The next day, Jiang Xuehan was up early again, brushing her teeth in the bathroom.
Xia Ziying appeared beside her in pajamas, rubbing sleep from her eyes. She studied her roommate curiously. "Xiao Han, don’t you have your own skincare? Haven’t had time to buy any?"
"Skincare? I never use any!"
"Eh? Yet your skin’s so fair. Truly blessed by nature, huh..."
Moments later, Xia Ziying slipped back into the bathroom, this time holding a change of clothes. She shut the door and began unbuttoning her pajama top.
*Spit!* Jiang Xuehan choked, spraying water everywhere. "Ziying... wh-what are you doing?!"
"Changing, obviously?" Xia Ziying paused, confused. "You expect me to wear pajamas to class?"
"But... I’m still here..."
"I know. So what?"
"Mmm..."
Seeing her petite roommate’s flustered blush, Xia Ziying sighed. "I’m saving time. The boys’ dorm faces our balcony—who knows if some creep’s spying with binoculars? Safer here. Just don’t look if you’re shy."
No other option. Jiang Xuehan closed her eyes and kept brushing, the small mirror forgotten. The rustle of fabric filled her ears. Her imagination ran wild—picturing Ziying’s smooth skin—making her nearly swallow toothpaste foam. Thankfully, Ziying changed quickly. By the time Jiang Xuehan finished, her reflection showed Ziying in a student-style white lace-collared blouse and chocolate-brown shorts, flaunting glossy, rounded legs. "How’s this? Cool but not revealing?"
"Mhm..."
"Hey, Xiao Han, your legs must be nice too. Ever try shorts or skirts? It’s scorching—you can’t be comfy in jeans all day."
"Eh, I’m fine. Keep calm and carry on..."
Truth was, Jiang Xuehan loved loose shorts. But after one mirror session—staring at her own porcelain, slender legs until her nose bled—she’d sworn them off.
Yes, Jiang Xuehan wasn’t just blessed with curves. She had *anime-perfect* legs too.
Though her chest was modest now, her legs were flawless: supple joints, silk-smooth skin, long and shapely without an ounce of fat. It made her... no, her *heart* fluttered dangerously.
Around 8 a.m., the four girls of Room 312 settled into a lecture hall.
Li Xinglan hadn’t planned to share classes, but Jiang Xuehan’s relentless pleading wore her down. University rules mandated certain courses, but students chose their own schedules—even classmates rarely overlapped.
Seated, Li Xinglan instantly drew every male gaze. Jiang Xuehan’s stomach tightened.
*No way I’m letting these losers steal Lanlan!*
*Okay... casual chats to bond?*
"Hey, Lanlan—you’ve never had a boyfriend, right?"
"Right. Why?"
"Planning to find one in college?"
"We’ll see. I won’t settle."
Jiang Xuehan’s sharp intuition caught the key detail: Li Xinglan *wanted* love, just hadn’t met the right person yet. *The prettier the girl, the pickier the taste, huh?*
But how could she win her over? Li Xinglan clearly wasn’t into girls...
The professor entered, starting class. Jiang Xuehan scrolled on her phone under the desk.
She hadn’t enrolled to graduate. This was just cheap housing—and a stepping stone to tournament prize money in two weeks. Attending lectures was pure camouflage; skipping later would raise suspicion. First semester had few mandatory classes anyway. With only two daily lectures and free weekends, she’d have ample time for her internet café job and streaming.
Her phone screen showed *Honor of Kings*, the hottest mobile MOBA. But she wasn’t just killing time—she was scouting games to stream. Riding the hype wave of new releases could skyrocket her channel.
After class, students packed bags. Jiang Xuehan hurried to drop her things before her café shift.
As she stood, a tap landed on her shoulder. A stranger grinned behind her. "Sis, you were playing *Honor of Kings* in class? I’m Eternal Diamond. My Li Bai’s insane. Add me—I’ll carry you tonight!"
Jiang Xuehan’s lips curled slightly. "Eternal Diamond? We can’t queue together."
"Huh? You’re Bronze or Silver? No worries—I’ll use my alt account to duo!"
"Nope. Not even your alt. I’m King of Glory."
The boy’s jaw dropped. "W-W-WHAT?! K-K-King of Glory?! Holy crap—you’re *legendary*?!"
Jiang Xuehan turned away, skipping lightly to catch her roommates already at the door.
