The new dormitory wasn't actually far; just as Li Lin was worrying if the things on top of his head were going to fall off, they had already arrived.
In a corner of nurous buildings far from the bustling area of Lungn, a small two-story building stood quietly. On it was a newly spray-painted Penguin Logistics LOGO, looking slightly comical, yet filled with so inexplicable aning.
The people in the car quickly got out and, led by Texas, filed into this sowhat elegant and chic little building. Looking at the facilities inside, although not glittering with gold, they were already dazzling enough in their eyes, and they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Reaching out to touch the walls and furniture inside, they seed sowhat unable to believe the things inside could be used by their group.
"…This is a combined sofa that can seat ten people!"
"Huge LCD screen! And a projector!"
"The mini-bar is full of all kinds of alcohol!"
"Complete toilet! Really, every room has a complete toilet!"
"Quad-row large washing machine! I can finally stop worrying about the sll on my underwear!"
"Hey! Who just said that!"
"…"
After so inexplicable commotion, the group looked at this brand-new dormitory and finally felt relieved.
Although single rooms were still shared by two people, it was clear the two people were separated into two small rooms internally. The soundproofing was such that you'd know with just a shout, but you still had to knock to enter. Everyone's room had a small desk and so empty space, clearly for placing personal items.
And the bathroom was also unexpectedly sowhat larger; two people shared one bathroom, and there was also a washing machine. But as long as ti was allocated well, it was generally no problem. The original awkwardness and drawbacks were perfectly resolved; everyone had private space and a place to easily relieve their bodily functions (新陳代謝 - xīnchén dàixiè - tabolism, here used humorously for excretion). Everyone who had suffered from prostate issues cheered joyfully, hailing the greatness of the Emperor and long live Penguin Logistics.
"But before that, there are still so things to say. Dangerous items must be reported to others before use."
"Does a novel count as a dangerous item?"
"Counts."
"Then pretend I didn't say anything…"
Looking at Texas's resolute expression, Li Lin shrugged.
Li Lin felt soone must be secretly stirring things up; he was just honestly writing a novel, how could soone bully a good person like him? It must be Proprietress Chongyue secretly saying sothing. Although what he wrote was a bit courting death , the heart of freedom is irrepressible—at worst, write [censored content]*
Making a ntal note against Proprietress Chongyue, Li Lin outwardly expressed obedience, having no objections. And Texas just nodded and moved on to the next topic.
"Then next is the issue of accommodation allocation, who do you each plan to live with?"
"I still think Exusiai and I should live—"
"I'll do it."
"Eh?!"
Looking at the cute yellow-haired idol volunteering beside him, Li Lin was instantly stunned. He even had a thought like, 'Could it be Sora actually really likes , so she made this request?'—a thought filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. But Sora quickly signaled with her eyes, dispelling his peachy dreams .
Feeling he should trust his ally, Li Lin closed his mouth. With no one objecting, the dormitory allocation was quickly completed. Lappland dejectedly ended up living with Croissant. Li Lin lived with Sora. Texas was still in the front room with Exusiai. And Angelina, for care reasons, was arranged in a separate room. After all, sleeping on the floor and such looked truly too miserable.
Apart from Lappland, no one else had any objections, so it passed just like that. And Li Lin was dragged by Sora into their room, slamd against the wall with a kabedon , startling Li Lin.
"Wh-what's wrong? Didn't you want to live with Texas?"
"Do you think Senior Croissant or Junior Lappland are the types with tight lips?"
Her face directly approached, Sora said with a gloomy expression:
"If we don't have this factual relationship as proof, they will definitely spill the beans under others' questioning."
"Tight-lipped or not, what does it matter? It's no big deal, right?"
"Consider it from my perspective; if I didn't live with you, and then paparazzi ca asking, and Senior Croissant and Junior Lappland suddenly said, 'Eh, there's nothing between them at all? After all, they're quite distant, not even as close as Exusiai,' what do you think my situation would be?"
"What would it be?"
"The other woman. Third party. Bitch. Because Senior Exusiai started it all, my image will be attacked like this."
"N-No way, right?"
Looking at Sora, whose eyes were sowhat dim, although Li Lin said "no way" verbally, thinking carefully, he felt it was still possible.
Before transmigrating, Li Lin had seen news about idol fans often having so morbid obsessions and actions. Although Originium Arts made Sora herself much safer, it couldn't guarantee people wouldn't dig deep into their relationship. Li Lin hadn't hidden his cohabitation with Exusiai during that ti; if it was dug up that they were still cohabiting now, things would indeed be a bit troubleso.
Considering it from Sora's perspective as a girl, finding a fake boyfriend was already a big sacrifice. Being labeled a third party on top of that was indeed a bit too much.
"Prophet, you really don't understand anything about the entertainnt industry."
Facing Li Lin, who seed to have just reacted, Sora shook her head and said with so emotion:
"Just groundless rumors can easily destroy a popular idol here, you know? Must be extrely cautious. I know Prophet, you and Senior Exusiai have a very deep friendship, but please consider a little. If even a small mistake happens, I'm finished."
"Now that you say that, indeed…"
"Right? So considering it from both our perspectives, it's indeed better for us two to be together."
"But I still feel sothing is off…"
"Do you know how many tis Senior Croissant almost tricked ?"
"…"
S-Seems to make so sense?
Recalling the carefree appearance of the bread person ( Croissant) and Lappland, Li Lin felt that although he could give them both so degree of confidence, this confidence, no matter what, felt a bit unsure. Croissant aside for now, Lappland… although Li Lin felt it shouldn't be like that, he instinctively didn't want to believe her.
But with cohabitation as proof, it wouldn't matter even if they were told. Instead, it could even muddy the waters a bit, which seed very appropriate no matter how you looked at it. To so extent, it could also avoid the talk of avoiding suspicion. Explaining after cohabiting, it could always be salvaged.
"Right? So only I can help you, and only I can be trusted by you. Let's cooperate for a win-win situation, shall we?"
"O-Okay…"
But why does it feel like sothing is off…
Looking at Sora extending her hand with a brilliant smile, Li Lin shook hands full of doubt, always feeling she was plotting sothing. Although there was no harm to himself, and no warning from intuition, the feeling of being sched against still made him feel sothing was strange.
