As the two of them walked toward the dormitory, Wang Feng happened to glance at the bulletin board.
The notice simply stated that the headteacher of Class One was Zhou Yi, and the headteacher of Class Two was... Below those names were the names of the students they would be teaching.
Wang Feng saw that both his name and Huo Yuhao's were listed under Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi? It seemed this class wasn't determined by registration time. Wang Feng and Huo Yuhao had registered near the end of the enrollment period.
Wang Feng turned to Huo Yuhao while still looking at the bulletin board and said, "Yuhao, looks like we'll be in the same class."
Huo Yuhao looked in the same direction as Wang Feng, activating his soul power and using his Spirit Eyes' powerful visual ability, allowing him to clearly read the words on the notice.
"That's great, Wang Feng. We're in the same class," Huo Yuhao said softly, his tone full of joy.
Wang Feng smiled. "Are you really that happy to be in the same class as me? Then how would you feel if we shared the same dorm room?"
Huo Yuhao lowered his head shyly at Wang Feng's teasing words. He ignored the question and kept walking straight toward the dormitory building.
The two of them walked slowly past the central teaching building for new students and the Class Three teaching building. Not long after, they arrived at the dormitory for new students.
The dormitory complex covered a large area. Even though it was just one big building, it had four color-coded sections: white, yellow, purple, and black. This clearly indicated that the four sections were meant for students of different levels.
Wang Feng and the other new students approached the white building's entrance, where Wang Feng noticed an elderly man sitting there.
The old man was dressed in plain white clothes, with deep wrinkles covering his face. His eyes were yellowed, and his drooping eyelids made him look as if he were on the brink of death.
He lay there quietly at the entrance, basking in the sunlight shining between the buildings, looking quite comfortable.
Wang Feng thought he was just an ordinary old man, but still, he stepped forward to greet him politely.
Wang Feng quickly took Huo Yuhao's hand and walked forward, respectfully asking, "Hello, Grandpa. We're two new students who just enrolled and are moving into the dorm. Are you the dorm manager here?"
The old man gave a slight nod, then slowly raised his trembling right hand. A hoarse, low voice reached their ears: "Show me your badge and dorm key."
Wang Feng quickly handed over both items.
The old man simply waved them in front of his eyes, then handed them back and said, "Go ahead, kids. Dorm 108 is your room, it's the third room on the left on the first floor."
After receiving the directions, Wang Feng quickly said, "Thank you for your guidance." He and Huo Yuhao bowed politely to the old man before entering the dorm building.
At that moment, the old man remained in his original position, unmoving. He muttered to himself, "You two are really polite children. I didn't expect anyone to talk to me, looking like this…"
"And just now… I felt a pressure from my bloodline. Could it be that child has a dragon-type martial soul too...?"
After that, the old man lowered his eyelids again and lay quietly at the entrance...
At that moment, a few figures walked toward the dorm building, but all of them simply passed by the old man and headed straight for the staircase...
Since the dorm rooms for pairs were on the first floor, there was no need to climb the stairs. Wang Feng and Huo Yuhao soon arrived at their assigned room—Dorm No. 108.
They opened the dorm room door, and a wave of stale air rushed out. They quickly stepped aside. After waiting a few moments, they held their breath and hurried inside to open the windows. The room had clearly been empty for at least a month. A layer of dust covered everything.
Wang Feng and Huo Yuhao looked at each other, each seeing the helpless expression on the other's face.
After about a quarter of an hour, they finally finished cleaning the room. With the help of Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes, even the hard-to-reach corners were spotless, with no dirt left behind.
Wang Feng, feeling extremely hungry, immediately invited Huo Yuhao to go eat at the cafeteria. However, Huo Yuhao looked hesitant when he heard the word "eat."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's hesitation, Wang Feng seemed to realize something. "Don't worry, I'll treat you this time."
Huo Yuhao didn't look happy hearing this. Instead, he lowered his head even more and said, "Wang Feng, I've already troubled you a lot. I can't keep burdening you."
Hearing this, Wang Feng fell silent. Then, without saying a word, he simply grabbed Huo Yuhao and dragged him toward the cafeteria.
At the cafeteria, he immediately ordered two identical portions. The food was made from valuable soul beast meat. Wang Feng picked up the tray and handed one to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao, who was about to say something, ended up staying quiet. He thought to himself silently, If Wang Feng gives me something today, I'll definitely repay him in the future!
After the two of them finished eating, Wang Feng said to Huo Yuhao, "From now on, I'll pay for all your meals. I'll be your meal ticket."
This time, Huo Yuhao didn't refuse. He smiled broadly and nodded at Wang Feng.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't refuse, Wang Feng let out a sigh of relief.
After a casual walk along the Sea God Lake, Wang Feng and Huo Yuhao returned to their dormitory. Night was falling, and the air had grown cooler. Along the way, Huo Yuhao looked slightly hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but was holding it in. However, once they reached their dorm room door, he finally mustered his courage.
"Wang Feng, I want to talk to you about something," Huo Yuhao said softly.
Wang Feng turned and nodded. "Hm? What is it, Yuhao?"
"Actually… I want to ask you for a favor," he said with his head lowered.
Wang Feng smiled. "What is it? Just say it. I'll definitely help."
Huo Yuhao looked a little nervous before finally saying, "When I shower, could you wait outside until I'm done?"
Wang Feng raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Why? We're both guys. I'm not interested in you, you know. I'm still normal. Or… don't tell me you're—"
"It's not that!" Huo Yuhao quickly interrupted, his face slightly red. "I just… I'm not used to people seeing me after I shower. It feels uncomfortable."
Wang Feng stared at him for a moment, then chuckled. "Alright, if that's all, I can do that. You want to shower now?"
"Yeah… please wait outside for a bit. I'll be quick." With that, Huo Yuhao quickly slipped into the bathroom, as if he were escaping.
About twenty minutes later, Huo Yuhao's gentle voice called from inside the room, "You can come in now, Wang Feng."
Wang Feng, who had been waiting, opened the door and entered. As soon as he saw Huo Yuhao, he froze for a moment.
Water still dripped from his short blue hair. His face was slightly flushed, likely from the hot shower. His large eyes looked at Wang Feng shyly.
Wang Feng realized his thoughts were starting to wander and quickly looked away, trying to stay calm.
"What's wrong, Wang Feng? Why are you looking at me like that?" Huo Yuhao asked with a confused tone, tilting his head slightly.
Wang Feng cleared his throat. "N-Nothing. I just didn't expect you to be this… handsome."
Huo Yuhao looked even more confused. "What do you mean?"
"I mean… well, never mind." Wang Feng said while scratching his head, trying to avoid any misunderstanding.
With a soft voice, Huo Yuhao asked, "Why are you suddenly saying things like that?"
Wang Feng averted his gaze. "It's nothing… I just felt like saying it."
Without waiting for a reply, Wang Feng immediately flopped down onto his bed, while Huo Yuhao let out a soft sigh before doing the same. It had been a long day, and they both needed a good rest.
