Prologue, the Coin Lady has arrived

Ah? Looking in the direction of my finger in October, I realized there was another bed beside me, but it lacked soft blankets and pillows, lying empty on the rough wooden planks.

Ghost ah

Sigh, should we continue to move forward and make a noble sacrifice, or should we return home while it is not yet completely dark...

However, this scene becomes somewhat different at the end of the street. A row of old red-brick villas stands proudly there, while a few flickering streetlights cast their light through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the grayish walls of the villas. A weathered brass plaque, adorned with a few bold black characters, dances gracefully— "Happiness Lane"

The first aid care was completed, and Xiong Xing'er clapped her hands in accomplishment, picked up a teapot that had been prepared on the coffee table, and poured a cup for Shi Yue Man Man, gently smiling as she said: "You must be very tired, have a cup of tea and take a break for a while"

Seeing Xiong Xing'er acting affectionately and coquettishly towards Xiao Chi, Prince Jin wrinkled his nose in jealousy

Lin Shiyue, feeling dizzy, steadied herself and slowly raised her head: the delicate white ankles, the long and exquisite calves, the tight shorts hugging her graceful curves, the full lines of her chest, and the refined collarbone... Finally, her gaze settled on a face that was smooth yet exceptionally dark, adorned with a gentle smile.

Although he was already full and his stomach was slightly aching, for some reason, in the presence of the beautiful Xiong Xing'er, Lin Shiyue felt that he could never utter the word "NO".

"No, no, what I mean is... that it's convenient..." October repeatedly waved her hand, pointing at her stomach and speaking painfully, word by word.

Ah! ... ... Thank you, Uncle Bear, for your concern, goodbye

"Alright, that's fine... It is truly impolite of me to keep asking you to pour me water!" October said, feeling embarrassed as she noticed Xiong Xing'er continuously serving her.

Xiong Xing'er shouted at him without any hesitation: "So what if you're bare-bottomed? I've seen it before!"

Ah ... ... Huh ... ...

Even the blame sounded like a playful complaint, captivating Lin Shiyue as if she had fallen into a cloud of mist, while simultaneously causing her to resent herself

Xiong Xing'er turned around in disbelief, staring at Lin Shiyue, who was already sleeping soundly with a face full of happiness and satisfaction, snoring softly. She touched her face, which was about to become stiff, and the facial mask fell to the ground with a thud

Xiao Chi said softly, his pair of eyes looking at Xiong Xing'er with a smile that was not quite a smile.

The task was beautifully completed, so hurry up and bring out the reward! The young man raised the high-end digital camera in his hand, proudly playing with it back and forth.

Fortunately, heaven has not completely abandoned me

Whenever standing at such a difficult crossroads, Lin Shiyue habitually takes out a delicate silver coin from her pocket: "Well, the old rule! The lion on the front represents moving forward; the starfish on the back represents retreating! Let's leave everything to fate!"

Who would have thought, gurgle gurgle—my stomach is once again in turmoil!

What else is there to say about living with outstanding individuals, that one will surely achieve great success in the future... However, my father, who once lived with the excellent classmate Principal Xiong, has spent his entire life as a minor character, and the words he spoke...

... ...

The coin seemed to be deliberately teasing Lin Shiyue, not only refusing to stop for a long time, but even making a small turn. Suddenly, Lin Shiyue felt a void beneath her feet as she followed closely behind.

The long journey and worries about the future throughout the afternoon had indeed left Lin Shiyue feeling somewhat physically and mentally exhausted. Now, the timely care from a beautiful woman made Lin Shiyue's heart feel as if it had been melted, infused with a warm breath.

Construction site ... ... deep grass ... ...

With a bang, the figure of the young girl suddenly vanished from the road

When it comes to happiness, Xiong Xing'er covered her mouth with her hand and said with a joyful expression: "I can't believe we have so much in common, look at how destined we are! In October, I will give you a housewarming gift, what do you want the most right now?"

