Chapter 437: Chapter 437 - She Looked A Little Familiar

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Hello, my name is Chu Xiaohuan. I’m a local in the capital. Schoolmate, how should I address you?” The girl who opened the door said.

Yan Jinyu nodded slightly. “Yan Jinyu. Nice to meet you.”

Then, she looked at Chu Xiaohuan carefully.

Seeing that she was looking at Huo Siyu, Yan Jinyu said, “This is my friend, Huo Siyu. She’s in her second year in the foreign language school.”

“So you’re a senior. Hello, Senior.”

The girl, who was tidying the bed, also looked up. “H-hi guys. I-I’m Zhao Linlin.” She seemed a little timid.

The blanket she had spread was very new and clean, but it was obvious that it was brought from home. It exuded a very simple aura.

“Hello.” Yan Jinyu smiled at her.

This smile stunned Zhao Linlin.

She had never seen such a beautiful girl before. Of course, the television’s dramas didn’t count. No, she had never seen such a beautiful girl on television either.

She still looked so beautiful when she smiled. She thought that the people in the city, especially in such a big city, were very difficult to get along with.

She suddenly wasn’t so nervous anymore and grinned too.

Her smile… Yes, it was also very simple.

However, it was undoubtedly sincere.

Yan Jinyu could still tell that.

The accommodation conditions of the Imperial Capital University were considered quite good.

Usually, it was a quadruple room. The top was the bed, and the bottom was the desk. There was a closet, an independent washroom, and a balcony. The washroom was quite big and there was a bathtub inside.

The other schools didn’t have that.

“Beauty Yu, let me help you make the bed. Come, come, open the passcode box.” Actually, even if Huo Siyu did not have the passcode, she could open it too.

Yan Jinyu threw her bag to her. “I’ll do it myself.”

“Alright, call me if you need any help.” As she spoke, she moved a stool and sat at the side.

She observed the dormitory while looking at Yan Jinyu.

Yan Jinyu opened the luggage. Huo Siyu saw the pink blanket in her luggage. Even the face towel that she brought was pink. “…”

She tried not to laugh.

No, she still couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Pfft… Hahaha, Beauty Yu, why are you taking the pink maiden route? Don’t tell me your blanket at home is also this color? Oh, no, I saw your luggage when you went to South City previously. Most of your clothes are pink. At that time, I thought that you deliberately prepared it to pretend to be a delicate and hypocritical girl with me. I didn’t expect you to really like pink!”

“I didn’t expect a little princess to live under your valiant appearance. Hahaha…”

Yan Jinyu carried the blanket out and looked up at her with a smile. “Why? Do you have a problem with that?”

Huo Siyu was frightened by her and choked on her saliva. “Cough, cough, cough, cough… No, no, I don’t dare to. Beauty Yu, why can’t you have a maiden’s heart when you’re an 18-year-old girl!”

Beauty Yu’s gaze was still a little scary. Huo Siyu immediately covered her mouth.

Yan Jinyu retracted her gaze and climbed onto the top bed with the blanket. Just as she was about to make the bed, Huo Siyu became serious. “Beauty Yu, actually, it’s quite good for you to be like this now.”

Yan Jinyu’s hands that were tidying the blanket, halted. She didn’t look at Huo Siyu.

Huo Siyu continued, “You make me feel that you’re alive now. I know that with your personality, you wouldn’t have chosen such colored clothes and blanket? Did your Brother Nine prepare these for you?”

Yan Jinyu then looked at her with a smile in her eyes. “Mm-hm.”

Huo Siyu could still tell if her smile had come from the bottom of her heart.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She also smiled. “Beauty Yu, we’re actually quite grateful to your Brother Nine. Without him, we wouldn’t be able to see the current you. You’re much livelier now. You’re 18 years old. You should look like an 18-year-old.”

“Are you lecturing me?” Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Huo Siyu’s expression froze. Forget it, Beauty Yu was someone she could not afford to offend.

Although she knew that Beauty Yu was deliberately scaring her and wouldn’t really do anything to her, she was still inexplicably afraid of Beauty Yu!

“Alright, alright. Beauty Yu, go ahead and do your work. After you’re done, Your big sister, I, will bring you to have a good meal. No matter what, I’ve been at the Imperial Capital University for a year and am very familiar with this place.”

Yan Jinyu smiled faintly, “Big sister?”

“…” Huo Siyu.

“It’s a slip of the tongue. Don’t take it seriously.”

Seeing her blanket again, Huo Siyu couldn’t help but say, “But Beauty Yu, your Brother Nine really treats you like a little princess!”

Yan Jinyu didn’t deny it either. She only said meaningfully, “Same to you.”

“I’m not. I’m not as lucky as you.” Qin Hao was a rugged man. She was the one who brought him along to buy clothes. Although he was the one who paid for them, he had never taken the initiative to buy them for her. He would only give her a card and let her buy whatever she wanted.

