Yan Wenling took a step back. “Alright then, let Xiao Yaoyao call you Sister Somaya!”
Ke Yunyao: “…Huh? Wait, why do I suddenly have another nickname?”
Somaya ignored her confusion and followed Yan Wenling’s lead. “Alright then? Let Xiao Yaoyao call me Sister Somaya. That’s fine, right? Xiao Yaoyao?”
Ke Yunyao subconsciously nodded.
Yan Wenling was delighted. “Good! Very good! From now on, we’ll call you Xiao Yaoyao!”
Ke Yunyao looked even more confused. Wait, aren’t we talking about different things?
Yan Wenling didn’t care at all. The name “Xiao Yaoyao” sounded so cute—she just loved it.
That’s how she should be called!
“Alright, alright, Xiao Yaoyao, let me introduce the last roommate. She’s also your senior. You should’ve already met her today!”
Ke Yunyao suddenly realized. “Senior Lin Hui?”
Yan Wenling snapped her fingers. “Bingo! You got it!”
Then she explained a bit of the behind-the-scenes details about dorm assignments. “Hehe! You were specially chosen by her, you know! Seniors in charge of admissions have the authority to pick roommates for the vacant rooms in their dorms!”
Ke Yunyao nodded. So that’s how it is.
Senior Lin Hui was really good at hiding it. She hadn’t noticed anything unusual at all—it had felt like a completely normal process.
Yan Wenling said directly, “The moment you walked in, I knew you were easy to get along with. Lin Hui definitely wouldn’t pick someone bad for herself.”
“Hehe…” Ke Yunyao didn’t really know how to respond.
Somaya added from the side, “Lin Hui is your direct senior. She’s in her fifth year now. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask her.”
“Mm-hm, I understand!” Ke Yunyao looked at them gratefully.
She could feel that both seniors were very kind, including Lin Hui.
From the moment she walked in, she had already felt their goodwill, and it made her very grateful.
She wasn’t good at socializing and didn’t like interacting with others. Yan Wenling must have noticed that, which was why she had been so enthusiastic in introducing everything.
Otherwise, with her top-three ranking in the grade, she should’ve been proud and distant. Why would she bother lowering herself to explain things so patiently?
But the truth was a bit different from what Ke Yunyao imagined.
Yan Wenling was indeed a little proud—but she had a fatal weakness: she especially liked cute, soft-looking girls.
The moment Ke Yunyao walked in, she had hit her weak spot directly. Even without Lin Hui’s influence, she wouldn’t have treated her coldly.
As for Somaya, at first it was indeed because of Lin Hui. But after observing for a while, she too developed a protective instinct toward Ke Yunyao’s cute little face.
Especially since she was small and delicate-looking—she naturally triggered a “big sister” instinct in others.
In short, their first meeting went quite harmoniously. Ke Yunyao also gradually relaxed some of her nervousness and unease around strangers.
Yan Wenling glanced at her optical brain and checked the time. “Xiao Yaoyao, hurry up and clean your room. After you’re done, Sister Somaya and I will take you to the cafeteria!”
“Okay!” Ke Yunyao nodded obediently.
Somaya quickly stopped her. “Wait, wait—we should add each other on the optical brain first!”
Yan Wenling slapped her forehead in frustration. “Oh right, I almost forgot!”
“Hurry, hurry, let’s add each other!”
It didn’t take long—within two minutes, Ke Yunyao had successfully added both seniors.
Then Somaya sent her another link. “Also, this is the school intranet. There’s also a military intranet, but you can only join that when you reach your sixth or seventh year and go for military training.”
Ke Yunyao nodded gratefully again. “Okay! Thank you, senior!”
Yan Wenling looked at her expectantly. “Xiao Yaoyao, be good! You should call me Wenling Jiejie and her Somaya Jiejie!”
Somaya also looked at her with the same expectant gaze.
Ke Yunyao hesitated, then softly said, “Wenling… Jiejie… Somaya Jiejie.”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
Both of them answered at the same time.
“That sounds so nice!” Yan Wenling felt her heart soften.
Somaya felt the same way.
“Alright, go clean your room now,” Yan Wenling said with a smile.
Ke Yunyao nodded and quickly ran back into her room.
Seeing this, the two seniors couldn’t help but laugh.
Yan Wenling couldn’t help sighing. “Ahh, Senior Hui really picked us a great roommate.”
Somaya nodded in agreement.
Yan Wenling glanced at her. “Tch, what’s with that attitude? Why weren’t you this cold earlier in front of Xiao Yaoyao?”
“None of your business!” Somaya shot back.
“Tch.”
……
Inside the room, Ke Yunyao patted her flushed cheeks. It took a while before the redness faded.
She looked around the room. As her parents had said, the small suite was quite spacious. Although not as open as home, it was still comfortable enough.
She took out her housekeeping robot.
“1013, start cleaning the room!”
“Yes, little master!”
1013 was a highly intelligent robot. With simple commands, it could figure out exactly what to do.
After it finished cleaning, Ke Yunyao took out her luggage.
“1013, make the bed and organize my luggage!”
“Yes, I’m on it!”
Ke Yunyao walked around the room. It was fine—what she liked most was the study/work area.
With the housekeeping robot’s help, tidying up didn’t take long.
Once she estimated the time was about right, she walked out of her room.
Yan Wenling and Somaya both looked over.
“Xiao Yaoyao, you’re done?”
“Mm!” Ke Yunyao nodded.
“Then let’s go. Lunch at the cafeteria. The food there tastes much better than nutrient solution, and there are free meals too. Of course, if you want something better, you can also spend star coins.”
Ke Yunyao nodded.
“Since it’s your first day, we’ll treat you to something nice. This meal is on us!” Yan Wenling said.
Ke Yunyao quickly waved her hands. “No, no! I should be the one treating you! You both told me so much—I should treat you!”
Yan Wenling and Somaya both looked amused, but still refused.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s the beginning of school—let us treat you this time.”
“Exactly!” Somaya agreed.
Ke Yunyao sighed. She really couldn’t win against them.
