46 The Girl with Red Eyes (2/2)

Now it was Aria's turn to look confused. ”Aren't you the dorm leader?”

”Hey! Is this a newcomer!” Renae grinned as she swung an arm around Hana's shoulders. ”You want to enter our dorm team right?”

”Renae, what is going on?”

Renae widened her eyes. ”You don't know? Hana, you're the dorm leader!” She worried for the future of their dorm. Hana didn't seemed to care much about school-life.

”Our school allows its students to divide themselves up into unofficial factions through the dorm system. It's a way to build up rapport between students and we take advantage of it to form connections that will benefit us in the future. The school also allocates certain resources by dorm as well. Please tell me you know this?”

Just looking at Hana blank face, Renae could tell she didn't.

”Anyway, it's common among students to challenge each other for resources. Every dorm as a team that represents them. Teams have the options of challenging each other for resources. However, many challenges are done more for prestige and fame.”

”This sounds troublesome.”

”Well, the school encourages it. Apparently competition allows the students to grow.” Renae shrugged and glanced at Aria. ”Anyway, I'm surprised that you want to join us. Our dorm is relatively unknown and made up of freshman.”

”In addition, as a member of the Xie family, there's even less of a reason for you to join Bluewing.” Renae summarized.

The Xie family was one of the top families and was unparalleled in influence. They controlled their own dorm faction on campus, so it was strange for someone like Aria to show up on their doorstep. Even if she was from a side branch, it was still peculiar.

Aria glared at her. ”That's none of your business! I want to join this dorm!”

”Oh,” Hana finally matched her face.

This was the girl she bumped into the first time she came to the dorm! The one that stormed off without a word.

”Why do you want to join?” If Hana had to live with this girl, she wanted to make sure it wouldn't lead to conflict.

”All the other dorms don't allow freshman to be on their active teams. I need to join a new dorm in order to do so.” Aria huffed.

”Oh, I guess that's fine if you can get along with everyone else.” Hana muttered. It seemed like this girl has here for fame or something along those lines. She outlined the expectations that she told Song Qi and Renae. ”If you're fine with that, then it's ok with me.”

Aria agreed instantly and moved in. And with that, the dorm's residents increased by one.

”Will this be ok?” Renae asked as they wanted the girl march up the stairs. Although she didn't mind increasing the number of dormmates, this Aria seemed a little arrogant. She rolled her eyes. A member of the Xie family through and through.

”It should be fine,” Hana shrugged. More people in the dorm was also a good thing. It meant she could leave the bakery for them to manage while she did her own things.

Ring! The doorbell rang again. Another visitor? Hana sighed as she went to the door again.

”Hello Hana, we finally meet!” The boy outside gave her a dazzling grin. ”You can call me Lance.”
