Chapter 3: Dormitories

In the week after that day, Lin Xi was busy with the start of school and adjusting to campus life in China. The professional class was a Chinese version of a similar course she had taken abroad, and the course content was generally similar except for some professional terms that she was not familiar with.

She sat boredly in the lower seat, borrowed a piece of paper from Han Yuan and scribbled on the paper, calculating the furniture purchase and budget for the apartment.

Whether the sofa is leather or fabric, whether the dining table is modern or pastoral, what is the main color of the painting, whether the bed is bought by IKEA ready-made or custom-made, she listed them one by one, anyway, it is more interesting than the lecture of the professor on the podium.

Although the apartment is rented, she doesn't want the furniture used by others, and finally found the current landlord, the well-decorated apartment that has just been transferred at the end of August, and the furniture has not been purchased and rented online.

It is precisely because of her persistence that a week after the start of school, she still sleeps on a simple mattress, and her home is empty.

Han Yuan is a graduate student who was directly promoted from undergraduate, living in a four-person dormitory, with two roommates from her previous undergraduate, who are also undergraduates, and a senior sister.

After class, Han Yuan invited Lin Xi to the dormitory to play and introduced her to her roommates. Lin Xi had never seen a dormitory in a domestic university, so he went there out of curiosity, which was a bit similar to the accommodation during military training in high school. Half the bed and a bathroom.

Lin Xi only had two other roommates when he went, Wu You was Han Yuan's former roommate, and Jiang Linlin, a senior student.

The three of them found a small shop in the student street to eat barbecue.

Lin Xi also played in the dormitory for a while and didn't see the fourth person in the same dormitory, and asked casually, "What about your other roommate?"

"Xiao Ran, she didn't live in a dormitory much last semester. Wu You reached out and took the mutton skewers and replied.

There were quite a few people at the barbecue, and most of them looked like students. The environment of the store is also passable in the student street, and in the urban area, such a store may be closed several times due to environmental problems. But the taste is really good, and Lin Xi also misses the down-to-earth taste of such a roadside shop the most. She asked for cauliflower sausage and duck gizzards, and then asked for a fried noodles and a bottle of beer, and ate it with relish.

Jiang Linlin saw that Lin Xi asked for beer, and she didn't drink milk tea reservedly, and asked for beer to drink together.

"Han Yuan, Wu You, you can't do it, you're not as good as a primary school girl. Lin Xi joked that the first sip of beer at the barbecue restaurant on a summer night was refreshing.

Han Yuan took a sip of bubble tea, sucked a few pearls and chewed them in her cheeks. She is familiar with Wu You, and most of them are joking at the table, and Lin Xi and Jiang Linlin occasionally clink glasses and insert a few words. chatting and chatting, it came to the topic of Lin Xi not living in the dormitory, and Wu You was puzzled and asked why.

"People used to rent apartments when they studied in the United States, and they weren't used to living in dormitories. Han Yuan teased, the words were not good, but the tone was just a joke between friends, and Lin Xi didn't mind.

Xiaoxiao explained, "I lived in the dormitory in my freshman year, and my roommate moved out later, so I used to live alone. ”

Wu You, "It seems that I haven't experienced collective life, and my life is a big loss." ”

Han Yuan's eyes rolled, "Hey, otherwise you can live in our dormitory tonight, Xiao Ran won't come back anyway, you can sleep in her bed." ”

Her tone was full of anticipation, and Lin Xi thought about it, "It's not okay to sleep in her bed without telling anyone." ”

Han Yuan and Wu You waved their hands together, "No, no, she won't come back to live anyway, and she took most of her things away when she came back two days ago." I'll send her a WeChat message and say, it's a big deal, we'll wash the sheets for her after you sleep, and then you and I can't squeeze a bed. ”

The more Han Yuan spoke, the more excited she became, and Lin Xi thought about it again and agreed. The four of them returned to the dormitory, and the little girls huddled together to watch variety shows and talk about gossip, Lin Xi couldn't help but think of the military training in the first year of high school. Another bowl of instant noodles, full of memories of youth.

The four of them went from being a bad egg when they were children to having a crush in high school, and they chatted until two or three o'clock in the morning before they fell asleep.

But early the next morning, the door of the dormitory before eight o'clock was knocked on by the dormitory aunt. Han Yuan and Wu You's beds were close to the door, Han Yuan slept lightly, put on a knitted sweater and went to open the door, "Auntie's early in the morning-"

The words were stuck halfway, and I saw that the dormitory manager aunt was followed by three people, two men and one woman, all dressed in casual clothes, but all with serious expressions.

"Comrade Police-Inspector, this is the dormitory. The housekeeper winced and reached out and pointed into the room.

One of the men glanced at him and waved her hand to signal that she could leave, "Excuse me." ”

When the aunt left, the policewoman poked her head into the house, and then looked back at Han Yuan, "Tell your roommates to get up, get dressed and tell us." The words fell, and without waiting for Han Yuan's reaction, he closed the door for her.
