Chapter 23: Fated Rivals! Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue Share a Dormitory!

Hearing Lin Tianming's explanation, Ye Qingxue's smile returned. She decided not to dwell on Feng Lan trying to steal her boyfriend and instead continued chatting happily with Lin Tianming on their way.

It didn’t take long before Ye Qingxue, accompanied by Lin Tianming, arrived at her dormitory building.

"Rose Garden... This is it, Tianming-gege!"

Ye Qingxue confirmed the name on her phone, checking the accommodation information sent by the Imperial Capital University in advance. Assured that this was her dormitory, she stopped.

Lin Tianming nodded. "I remember you packed your bedding, clothes, and daily necessities and sent them to this dormitory building before the start of the school year, right?"

Ye Qingxue nodded affirmatively. "Yes, Tianming-gege. I saw that Imperial Capital University allowed us to send things in advance, so I packed everything into a suitcase and sent it to the Rose Garden! The school authorities said we could pick up our parcels from the dormitory's reception office after checking in."

"Good that you didn't forget. Let's go find your suitcase and carry it to your room!"

With that, Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue walked into the Rose Garden.

Just inside the entrance, on the left, was the dormitory supervisor's office.

Through the glass window, they could see numerous suitcases of various sizes and colors, as expected in a girls' dormitory. Most of the suitcases seemed smaller than those typically used by boys.

"Hello, Auntie! I'm here to pick up my suitcase!"

Ye Qingxue greeted the dorm supervisor cheerfully as she entered the office.

The dorm supervisor looked up, her mood brightened by Ye Qingxue's sweet voice. However, her expression darkened upon seeing Lin Tianming behind her.

"No boys allowed in the girls' dormitory!"

Seeing the stern look on the dorm supervisor's face, Ye Qingxue explained, "Auntie, today is the first day of school, and everyone is busy moving things. This boy is my boyfriend, and he came to help me carry my heavy suitcase into my room. Could you please allow him just this once?"

The dorm supervisor pretended to ponder this request seriously. In previous years, some boys had entered the girls' dormitory on the first day under the pretext of helping to move things. As long as Lin Tianming left after moving the suitcase and did nothing else, a slight relaxation of the rules seemed acceptable.

With this in mind, the dorm supervisor glanced at Lin Tianming again.

Noticing her gaze, Lin Tianming gave the dorm supervisor a kind smile. His youthful, handsome face easily softened the old lady's stern demeanor.

This girl's boyfriend is quite good-looking, even more so than those young idols on TV!

Though her expression remained stern, the dorm supervisor inwardly praised Lin Tianming's looks.

Deciding to let Lin Tianming help, the dorm supervisor said sternly, "Young man, remember, after moving the things, leave immediately!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue said in unison, their politeness pleasing the dorm supervisor.

With Lin Tianming's help, Ye Qingxue quickly found her suitcase in the reception office.

"Tianming-gege, this is my suitcase! We can go upstairs now! I live on the fourth floor!"

"Alright, let's go up then! Goodbye, Auntie!"

Before heading upstairs, Lin Tianming politely bid the dorm supervisor farewell.

As they ascended, the previously stern-faced dorm supervisor smiled.

"This young man is quite polite, handsome, and sweet-talking. No wonder that girl is so fond of him!"

Lin Tianming carried Ye Qingxue's suitcase to the fourth floor, and after a short search, they found her dorm room.

"This is it. Oh... I was about to use the key given by the dorm supervisor... Why is the door already open?"

Ye Qingxue looked puzzled at the slightly ajar door.

Lin Tianming suggested, "Maybe someone arrived before you. Qingxue, since the door is open, let's go in!"

"Okay, Tianming-gege, let's go in. Maybe we can meet the roommate I'll be living with for the next four years! You can introduce yourselves!"

Ye Qingxue nodded and pushed open the half-closed door, walking in.

Imperial Capital University's dormitories housed two people per room. As Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue entered, they saw that one bed was already made up with sheets and blankets. However, the room was empty except for them.

Ye Qingxue frowned slightly at the neatly made bed. "The bed is made... but where's the person?"

Lin Tianming guessed, "Maybe she stepped out for something. Qingxue, it's probably better this way. If she saw a boy in here, she might get startled. Let's quickly make your bed, and I'll leave."

"Okay... Tianming-gege, thank you for your help!"

[This life, Tianming-gege is so good to me! He didn't abandon me and takes care of me so attentively!]

Hearing Ye Qingxue's grateful thoughts, Lin Tianming smiled happily.

With his help, Ye Qingxue quickly made her bed.

"Whew... finally done! Thank you, Tianming-gege!"

"Don't mention it, Qingxue. We've grown up together as childhood friends and now as a couple. There's no need to stand on ceremony for such small favors! If there's nothing else, I'll get going now?"

"There's nothing else, Tianming-gege. You should go back to your own dorm and settle your things early. If you miss me, you can video call me or come downstairs to meet me!"

Ye Qingxue didn't want to take up more of Lin Tianming's time, knowing he still had to move his own belongings.

Just as Lin Tianming was about to leave, slow footsteps sounded from outside Ye Qingxue's dorm room.

Is Qingxue's roommate back?

With this thought, Lin Tianming curiously looked towards the door.

However, when he saw who it was, he was stunned.

"Feng... Feng Lan?"

"Ye Qingxue..."

Ye Qingxue and the newcomer simultaneously called out each other's names.

The person who returned was Feng Lan, who had earlier clashed with Ye Qingxue over Lin Tianming.

After a moment of surprise, Ye Qingxue's face turned displeased. "This is my dorm room. What are you doing here?"

Feng Lan retorted, "I should be the one asking you. I got here first and just stepped out for a bit."

With Feng Lan's explanation, Ye Qingxue realized she was her roommate. The thought of living with Feng Lan, who tried to seduce her boyfriend, for the next four years was hard to accept.

"Didn't expect my roommate to be you!"

"I didn't expect it either."

Feng Lan quickly composed herself, walking calmly to her bed and sitting down.

Lin Tianming, who had planned to leave, realized that Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan, who almost fought on the first day, were now roommates. He couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Is this what they call fated rivals?

No, he had to remind them to get along before leaving. They must not start fighting before even lasting a day!
