Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1091

Chapter 1091: Dormmates

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Gu Zi lived nearby and technically didn’t need to stay on campus, she figured having a dorm bed might come in handy. It would be a perfect place to rest during lunchtime or a cozy refuge on rainy or windy days when going back home felt like a chore. Besides, it just seemed more convenient to have a dorm room.

The dormitory building had clearly seen better days, with that vintage institutional charm that screamed early-2000s budget.

Gu Zi was assigned a room on the second floor—an absolute win in her books. No need to haul herself up endless stairs.

She was the first to arrive, and as she pushed the door open, the layout was immediately clear: four beds arranged neatly, no top bunks for sleeping—only for storage. Each bed was a lower bunk, meaning more comfort and no ladders.

A small balcony peeked out on one side, equipped with clothes-drying rods and a radiator. On either end of the balcony, two sets of cabinets stood sentinel, their four doors hinting at the potential for territorial wars to come.

She picked the bed closest to the balcony. The air was fresher there, and honestly, who didn’t want a bit more light and breeze?

The school had provided brand-new bedding, so there was no need to bring her own. Since she was already here, she figured she might as well make the bed right away and then head out to buy some daily necessities. Even if she was only planning to use the room for the occasional nap, it was still going to be her space. Better to come prepared and not have to borrow things from others later on.

She had just finished laying out the sheets when a knock sounded at the door. Two girls entered, luggage in tow, chatting animatedly. The moment they spotted Gu Zi, they beamed and hurried over to greet her.

"Hi there! Have you already picked a bed?" one of them asked cheerfully. "We got assigned this room too—looks like we’re going to be roommates! I’m Tang Xue, and this is Li Juan."

Gu Zi smiled politely and introduced herself. "Nice to meet you both. I’m Gu Zi. Looking forward to living with you."

The moment Li Juan laid eyes on Gu Zi, her expression lit up like a shopping mall at Christmas. Unable to help herself, she leaned in closer, eyes practically sparkling. "Gu Zi, you’re so pretty. You have this amazing aura about you, and your fashion sense is totally on point. Which high school did you go to? I bet you were the campus beauty, right?"

Gu Zi chuckled. "I’m not from the capital. I actually came here from Guangcheng."

She tilted her head slightly. "Judging by your reaction, are you both locals?"

That caught Li Juan off guard. She’d been sure Gu Zi was a native Beijinger. With her elegance and polished look, it just fit. After all, the capital was the epicenter of both politics and style in the country—surely anyone this chic had to be from here. But now... she wasn’t so sure.

Slightly embarrassed, Li Juan nodded. "Yeah, we’re both locals. But Guangcheng’s a great city too—big economy down south and all that. We’ve definitely heard about it."

The three of them chatted casually for a while, and in that time, Gu Zi began to piece things together.

As it turned out, Imperial Capital University had something akin to a residency protection policy—the admissions score requirements for locals were significantly lower than for outsiders.

It suddenly made perfect sense why three out of four roommates in this dorm were from the capital. The competition for out-of-towners to get into this elite institution must be cutthroat.
