So what if she's an ordinary girl? She still gets her older brother to fight for the top spot o

Chapter 385 A Simple Greeting

As Zhang Xiaoyu stepped out of her room, she smelled the aroma of breakfast.

Her new roommate, Qiu Zhenzhen, was in the kitchen.

"Good morning," Zhang Xiaoyu greeted, and walked over without thinking.

"Little Fish, you're awake." Qiu Zhenzhen turned around and greeted her with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoyu watched as she skillfully flipped the pancake over and exclaimed in amazement, "I knew you could cook, but I didn't expect you to make your own breakfast."

Qiu Zhenzhen: "I only make breakfast occasionally, but today I suddenly wanted to eat egg crepes. I had the ingredients and it was quick to make, so I did it myself."

Zhang Xiaoyu praised, "You're really amazing, you smell amazing."

After praising her, Zhang Xiaoyu felt she should leave, otherwise standing there would make her look like she wanted to eat someone else's breakfast.

However, Qiu Zhenzhen spoke first: "Really? Would you like some small fish too? Don't worry, I put very little oil in it."

"No need, no need, it's quite convenient for me to buy it outside." Zhang Xiaoyu was worried that the other person was just being polite to her. After all, she had only been living here for a short time, and it seemed a bit shameless of her to eat someone's homemade breakfast so soon.

"Do you prefer eating breakfast outside? Hmm, it's okay." She looked a little disappointed.

So her new roommate is really hospitable and really wants her to try the breakfast that the other person makes!

"Can I be honest? I really want to eat your egg pancakes. I feel like I can smell the aroma when I'm sleeping. I really want to eat them!"

"Really!" The other person's eyes lit up instantly.

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly.

In the end, I received an egg roll with incredibly luxurious toppings.

One bite and it's so delicious!

What an amazing roommate!

"It's so delicious I almost bit my tongue!" Zhang Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up.

Qiu Zhenzhen smiled shyly: "Can you eat your fill by yourself? If not, I can make another one."

Zhang Xiaoyu quickly shook her head: "That's enough, that's enough. This is a big one, I can eat my fill."

She'll definitely bring back a cup of milk tea for her amazing roommate as a small thank you when she gets back.

Zhang Xiaoyu was chatting with the other party mainly to see if the soundproofing was really good.

"Zhenzhen, can you hear me when I'm live streaming from my room? I'm worried the soundproofing might be bad and disturb your rest."

Qiu Zhenzhen shook her head: "I can't hear anything at all, don't worry, I slept very well."

"That's good."

The two went to school together, but because they were in different colleges, they soon separated and went to their respective classrooms for class.

Zhang Xiaoyu quickly sat down with her roommates.

"Little Fish, are you settling in well while living away from home? Is there anything you're not used to?"

"Yeah, do you miss us a lot? Do you feel lonely at night without us chatting with you? Do you want to come back and stay in the dorms again?"

Zhang Xiaoyu: "I feel okay. I definitely miss you guys, but I'd rather not stay in the dormitory. Once you've experienced having your own room, you never want to lose it again."

Zhou Yueling gave a feigned "humph" in dissatisfaction.

Chen Shiya: "Stop humming. If you had the chance to live elsewhere, you definitely wouldn't want to come back."

“Haha, that’s true.” Zhou Yueling couldn’t help but laugh immediately.

Xia Yiqing: "Are you getting along well with your roommates?"

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: "That's great. She made egg pancakes herself this morning and even treated me to some. They were really delicious."

Zhou Yueling: "As long as you get along well, who knows, you might even become friends. I heard—"

She looked around and lowered her voice, clearly indicating that there was new information.

Zhang Xiaoyu played along perfectly, asking with great curiosity, "Yueling, what else do you know?"

Zhou Yueling: "The reason she moved out was because she was bullied by her roommate. One of her roommates is a local and is also the niece of the dean of their college. It is said that the girl often uses her uncle's connections to boss people around. If you don't listen to her, you will be bullied."

Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes widened: "Bullying?"

Chen Shiya: "Isn't this a society governed by law? And we're in university now, so why expose them directly?"

Zhou Yueling shook her head: "You're really too naive, Shiya. Bullying doesn't have to be physical; there are many other ways. Besides, the dean can really do a lot. Anyway, she's quite pitiful; she was unlucky to be assigned to that dormitory."

"Don't tell anyone, we're just talking privately. I don't want to get a talk with the dean one day."

"Don't worry, we won't talk nonsense. But hearing about this still makes one sigh, sigh."

"That's how society works; people with a bit of power are completely different from ordinary people."

After lunch, the group parted ways. Zhang Xiaoyu asked Qiu Zhenzhen when she was going back, and she said soon, so Zhang Xiaoyu bought two cups of milk tea to take home.

"This cup is for you."