Wow! What a beautiful bed

In October, I couldn't help but recall the words my father had boasted about before. At this moment, facing the real roommate—Principal Xiong's precious daughter, Xiong Xing'er—I felt for the first time that my father's expressions were so close to reality

He certainly went to take care of the task you arranged for him. Xiao Chi glanced out the window at the desolate construction site and the lush grass with an air of amusement.

Lin Shiyue anxiously watched the coin roll away, politely responding before abruptly hanging up the phone with a snap, and hurriedly chased after the coin.

Creaking—Even though I have long passed the age of twenty-eight, I still cannot fathom the mysteries of fate, can I?

Xiao Chi, stop pretending to be innocent!" Xiong Xing'er's originally gentle and kind face suddenly changed expression. After her prank was exposed, she shot him a glare, completely abandoning her earlier elegance and composure, and casually propped her long legs on the coffee table. "By the way, where is he?"

She was still half-squatting, swaying as she walked forward, occasionally pulling hard on the object in her hand—what had been making the creaking sound was actually a large suitcase that she was dragging firmly. As she walked, she continued to talk to herself.

On October 1st, with a face full of embarrassment, his features twisted in pain, he grinned and said to Xiong Xing'er: "Um... Xing'er... I, I need to, uh, take care of something..."

Zila—Zila—

I apologize for the inconvenience

The slanted bangs fell over the boy's smooth forehead, and his features were surprisingly more delicate and beautiful than those of a girl. Beneath his slender eyelashes, a pair of narrow eyes seemed to regard everything with a sense of indifference and weariness. When his gaze landed on the teacup, he faintly curled his lips, but his slightly cold voice sounded both mocking and sharp: "Heh, no need to exert yourself too much. I certainly do not wish to... be exposed to the world."

Which is more convenient? Are you hungry and want to eat instant noodles?" Xiong Xing'er blinked her innocent and puzzled big eyes and asked again with concern

Lin Shiyue ... ? ... How could you perceive such a girl as a ghost when she is merely applying the most popular black mud mask of the moment ? !

Ah—it's over, it seems I am about to... about to...

Xiong Xing'er couldn't be bothered to glance at him again and casually lifted the teacup that was originally handed to Xiao Chi in front of the young man: "Crown Prince Jin, please accept your reward!"

Lin Shiyue gazed at Xiong Xing'er in admiration for a while, then curiously and excitedly turned her attention to the small villa she was in: the living room on the first floor, though not large, had a narrow staircase at the back left leading to the second floor, which appeared somewhat mysterious in the dark without any lights on. In front of her, a large LCD screen was mounted on the wall, and amidst the powerful music, the tall and slender European and American models on the runway of the latest Spring/Summer Paris Fashion Week were striking and swaying with their beautiful figures

In October, she was momentarily taken aback, a flush rising to her cheeks, and she hurriedly and respectfully patted down the wrinkled bedspread. Instantly, several clearly visible gray paw prints appeared on the pristine white sheets, causing the elegant brows of Xiong Xing'er to twitch involuntarily a few times

Xiong Xing'er smiled warmly as she pointed to the empty bed, her eyes filled with deep apologies: "Since your arrival was so sudden, I haven't had the chance to prepare the bedding for you, I truly apologize! How about you just..."

However, at the critical moment, the mobile phone that Lin Shiyue had been gripping tightly in her hand suddenly rang loudly. The abrupt and piercing ringtone startled her, causing her to jump up in shock and stare at the phone, where the words "Uncle Xiong is calling" prominently appeared on the screen

In early autumn, a sound as faint as a mosquito suddenly echoed through the dusk streets. A few scattered sycamore trees by the roadside swayed in the wind, their leaves rustling, as if responding to this lament.

Alright, in a few days, there will be no more issues

Oh... I am truly, truly sorry... It was my mistake...

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." In October, I gritted my teeth and held on, forcing out a hint of an awkward smile

Forget it, there is no need to worry about so much now

"It's fine, I'll just make do and sleep for one night, and tomorrow I'll go buy a blanket or something," said October, as she lay down fully clothed on the hard bed, preparing to sleep, under the incredulous gaze of Xiong Xing'er.

