"Are you my roommate?"
In the two-person dorm room, Huo Yuhao was wiping down his bed with a rag.
When he saw Bai Ran walk in, he could not help but freeze.
His first thought was, Why is my roommate so young? He does not even look ten.
Second, seeing that this roommate was dressed extraordinarily well, it was obvious that he was a child from a wealthy family.
Then he looked at his own commoner's clothes, and Huo Yuhao could not help but feel inferior.
"Hello, my name is Bai Ran."
Bai Ran stepped forward and greeted him first.
Tang Wutong: Haki Bai, that poor-looking guy is obviously from a commoner family. Why are you being so polite to him?
Tang Wutong clearly could not understand Bai Ran's actions.
Moreover, in the original story, when Wang Dong first met Huo Yuhao, he had put on the airs of a young master.
Bai Ran: Little Seven, have you forgotten what kind of background I came from?
Hearing Bai Ran say that, Tang Wutong immediately fell silent.
"Hello, my name is Huo Yuhao."
Because he was cleaning and his hands were a little dirty, Huo Yuhao wiped them on his clothes before cautiously extending one.
At the same time, he began observing Bai Ran's expression.
However, Bai Ran showed no trace of disgust. That faint smile remained on his face.
This greatly surprised Huo Yuhao.
In Huo Yuhao's understanding, children from such privileged families should have looked down on commoners like them.
Especially when he had been in the White Tiger Duke's Estate as a child, Huo Yuhao had always been casually bullied by those lofty people.
"Yuhao, does that mean we'll be roommates for many years to come?"
"That should be right."
Huo Yuhao scratched his head with his other hand, looking a little embarrassed.
He had heard Teacher Xiao Ya say that only after entering the Inner Court would students be assigned private single rooms.
"Since we're roommates, Yuhao, can you do me a favor?"
"What favor?"
At heart, Huo Yuhao was an exceptionally honest and simple person.
If it had been anyone else, after being treated that way in the White Tiger Duke's Estate, they would have turned dark long ago.
"Could you clean up my side too while you're at it?"
"Huh?"
Huo Yuhao had just been about to ask, "Why should I?"
The next second, a glittering golden card appeared in his hand.
It was nothing else but a Gold Soul Coin Card with a face value of ten thousand.
Huo Yuhao: ???
Using money to humiliate Brother Yuhao?
Please bring on more humiliation like this in the future!
Of course, Huo Yuhao was a man of principle.
And Bai Ran had given him far too much.
For Huo Yuhao, who could not even scrape together a few Gold Soul Coins from his entire body, this Gold Soul Coin Card could practically buy his life.
"No, no. We're roommates. It's only some cleaning—how can I take your money?"
Huo Yuhao had always been the sort of person who returned a foot for every inch of respect shown to him.
If Bai Ran had been an arrogant young master who came in and immediately started ordering Huo Yuhao around,
then forget ten thousand Gold Soul Coins—even a hundred thousand or a million would not have earned so much as a glance from Huo Yuhao.
But the boy before him was not only handsome and refined, but also extremely polite.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that becoming roommates with someone like him would definitely benefit him greatly in the future.
"Keep it. The main thing is, I never do housework at home.
I'll have to trouble you with the dorm's cleaning from now on, Yuhao."
"But this is too much."
Even hiring a cleaner from outside would not cost one Gold Soul Coin for a single cleaning.
These ten thousand Gold Soul Coins were clearly excessive.
"This young master has always enjoyed the best service. These ten thousand Gold Soul Coins are merely a deposit."
"A deposit?"
Huo Yuhao: Mistakenly entering a rich family...
Bai Ran: Look at you, singing again.
"By the way, Yuhao, have you eaten lunch?"
Although he had paid, sitting in the dorm and watching Yuhao clean by himself
made Bai Ran feel uncomfortable all over.
He clearly had yet to adapt to the identity of a "young master from a wealthy family."
"I have, Bai Ran."
"At the academy cafeteria?"
"Yes, at the academy cafeteria."
"I heard the Outer Court cafeteria has no seats and students have to eat standing up?"
"That's how our freshman cafeteria is. There are no seats, and takeout is forbidden, but the food tastes pretty good."
"Then I'd better eat outside."
"Bai Ran, you can still go out?"
Huo Yuhao: Mistakenly entering a rich family...
For freshmen entering the academy, they could only leave on Sundays.
On ordinary days, the academy implemented closed management for freshmen.
Although there was no specific rule about what time the lights had to be turned off at night,
given that freshmen had their days packed full with schoolwork, almost no freshman who dared stay up late on non-rest days ended well.
"Yeah. Yuhao, is there anything you want me to bring back for you?"
"If possible, bring me dinner."
Huo Yuhao looked at the still somewhat messy dorm room.
By the time he finished cleaning, it would already be late. He also had to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique, so he simply would not have time to go to the freshman cafeteria for dinner.
"No problem."
"Wait, Bai Ran."
Just as Bai Ran was about to leave, Huo Yuhao suddenly grabbed him.
"What is it, Yuhao?"
"The meal money."
Huo Yuhao took out the few Gold Soul Coins he had on him, his little face practically emblazoned with the words "utterly stubborn."
"Alright."
Bai Ran smiled and did not stand on ceremony with Huo Yuhao, directly accepting the few Gold Soul Coins.
It was better to take them, lest he hurt Huo Yuhao's fragile self-esteem.
