Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Future Roommate

Yue Qingqing didn’t know that her name had spread throughout the entire Lingguang No.1 Middle School.

The students of Lingguang No.1 Middle School have always been proud.

Not only the high school division but also the junior high division.

Aside from the local old residents, basically all the students were from big households who bought school-district housing.

From a young age, the education these children received simply couldn’t be compared with that of ordinary people.

Add to that the unrivaled educational resources of Lingguang No.1 Middle School -- almost all the best teachers were here.

With top-of-the-line salaries and benefits, they even retain the tradition of distributing housing to this day, a practice beyond the reach of other schools.

Yet, in such a context, a girl named Yue Qingqing emerged at the top.

Even with additional points added, she wasn’t the provincial top-scorer.

But the teachers knew as surely as if they had seen it in a mirror: her raw test scores actually ranked her first.

Otherwise, why would the principal go so far as to offer free room and board and a scholarship, insisting on bringing her to school here?

He probably feared that if they lost the top spot in the college entrance exam a few years later, it would be a face-losing affair.

Before Yue Qingqing even made an appearance, she had already earned a wave of goodwill from all the teachers, including the cafeteria auntie and the dormitory supervisor teacher.

The dormitory supervisor auntie didn’t ask further questions.

After all, the girl was an elite student, treasured by her family -- what was the problem with bringing along a few more people?

"If you have any problems in the future, Yue student, just come to auntie. The dormitory provides hot water 24 hours a day, and there are water rooms and bathrooms on the first floor," said the auntie, explaining everything in great detail.

Only after they had gone upstairs did Yue Jiannan say sourly, "The top student sure is different, huh."

Thinking back to his own time at the school, Yue Jiannan recalled what kind of treatment he got -- so many people in one dormitory.

The youngsters these days really were living the good life.

Perhaps to avoid conflicts, each dormitory door had the names for each bed space posted.

Yue Qingqing saw that she was in luck -- she had gotten Bed No.1 by chance.

Here, the dormitories were designed with a bed above and a desk below, so naturally, there was no division of upper and lower bunks.

Yue Qingqing’s bed was by the window, and it was sufficiently bright with plenty of light.

Zhang Ying and Yue Jiandong began to shake out and arrange things.

Stepping on a ladder, Yue Jiannan made the bed while Lin Yushan lent a hand.

Yue Qingqing placed some books and small items into the cupboard.

Many hands make light work, and they soon had everything arranged.

Yue Qingqing went to the dormitory door to check her roommates’ names.

Zhou Xitong, Lu Zhu, and Ye Chunxiao.

But none of them had arrived yet.

"That’s about it; let’s go out for a meal," someone suggested.

After washing their hands, Zhang Ying looked around with a mix of pride and worry.

"Qingqing, call your mom if there’s any trouble. She will also message you often," Zhang Ying said.

Yue Qingqing patted her pager and gestured to Zhang Ying to be at ease.

As they were talking, Yue Jiandong opened the door.

He almost bumped into the girl outside.

She was a short-haired girl, slender, dragging a cowhide bag as she walked in.

Seeing the dorm room full of people, the girl looked at everyone warily and didn’t greet them.

Yue Qingqing took the initiative: "Hello, I’m Yue Qingqing. May I ask who you are?"

"Lu Zhu." The girl kept her head down, showing no intention of making further conversation.

Warmly, Yue Jiannan said, "Is your stuff heavy? Let me help."

As he spoke, he walked over to help the girl with her things.

Lu Zhu immediately exclaimed sharply, "No need!"

The atmosphere turned awkward for a moment as Yue Jiannan’s outstretched hand hung in the air.

Yue Qingqing, noticing the tension emanating from Lu Zhu, whispered, "We’ll leave you to settle in first, then."

Lu Zhu grunted in response and dragged her bag to the bed across from Yue Qingqing’s.

She started to take things out with difficulty.

A faint musty smell wafted from it, causing the Yue family to pause momentarily.

Lu Zhu, however, pressed her lips together, silent, with not a trace of embarrassment on her face.

She just took out the mold-spotted bedding and spread it on her bed.