"You say I am malicious?" Xiong Xing'er immediately interrupted Jin Taizi's clamor, raising an eyebrow in impatience and said, "The broken streetlight, the missing manhole cover, and the bricks piled up beside them... Don't tell me these matters have nothing to do with you two!"

In October, her gaze was drawn to a meticulously made single bed, adorned with fluffy bedding resembling a vast expanse of white clouds. In an instant, she dove headfirst into the soft white comforter, her furry head rubbing vigorously against the fabric, as a delightful floral fragrance wafted through the air: "Mmm... it smells so good... mmm... so soft! How comfortable!"

As she watched October incessantly ramble on like Xianglin's wife, Xiong Xing'er could not help but roll her eyes in exasperation, yet she still gently offered her comfort:

After exerting tremendous effort, Lin Shiyue, covered in mud, finally crawled out of the sewer. His frown transformed into a faint smile of relief upon catching sight of a coin lying not far away.

The final decision is about to be revealed

However, how can one make such an unpleasant request in front of the beautiful and noble new roommate

Creak—creak—life, is it always so difficult to determine fortune and misfortune?

October is deeply moving and chaotic

She gratefully lifted the cup and drank it all in one go

Indeed, these people are truly lacking in virtue... An uncovered manhole is extremely dangerous. Come, applying the medicine will sting a bit, so you must endure it!

She wanted to pick up the coin, but unexpectedly, as she took her first step, she stumbled over several red bricks stacked in the dark corner by the well. Her body suddenly lost balance, lunging forward, toppling over, and kneeling on one knee

A furtive figure sat in front of a white coffee table, anxiously watching the person who was applying medicine for them

Kum Xing'er, your father truly does not give up, constantly sending tenants to your shared apartment where you wish to study in peace. It has been three months since the last person who wanted to stay here was driven away. Just in time, Xing'er has not had much fun, and finally, a toy has arrived to relieve her boredom

Oh, so it is this "convenience"! However... the toilet in my home happens to be broken and cannot be used. I wonder if I can borrow the restroom from my neighbor, but it is too late now, you know...

Oh dear, you shouldn't feel too sad. It's always like this when you go out; there are bound to be some unsatisfactory aspects!" Xiong Xing'er suppressed the smile on her face as she walked to the table to pick up a few facial masks, offering her understanding and comforting words.

This is an area designated for demolition. On both sides of the street, several buildings that have not yet been fully demolished stand alone, with walls covered in scaffolding resembling complex molecular models, densely clinging to the structures. The vacant lot is piled high with construction materials, and weeds grow wildly, thriving in this state of semi-abandonment that has characterized the journey thus far

It is truly hard to believe

Of course ...! ... Send me a restroom that can relieve my suffering

"It's alright, you are a guest, it is only right to take care of you. I was just too tired earlier, please drink some more hot tea!" Xiong Xing'er said with a generous smile, shaking her head. She keenly noticed that Lin Shiyue's teacup was empty and quickly got up to refill it, urging her to drink several more cups.

I did this for you | Engaging in such shameless acts, yet I do not see you holding my arm and saying a few kind words. Truly a thankless task! Boring!

The deserted road maintained an awkward silence for half a minute, after which a trembling hand suddenly emerged from the manhole.

Xiong Xing'er, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings, meticulously arranged a large number of bottles and jars labeled in English, Japanese, and French on the table. She first used a cotton pad to gently apply toner to her facial skin, then, like playing the piano, she applied eye essence. Following that, she poured out essence, moisturizer, and night cream from exquisite little bottles, layering them on evenly, one after another.

Is it not so? Although it is still dusk, the dense shadows of the trees have obscured the remaining light, and Lin Shiyue gazed at the small stretch of road leading to the villa, which had become shrouded in darkness. It seems that heaven is also hinting at the impending dark journey, which is as uncertain and unpredictable as the future ahead.

Wow, Xing'er, this dormitory is truly beautiful!" October couldn't help but exclaim, "I can hardly imagine that I will be living in such a beautiful place in the future, together with someone as lovely as you!

