She was extremely nervous. When she saw that Yuan Ziji was about to open the draw, she was the first to eagerly run over to see the number she had drawn.

Even though the two were just arguing, Lilith is now standing close to Minamoto no Shiki, as if the two are very close.

Although she was dissatisfied, Minamoto no Shiki still followed her heart and unfolded the paper ball.

The crumpled paper was unfolded, revealing numbers, and the voice of Minamoto no Shiki echoed in the living room.

"Why is it three?!"

Isn't that the smallest room?

Lilith shouted "YES" happily behind her, her gloating expression needing no further explanation.

Genji clenched her small fists, but the expression on her face could only be one of helplessness.

“I am number two,” Miyamoto Maizo suddenly said, unwrapping her own paper ball. However, she was neither surprised nor delighted by the result.

Lilith was now completely satisfied; she knew she was in room number one without even opening the box!

Stay where you are, no need to move!

She even happily started a devout prayer on the spot, putting her hands together at her chest, closing her eyes and murmuring incomprehensible ancient foreign languages.

She was giving thanks to the gods and ancestors she worshipped, even though in her family, the two were considered equal, as Lilith's family had always believed themselves to be descendants of the gods.

While some were happy, others were naturally sad. Yuan Ziji looked extremely upset and dejected, her shoulders trembling. She thought to herself that it would have been better not to fight at all. Now, even the medium-sized rooms were gone!

People always want more when they don't suffer losses, and then they regret it when they do.

But Miyamoto Maizō suddenly came to Minamoto Shiki's side and, without saying a word, swapped his own crumpled paper with the crumpled paper in her palm.

Originally heartbroken, Minamoto no Shikihime's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the gentle and noble-looking Miyamoto no Maizō with her princess hair.

Miyamoto Maizo smiled and winked at her, showing no intention of changing his mind, and said softly.

"Let's keep things as they are, Murasaki."

“Sister Wuzang…” Yuan Ziji was moved, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Miyamoto Maizou smiled and stroked Minamoto Shiki's hair, feeling as if they were still very young when they had become playmates. Because Minamoto Shiki was rather greedy, Miyamoto Maizou would often give in to her, whether it was snacks, toys, or even the affection from the adults of both families.

This is just a replay of the past. When it comes to trivial matters, Miyamoto Maizō still prefers to give way to his spoiled and greedy younger sister, Murasaki-hime.

But as time passed and circumstances changed, something finally appeared in Miyamoto Maizo's life that he could not yield to no matter what.

This time, Miyamoto Maizo was serious, just like when he heard Minamoto Shiki's words at the end of the food street that day.

She said, "Let's have a competition to see who can win Lord Jiang Tang's favor first!"

Miyamoto Maizo knew she was at a huge disadvantage, but she would not give up, never.

………………

Despite the commotion, the rooms assigned in the end remained the same, which made Jiang Tang somewhat amused.

However, he is very good at regulating people's emotions by changing the topic.

"Now that the room is completely cleared out, let's start cleaning the apartment and get ready for a thorough cleaning."

"We're going to do the cleaning ourselves? Can't we just hire a housekeeper or something?" After a brief moment of disappointment, Minamoto no Shiki regained her composure and said.

"No, you're living at school, so you need to tone down your princess attitude."

Jiang Tang offered a blunt reminder.

"……All right."

Her status as an international student was hard-won; even her family had to pull a lot of strings.

The reason for this is that it takes place within China's borders, which is not within their family's sphere of influence, so their influence is limited.

Therefore, Yuan Ziji cannot be willful; she must cherish her status as an international student. She also cannot fail any courses, otherwise, being expelled would be the end of her! She wouldn't be able to compete with other girls for Jiang Tang!

Seeing that Yuan Ziji and the others were somewhat confused, Jiang Tang had to carry out the task given to him by a certain irresponsible counselor: to guide them in cleaning their dormitory.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tang offered words of comfort.

"However, I will stay and help you. Now, I would like to ask you to grant me permission to enter your room temporarily."

Jiang Tang was still meticulous about etiquette, which stemmed from his aristocratic education in his childhood, although that was a long, long time ago.

Jiang Tang tried his best not to think about the past, but he would still think about it occasionally. Those warm and happy days, and his only trouble every day was going against the girl who lived in his house at the time, who was also his fiancée, Jiang Peining.

The two have naturally clashing personalities. If Jiang Tang is already incredibly assertive, he has already shown the potential to be a sadist at a young age.

Then there's Jiang Peining, who's even more of a headache... She has a queenly aura, you could even say she's an empress, a modern-day empress.

I really don't understand where she learned that self-important attitude. Anyway, Jiang Tang dislikes her, just as she dislikes Jiang Tang.

The two were not in love; they spent all their time fighting each other, each in a state of "disliking the other but unable to get rid of the other."

Yet these two people gave each other their first kiss.

