Chapter 43 Choose A Club 3
"Time to sleep..." he murmured quietly to himself, turned over, and fell asleep.
The next morning, Ethen Cole woke up to the enticing aroma of porridge wafting through the air. Curious, he pushed open his bedroom door and went into the living room.
At that moment, the chubby Bob Mali was setting the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.
"Hey, you're up! Come and try the porridge I just cooked," the chubby one called out to Ethen Cole.
"Wow, you actually know how to cook?" Ethen Cole exclaimed in surprise.
He had thought that only boys like him from the slums needed to cook for themselves, believing that city kids always had meals prepared for them.
"Of course, I'm a chubby guy who loves labor and life," Bob Mali replied with pride.
Bob Mali, smiling, pulled Ethen Cole to sit down at the dining table. At that moment, there were three bowls of porridge and a small plate of side dishes on the table, accompanied by spoons.
The aroma of the porridge alone was enough to make Ethen Cole swallow his saliva with anticipation.
Although he could cook, his culinary efforts were mostly aimed at simply filling his stomach due to long term impoverished living conditions.
Bob Mali, on the other hand, was evidently different. With just a simple bowl of porridge, he exhibited a chef's skill, making it a gourmet delight.
"Where are the eldest and the third brother?" Ethen Cole asked as he sat at the table.
"The eldest went out to exercise at five in the morning. He should be back soon. The third brother is probably still asleep..." Bob Mali replied, heading back into the kitchen.
"Oh."
Hearing this, Ethen Cole got up immediately and knocked on the third brother's door, intending to invite Hakimi Nil to join them for breakfast.
Hakimi Nil loved to sleep in and usually skipped breakfast, so he was quite displeased when Ethen Cole woke him up.
However, as soon as he sat at the table and caught a whiff of the porridge, all his displeasure transformed into gratitude.
"Ethen Cole, you're truly loyal. If it weren't for you, I would have missed this delicious meal today."
Hakimi Nil winked playfully at Ethen Cole.
"As long as you're not upset."
Ethen Cole chuckled in response. Hakimi Nil was indeed the most lively and free spirited among the four brothers. Being around him, Ethen Cole felt relaxed and at ease.
Just then, the door to dormitory 503 swung open. Fattah Amin returned from his workout. At that moment, Fattah Amin was wearing a light sports outfit that clung to his body due to sweat, fully revealing his muscular physique.
"Truly a perfect man," Ethen Cole thought, admiring Fattah Amin's tall and upright build.
Fresh from his exercise, Fattah Amin was clearly in a good mood. After a quick clean up in the bathroom, he joined the others at the table, ready to taste Bob Mali's culinary creation.
"Let's dig in!" Fattah Amin announced, and the three of them each took a bowl and started to enjoy the porridge.
The moment the porridge touched their lips, they were all taken aback.
"This isn't just porridge; it's like heavenly nectar and ambrosia."
"The texture is smooth, and the aftertaste lingers delightfully."
"Second brother, your cooking skills are truly impressive; this is delicious!"
The three couldn't help but praise the porridge, quickly finishing their large bowls. Seeing how much they enjoyed the porridge he cooked, the chubby one was delighted.
"Second brother, aren't you having any?" Fattah Amin suddenly realized that Bob Mali had been sitting at the table without eating.
"Yeah, second brother, why aren't you drinking this delicious porridge?" Hakim Nil and Ethen Cole were also curious.
Hearing this, the chubby one laughed and said, "I had a bowl when the porridge was first done. I'm just waiting for the second batch now."
Just then, a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.
"It must be ready!" exclaimed Bob Mali, rushing to the kitchen.
Soon, he returned to the table with a full pot of porridge and started drinking directly from it.
Fattah Amin: "..."
Hakimi Nil: "..."
Ethen Cole: "..."
...
After finishing breakfast, the four of them left the dormitory together and headed to the offices of different clubs to participate in the recruitment evaluations.
They first arrived at the Love and Care Club's location. Fattah Amin easily passed the interview and joined the club.
In fact, his presence caused the Love and Care Club to be swarmed by a group of infatuated girls, making it difficult for the four of them to leave.
After much effort, they finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd. This experience made Ethen Cole and the others fully realize the extent of their eldest brother's charm.
Next, the four of them went to the Veterinary Club. This time, it was the chubby one's turn to shine, showcasing his veterinary talents.
His skills were impressive and met the club's standards for membership.
"Student Bob Mali, the Veterinary Club is pleased to welcome you," the club president happily invited the chubby one to join.
With the eldest and second brother successfully joining clubs, the four of them proceeded to the Adventure Club.
However, they found out that the Adventure Club's recruitment event would not start for another half hour.
So, they decided to head to Room 201 of the Student Activity Center to participate in the Campus Protection Club's recruitment evaluation.
Hakim Nil demonstrated the combat abilities of his battle pet, and his excellent performance earned him a spot in the Campus Protection Club.
After Hakim Nil joined, Ethen Cole was the only one left among the four.
"Don't worry, the assessment isn't too hard," Hakim Nil reassured Ethen Cole, speaking from experience.
Fattah Amin and the chubby one also gave Ethen Cole encouraging looks. Just as Ethen Cole was about to respond, a hearty laugh echoed from the entrance of Room 201.
"Student Ethen Cole, you're here quite early," said none other than Senior Anuar Zain.
