Chapter 16

Chen Hansheng was finally done with cleaning but he was now the one feeling icky.

“I’m going to take a shower. Just give me two minutes,” said Chen Hansheng with a frown.

Yang Shichao and Guo Shaoqiang were already growing impatient and started to complain. “Hurry up. You’re the only one who is being so busy.”

“‘Well, you chose me to be the room leader and now you can’t wait for me just for a few more minutes?”

Chen Hansheng argued back, picked up his change of clothes, and rushed into the bathroom.

When the sound of the shower came, Yang Shichao muttered, “I’m still the oldest here.”

The anticipation of going out together at night excited the residents of Room 602.

Things started to get lively in the room. Even Yang Shichao and Jin Yangming had somehow reconciled despite their conflict earlier.

Chen Hansheng cleaned himself slowly and carefully. This was Jiangling University Town, which meant there would be countless beauties walking around tonight. If he got drunk, he might even have a romantic encounter.

‘Although the possibility is relatively small, we should still be prepared. We can’t simply let a chance with a beauty go tonight!’

Chen Hansheng started to imagine all the flirtatious ways he would pick up girls. He then quickly realized that it had gone silent outside. He thought for a moment and felt that something was wrong. He walked out after putting on a pair of underpants and was shocked.

Professor Guo Zhongyun was standing in the room and his roommates were cowering before him. They had their heads lowered and did not dare to make a sound.

“What are you guys so dressed up for?”

Guo Zhongyun targeted the five roommates and ignored Chen Hansheng since he had just gotten out of the shower.

Jin Yangming stole a glance at Chen Hansheng because this was the latter’s idea. However, he did not dare to rat Hansheng out so he remained silent along with the others.

Guo Zhongyun knew something was up and was just about to keep questioning when Chen Hansheng quickly put his shirt on and walked towards them. “Professor Guo, we had just cleaned the balcony and felt a little hungry, so I suggested that we go out for supper.”

The roommates heaved a huge sigh of relief the moment they heard Chen Hansheng take responsibility. Plus, he had even credited them for the balcony cleaning earlier.

However, little did they expect that Guo Zhongyun would be more fixated on the clean balcony than the fact that they were about to go out late at night.

He walked over to the balcony and praised them. “Room 602, you did well. I was just finishing my rounds throughout the male dorm and you were the only ones who took such an initiative.

“Alright, then. I won’t keep you from having supper. But do be careful and don’t be out for too long.”

Guo Zhongyun turned around to leave.

The five roommates did not expect Professor Guo to let them off so easily.

They were still stuck in high school student mode where teachers were ready to meddle with every aspect of their lives. However, they were now university students and the teachers here would not go too far.

Guo Zhongyun had been a professor at the university for a long time. Thus, he understood the boundaries of the university. He could not be bothered to ask about the private lives of a bunch of young adults.

Just as Guo Zhongyun was about to step out of the room, Chen Hansheng suddenly shouted after him. “Professor Guo, if you’re free tonight, let’s go together.”

“What?!”

Jin Yangming almost cried out. It was not easy to get the professor to leave, so why would they bring him long? Besides, Guo Zhongyun would definitely not agree.

But Chen Hansheng had his own plans. Thus, he knew that Guo Zhongyun would agree.

And just as Chen Hansheng had expected, Guo Zhongyun pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying “Alright, but no drinking.”

“No problem, as you wish, Professor.”
