Chapter 516: 510, Not Listening, Not Listening, Flying Shoes Turn to Gold (Second Update)_1

Actually, during Yang Xi’s school years, it was her roommates who first came into contact with her and experienced what kind of person she was.

Now, Yang Xi’s income was all with Su Ruqin, and she never asked Su Ruqin for it. Su Ruqin had previously wanted to give her a card so that all future income would be directly deposited into this card, no longer exercising any financial control over her.

But that was exactly when Yang Xi had just returned from the United States and Ren He’s life or death was uncertain. Under such circumstances, Yang Xi didn’t even see Su Ruqin’s face, let alone take the card.

This year, Knight’s endorsement fee, amounting to several tens of millions of US dollars, was given to Yang Xi by Ren He as spending money. Yang Xi wasn’t short of money at all—she probably earned even more than from her singing career. She wasn’t pretentious at all, spending what she got without feeling embarrassed, after all, Ren He was rich.

One good thing about the Central Academy of Music was that after entering the school, you could choose the standard of accommodation for yourself.

Unlike the smaller Central Academy of Drama, the entire campus of Central Academy of Music was more than twice as big, with buildings constructed exquisitely, offering choices of double rooms, single rooms, four-person rooms, and six-person rooms.

Six-person rooms were too crowded and messy; Ren He advised her to go for the four-person room.

Different standards came with different prices. Yang Xi wasn’t short of money, but, sharing Ren He’s thoughts, she wanted to meet more friends and ideally form close friendships with one or two like-minded individuals.

Even Yang Xi’s roommates didn’t expect her to choose such a private dorm. Logically, a single room would fit her status more!

They had all listened to Yang Xi’s songs, adored them tremendously, and were now somewhat excited to finally see her in person.

The thoughts of girls are hard to guess and quite complicated. In fact, in their student days, though boys might fight, the friendships among boys are generally stronger than those among girls—with boys, everything is spoken out loud, and if something is wrong, they just fight it out, without holding back.

But many girls aren’t like that; relationships between girls can be so complex they give you a headache.

However, it seemed that after Yang Xi entered the dormitory, things took a turn for the opposite extreme. When someone was roughly at the same level as them, there might have been a hint of jealousy, but when someone was too good, so much so that they seemed like they weren’t even from the same world, jealousy naturally didn’t arise...

The other three were all chattery, asking her a slew of questions, none about how to become a star, but all about Yang Xi and Knight’s gossip...

But Yang Xi couldn’t be too specific, she could only roughly talk about things that happened between the two of them, but still had to be cautious not to let the other party find any clues about Ren He from her words.

Just mentioning a bit of those things made the three girls envious to no end. Which girl doesn’t like a passionate romance?

Yang Xi felt a bit regretful that just those little things already seemed intense to her roommates. What about the other things she couldn’t mention?

For her sake, he had gone back to the battlefield alone, ensuring her safe departure from the US—a scenario that is rarely even portrayed in movies.

That was truly intense, and Yang Xi would never forget those moments. She only hoped that after all they had been through, their love would last forever.

Because she feared no one else in this world would ever treat her like that again.

She longed to tell the world how wonderful that person was, but she couldn’t reveal it yet.

Yang Xi had written some sporadic events on the social media moments, visible only to herself. If the day came when the truth was out and Ren He could finally reveal his identity, she would make everyone in the world envious!

Her three roommates were all nice girls, one named Lulu, one named Xu Ying, and one named Hou Xueyan. They were all beautiful girls, especially Lulu who had the kind of looks that could overthrow realms; Yang Xi had to admit that Lulu was much more beautiful than herself, a classic Eastern beauty, dreamlike and phenomenal...

Hou Xueyan already had a boyfriend and was now telling him over the phone about the incident between Yang Xi and Knight. Yang Xi accidentally found out that Qi Huan was actually a freshman in the directing program at the Central Academy of Drama.

This did surprise Yang Xi a bit; she and Hou Xueyan had a coincidence, their boyfriends were both at the Central Academy of Drama!

According to Hou Xueyan, Qi Huan was an extremely talented young man, who started making short films in high school and even received positive feedback from netizens online. Initially, Hou Xueyan was Qi Huan’s leading actress and he constantly praised her acting skills, which led to her becoming his girlfriend.

Everyone jokingly said that Hou Xueyan was an actress who had been "taken under his wing," and Hou Xueyan, with a shy face, nodded and unreservedly laughed, "Yes, I’m the one he took under his wing..."

Lulu tended to be forgetful and had a bit of a temper. She’d reject someone hitting on her outright, but she was indeed a nice person.

Xu Ying was like an older sister-next-door, occasionally coming out with witty remarks, full of humor.

Yang Xi felt that continuing her studies and choosing a room for four was the right decision; after all, humans are social animals, and it is these people around us that construct our lives.

Life without friends is a pitiful and lonely one, and Yang Xi didn’t want that for herself.

When the weekend arrived, Yang Xi informed her roommates that she was heading back to the Courtyard House to see her boyfriend.

The other three’s eyes lit up, "Can we meet Knight, too?"

"Hmm... I’ll ask him first; he doesn’t really like socializing," Yang Xi explained with a smile.

The weekends were her private time with Ren He; truth be told, she didn’t want to be disturbed. Ren He had agreed to play two rounds of support for her in Dota, under the condition that Yang Xi gave him a kiss...

Such little conditions were like tiny games between the two of them, and they never tired of it.

If you encounter the wrong person, time becomes a form of torture. But when you meet the right one, a lifetime seems to pass in the blink of an eye.

To the surprise of Yang Xi’s roommates, it hadn’t been long since school started, yet they already knew Yang Xi was an internet game addict, as she played Dota with Knight every night and even uploaded videos of their Dota games to Weibo... Her ID was public, though she had set it to refuse friend requests.

Someone scrolled through Yang Xi’s gaming records and found that she had several regular teammates. However, those gaming IDs were somewhat awkward...

Ren He’s ID in Chinese was "Not Listening Not Listening, Boots of Travel for Gold." Boots of Travel could be used to farm gold across the map, and the Hand of Midas was a very expensive early-game farming item that was useless in combat.

Yang Runrun’s ID was "Don’t Care Don’t Care, Fully Upgrade the Dagon." Dagon was a point-and-click, high-damage instant item, used especially for stealing kills...

Zhang Jinglin’s ID was "Carry the Ball Carry the Ball, Who is the Cancer." Meaning disregarding teammates, only focusing on pushing lanes...

Li Shuaizhen’s ID was "Don’t Want Don’t Want, Divine Rapier."

This damn team was made up of four cancers! And Yang Xi’s ID was "Not Me Not Me, I’m Not in This Wave"!

Can you believe a girl idol would choose such an ID?!

However, it can’t be denied, these five people’s IDs were very recognizable and even rhymed well...
