Chapter 52: Residence Hall
Walking into the dark dormitory building, a rotten smell wafted in the face, the concrete floor was still stained with undried water, and the narrow corridors and aisles were punctuated by students carrying hot water kettles.
Li Xian settled down and found dormitory 108.
The dormitory door was wide open, there was no one inside, and the old-fashioned beds were divided into two levels.
Li Xian counted that there were four beds in total, which means that there will be three roommates living together in the future.
Two of the beds had been laid with sheets, apparently someone had visited.
Li Xian chose the last bunk near the bathroom, and after cleaning up, he began to tidy up the bunks.
I found the spare desk, put all my belongings on it, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and saw that it was already afternoon.
September in the western capital was still unbearably hot, and the dazzling sunlight shone in through the wooden windows, quickly evaporating the remaining traces of water on the ground.
Li Xian pulled the rope of the electric fan, but there was no response, and then pressed the light switch, but it was not lit, and most of the dormitory was out of power.
Feeling the hunger in his stomach, Li Xian took out the lo-mei stuffed by his family in his bag and took a few bites.
He stood on the somewhat dirty balcony, looking at the lively corner of the campus, and showed a relieved smile.
In his previous life, he and his wife Kang Le met on campus, Kang Le was one year older than him, and after graduation, he entered the palace of marriage and held hands for a lifetime.
In this life, in order to meet Kangle again, he resolutely chose Xidu University.
Counting his age, in his last life, he wasted a year of part-time work and another year of restudying, this time, I am afraid that he will be in the same class as Kang Le.
With the same starting point and four years of university life, he decided that he must give Kang Le an unforgettable experience.
The question is, Kang Le doesn't know him now, will he be preempted?
Thinking of this, his heart tugged.
The hot wind blew his vision, and the dust from the windowsill hit him in the face.
The Western Capital has always had a tradition of sandstorms, and it is not surprising that the dormitories were covered in dust in just one summer vacation.
Li Xian pinched his nose, took a worn-out towel, turned on the water from the toilet, and began to wipe the dormitory.
After all, it's where he lives, and it doesn't matter if it's shabby, but it's something he can't bear to be messy.
For more than an hour, Li Xian cleaned up and down the dormitory, and threw the garbage on the balcony into the trash can outside the dormitory.
Looking at the newly renovated dormitory, he smiled with satisfaction.
"I'm going, I can't go wrong, right?"
A student with a southern accent stood in front of the door to confirm it, saw Li Xian with a mop, and asked in surprise, "Dude, you cleaned it all?"
Li Xian put the mop in the corner of the wall and nodded: "It's too dirty, I'll clean it up." ”
"You're really a model worker, thank you very much. The student exclaimed and walked in cautiously, for fear of stepping on the dirty ground.
Li Xian smiled faintly: "You're welcome." ”
"My name is Luo Ting, I'm from Zhejiang, what about you?"
"Li Xian, Jiangdong. ”
Li Xian sat down and took a breath, looked at the braised chicken feet on the table, and asked, "From my hometown, do you want to have some?"
Luo Ting smelled the fragrance, walked over, rubbed his hands and smiled, "I'm really a little hungry." ”
Li Xian freed up an empty plastic bag and put it in Luo Ting's bowl.
"Well, it's delicious. Luo Ting said as he spoke.
At this time, a noise came, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and two classmates about the same age as Li Xian walked in, probably from the same dormitory.
"Hello everyone. One of the loud voices said hello as soon as he entered.
"Hello. Li Xian responded with a teacup.
"Han Hui, please give me a lot of advice. With a loud bang, he lit the lighter, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and looked at the other three embarrassedly, "There is only one left, I picked it up from the fellow just now, you guys, why don't you take a sip alone?"
Luo Ting shook his head in disgust: "Don't smoke." ”
Li Xian also shook his head: "I don't smoke either." ”
"My name is Tang Bin, hello everyone. The man behind Han Hui was a little restrained and dressed very shabby.