Yes, I am also very happy to be living with October! Let's have another drink, for beauty!" Saying this, Xiong Xing'er enthusiastically poured water into the teacup.

Jet black? Indeed, it is jet black, an eerie smile even darker than the black-faced Bao Gong in Peking opera!

A drop of water splashed down onto the tip of Lin Shiyue's nose, who was just about to fall asleep on the bed.

Lin Shiyue's pale face twisted in distress, her voice anxious and tinged with tears: "Excuse me... could you please tell me where the restroom is? I really can't hold it any longer... I need to go..."

Oh dear, I am truly sorry, I accidentally applied too much force... October, are you alright?" Xiong Xing'er said with a face full of guilt, squeezing the alcohol cotton, her innocent expression made one feel that blaming her was nothing short of a crime

Alright, alright, can you two not be so noisy when you're together... Hurry back to the room, otherwise when Lin Shiyue comes back, we'll be caught!" Xiao Chi quickly grabbed the approaching Golden Prince, who was ready to start a big fight, and forcibly dragged him towards the inner room.

The Golden Prince, feeling quite pleased, was just about to take it when he focused his gaze and immediately cried out, "You are truly a wicked woman! I toil for you like a beast of burden, and yet you give me this water laced with a laxative!"

The clean and sweet sound resembles the clear spring water gushing between the mountain rocks, yet it is interspersed with a cadence that reflects the passage of time. As it mingles with the wind, it transforms into a series of trembling tones, further accompanied by strange crashing sounds that add an eerie touch to the tranquil environment

You ... ...

Wow...! I never expected that witnessing the skincare routine of a stunning beauty up close would be such a delightful experience! No wonder the ancients said, "Beauty is a feast for the eyes"; today I have truly come to appreciate this!

Ah... it hurts!

The impulse was interrupted by a sudden sharp pain, and in October, the pain caused my features to contort, with tears nearly spilling out.

The master of the voice, however, remains completely indifferent

October, however, seems unable to shake off the recent nightmare, burying its head and muttering to itself: "Could that have been a peeping Tom... a pervert... No, no, no! How could I suddenly encounter a pervert in the dead of night? No, no, no! If it wasn't a pervert, then why would it come close when I was... No, no, no! The grass over there is so thick... it must be a wolf! But... wolves have green eyes, yet I clearly saw white light... when it came close. No, no, no! The grass over there is so thick... it must be a wolf! But... wolves have green eyes, yet I clearly saw white light...

That is my destination, and it will also be the dormitory where I will reside in the future

I have never seen such a beautiful girl before

Who is it, who is so lacking in morals! Why steal anything at all, yet they shamelessly steal the manhole covers!

Xing'er is truly a good person

Wuwuwu— I should never have come here! When Lin Shiyue was overwhelmed with flying birds in her hair and tears flowing like seaweed, the intricately carved mahogany door was suddenly opened without a sound

"Alright, it must be that you are too tired and are experiencing hallucinations. Let me take you to the room to rest," she said gracefully, taking the initiative to lead Lin Shiyue upstairs to the bedroom. "You will be sleeping in the same room as me."

He is tall and robust, dressed in what appears to be a casual sports outfit, but those with an eye for quality can tell at a glance that the entire ensemble is quite expensive. His hair is dyed a short and fluffy flaxen color, yet discerning individuals can certainly see that this seemingly casual and messy style is also the work of a renowned stylist from a high-end hair salon, and even a casual tousle with hair gel would cost over a thousand.

Hmm

On October 1st, I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Xiong Xing'er with her bright, sparkling eyes, yet she helplessly pointed at the ceiling and said, "I forgot to tell you that there is still a leak in the position above this bed."

The affairs of the world are difficult to predict. Just a few days ago, I was sitting comfortably at home, and now I have fallen into such a desolate situation... She shook her head and looked around.

"What happened?" Xiong Xing'er returned to a gentle demeanor, asking softly with concern, yet discreetly freeing herself from Lin Shiyue's embrace.

