Needless to say, when Zhu Wei was in the college, Ma Wencai had a dormitory room all to himself. Later, Zhu Wei dropped out of school because of fighting, so the college naturally rearranged the dormitories.

If Dong Zhixin hadn't come to the college, Ma Wencai would still be living alone in his dorm room. But because Dong Zhixin arrived and the dorm arrangements changed, Ma Wencai's carefree days of living alone were over. How could Ma Wencai not feel resentful?

"Young...Young Master, why don't we go back to the Zhu family?" Xiao Cui said somewhat anxiously, "We've only just arrived and we're already being targeted. How are we going to get by from now on?"

Dong Zhixin patted the pastry crumbs off his hand and said, "So you're scared and want to back down? On what grounds?"

Dong Zhixin stood up, tilted his head slightly, and said stubbornly, "Back in Jiankang, did I endure it? Did I back down? What did I get in the end? Who sympathized with you? Who pitied you? All I got was a joke!"

“My Dong family may not be as good as the Wang and Qian families, but in Wu County, do we not even have the ability to fight with others?” Dong Zhixin turned his back to Xiao Cui and continued, “If I back down now, my Dong family will not only be a laughing stock among the Jiankang aristocratic families, but also in Wu County… every aristocratic family will only regard the Jiankang Dong family as a joke!”

Dong Zhixin sighed softly and said, "By then, not only will the eldest daughter of the Dong family not be able to find a good family to marry into in Jiankang, but she won't be able to find one in Wu County either. What can we do then?"

Xiao Cui shook her head slightly and said nothing more. After all, she was Dong Zhixin's personal maid and would be Dong Zhixin's dowry maid in the future, so naturally she hoped that Dong Zhixin could marry well.

Moreover, Xiao Cui also felt that Dong Zhixin's words made sense. After all, Wu County was not Jiankang. How could the sons of noble families in the capital be reduced to fleeing like stray dogs in a small Wu County? It seems that her young lady has matured a lot after experiencing the annulment of the engagement.

"Young Master, would you like to go back to your room to rest?"

"Rest? You think you can just rest when you get back to your dorm?" Dong Zhixin scoffed. "The young master isn't used to sharing a bed with someone!"

"Young Master, why don't we just forget about it and go back to the Zhu family?" Xiao Cui was also not quite able to accept the fact that her young lady was sharing a bed with a strange man.

So what if Miss Zhu is crazy? My young lady is from a prestigious family in the capital, how could I possibly go crazy like her? But as a servant, I can't really say anything. I just hope my young lady will back down.

"Your personality is really not as good as Yin Xin's." Dong Zhixin couldn't help but shake his head.

"Young...Young Master!" Xiao Cui was so angry that she almost called him "Miss" instead, and quickly corrected herself.

Xiao Cui held a certain amount of contempt for the wild girl Zhu Yingtai, let alone Yin Xin, whose personality resembled Zhu Yingtai's. For her young mistress to say that she was inferior to Yin Xin was utterly disingenuous.

"Alright, I didn't say Yin Xin was good. Just change your tendency to back down when things happen, understand?" Dong Zhixin sneered. "I'm not used to sharing a bed with someone, and it's not just Ma Wencai. I'm not used to it either!"

Dong Zhixin originally didn't intend to follow the example of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, who placed three bowls of water in the center of their bed to share a pillow.

"Let's go find the headmaster." Dong Zhixin thought for a moment, stood up, and waved to Xiao Cui.

In fact, the purpose of two students sharing a dormitory in the academy was to cultivate friendships among them. However, most of the students in the academy were from aristocratic families, and how many of them could really get used to sharing a bed with someone?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if, besides sharing a room, I could have my own bed all to myself?

Think about the dorm rooms in modern schools, where ten people share a room. How warm and friendly the friendships are!

Just as Dong Zhixin was about to go find the headmaster, he suddenly stopped and turned to Xiao Cui, saying, "Let's go back to the dormitory first."

"Huh?" Xiao Cui, who had no idea what her young lady was trying to do, looked at Dong Zhixin with a blank expression and stood there without moving.

Dong Zhixin didn't know the way himself, so he patted Xiao Cui on the shoulder and said, "Lead the way."

"Oh, okay, okay." Xiao Cui, who had trouble recognizing faces, turned around and led her mistress towards the dormitory.

All the students lived in the same courtyard, which made it convenient for the teachers to patrol at night.

Dong Zhixin changed his mind because he was concerned about the lighting in ancient rooms. He thought that if he didn't actually investigate the situation, the headmaster might not adopt his proposed solution.

Of course, this is only one point. Secondly, if the suggestion was put forward by Dong Zhixin, the headmaster might not have adopted it. However, if it was put forward by Dong Zhixin and Ma Wencai together, the headmaster would be much more likely to adopt it.

"Young...Young Master, this is the room." Xiao Cui said, preparing to open the door, but Dong Zhixin stopped her.

As Dong Zhixin looked at the half-open door, a series of pranks from TV dramas flashed through his mind.

Dong Zhixin smiled indifferently and kicked the door open.

The door was kicked open with a "bang," but no pranks were played.

Dong Zhixin wasn't embarrassed at all. He straightened his coat and stepped over the threshold to go inside.

Ma Wencai, who was sitting at the table with his head propped up, squinted and said with a half-smile, "Brother Dong, how impressive."

Dong Zhixin brushed a stray hair behind his ear, hissed, and sat down opposite Ma Wencai. He smiled and said, "Isn't this just to give my new roommate a hard time? I learned all this from Brother Ma. But... I didn't expect my roommate to be Brother Ma."

Ma Wencai chuckled and said, "Didn't expect that? I thought Brother Dong was deliberately targeting me."

Dong Zhixin held up two fingers and laughed, "I can't predict the future, so how could I be deliberately targeting Brother Ma?"

Before Ma Wencai could say anything, Dong Zhixin quickly interjected, "Sigh, I only heard about it from Xiao Cui. I never expected Wujun Academy to be like this..."

Dong Zhixin slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and walked around the dormitory, shaking his head and clicking his tongue as he did so.

Dong Zhixin appeared nonchalant, but he was actually secretly observing everything in the room.

Ma Wencai raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased, and said, "What? Is my Wu County Academy so unworthy of Brother Dong's attention?"

"Tsk t ...

"What? Is the capital really so generous as to provide students with single rooms?" Ma Wencai sneered, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Single dorm rooms aren't the norm, but single beds are still available." Dong Zhixin sat down opposite Ma Wencai, seemingly unconcerned, and said with a headache, "I'm a terrible sleeper and I'm not used to sharing a bed with others. I've never even slept side-by-side with my own brothers. But..."
