On the evening of January 6, when Evan returned to the dormitory, he found that the empty single dormitory No. 112 opposite was already occupied.

It was already past ten o'clock, and the door of room 112 was open, and when Evan opened the door, he looked inside curiously, and the room was unobstructed, and no one was there.

Just when Evan was curious, a young man in a gray suit, with a partial head, a height of more than one meter eight, and a small kettle in his hand, walked to the door of room 112.

The door to Room 111 had opened, and Evan held his hand on the doorknob, keeping his head in a posture and glancing at the young man.

The young man probably wanted to go back to the room, but when he saw Evan, he changed his mind, he smiled lightly, changed the kettle to another hand, stretched out his right hand towards Evan, and said, "Hi, my name is Rick, Rick Taft, and I just became a 'Moles' today." ”

Evan turned around and held out his hand as well, introducing himself, "My name is Evan, Evan Warren. ”

"Welcome to BlackerHouse. ”

Rick said, "I'm majoring in math, what about you?"

Evan replied: "Physics. ”

"It turned out to be a department, it's really fate, do you want to come in and talk?" Rick raised the kettle, pointed to his room, and said, "I just wanted to make a hot cup of tea." ”

Evan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, drink tea now, I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

"That's ...... Then forget it!"

Just when Evan thought that the other party would end the conversation and go back to his room, Rick said, "Can I visit your room, to be honest, I'm a little curious!"

Evan gave him a strange look and asked, "It's all dormitories, even if there is a difference, it's not that big, what's so curious about this?"

Rick was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "Evan, I forgot to tell you, I'm a transfer student, just transferred from Yale University, third year. ”

It dawned on Evan that it was no wonder he had never seen this Rick.

Since he was a transfer student, Evan couldn't refuse again, so he turned around and pushed the door, showing his room in full form, and said, "As you can see, Rick, except for the scenery outside the window, everything else is basically exactly the same as your room." ”

Rick gave a quick glance and said, "It's disappointing, I thought it would be different? ”

"Evan, it's a pleasure to meet you, we'll be friends in the future. Seeing that you seem to want to rest, I won't bother, see you tomorrow!"

Evan nodded at Rick and replied, "Me too, Rick." ”

After saying that, and waving his hand, Evan walked into the dormitory.

Before Evan closes, Rick says, "Evan, I bet you didn't mean what you just said!"

Evan closed the door without saying a word.

After lying on the bed, Evan muttered, "Transferring from Yale University to Caltech, one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast, this Rick doesn't know what to think?"

"Taft...... Where do you think you've heard of this surname?"

“…… Well...... Not that coincidental, right?"

……

The next day, just after six o'clock, Evan, who had developed a habit, opened his eyes on time.

Overcoming the temptation of a warm bed, Evan jumped out of bed, got dressed, grabbed a towel and toiletries, and prepared to go to the public water room.

When he opened the door, the cold air from outside poured into the room, and a cold hair stood on Evan's body in an instant.

Evan took a step outside and closed the door.

Just then, the door to Room 112 opened.

Rick is also dressed up to wash up.

It so happened that both of them were stunned for a moment.

Rick reacted first and greeted with a smile: "Good morning, Evan!"

Feeling the cold outside, Rick's body shivered involuntarily, he said: "I thought the West Coast would be warmer, but I didn't expect it to be as cold as New Haven." ”

"Good morning, Rick!" Evan responded, "It's been a little colder this year. ”

The two naturally walked together.

On the way, Rick asked, "I forgot to ask yesterday, what grade are you, Evan?"

Evan replied, "First grade." ”

"Freshman...... So how do you stay in a single room?"

Rick asked casually, in order to make friends, everyone generally prefers a multi-person room.

Unless there is some special reason for this person.

Evan replied casually, "I like to be quiet!"

Rick shut up and stopped talking.

After washing, it's time for breakfast.

While eating in the public dining room, Evan and Werner share a table, and a long-lost face suddenly appears in front of Evan in the middle of the meal.

It was Edward Rogers, who went to the University of California, Berkeley for a semester on exchange.

"Hi Evan, long time no see. ”

Rogers had a big smile on his face.

When he saw Rogers, Evan was immediately reminded of a bad memory. He put down the hot dog in his hand, glanced at Rogers, and replied with a smile, "Rogers, long time no see...... Well...... Looks a lot stronger......"

"Bang!" said Evan punching Rogers in the stomach, not too heavy, but not light.

Rogers covered his stomach and frowned and complained, "Evan, even if you welcome me, you don't have to be so enthusiastic that you put your fists on it." ”

He thought that Evan was welcoming him in a special way, but he didn't know that Evan was just venting his anger.

Rogers rubbed his stomach and sat down next to Evan. He'd already eaten, and he came over to catch up with Evan when he met him.

Werner finished eating first, and he saw that Rogers seemed to have something to talk to Evan alone, so he left first.

That's when Rogers asked what he really cared about: "Evan, where is the Band-Aid?"

"We are still applying for FDA approval. ”

Rogers looked around and whispered, "I've been approached by someone to ask about Band-Aids...... I didn't say it!"

After a pause, he asked, "Is someone playing with its idea?"

Evan nodded, and after drinking the milk in one gulp, he said, "It should be Johnson & Johnson's people." ”

Rogers opened his mouth in surprise.

Evan glanced at Rogers and said, "This has nothing to do with you, you just need to fulfill your duty of confidentiality." ”

He cleaned up the mess and prepared to get up and leave, "By the way, Rogers, if you still want to intern at ACAH, just let me know." ”

Evan and Rick seem to be very fateful, and on the way to class, the two meet again.

This time, Rick just smiled at Evan and didn't come up to talk.

Over the next few days, as the number of meetings increased, Rick quickly became acquainted with Evan.

About a week later, Rick invited Evan to his dorm room for a cup of tea.

This time, Evan agreed.

When Evan walked into room 112, Rick immediately closed the door. Evan watched as Rick took out two transparent high-legged "cups" like a thief and poured red alcoholic beverages into them, with a smile on his face.

Rick picked up one of his own and handed the other to Evan.

"Dang!"

Rick and Evan clinked glasses and laughed, "Do you know why I came to Los Angeles from New Haven, just to drink but no one cares?" ”

"My family is in charge of me in this regard, and it doesn't mean anything at all. ”

"Is this going to happen to your family? ”
