"Okay!" Yun Han accepted the communication talisman, thought for a moment, and took out a silver whip to give to Luo Shu, "Keep this for self-defense." He had crafted the silver whip himself, after he finished crafting his own weapon that day, he suddenly thought of her and crafted this silver whip.
"How beautiful!" Luo Shu accepted the silver whip with a face full of surprise, her eyes brimming with joy, "Is this a magic artifact?" She didn’t know how to craft artifacts, but she knew that in the True Cultivation World, True Cultivation weapons could be categorized as: Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Immortal Artifacts, Divine Artifacts, Holy Artifacts... There were those primarily for offense, defense, assistance, and those that balanced offense and defense.
"That day I saw there were extra materials, so I crafted this silver whip." Seeing the smile on Luo Shu’s face, Yun Han’s lips curved up slightly with a smile. As long as she was happy, that was good!
"Thank you, Yun Han!" Luo Shu fondled it with adoration.
"Why be so formal with me? You are the one who saved my life," Yun Han said with a smile. He truly did not want Luo Shu to treat him as a stranger.
Luo Shu took out a large piece of Fire Cloud Crystal and handed it to Yun Han, "This is for you." Last time she only gave him a small piece, and she guessed he had probably almost used it up.
"Do you really have to be so formal with me?" Yun Han asked with a bitter smile as he looked at the Fire Cloud Crystal Luo Shu handed him.
"I’m not being formal, it’s just that I think Fire Cloud Crystal would be more useful to you, and if you don’t accept it, then you are being formal with me," Luo Shu said with a sly smile, placing the Fire Cloud Crystal into Yun Han’s hands.
Yun Han shook his head helplessly with a smile, "Alright then! I’ll accept it." But his heart was slightly bitter, for Luo Shu’s attitude had already clarified her feelings. He and she could never be, not like her and Lu Hanmo, inseparable.
Luo Shu took out a cup of Spiritual Spring Water and handed it to Yun Han, then stood up and said, "I’m going to make dinner." No matter whether her feeling before was her imagination or not, she did not hope that Yun Han would develop feelings beyond friendship for her. In that case, their relationship would inevitably come to an end, because her heart was already filled by Hanmo, with no room for anyone else.
After Yun Han left, Luo Shu also picked up her luggage and took the bus to the school.
"Luo Shu!" Just as Luo Shu had entered the dormitory area, she heard Meng Yujuan calling her.
Luo Shu looked up and saw Meng Yujuan standing on the second floor, waving at her.
Seeing Luo Shu looking in her direction, Meng Yujuan showed a bright smile. Although the smile wasn’t very beautiful, it was very sincere.
"Wait for me! I’ll come down and help you with your luggage," Meng Yujuan said, and then she ran down from the second floor with a clatter. She did not know whether Luo Shu was moving in today or tomorrow, but since she had nothing else to do, she had been reading on the balcony, keeping an eye out in the hopes of seeing Luo Shu arrive. It’s just that it was too hot, and the sun had made her feel a bit dizzy.
Meng Yujuan ran up to Luo Shu, panting, and reached out her hand, "Let me help you with your luggage." Seeing Luo Shu’s delicate appearance, carrying such a heavy quilt, she felt a bit of pity. Unlike Yujuan, Luo Shu wasn’t used to doing farm work; she had the strength for it.
"No need, I can manage," Luo Shu declined, shaking her head. Such weight was naturally not an issue for her.
"With your small frame, let me carry it," Meng Yujuan insisted, snatching the quilt from Luo Shu’s hands and carrying it, "Come on, I’ll accompany you to the dormitory."
Luo Shu smiled, shook her head, and took a bottle of water out of her bag to hand it over to Meng Yujuan, "Have some water first."
"Thanks!" Meng Yujuan didn’t stand on ceremony with Luo Shu, taking the water and starting to drink with a "gulping" sound.
The dormitory Luo Shu lived in was in the third building, and as she walked up the stairs, it was immediately clear that it was different from the floor where Meng Yujuan lived; it was especially clean, and there were several pots of lush green plants placed between the floors, creating a very serene environment.
"Luo Shu, your place is really nice, so much better than ours," Meng Yujuan commented as she looked around, identifying what was different from her own floor.
"By the way, which room number is yours?" Meng Yujuan asked as she looked at the row of dorm rooms in the corridor and then turned to Luo Shu.
"306," replied Luo Shu with a smile. Having chatted with Meng Yujuan on the way over, she found Meng Yujuan to be quite an interesting person.
"Let’s run over there, ready! Go!" As soon as Meng Yujuan finished speaking, she was already dashing off with her quilt, leaving behind a trail of happy laughter. She wasn’t uncheerful; she just didn’t have friends, so she had to hide her extroverted personality. If it hadn’t been for her nature, the mockery and disdain from so many people over the years would have driven her mad long ago.
As a child, whenever she felt wronged, she would have a big cry to vent. As she grew older, whenever she was wronged, she would run off to the forest alone to sing and sprint, yell and shout towards the distant mountains. Although she still felt inferior, her personality had become more and more outgoing with each passing day. But nobody had ever really understood her.
Meng Yujuan ran to the front of room 306 and pushed open the dorm room door, only to see that there was just one empty bed left, which clearly meant that Luo Shu was the only one who hadn’t arrived.
As the dorm room door opened, everyone inside turned their gaze simultaneously toward the newcomer. Seeing Meng Yujuan holding her quilt, they all felt a wave of disappointment and let out a collective sigh.
"How is this possible? Did the school make a mistake?"
"It must have been the auntie who handed out the keys who made a mistake. Otherwise, why would she be assigned to our dorm?"
"She’s going to be our roommate from now on, let’s not talk like that," somebody chimed in.
Meng Yujuan just smiled indifferently, her smile tinged with a trace of bitterness. She turned to Luo Shu, who had already caught up, "Luo Shu, I got here first, I win!" As long as Luo Shu didn’t disdain her, that was enough.
"You wish, I’ll definitely beat you next time," Luo Shu said with a laugh, pulling Meng Yujuan’s hand and entering the dorm.
Everyone assessed the two of them, "Which one of you is our roommate?"
"Her!" Meng Yujuan walked to Luo Shu’s bed, placed her quilt on the empty bunk, and pointed at Luo Shu with a smile.
Luo Shu smiled at everyone, "Hello! I’m Luo Shu." She wanted to live in the dormitory to experience what it felt like to share a room with others. In her past life, her family had protected her too well, and she missed out on many experiences that should have been hers at that age. If she had the chance in this life, she wanted to try them all.
