<p>22 – The Quiet New Home</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>The Freshman ‘Goddess’ List.</p>
<p>“7000, why is she so fast? She doesn’t even have a name!”</p>
<p>In a room that resembled an office, a petite girl was sunk deep into a sofa chair.</p>
<p>Her eyes were fixed intensely on her phone screen, her face full of unwillingness and jealousy.</p>
<p>“Tingting, no need to rush.” Beside her, a much more robust figure compared to the frail girl on the sofa, who was even stronger than most boys, clearly someone who had trained.</p>
<p>“I’ve already asked someone to check; we will definitely find out about her situation.”</p>
<p>“Um, thank you, Gege Zhi~” Upon hearing what she was thinking, Chen Tingting immediately adopted a charming tone, which seemed a bit at odds with her innocent appearance.</p>
<p>“No worries, it’s just a girl, it’s very easy to handle.”</p>
<p>“Ahem, but easy as it is, it still takes quite a bit of time. I’ve called so many people, I’m exhausted…” Shi Lezhi’s gaze shifted to Chen Tingting.</p>
<p>Chen Tingting noticed, she wasn’t foolish—helping out definitely required a reward.</p>
<p>“Thanks for your hard work, I just happen to be free this weekend. Can we go out together?”</p>
<p>“Sure.” Shi Lezhi smiled.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Suyun arrived at the Art Building by the playground, putting on her mask and hat again.</p>
<p>Since she was moving, she had to go back to the dormitory; although it was stuffy, it couldn’t be helped.</p>
<p>She walked briskly back to the dorm after coming from the girls’ restroom.</p>
<p>It was already 7 PM, and there wasn’t much to do in the evening.</p>
<p>After three classes, everyone was exhausted, and her roommates were quietly sitting at their spots, eating takeout and watching videos.</p>
<p>“Oh, moving in, huh.” One of them teased as soon as Suyun walked in.</p>
<p>“From now on, there will only be five of us in the dorm. We might be the first five-person dorm in the class.”</p>
<p>“If you move out, there will be only four.” Suyun replied perfunctorily, then went to her spot to pick up several bags she had packed the day before.</p>
<p>There were six burlap bags. Her mom had packed a ton when she came to school, afraid she would need them later.</p>
<p>But as it turned out, 80% of them went unused, just piled up here.</p>
<p>Because of this, when she moved in at the start of the semester, three seniors and one senior brother had to help, and they had struggled for half a day to get it all sorted.</p>
<p>However, Suyun didn’t think to blame her mom for anything.</p>
<p>Holding three bags, she prepared to leave.</p>
<p>The bag was almost as big as a person, but Suyun effortlessly lifted two with her right hand, making it look like she was carrying cotton.</p>
<p>“Crack,” just as Suyun picked it up, a black umbrella fell to the ground.</p>
<p>It had slipped off her backpack; she hadn’t secured it properly.</p>
<p>Seeing the situation, Suyun bent down and tossed the umbrella into the largest bag, securing it tightly.</p>
<p>“Hey, is this your umbrella? Did you just buy it?” Mr. Zhang De-yi, who had been stealing glances, couldn’t help but ask upon seeing the black umbrella.</p>
<p>“I’ve been using it since school started.”</p>
<p>“Oh, oh.” Zhang De-yi nodded blankly.</p>
<p>The umbrella was pure black, with no decorative patterns.</p>
<p>Zhang De-yi remembered that his goddess used the same type of umbrella but didn’t expect Suyun did too.</p>
<p>However, the probability of using the same umbrella was still quite high.</p>
<p>Afterward, Zhang De-yi didn’t ask anything else, only saying goodbye as Suyun walked away.</p>
<p>Her roommates were also curious why Zhang De-yi suddenly called Suyun ‘big brother’, and some even asked him.</p>
<p>“Since Brother Yun is moving away, we have a space opening up for us. Isn’t that what a big brother is?”</p>
<p>“Oh, I see, that’s indeed a big brother.” The roommates agreed casually, then continued playing on their computers as if nothing had happened.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>After the first trip, there were still three bags left in the dorm, so Suyun had to make a second trip.</p>
<p>Her roommates cared more about her than she had anticipated, and during this last trip, the five of them suggested they help carry things back to her home.</p>
<p>Facing this situation, Suyun had no choice but to politely decline their goodwill.</p>
<p>There was no way; she feared being discovered.</p>
