603 Noisy Roommates and Tight Spaces
“Pit!” Freya laughed so hard she nearly choked.
The two of them had to carry luggage up the stairs, since Yunice had been assigned to a room on the third floor.
As they hauled everything up, Freya grumbled, “Wyatt’s slacking. He knows his wife’s starting school, and he couldn’t even donate enough to get dorm elevators installed…”
Yunice, with a suitcase looped over her wrist and a washbasin in one hand, looked up at the room number. “Freya, it’s this one.”
She knocked on the door, then pushed it open.
A wave of intense snail noodle stink hit her in the face, making Yunice instinctively take a step back.
Freya wasn’t as lucky–she took the full blast head–on and immediately staggered back, her eyes rolling like she was about to faint.
Two seconds later, she shoved the suitcase into Yunice’s hands. “You go in first. I’m gonna wait for the smell to clear out…”
Then she escaped into the hallway for some fresh air.
Yunice walked in without hesitation. There were two girls in the room–one at her desk slurping noodles and watching a drama on her tablet, the other tugging at her hair while listening to a language track.
Noticing someone enter, both girls looked over. “You are… ? ”
The one who spoke kept her voice low, as if worried she might disturb someone.
Yunice instinctively glanced up at the bunk with its curtain drawn. Someone must be asleep inside.
She lowered her voice and answered politely, “I’m transferring into this dorm.”
She showed them the slip from the dorm manager confirming her room number.
Once they checked it, the two girls quickly warmed up and helped her move her things in. “The bed by the bathroom’s still empty. Hope that’s okay?”
Everything worked on a first–come, first–served basis. Yunice wasn’t picky.
Besides, this school’s dorms were already in great condition. Even being next to the bathroom wasn’t a big deal.
After they helped her settle in, the girls reminded her, “Try to keep things qui curtain sleeps during the day. If she gets woken up, she’ll flip.”
Yunice nodded slowly, then gave them an OK sign with her hand.

Finally, she took out some small gifts she’d brought–those popular RabuBoo plushies that were trending lately. A

They were cheap but adorable, perfect for breaking the ice.
Sure enough, the two girls were thrilled. “We really hit the roommate jackpot.
Yunice looked at the bunk with the curtain and placed another plushie on the desk below it . Hopefully the girl would see it when she woke up.
With everything in place, Yunice walked Freya out.
Freya,muttered, “If Wyatt saw this setup, he’d drag you home on the spot.”
“This place is actually really decent. I’ve lived in worse,” Yunice said.
She wasn’t exaggerating, but Freya still looked pained. “You really have to go through all this for school
Even if she wasn’t married to Wyatt, Chang Huaxu alone wouldn’t let her suffer like this . Z
“It’s something I have to do. I need to reclaim what I lost,” Yunice said.
If Elsie hadn’t derailed her life for three years, she would’ve graduated by now.
People always had their own weird goals–things others couldn’t understand.
Freya sighed. “Alright then. I’ll stay at a hotel near the school for a couple days. Once I’m sure no one’s going to bully you, I’ll leave.”
“You really don’t have to-”
“Non–negotiable!”
Still, Yunice had a feeling Wyatt would probably storm over before morning.
Meanwhile, at Huaxin Pharmaceuticals-
Wyatt couldn’t focus on anything. He ended the meeting early and headed to the CEO’s office to grab his keys and leave.
Just as he reached the door, Laurie came swaggering over in a lab coat, blocking his way.
“Don’t go anywhere yet–sign my leave form! I’m taking a month off!”
Wyatt frowned. “Why the hell do you need a month off?”
“Are you serious right now?” Laurie raised her voice. “I’m not your damn workhorse . I ate and slept in the lab during the last outbreak. A vacation is the least I deserve.”
When she refused to budge, Wyant impatiently snatched her leave request ar across it.
Laurie took it with a satisfied grin. “Medical University, here I come .”

Wyatt was already walking past her but came to a full stop. He turned back. “ What did you just say ? Where

are you going?”
Back at the dorm, Yunice stayed in for the night.
To her surprise, Wyatt hadn’t shown up.
Just before midnight, the curtain–drawn bunk finally rustled.
Yunice hadn’t fallen asleep yet. She peeked through the gap and saw the girl across from her climbing down and sitting at her desk to put on makeup.
She glanced at the plushie Yunice had left and immediately pushed it aside without a word.
Yunice figured she was probably the antisocial type, so she rolled over and went to sleep without saying anything.
