"William took her to the room that Nathan had just vacated!
The rooms on the top fifth floor were the fewest and most spacious...
Neil looked around, feeling somewhat satisfied, and her attitude towards William changed slightly. "I didn't expect you to have a bit of humanity."
"Of course."
He shamelessly agreed, without blinking, "To make it more convenient to torment you, I'll have you live next door to me."
"..."
Next... next door?
She pushed William aside and ran out of the room. Looking down the hallway, she saw only two doors, one to her room and one to the room next door.
So, she was about to start a cohabitation journey with William?
Wait...
No.
Not a cohabitation journey, but a living-next-door journey.
"Where do you live?"
Neil's first reaction was to look at Nathan. He chuckled awkwardly, trying to escape: "Me?"
"Well, I..."
He scratched his head and glanced at William, hoping for some cover.
If he told the truth, Neil would beat him up in no time.
"Did he threaten you?"
Neil understood, gritting her teeth, "You really went to great lengths to torment me!"
"Tormenting you is the joy of my life. If you weren't here, what meaning would my life have? Hmm?"
William raised an eyebrow arrogantly, speaking as if it were a matter of course.
He patted Nathan's shoulder and glanced at the door, "You can leave now!"
"Wait, I don't want to live with you!"
"Who said anything about living with you?"
William looked her up and down, full of disdain, "You might want to, but I don't."
"With your sleeping posture."
"Tsk tsk..."
He shook his head in mock admiration, thoroughly infuriating her. She charged at him, ready to punch him: "Bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
She swung her fist, but before she could reach William, he blocked her.
He pressed his hand against her forehead, holding her steadily in place.
"Nathan, what are you standing there for? Help me!"
"..." Was Neil joking?
He didn't dare move.
He pretended not to see and turned around, slinking downstairs!
"Bastard—"
Neil fumed, opening her mouth to bite William.
He dodged effortlessly, hands in his pockets, lazily walking into his room. Before closing the door, he turned back to give her a devilish smile: "Six-thirty, have dinner delivered on time. If you're late..."
Heh.
He just smiled, not saying what would happen if she was late.
But she knew, if she were even a minute late, he would torment her even more.
Ahhh—
She was on the verge of collapse!
How did she end up with such a jerk of a childhood friend?
Neil, dejected and crestfallen, tidied up her room briefly before heading to her class to report in!
She was a transfer student arriving mid-term, and everything in the class was unfamiliar to her.
The classmates had their own cliques, and she sat alone in a corner, forming a stark contrast—
The incident at the academy gate that morning was the talk of the school, with everyone speculating about Neil's relationship with William.
Until her relationship with William was clear, no one dared to provoke her or treat her poorly.
Even the vice president had been scolded, indicating her unusual position in William's eyes.
But some people were not convinced and insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
As the class beauty, Lily had harbored resentment towards Neil from the moment she walked into the classroom.
Not only was Neil good-looking, but she also overshadowed Lily, the school beauty.
William was the dream of many girls in the academy. Why should Neil have him so easily?
Lily, fuming, stood up, walked to Neil's desk, and slammed her hand down, speaking arrogantly, "Hey, I have something to ask you."
