Chapter 229: The Vice President Is Actually My Roommate?!

"Hello, I'm Lin Yue."

Upon entering the dormitory, Lin Yue saw Qiao Xiang—tall and slender with a high ponytail—and another girl with long black straight hair in a short skirt, whom she had already met before registration, and she nodded slightly.

That other girl must be her other roommate, Song Yuxin.

"Hello!" Song Yuxin stepped forward and took Lin Yue's hand, "After the college entrance exam results came out a few days ago, I've heard your name many times!"

"But back then I only knew your name, I hadn't even seen a photo." Song Yuxin looked at Yue Li thoughtfully, then smiled, "Now I finally get to see your true face."

"Since Lin Yue is here too, shouldn't we add each other as friends?" Qiao Xiang waved her phone, smiling, "Let's make a roommate chat group; if anything comes up, we can say it in the group and help each other right away."

As Qiao Xiang finished the latter part of her sentence, the atmosphere in the dormitory became slightly odd for a moment.

After all, among the four girls present, Lin Yue appeared to be the one who needed help the most.

However, this atmosphere lasted only a moment.

Zheng Xiaoyu was the first to open her own QR code, eagerly aiming it at the other three, "Scan me! Scan me!"

Thus, the slight oddness vanished like smoke.

Friendship among the girls came especially fast; after adding each other as friends and forming a roommate group, the four became familiar with each other in a short time and stopped using full names to address one another.

At first, the other three girls were a bit reserved around Lin Yue, but after seeing how open she was about her own situation, they also relaxed considerably.

"Yueyue, you've been wearing your mask all the time—doesn't it make eating inconvenient?" Qiao Xiang finally couldn't hold back and asked the question she'd been curious about for a while.

Upon hearing this question, the other two girls also fell silent and looked curiously at Lin Yue.

They had the same doubt, but it wasn't convenient for them to ask.

After all, what if the reason Lin Yue wears the mask is related to some flaw in her appearance?

Wouldn't that be poking at her sore spot?

Seeing the three girls looking at her curiously, a faint smile appeared on Lin Yue's face beneath the mask, "Actually, I don't need to wear it all the time; I can take it off in the dormitory."

"For some personal reasons, I temporarily don't want too many people to see my face."

"Just a moment."

Saying that, Lin Yue pulled out her phone.

A few seconds later, Zheng Xiaoyu's phone vibrated.

Zheng Xiaoyu glanced at it instinctively, then couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Lin Yue, who had just added her as a friend and only exchanged greetings on the messaging app, suddenly sent her a message.

"Hongye, don't expose me later, okay~"

"What? Don't expose Lin Yue..."

"No!"

"How does Lin Yue know my game name?!"

Zheng Xiaoyu felt a bit dazed; when she lifted her head and saw Lin Yue's smiling, bright-eyed face after taking off the mask, she became even more dazed.

"This face!"

"This face!!"

She almost blurted out the two words "Yue Li," but instantly recalled Lin Yue's private message to her and forced herself to stop.

"No… the Vice President is actually my roommate?!"

"What kind of miraculous development is this?!"

Meanwhile, Qiao Xiang and Song Yuxin couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yueyue, you're so pretty!" Qiao Xiang sucked in a breath of cold air, quickly walked up to Lin Yue, poked her soft cheeks, and her eyes gradually lit up.

She had braced herself for the worst, but she hadn't expected Lin Yue's face beneath the mask to be completely different from what she imagined!

"Now I understand why you wear the mask." Song Yuxin shook her head helplessly, "If you didn't wear it, the three of us going out with you would be completely outshone by you."

"That's an exaggeration." Lin Yue smiled faintly, then her expression grew more serious, "Please keep this a secret for me; for now I don't want my appearance to attract too much attention."

Qiao Xiang and Song Yuxin nodded, thinking Lin Yue just wanted to act low-key because her looks were too outstanding, and didn't take it to heart.

But Zheng Xiaoyu, hearing this on the other side, was startled.

"Right," she almost forgot—Yue Li is not only the Vice President of her guild, but also one of only two world‑class Hall of Fame players worldwide.

This player is watched by the whole world, and to this day no one has uncovered Yue Li's true identity.

And Lin Yue, just like her, looks basically the same in reality and in the Dream World.

If Lin Yue's appearance attracted a lot of attention, her identity would be impossible to hide.

Thinking of those dire consequences, Zheng Xiaoyu's expression turned serious instantly, and she nodded firmly, "Don't worry, I absolutely will not let anyone know your appearance!"

Her near‑oath‑like seriousness made Qiao Xiang and Song Yuxin unable to help but glance at her in surprise.

"Then thank you so much." Lin Yue took Zheng Xiaoyu's hand and gave it a quiet squeeze.

"Yueyue, does that mean you can only eat takeout from the cafeteria in the dorm from now on?" Qiao Xiang asked concernedly.

"Mm." Lin Yue nodded, "Because of my condition, I need to eat lightly; getting takeout from the cafeteria is fine for everyday."

"That's a shame." Qiao Xiang said with a hint of regret, "I was planning for us to have a group dinner tonight."

"A dinner?" Song Yuxin glanced at Qiao Xiang in surprise, "Where? Just us?"

"There's a pretty good barbecue place outside the west school gate." Qiao Xiang smiled and continued, "Besides us, I have a close high‑school friend; we've arranged for each of us to bring our roommates to dinner together, making it a small dormitory mixer."

"He's in the Superhuman Combat Specialty, and I've heard there are plenty of handsome guys in that program!"

Hearing that, Song Yuxin's face showed a hint of interest, "Sure, count me in."

"I…" Zheng Xiaoyu's expression became a bit troubled.

It sounds fun, but if she also went, the dorm would be left with only Lin Yue, and if Lin Yue needed any help…

"Xiaoyu, come with us." Seeing Zheng Xiaoyu's hesitation, Lin Yue chuckled and said, "When Xiangxiang mentioned the barbecue earlier, I saw you swallowing your saliva."

"No way!" Zheng Xiaoyu felt a bit embarrassed.

Because she really just swallowed.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself." She lightly tapped Zheng Xiaoyu's hand, Lin Yue was speechless, "Although we have limited mobility, we are extraordinary beings!"

This reminded Zheng Xiaoyu.

Thinking of the girl before him who had difficulty moving yet was a hall-of-fame level player, Zheng Xiaoyu felt much more relieved all at once, and thus leaned toward going to see.

"Then, I'll go take a look too."

"Yueyue, if you need any help, just call me anytime!"

"Don't worry." Lin Yue's smile grew deeper at the corners of her mouth.

"When I really need help, I won't be polite."

——

Finally finished.

Spent half an afternoon, Qin Chuan smoothly completed all the procedures for freshman registration, holding a bag of documents, and walked toward the dormitory building.

The phone rang at just the right moment; seeing the note "Feng Yin" on the caller ID, Qin Chuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This seems to be the first time the other party directly called him.

Choosing to answer, Qin Chuan put the phone to his ear.

Soon, Feng Yin's voice came from the other end.

"We have made new progress in our research on the dungeon passage."

Qin Chuan's expression became a bit more solemn.

This really needs to be listened to carefully.
