Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

But the old lady took it as Yuanchu's tacit agreement and continued the conversation along that line.

"No, no, there's no third person here. The one who moved in today is Xu You, the short-haired girl that you mentioned before, Grandma. She seems energetic."

The elevator stopped on the first floor. The old lady paused for a moment, then smiled and said...

"So that young girl wasn't your roommate. People who are slow on the way up the elevator go first, and people who are fast on the way down go first. I'm too old to block your way."

"Hahaha, who said that? Grandma's legs are very nimble."

The conversation ended there, at a rather mundane point, without delving into anything profound—just casual chatting.

But Iris's thoughts drifted away with the old woman's words.

Walking in the rainy neighborhood with an umbrella, she carefully recalled when she started to get used to someone always coming to her house at the same time, to having that girl cook dinner for her every night, to chatting with her before bed, and to having her take care of her when she had menstrual cramps.

But thinking of this, Yuanchu suddenly looked at the light blue double umbrella in her hand and smiled softly.

The time she got used to carrying a double umbrella when she went out was probably the time she got used to the presence of Yuzu.

......

It is said that it takes 21 days for a person to get used to something, but this statement is actually a classic scientific explanation that has been misinterpreted by the public as a myth.

Twenty-one days is the time it takes for a person to get used to the fact that they have lost an arm, but what it truly takes for a person to get used to something is sixty-six days of perseverance.

But coincidentally...

"Coincidentally, Yuzu and Tobi-chan have known each other for exactly sixty-six days. They have both gotten used to each other's presence and to having her in their world. It takes a long time to form such a habit, and it also takes a long time to give it up."

A white-haired girl sits in the boss's office chair and holds a meeting with everyone.

A row of people sat quietly in front of her: Xu Youyue, the boss, Sister Feng, Li Huiyan, Jiehua, You, Sal, and Shuangxue. Those who couldn't attend in person participated in the meeting via video call.

"Our ESC company has always adhered to the principle that our colleagues' love life is our CP (couple) fandom's love life. When they get together, it's our harvest season."

"So the reason we've gathered everyone here is to help this couple who are having trouble getting along. The current situation is that they've started living together rather hastily after they've both gotten used to each other's sudden appearance in their world. So, there will inevitably be an awkward period, during which all sorts of things may happen, and they're very likely to confide in you and complain about it."

"On this point, I hope everyone can unite and actively exchange information in the joint operations command to achieve the greatest possible support. For this purpose, I have also specially invited three external aids, who are also three colleagues who will be debuting as sixth-generation members."

After a few simple steps, Xu Lin connected three people in a video call.

"Let's welcome Qianqian, Yunyun, and Xiaoge."

Chapter 428, Section 49: The Legendary Dormitory 404

Therefore, Xu Lin is truly terrifying when he gets serious about something.

The young lady and Sister Yan couldn't help but laugh when they heard the names of the three girls.

"Hi everyone, I'm Yunyun~!"

The first to speak was Yunyun, the most energetic girl in the Yuzi dormitory. Speaking of which, Xu Lin was able to trick the other two popular girls into coming to ESC Club thanks to this little otaku.

Well, this kid is really something. She even knew about XP Studio a long time ago, and when Xu Lin invited her, she immediately agreed to audition.

"I'm Qianqian, nice to meet you."

Before they arrived, Yunyun and Xu Lin had given the other two girls a brief explanation of what VUPs were and what the atmosphere of ESC Club was like, so they weren't particularly nervous at the moment.

"Just call me Xiaoge, please take care of me."

A cool female voice rang out, making everyone's eyes light up. There aren't many androgynous girls whose natural voices are this high-quality; this will definitely become one of her unique characteristics.

If Yunyun was the most willing of the three to debut, then Qianqian agreed because of some slightly complicated emotions. As for what those emotions were, we'll find out later.

As for Xiaoge, she was simply dragged along by Yunyun's persistent pleading. She spent an entire morning thoroughly researching all the memes and references of ESC, and once she realized that it was a well-known CP (couple pairing) sales company, she naturally wanted to debut with her own CP.

Yes, this thick-skinned kid chose Xiaoge.

I really wonder what kind of expression a tomboy would have when she heard this reason.

"Welcome~ Welcome~"

Everyone else greeted them as if they were welcoming a newcomer to the group, and a few of them were particularly funny.

I'm talking about you, Thrall!

What do you mean by 'welcoming newcomers to jump into the fire pit'?!

"I never expected that you could pull together an entire dorm to debut like this. Senior Ruoye, you're really going all out."

Lin Mu was somewhat speechless.

