Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
"Snap—!"
The door was opened.
A girl wearing black glasses opened the door.
Seeing the people at the door, she asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Su Yan quickly said, "Hello, my name is Su Yan. I just registered at school today and was assigned to this dormitory. These two are my brothers, and they came with me."
"Oh, I see. Come on in then." The girl made way for me. "I'm the only one in the dorm right now. My two roommates have gone to class, and they don't get off for another ten minutes."
Su Yan responded, but before going in, she hesitated and asked, "Is it convenient for my brother and the others to come in?"
The girl paused for a moment, glanced at the tall and handsome Su Yu and Xie Jin, and said with a blush, "If it's convenient, please come in."
"Thank you, classmate." Su Yu said, then carried his luggage inside.
The dormitory is a four-person room, with bunk beds and desks underneath.
The spot on the left as you enter is already occupied; only the spot on the right, near the balcony, is empty.
Xie Jin asked in confusion, "Why do I see that other dormitories have eight people per room?"
This dormitory is far superior to the others.
Even the walls were plastered with white putty, and the floor was tiled.
Su Yu looked it over and said, "It looks like it's been renovated."
The girl explained somewhat awkwardly, "One of my roommates... she has OCD, and before the start of the semester, she hired someone to renovate our dorm and replaced everything in it."
Su Yan: "..."
Xie Jin and Su Yu: ...They have quite a few problems.
The three of them didn't say anything and started making the bed.
However, Su Yu and Xie Jin didn't let Su Yan do anything the whole time, and kept her sitting on the side.
This made the girl very envious, and she whispered to Su Yan, "Your two brothers are so good to you."
Su Yan smiled and said, "But it doesn't stop us from arguing sometimes. By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Chen Ting, I'm from Heilongjiang Province, and I'm 19 years old." Chen Ting said, "The people in my dorm are not in the same major. I'm studying Western medicine, and my two roommates are studying medical laboratory science. What about you?"
"I studied a combination of Chinese and Western learning methods. I'm from Lanzhou Province and I'm 18 this year."
Chen Ting nodded and continued, "The roommates from the medical laboratory science program will be back soon. The tall, fair-skinned one is the one who renovated our dorm. Her name is Deng Ziyi, and she's from Beijing. Her family is quite well-off. The other one is Bai Meng, a local from Guangzhou. She has darker skin. Deng Ziyi is a bit spoiled, while Bai Meng is rather aloof."
Su Yan turned her head to look at her and, finding that Chen Ting didn't mean anything by it, said, "Thank you for telling me all this."
"You're welcome. I just wanted to prepare you mentally," Chen Ting said.
Su Yan seems to be quite well-off, and she must be pampered at home. Deng Ziyi has many minor quirks, so she's a little worried that Su Yan won't be able to handle it.
Ten minutes later.
"I've finished packing, Ayan." Su Yu came in from the balcony after washing his hands and said, "The daily necessities are in the bucket, which I put on the balcony. What do you think of the other box of things? Do you want me to put it there for you?"
Su Yan shook her head. "Let's leave it here for now and deal with it later."
Chen Ting exclaimed in surprise, "How did you finish cleaning up so quickly? That's incredible speed!"
She didn't have as many things as Su Yan, but it took her two or three hours to finish packing.
"My brother is in the army, so he's faster."
Just as Su Yan finished speaking, her other two roommates returned.
"I want to eat this afternoon...wait, why is the door open? Who are you?"
Everyone inside looked out.
The speaker was tall and had fair skin; she must be Deng Ziyi, whom Chen Ting had mentioned. Standing next to her was Bai Meng, who had a tanned complexion and a blank expression.
"My God! This is the girls' dormitory, how did you two guys get in?" Deng Ziyi pointed at Su Yu and Xie Jin in shock, as if looking at some monsters.
Xie Jin's face immediately darkened.
He found the woman's constant chatter incredibly annoying.
Chen Ting realized what was happening and quickly explained, "Ziyi, we have a new roommate. These two are her brothers. Don't make a fuss."
Su Yan stepped forward and extended her hand to Deng Ziyi. "Hello, my name is Su Yan, and I'm your new roommate."
The weather in Guangzhou was much hotter than in Beijing. Su Yan was wearing a light yellow short-sleeved dress that reached just above her ankles, with a thin white cardigan over it and white sneakers. Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, making her look gentle and radiant. Since waking up, she had a sickly air about her, and her slight smile was somewhat mesmerizing.
Deng Ziyi stared at her blankly, then subconsciously extended his hand. "Hello, my name is Deng Ziyi."
Su Yan shifted her gaze to Bai Meng beside her and smiled as she reached out her hand to her.
Bai Meng felt a little uncomfortable in the face of her bright smile, and awkwardly squeezed her hand, "Bai Meng."
Deng Ziyi wore a pink dress, pearl earrings, and small leather shoes, carrying a bag in her hand, exuding the label of "I'm so spoiled".
On the contrary, the name Bai Meng doesn't quite match her appearance.
She was dressed in black, simple and neat, and had a tomboyish short haircut.
Su Yan said, "I just started my job today, and I'll need your help in the future."
Su Yu coughed lightly and said, "You guys probably haven't had lunch yet, right? We're going out to eat anyway, why don't we go together?"
"No need, no need, that would be too much trouble. You guys go ahead and eat." Chen Ting waved her hand, flattered.
"It's alright, let's go together. It'll be a good opportunity for me to get to know everyone better," Su Yan said.
And so, the three roommates went out with Su Yan and the others without really understanding what was going on.
...
Xie Jin's car could still seat five people if squeezed in.
As the car drove away from the school, Deng Ziyi couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Su Yan, where are we going to eat?"
Xie Jin said calmly, "Let's eat at Fenghua Mansion."
Deng Ziyi, Bai Meng, and Chen Ting were all taken aback.
The prices at Shifeng Huafu start at three figures, and that's just the most basic price.
Deng Ziyi visited Guangzhou once; the food was delicious, but it was too expensive.
She wasn't allowed to spend her monthly allowance there frequently.
Keep in mind that the average wage for workers in Guangzhou is only a few dozen yuan.
"Won't this be too much of a burden for you?" Deng Ziyi asked.
Xie Jin raised an eyebrow, "My junior sister hasn't been there before, and it's not entirely about taking you guys there."
Su Yan: ...Senior Brother, sometimes you don't need to be so blunt when you speak.
As expected.
Her three roommates looked embarrassed.
She could only helplessly clean up Xie Jin's mess, saying, "My senior brother is a straightforward person. He meant no harm. Just take it as a joke and don't take it to heart."
Xie Jin glanced at Su Yan in the rearview mirror.
Su Yan immediately glared back at him.
Xie Jin's lips twitched.
Okay, he's a joke.
