Chapter 524: Perhaps They’re a Bit Alike

"That’s right. I don’t have to live with certain country bumpkins anymore. I couldn’t be happier!"

Of course, Cao Yuqing didn’t want the three of them to know she was being forced to move out. Even if she had to leave, she was going to get one last jab in at them.

"Cao Yuqing, you..."

Although Qi Yunzhi knew Cao Yuqing’s "country bumpkin" comment wasn’t directed at her, she was still upset hearing her talk about Shen Nian and Wang Chunhua that way. Especially since, after yesterday and today, she had started to build a friendship with them.

Shen Nian pulled Qi Yunzhi back and shook her head, then turned to face Cao Yuqing.

"Perfect. Not having to live with you makes us country bumpkins quite happy too!"

As soon as Shen Nian spoke, Cao Yuqing’s expression soured. Qi Yunzhi’s and Wang Chunhua’s eyes lit up as they looked at Shen Nian.

Qi Yunzhi was especially impressed. ’Why didn’t I think of that? Shen Nian is amazing; she knows exactly what to say to get under someone’s skin!’

’I have to learn this skill from Shen Nian. Then we’ll see if those people back home still dare to mess with me.’

"A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. Living with you is such bad luck!"

Cao Yuqing forced a glare at the three of them, trying to get the last word in before continuing to pack her things.

However, Cao Yuqing had only just started packing when someone appeared at the door of Room 304.

"What’s taking so long? You haven’t finished packing yet? You’re way too slow!"

Chu Lingxiu stood at the door of Room 304, frowning at Cao Yuqing, who had barely started packing.

The room swap was originally scheduled for noon, but Chu Lingxiu had been getting annoyed by Gu Shuxin’s sarcastic comments. On top of that, Jiang Jiajia was constantly trying to pry into her background.

Agitated, she decided to move everything ahead of schedule and had someone bring her things down.

’She’d thought that since Cao Yuqing was so eager to switch rooms yesterday, she would have been ready to go by now! Who knew she would be so slow!’

"I... I’ll pack right away! It’ll be quick!"

The arrogance Cao Yuqing had shown toward Shen Nian’s group immediately vanished when she faced Chu Lingxiu. Without another word, she started packing faster.

Wang Chunhua and Qi Yunzhi exchanged a glance. ’So Cao Yuqing has a subservient side to her. And to think she was so arrogant just a moment ago!’

’Still, this person who can make Cao Yuqing grovel must be someone impressive! And from the sounds of it... could she be our new roommate?’

With that thought, Wang Chunhua and Qi Yunzhi looked toward Chu Lingxiu, who was standing at the door. When they saw the luggage beside her, their suspicion was confirmed: she was indeed their new roommate.

’Hmm, this new roommate has a pretty intense aura! But anyone who can shut Cao Yuqing down like that is someone we like!’

Shen Nian had also figured out the new roommate’s identity and looked toward the door at around the same time.

But when she saw the person standing at the door, Shen Nian’s reaction was completely different from Wang Chunhua’s and Qi Yunzhi’s.

’It’s actually the young lady of the Chu Family!’

’Isn’t this... a little too much of a coincidence?’

’Cao Yuqing leaves, and the young lady of the Chu Family arrives. It seems my university dorm life really won’t be boring!’

Despite what had happened between them before, Shen Nian strangely didn’t feel any deep animosity toward Chu Lingxiu.

Perhaps it was because some of Chu Lingxiu’s experiences were similar to her own past—they had both been used and deceived by others.
