Chapter 194: 193 Roommate’s Joyful Shenanigans
When Han Yixuan returned to the dormitory, all her roommates were there. The two girls with whom she had a slightly more distant relationship were both sitting in front of their computers, one listening to music, the other watching dramas.
There was also one roommate with whom she was quite close; after half a year, she could already be considered a new best friend. Seeing her return, she put down the romance novel in her hand and asked curiously: “Why do you look… so full of spring breeze?”
Han Yixuan: “What do you mean full of spring breeze?”
The best friend pointed at the mirror by the door: “See for yourself!”
Han Yixuan turned around and looked at herself in the mirror—this girl was pursing her lips, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned, her eyes full of laughter.
After all, when not in front of Wang Heng, there was no need to suppress her joyful emotions.
Han Yixuan walked to her best friend’s side and took a small box out of her bag, dangling it in front of her.
“Hey hey hey, what’s this? Little brown bottle?”
The next second, another roommate flung off her headphones and crowded over: “Little brown bottle! Yixuan, did you buy this yourself?”
The best friend guessed: “Yixuan just bought a gift for a boy yesterday; this must be the return gift from that boy, right?”
Han Yixuan put away the skincare products box and nodded with a smile: “Yeah, he gave it to me.”
Best friend: “So have you two confirmed your relationship?”
Han Yixuan shook her head: “Not yet…”
The roommate who crowded over was clearly a bit too straightforward and said: “He even bought you a little brown bottle, and you’re not together yet? Impressive. We all thought you didn’t date, but you quietly reeled in a rich second generation!”
Han Yixuan immediately felt a bit unhappy: “What do you mean ‘reeled in’?”
The best friend also said: “Don’t talk nonsense; she really likes him!”
At this moment, the other roommate who had been silent all along suddenly sneered: “Yeah, heh… really likes him. She doesn’t like the tall and handsome student union vice chairman, but really likes someone who can afford a one-thousand-yuan gift.”
The best friend slapped the table angrily: “What are you talking about? You like that vice chairman yourself; what does it have to do with Xiao Xuan!”
The sneering roommate unceremoniously retorted: “What does it have to do with you?”
The other roommate quickly tried to mediate: “Don’t fight, don’t fight; we’re all sisters in the same dorm! It’s just some stinky man; there are plenty in the world. What’s there to argue about!”
For a moment, the dormitory fell quiet.
“Don’t argue anymore; no more talking about this in the future.” Han Yixuan said softly, then quickly walked out of the dormitory.
At the window at the end of the corridor, the young girl took out her mobile phone and stared blankly for a while.
She likes him, or the gift he bought… does this question even need consideration? Money is just an accessory that comes with that person. Compared to gifts like skincare products, what she looked forward to more was chatting with him on the bus about a whole summer vacation dream.
But the feeling of being misunderstood by others was really hard to bear. Even though her relationship with that cold-tongued roommate was the most distant, even though it was just casual sarcasm, compared to that, she would rather others question her exam grades for cheating or something—at least that’s better than questioning the deepest intention.
But Wang Heng’s investment seemed about to succeed again.
Han Yixuan opened her mobile browser and checked the stock he mentioned. Limit up, continuous limit ups for many days; at this rate, his funds would definitely exceed a million. If she were with him in the future, others would surely say things like “she’s just after his money.”
And she could never prove her innocence.
Or rather, the only way to prove her innocence would be if Wang Heng’s future investments failed miserably, losing everything and even incurring huge debts, while she still stayed by his side—then no one could question her anymore… but of course Han Yixuan didn’t want to see him fall into such a miserable situation.
“But so what?”
Han Yixuan murmured to herself, recalling the comments under that song Lost that she watched with Pei Ningle a couple of days ago. Even Pei Ningle could bear people’s bad reviews; couldn’t she handle a few gossipy remarks?
The young girl quickly adjusted her emotions and returned to the dormitory.
The dormitory was quiet, with some reading books and others watching dramas.
Han Yixuan sat down at her desk and opened her securities investment textbook.
Let others say whatever they want; I’ll just do my own thing—that’s enough—the young girl gritted her teeth silently, thinking to herself.

It was another new morning; Wang Heng sat at his desk in the dormitory and poked the little hamster in the cage with his finger.
Taking advantage of Wang Ke being absent and Fu Hanwen snoring in his sleep, he didn’t bother taking the cage out and asked in a low voice: “That stock—when should I sell?”
The hamster lay in its nest, opening one small eye, and answered in an even lower voice: “Didn’t I tell you already? The day it stops limit up and resumes fluctuations.”
Wang Heng: “So exactly which day? Give me a specific date so I can arrange other things.”
The hamster yawned: “You just keep watching it; anyway, when that day comes, you’ll have plenty of time to sell.”
Wang Heng picked up the bottle of sunflower seeds and shook it: “If you don’t tell me, I’ll take it away?”
“…Okay, next Wednesday—will that do?”
The hamster said helplessly, and seeing him put the sunflower seeds back, it lay down again.
At this moment, Wang Heng received a text message from Qin Meng:
【Although you didn’t become a special consultant, Director Lu instructed me to give you another salary raise—congratulations! First-year university student with a monthly salary of eight thousand, and no need to clock in. We professionals were far behind you at your age! Also, Director Lu hopes you’ll write an analysis report on Qian Du; if it’s good, there’s a bonus.】
Wang Heng looked at this rather long text message and sighed softly after a moment.
As expected, the special consultant from upper management was just bait for now. He had been hoping to have some right to speak in front of them, to offer advice on future investments and share the cake with the big shot—but it seemed he was overthinking it.
The little hamster nearby couldn’t help complaining: “You’re still not satisfied? Don’t you think you’re a bit too greedy?”
“Sorry for having expectations too high… whatever, it doesn’t matter. Not promoting a cheat like me is their loss.”
With that, Wang Heng opened his laptop computer and started writing the analysis report on Qian Du.
Since there’s a bonus for writing this, naturally he’d take it if offered.
He opened the document, and his hands flew across the keyboard; the word count in the document skyrocketed like a rocket, just like a pervert web novel author updating twenty thousand words a day—things he had already thought of didn’t need conceiving, so writing was fast.
And he was using a “click-clack” blue switch keyboard, which felt especially satisfying to type on.
However, less than two minutes later, Fu Hanwen’s snoring stopped.
Moments later, Fu Hanwen’s voice full of resentment sounded behind Wang Heng: “Teacher Wang, I went to bed at dawn last night; can I sleep in a bit?”
Wang Heng: “Didn’t you buy earplugs?”
Fu Hanwen glanced at his mechanical keyboard and sighed: “I tried them earlier; the earplugs can’t block it!”
Wang Heng: “…Fine, I’ll go find a place outside.”