<p>This move meant she wouldn’t have to return to the dorm again.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>As darkness fell, Suyun walked to a residential area near the school, separated from the school gate by a bridge and a street.</p>
<p>Clearly, the school gate was bustling with people, but around here, not to mention her classmates, there wasn’t even a shadow of a person.</p>
<p>Well, she could still see someone a few dozen meters ahead.</p>
<p>“Swish, swish…” Just as Suyun took off her hat and placed it down, preparing to lift up the bags again, she heard a slight sound behind her.</p>
<p>It sounded like something was scraping.</p>
<p>Turning around, there were a few flourishing big trees.</p>
<p>Every ten meters along this road, a streetlight stood, casting long shadows from the trees under its illumination.</p>
<p>Is it the wind?</p>
<p>But it didn’t seem like she was being blown by the wind.</p>
<p>Suyun didn’t think too much about it; she just stared at the tree for several seconds before picking up the bags again and walking toward the entrance of her place.</p>
<p>“Beep.” A blue card was lightly placed on the door, producing a mechanical sound.</p>
<p>Suyun held the door with her foot, hurriedly taking her things inside.</p>
<p>“Click…” Once inside, the door shut heavily behind her.</p>
<p>Suyun didn’t know why, but before entering the elevator, she turned back to glance at the door. Through the glass window above, she saw it was dark outside.</p>
<p>Nothing at all.</p>
<p>“…”</p>
<p>The estimated weight of these three bags was nearly a hundred pounds, but in the elevator, they felt as light as paper in Suyun’s hands.</p>
<p>With one hand holding all three bags, she leisurely walked to her own door.</p>
<p>“Click.” The light here was sound-activated; it lit up as Suyun approached, illuminating the dark space.</p>
<p>The door across from 1101 was 1102, which shared the area with another tenant.</p>
<p>Suyun looked at the tightly closed 1102; the doorway was empty, and no light shone beneath the door, wondering if anyone lived there.</p>
<p>But the landlord said it was the last room available, so there should be someone.</p>
<p>Perhaps they return late.</p>
<p>Back at home, Suyun pulled out a towel, toothbrush, and some daily supplies from the bags and neatly set them out.</p>
<p>She elegantly flicked her long hair that had caught on her clothes behind her back.</p>
<p>There were no roommates; it was just her, very quiet, and she didn’t have to worry about anything anymore.</p>
<p>Suyun walked to the window, looking at the small food street a few hundred meters away from the school gate, which was brightly lit with many people having dinner or taking a stroll.</p>
<p>In contrast, looking down at the area near her building, only a few dim streetlights illuminated the space.</p>
<p>The noisy area was just behind this building, but Suyun didn’t like noise, so she stood there in a daze for a long time.</p>
<p>“It’s time to take a shower.” Suyun reluctantly noticed some white spots on her coat, remnants of chalk dust from rubbing against the wall during class.</p>
<p>Before showering, she picked up her phone from beside the bed and checked it.</p>
<p>(Qin Xue: (image.jpg))</p>
<p>(This silly younger sister)</p>
<p>(Looking like this, doesn’t she seem very cute?)</p>
<p>Qin Xue sent her a photo in which she could see Qin Xue sitting on the edge of her bed, next to Qin Yuan Yuan, who was enjoying a lollipop.</p>
<p>The other girl gripped the stick tightly, eyes fixated on the candy, clearly delighted with the treat.</p>
<p>(I: Um, um, very cute)</p>
<p>(Qin Xue: Why do I feel you’re being dismissive?)</p>
<p>(Tomorrow afternoon there are no classes, make sure to come early; I’ll have the five of them wait for you)</p>
<p>Perhaps feeling that Suyun’s response was too perfunctory, Qin Xue directly assigned her a task afterward.</p>
<p>“Uh…”</p>
<p>Is it too late to withdraw now?</p>
<p>Suyun felt at a loss, her back straightening, and a red apple appeared on her head.</p>
<p>“…”</p>
<p>Devil!</p>
<p>Suyun struggled a bit with Qin Xue over the phone, but in the end, she still had to go to practice tomorrow. With a frustrated face, she opened her bedroom wardrobe.</p>
<p>Inside was a door that matched the color of the cabinet; behind it was the bathroom and restroom.</p>
<p>Out of a sense of security, Suyun turned off all the lights in her room at that moment.</p>
<p>Only Suyun was in the room. She began to examine various spots with her scarlet eyes, ensuring there were no unusual lights before turning on the lights.</p>
