Chapter 11: Big News at School

The driver was carrying the young master's luggage, making trip after trip into the room.

"I'm starving! We were supposed to have dinner together in the evening, but now it's late-night snacks!" Shangguan Yao complained, pointing at the wall. He was really hungry!

"Shangguan, it seems you're eagerly awaiting my favor, huh? Come on, let's go out for a big meal!" Ling Yexi pointed outside, "I'm in a good mood today!"

"You can't be serious?! You just arrived at Shengyu, and you're already thinking of making a move on those innocent girls?!" Shangguan Yao, being his close friend, knew exactly what Ling Yexi was up to just by looking at his smile!

"It's just picking up a stray cat!" Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, Ling Yexi's eyes reflected a mesmerizing and dangerous light.

Meanwhile, Cheng Xiaoyou was standing in front of the dormitory building.

The Shengyu girls' dormitory had six units, and she was in Unit 3, Room 302.

Standing at the door, adjusting her smile, she opened it and called inside, "Hello everyone, I'm Cheng Xiaoyou, the new resident. Please take care of me in the future!"

"Do you think you're filming a drama? Just come in and stop talking so much!" A girl with a green facial mask poked her head out and gave her a disdainful look before putting on her headphones and lying back down without any intention of greeting her.

"Don't mind her; she's always vain!" Another girl gave the masked girl a disapproving glance, then came over with a bright smile to help Cheng Xiaoyou with her luggage. "Your bed is the one by the window, but since you didn't check in, I've been sleeping there for a few days. Is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem. If you like sleeping there, it's fine by me," Cheng Xiaoyou looked around the dormitory. Since she was a full scholarship student, she was staying in the worst dormitory Shengyu had.

But even this dormitory made her quite satisfied. The spacious room had only three bunk beds, two by the window and one near the door. Under the beds were space-saving desks and large wardrobes with bookshelves.

The dormitory also had two small suites: a well-equipped kitchen on the left and a bathroom on the right.

It was practically a well-furnished little apartment!

"Hmph! She was just waiting for you to say that!" The girl with the mask sneered.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. Actually, I can sleep anywhere. But I have a bit of insomnia, so if it's noisy near the door, I might not sleep well!" The girl who helped with the luggage explained hurriedly with a constant smile.

"Okay, then I'll sleep outside!" Cheng Xiaoyou didn't mind at all. She was the kind of person who could sleep anywhere.

"Thank you! I'll help you put your suitcase in the cabinet!" Xia Yiyi finished her task with a smile, helping the new student arrange her things.

"Hmph!" The girl with the mask snorted coldly and fell silent.

"If only you had arrived earlier; something big happened at school today!" Xia Yiyi, who had come with Cheng Xiaoyou from the dorm manager's office with bedding and daily necessities, couldn't help but gossip.

"Big news?" Cheng Xiaoyou had a bad feeling about it.

"Yes, at the orientation today, a crazy girl caused trouble! She dared to chase after our Prince and scold him!" Xia Yiyi said indignantly, "That was Prince's welcome speech! How dare she disrupt it! The harem faction said they'll make her pay if they find out who she is!"

"Harem faction?" Cheng Xiaoyou didn't understand what that was.

"Prince's fan club! They're die-hard fans!" Xia Yiyi realized that Cheng Xiaoyou had just started school and enthusiastically explained, "The most famous people in our school this year are the Three Princes of Shengyu: Gong Che, Shangguan Yao, and Ling Yexi! They are the epitome of wealth, power, appearance, and inner qualities! Each of them has their own fan club!"

"Ling Yexi…?" Cheng Xiaoyou hesitated, looking at Xia Yiyi. So, he's that famous?

"Yes, among the three, Ling Yexi is probably the most handsome. I like his style too! But Prince is really cool, and Shangguan is great too with his unique red hair. The school doesn't dare to manage him because of who he is!" Xia Yiyi said, her hands clasped and her eyes sparkling with admiration. "They've been best friends since childhood and always act together. It's hard to choose which one to look at!"

"They're good friends?" Cheng Xiaoyou's mood suddenly soured. "And Shangguan Yao has red hair?"

The next morning, Xia Yiyi dragged Cheng Xiaoyou to class because they were both in Class A.

Until they were about to leave, another roommate was still in bed.

On the way, Xia Yiyi chatted excitedly about how a girl was expelled for offending Prince the day before.

Cheng Xiaoyou didn't have the heart to tell her that the girl in question was her. She felt particularly uneasy, remembering Gong Che's words: "Either leave, or die!"

She had a bad feeling that something unpleasant was about to happen.

"Such a coincidence, let's go to class together!"

A gentle, magnetic voice came from behind, followed by a tall figure appearing next to her.

Cheng Xiaoyou turned in surprise and met Ling Yexi's smiling eyes.

Cheng Xiaoyou looked around cautiously, not seeing Gong Che and Shangguan Yao, who were said to always appear together.

Did he not know that she had offended his two friends?

"You know Ling Yexi?!" Xia Yiyi tugged at Cheng Xiaoyou's clothes, looking envious. It was surprising that someone from a common background like her would know Ling Yexi!

"Xiaoyou is someone I value a lot. Please take good care of her in the future!" Ling Yexi smiled at Xia Yiyi, putting an arm around Cheng Xiaoyou's shoulder, acting very close.

Xia Yiyi's face turned red, and she quickly nodded, "Sure, we're in the same dorm!"

"I have something to discuss with Xiaoyou alone, if that's alright?" Ling Yexi asked, his eyes full of request.

"Um, I just remembered something. I'll leave first!" Xia Yiyi couldn't handle the electricity in his eyes and, blushing, grabbed her bag and ran away.

"What does Ling want to talk about? Is there anything I can help with?" Cheng Xiaoyou wondered what he needed, looking up at him.

As soon as she said that, she felt quite ridiculous. From what Xia Yiyi said, Ling's family had a very complicated background, with leaders in both the business and political worlds.

Someone like him would need her help?

She was truly overestimating herself!