Was she someone who lacked that bit of money?

“Beauty Yu, I think life is quite good now…” It was peaceful and calm.

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Jinyu knew what she wanted to say.

She looked at her and said seriously, “Soon.”

Others did not understand what she said, but Huo Siyu did.

She meant that the peaceful days were coming soon.

In other words, Liu Guang’s time was almost up.

“Mm-hm.”

“Um, Senior, is that Brother Nine you were talking about Yan Jinyu’s boyfriend?” As she spoke, Chu Xiaohuan smiled embarrassedly. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to invade your privacy. I just can’t control my gossipy nature.”

“We have just finished high school. The high-intensity studies make me have no time to think about anything else. It almost cost me my life to be able to get into Imperial Capital University. I really envy those people who maintain their grades while dating.”

Actually, she also heard something else.

For example, Huo Siyu said that the current Yan Jinyu was a live Yan Jinyu. It was good to be like this now.

Who would say such words for no reason?

She was definitely curious, but she was smart enough to pretend that she didn’t hear it and didn’t intend to ask further.

“Especially since Schoolmate Yan is so beautiful.”

To be able to enter the Imperial Capital University meant that she was a top student among top students. Yan Jinyu was also so beautiful. It was fine if she was only beautiful, but she actually had a boyfriend who especially doted on her. In summary, he was the “Brother Nine” they were talking about.

Yan Jinyu’s existence was meant to make people envious.

Huo Siyu didn’t answer. Instead, she looked at Yan Jinyu and let her speak.

“He’s not my boyfriend,” Yan Jinyu said.

“Huh?” Chu Xiaohuan was surprised. Even Zhao Linlin, who was about to tidy up the bed, looked up.

“He’s my fiancé.”

She was smiling, but her eyes were extremely serious, so Huo Siyu did not smile.

She naturally couldn’t underestimate what Beauty Yu treated seriously.

“F-Fiancé?” Chu Xiaohuan was a little shocked. If she didn’t hear wrongly just now, this roommate was only 18 years old, right?

Zhao Linlin didn’t say anything, but her expression betrayed her inner thoughts. Obviously, she was also very shocked.

They had just graduated from high school. It was difficult for people like them who were immersed in their studies to have a boyfriend, but Yan Jinyu even had a fiancé!

It was so infuriating!

“Yes, fiancé. It was decided by our family when we were young. However, we haven’t held an engagement ceremony yet.”

A betrothal!

Chu Xiaohuan’s jaw dropped in shock.

What era was it now? There were still people having a betrothal?

“Then, Schoolmate Jinyu, you’re really too lucky. Your family has already decided on a partner for you since you were young. You don’t even have to spend effort to find one yourself. Unlike me, I don’t know when I can find a boyfriend.” Chu Xiaohuan was probably too shocked that she called Yan Jinyu “Schoolmate Jinyu” instead of “Schoolmate Yan Jinyu”.

“You’re so beautiful. You’ll find a boyfriend very quickly,” Yan Jinyu said.

“Hehehe, I’ll thank you for your blessings then. Although I’ve always felt that I’m only so-so, you’ve already praised me for being beautiful when you’re so beautiful. I’m sure I’m really beautiful.”

“…” Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu.

Zhao Linlin glanced at Chu Xiaohuan.

She couldn’t understand Chu Xiaohuan’s logic. Why was she really beautiful when the good-looking people praised her for being beautiful?

She was clearly being narcissistic.

“Senior said that Schoolmate Jinyu went to South City to look for you. Are you from South City?” She didn’t forget what Huo Siyu said just now. Yan Jinyu had prepared so many pink clothes. She thought that Yan Jinyu was pretending to be weak and innocent with her.

It was not good to ask further about this, but she was really gossipy.

Why was she pretending to be weak?

She must have taken the hypocritical route to make the hypocritical girl have no way out!

She was busy with her studies, but her leisure was to read novels. She knew a lot of different novels’ plots and tricks.

“Yes, my family is from South City.”

“What about Schoolmate Jinyu?”

“North City.” Yan Jinyu tidied the bed quickly. She was almost done.

“South City and North City are not close. How do you know each other?”

“Our families have some ties and have known each other since we were young,” Huo Siyu said perfunctorily.

Chu Xiaohuan didn’t have any bad intentions. It wasn’t a big problem for ordinary classmates to understand each other, so Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu didn’t take it to heart.

“By the way, Linlin, what about you? Where do you live?”

They arrived at the dormitory first. They had even gone downstairs to buy things together just now. In addition, Chu Xiaohuan was very talkative, so the two of them were already very familiar with each other.

Zhao Linlin had already tidied up and got down from the top bed.

She pointed at herself. “Me?”

“Yes, you.”

