Cheng Si's family drove back to their old house in the south city early in the morning. They had someone clean the house before the New Year, so it was very tidy. However, since no one had lived there for a few days, there was still some dust. They would not be living there for long, so they simply tidied it up.

Cheng Si took a nap as soon as he came back. When he woke up, it was time for dinner. After he finished his meal, the adults in the family went shopping for gifts to be given in the next few days.

Cheng Si was a little bored staying in the house alone, so he read a book to kill time, but found it boring, so he sent a message in the dormitory group asking if anyone in South City was free and wanted to hang out together.

This one sentence immediately caused an uproar in the group, with a dazzling array of chat messages popping up. Cheng Si was a little impressed by their typing speed, which made him seem like he had just learned how to use a mobile phone.

Cheng Si swiped upwards to start reading the information from the front.

【Good luck: @沉思 Come on, I just happen to be poor now and I only have money left, and I’m still thinking about how to spend it. 】

When Cheng Si saw the nickname, he was a little confused as to who it was. Before he asked, someone answered it for him.

[Huolu: @Dajidali Monkey, what name did you change to? I almost didn’t recognize it. ]

[Good luck: Isn’t this name nice to hear? Very auspicious. ]

[Huo Luo: To be honest, it’s a bit tacky, like a nickname that the older generation would use.]

Hou Zuocheng sent an eye-rolling emoticon, [Good luck: Yours is not much better, just hearing the name makes my bones ache, it reminds me of the Huoluo oil I often use.]

The two of them kept disliking each other, and Cheng Si turned over as if it was normal.

【Mr. Lin: You two should be quiet. You are both the same. Speak less.】

The topic was finally stopped, and several people tagged Cheng Si and asked where they were going to play.

Cheng Si hadn't thought about it yet, so he asked for their opinions. [Thinking: I don't know where to go for fun, do you have any recommendations?]

[Huo Luo: I know where to go for fun, but it's probably Spring Festival holiday now, so I guess it won't be open until the sixth day of the first lunar month.]

[Mr. Lin: If you don’t know where to go, you can come to my house.]

【Good luck: Will it disturb your family? 】

【Mr. Lin: I rented the house by myself, and no one is home. 】

The group fell silent. In fact, after being together for so long, everyone probably knew the situation at Lin Zhi's home.

Cheng Si paused before speaking first. [Thinking: Okay, let’s go to your house. I’ll buy whatever you want to eat and bring it over.]

After Cheng Si took the lead and changed the topic, others also started talking.

[Song Ci: I may not be free now. If you guys play late, I'll come over if I have time. ]

……

At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Si knocked on the door of the address given by Lin Zhi. When he arrived, he was holding two paper bags, one of which was the snacks they ordered.

With both hands holding things, it was inconvenient to knock on the door with some weight, so Cheng Si had no choice but to use his elbow to press the doorbell.

When Lin Zhi came to open the door, he raised his eyebrows when he saw his appearance, "Why do you have so many things in your hands? Are you saving money for those two?"

Cheng Si looked at him helplessly and said, "Let's go in first."

Lin Zhi said "Oh" and made way for the two people to enter.

Cheng Si put Ma Xiao on the table and looked around the rented house. It looked pretty good.

Lin Zhi looked at him and smiled. "Brother Cheng, what do you think of this house? The lighting and space are good, and the feng shui is good. Do you want to rent it?"

Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Cheng Si knew that he should be fine, and felt relieved. He got to the point, "Aren't they here yet?"

"Well, they said they wanted to order a luxury package," Lin Zhi said with a smile, "They played games very late yesterday, so I guess they might just get up now."

Cheng Si nodded in approval, thinking that what Lin Zhi said was most likely the truth.

He pushed himself and another paper bag in front of Lin Zhi and said lightly, "Birthday present."

Lin Zhi’s birthday happened to be the time when Cheng Si went to winter camp, and I haven’t found the time since then, so I only sent it out now.

Lin Zhi took it and thanked him without saying anything, then put the gift on the coffee table. "I'll open it later."

Cheng Si didn't have any objection, but he would be embarrassed if Lin Zhi dismantled it in front of him.

He just glanced along the line of sight and found somewhat strangely that there was a large unopened express box next to the coffee table. He didn't know what Lin Zhi bought, but Cheng Si didn't ask much.

The two of them were bored sitting there, so Lin Zhi found a movie on his laptop and they watched it while waiting for others to come.

The two were halfway through watching a movie when they heard a noise at the door. Lin Zhi went to open the door, and soon there was a commotion in the house.

"That's OK, brother. It seems very comfortable to live alone. I have some ideas." Hou Zuocheng hooked his shoulder.

Lin Zhi shook it off with a look of disgust, "Then I wish you good luck."

Hou Zuocheng could hear something behind the words. His family had only one boy for three generations, and he was the only child of his generation. He was the treasure of the family, and there was no way they would let him live out by himself.

"This room is really nice. If I run away from home one day, can you take me in, Brother Lin?" Su Luoyin asked with a grin.

Lin Zhi was equally disgusted, "You can come and stay, but don't disgust me."

When everyone arrived, they gathered in a circle and ate and chatted.

We talked about some random things about daily life at home during the New Year, and the topic suddenly turned to their dormitory.

Su Luoyin started the conversation first. His expression was a little serious. "Have you noticed that our dormitories are getting farther and farther apart?"

Hou Zuocheng was stunned. "What do you mean? How far is it?"

Su Luoyin bit a chicken wing and didn't say anything for the time being, enjoying the food slowly.

Hou Zuocheng got angry when he saw him like this and rolled his eyes in front of him.

Su Luoyin finished eating the chicken wings before continuing, "You play games in the dormitory every day, so it's normal that you don't know."

Hou Zuocheng curled his lips and did not express any opinion for the time being, listening to him continue.

"Haven't you noticed that we haven't talked to Xiao Wu much since the National Day, and he hasn't been in the group much anymore."

The three of them frowned after hearing this, as if they suddenly remembered their roommate. Su Luoyin didn't beat around the bush and continued, "I went to the office before the holiday and overheard that Student Wu said he wanted to change dormitories. He told the teacher that sharing a dorm with us would affect him. The teacher said that he would talk to us next semester. I wanted to ask what you think."

The three of them were very quiet, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Hou Zuocheng asked in surprise, "No, how did we disturb him? If you said I was disturbing him because of my game, you can tell me. I usually wear headphones and I didn't say any bad words."

Seeing Hou Zuocheng so excited, Lin Zhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why are you so anxious? We don't know what the situation is. After school starts, let's ask Wu Zisheng what he thinks."

Cheng Si is the quietest one among them. To be honest, he has not been close to other people in the dormitory since he fell in love with Jin Li.

The topic gradually turned to the subject selection and the issue of volunteering after one semester.

Perhaps it was the new atmosphere after the New Year that meant these laughing teenagers had grown one year older and had begun to think about their future direction.
