Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera

Ye Ling thought for a moment, took out his phone, and typed out a message.

"To all the upperclassmen, thank you for your concern. I’m Ye Ling. The girl on the left is my girlfriend, Ning Ruoxi. As for the one on the right, she’s a single pringle, @Luo Yue."

Ye Ling posted the message directly into the main freshman group chat, then slipped his phone into his pocket.

At first, he had actually thought about contacting the school administration to get the post taken down. But after thinking about it, it didn’t seem like such a bad thing...

’After all, now that everyone recognizes me, won’t that cut down on a lot of unwanted romantic attention in the future?’

Meanwhile, Luo Yue was suddenly baffled when she saw countless friend requests pop up on her phone.

Then, she opened the main freshman group chat and immediately saw the message Ye Ling had sent. Her beautiful eyes widened as she shot him an angry look.

"Master, what do you think you’re doing!?"

"What? As your master, isn’t it my duty to be concerned about my disciple’s lifelong happiness?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Ye Ling said with a matter-of-fact look.

’For the sake of my and Ning Ruoxi’s peaceful university life,’ he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, ’I have no choice but to sacrifice this little lass!’

Seeing the look on Ye Ling’s face, Luo Yue clenched and unclenched her fists!

’This rotten master is just too much!’

"Waaah, Sister Ruoruo, Master is bullying me!"

Luo Yue immediately ran into the living room to tattle on him to Ning Ruoxi.

"I think what Ye Ling did was right."

Ning Ruoxi’s focus at that moment was on the "my girlfriend, Ning Ruoxi" part of the message. She glanced at Luo Yue beside her and spoke.

’Although, I do feel this is a bit unfair to my best friend... but, as the saying goes, what are best friends for if not to mess with!?’

Upon hearing Ning Ruoxi’s words, Luo Yue’s beautiful eyes widened even further. Her gaze filled with disbelief as she clutched her chest and even took a step or two back!

"So, love can just disappear, is that right?"

Luo Yue pouted, a hurt expression on her face.

She looked just like a young wife who had been abandoned.

"No, love doesn’t disappear, it just gets transferred!"

Ye Ling said with a smirk.

Instantly, Luo Yue pouted again, angered by Ye Ling’s words.

’It’s all this rotten Master’s fault for stealing my Ruoruo away!’

"Alright, alright, you can just ignore those people."

Ning Ruoxi said, trying to comfort her while holding back her laughter.

"Hmph!"

Luo Yue angrily hugged a throw pillow and curled up in a small corner of the sofa, sulking by herself.

During the meal that followed, Luo Yue was uncharacteristically absent-minded.

Seeing this, Ye Ling couldn’t help but scratch his head. ’Did I go a little too far this time?’

"Alright, we’re in the same department anyway. If anyone harasses you, I’ll help you chase them away, okay?"

Ye Ling said helplessly.

"Master is a big meanie!"

Luo Yue said, extremely displeased.

In reality, however, most of the people in the main freshman group chat were just all talk. They knew their own limits; with Luo Yue’s looks, it was unlikely she would ever give them the time of day.

So, many of them set their sights on other freshmen, male and female, who seemed more average.

As for Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi, the students of Modu University just silently accepted this public display of affection!

...

After dinner, Ye Ling added the academic advisor through the department’s group chat.

The advisor was a man in his forties or fifties named Duan Lingfei.

The man’s Penguin account avatar was still the default penguin, which led Ye Ling to guess that he was probably a rather old-fashioned person.

Duan Lingfei quickly sent Ye Ling some information for new students, as well as the schedule for after the school year started.

According to him, military training would start the day after registration—tomorrow, that is. For the seven days of military training, even commuting students would be required to live on campus.

Boarding students didn’t have to worry about this, as they had already been assigned rooms and moved in today. But since Ye Ling had applied to be a commuting student, a temporary dorm was arranged for him.

Then, Duan Lingfei sent him a group chat called ’3222 Demon Lords of Chaos’. Apparently, this was the group chat for Ye Ling’s assigned dorm.

Ye Ling casually joined and was immediately met with a warm welcome.

[He Jian: Welcome, bro!]

[Yang Yu: Is this our fourth brother?]

[Yang Yefeng: Hahaha, welcome, welcome. @Ye Ling, bro, why aren’t you living in the dorm? After military training, there’ll only be the three of us left in the room~]

Ye Ling saw that his new roommates were all quite enthusiastic, and he couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.

’After all, running into some disgusting roommates would really ruin my mood, even if I’m only staying for a week...’

[Ye Ling: Bros, sorry about that. It’s mainly because I’m living off-campus with my girlfriend, so I registered as a commuter. I’ll treat you all to a meal later!]

[He Jian: Damn, it’s over. We’ve got a traitor in our dorm!]

[Yang Yu: I can’t believe I’m getting a face full of PDA even in the dorm chat. I’m so jealous, bro~]

[Yang Yefeng: Remember to come early tomorrow. We have to assemble at ten.]

[Ye Ling: Thanks for the reminder, bro!]

After replying, Ye Ling put his phone down and decided to prepare the things he’d need for military training tomorrow.

However, when he opened his suitcase, he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

"This girl..."

Ye Ling saw that everything in the suitcase was arranged neatly and couldn’t help but smile.

Obviously, Ning Ruoxi had packed it for him!

From big things like all his clothes, down to small things like face wash and a razor... Ning Ruoxi had carefully packed everything for him, just like a young wife preparing a bag for her husband who was about to go on a long journey.

"Having a wife feels pretty great."

Ye Ling sighed in contentment, a touch of emotion appearing in his eyes.

He felt that meeting Ning Ruoxi was truly one of the greatest fortunes of his life.

An idea suddenly struck Ye Ling. A mischievous smile touched his lips as he stealthily slipped into the room next door.

Ning Ruoxi had gone to bed quite early tonight, probably because she was tired, or maybe she wanted to conserve her energy for tomorrow...

Ye Ling looked at the little darling who was already fast asleep, pulled back a corner of her blanket, and quietly slipped inside.

Ning Ruoxi, half-asleep and drowsy, only sensed a soft, incredibly warm body suddenly appear next to her. She subconsciously turned over and hugged Ye Ling.

Ye Ling felt the little darling snuggle into his arms, and a look of pure contentment spread across his face.

Mm.

’I’m not being a pervert. Isn’t it perfectly natural to climb into my own wife’s bed!?’
