Zhao Youyue’s roommate, He Weiwei had most certainly aligned herself with the Lady as well. The longer she knew Zhao Youyue, the more she understood that Lady Zhao’s identity was not that simple afterall.
When He Weiwei returned to her dormitory, she coincidentally heard her classmate Zhong Xiaoli – from the dormitory to the opposite of hers, talking loudly about the Zhao Youyue rumors. Fate had given her the hearing to pick that up. Fate had given Zhong Xiaoli the ability to milk and splice rumors. It was people like Zhong Xiaoli that was why the rumors spread at an increasing rate on each passing day.
Zhong Xiaoli was basically announcing to her room, “Zhao Youyue next door is really misbehaving. Classes have not even begun, and she is already causing trouble during military training. This is a disgrace to our Chinese Studies. I’m now starting to doubt how she got in here. With that beauty, it doesn’t take much to imagine. A trade must have been made.”
Liu Dan, who was Zhong Xiaoli’s roommate, quickly joined in to remain on her good side —— “That’s right, that’s right. Zhao Youyue looks just like a vase. What talents could a vase possibly have?”
Liu Dan scoffed. She considered herself to be delicate, pretty and temperamental. If Zhao Youyue did not have her immunity against the sun, she would not have been able to stand out like so. Liu Dan even considered her own beauty to be on par with Zhao Youyue’s.
It was true that girls relied heavily on their beauty. But reputation did not trail far behind that, regarding priority. Reputation gave you the headroom to be pretentious. The greater the reputation, the more you deserved to be pretentious. To become the “widely recognized school flower,” one had to rely on reputation. If not, you could have the beauty of the heavens, but no one would know of it. That beauty would be pointless.
He Weiwei heard the girls next door gossiping unscrupulously. The blood rushed up her head. She marched to their door, and like a great general, she stood with her legs straight and apart, reprimanding those girls for those unfounded accusations. She went on saying how the mighty Zhao Youyue had a powerful, wealthy family.
In retuen, Zhong Xiaoli replied flatly, “Beautiful girls have their ways, it only depends on how little moral they’ve retained. Well, they could spread their legs open and cash would flow in, right?”
He Weiwei was a loyal, protective friend. She almost erupted at those words. She dashed forward and swung her hand back to give that whelp a massive slap. Fortunately, her roommate Yu Xuefei just happened to return. She grabbed hold of the enraged He Weiwei and started dragging her back to their dormitory…
Yu Xuefei may not exactly be on good terms with He Weiwei, but they were dorm mates. Yu Xuefei also looked up to Zhao Youyue, and knew what kind of person that Lady really was. Naturally, she did not buy those rumors one bit. Sadly she was not as protective as He Weiwei, so she would not go around slapping everyone who spoke of the rumor.
Also, she did not want to get into unnecessary trouble. Even if a female student started a physical fight, that would qualify as a breach of campus rules. During this military training period, discipline was particularly strict. Yu Xuefei did not want her roommate to cause trouble and get the entire dormitory punished.
It was true that she did not like He Weiwei, but they have been living together for over ten days. Zhao Youyue no longer slept in the dormitory. Zhou Cai gamed pretty much the entire day. It was only inevitable that left without a choice, these two would start conversing. They may still bicker and disagree on everything, but some bonding had occurred.
The “no discord, no concord” theory was not only applicable to boys, but it was relevant to girls as well. No matter what, she was not the unbearable presence of the room…
Unfortunately, such a presence did exist in the dormitory next door. Her name was Ma Shuang. Her name carried the meaning “highly efficient.” She was anything but that, to the extent that people have given up on criticizing her.
This was a hot and sweaty time of the year, but she rarely ever took baths. She was not even bothered to wash her legs. The whole room was filled with that amazing fragrance. At that moment, Yu Xuefei had successfully dragged He Weiwei back to the doorway. Both girls took a whiff of the stench and frantically started to flee.
Compared to the environment of the dormitory next door, their own residence was simply heaven. Whenever Zhao Youyue dropped by in the afternoon, she would take the initiative to clean the place up. She had even discussed with her roommates on how to redesign their dormitory, giving it some class and value.