"Hello. ”
Everyone laughed together in response.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Han Hui walked to the balcony alone and smoked a stuffy cigarette.
Luo Ting took out his book to read, while Tang Bin lay on the bed and slept.
In the quiet afternoon, Li Xian looked at the four people with different styles, and was very happy, there was no strange thing in this group of roommates.
At five or six o'clock, Li Xian said, "Do you want to go out to eat?"
"Eat?" Han Hui immediately came over.
Luo Ting put down the book and rubbed his stomach: "I'm really hungry, do you have food stamps?"
"No, I'm going to get out of school and find a restaurant. Li Xian remembered that he needed a meal ticket for dinner, and he forgot to do it when he came in the morning.
"Okay, rich man. Luo Ting sighed, "Count me in, you can't treat your stomach badly." ”
"I'm so hungry, let's go together. Han Hui scrubbed with his bare arms and put on a clean short-sleeved shirt.
"What about you?" Li Xian looked at Tang Bin who was lying on the bed.
Tang Bin hurriedly shook his head: "I ate a lot at noon, and I'm not hungry yet." ”
As soon as he said the word hungry, there was a thunderclap in his stomach.
"Brother, don't do this, your stomach is thundering. Han Hui couldn't help but laugh.
Tang Bin blushed in embarrassment and pinched his pocket, where is the extra money?
Li Xian saw his embarrassment and patted his bed: "Let's go, let's have a meal together to get to know each other, I'll invite you this time, a meal is nothing." ”
Tang Bin still wanted to refuse, but Han Hui had already climbed the ladder and pulled him up: "Let's go, twist and pinch like a big girl." ”
Walking out of the dormitory building, Li Xian ran to the bottom of the girls' dormitory next to him, intending to call Zhang Shuhua together.
"Dude, did we go wrong, there is food in the girls' dormitory?" Han Hui followed behind Li Xian, glancing at the female classmates passing by from time to time.
"Wait for a friend. Li Xian explained.
"Awesome, I hooked up with a female classmate when I first came to school, buddy, I admire you, do you want to introduce me another day. Han Hui gave a thumbs up.
"Where, it's my hometown friend. Li Xian walked to the door, but was stopped by the dormitory aunt and explained to her, and the dormitory aunt let the four people into the door.
Han Hui and Luo Ting looked around like a hillbilly entering the city, causing the female classmates passing by to look at the two in horror.
"You two converge a little, and the aunt in charge of the dormitory behind you stares motionlessly. Li Xian regretted bringing them in and was completely ashamed of himself.
"Thanks to you, we can also have the honor of entering the girls' dormitory once. Han Hui smiled obscenely.
I found Zhang Shuhua in the last dormitory, she was cleaning the dormitory, and when she saw Li Xian, her face was full of joy.
"Li Xian, why are you here?"
"Are you alright?" Li Xian walked over, took the mop, and helped her mop the floor.
"It's all fine, and so are the roommates. Zhang Shuhua lowered her head and smiled.
"Wow! That's what the girls' dormitory looks like. ”
"It smells so good. ”
Li Xian glared at Han Hui and the others: "Why don't you come over and help, don't even think about eating if you don't finish cleaning." ”
"Of course, of course. Han Hui and the two glanced at Zhang Shuhua vigorously, "Brother and sister, no, friend, hello." ”
Zhang Shuhua was stunned and looked at the three people who were scrambling to clean up, a little confused.
"My roommates are all warm-hearted, you just rest, let them come. ”
"Yes, yes, you put it on, let's come. The three nodded in unison.
"Shuhua, do you want to go to dinner together?" said a girl's voice outside the dormitory door.
Zhang Shuhua looked at the four boys nervously and responded, "You guys go first, I won't go." ”
"Let's go, oops, who are you?" A girl walked in, about to pull Zhang Shuhua along, but was startled by the four strangers in the house.
The other two girls also ran in: "Who are you?"
"They're my friends, and they're here to help me clean. Zhang Shuhua bit her lip, a little embarrassed.
The three girls were stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into warm applause: "Good classmates, come on!"
