As an average junior, Rainkey He’s post-pandemic life may not have been as active as everyone thought. Just as he said, although the dull day is not light, every day is the same may be a kind of surprise in life. He wakes up around 8 a.m. and the first thing he does is brush his teeth, which he thinks will wake him up so he doesn’t drift through the day.

After that, he would go downstairs and make breakfast. Because he spent his freshman and sophomore years living on campus and so close to the dining room, he hardly learned how to cook properly. Therefore, he often joked that he was not worthy to be a Chinese, after all, Chinese food is ever-changing.

In fact, everyone has his own energy source, perhaps it is a greeting from his family, a kiss from his lover, or the joy when his friends meet, but for He, his energy source is very different. Last year, a Chinese entertainment company set up a girl group of five girls, but the group was virtual, in which actors dressed in motion capture costumes acted as on-screen anime characters. Although He can’t see the real face of these girls, their daily live broadcast is enough to attract him. “Watching them talk, dance, sing, and play games have become my daily routine, not only for my own entertainment but also to witness their growth.” He says.

He needs to take five major courses this semester for his major, so every time he has a long class on campus. However, his time back is not so monotonous, because he finally meets his roommate. Although they are roommates, everyone has very different schedules, but this does not affect their friendly relationship.

As mentioned earlier, he can’t cook, so ordering take-out is a great option. He and his roommate order two Chinese set meals. Although the taste is not as delicious as in China, being late for the food at home in a foreign country is also a joy. However, this joy needed to be with mobile phones.

When the roommates finally get together after dinner, card games are the perfect way to interact.” Playing cards is not just about socializing, it’s about brains and luck, and I love the competition. “He says. After playing cards together, it’s late. It’s bedtime, but He likes to look at his phone for a long time before going to bed.” I know it’s not a great routine, but I want to end my day by listening to some soothing music and processing some news from my friends before bed. “He says.
