Shui Ning picked up his bags and those heavy moods and walked towards the Northern University of Engineering and Technology. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The morning glow had just faded, and the sky was still covered with a pale pink haze.

The beautiful autumn bloomed in front of her eyes. The sun crawled out of the clouds, like an ancient sleepy insect, lazily spreading its arms of light, soothingly carving its tall buildings and alleys, and the wind blowing on its face, slightly cool. The leaves of the huge sycamore, falling on the dry earth, make a pleasant soft sound, this seemingly ancient coastal city, known as the reputation of northern Hainan, always blurs the boundaries of the seasons, it is so gentle and elegant all year round, almost you can not touch the traces of the change of seasons. It is as if the flowers are falling and the snow is melting, which is just the occasional product of inspiration from the Creator. Isn't it? It's late autumn, and there are still spring flowers scattered among the fallen leaves all over the ground.

Shui Ning's upcoming university is a national key institution, located in the center of the coastal city, not far from Shui Ning's home, a county seat under the jurisdiction of the city, and it is about three hours by bus from her home to here. The world-famous Yellow Sea flows through her home county and continues here.

Shui Ning originally planned to repeat her studies, her goal was to be admitted to a publicly-funded major in a publicly-funded university, but her father, who worked in a company, and her mother, who taught in a vocational high school, disagreed, because she was already twenty years old, and if she repeated her studies for a year, she would graduate at the age of twenty-five, and twenty-five years old, for a girl in the 1993s, was already a marriageable age. Parents don't want Shui Ning to get married as soon as she graduates, they want her to find a stable job first. I don't want her to gamble her youth and luck on the next college entrance examination. Her parents didn't seem to have the confidence to support her in this kind of gambling. This can be seen by water condensation.

After some ideological struggle, Shui Ning finally chose the TV editing and directing major of the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering, which is a self-funded major, which was added by the college to adapt to the development of the new era.

The family was so poor that there was only food and clothing left, but for the sake of Shuining's future, his parents took a ten-day leave from the school, ran around and borrowed money, and finally scraped together enough 6,000 yuan for tuition and miscellaneous expenses for two years. In those short ten days, Shui Ning felt that her parents were obviously old, but she was powerless at the moment, and she could only hide in the dark corner of her back and secretly grieve.

Today, Shui Ning came to report with the 6,000 yuan.

As soon as Shui Ning, who was ten days late, entered the school gate, she encountered a problem - everything in the college was almost finished, and the girls' dormitory was full. The housekeeper took her through the huge campus, but in the end, they still couldn't find a vacant dormitory, so she had to spread her hands helplessly. Shui Ning saw that it was getting late, thinking that she would be "sleeping open", so she looked at the female administrator with a depressed face, a little at a loss. Thinking of her parents' tired expressions in order to raise the 6,000 yuan and their attention to herself, thinking of the unfamiliar situation here, her heart was desolate and she wanted to cry.

The female administrator seemed to catch Shui Ning's emotions, changed into a sympathetic expression, and led her through several Western-style teaching buildings, and finally stopped in front of a small white building marked "Northern University of Engineering and Technology Guest House", and told her to stay here for one night first, and she would help find a dormitory tomorrow. Then the middle-aged woman walked away.

In the bleak evening breeze, Shui Ning stood helplessly in front of the guest house, trying to make up lines, thinking about how to tell the people in the guest house that she wanted to stay for one night, and that she wanted a cheaper room—this was the first time she had gone out into the world on her own, and everything was strange and difficult for her. But it didn't matter, she thought she needed to take this step.

Suddenly, Shui Ning, who was standing at the door of the guest house, was hit by someone, and the large bag in his hand almost fell to the ground. Then a tall man came and helped her. She looked up and saw a group of people approaching, and the boy who had probably hit her was looking at her apologetically. The man who helped him steadied her belongings and said, "Little sister, you want to stay too, right?"

Shui Ning looked at this man, a little frightened, because she felt that this man was too handsome, and the words she heard in Liu Lanfang's commentary when she was a child were like Gu Yue, sword eyebrows, and so on, and how beautiful a man was, were all reproduced in him. In other words, when she saw this man, she immediately thought of Prince Charming. But what about Prince Charming? He couldn't give her a dormitory to settle down and calm her nervousness at the moment. In particular, he looked at her very intently, with a frame of sympathy and pity, so that she almost instantly forgot the praise of his image in her heart, so she looked at him coldly and said, I don't stay.

