroad. Except for occasionally listening to a few Cantonese songs, he rarely touched Cantonese. What Jian Ran said now sounded like a heavenly book to him.

Ren Qinglin touched the bridge of his nose with his hand.

Hmm… this is a hidden danger. After all, he’ll go back to his hometown with Jian Ran in the future.

Jian Ran hung up the phone and saw Ren Qinglin looking thoughtful, and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Ren Qinglin: “…Senior, your accent switched too quickly, right. Is it your mother’s call?”

“It’s my grandma.” Jian Ran said casually, “she just asked about you.”

Ren Qinglin was taken aback, “What did she ask?”

“Just asking about how your personality is and whether we get along well or something.”

“Then how did you answer?”

Jian Ran smiled slyly, “Didn’t you hear everything?”

Ren Qinglin: “…”

Seeing Ren Qinglin defeated for the first time, Jian Ran was in a good mood and smiled so that his eyes were crooked.

“Brother,” Jian Ran patted Ren Qinglin on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, “The rule of world, you always have to pay back when you come out to mess around.”

Ren Qinglin’s voice was deep, “Then tell me, what do I still owe the senior?”

Jian Ran didn’t think deeply about Ren Qinglin’s words, and said carelessly: “Don’t worry, pay it back later.”

Ren Qinglin raised the corners of his lips, “Okay.”

Ren Qinglin returned to the dormitory, and the other roommates who had just returned were all drenched.

Seeing Ren Qinglin who only wet his trouser legs, his roommate was shocked: “Qinglin, how did you do it, did you bring an umbrella?”

Ren Qinglin said lightly: “I have a senior, do you have one?”

The roommates looked at each other.

“Senior Jian Ran?”

“Yeah.”

“Damn, you have such a good relationship with him! He shared an umbrella today, and tomorrow you will have a dinner together and watch a movie at night. Is there really attraction between handsome guys? Then if I am like this can I still be friends with you?”

Ren Qinglin smiled, “I’ll think about it.”

Ren Qinglin was not in a hurry to take a bath. He took out his mobile phone and searched on Baidu: How to quickly learn Cantonese.

After this shower, the temperature dropped, and the freshmen’s days were finally not so hard. According to the school’s tradition, the military parade will be held on the last day of the military training and the opening ceremony will be held at the same time.

The counselor found Jian Ran in private and asked him to prepare a speech for the opening ceremony of the college.

Jian Ran asked the question again “Why is it me again?”

Counselor, “You are handsome and your grades are good, and the younger students like to see you.”

Jian Ran rightly refused: “Everyone comes to college to study, not to see me. You should go to the first place in my grade.”

“Do you think I don’t want to? I’ve talked to Ke Yan, but he said that he was busy in the laboratory and didn’t have time.” The counselor sighed, “Ke Yan is good everywhere, but he is too timid. Because of his stage fright, how many good opportunities has he missed? It is a pity for him.”

Jian Ran thoughtfully, “I’ll go back and ask him.”

In the evening, when Ke Yan went to wash the clothes, Jian Ran followed. He put the dirty clothes in the washing machine and asked: “Ke Yan, why don’t you want to give a speech?” Before Ke Yan could answer, Jian Ran said again: “I asked the senior in the same laboratory as you, she said that your project is over, and you are not busy right now.”

Ke Yan pursed his lips and whispered, “I don’t want to waste time on this kind of thing.”

Jian Ran looked depressed, “Well, then I can only do it by myself. Ah, irritable.”

Ke Yan asked: “Brother Jian, don’t you want to go?”

“Of course I don’t want to!” Jian Ran said dejectedly, leaning on the washing machine, “You don’t know how busy I am recently. There are a lot of messy things at home. I’m not in the mood to prepare for the opening ceremony.”

Ke Yan also knows a little bit about Jian Ran’s family background. At this moment, he thought about the elementary school bully of a show of wealthy family, and looked at Jian Ran with sympathy. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, I’m just… just a little scared.”

Jian Ran said graciously: “It’s okay, it’s not a big deal. I’ll stay up a few nights to prepare. I’m used to it. Don’t feel embarrassed.”

The little angel Ke Yan felt more guilty. He gritted his teeth and said, “Brother Jian, go and do your house work. The speech… I’ll do it for you!”

The opening ceremony of the college was held in the school’s small auditorium. Because the venue is not large, students in other grades did not need to participate except for the freshmen.

Ten minutes before the ceremony, Ke Yan was escorted all the way to the entrance of the auditorium by his three roommates.

Ji Yuanxi: “Just go in, I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Um…” Ke Yan swallowed, looking a little nervous.

Shen Zixiao said, “Didn’t you recite to the three of us in the dormitory very well? As long as you imagine everyone in the audience as us, this will be all right!”

Jian Ran rarely agreed with Shen Zixiao’s statement, “Yes, just assume you are in the dormitory. There is nothing to be afraid of.”

Ke Yan nodded and said awkwardly: “Then I will go in.”

Seeing Ke Yan walk into the auditorium and almost tripping over himself when he went up the steps, Ji Yuanxi couldn’t help worrying like an old mother, “You say, is he really good?”

“Should be fine.” Shen Zixiao dug out his ears with his fingers. “He worked so hard, he was mumbling speeches when he was dreaming at night, and I didn’t sleep at all.”

Ji Yuanxi sighed: “It’d be nice if I could go in and take a look.”

Jian Ran: “I know the senior sister from the school office. If I say hello to her I should be able to go in.”

Shen Zixiao sang: “How many good sisters do you have—”

Jian Ran found the senior sister to explain why. The senior sister said: “I want to help you too, but the auditorium is probably full.”

Ji Yuanxi asked: “Can’t we stand and watch?”

The elder sister thought for a while and said, “Now it is the leader of the school who is speaking, and the order inside must not be chaotic. Then, when it is the student’s turn to speak, you can go in through the back door and try to stand in the corner to watch.”

“That is very good.” Jian Ran smiled, “Thank you, senior sister, I will invite you to dinner another day.”

The senior sister smiled: “This is what you said, don’t play tricks then.”

The three waited for more than half an hour before the senior sister let them in.

Jian Ran stooped, followed behind Shen Zixiao, and walked in from the door like a thief, and found an imperceptible corner to stand.

At this time, the host on the stage said: “Now I invite the student representative, Ren Qinglin, a freshman from the School of Network Engineering and Computer Department, to give a speech on stage.”

There was enthusiastic applause from the stage, and the girls instantly sat upright.

Jian Ran: “…Why isn’t it Ke Yan?”

“It should be Ke Yan after Ren Qinglin.” Shen Zixiao said, “A new student, an old student, this was the case last year.”

Jian Ran gave a “tsk”, “It’s a waste of time.”

In everyone’s eyes, Ren Qinglin stepped onto the podium without any haste.

He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, aesthetic and elegant, with ease.

Jian Ran looked a little stunned—Is this really the schoolboy who likes to flirt in front of him? ? ?

Shen Zixiao started taunting on the sidelines: “Do you still think you are wasting time?”
