The story becomes more touching in this one; I will be extremely disappointed if this set parallel line cannot be crossed in their life in the future.Your writing makes me feel that I myself’s university life was re-alive: four bunker beds, ranking in the dorm, Friendly-Dorm, and those food stamps.
I like your writing more and more, this time I am eagerly waiting for the next one.
Thank you for presenting / sharing such wonderful writing with us here, a special treat that I get today.

r u Eric? ;) good and smooth writing...a couple of mistakes, which are common among Chinese writers:
'image' (imaging) should be 'imagine' (imagining).
there were girls came... should be 'there were girls who came...' or 'there were girls coming...'

Yes. I was trying to mess with you a while ago, but I didn’t think you had recognized who/whom I was. Sorry for keeping you in the dark, but it was fun. Ha ha...1) I prefer image to imagine, to put up a mental image. Similarly, I like to use “near” as verb, but most Chinese are comfortable with “to be near” or “to get near”.
Image: Verb. to picture or represent in the mind; imagine; conceive.
2) Yes, a “who” is not optional in written English, although I leave it out in sentences in spoken English.

Qi qing’s songs, bunker beds, friendly-dorm, food stamps… you must be one of those boys finding themselves an unnoticeable spot and giving ranks to girls walking their way to the library or classrooms.well, from 1 to 10, what’s the number you’d rank Xie? :)

I did not rate girls then, but I do it now. I am using superlatives on all women and I am never wrong. This is what I say: “You are the most beautiful/considerate/wonderful/interesting or smartest… woman I have ever seen!”Based on my novel, Xie is 10.

This is the 1st time that I know "friendly-Dorm" was for dating. In universtiy years, I thought it was for friendship. If the dating really happened, that was side-effect.:-)

No side effect happened either according to my personal experience, just for fun and more helpful behaviors towards each other.
