I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 044

Lin Xian walked out of the room and found three people entering the living room.

The leader was a student wearing glasses, followed by his parents.

From their attire, their family seemed not well-off, and his parents appeared a bit reserved.

Seeing this, Lin Xian took the initiative to greet them, “Hello, Uncle and Auntie, my name is Lin Xian. What should I call you, buddy?”

“Zhang Kai!”

The buddy with glasses smiled shyly. He was not tall, had dark skin, and his smile carried a hint of simplicity.

“We’ll be dorm mates from now on, please take care of me,” Lin Xian said with a smile.

They were all around the same age. At first, they might have been a bit reserved, but Zhang Kai quickly got familiar with Lin Xian.

“Lin Xian, didn’t your parents come with you?” Zhang Kai asked curiously as he put down his large bags and small packages.

Lin Xian nodded and said, “My home is quite close to Jinling, so I didn’t let them come.”

“You’re amazing!”

A hint of admiration flashed in Zhang Kai’s eyes. After touring the dorm, he smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Jin Cai’s dorm to be so good, even better than my home.”

Zhang Kai’s parents were also very satisfied with the dorm, but when they heard that renting an air conditioner cost money, a hint of heartache flashed in their eyes.

After the beds were made and items were organized, Zhang Kai’s father spoke, “Lin Xian, Xiao Kai is a bit stubborn. Please take care of him more in the future. Thank you!”

Although he was not eloquent, he could tell that even though Lin Xian was young, he was sophisticated and handled social situations far better than his own son.

Lin Xian smiled and said, “Uncle, don’t worry. We’re dorm mates and will spend the next four years together. I’ll definitely take care of him if I can.”

Zhang’s father smiled honestly, then instructed Zhang Kai, “Your mother and I are leaving. Study well in college, and call us if anything happens.”

As soon as Zhang Kai’s parents left, another student walked in.

This student, like Lin Xian, came to register alone.

His hairstyle was very fashionable, he wore a Givenchy T-shirt, and had a pair of AJ sneakers on his feet.

“Yo, you guys came quite early! My name is Wang Zejing, what should I call you?”

Wang Zejing clearly came from a good family and was quite outgoing. As he spoke, he pulled out a pack of Jiuwuzhizun cigarettes.

Zhang Kai waved his hand, refusing, “My name is Zhang Kai, and I don’t smoke!”

“If you don’t, just learn. What man doesn’t smoke?”

Wang Zejing put a cigarette in Zhang Kai’s hand, then offered one to Lin Xian.

“Lin Xian!”

Lin Xian took the cigarette but didn’t light it immediately. Instead, he smiled and sized up Wang Zejing.

Through this short observation, he had roughly understood the other person’s personality.

Good family background, so he had some minor habits of rich people, a bit self-centered, but overall not a bad person.

When Lin Xian took the cigarette, Wang Zejing noticed the watch on his wrist, and his eyes lit up, exclaiming, “Holy cow, Vacheron Constantin Overseas?”

“What? You like this model too?” Lin Xian said with a smile.

“Holy cow, it’s more than just liking it. I’m a die-hard fan of the Overseas series. I begged my dad for a long time, but he wouldn’t buy it for me.”

Wang Zejing looked at the watch with covetous eyes, pleading, “Brother Lin, can I feel it?”

It was clear that Wang Zejing really liked this watch.

“It’s no big deal!”

Lin Xian took off his watch and handed it over casually.

Seeing his rough movements, Wang Zejing’s eyelids twitched, and he said with heartache, “Holy cow, brother, could you be gentler? If this gets scratched, it would be so painful!”

He carefully took the watch, gently playing with it as if it were his lover.

After admiring it for a while, he finally put it on his wrist.

Zhang Kai, seeing his behavior, couldn’t help but ask, “Is this watch very expensive?”

“Of course, it’s over two hundred thousand!” Wang Zejing replied.

Hearing this price, Zhang Kai was stunned.

His family was not well-off. His parents worked in a factory, earning only seven to eight thousand combined each month after working themselves to death.

Now suddenly learning that this watch was worth over two hundred thousand, he was incredibly shocked.

Wang Zejing knew his limits. After wearing it for a while, he took off the watch and returned it to Lin Xian.

However, his attitude towards Lin Xian clearly changed.

His family also had some assets, not to mention more, but at least tens of millions.

Yet, even so, his father only wore a Submariner.

Lin Xian, on the other hand, wore a Vacheron Constantin worth over two hundred thousand, and from his expression just now, he didn’t seem to care about the watch at all.

This indicated that the other party’s family had assets of at least over a hundred million, with a large amount of liquid capital.

Wang Zejing’s family was in business, and being immersed in that environment, he naturally understood how to conduct himself.

Moreover, his father often taught him a saying: learn to expand your network.

Taking the initiative to light Lin Xian’s cigarette, Wang Zejing asked, “Where are you from, Brother Lin?”

“Jiangzhen City. From your accent, are you a local of Jinling?”

“My home is in Jiangning.”

Wang Zejing nodded, then looked at Zhang Kai and asked, “What about you, Zhang Kai?”

“My hometown is in Lu Province.”

Zhang Kai was smoking for the first time. He took a puff, imitating the two of them, and immediately started coughing.

Seeing his pained expression, Wang Zejing patted his back and smiled, “It’s okay, everyone’s like this the first time they smoke. You’ll get used to it.”

The three sat on the living room sofa, chatting idly, and soon became familiar with each other.

As time passed, three more people entered the dorm.

One was named Wang Meng, a fellow townsman of Zhang Kai.

Unlike Zhang Kai’s slender build, Wang Meng was tall and burly, a standard big man from Liang Province.

But what was both amusing and exasperating was that Wang Meng’s personality was completely opposite to his appearance. He spoke softly and behaved effeminately, making Lin Xian and the other two feel a chill.

While he was making his bed, Wang Zejing raised an eyebrow and said, “Could this guy be gay?”

“Even if he is, it’s fine. He’s not sharing a small room with me anyway,” Lin Xian said with a smile.

The other two were Lei Hongguang, from Rongcheng, and Sun Jiacheng, from a neighboring province.

These two, along with Wang Zejing and Wang Meng, shared one small room, while Lin Xian and Zhang Kai shared the other small room.

After waiting for a while longer and still no one came, Lin Xian asked doubtfully, “Are only six of us living in our dorm?”

Wang Zejing asked in surprise, “Brother Lin, didn’t you know? There are only six boys in our class, which is why we were assigned to this two-room dorm.”

“Only six boys? How many people are in our class?” Lin Xian was stunned.

“Thirty-two!”

Holy cow, thirty-two people in one class, and only six boys.

Jin Cai is indeed terrifyingly powerful!
