Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 550 Room (1)_1
The Yu Family had to admit that after half a month spent with the army, not only had the Yu siblings changed, but Zhang Yuchen and several members of the Gui Family had transformed as well. Each one of them wanted to become stronger.
"Hmm, it’s getting late. Let’s rest," Shangguan You nodded, turned off the computer, and quickly walked into the bathroom. If the conversation continued, she wasn’t sure she’d be able to resist finding out more about Yu Zifeng from Yu Zijin.
"Youyou." Yu Zijin stamped her foot, watching as Shangguan You disappeared into the bathroom and closed the door, feeling somewhat resentful. Big brother, it’s not that your sister won’t help you, but your character is just too flawed. Sighing deeply, Yu Zijin walked into the other bathroom.
The dormitory originally consisted of two connected rooms, so it naturally had two bathrooms.
Lying in bed, Shangguan You looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and found herself unable to sleep. She had originally planned to enter her unique space when everyone else was asleep, but with five additional people from Hidden World Village present, she dismissed the idea. Her every move was constantly being monitored by them, so she had to be exceptionally cautious.
For the next two weeks, all the new students were incredibly busy. For Shangguan You and her companions, it was military training and then more military training. Standing under the blazing sun, Shangguan You even began to resent its vicious heat.
Gui Luo fainted on the very first day and was taken to the school infirmary, thus exempting him from the following days of military training. Ye An Ya didn’t show up at all until the two weeks of training concluded, reappearing in the dormitory as arrogant as ever.
Although the military training was harsh and tiring, for Shangguan You, it was nothing to her. She hadn’t forgotten her first time at the army camp, nor Liu Dabao’s intimidating welcome.
As fate would have it, Liu Dabao once again became their instructor. His eyes lit up when he saw Shangguan You, and he proceeded to drive the new recruits mercilessly once more. Everyone complained bitterly as Liu Dabao’s voice boomed. He showed no mercy in training them, and his piercing gaze constantly watched Shangguan You, allowing no room for slacking.
Though the daily training left her aching and exhausted, Shangguan You gritted her teeth and persevered. She didn’t use even a trace of her internal Spiritual Energy, relying solely on her own physical condition to get through each day.
「In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.」 Military training came to an end, marking the start of university life. Upon departing, Liu Dabao sought out Shangguan You to commend her performance and thank her for what had happened after the New Year. After these exchanges, Liu Dabao left Beijing First University with the other instructors, heading back to the army with firm steps.
「Academic study at the university got underway in earnest.」
On the campus of Beijing First University, Shangguan You held a book, lazily leaning back on the grass. The bushes in front of her concealed her figure, hiding her entirely among the trees. With one book propped as a pillow under her head and another covering her face, she napped and basked in the sun. This prime spot had been accidentally discovered by Shangguan You, and she naturally took advantage of it, sunbathing there whenever she didn’t have classes to avoid the people in her dormitory.
"Shangguan You?" A deep voice sounded beside her ear, accompanied by a faint, pleasant scent. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Uh," Shangguan You responded softly, removing the book from her eyes. Blinding sunlight flooded her vision. Standing within it, a tall figure, bathed in a faint golden light, appeared before her. What met her gaze was a handsome face with a teasing half-smile and smiling eyes.
"What, don’t recognize me?" the newcomer teased, looking at Shangguan You’s bewildered expression, his smile widening. He sat down and then lay on the grass beside her.
"Lan Xuan! What are you doing here?" Shangguan You snapped back to attention. The only other man who could have such a gentle smile, aside from her "brother Qing," was Lan Xuan. She truly hadn’t expected to run into him here again.
"Heh, surely you haven’t forgotten? Han Yachu and I both got into the political science department at Beijing First University. Of course, compared to you, the top scorer of the national college entrance exams, we’re really nothing," Lan Xuan said with self-deprecating humor. Ever since they enrolled at Beijing First University, he and Han Yachu had heard of Shangguan You’s fame. She was renowned not only as the top scorer but also for residing in Room 401, the so-called "beauty camp." Though few knew her true identity, she was always surrounded by men, each more outstanding than the last.
They had initially intended to visit Shangguan You on the first day of university, but that day she was surrounded by a group of handsome men and beautiful women heading towards Chaoyang Hotel. She stood out in the crowd, dazzling and magnetic. Both Lan Xuan and Han Yachu had considered approaching her, but seeing the caliber of men by her side, they both stopped in their tracks. From a corner, they watched her vanish from their sight, as regal as a queen. The gap between them wasn’t just trivial; it was a vast, deep chasm.
After that, even without deliberately inquiring, news about Room 401 kept drifting to their ears. No matter how low a profile she tried to keep, it was impossible at the university.
It was quite unexpected to see Shangguan You here.
"Lan Xuan, are you making fun of me?" Shangguan You placed the book over her face to shield her eyes from the sun and couldn’t help but respond with a slight chuckle to Lan Xuan’s words.
"How could I make fun of you? I’m delighted to have the privilege of lying on the grass and sunbathing with our Beijing First University’s beautiful campus belle. Who else could be so lucky? HAHAHA."
"You came to Beijing, so why didn’t you call me? When I was in B City, you all took such good care of me. Now that you’re in my territory, it’s naturally my turn to treat you," she said.
"Heh, we wanted to come see you, but we were afraid of becoming the school’s public enemy. You have no idea, you’re regarded by all the male students here as their princess. No time like the present. If you want to treat me, how about today?" Lan Xuan spoke softly, his voice comfortingly pleasant.
"Uh, princess? I wasn’t aware of that," Shangguan You replied, genuinely surprised by Lan Xuan’s remark.
