A girl from the next room saw Gu Mang leaving the room earlier. After staring in the direction where Gu Mang had left in for a good while, she walked over to Room 409 and knocked on its door.
"Come in," She heard someone say. She pushed the door open, only to see three people staring back at her in bafflement.
"...You are?"
"Hi, I’m Xu Wan and I stay right next door in Room 408."
Seeing that the girl was also a freshman, Tang Xiaoxiao invited her in and got a chair for her to sit. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"Thank you." Xu Wan sat down, her eyes straying to the bed near the window. "So, Gu Mang’s your roommate."
Zhengmiao asked, "You know her?"
She responded with a laugh, "Almost half the school’s population knows her." The other half has yet to hear the rumors, but it won’t be long before everyone knows.
While playing a game, Tang Xiaoxiao chimed in, "It’s natural that many people would want to find out about her since she’s so pretty."
"I guess that’s one of the reasons," replied their neighbor thoughtfully. "But she’s really impressive. She became one of the university’s most influential figures as soon as she arrived."
"Pardon?" She looked up in confusion, as did Zheng Miao and Su Jiaying. One of the university’s most influential figures?
Xu Wan was floored by their ignorance, never expecting them to know zilch about their roommate. "Don’t tell me you guys don’t know anything about her."
The trio exchanged puzzled looks and shook their heads in response. Tang Xiaoxiao then said, "Her name seems to ring a bell, but I just can’t remember where I heard it before."
Xu Wan’s eyes bulged wide in disbelief. "Of course you’ve heard it before. Her name came up several times on search engines when the exams’ results came out."
"But she told us that she didn’t take the college exams," said Su Jiaying. Since she didn’t take the exams, why did her name top the search listings?
Su Jiaying, however, pursed her lips as she looked down, deep in thought. Gu Mang is the top scholar? Full marks?
