Roommate Xue Fanhui

After spending over half an hour touring the orphanage, Vivian brought Xi Xiu to the room she had prepared for her.

Vivian was a very gentle person. She led Xi Xiu around the orphanage, familiarizing her with the environment, explaining the layout, and important rules.

The orphanage was designed to be cute and childlike, with everything catering to children's aesthetics. The tallest building was only three stories high, and no building on Ningkui Star exceeded 20 meters.

Outside the orphanage was a plump, transparent protective shield, like a giant pot lid.

However, it could only be seen at dusk, during the transition from day to night, the moment the star hid its light. It was transparent normally.

This was something Vivian mentioned, as it was considered a major scenic beauty of the orphanage.

The evenings on Ningkui Star were gentle and beautiful. The dim, golden light fell on the west side of the orphanage's round exterior. The star's light refracted through the protective shield, landing on one's body with a warm feeling.

The children of the orphanage were playing in the activity area, with companion robots taking care of them. Innocent laughter and crying mingled with various other sounds.

Xi Xiu felt as if she was seeing her past. She hadn't expected that even in her second life, her familial bonds would still be so thin.

However, Xi Xiu didn't sigh. After emerging from the subordinate star Q68, everything she had seen and heard on the journey made her realize she was in a world full of wonders, beautiful and magnificent. She would have a different life, and the past was the past.

Vivian led Xi Xiu through two security doors of the orphanage, arriving at the second floor on the east side.

Vivian brought Xi Xiu to her living quarters. If nothing unexpected happened, she would live here for a decade.

Based on Wei Lanshan's description of Xi Xiu's personality, Vivian arranged for her to stay in a room on the second floor, east side.

Previously, only a girl around Xi Xiu's age had lived there. Vivian thought they were similar in age and disposition, both talented children, and Xi Xiu should be able to get along with her.

This was how Xi Xiu met her first, life-and-death companion in the sea of stars, though their first meeting wasn't very friendly.

When Vivian opened the room door, Xi Xiu saw a girl about her age.

She sat quietly at a desk by the window, fiddling with a mechanical model, pondering how to assemble it next.

Her curved eyelashes drooped as she was immersed in her own world, completely ignoring the arrival of Director Vivian.

Vivian walked up to Xi Xiu's future roommate and said gently, "Fanhui, come and meet your new roommate, Hong Xixiu. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be your companion here and potentially a family member in the future."

Xi Xiu didn't understand why Vivian would say "potentially a family member in the future."

Xue Fanhui looked up at the director and Hong Xixiu. As Xi Xiu's gaze met hers, she smiled politely and friendly.

However, she didn't receive a friendly response from Xue Fanhui. Instead, she saw a look of disdain on Xue Fanhui's face.

Xi Xiu's face darkened. She was being looked down upon by a six-year-old brat!

"Yes, Vivian, I understand. I will get along with her," Xue Fanhui emphasized the word "get along" heavily. Xi Xiu could tell, but she didn't say anything.

It seemed her new roommate didn't welcome her. It didn't matter; she could still make a splash on her own.

This world was immeasurably vast, and she wanted to dedicate her time to learning. Starting tomorrow, she would be incredibly busy and wouldn't have time to argue with a child.

Thinking about it, compared to Xue Fanhui, who was familiar with this world, she herself seemed more like a child.

"Good. Fanhui, you are older, and Xi Xiu is new here and unfamiliar with the environment. Don't bully her, understand?"

"Understood, Vivian." Xue Fanhui sounded a little impatient. Her model was at a critical juncture, and the inspiration vanished after Vivian interrupted her.

After receiving Xue Fanhui's reply, Vivian took Xi Xiu to her room.

"Xi Xiu, I'll show you to your room. The robot nanny should have already settled everything inside. Let's see if anything is missing, and we'll go get it."

Vivian said this with care and gentleness, her tea-colored eyes sparkling with a beautiful hue.

"Okay, thank you, Director Vivian." Xi Xiu smiled sweetly.

Seeing her like this, Vivian almost lost her focus. This girl had clear eyes, deep pupils, and her eye color was pure black, which was rare even in the entire Alliance.

Wei Lanshan's eye color was also pure black, but upon closer inspection, there were some subtle variations.

Vivian lost herself in thought and remained silent. She had countless guesses in her mind. She knew that what Wei Lanshan had told her was not Xi Xiu's true identity.

So, whose child was Xi Xiu? Vivian was becoming somewhat eager to know Xi Xiu's true identity.

Xi Xiu didn't understand why Vivian was surprised, but she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she looked at the room's decor. It wasn't a pink, princess-themed room but was simple, practical, and safe. She was very satisfied.

Returning to her senses, Vivian sent some of the orphanage's rules to Xi Xiu's terminal.

Xi Xiu was already five years old, and she could understand the text by using the terminal's voice translator.

The rest would be taught by the Star Net language teachers after she started school tomorrow.

After bringing Xi Xiu to the room, Vivian entered Xi Xiu's personal information into the nanny robot's database. All daily matters would be handled by the robot.

After completing these tasks and giving Xi Xiu a few more detailed instructions, Vivian handed Xi Xiu over to robot 08.

After Vivian left, Xi Xiu stayed in her room and opened the terminal Wei Lanshan had given her to review the rules Vivian had sent.

The device on her wrist was something everyone in the Alliance was equipped with at birth. While called a terminal, it was essentially a chip implanted beneath the skin of her wrist. As long as her finger touched it, it would activate the central network, and a light screen would pop up for operation. It was very simple to use.

Xi Xiu couldn't tell what material it was made of, likely some advanced technology. Once she learned all the knowledge, she would probably understand it.

She read through all the precautions Vivian had sent her and noted down the important points.

The robots would deliver the pre-mixed nutritional supplements at fixed times, supervise them to consume them, and then ensure they exercised.

Before long, Xi Xiu received various Star Net class schedules from Vivian.

Starting tomorrow, she would study in segments on the Star Net daily, with four hours of cultural lessons and two hours of unified training.

Extra plans that individuals make are to be arranged by themselves, and they can train whenever a training room is available.

Furthermore, the children over ten years old in the orphanage are not in their building, and Xi Xiu noticed that the children playing in the yard were all girls.

The children over ten years old are housed in the building behind, separated from the younger children to prevent older ones from bullying the younger ones and for easier management.

Only after this batch of older children graduates will the younger ones be arranged to move in, so Xi Xiu will stay in the current building until she graduates.

While Xi Xiu was busy in her room, Xue Fanhui, whose thoughts had been interrupted, moved to the doorway of Xi Xiu's room.

Xue Fanhui watched Xi Xiu efficiently pack her belongings. She was surprised; she had initially thought the beautiful girl brought by the director would be delicate, given her delicate appearance!

Unexpectedly, she was more capable than Xue Fanhui herself. Little stars instantly appeared in Xue Fanhui's eyes; she liked girls who were independent and capable.