“My family is in Cloud City, but we live in the countryside. We only have two classes in our high school. The place is very small. You probably don’t know the name of the place either.”

“Two classes? You could even get into the Imperial Capital University with only two classes. You’re very formidable!” Chu Xiaohuan was really shocked.

Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu were also a little surprised.

They could tell at a glance that she did not come from a high family background. A person with an honest temperament like her could not be raised in the city.

However, they did not expect her to come from such a small place.

There were only two classes in her high school. It was obviously a small place.

However, they were not surprised that she came from a small place. Her teaching conditions must be very bad in such a place, yet she could still get into a capital institute like the Imperial Capital University. It was obvious that she was formidable.

Such a person was lucky to be born in a small place. If she was born in a big city, she would probably have been targeted by Ghost Slaughter Island in her early years.

Chu Xiaohuan praised her like this, and Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu also looked at her. Zhao Linlin’s face suddenly turned red. “Y-yes, you’re the ones who are really outstanding.”

She studied so hard because she wanted a better way out. Unlike her grandfather, who could only be a barefoot doctor in the village, her goal was to enter a big hospital like the Imperial Capital Hospital to treat and save people!

They were different. They grew up in the city, unlike her, who only had one way out and she still got into the Imperial Capital University. She was really awesome.

If it were her, she might not have studied so hard when she had comfortable conditions.

“Everyone is outstanding. Everyone is outstanding,” Chu Xiaohuan said with a smile. “I’m done. I think you’re almost done too. Why don’t we go for a meal together?”

Huo Siyu continued, “That’s what I was thinking. You’re Beauty Yu’s roommates. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Beauty Yu when you stay in the dormitory in the future. I’m a senior. I’ll treat you all to this meal. Coincidentally, I’m more familiar with the Imperial Capital University than you and know where the food is delicious.”

“Th-this isn’t good, right?” Zhao Linlin said.

Although she did not have much money, she did not want to take advantage of others.

It was fine to treat each other to a meal when they were familiar with each other in the future, but today was their first day in school.

“There’s nothing to argue about it. It’s settled then. If you don’t agree, it means that you don’t like me and you don’t want to help me take care of Beauty Yu in the future.”

The two of them looked good. Although Beauty Yu wouldn’t stay in school often in the future, she might still stay in school occasionally, right?

She didn’t have to have a great relationship with her roommates, but at least she shouldn’t have a lousy one, right?

Beauty Yu would feel better when she lived with them in the future if she had built a good relationship with them in the beginning.

Otherwise, with Beauty Yu’s personality, it was impossible for her to take the initiative to build a good relationship with anyone, unless the other party took the initiative, just like Tan Shiyun.

In reality, Huo Siyu only knew how to talk about Yan Jinyu. Wasn’t she the same too?

She had been in the Imperial Capital University for a year and yet she did not have any close friends.

She was only more lively in front of Yan Jinyu and the other two. If it were anyone else, she would have been polite and distant.

That was how she treated the Huo Family previously.

“No, no, that’s not what I mean. Senior, please don’t misunderstand.” Zhao Linlin came from a small place, she was more timid, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t know how to interact with others. “Then I’ll let you spend money this time. If we have the chance in the future, it will be my turn to treat you.”

Just as they agreed, there was a commotion outside.

The knocking was especially loud. “Is there anyone in the dormitory? If there’s no one, I’ll open the door with the keys!”

Without waiting for a reply, she complained to the person beside her, “Mom, I said I would do it myself, but you insisted on sending me. It’s not like I’ve never been to the Imperial Capital University before. How can I be lost? None of my roommates have parents sending them here. It’s so embarrassing!”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? You’re my precious daughter. What’s wrong with me sending you to school? I look so young and I’ll make you look good. How dare you find me embarrassing!”

“I’m not saying that you’re embarrassing. I’m saying that you made me look like a baby when you sent me here. I’m embarrassed!”

“You’re Mom’s good baby!”

“…”

“…” The few people in the dormitory.

Chu Xiaohuan coughed lightly and said, “I’ll go open the door.”

She was stifling her laughter.

Compared to Chu Xiaohuan, the other three people didn’t have much of a reaction other than being momentarily speechless.

The door opened and the “baby girl” was stunned on the spot when she saw the people in the dormitory.

She stared at Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu.

Or rather, she was staring at Huo Siyu.

Then, she frowned.

Why did she feel that this person looked a little familiar? Had she seen her somewhere before?

Was she her last roommate?

“Hello, my name is Qin Xuan. Are you my last roommate?” She was asking Huo Siyu.

“I’m not. My friend is. I accompanied her here.”

“Oh, I see.” She looked at Yan Jinyu. “Hello, new roommate.”

“Yan Jinyu. Hello.” The first half was a self-introduction.

Qin Xuan nodded, but she was still looking at Huo Siyu. “Schoolmate, have I seen you somewhere before? You look so familiar..”
