Sun Lijun carried a bag of roast duck and strode briskly back to the dorm.
At this moment, all his roommates had entered battle mode, hunched over and staring at their computer screens, playing video games.
It was evening, the time of day when college students are most awake.
It was strange; some people never slept during high school classes and couldn't understand how anyone could get sleepy during lectures. But once they got to college, they would sleep all morning, all through midday, and all afternoon. At night, they were incredibly alert, playing games until after two in the morning before going to sleep. It was quite remarkable.
"Hurry up and eat the roast duck, I just went out and bought it," Sun Lijun called out to his roommates. "It wasn't easy getting this roast duck."
Their dorm housed four people. The other three, who were fully engrossed in gaming, turned their heads the moment they heard the words "roast duck."
"Holy crap? Roast duck?"
"For real?"
