Chapter 98: A Good Idea

Hearing Yu Shan's words, Chu Luoxi imagined the scene for a moment and felt it was utterly unacceptable, sending a wave of goosebumps across her entire body.

Some things only grew more disgusting the more one talked about them.

Chu Luoxi shook her head vigorously, as if still shaken by what she had heard, indicating that if she truly had to live in that room, she might suffer from nightmares. That kind of shocking scene was one she hoped she had never witnessed, for it was simply ruining her eyes!

Zhu Xue Shuang and Liu Yujia had such good fortune; even if they learned about it later, they would never experience the same jolt as seeing it with their own eyes...

Moreover, Chu Luoxi felt a deep sense of loss about this. She had come here intending to retaliate against Wang Yanan, yet it appeared the two were already locked in combat, with the opponent stabbing herself in the back before the fight even began. All her fervent blood had been wasted—what a crushing disappointment!

It was evident that the opponent's sheer stupidity was quite heart-wrenching.

"Why don't I go speak to Teacher Tang about swapping your three rooms for a different dorm? Freshmen entering school have their accommodations in flux; perhaps there are vacant rooms available." Lan Yage suggested this, also concerned that Chu Luoxi had witnessed such a disgraceful scene and would carry psychological scars from it.

The repercussions of this matter would be significant. The leaders at Empire Shadow prized the agency's reputation above all else. If Chu Luoxi and the others continued living in that dorm, they risked being implicated. Rumors had immense power; over time, this could be twisted into something unrecognizable!

After considering it, Chu Luoxi still felt somewhat depressed, but she didn't refuse the class monitor's goodwill: "Then thank you, Class Monitor. There's no need to force it—if swapping is possible, all the better."

Although the three of them now lived off-campus, it might not have been solely due to Wang Yanan. After all, once filming of Crystal concluded, they would still need to return to the dorm. Their senior-year courses remained crucial. But by senior year, things would be far freer, and avoiding that woman would naturally be ideal...

Lan Yage nodded, assuring her he would do everything in his power.

After receiving comfort from the group, Chu Luoxi seized the chance to escape. She had no desire to re-enter that dorm and would leave first. On the way, she called Zhu Xue Shuang and the others to explain the situation, prompting their alarmed exclamations.

Releasing a breath, Chu Luoxi shook off the daze from the shock. Strange occurrences happened daily, and this year seemed especially rife with them! She wondered if Wang Yanan and her benefactor played the same games. Tsk tsk, one truly cannot judge a book by its cover. In her previous life, she had followed one for years.

Secrets were hard to hide in the entertainment industry. Stepping into Empire Shadow was like taking one foot inside; many stars had launched their careers from there. Thus, as soon as Chu Luoxi had barely left school, she received several calls inquiring about the matter.

"My god, your roommate is too... too much? Such audacity—doesn't she fear being discovered?" Ji Yanjin was left utterly speechless by the shock, initially refusing to believe his agent when it was mentioned.

"Ay, Xiao Xi, did you wash your eyes or not? Seeing such filthy things, watch out for infections..." This was Leng Daji's muttering, leaving Chu Luoxi completely at a loss for words, though she acknowledged the wisdom in it.

Then came teasing calls from the Jiang Shan crew, all about this incident, leaving Chu Luoxi with no remaining energy to roll her eyes. In this networked age, information spread at lightning speed.

When Chu Luoxi received the call from God Xiao, she immediately wondered if the event had been exaggerated. It had escalated to alarming heights! If Leng Lu knew her thoughts, he would no doubt demand special treatment; after all, he was Xiao Jingxuan's agent, so knowing was only natural, but for Xiao Jingxuan himself to know would be peculiar. What kind of conclusion was that?

"What are you thinking now?" Xiao Jingxuan asked with perfect calm, nothing like the murderous glint and twitching brows that had flashed across his face moments after receiving the news.

"Ai, what can I think?" Chu Luoxi gazed skyward, dejected, feeling that despite giving it her all today, she had achieved nothing she wanted—at least not because of her. Still, there was some lingering frustration: "The school leaders have already taken her away. What good is thinking now?"

"Just wondering if you have a soft heart." Xiao Jingxuan gently stroked the pen in his hand, the corners of his mouth curving slightly; the background suddenly gleamed far more brilliantly than before, as if picturing Chu Luoxi's dejected expression.

"Soft heart? Impossible. I have no connection to her, even though we're roommates we've been on terrible terms. Would I be that naive little white rabbit?" Chu Luoxi replied in astonishment, still annoyed at not having taken action herself—where had the softness come from?

She knew all too well that showing mercy to certain people meant waiting for death.

At this, Xiao Jingxuan's smile deepened: "That's fine. Then ignore her. In the future, there's probably little chance of seeing her again."

"Huh, Brother Xiao, does that mean the school will expel her?" Although Chu Luoxi had considered it, she couldn't be certain; after all, one couldn't apply common sense to events befalling a brainless person!

"Yes, definitely!" Xiao Jingxuan's dark eyes flashed with a chilling intent: "Don't forget, the recent atmosphere has been poor. Zhou Yuying's matter is already raging. Empire Shadow cherishes its reputation most; actions that tarnish school discipline at this critical moment will face the severest punishment."

Looking at what that person had done? The three of them sharing a dorm with her now lived in constant unease. Even if the school leaders showed mercy, he could ensure a truly harsh verdict. Wang Yanan's case fundamentally implicated every student at Empire Shadow, especially those still enrolled—truly, how profound was the sin?

Exiling her would be too lenient.

"Oh, mmm-hmm!" Chu Luoxi undeservedly found herself quietly pleased with the outcome; the three of them were cursed to be unlucky, forced to live with such a person, dealing with her was endlessly irritating. Best to dispatch her with one strike so their days ahead could finally be peaceful.

Hanging up, Xiao Jingxuan stared at his phone in thought. Chu Luoxi's response pleased him greatly, reminiscent of how if Zhu and Liu's families had shown no mercy, the person could never have been stirred up, sparing Chu Luoxi these troubles.

"Hello, hello, what exactly are you plotting?" Leng Lu propped his chin on both hands atop the desk, growing impatient after waiting so long for Xiao Jingxuan's reply.

"...Sign a contract for her. After all, she possesses the capital and drive; some positions require talents like her." Xiao Jingxuan raised an eyebrow, his words enigmatic and profound.

"Ah, you've truly decided on this?" Leng Lu's face registered utter astonishment, his expression a mix of surprise, excitement, and bewilderment!

"Have objections?" Xiao Jingxuan fixed him with a steady gaze and spoke slowly.

"No no, I'll make the arrangements immediately." Leng Lu declared loudly, his blood pressure clearly running amok.