It sounds like the sun has risen in the west... unbelievable.

This matter remains a mystery to this day.

Even when Jiang Tang recalled the memories, he remained silent—a silence shared by both of them.

I wonder where she is now, and whether she is still living as her queen.

Jiang Tang once thought that he would never come into contact with people at her level again in his life.

Because once something is lost, it is very difficult to get it back.

But now, he suddenly feels lost, unsure if he will ever have the chance to meet her again in the future.

Will our first encounter repeat itself? She glanced at me with haughty eyes, then gave me a disdainful smile.

………………

"Jiang Tang can come and go from my room at will! And it's not temporary, it's permanent!"

Upon hearing Jiang Tang's polite request, Lilith immediately assured him.

“Mine too!” Genji was naturally unwilling to be left behind. Although Miyamoto Maizō didn’t say anything, she nodded to Jiang Tang. Clearly, she and Genji meant the same thing.

"I don't come here often, so don't make it sound like I'm going to live with you."

Jiang Tang said with a smile.

Lilith then asked a rather naive question in return.

"Eh... not living together? I thought I'd snagged a big room on the first floor and would have a chance to live with Jiang Tang..."

Several black lines immediately appeared on Minamoto no Shiki's forehead. So this is the most important reason you didn't say!

178 Sun

Hearing Lilith's perplexing statement.

Jiang Tang, feeling both helpless and amused, ruffled Lilith's hair... hair!

Otherwise, where else can you massage it?

Lilith's long, golden waves were so tempting to touch, and after ruffling her hair in a venting manner, Jiang Tang began his "housekeeper" duties.

The busy period goes without saying, but the most tiring part was not the work itself, but teaching the three young ladies how to do chores and some common sense about life.

It's really hard to imagine what a mess these three would have made of living together without my tireless guidance.

However, it is obvious that the school will not allow the three of them to bring maids or servants to stay there. That would be too provocative to the school's authority and would also pose many safety risks. In short, there is no room for compromise.

So on regular school days, Lilith could only be separated from her maid, Natsuki, for a short time, and then she could comfortably enjoy the services from her maid and other servants during holidays.

Of course, from Xia Yue's perspective, wouldn't this be a good thing?

Paid leave, and no need to take care of a pampered princess or anything...

Xia Yue probably wants to thank Jiang Tang.

After a long period of busy work, looking at the clean and brand-new apartment in front of them, the three young ladies felt a unique sense of accomplishment.

It's time to let these evil capitalists' daughters experience the charm of labor!

Lilith let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

"Finally done! Let's go out and get something to eat!" Lilith suggested. "It'll be our first meal together in the dorm!"

“A dormitory dinner…” Miyamoto Maizo murmured. This novel idea sounded interesting, and her eyes gradually brightened.

Minamoto no Shiki also thought it was a good idea.

Because she was so tired she could barely stand it. She's quite pampered, and although she probably did the least work, she was the most exhausted of the three.

Miyamoto Maizo didn't seem to feel anything, while Lilith enjoyed the work, because she usually exercised a lot, such as riding horses and playing tennis.

So when the "exhausted" Minamoto no Shiki heard that there was food, she immediately disregarded her personal conflict with Lilith.

"Let's go eat hot pot!" she immediately suggested, raising her hand.

Jiang Tang thought she would suggest going to eat cherry blossom cuisine, and that she would treat.

But in fact, ever since Minamoto no Shiki came to China, she has completely abandoned the so-called cherry blossom cuisine, sushi, and oden, and has become an absolute hot pot fanatic!

Hot pot is the best in the world! YYD... This meme seems really old, cough cough.

"Eating hot pot on such a hot day, you really know how to do it," Jiang Tang only complained, because he noticed that the midday sun outside the window was already intense.

But he wasn't too averse to hot pot itself.

"Since there's air conditioning, we can have hot pot anytime!"

"Hot pot, huh? Sounds good, I agree!" Lilith had only tried hot pot once with her maid, Xia Yue. Although it was a bit too spicy, it was still delicious after being rinsed with water.

"Then let's discuss where to eat?" Lilith asked next.

"I know a newly opened hot pot restaurant that's really good, it's called... Yun Chu Hot Pot City! Yes, that's the name!"

Yuan Ziji excitedly recommended the restaurant, saying she had wanted to eat there for a long time but had never had the chance.

Although Sakura Restaurant was a little toy given to her by her family, as the "manager," she couldn't just completely relinquish control and leave it in a state of disorder, could she?

So during the summer vacation, Minamoto no Shiki didn't actually eat, drink, and have fun every day. In fact, her days were much busier than Lilith's and Miyamoto Maizo's. She was the type who worked hard with her mind but not her body. Every day she had to work hard to increase the popularity and profits of the Sakura Restaurant.

In a sense, Minamoto no Murasaki was a born business genius.
