She secretly checked on the Star Net and found that even the mattress alone cost five figures.
Seeing those four zeros at the end, Yuan Hanshuang couldn’t help but have a favorable impression of her roommate whom she had not yet met.
“What a kind-hearted and beautiful young lady!!!”
After changing the bedding and the maid finished cleaning the dormitory, she finally met the young lady in person.
The young lady has an outstanding temperament, delicate makeup, and a pair of large sunglasses on her face. Her hair is curled in the latest fashionable style, and the lace edges of her skirt glow fluorescently. She exudes an aura of wealth and opulence.
Most importantly, she is half a head shorter than Yuan Hanshuang, measuring only around 1.5 meters, which greatly reassured the latter’s wounded soul after seeing Ke Junda’s towering two-meter height in the past few days.
Although the young lady is petite, she possesses a strong presence.
Upon entering the room, she first glanced at Yuan Hanshuang from under her sunglasses, with her gaze pausing on the old-fashioned camouflage jacket. She then elegantly took off her gloves and said, “Xia Mengrou, A rank, Manifestation: Dream Butterfly.”
“Yuan Hanshuang, A rank, Manifestation: Koi Carp. Nice to meet you.”
Their hands barely touched for a moment during the handshake before Xia Mengrou swiftly withdrew hers.
Behind the not-so-thick door panel, Yuan Hanshuang heard Xia Mengrou complaining to the female housekeeper, “Her outfit clearly doesn’t match my aesthetics more than the beddings!”
“Goodness, is there such a thing?!”
If it weren’t for the fear of embarrassment, Yuan Hanshuang really wanted to push open the door right away and ask the young lady to replace all the old clothes in her wardrobe. She could even accept that shiny, sparkling pink princess dress!
Fortunately, Yuan Hanshuang still had some self-respect and didn’t dare to bring it up.
So that evening, the two of them didn’t exchange any words. It was a silent night.
The next day, Yuan Hanshuang woke up early.
Her biological clock was very sensitive, and she would wake up as soon as it was light outside.
She quickly finished her morning routine in five minutes, then painstakingly wrung dry the clothes she had washed the day before and hung them outside the window. With a light step, she left her dormitory and ran downstairs.
“Boss!”
In the distance, Ke Junda appeared with Wu Haoxuan.
The latter was rubbing his sleepy eyes when he saw Yuan Hanshuang, instantly jolting awake and standing upright. “Good morning, Senior Sister!”
Wu Haoxuan truly didn’t expect that when Senior Sister said she would train with him, she meant it seriously. Not only that, she even arranged for a burly man over two meters tall to share a dormitory with him.
He had been sleeping soundly this morning when Ke Junda forcibly dragged him out of bed, turning it into a nightmare.
“Why haven’t you woken up yet? Get up quickly!”
The way Ke Junda looked at him was full of impatience. “First rule for junior brothers: exercise together with me every day without any excuses!”
Ke Junda’s muscular physique was truly intimidating, and Wu Haoxuan knew he wouldn’t be able to withstand a punch from him. So, reluctantly, he sat up from his drowsy state and was forced to join the daily morning training squad.
The three of them arrived at the playground.
At this time, there were very few students exercising on the field, and it was shrouded in mist.
Yuan Hanshuang stood at the starting point, stretching her joints. “Today’s task is twenty laps.”
Her casual tone managed to convey such a dreadful task!
Looking at the vast playground, Wu Haoxuan argued from a logical standpoint, “Senior Sister, I’m a support, an auxiliary! A weak auxiliary!”
He specifically emphasized the adjective “weak.”
If there were to be a ranking of physical fitness among the gifted individuals, there was no doubt that the last place would always be occupied by the support type.
Due to various reasons such as the limitations due to Manifestation and skill development, support-type individuals inherently had lower physical fitness compared to other types of gifted individuals. Moreover, the overall interstellar environment for supports was challenging.
The requirements for support-type battles are not high, so support characters have always been seen as “fragile and easily knocked down,” and as the ones who need protection in team matches.
Wu Haoxuan is one of them. He has even less stamina than the average support character and gets tired after running just a few steps.