The corners of the man's mouth rose and he smiled helplessly: Really not staying? Shall I go, then? I was trying to help you with something.

Shui Ning nodded fiercely: Hmm.

Don't be pushy, come in with us. The man said softly. Then, without saying anything, he snatched the items from her back and shoulder.

Next, the man helped Shui Ning book the room like an acquaintance, and also paid the room fee for her, and then handed the key and said, remember to lock the door. I'm in room 315, and something is shouting.

It happened suddenly, and Shui Ning felt a little like a dream. She didn't know why she met someone here who was willing to help her, and she was moved for a moment when she watched this man who sent charcoal in the snow go away.

Unexpectedly, just as Shui Ning was standing there in a daze, the man turned around again and asked with a smile: Did you miss the start of school and have no place to live? Do you need to arrange it for you?

I...... Shui Ning squeaked, noncommittal, thinking about how embarrassed to let someone help him again if a stranger had already helped him so much?

Alright then, don't leave the room tomorrow, I'll come to you when I've arranged it. The man said with a brisk smile. He seems to be in control of everything about this school. And he seemed to be able to see through her needs at a glance. What the hell!

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the man knocked on the door. Shui Ning stood at the door and looked at him, not letting him into the house.

Huo, the vigilance is still very high, the man looked at her and said, It's arranged, now you can go with me. With that, he brushed her away, went into the room to help carry the items on the bed in his hands, and walked straight forward alone. Shui Ning involuntarily followed him around, and finally came to the first floor of a teaching building and entered an office. Here, she saw the middle-aged female caretaker of the girls' dormitory.

Eldest sister, someone brought it, you can see which dormitory you put her in. The man said.

Xiao Gu, you will cause me trouble, do you see how many people you have sent over since yesterday? Why did these kids come so late?

If there is a special situation, you can raise your hand and help my brother, I will be grateful to you.

Hum! What's the use of gratitude? I won't make a dime more for having your gratitude on my head! The female administrator said.

Say that there is no taste for money? Giving people roses has a lingering fragrance, and you can get the pleasure of your soul because of it, not to mention, there is my scenery shaking in front of you. The man quipped.

Yes, Xiao Gu, since you graduated, the eldest sister has never seen anyone play such a good ball with you, and there is no boy who is as good-looking and polite as you. What did you think at the beginning, how good it would be to stay in school as a teaching assistant?

It turns out that this little Gu is still my alumnus. Shui Ning thought to the side.

At the beginning, I just didn't want to be constrained by any work, and I was afraid that I would regret it if I didn't break out when I was young.

Are you doing well now? Everything is on your own, how tired are you?

But I'm having fun. Xiao Gu said. Create a happy life with your own hands, don't rely on your parents, and feel comfortable spending every penny.

I'm really convinced. The female administrator sighed and said, Okay, for your sake, I will arrange this girl's dormitory as well.

That's right. Xiao Gu said. Then he motioned with his eyes to follow the female administrator.

The female administrator said to Xiao Gu, you are busy, I will arrange it.

Thanks, sister! Xiao Gu said, and signaled with his eyes that Shui Ning was leaving.

Shui Ning felt that she was still in a dream, and she reached out to him to wave goodbye.

The administrator quickly took Shui Ning to the door of another guest house in the academy and motioned for her to go upstairs.

There was a girls' dormitory here, and the female administrator said, "You should live with three other girls in the same class."

When she climbed to the third floor, the female administrator knocked on the door of room 4, and immediately a beautiful girl with a goose egg face stuck out her head and asked which one she was looking for, and when she found the female administrator, she winked mischievously, and there seemed to be something hidden in her eyes. She carried Shui Ning's luggage and shouted into the house: Ge Linglan, Zhang Yi, our fourth one is here! The other two girls came over to help put the luggage on the bed.

Shui Ning is right, the female administrator cleared her throat and said, since you have come here and become a member of the academy, you must ensure order like them, especially not bring your boyfriends up, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of discipline, because this is the internal guest house of our academy, and a large number of people from outside the school will come to live every day, and many pairs of eyes will be staring at you, you have to maintain the image of the academy.

Shui Ning originally thought that she would make very harsh demands, but when she heard this, she felt her nerves relax. She let out a long breath to herself, thinking to herself, I came here to study in debt, so that I could make a career in the future and repay my father's kindness, why should I perch on a green tree and be a bird in the next two years of my college career? Disciplinary violations are outrageous to me.