In October, she turned her head in a daze and saw Xiong Xing'er holding onto her collar with one hand, her face still radiating a sweet and kind smile, yet for some reason, it appeared slightly stiff. With her other delicate hand, she pointed to the side and said slowly, "That one is your bed."

I only did it because I thought it was fun!" Jin Taizi shrugged indifferently and sat down cross-legged with a grin.

Indeed, within less than a minute, a figure rushed into the room as if being chased by a ghost, and tightly embraced Xiong Xing'er.

Although it was nighttime, the youth who strode into the room seemed to bring with him the fervent sunlight of the day.

The center of the living room is completely occupied by a black rectangular coffee table, which is cluttered with an array of open fashion magazines; variously packaged skincare products, face masks, sliced tomatoes, and cucumbers are scattered about...

Hahaha! Xiong Xing'er, your acting skills are truly getting better and better! Not participating in the Oscar Best Actress nomination would definitely be a loss for you! Clearly, you are a thorny rose, yet you insist on disguising yourself as a harmless lily! Just as the conversation was unfolding, before the figure had even appeared, a hearty laughter had already echoed in.

No, I can no longer endure it...

Xiong Xing'er awkwardly pointed to the dark outside the house, a flush of embarrassment spreading across her face: "If you really can't hold it in and don't mind, we can only resolve it on the construction site outside... The grass is quite tall there, so we should not be discovered."

"Hehe, it's October, are you almost at the dormitory? I have already arranged for Xing'er to meet you at the dormitory entrance..." As soon as I connected the call, Uncle Xiong's enthusiastic voice came through.

How terrifying... really, how terrifying...

Faced with her warm hospitality, I could only drink tea from one cup to another, but the pain in my stomach not only did not lessen, but instead intensified, as if my intestines were twisted together in discomfort

Sigh, thinking back to when my father whimsically decided to have me, Lin Shiyue, transfer schools, it was nothing but a pretext for personal vendetta and settling scores... It must be because I caught him sneaking a smoke in the bathroom last time, and I forced him to worship the portrait of Lin Zexu in the history textbook, listening to my earnest recounting of the entire "Destruction of Opium at Humen" incident for a full hour. He then concocted a reason about prioritizing my future to send me off to a new key high school...

The exquisitely delicate small face, devoid of any embellishment, appears under the illumination as if it were made of lustrous and elegant white porcelain. The areas not touched by light form shadows, creating a contrast that accentuates the three-dimensionality of the features. The eyes are bright and dark, with the outer corners slightly raised, exuding a charming yet proud demeanor; however, at this moment, the tenderness and concern in her gaze flow like a gentle stream. Even the long, ivory-like fingers, smooth and warm, are meticulously adorned with beautiful white lace patterns on the nails. The eyes are bright and dark, with the outer corners slightly raised, exuding a charming yet proud demeanor; however, at this moment, the tenderness and concern in her gaze flow like a gentle stream. Even the long, ivory-like fingers, smooth and warm, are meticulously adorned with beautiful white lace patterns on the nails.

You are Lin Shiyue, aren't you? Your entrance is truly special; why such a grand gesture?

Hey, are you kidding me? Just now you wanted to leave me bare-bottomed in the wilderness, and now... Hmph, you've always known how to boss me around since we were kids!" The Crown Prince was so angry that his face turned green, and with a loud bang, he slammed the camera down on the coffee table

"Is it convenient?" Xiong Xing'er was slightly taken aback, but then she understood and smiled, "There is nothing inconvenient about it. I am quite easygoing. My father instructed me to take good care of you, so rest assured, from now on, we will be like close sisters!"

A perfectly refined girl down to her nails, just like a young and noble royal princess from a movie

It's just a minor injury, why have you suddenly become so delicate? Is it because you've been watching the princess-like Xiong Xing'er and have become precious yourself?

No matter what, nothing can compare to the warmth of home... It's really troublesome; being out and unable to sleep well is absolutely unacceptable. I think you should..." Without hearing any response, Xiong Xing'er continued to speak softly with a smile, but before she could finish her sentence, a faint sound had already emerged in the room.

