Chapter 1882 — Three Roommates

Seeing Song Xiaodao like this, Bai Weituo breathed a sigh of relief. The thing a college dorm feared most was running into the hard-to-get-along-with sort. You lived there four years; no one would be happy stuck with someone who didn't fit in.
But Zhao Shengji and Song Xiaodao both seemed easygoing, and Wei Zhao was hardly a stiff, hidebound type either. Bai Weituo counted himself lucky.
"We don't report to the department until tomorrow, so there's nothing to do today. From now on we brothers are all in the same trench. How about we go out and grab a bite? My treat!" Bai Weituo said, thumping his chest.
"Ha, fantastic. Eating's my favorite thing." Zhao Shengji patted his round belly and said.
"Sure—but let me, your brother, do the treating. I'm the last one here, so I'm the newcomer!" Song Xiaodao said.
"No need to argue. There'll be plenty of chances—one meal each!" Wei Zhao laughed. He had no objection to this fine college life; on the contrary, he found it genuine and joyful. Meeting a few friends and good brothers was a wonderful thing.
Ever since the pharmaceutical company had gotten busy, and Kang Xiaofeng had learned a thing or two about him, their relationship hadn't changed—yet they could never recapture the feeling of their school days. You could say Kang Xiaofeng had matured, grown up, taken on responsibility, but he had lost that lighthearted feeling of young people together.
And Wei Zhao had drifted too long; he wanted to return to that natural, warm kind of life. But in Songshan City he had been swept up in far more complicated factions and schemes. Now he had come to Donghai City, starting over from scratch, and he had thought about living a plain college life for a while.
"Now that's the spirit!" Song Xiaodao slapped his thigh. "Fine, next time it's on me!"
The four of them locked the door and, led by Bai Weituo, headed for the school's No. 4 cafeteria. Wei Zhao took out his phone and hesitated—he wanted to call Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu and have them come eat with them, but his new friends were still strangers to him, and it was Bai Weituo's treat; inviting them along didn't seem quite right. Besides, their own dormmates would probably be going out to eat too, wouldn't they?
Sure enough, before Wei Zhao could dial, a text message arrived—from the eldest young lady, telling him that she and her dorm sisters had only just met and were going out for a meal, so he would have to sort out his own dinner.
"Brother Lin, were you thinking of inviting Wang Xinyan along?" Seeing Wei Zhao take out his phone, Bai Weituo assumed that was his intent, and said, "Then have her come. We're all in the same major anyway... same class, really—our major only has one class!"
"What's this? What's this?" Song Xiaodao leaned in, glanced at Wei Zhao, and said, "Is there something going on here?"