Qiu Zhenzhen was surprised and somewhat at a loss: "Why are you suddenly giving me milk tea? I... I'll give you the money."

Zhang Xiaoyu: "This is a treat for you. I ate your delicious egg pancake this morning, and I had plenty of energy for all my classes this morning. I wasn't hungry at all."

"But egg pancakes aren't worth much."

"The milk tea isn't worth much. Okay, let's not talk about money anymore, or I'll have to make up for the breakfast money with you."

Qiu Zhenzhen then happily drank the milk tea: "Delicious!"

Zhang Xiaoyu also relaxed and drank her milk tea. She hoped that the other person could get rid of the shadow of the past as soon as possible, and that college should be a happy time.

Zhang Xiaoyu took out her phone since she had no classes in the afternoon.

Yesterday, during a multiplayer game, after her older brother placed five sets of 9999 love letters, the opposing team stopped ranking up altogether and even said that it was unfair for her brother to place so many.

She earned five angels from each of them, but apart from Mr. Gu's sister Rou Rou who directly gifted her one, the other three said they would contact her every day and gift her one each time, so it wouldn't hurt so much!

Okay, as long as they like it, Zhang Xiaoyu is fine with it.

There was no third round; after that, the event ended. There were no more PvP matches; we just expressed our gratitude, sang some songs, chatted, and that was it.

Zhang Xiaoyu recalled what happened last night, then casually opened the Starlight app and browsed through it. She was surprised to find that even though it was almost 1 p.m., there were still live streams talking about the PK. Naturally, her name and Mr. Gu's name were mentioned the most. She watched for a while and learned a little about him. In short, he was very powerful, and his older sister was also very powerful and extremely skilled in combat.

After swiping a few times, half of the five or six videos I scrolled through were her own.

Zhang Xiaoyu covered her face. Could it be that she often searches for her own news, so the platform pushes messages based on her habits?

She stopped watching videos; she kept watching until she felt too embarrassed to continue.

She opened her private messages and saw many messages. But King didn't reply. She checked again and found that he wasn't online either.

After hesitating for a moment, I sent a simple greeting and then exited the app.

My hand unconsciously clicked into Moments, and I couldn't resist the urge to like all my friends' updates before finally leaving.

Just as I was about to play a game, Qin Zheng's message popped up.

It's a Teletubby that says hello; it's very cute.

Zhang Xiaoyu also sent a saved emoji. Looking at the chat interface, she casually thought that the online War God seemed to be more lively than the offline one.

[biggset fish: Have you eaten yet?]

Qin Zheng: I've already eaten.

[biggset fish: Have you recovered? Are you still feeling unwell?]

Qin Zheng: It's all better now.

[Qin Zheng: (Image)]

Qin Zheng: This is my temperature, I just took it.

Zhang Xiaoyu clicked on it and took a look; it was indeed a normal temperature.

[Biggest Fish: Great! (Happy)]

Qin Zheng couldn't help but smile as he looked at his phone; in fact, he had been smiling the whole time.

Qin Zheng: The takeout you order for me is always super delicious, I always finish it all.

Zhang Xiaoyu ordered takeout several times while Qin Zheng was sick, so she should keep her word.

Qin Zheng: I recovered so quickly because I ate well.

Qin Zheng: Delicious!

Zhang Xiaoyu is now quite wealthy, and upon seeing Qin Zheng's message, she only had one sentence to say.

[Biggest Fish: If you like it, I'll give you some more!]

Qin Zheng: Then I'll give you some too.

[biggest fish: Haha, sure!]

Qin Zheng: (Happy) (Happy) (Happy)

[Qin Zheng: Do you want to take a nap? Want to play games with me?]

Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes widened. She hadn't felt sleepy at all, but those words seemed to have a magical power, making her yawn instantly.

She usually takes a half-hour nap at noon, especially when she has classes in the afternoon.

[biggest fish: I wasn't sleepy before, but you made me sleepy~]

Qin Zheng: ...

Qin Zheng: Okay.

Feeling that the other person should send another sad puppy emoji, Zhang Xiaoyu replied with a smile.

[biggset fish: I'll only sleep for half an hour. We'll play games together when I wake up!]

Qin Zheng: Then I'll wait for you!

What's going on? For no apparent reason, I'm having this image of a lost dog suddenly coming back to life!

Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head, said something to Qiu Zhenzhen, and went back to her room.

Sleep quality is best when you're sleepy. After setting an alarm, Zhang Xiaoyu fell into a sweet sleep soon after her head hit the pillow.

Qin Zheng also set an alarm for himself. He would first go into the game to get a feel for the game, so that he could carry Xiaoyu in the game in the best condition!

Zhang Xiaoyu once casually mentioned in a live stream chat that she wasn't very good at playing games, but would play a couple of rounds when she felt like it.

Time always flies when you have something to look forward to.