“Well, you’re a support character, so you’re weak.”
Yuan Hanshuang saw this and planned to train him well in the coming days: “I understand your weakness, so we can only run twenty laps in twenty minutes. You can run for an hour. Let’s go.”
Wu Haoxuan: “…”
Watching the two walk away, he had a mournful expression but eventually started moving his feet.
The result was that by the time Yuan Hanshuang finished running, completed three sets of push-ups, three sets of pull-ups, and finished a set of Tai Chi, as well as went to the cafeteria and had breakfast, Wu Haoxuan had only completed fifteen laps and was exhausted.
“Senior…senior, I really can’t do it anymore.”
“You’re already exhausted from running this little distance. What will you do during military training tomorrow?” Yuan Hanshuang rubbed her temples.
Wu Haoxuan wasn’t worried at all. He had a very optimistic attitude: “I checked the forum, and the seniors from previous years said that military training at Silver star Academy is straightforward, especially for support characters. The instructors will go easy on us!”
Seeing his cheerful and unaware demeanor, Yuan Hanshuang thought for a moment but couldn’t bring herself to tell him that this year, due to the lack of high-ranking staff at Yinxing, the military training was handed over to the neighboring Imperial Military Academy.
Military academies take military training seriously, and it can be tough. This year will be particularly challenging.
After morning exercises, they returned to the dormitory, and Xia Mengrou had just woken up.
The young lady hadn’t done anything yet. She took a luxurious hot bath, applied a silk face mask, and sat in front of the large dressing table, playing with the skincare products in front of her.
What was even more outrageous was that even the bottles and jars were studded with diamonds.
Yuan Hanshuang glanced at her and kindly reminded her, “We have to go meet the military training instructor this morning, and all the freshmen have to wear camouflage uniforms.”
“What?! I have to wear that ugly and tacky outfit?”
Xia Mengrou almost knocked over the perfume bottle in her hand.
Students have to purchase their own military training uniforms. To save money, Yuan Hanshuang specifically found a senior sister from Silver Star on the student forum and bought three sets, enough to get through a month of military training.
She had reminded the housekeeper of this matter a few days ago, but judging by the young lady’s reaction, it seemed that the servants hadn’t done their job properly and had forgotten something.
“It’s okay; I have another set here.”
Setting aside past grievances, Yuan Hanshuang took out her own spare set of camouflage uniform.
Although the young lady had shown disdain for her in every aspect yesterday, Yuan Hanshuang could still afford to support her after receiving an expensive set of beddings from her.
The only issue was that this outfit had probably already been worn by several owners, and it had faded from washing, with signs of wear and tear at the edges. Whether the young lady could accept it or not was another matter.
Sure enough, when Xia Mengrou took it and looked at it, her expression became awkward.
She opened the smart device on her wrist and arrogantly dialed the housekeeper’s number.
“What’s wrong with you all! You didn’t even prepare the clothing for military training! Bring them to me right away!”
After a while, the housekeeper arrived with the maids and the tailor, who nervously held a measuring tape.
“I want thirty sets, one for each day!”
Listening to the young lady’s orders, the tailor nodded and bowed.
Miss reported a series of unheard-of expensive clothing materials and various demanding aesthetic requirements over there, causing Yuan Hanshuang to touch her nose in response.
Just as she was about to pick up that despised old camouflage suit, she suddenly heard a tender shout, “Wait!”
Yuan Hanshuang turned her head in confusion. Not far away, Xia Mengrou was pointing at her with raised fingers, saying, “And her, measure her size as well. Order thirty sets for her, using the same style and materials as mine.”
“You, this country bumpkin, don’t misunderstand this lady!”
After saying that, Xia Mengrou hurriedly explained her actions, with a disdainful snort, “This lady has no intention of thanking you for your behavior just now. I just don’t want to see you wandering around the dorm in those tattered sackcloths that don’t match this lady’s aesthetics, polluting my eyes.”
Yuan Hanshuang suppressed a smile, “Alright, I’ll comply, Miss Xia.”
Tsk, misjudged her. Turns out, she’s a foolish beauty.
