CHAPTER 434: CHAPTER 433: NUMBER ONE IN THE CITY

"Bang!" The sound of bone hitting the floor wasn’t too loud or too soft, as Zhen Yu controlled the force.

"Ah!!" The middle-aged woman also let out a sharp scream, which was exactly like that of the long-haired girl!

"Mom!!" Seeing this, the long-haired girl yelled and tried to climb down from the bed! "Let go of my mom!"

Zhen Yu, without turning her head, said coldly, "Stay on the top bunk and don’t move! Otherwise..."

"Ah!" The middle-aged woman’s arm was squeezed again, and she cried out in pain.

"I’ll go up! I’ll go up! Just stop pressing on my mom!" The long-haired girl’s voice trembled.

It was then that Zhen Yu turned to her brother and said, "A good man doesn’t fight with a woman! You go ahead and I’ll meet you downstairs."

Zhen Yan exchanged a glance with his sister, confirmed that she could handle the situation, then left dormitory 208 swiftly to wait for his sister downstairs.

Zhen Yu waited for about ten seconds, feeling that her brother should have reached downstairs by now, before finally letting go of the middle-aged woman’s arm.

After standing up, the middle-aged woman’s expression changed several times, but in the end, she still said nothing! She continued to pack her daughter’s cabinet.

It seemed she was very aware of the situation! Zhen Yu silently appraised in her heart.

As soon as she showed some skill, the other party wisely chose not to provoke her further! This kind of person is also easy to handle.

And the long-haired girl was clearly completely obedient to her mother!

Seeing her mother no longer speaking, she too said nothing! She quietly shrunk on the top bunk.

It seemed she had inherited her mother’s good traits! She was quite perceptive.

After making her bed, Zhen Yu locked up her daily necessities in the only cabinet left on the top row.

From the moment Zhen Yu entered the dorm to when she finished organizing her things and sat on her bed, the mother and daughter sitting on the bed near the window had been as silent as if they didn’t exist— not even a glance had been exchanged with Zhen Yu! This showed that they were the kind of people who didn’t meddle in other people’s affairs.

---

Although it was autumn, there were still mosquitoes! So, as soon as Zhen Yu sat on her bed, she began to hang her mosquito net.

While she was busy, another mother and daughter—presumably—entered the dorm.

Both of them were carrying a bunch of stuff, basins, pots, cups, bowls, and all sorts of necessities for eating, drinking, wearing, and using.

As soon as they entered, they put their stuff in front of the cabinets. The older woman took out a key to open the cabinet in the middle row on the left and started to put things inside.

The girl, however, walked straight up to Zhen Yu!

"Hi! You’re the new roommate, right? I’m Hu Xi! And you?"

Since it’s bad manners to snub a friendly approach, Zhen Yu had no choice but to let go of the corner of her mosquito net and stand up.

"Hello! Zhen Yu!"

Just as she finished speaking, Zhen Yu immediately felt the atmosphere in the room go quiet.

What’s going on?

Zhen Yu frowned subtly without making a sound.

Hu Xi’s smile suddenly brightened! Her mouth opened as if she was about to speak, but she was unexpectedly interrupted.

"Oh my! So you’re Zhen Yu!"

The previously silent mother stood up and moved toward Zhen Yu, reaching out to grab her hand!

Zhen Yu subtly and swiftly sidestepped toward her bed to avoid the hands.

The forced smile on the woman’s face faded significantly, but she still tried to feign a humble tone, "Look at me! I forgot to introduce ourselves just now! This is our Ren Jing!" She pulled her daughter, who had also stood up, to her side and pushed her toward Zhen Yu.

"You will be roommates from now on! You must help each other in life and studies!"

Ren Jing immediately nodded, "Yes! I will!"

---

Since the situation was unclear, Zhen Yu did not nod or shake her head, and even more, did not speak!

She decisively chose not to look at the mother and daughter at all!

The atmosphere was on the verge of becoming awkward when Hu Xi finally blurted out the words that were stuck in her throat!

"You’re the Zhen Yu who scored first place in the whole city!"

Ren Jing’s mother’s mouth twitched fiercely, clearly dissatisfied with Hu Xi revealing Zhen Yu’s identity at this juncture.

Zhen Yu instantly understood! No wonder the Ren family mother and daughter came up to her, talking about ’helping each other out.’ It turns out it was all about this ’citywide first place’!

She didn’t even know she had scored first in the whole city...

"There’s someone waiting! No more chatting." Zhen Yu said this to Hu Xi and then turned around to continue hanging her mosquito net, completely ignoring the other two’s expressions!

The expressions on the faces of the Ren family mother and daughter were extremely unpleasant! The embarrassment of being ignored turned their faces from red to white and back again! In the end, they could only exchange a look and then both sat back down on Ren Jing’s bed.

Hu Xi obviously realized Zhen Yu didn’t want to deal with Ren Jing and her mother anymore. But she didn’t want to offend Ren Jing on behalf of Zhen Yu either! So she pretended not to notice the mother and daughter’s faces, and stood in place to politely ask Zhen Yu, "Do you need any help?"

"No need! Thanks!" Zhen Yu didn’t bother to pretend with Hu Xi and directly rejected her offer.

Eight people in a dorm, and four present were all sly as foxes! The days ahead were sure to be interesting...

Hu Xi didn’t continue speaking to Zhen Yu. Instead, she turned her head and shouted towards the closet at the entrance: "Mom! Take a rest, I’ll take care of it!"

Mrs. Hu turned and gave a gentle smile, "No need, aren’t you starting military training tomorrow? Better go to bed and rest for a while!"

---

Damn! Military training!

She had completely forgotten about this!

Zhen Yu’s spine stiffened! She quickly opened the system to connect with He Baihe!

"Sister He! Save me!"

He Baihe: "??? Isn’t your place governed by law? Oh no, that’s not right! Quickly hide in the Storage Space!"

"... I have military training! Urgently in need of sunscreen to save my life!"

He Baihe: "!!! Die from sunburn for all I care! Do you want expensive or cheap? How many bottles?"

"For personal use, of course, I want the good stuff! I also have one or two friends... better start with four bottles! Best to be prepared!"

He Baihe: "Can you wait if I buy it this afternoon?"

"It’s fine! Military training is tomorrow!"

He Baihe: "Tough life of a student! Enjoy... logging off now!"

What? Just log off if you’re going to!

Why hit me where it hurts first?!

Can we still play together happily in the future...

After disconnecting from Plane 1, the mosquito net was also hung properly.

Zhen Yu pushed her suitcase under the bed and then left the dormitory.

Coming downstairs, Zhen Yan and the Han family father and son were already waiting for her, but the Bai family mother and daughter were nowhere to be seen!

Zhen Yu’s eyes wandered, thinking a bit too much.

She had already finished her confrontation!

Why hadn’t they come out?

Could it be... they also got into a fight?!

Zhen Yu nodded to the guys and then stood firm in the corridor: "I’ll go take a look!"

Mr. Han also felt that the Bai family was taking a bit too long, and thus he instructed her: "Go ahead! If you need help, just come out and call us!"

"Okay!"
