Chapter 2: That Roommate
When Xiao Yuze returned to the apartment, it was already 10:30 at night. Seeing that the light in the room not far away was still on, he couldn’t help but frown.
He loosened his tie a bit and walked toward the half-open door with his long legs.
“Ahhh! Play ADC! Group up! Hey, hey! Don’t run! Ahhh! The crystal! The crystal!”
Before he even got close, he could hear an angry and frustrated voice from inside.
Just as he pushed the door open, the young man sitting in the chair not far away suddenly slumped down like a deflated balloon.
On his computer screen, his team’s base crystal had already been destroyed by the enemy.
“Ahhh! Trash game!”
Not noticing that the door had been opened, Mu Le complained with an annoyed face, then directly clicked to uninstall the game.
“If I remember correctly, this is already the third time you’ve deleted it, right?”
“Huh? Aze, you’re back?!” The sudden voice made Mu Le freeze for a moment. When he saw the young man at the door, his eyes lit up.
Xiao Yuze didn’t reply. He glanced at the takeaway boxes that were still on the table, then sighed helplessly. “I brought you some late-night food. Want to eat?”
“Late-night food? Yes, yes, yes!” As soon as he heard that, Mu Le jumped up from his chair without hesitation.
Watching Mu Le rush past him to look for food like he always did, Xiao Yuze sighed again.
Back then, why did I make such a bad decision to choose this troublesome guy as my roommate?
“Wow! There’s crayfish!”
In the living room, after opening the food Xiao Yuze brought, Mu Le’s eyes shined even brighter.
“Yeah, I remember you like it… slow down, no one is going to take it from you!”
Seeing Mu Le already grabbing the food like he hadn’t eaten for days, Xiao Yuze’s mouth twitched a little.
“I’m going to take a shower. Eat slowly. There’s some porridge for you in the other bag.”
While skillfully peeling the crayfish, Mu Le waved his hand at him. “Okay, okay, go ahead.”
He didn’t eat lunch today because he was busy writing, and in the afternoon he only had some takeaway food.
After getting angry from playing games, the crayfish was exactly what he needed right now.
“You, honestly…”
Xiao Yuze shook his head with a helpless smile. Then he went into his room, took some clean clothes, and entered the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water could be heard.
“Hmm, such a good man… It’s really a miracle he doesn’t have a girlfriend.”
Looking at the faint figure behind the bathroom glass, Mu Le clicked his tongue.
Xiao Yuze, a senior one year above him, is also his roommate.
Not only is he handsome, but he also has a great body. The type that looks slim in clothes but strong underneath, like a perfect model.
And it’s not just his looks. His parents are the owners of a big company in the city. From every angle, he’s the perfect rich and handsome guy.
It was summer vacation now, and recently Xiao Yuze had been following his father to learn how to manage the company, while also building his own connections.
Compared to him, Mu Le couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed.
While the other person was already learning how to run a family business, he himself was just wasting time and living day by day.
Of course, if he really had to live the same kind of life as Xiao Yuze, Mu Le would definitely not want that.
For him, his current life was already very satisfying.
He had always been the type of person who liked a simple life. As long as things were calm and ordinary, without big problems, that was already great.
Actually, even Mu Le himself found it hard to believe that he could become Xiao Yuze’s roommate.
After all, Xiao Yuze was someone who ranked near the top of the campus popularity list. How did he somehow end up becoming his roommate?
“Don’t you feel too full eating that much?”
While Mu Le was lost in his thoughts, Xiao Yuze had already come out of the bathroom. Seeing the small pile of crayfish shells in front of him, he couldn’t help but comment.
Since it was the middle of summer, he was shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts.
While drying his hair, Xiao Yuze sat down directly across from Mu Le.
Mu Le looked up slightly and could still see drops of water on his body.
If a girl were sitting here, she would probably scream at the sight of such a handsome man just out of the shower.
Of course, Mu Le didn’t think he was into men. He was just a bit jealous of Xiao Yuze’s good body.
After all, they were both men, but at 170 cm tall, Mu Le was a whole head shorter than Xiao Yuze.
And because he was a shut-in who never exercised, with thin arms and legs, compared to Xiao Yuze, he looked like a weak little sprout.
Feeling uncomfortable under Mu Le’s gaze, Xiao Yuze blinked in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I was just thinking about what kind of girlfriend you would like.”
After finishing the last crayfish, Mu Le replied casually.
“Girlfriend?” Hearing the question, Xiao Yuze actually showed a thoughtful expression for once.
“So? What kind do you like?”
His reaction made Mu Le curious. Usually, Xiao Yuze would just say he wasn’t interested in dating yet.
Mu Le was very curious about his type.
“Hmm… probably someone small and cute. Long straight black hair would be nice too. As long as she looks cute…”
Xiao Yuze touched his chin and answered in a half-serious, half-joking tone.
“That’s it? Just that?” Mu Le was clearly not satisfied.
This answer was obviously too simple!
“Why are you so curious about this? Actually, my father also talked to me about getting a girlfriend today. I’m not even in a hurry, so why are you all so worried?” Xiao Yuze smiled and shook his head, then stood up from the sofa.
“I’m just caring about you! Think about it, you’re already a third-year student. If you don’t date now, when will you have time?”
Mu Le looked like he was waiting to be praised, which made Xiao Yuze want to laugh. He suddenly felt like teasing him.
He cleared his throat and put on a serious face. “How about this, why don’t you turn into a girl, and we just make do?”
“Cough, cough!”
Startled by his words, Mu Le almost spat out the porridge in his mouth.
He looked up and met Xiao Yuze’s teasing eyes, then raised his middle finger.
“Why don’t you turn into a girl! I might consider accepting you!”
“Pfft… You can barely take care of yourself. If anything, you should be the one turning into a girl, and I’ll take care of you.” Xiao Yuze gave him a look of dislike, then turned and walked toward his room without waiting for a reply.
“Fine! I’ll turn into a girl then! If you don’t take care of me, I’ll bite you to death!”
Facing his back, Mu Le shouted angrily.
“Yeah, yeah.” Without turning around, Xiao Yuze waved his hand and said, “Clean up later, and go to bed early.”