The moment the alarm went off, Qin Zheng turned it off! Then he quickly switched to the chat interface.

He stared wide-eyed at the screen, but after a while there was still no reply. Had he forgotten? Or perhaps he wasn't fully awake yet.

Qin Zheng tapped and poked at it.

[Qin Zheng: Are you awake?]

No reply, confirmed. He's probably still asleep.

Although Qin Zheng was a little disappointed, he would never disturb the other person's afternoon nap just to play games together.

It's much better than him being forgotten.

Just wait a little longer.

Anyway, there's only one class in the afternoon.

Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes. She remembered that she seemed to have heard the alarm clock and subconsciously turned it off halfway through, and there seemed to be a pop-up message.

I picked up my phone, and thankfully, I only slept for an extra half hour.

However, upon seeing Qin Zheng's message, she realized that she had broken her promise.

[Biggest Fish: Sorry, sorry, I was sleeping too soundly!]

Qin Zheng: It's okay, sleep is more important.

Suddenly, a wave of guilt washed over her. Qin Zheng probably hadn't been waiting for her all along, had he?

How come you replied so quickly!

[Biggest Fish: (Cautiously peeking out) Want to play games together again?]

Qin Zheng: Yes, yes, yes!

[biggest fish: Please carry me, pro!]

Qin Zheng: Take it, take it, take it!

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled, which was strangely cute.

Playing games with Qin Zheng is so much fun! He's not only good at games, but he also always cooperates with her, which is incredibly enjoyable. It's even better than the quality of a top-tier gaming companion who costs 100 yuan an hour.

Although Zhang Xiaoyu hadn't ordered any, she was reluctant to spend the money, and would rather play a couple of games casually and use the money saved to eat something delicious.

But Qin Zheng is really amazing!

Zhang Xiaoyu had a lot of fun.

[biggest fish: Don't you have class this afternoon either?]

Qin Zheng really wanted to say no, but he didn't want to lie to her.

Qin Zheng: There are two sections.

Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at the time; it seemed like it was almost time.

[bigges鱼t: Your class time is almost here!]

Qin Zheng: (Unhappy) Time flies so fast.

Zhang Xiaoyu comforted him.

[biggest fish: It's okay, you can play again when you have time]

After finishing this game, Qin Zheng had to go to class.

Zhang Xiaoyu played another round by herself, but she quickly lost interest. Without Qin Zheng, the experience was much less enjoyable!

She could tolerate it before, but now she suddenly felt it was unbearable. Could she ask Qin Zheng to play games with her in the future, or maybe she could splurge and hire a gaming companion?

Without thinking too much, she received a logistics message: the local specialties her family had sent her were actually left at the courier point!

Upon seeing this good news, Zhang Xiaoyu immediately sent a message to her mother to express her joy.

Zhang Xiaoyu had already told her parents about renting a place, so she naturally had to explain why. She explained that she was working part-time as a live streamer, and she explained her job very seriously. Apart from not having social insurance and housing fund, the pay was very good, the hours were flexible, and it wasn't tiring. The money she earned was enough for her living expenses.

Most importantly, this job is absolutely legitimate, not as shady as others have made it out to be. Perhaps because Zhang Xiaoyu had always been a good, obedient child in her parents' eyes since childhood, it didn't take much effort to convince them.

She had already bought two new mobile phones online and sent them back as gifts, while the gift for her younger sister was a large gift of snacks from a well-known brand, as her sister is a foodie just like her.

Zhang Xiaoyu planned to explain her actual salary when she went home for winter break, so as not to scare her honest parents if she told them now.

After chatting, Zhang Xiaoyu felt it was time to study. She had an exam tomorrow, but she'd almost finished reviewing. Everyone says you need to stay relaxed before an exam to perform exceptionally well! So she found a comedy movie to unwind and enjoyed the afternoon.

She only realized someone had messaged her after she finished reading; she was too focused to see it.

[Lonely Island Bro: Wow, it looks like the local specialties you sent me have arrived!]

She suddenly remembered that several of her older brothers lived in the same city, so it was normal that they had received the message.

[Yuan Zong: Mom's lovingly made local specialties~]

Zhang Xiaoyu: ...She felt that the previous statement referring to her mother would make it less likely to be misunderstood!

Since they were all private messages, I replied to each one individually, and then Zhang Xiaoyu asked again in the small group.

[biggset fish: I've received the local specialties my mom sent, and I think you guys should receive them soon too.]

[Lonely Island Bro: Got it, I just told you]

[biggsetfish: Yeah, I was just asking the other guys.]

[Island Bro: No class today?]

[biggset fish: There are no classes in the afternoon! There are classes in the morning~]

[Lonely Island Bro: Not streaming or chatting with us, are you studying? Do you have an exam tomorrow?]

Zhang Xiaoyu felt a little guilty; she had been studying until midnight after her broadcast yesterday.
