Room mates

Lan Du walked out the area and a smile crept onto her face.She held her hand up and covered the sun that was shining in her eyes as she smiled brightly to herself.

"I should break people's arms more often, it is so therapeutic and relaxing when I do so"she said gently

If anyone else heard what she had said, they would run away immediately and even try to report her as what she had just said is not something a twelve year old should say.

Lan Du headed towards the boys dorm, since she was relatively new to the campus, she didn't know too much about the locations so she previously had a female student point her in the direction.She was given a piece of paper by the instructors as to which floor her dorm is and which room number.

Unfortunately for her, the dorms are separated by gender, so she had to share the dorm room with three guys.

When she arrived in front of the dorm, she gazed up to see it to be dozens of meters tall.There were over a dozen floors and each floor had at least fifty rooms.

She went up the elevator and stopped at floor 9 and went to find her room.She arrived in front of room 444 and stood in front of it.

"So unlucky, to think my room number is so ominous"she mumbled as she walked into the room.The room was around 4 square metre with two bunk beds.It wasn't small to be called cramped but it wasn't big enough to do much.

There was also rubbish everywhere on the floor with three people chatting to each other from the bottom beds.One was a short chubby boy, the one next to him was a young man with a strong build and a slightly dark skin tone.The one on the other side was skinny but tall figure.

When she stepped through the door, the three stopped talking and turned to her.

"you must be the new student, I am Fei Ju, you can call me fatty"said the chubby one.

The skinny one waved his hand and introduced himself.

"I am Ling Shou, you can call me monkey"he said with a big smile

The last one had a sharp gaze but he said embarrassingly

"I am Tie Wang, you can call me gorilla"he said shyly

The other three began laughing when they saw him all embarrassed.Lan Du smiled and said:

"I'm Lan Du, pleased to meet you"She said with a warm smile

The three smiled, fatty walked up and reached out his hand.

"We welcome you to dorm 444"he said

Lan Du reached out her hand and clasped it while replying

"I thank you"She then held back her hand wand placed her bags on the empty upper bunk.

Fatty stared at his hand and turned to Lan Du

"Lan Du, when I take a closer look at you, your skin is whiter than a girl's, and your hand was quite soft, tell me, are you actually homo?"he asked

Lan Du laughed and replied

"I may not be gay but I can still charm a guy, fatty, why did you ask?Don't tell me you're actually..."She let out a shocked expression and fatty realised what she meant.

He waved his hand side to side and shouted

"no no no, don't give me that look, I'm as straight as a steel beam!"he said

The other two laughed at his reaction, they felt Lan Du fit in just fine.

Lan Du checked her bed after that, the bed was clean as no one touched the upper bunk.Lan Du took out some belongings, bottles of water and some snacks.She threw some over to the other three and said.

"Since we just met, we should get to know each other more"she said as she sat on the top bunk and leaned on the wall behind her.

The other three nodded and began munching.

"to tell the truth, I heard some amazing news today"fatty suddenly said

The others perked up their ears and eyes full of curiosity

"What is it?"they asked

Fatty smiled and said

"I heard that Sheng Cang had his arm broken by someone today, I don't know who did it but I laughed so hard when I heard it, that bastard had it coming"laughed fatty

The other two laughed as well

"I hated that fellow since I met him, he always flaunts his status around as if he was a king, hearing him get his arm broken is great!"Laughed monkey

They turned to Lan Du

"Lan Du, why aren't you reacting, you might be new but you should know him, right?"they asked

Lan Du smiled and said

"I do know him, in fact, we are on the same team for our chosen path"she said lightly

The other three's face changed when they heard her

"You must change teams man!"Shouted Tie Wang

"That guy will do anything to get what he wants, even throwing a team mate under the bus!You don't know when he would betray you!"said Ling Shou

Lan Du placed a finger over her mouth, signifying them to stop talking

"You don't need to worry, Sheng Cang is like a therapeutic item for me"she said casually

The three was confused in what she meant, why was Sheng Cang a therapeutic item to her?

"Lan Du, this isn't a joke, that guy is crazy"said fatty anxiously

Lan Du laughed

"Indeed he's crazy, he's crazy enough to want to kill me right now"

The three of them paused

"Don't tell me you offended him somehow"

They were getting more and more anxious by the second.They found Lan Du to be very approachable and kind so they didn't want him to get hurt.