"What? All three of them have exceptional skills and went through the formal interview process to get in. I never expected that all three of them would pass the interview."

Actually, Youzi had mentioned to Xu Lin before that some of her roommates were quite suitable for debuting, but she didn't take it seriously at the time. Just a couple of days ago, she suddenly remembered this and asked Sister Yan to contact someone. And what she found was amazing.

This small university is truly full of hidden talents.

......

Leaving aside Xu Lin's arrangements for now and leaving some suspense, Yuzu and Iris's awkward first day of living together is not yet over.

Yuanchu, who had gone to buy groceries, eventually had to go home. After wandering around the neighborhood for almost two hours, she finally sighed silently and made up her mind to go home and face reality.

"Actually, living with Yuzu isn't such an unacceptable thing."

Talking nonsense that she herself didn't believe, Yuanchu got on and off the elevator. She took two deep breaths and was about to put the key in the door to lock it when it was already open.

"Ah, Sister Yuanchu."

Yuzu opened her mouth somewhat blankly and spoke slowly and softly.

"Yes, I'm back."

Yuanchu nodded, trying to make her movements look more natural, and placed the umbrella by the door to start changing her shoes.

Are you going out? It's raining outside.

For some reason, Iris instinctively continued with the second half of the sentence, as if her body had become accustomed to speaking in this way.

"Haha, actually I skipped class today. I have a pretty important class this afternoon, so I have to rush back."

Yuzu scratched her head with one hand and chuckled, trying her best to hide her true feelings, but Tobi saw through her immediately.

"Important means roll call, right?"

For a top student who mainly relies on self-study, skipping class is not an unacceptable thing, but as an older friend, Ito-chan feels that it is necessary to educate Yuzu a little in this regard.

"Because I'm moving, please let me off this time, Tobi-chan."

The black-haired girl clasped her hands together and leaned slightly forward, bringing her gaze level with Iris's. She blinked her right eye and gave a cute look.

"Remember to ask for leave properly next time. Hurry up and don't be late."

Yuanchu didn't say much, but quietly put the umbrella she had just put down back into Youzi's hand.

"Ok!"

......

After closing the door, Yuzu jogged into the neighborhood, slowed down with her umbrella, and let out a long sigh of relief.

In fact, it only takes her half an hour to get back to school, and it's 11 a.m. now, which is a full two and a half hours before the first class in the afternoon.

She could have taken a nap at home before setting off, and that was actually her original plan; she even wanted to take a shower to wash away the sweat from the move.

But while tidying up her room, she suddenly noticed a small detail that made her so embarrassed that she almost wanted to crawl into the floor and then run away.

Hmm, she noticed that Iris had taken a bag with her when she went out, and the pink folding umbrella that she had always kept in one place had disappeared.

It's a very simple line of reasoning, right?

The umbrella isn't home = Tobi-chan took it out = Tobi-chan's act of coming home to get the umbrella was intentional = The person who was wailing on the sofa heard everything.

A complete social dead chain, the embarrassed Yuzu even wanted to move to another city.

But at the same time, I felt a sense of relief.

Because Yuan Chu didn't show any resistance, she thought she would be kicked out. She had even reserved a bed at Sister Yan's place. But Yuan Chu didn't show any displeasure at all, which made her feel a little happy that her backup plan was useless.

Hehe ~

If Tobi-chan doesn't refuse~

Is there even the slightest bit of hope?

Sitting in the empty subway car, Yuzu couldn't help but smile slightly.

.......

"Little fool, you're quite fast."

Back home, Yuzu took the pink folding umbrella out of her bag and placed it back in its original spot, muttering to herself.

......

When Yuzu arrived at school, she didn't go straight to the classroom. There were still two hours left. The morning classes had just ended, and the teaching building was filled with students who had just finished class and were heading to the cafeteria for lunch.

Yuzu was also in the group. Thinking that her roommates should have finished class by now, she was in a great mood and casually made a phone call to ask her three little darlings if they needed their dear mom to bring them some food.

.......

"Ahhh! Senior, I need to answer this phone first, it's Yuzu calling!"

Yunyun suddenly screamed halfway through Xu Lin's speech and then immediately exited the voice chat.

"Ah... Xiaoge, keep an eye on the situation, let's continue."

But Brother Lin remained calm and simply brushed the matter aside with a single sentence.

However, Xu Lin wasn't actually talking to the three of them about Yuzi anymore. Instead, he was giving them some basic onboarding training and asking them about their preferred character designs so he could guide them on how to create the designs.

I'm not in a particular hurry, so I'll just do whatever.
