“Does that need my help?” Xun Ji asked puzzledly. “Just apply to the school. Yaoxing’s Dormitory were all donated by major corporations; the room fee is just symbolic.”
Lu Zhou’s gaze was earnest. “I want to bring my little sister to live in Dormitory with me.”
“What?” Xun Ji suspected he’d misheard.
“I know the school rules say non-students can’t live in Dormitory.” Lu Zhou said urgently. “I’ve begged the school several times, but they refused. But Yaoxing is under Xun Corporation—as long as Young Master Xun agrees, the school will naturally approve.”
For the first time, Xun Ji deeply felt the inconvenience of not having the original text. He was completely in the dark about the situation.
“Explain clearly first—why bring your sister to live there?”
Lu Zhou’s eyes seemed to redden further at the corners. “Before, to take care of my sister and mom, I didn’t apply for on-campus housing. Now that Mom’s gone… debt collectors show up at home every day lately. When I’m not there, they go after my sister…”
“She’s still so young—I can’t let her stay in that house anymore!” Lu Zhou gritted his teeth. “I’ll agree to any conditions. Please help me, Young Master Xun!”
He didn’t know why this Little Young Master had given him such an expensive Watch that day. If it was out of pity, he sincerely hoped this fleeting sympathy would last a bit longer.
“What about your dad?” Xun Ji asked.
Lu Zhou’s eyes cooled a few degrees. “I haven’t seen him since that day.”
Xun Ji thought for a moment. Yaoxing’s dorms weren’t like ordinary schools—they were mostly luxury apartment suites, each accommodating two people. Some young masters and misses wanted singles, but to promote fairness, doubles were basically free, while singles required hefty extra fees.
Helping a little girl escape harm from debt collectors counted as a good deed.
Xun Ji nodded to Lu Zhou. “Fine. But you definitely can’t afford a single’s fee. For a double, you’ll need the consent of your roommate.”
Lu Zhou’s eyes lit up. “No worries there—Luo Xunan’s roommate just moved out. He won’t mind me and my sister moving in.”
“No.” Xun Ji refused flatly.
[It’s Luo Xunan again!] the System yelled. [If he lives with the Protagonist, he’ll be there to care for and look after him anytime. The Protagonist will definitely get whitewashed like that!]
Xun Ji clearly thought the same. Lazy as he was, he wouldn’t hand the Task target over willingly.
“Why?” Lu Zhou was clearly anxious. “No one else will agree to room with me, let alone bring…”
“You room with me.” Xun Ji’s tone brooked no refusal. “Bring your sister and move into my Dormitory. Otherwise, no deal.”
Yaoxing’s dorms were mostly luxury apartment suites. But mostly meant there were exceptions.
For example, Xun Ji’s Dormitory wasn’t a suite—it was a standalone apartment. In short, the Villa.
When Lu Zhou had first met him and dared point an Electric Baton at Xun Ji, now stepping into Xun Ji’s Villa, he inexplicably grew reserved.
No wonder—even when Xun Ji first arrived, he’d been shocked by this villa of ultimate luxury and comfort. Though he’d complained to the System that it didn’t belong on a campus, as the beneficiary, Xun Ji quickly got used to and enjoyed it.
Lu Zhou kept his head lowered. “Young Master Xun, maybe we should still…”
“Hello, I’m Xun Ji.” Xun Ji ignored Lu Zhou and crouched down to greet the little girl beside him.
The girl looked about five or six, her flushed little face covered in a thin sheen of sweat—perhaps from the heat. She replied obediently, “Hello, I’m Lu Ting.”
Xun Ji smiled and handed her a Plush Bear. “From now on, we’re roommates. Let’s get along well.”
This was Yaoxing Academy’s mascot merchandise—a golden-brown little bear with various seasonal outfit versions that students loved. The one Xun Ji gave wore a starry suit uniform with a little Schoolbag on its back.
Lu Ting stared at his blond hair for a few seconds, then his face for a few more, took the bear and hugged it, nodding vigorously. “Yeah!”
Xun Ji stood and said to Lu Zhou, “The butler’s and driver’s rooms are on the first floor, my room’s on the second. Besides that, there are three empty rooms—pick whichever you like.”
Lu Zhou seemed about to say something, but Xun Ji waved him off. He was sleepy.
Lu Zhou had gone home after school to pack, who knew what he’d been up to outside. By the time they moved in, it was nearly eleven. Xun Ji had stayed up out of courtesy to greet them, which was already going above and beyond.
Xun Ji yawned and finally said to Lu Zhou, “No rules here except one: don’t disturb me when I’m sleeping.”
Lu Zhou watched his retreating back up the stairs. After a long moment, he softly replied, “Okay.”
[The Host was so hardworking today.]
While Xun Ji comfortably lay in bed playing a pre-sleep mini-game, the System couldn’t help praising again.
[Not only did you make the Protagonist cry, you even brought him home! Now you can bully him whenever you want!]
“Watch your words—what do you mean ‘brought him home’?” Xun Ji’s voice was lazy. “He begged me himself.”
[Exactly, exactly. The Host is sacrificing for the Task. Better to keep this dangerous Protagonist by your side than let that Luo Xunan have him!]
The System’s words reminded Xun Ji.
He won’t secretly get revenge on me in the dark, will he?* Xun Ji wondered suspiciously.
[Don’t worry, Host—the System will protect you!] The System thumped its chest. [From now on, the System will monitor this house. If the Protagonist makes any moves, the System will sound the alarm!]
Xun Ji relaxed and tossed aside his Mobile Phone, burying his face in the soft pillow.
“Hope your alarm never goes off.” Xun Ji mumbled as he drifted into sleep.
Unfortunately, his hope fell through.
That very morning, just past two o’clock, a piercing beeping echoed wildly in Xun Ji’s mind.