Suddenly, a powerful force seized her collar and violently pulled her up from the bed

"It's alright, it's alright, just make do with it." October rolls clumsily like a silkworm baby, avoiding the leaking areas, curling up its body to continue sleeping

A strange sound came from above, and before I could look up, the remaining lights of several street lamps unexpectedly extinguished, signaling their strike

The girl Lin Shiyue, dragging her suitcase, paused with a long sigh reminiscent of the Qingyi role in Peking opera, gazing at the first duplex villa with white walls and a red roof at the entrance of the alley

Hello, Uncle Bear! Yes, I have already reached the door..." Lin Shiyue said obediently and respectfully, while answering the phone and extending her palm to catch the coin that was falling like a shooting star. Unexpectedly, it cunningly slipped through her fingers and rolled away with a clinking sound.

Xiong Xing'er's room is located on the second floor, but strangely, it is not the master bedroom with a private bathroom and balcony. Even so, Lin Shiyue has already been enveloped by a whirlwind of happiness.

Bang! The head violently collided with a carved mahogany door due to inertia

Thank you, thank you

Even the sparrows that originally played on the vacant lot of the demolition site by the street could not help but shiver with disgust and quickly flapped their wings to fly away

Xiong Xing'er glanced at Lin Shiyue, whose last trembling legs formed an inward eight shape, and sat calmly in place, as if nothing had just happened. She continued to sit elegantly and charmingly on the sofa, extending her hand to gently pour tea into another teacup, which she handed to a young man who appeared beside her

Forward or backward

"Boring conversation..." Xiong Xing'er rolled her eyes, completely ignoring Jin Taizi's protests. She leaned her head on Xiao Chi's shoulder and smiled, saying, "I just changed into a new set of underwear, could you help me wash it clean?"

Okay, it hurts a lot...

Ah, even the divination is so unsuccessful, is it ultimately the front side or the back side!

Unexpectedly, Xiong Xing'er eagerly held onto Shiyue's hand and engaged in conversation, asking about blood type, zodiac signs, hobbies, and favorite celebrities one by one. Shiyue endured the abdominal pain and answered honestly.

Ring ring ring—ring ring ring—

"That's right, you understand me the best, Xiao Chi!" Xiong Xing'er exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Xiao Chi's arm, blinking her thick eyelashes, her beautiful big eyes filled with admiration and joy

In October, dragging the last half of his life, he stood up and bowed deeply to Xiong Xing'er with heartfelt apologies, his face flushed red as if it were about to explode. He turned around, cradling his backside, and rushed out the door

A room as perfect as its owner. The milky-white furniture and the pink wallpaper adorned with roses reflect a fairy-tale-like European romantic atmosphere. The walls of the bedroom are filled with various beautifully posed photographs of bears and apricots, along with several full-body posters of international supermodels. The table is cluttered with a variety of skincare products, and beside the wardrobe, a three-tier shoe rack displays a dozen pairs of high-heeled shoes in different styles.

Extend your hand and gently flick the coin up

Like a slow-motion close-up in a film, it rotates, slowly, and fatefully traces an arc in mid-air, the silver coin ascends to the apex of its parabolic trajectory, as if guided by the hand of fate, and then gently descends...

At this moment, Xiong Xing'er was holding a cotton swab in her outstanding hands, meticulously disinfecting her wound. October felt a mix of fear and excitement, not knowing why there was an impulse to kneel down.

Lin Shiyue held her breath, her eyes suddenly widening to their fullest as she stared intently at the other person. After a long pause, she finally let out a hoarse scream that erupted from the depths of her throat!

I heard that the principal of Sicheng High School is an alumnus of my father. Although my father patted his withered chest and vowed how illustrious and formidable Principal Xiong is, he also boasted about my future roommate—Principal Xiong's daughter. Not only does she come from a scholarly family and possess a kind and gentle nature, but what is even more commendable is that despite being the school beauty of Sicheng with an angelic face and a model figure, she maintains her integrity and has never engaged with boys, standing in stark contrast to those frivolous pretty girls.
