A Chilly Encounter

Xi Yao heard the noise behind her and realized there was an extra person in the dormitory.

Her light-colored, shoulder-length bob, a face as exquisite as a doll, and a slender, upright figure made her resemble a certain character from a manga called Yan Yizhe.

Most importantly, her aura was similar too—her expression was cold and aloof. She entered without a word, silently making her bed as if she weren’t in the same space as anyone else.

But she was truly beautiful.

Xi Yao estimated that, if not for her presence, this ‘three-nothing’ girl would surely be the class beauty of Humanities Class 2.

However, since she was here, well… let’s just say it without asking, it was definitely a plus for the dorm.

“Hi,” Xi Yao waved her little hand, “I’m Xi Yao.”

The ‘three-nothing’ girl glanced up, hesitated for a few seconds, and then uttered two words: “Jiang Li.”

After that, she ignored Xi Yao completely, continuing to make her bed with her head down.

How cold she is, Xi Yao thought.

Xi Yao didn’t try to continue the conversation, after all, it was their first day, and they weren’t familiar with each other. As roommates and classmates, they would have plenty of time to get to know each other.

Xi Yao wondered if Jiang Li was always so cold or if something was bothering her.

Lost in thought, Xi Yao slowed down her own bed-making. Jiang Li, who had started later, finished before her.

When the girl finally finished making her bed and sat on it, catching her breath, Jiang Li was no longer in the room. She must have gone out to buy water.

“Let me check the schedule, register, assign classes, assign dorms, register information, make beds, buy necessary supplies…” Xi Yao was looking at a pinned post on the school forum, a guide to the first day of school for new students, summarized by the upperclassmen.

All the tasks were completed, and the necessary supplies were brought from home.

“Since everything is taken care of and I’ve worked hard,” Xi Yao took out her laptop from her bag, “I’ll take a break and play a bit.”

Yes, a laptop. In Wenlu Academy, students were allowed to bring and use computers, something unthinkable in her previous life.

“The school life in this world,” the girl sighed, “is truly wonderful.”

She connected to the internet, completed her daily tasks, and casually opened her QQ group. Seeing someone posting pictures, Xi Yao perked up.

The quality of today’s 2D images was excellent. The Raiden milk, the Archen black tights, the Kaoru swimsuit, this…

If she were at home, she would definitely have to draw a prize.

Xi Yao was happily browsing when she suddenly heard a cold voice behind her: “What are you looking at?”

Besides being cold, it also sounded a bit disdainful.

“Just, looking at pictures,” Xi Yao replied innocently, “2D images.”

“Do you like looking at pictures of girls?” Jiang Li asked.

Xi Yao was taken aback and countered, “Do you like looking at pictures of boys?”

“I don’t look at such images.” Jiang Li replied coldly, hesitating for a moment before adding, “I just think it’s not good for girls to look at pictures of other girls. I’m not talking about you specifically.”

Oh?

Xi Yao crossed her arms and said calmly, “It seems this classmate has a deep prejudice against girls who like other girls.”

Especially those with large chests and cute appearances, like you.

Jiang Li thought this but said, “I’m sorry, I got carried away.”

Although her tone was still cold with a hint of disdain.

Xi Yao was confused, not understanding her roommate’s intentions. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Jiang Li leave the dorm to cool off outside.

“What a strange girl.”

Forget it, she’ll continue watching what she was looking at. After all, starting tomorrow, there won’t be much free time with classes beginning.

Jiang Li walked through the bustling corridor, surrounded by lively students. Her leisurely walking figure seemed out of place.

She sighed softly.

She had indeed overreacted, saying such things to a roommate she barely knew. But…

Jiang Li had an older sister, Jiang Wan, who graduated from the Medical Department last year. Because Wenlu Academy had a good environment and benefits, she accepted the academy’s offer to intern as a school doctor in the high school department.

The six-month internship period passed quickly, and she performed well. According to Wenlu Academy’s tradition, she could return to the university department for academic research.

This was the dream of every medical student.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Jiang Wan refused the promotion, choosing to stay on as a school doctor, saying she was still young and could afford to train clinically for two more years.

This reason, no matter how one heard it, made no sense. Hence, the family suspected that Jiang Wan might be staying to take care of her younger sister, Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, who was just starting her sophomore year, fit this timeline perfectly.

So Jiang Li approached her sister and advised her not to stay for her sake but to return to the university department, where a brighter future awaited.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan confided in her, “I’m sorry, Li. I’m not staying because of you. It’s because… I’ve fallen for a girl.”

Jiang Li: “??????????”

According to her sister, this girl was incredibly cute, extremely beautiful, with a large chest, and soft to the touch. Although shy and not often smiling, when she did, she must be incredibly adorable.

Jiang Wan’s eyes sparkled with joy as she spoke, but Jiang Li felt a twinge of displeasure.

Had her sister chosen to stay as a school doctor for such a trivial reason?

So she asked why it was necessary to be a school doctor, suggesting that even if she returned to the university, she could visit the girl during vacations.

Jiang Wan blushed slightly and explained that she and the girl hadn’t confessed or started dating. They were in the early stages of a secret crush. Only by staying as a school doctor could she have more chances to meet her.

This infuriated Jiang Li.

It was unforgivable to let her sister “waste” two years for this reason, and she even blamed the girl for it.

Of course, her sister was so outstanding that she wouldn’t face any significant issues. It must be the girl who bewitched her sister, clouding her judgment.

She wanted to find this despicable big-breasted girl and teach her a lesson.

Despite this, Jiang Li knew nothing about the suspect, only gathering clues from her sister’s descriptions.

First, she must be extremely beautiful and cute, and second, she had a large chest.

Emmmm… It sounded just like her new roommate.

Before she knew it, Jiang Li had returned to the dorm. She opened the door.

“Hahahahahahaha,” her roommate was playing a game, chatting happily with her teammates, “Ey, that’s some brilliant gunplay! The enemy is all over the place, it’s hilarious!”

Jiang Li remembered her sister describing the girl as shy, rarely seen smiling.

Emmmmm, so it shouldn’t be her roommate, who laughs so easily.
