Chapter 3: Roommate

“This is the big move you were talking about?”

If the other side didn’t respond, wouldn’t it just be a waste?

“A move counts as long as it works. Just see if it did or not.”

So Su Nuo continued scrolling.

Judging by the timestamps, the reply only came several hours after the lewd pictures were sent.

[Rich Big Sister: How about this, are you free this weekend? Let’s meet up, some things are better said face-to-face.]

“Did it really work? I feel like she’s about to officially reject you and tell you to stop bothering her.”

“Ah, you don’t get it. You adults are all like this. You’re obviously interested, but you have to act aloof first,” Su Xiao Nuo said cheerfully.

“Like when you just heard my suggestions, saying this won’t work and that won’t work, but you still came down to check your messages.”

Su Nuo bared her little tiger teeth.

She really was asking for it.

“Don’t overthink it. Trust me, this is a girl’s intuition. Just go this weekend; there’s definitely a chance.”

Honestly, Su Nuo wasn’t that confident, but as Su Xiao Nuo said, it wouldn’t hurt to try.

Besides, they had come this far in the conversation. If she didn’t go, it would be like standing her up.

If things went wrong, she could always say, “You misunderstood, I’m just kind-hearted and like sending people my lewd pictures online.”

That’s called saving face.

“Alright, I can try, but I’m telling you in advance—I don’t know what to do,” she pointed at the computer screen.

“All those… techniques you mentioned, I don’t know any of them.”

A total beginner, new to this kind of thing, so don’t roast her.

“It’s simple, I’ll teach you. First, look at yourself in the mirror more often every day…”

Su Xiao Nuo was about to pass on her little cute girl training manual when suddenly the dorm door clicked open, and a girl walked in.

Both of them instantly fell silent.

A very pretty girl—despite Su Nuo’s own white jade-like complexion, she didn’t lower the dorm’s average attractiveness at all.

Her sleek black hair fell straight and long, her pure appearance refined, and her figure was perfectly proportioned—she looked like a traditional university campus belle.

“Hey? Hello? He~llo~? Haha, I’m talking but she’s not hearing me!”

Obviously.

If she could hear her, she’d be a ghost.

“Right, this is my roommate, Lin Chu Xi. The ‘Chu’ is from ‘beginning,’ and ‘Xi’ means ‘tide.’”

The introduction was so brief it was clear they didn’t have much interaction normally.

But as Lin Chu Xi stepped inside, she sniffed and frowned slightly: “Su Nuo, what are you doing again…”

Oh no!

Su Nuo quickly buried her head, too ashamed to look up.

She didn’t cause this mess… but the evidence was obvious!

“It’s fine, don’t be nervous,” Su Xiao Nuo said calmly.

“She’s used to it by now.”

Sure enough, Lin Chu Xi just muttered half a sentence and didn’t continue.

She went back to her bed to organize her things, then headed out again.

“But wouldn’t it be embarrassing to have your roommate know your private business?”

Su Nuo communicated silently in her mind.

“Doesn’t it matter what she thinks of you?”

Lin Chu Xi had made a pretty good first impression.

Maybe it was because of her age; when Su Nuo first started college, her favorite type was exactly this kind of traditional campus belle—black long straight hair, slim and proportioned figure, pure look, full of youthful charm.

As for her current body, her face was a bit younger-looking, and her chest was slightly larger.

“Don’t worry about it,” Su Xiao Nuo said lazily.

“Because Lin Chu Xi is a poor girl. She can’t blow up any gold coins, so it doesn’t matter.”

“…”

Su Nuo once again deeply understood her nature—lustful, silly, and mischievous, only caring about money.

Suddenly dropping dead young might just be heaven’s punishment for her “fine character.”

“How do you know Lin Chu Xi is a poor girl?”

“You can tell just by looking. Besides, we’ve lived together for three whole years—three! I’ve never seen her buy a handbag, or upgrade to a new Apple, and she never goes to classmates’ gatherings. Oh, and she can’t even afford a notebook computer, so she’s got this huge, bulky desktop case sitting there.”

Su Xiao Nuo spoke logically: “I also heard that the smaller the computer, the higher the craftsmanship cost. Only some boys who love gaming build cheap rigs and bring them to the dorm. And, the most expensive part of their computers is the graphics card; the more fans, the pricier it is. But Lin Chu Xi’s computer doesn’t even have a fan on the graphics card… I suspect she’s a filthy Remote!”

“?”

Su Nuo’s fists tightened at the insult to outsiders.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Suddenly, a noise interrupted their thoughts.

From the direction of the dorm door, Lin Chu Xi was pulling a small cart inside.

Su Nuo instinctively asked, “What are you doing?”

“Going to fix the computer,” Lin Chu Xi glanced at her.

“Because you won’t let me bring the repair personnel into the dorm.”

Won’t let?

Su Xiao Nuo: “I’m pure yuri, it’s reasonable not to let men into the dorm. It’s her own fault; why didn’t she find a female computer repair personnel?”

It was obvious that Lin Chu Xi hadn’t found any female repair personnel around the Capital University Town, so she planned to bring the computer to the shop.

Su Nuo hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, “Let me take a look, maybe I can fix it. That way you don’t have to take it downstairs.”

Since it was the original owner’s mess, she might as well help and make up for some of the loss.

“You… okay, help me move it out first.”

Lin Chu Xi looked a bit suspicious.

Since earlier, she felt her roommate was acting a little different, but she still decided to let her see.

After all, such a big thing was hard to move alone.

The girl went to the corner near her bed and slowly pushed out the huge case.

On the front was a big ‘X’ face, and at the top, a large eye symbol.

Creator God.

Su Nuo’s eyelids twitched. This wasn’t simple.

“Hey, aren’t you majoring in Marketing? Not Computer Science. How do you know how to fix computers?” Su Xiao Nuo whispered in her mind. “Where did you learn?”

Su Nuo ignored her and gestured for Lin Chu Xi to help tilt the case over.

They opened the side glass panel to check inside.

Hiss—

Everywhere was the big eye symbol, pure white with a cold metallic tone.

Though it wasn’t powered on, it gave off an even colder oppressive feeling.

Especially the angular brick installed vertically at the bottom of the case, which made her lean in involuntarily and reach out to touch it.

“Ahem.”

Lin Chu Xi’s gaze suddenly turned awkward.

She tossed out, “I’m going to get some water,” and got up.

Su Nuo was puzzled.

“Watch your collar, watch your collar,” Su Xiao Nuo reminded her.

“Your spring bloom’s showing!”

She was only wearing a white T-shirt with an especially large neckline.

When she bent over just now, the collar slipped off her fragrant shoulder, revealing half a smooth, radiant breast that was several shades whiter than the shirt.

Su Nuo silently adjusted the collar.

“The filthy Remote is looking at my boobs… whatever, we’re roommates. Let her look. Who told me I’m so kind and generous?”

Su Xiao Nuo’s muttering went unanswered because Su Nuo was carefully touching the semi-transparent “brick” inside the case, from the cold angles to the liquid metal pipes—the sensation was pure luxury.

She realized that the unlucky girl had completely misjudged her dorm life these past three years.
