September 1st is a very painful day for every underachiever.

Zhong Yi returned to the school, which seemed like a besieged city, with a very bad mood. The school was divided into arts and sciences, and he chose the science stream. Zhong Yi was not good at studying, so it made no difference whether he chose arts or sciences.

After finding their dormitory room, they piled up various odds and ends on their bed and started to size them up.

In the eight-person dormitory, he had the bottom bunk near the wall, while the other beds were all neat and tidy. However, his bed was still a complete mess, dirty and disorganized.

Methodically, he tidied up his belongings one by one, then started to make the bed. Once everything was in order, Zhong Yi collapsed onto his bed, closed his eyes, and rested.

A head popped in at the door, with curly hair and an adorable face. With big round eyes staring, it looked inside.

Zhong Yi was still resting with his eyes closed, completely unaware that someone had arrived.

Zhao Yuyang ran in with small quick steps. With a glance, I saw a boy lying in the innermost part, wearing a dark red T-shirt that stood out brightly.

Hey, buddy, do you know how to make the bed? Help me out, will ya? It's for the guy next door to me." As soon as Zhong Yi opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yuyang winking at him. He was dressed in trendy brands, with round eyes and a pretty cute look.

Zhong Yi brushed his short hair back from his forehead with his hand. His almond-shaped phoenix eyes looked drowsy, but he quickly sat up and responded to Zhao Yuyang with a nod, "Okay."

Since there's nothing else to do anyway, there's no harm in lending a helping hand.

Zhao Yuyang gazed into Zhong Yi's eyes, and for some reason, he immediately thought of a fox. They were captivating and alluring. Zhao Yuyang smiled brightly and expressed his gratitude to Zhong Yi, saying, "Thank you!"

Zhongyi stood up and replied to Zhaoyuyang in a low voice, "It's nothing."

I followed Zhao Yuyang to the next-door dormitory. At the doorway, Zhong Yi paused and let out a sneeze. He had stayed up too late playing games last night. Before he could step inside, Zhao Yuyang's scream suddenly came from inside, causing Zhong Yi to take a step back in fright.

Zhong Yi curiously extended his neck to take a look.

Ah--! Jin Shaoze! Are you crazy!?" Zhao Yuyang shouted while clutching his back in pain.

"Where did you go when I asked you to make the bed?" Jin Shaoze's face turned cold as he held a soft pillow in his hand, threatening to kick Zhao Yuyang once again.

After that brutal kick landed on Zhao Yuyang, Zhong Yi slowly lifted his head to look at Jin Shaoze.

He's a good lad, quite tall as well. Not only is he tall, but he also has a handsome face and dresses stylishly. He's wearing a red baseball cap, a white T-shirt, black sport pants, and red sneakers.

Zhou Yi's mouth twitched imperceptibly, but he maintained a seemingly composed demeanor. However, his temper was exceptionally foul.

"Uncle! I'm going to find some help. If you kick me again, I'll bite you later!" Zhao Yuyang slipped to the side and pointed his finger at Zhong Yi while yelling loudly at Jin Shaoze, who had a completely undignified appearance. Suddenly, his face turned bright red.

Even though they were in the same dormitory, Jin Shaoze stood right in front of him while Zhao Yuyang insisted on using yelling to communicate.

Jin Shaoze glanced over and gave a sharp look at Zhong Yi, who happened to be assessing him as well.

"Can you make the bed?" Jin Shaoze spread his legs apart and looked at Zhong Yi.

"Hmm," Zhong Yi rolled his eyes and walked away, saying, "Sure. But I'm not interested in helping you."

Zhao Yuyang exploded immediately, "Hey, handsome guy! Don't leave, lend me a hand! Damn it!"

The sound rang out as Zhong Yi had long since sat on his bed, playing games. He was willing to help the mentally slow boy, but he couldn't care less about the other impulsive, drug-using boy.

Jin Shaoze snorted disdainfully through his nose. He lifted his leg and delivered a solid kick. Zhao Yuyang managed to dodge most of it, but still got grazed on the calf. He looked at Jin Shaoze, whose entire face turned black. "What kind of useless person did you find? Hurry up and make the bed!"

Zhao Yuyang rubbed his calf with a look of grievance, then reluctantly began tugging and adjusting the bedsheet, laying it out.

"Who was that guy just now?" Jin Shaoze sat down on an empty bed, lit a cigarette, and half-closed his eyes as he asked Zhao Yuyang.

Zhao Yuyang prepared Jin Shaoze's bed and then made his own bed. Although the made bed may not look appealing, it is durable.

"I don't know him! He's just the neighbor!" Zhao Yuyang said grumpily.

Being bullied by Jin Shaoze since he was young, Zhao Yuyang has now gotten used to it. He regards Jin Shaoze as his older brother, but he is treated like a dog by others. He has a bit of a temper, but he dares not retaliate, only venting his frustration silently.

Jin Shaoze exhaled a puff of smoke with a smirk on his face, "He really fucking deserves a beating."

Zhao Yuyang instantly understood Jin Shaoze's intentions and stared at him with a sarcastic remark, "Dude, you better give up on this. Considering the number of awards you've won for this school, they've been lenient with the trouble you caused. But if you start a fight right after school starts, get ready to be persuaded to drop out by the old headmaster."

Jin Shaoze may be unruly, but his academic performance is outstanding.

Jin Shaoze basically participates in various math competitions, English competitions, speech competitions, and so on, held at both the provincial and city levels. He effortlessly achieves a top-three ranking.

He could be considered a top student, but he doesn't appear to be that well-behaved. He is an exception among good students.

Intoxicated, Jin Shaoze took a deep drag and said with a cloud of smoke, "Stop babbling, got it!"

Zhao Yuyang shook his bedding with a hint of resignation in his eyes. He and Jin Shaoze were childhood friends, practically inseparable. Jin Shaoze had a bad temper, which Zhao Yuyang had known for quite some time. Occasionally, when Jin Shaoze would bully him, he didn't mind too much, considering it as nothing more than a joke. However, if anyone else dared to bully Zhao Yuyang, Jin Shaoze wouldn't hesitate for a second. With a fist as solid as iron, he would drag those people out and give them a good lesson, making sure they dare not fight back.

As for this, Zhao Yuyang has always regarded Jin Shaoze as a close buddy.

Dominant and arbitrary, specialized in protecting the weak, yet deeply values both love and righteousness.