So harsh, huh? A girl with long eyebrows and big eyes combed her thick long hair and said: Are boys so scary? Does every boy have a fuse on his body, and if he approaches them, it is easy to ignite a fire and cause an explosion? As she spoke, she smiled heartily.

I mean you have to behave, the caretaker gave her a blank look.

So, what if my brother comes? The girl asked.

Go to me and open a note. The female administrator said angrily.

What a hassle! The girl muttered: It's a bit like the legendary Bastille!

What did you say? The female administrator seemed a little annoyed: What is your name?

Zhang Yi. The chapter of the article, the art of art, the girl has no heart, but she is obviously not afraid to laugh, and the laughter is very musical: Teacher, I'm joking with you, don't go to your heart.

Yes, teacher, we all know that when we get here, we are like the Monkey King who somersaults in the hands of the Buddha, and we can't escape the wide palm of my Buddha! The girl with a goose egg face lay on Zhang Yi's shoulder and said with a smile and a slow manner.

What do you mean? The female administrator was obviously a little crying and laughing: Do you think the school is strictly controlled? If you have an opinion, go to the dean!

The tall and thin Gregory was weaving slowly, and when she saw that the situation was not good, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Teacher, what we mean is that you are welcome to come often in the future." As he spoke, he made a gesture of sending off the guest.

The female administrator looked at them unkindly and left.

The door closed, and the footsteps faded away.

Is it true that people at the end of the century are suffering from gains and losses? Zhang Yi stared at the door that had just been closed and said, she looked like a lost old lamb.

Shui Ning desperately digested the words of several roommates, all of whom seemed to be so talkative and quick-witted. Zhang Yi came up to him at this time and said that the female administrator just now had a very bad temper, and it was said that several girls in other dormitories had been reprimanded by her for crying because they were late in returning to the dormitory, which was really hateful. Everyone plans to vent their anger for the female compatriots, and in the future, she will clean her up once and again until she no longer trains the crying girl. By the way, while helping Shui Ning spread the futon, she said, "The three of us were just going to line up." Shall we report our birthday?

The result of reporting her birthday was: Gu Linglan was the oldest and decided to call her the boss, Zhang Yi was the second, Shui Ning was the third, and Fu Zheng (the girl with the goose egg face) was the younger sister. The four of them live very closely, and Shui Ning is in the county-level city in the west of the city, and he is the same township as Fu Zheng. The other two live in the county seat to the east and north of Shui Ning's house. But Shui Ning can't accept the matter of ranking - a bit like the underworld in Hong Kong films. Zhang Yi seemed to see through her mind and said, a layman, right? All the dormitories of our college are ranked like this, besides, each of us has a large list of names, and the meaning is different, how troublesome it is, why don't you just call it like this, the boss, the second, the third, and the fourth, how kind is it?

Fu Zheng has a different opinion on Zhang Yi's words, she said, Zhang Yi, there are more than 5,000 students in our college, and there are as few as four or as many as eight people in each dormitory, all of them are lined up, and everyone calls each other the boss, the second and the third or something, I am worried that if we stand in a corner of the campus and shout the boss, there will be countless heads suddenly looking back.

And that person is in the dim light, Zhang Yi quipped, whatever, whoever wants to turn back will go back, and he will go back if he is not afraid of turning his head badly. Besides, we are also following the local customs, and after a long time, everyone's voices are familiar, so there shouldn't be the kind of situation you said.

When Gregory heard this, she said, "Okay, okay, I'm the boss, and this matter is settled, which can be regarded as a symbol of the unity of our four sisters in the future."

Shui Ning breathed a sigh of relief and thought: Can the ranking make everyone work together?

The roommates told Shui Ning that the school turned the internal guest house into a dormitory in order to make money, but it was okay that everyone came late and lived in a guest house with relatively comfortable conditions. Knowing that her accommodation conditions were actually better than those of the classmates who arrived first, Shui Ning suddenly remembered that she hadn't said thank you to the "Lei Feng" who came out halfway, Xiao Gu. This person is really interesting, he has never known him in his life, and he can even reach out to help! It seemed impossible for him to have any intentions on her, because apparently, she was still a young college student, but he looked mature and steady, as if he had graduated for many years, and he was well-dressed, and perhaps had a good family background, how could he favor such a girl who was not very beautiful and dressed plainly? Thinking of this, Shui Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that many of the truths said by his predecessors were right, when a person reaches the age of many dreams, even if he meets a chic grass, he may also think about it.
