Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 560 New Roommate
If the next Emperor turned out to be Gu Ruanruan, then the Luo Family’s status would undoubtedly be extremely high, for they were related to Gu Ruanruan’s maternal family.
But now, the successor is Gu Chen.
Following this revelation, Luo Xixi’s mother stopped talking to her and turned to chat with her cousin, Luo Qi.
Luo Xixi knew that among the girls of the Luo Family, her cousin Luo Qi was the most outstanding, hence the Luo Family now hoped that Luo Qi could marry Gu Chen.
And become the second Empress from the Luo Family.
All this did not change the fact that Luo Xixi really disliked Gu Yan!
Gu Yan also felt the hostility from the other side, and with that head of fiery red hair, she recognized her as Luo Xixi.
Actually, Gu Yan was quite close to her sister-in-law Luo Manya, and her elder sister Luo Jina; they were all family, so at this moment, she was somewhat baffled as to why Luo Xixi disliked her so much.
But she wasn’t the kind of person with an overbearing personality, so she stood aside with her classmates, indeed, they were blocking the way, which wasn’t very nice.
Luo Xixi huffed and walked away, as if she had claimed victory.
As she walked off into the distance, a girl whispered nearby, "Gu Yan, why are you afraid of her? You’re from the Gu Family, and she’s just from the Luo Family."
Gu Yan turned to look at the girl, not recognizing her, but the provocative intention behind the girl’s words was too obvious.
She said, "Don’t you know that the Gu Family and the Luo Family are relatives?"
The girl’s expression faltered.
Gu Yan strode past, determined to figure out why Luo Xixi disliked her herself. She didn’t really care for Luo Xixi either, but this had nothing to do with her relationship with Luo Manya and Luo Jina.
She wasn’t someone with a highly competitive nature, but neither was she foolish.
The subsequent registration went smoothly, though it did surprise the teacher in charge when they heard Gu Yan would be staying in a dormitory.
The person immediately checked the list and then said, "We only have double rooms left in our dormitory, is that okay? Otherwise, I can arrange a single room from another major for you."
"No need, the double room will do."
Gu Yan remembered that when her mother was studying, the dormitory had three-person rooms; now it was two-person rooms, meaning she would only have one roommate.
Gu Yan was actually quite looking forward to meeting her soon-to-be roommate, since after registering her brain-computer information, she headed for the dormitory, and the other girls from different majors and grades dispersed.
Only a few freshmen followed Gu Yan towards the dorms, among them was Molly, who had just tried to sow discord.
Close behind, Molly said softly, "Gu Yan, I didn’t mean anything by it, just that Luo Xixi seems a bit unpleasant. Clearly, you are of a higher status than her, yet you are so approachable, while she acts so arrogantly."
Gu Yan didn’t make a sound, and after Molly spoke a few words, she seemed to find it pointless and the two of them arrived at their adjacent dorm rooms and stopped.
As if she had forgotten the conversation they just had, Molly said cheerfully, "Gu Yan, we’re neighbors! Later on, we can go to classes together."
Gu Yan still smiled politely but didn’t commit to anything, instead, she scanned her brain-computer interface and walked into her own dormitory.
What she did not know was that the moment the dorm door closed behind her, Molly, who had been all smiles, immediately dropped her smile, only disdain remaining on her face.
All these rich girls were probably all the same, weren’t they!
When Gu Yan pushed the door open and entered, she found a small living room, then further in, there were two suites. She could easily access her personal belongings, which were all stored inside a Space Button, by opening it.
One of the doors was closed, presumably because a roommate had already moved in, while the other room was open with no personal items inside, which was probably her room.
Gu Yan set her things in order and took a picture using her light brain, then she sent it to her mother Su Wan.
Gu Yan: Mom, this is my dorm ^_^.
Not only did she send it to her mother, but Gu Yan also forwarded a copy to Brother Little Mushroom. However, while her mother responded quickly, there was no reply from Brother Little Mushroom.
Su Wan: Is it two people per room now? It’s different from my time. It looks quite spacious. How is it, is your roommate easy to get along with?
Gu Yan: It seems that my roommate isn’t in the room, I knocked on the door earlier but no one answered.
Su Wan: Well, when she gets back, try to get along well with her. What are you planning to do next, Xiaoyan?
Gu Yan: I just sent a message to Second Brother, and then I’m planning to take a walk around the campus, have a look around!
Su Wan: Okay, pay attention to your safety.
Gu Yan: Don’t worry, Mom, nothing will happen to me at school, and the students are all very friendly.
Su Wan: Mhm.
In fact, Gu Yan was not unfamiliar with Empire University. She had explored it completely when her older brother got admitted.
Besides, her grandfather happened to be the president of the university.
There couldn’t be any danger.
Yet, as soon as Gu Yan pushed open the door, she saw a few people standing in the small living room. To be precise, it was a group of girls bullying another girl.
The one in the lead, with golden hair, was pulling on the long ears of the girl... a rabbit Beastman?
"Who are you trying to look pitiful for? You were the one who seduced Senior Lu first!"
The rabbit-eared girl pleaded pitifully, "I didn’t! Ouch, it hurts, let go!"
Gu Yan didn’t understand what was happening at first, but seeing a group of people bullying one person, she quickly intervened, "Who are you all, what are you doing?"
The golden-haired girl looked up, "And who are you?"
A girl next to her recognized Gu Yan and quickly leaned in to whisper in the golden-haired girl’s ear, "She’s the darling daughter of Commander Gu, Gu Yan!"
A hint of wariness flashed through the golden-haired girl’s eyes, but she still spoke up, "This has nothing to do with you."
Gu Yan: "Do you live in this dorm?"
The golden-haired girl frowned.
At that moment, the rabbit-eared girl pitifully said, "I live in this dorm. This is all a misunderstanding, I don’t even know the Senior Lu they’re talking about!"
For some reason, Gu Yan felt inclined to believe the pitiful rabbit-eared girl and looked up at the golden-haired girl, "There seems to be some misunderstanding here. Why don’t we do this, bring this Senior Lu over, and confront him face to face? That way, we can clear up the misunderstanding."
The golden-haired girl’s expression froze; how could she bring Senior Lu over?
She couldn’t!
But given Gu Yan’s prestigious identity, the golden-haired girl held back her irritation and finally glared at the rabbit-eared girl, "If I catch you trying to seduce Senior Lu again, I’ll see if I don’t rip off those rabbit ears of yours!"
After delivering her threat, the golden-haired girl finally led her group away with a flurry.
The dorm’s small living room finally regained its tranquility. Gu Yan asked the housekeeping robot to tidy up the living room, then turned to the rabbit-eared girl, "Hello, my name is Gu Yan, and I’ll be your roommate from now on."