Lan Du gave them a smile

"Not only did I offend him, I also broke his arm"She began laughing to herself

Shock!

They didn't expect it to be Lan Du to be the one who broke Sheng Cang's arm.They began to worry for her safety, although they just met, they treat her like a friend so they didn't want anything to happen to her.

"Relax, nothing will happen to me, in the academy, I'd be surprised if he could do anything to me with his family background"she said calmly

The three decided to calm themselves, if Lan Du was so calm, she must have a reason.

"Alright, but be careful, his brother is Sheng Hui, one of the top ten of the main army recruits"

Lan Du found them to be tolerable, although she hated men, she didn't indiscriminately reject all the guys.But she has closed her heart when it comes to love.She would reject all men until she has achieved her goal.

"mn, you guys don't need to worry, by the way, is there a shower in the dorm?"she asked

Fatty nodded and pointed at the door next to the entrance.

"That one is the shower, are you going to take one?"asked fatty

Lan Du nodded and said

"It has been quite a long day, there is a lock right?"she asked again

Fatty scratched the side of his face and said

"There is, but we're all guys, is there a need to lock?"

Lan Du gave him a playful smile

"I see, so you are gay, actually asking me not to lock the door, you want to..."she didn't need to finish for fatty to know what she meant.

Fatty stomped his feet in anger

"I'm not gay, you're gay, your whole family is gay!"he shouted

Lan Du laughed out loud when she saw his expression.

"If only I could say that to my father, fatty, I don't mind if you bad mouth my father but do keep my mother out, I broke Sheng Cang's arm, I don't mind doing it you too"she said as she grabbed a change of cloths and went into the showers.

Fatty shivered and the other two gave him a 'You had it coming' look as they shook their heads at him.

"Why did he say its okay to bad mouth his father though?"asked Tie Wang

The other two shook their head

"Maybe a family issue?"suggested Ling Shou

"Probably, maybe the father cheated?"said fatty

"I mean, these days, woman has so much less power, I feel bad for them, luckily, my father isn't like the others and takes care of mother"said fatty

The other two nodded in agreement.

"Then maybe Lan Du'e father..."

The three of them decided not to talk about it in front of Lan Du as it might upset her.

"But damn, his parent's genetics must mix well as hell, his devilish looks is probably attracting all sorts of girls"said fatty with a depressed look

Monkey nodded

"He is almost as handsome as me"he said shamelessly

Tie Shan reached his hand out and smacked monkey at the back of his head

"Don't get too cocky, you don't even have half his looks yet you say he is almost as handsome as you, if you're more handsome than him, then I will call you God"he said with a joking smile

Fatty began laughing while Ling Shou began arguing with Tie Shan.Lan Du later stepped out to hear them speaking about something.They didn't notice her step out as they were so into talking.

"If you put a dress on Lan Du, wouldn't he look better than girls?"said Ling Shou

Fatty nodded

"His skin is so fair and smooth, and his hand is also soft, he would probably look better than a girl"he said

Tie Wang smiled and added

"Would you two go after him if he was a girl?"

The two thought fo for a bit then gave him a thumbs up

"We'd dig it"they said in unison

Tie Wang laughed but his smile suddenly paused and began sweating.Fatty and monkey didn't realise and continued to talk.

"Oh, so how about Lan Du breaking the legs of a monkey and a pig?"said a voice from behind them

The two replied without thinking

"That would ruin a beautiful girl's image, how can Lan...Du...ahhhh!"They turned back to see Lan Du smiling coldly towards them while tapping her finger on her arm.

"Do go on, I'd like to hear what you have to say"she said coldly, every word sent chills down them.

"eh, Lan Du is so handsome, how can he be a girl"said fatty awkwardly

Monkey nodded vigorously

"yes yes, he is prettier than a girl, how can he be..."he realised that he just messed up and shut is mouth as Lan Du's gaze grew cold.

"I see, prettier than a girl I see, so how about my previous suggestion"she said as she referred to when she said she would break the legs of a monkey and a pig.

Fatty and monkey hugged each other in fright, they huddled up, fearing what would happen to them under Lan Du's anger.

"i-it wouldn't be good for your image"said fatty as he squeezed out some words

Lan Du then pointed at Tie Wang

"Since it would ruin my image, I might as well throw in the gorilla into the batch"she said slowly

Rumours began spreading that three people died tragically in the dorm but nothing was found in the investigation.But it was said that after three people were heard screaming, the night ended in dead silence.
