After playing a few rounds, Gu Siyi waved at her newfound friends and walked back to her dorm.
Since she had come early in the morning, she was the only one in the room. She made her bed and organised her things before stepping out. By the time she returned to their dorm again, there were already two girls.
Gu Siyi took the initiative to greet them and introduced herself. “My name is Gu Siyi and I’m in Class 6 of senior high school.”
“My name is Xu Lin. I was promoted from middle school. I used to be in Class 8.” The girl with shoulder-length hair smiled brightly. “We all sleep in Class 6.”
The other short-haired girl, who was sorting out her books, said, “My name is Lan Xiaoqiu. I used to be in Class 1.” Her voice was very light.
They were all done with their introductions.
Gu Siyi chuckled as she said, “I’m from City B. I’m not familiar with the school. I will have to rely on you seniors to care of me in the future.”
Xu Lin nodded and went to make her bed. Gu Siyi decided to go lend her a hand. The two of them chatted as they worked and soon got it done. She then turned to help Lan Xianqiu who lightly thanked her and got to work.

At last, it was time for dinner, but the fourth roommate had yet to arrive.
“Let’s go eat first. Maybe she’ll be here tomorrow,” Xu Lin said.
The three girls then set out to the cafeteria. Along the way, Xu Lin excitedly acquainted Gu Siyi with the happening things and people of their school.
“Do you know what the treasure of our school is?” she asked with a particularly mysterious expression and tone.
Gu Siyi pondered for a moment and tried to answer, “Be yourself?”
These were the words inscribed on the stone tablet beside the Long Xing Middle School gate. Thanks to the motto, her initial apprehensions significantly abated, leaving her with a good lasting impression.
“——” Xu Lin was speechless. Nonetheless, she went straight to the point. “The treasure of the school is Xia Zhijun! Did you see the Honor Roll list? He was the one who ranked first. He is a heaven-defying student. He has been the number one year after year, not only in the entire school but in the entire city! He’s not only a great student but also tall and handsome. And every time there is a poll for the most handsome boy in school, he bags the highest number of votes.”
“Oh…?” Gu Siyi nodded slowly.
“I’ll give you some good news!” Xu Lin said with a face full of joy, “Xia Zhijun is in the same class as us, Class 6! You don’t know how envious my old classmates are of me. From now on, I can see Xia Zhijun’s beautiful face every day.”
Gu Siyi smiled from the bottom of her heart. The atmosphere was different from what she had imagined. It turned out that the people in the key middle schools gossiped just like the students in normal schools. This was good news for her.
Lan Xiaqiu stood a small distance from the chatting pair, deciding to stay quiet for that moment.
After entering the cafeteria, Lan Xiaoqiu hurried to the restroom as Xu Lin whispered to Gu Siyi, “Middle school is arranged according to your grades. She used to be in the first class. She was Xia Zhijun’s classmate. The top ten students are arrogant and don’t care about people.”
Gu Siyi smiled and said, “Perhaps she’s just introverted and has a hard time talking to people.”

The two waited for Lan Xiaoqiu to return, and when she finally did, they quickly went to get some food.
The school canteen was enormous, so much so that it was divided into three floors. Each floor served different food. Gu Siyi scoured the first floor for something spicy, but much to her disappointment didn’t spot any. The sight of the insipid spread made her want to explore the other floors.
Lan Xiaoqiu and Xu Lin, on the other hand, had already served themselves some rice and soup. In line with the purpose of socialising, Gu Siyi casually ordered a few dishes and followed along.
While she was on her way to the table after getting her meals, a girl suddenly hurtled at her, the tray in her hands spilling in her direction…
Although she quickly backed away, the small bowl of soup splashed onto her. The tomato and egg soup dripped down her white shirt and jeans, causing a large stain.
Two girls were playing around, and the one who was pushed bumped into her.
The girl looked back with a cold and indifferent expression and walked past without saying a word.
“When you bump into someone the least you can do is apologise,” stated Gu Siyi.
The two girls, who were about to leave, stopped and turned around to look at her seriously. One of them was wearing high heels, a white dress, her long hair trailing down her shoulders. She was like a gentle and charming goddess in a boy’s heart. However, her words were quite the contrary.
“Who told you to stand here and block our way? Apologise? You should be the one apologising.”
Xu Lin tugged at the corner of Gu Siyi’s clothes and motioned for her to let the matter slide. What’s more, she even apologised to her. “Senior, I’m sorry. We didn’t pay attention.”
“???” Gu Siyi looked at Xu Lin in shock.
“Let’s go.” Xu Lin pulled her away and gestured for her to do more than less.

When she was seated and was far enough away from them, Xu Lin whispered to Gu Siyi, “That’s Xu Na, a sophomore. The school’s famous Sister Nana is arrogant and domineering. Her family background is very deep. All the prominent people in the school are her friends, it’s better not to offend her.”
“Can she still eat me?” Gu Siyi picked up her chopsticks and poked the rice in the bowl. She was seething in anger, hardly in a mood to eat.
“Forget it, forget it,” Xu Lin consoled her. “Let’s not think too much about it. We just got into high school, so we should be careful not to cause too much trouble.”
“If you’re going to dwell on every little mishap, you won’t have the energy to study.” Lan Xiaoqiu, who hadn’t said a word until now, suddenly blurted out.
Gu Siyi shrugged and tried her best to accept the advice of her two roommates. After all, it was a new school in a different place. They were right, it wasn’t a good idea to get into trouble with the seniors.
Fú xì, fú xì. (As in peace).
After the trio finished their meal, they went to buy some milk tea before walking back to the dorm.
“I heard that we can see the most beautiful sunset on the rooftop of our dormitory building. We can also overlook the beautiful scenery of the school. How about we go and check it out?” Xu Lin suggested in an attempt to calm Gu Siyi.
“Okay.” Gu Siyi agreed. Standing high and looking from far away, she was sure to be in a relaxed mood.
“I’m not free. I want to study,” said Lan Xiaoqiu
Gu Siyi returned to her room and changed her clothes before heading to the rooftop with Xu Lin.
