Chapter 119: Roommates
Lin Mingyang said Kirkland's dormitory, and the eyes of the people around him all changed, which made him feel very confused, "Is there anything wrong with that dormitory?" β
"From the outside, it's definitely the oldest dormitory at Harvard, but the facilities inside are the worst in the whole of Harvard." Ginny was full of sympathy and told Lin Mingyang how miserable it was to be assigned to Kirkland's dormitory.
"At least the internet is fast, and there's no faster internet in the whole of Harvard than that dorm building!" Jim added fairly, because he lived in that dormitory, and no one knew what was going on there better than he did.
actually lived in the same dormitory building as Lin Mingyang, Jim paid more attention to this matter than others, "If you want to move the dormitory, what about your luggage?" β
"I'm staying in a hotel outside for the time being, and I'll move here in two days!"
"Which suite do you live in?"
βh33οΌβ
βh33οΌβ Lin Mingyang's eardrums once again withstood Ginny's terrifying scream.
He rubbed his ears, "What's wrong with this room?" β
"You're such a decrepit!" Jim also looked at him sympathetically at this time, "Do you know what kind of guys live in that dormitory?" A gay love major, an internet psychopath with a head full of crazy ideas, and a drama fan who is whimsical all day long! β
"And then add an idiot who knows nothing, this dorm is going to sweep the whole of Harvard, I'll have to take a note, the decrepit dorm in Harvard's history is about to be born!" Ginny showed the qualities of a journalist, pulling out the notebook she had with her and scribbling down a few strokes on it.
"Is that dormitory really that famous?" Lin Mingyang felt that this matter was a little strange, just by living in that dormitory, could he really arouse such a high degree of "attention" from Harvard students? They must have done something else.
"That guy who is obsessed with the Internet, some time ago he hacked into the school's website, and then put all the information of all the beautiful girls in Harvard on his personal website for people to click, this incident caused a sensation in the school, that guy was later punished by the school, and the h33 dormitory became the most famous dormitory at Harvard!"
"It's notorious, that guy has become the public enemy of the girls in the school!" Ginny sarcastically replied, apparently her intimate photos had also been posted on that website.
Lin Mingyang felt that the whole thing was starting to get interesting: "What's that guy's name?" β
"Mark Zuckerberg!"
-- Lin Mingyang found that on the issue of Mark Zuckerberg, things were a little different from the situation in his memory, but it was very similar to the situation in a biographical movie. From Jim's mouth, he learned more about what had happened.
Classmates who lived in Kirkland's dorm room at the time first discovered Mark Zuckerberg's website, but they weren't the only ones who noticed it, as members of two women's groups: the Latin American Women's Issues Organization and the Harvard Black Women's Association, began protesting Mark Zuckerberg's actions.
Harvard's computer services sprang into action, shutting down Zuckerberg's website around 10:30 p.m. that night. By the time it closed, 450 students had visited the website and voted on 22,000 photos.
Subsequently, the school's disciplinary management committee summoned all the students involved, including Zuckerberg, the student who gave him the dormitory LAN password, his roommate Billy Olson (who came up with the idea, Mark Zuckerberg worked on it), and Joe Green, a junior who helped Zuckerberg, whose suite was separated from Zuckerberg's by a fire door.
Because Mark Zuckerberg's website violated the university's code of conduct in terms of security, copyright, and copyright, the board of management announced that Zuckerberg was placed on probation and asked him to consult with legal counsel, although the other students were not punished.
At school, Lin Mingyang felt that he should keep a low profile as much as possible, but he didn't expect his future roommate to be so high-profile that the H33 dormitory almost became the target of public criticism. The most interesting thing is that he became roommates with Mark Zuckerberg, the guy who created Facebook and built an unrivaled online social empire.
"You better pray that you don't share a bedroom with that guy Mark Zuckerberg, who never cleans the house, and every time her mother comes to the dorm and looks around at the garbage, she apologizes to his roommate for her son's sloppiness and explains that it's because Mark Zuckerberg has been cared for by a nanny since he was a child. You see, he's a baby who hasn't been weaned! β
Although living in the same dormitory building, Jim seems to have a lot of grudges against Mark Zuckerberg, and he actually knows so much about Lin Mingyang's future roommate.
"Mark Zuckerberg is a showy guy who wrote all his about his peacock roommate, Billy Olson, and made the whole school know that there was a madman living in their dorm!" Ginny's resentment of Mark Zuckerberg is even better than Jim's.
They walked and chatted, and after a while, they came to the downstairs of Kirkland's dormitory, as they said before, this dormitory building looked very ancient from the outside, and it looked very good, if it wasn't for Jim telling him the inside story, Lin Mingyang would probably really be confused by its appearance.
Ginny unexpectedly met her old rival Luna downstairs, and the two greeted each other with a smile, standing together and seemingly intimate. But at this time, Jim secretly pulled Lin Mingyang's clothes, "Let's hurry up, a fierce war of words is about to break out here!" β
Lin Mingyang followed Jim upstairs suspiciously, only through the narrow corridor on the third floor, the third door on the right hand side was Lin Mingyang's bedroom. Although he came up with him, Jem didn't have the idea of going in and sitting, he said goodbye to Lin Mingyang at the staircase, and before leaving, he didn't forget to wish Lin Mingyang good luck, don't live with that damn Mark Zuckerberg.
Just when Lin Mingyang was about to open the door, the "war" between Ginny and Luna downstairs had officially broken out, although the two girls would not fight in public, but a mutual sarcasm was inevitable.
At first, Ginny began to aggressively show off her arrangement, and also laughed at Luna's brainlessness, "I'm not like some wooden stakes, every freshman reception in the school has my informant, as soon as Felix Lin shows up, I will be the first to the scene, and then I will watch our dear Luna being turned away by the newspaper, I wonder how I should celebrate?" β
Luna sneered: "Those self-righteous women will only think of places that others can think of, and just this, I'm afraid it's all tricks that others have come up with, she thinks she has the chance to win, but she doesn't know that only by grasping what others can't think of can she become an excellent reporter!" I can tell you very clearly, this time I won! β
"Standing here, I wonder if you're waiting to interview Felix Lin, or if you're going to date that idiot from Mark Zuckerberg?" Ginny sneered, "Do you think Felix Lin will live in this ridiculous dormitory building?" β
"I wasn't like somebody who befriended a ridiculously dressed idiot with an explosive head and sent him to the door of the dorm room myself. Even that kind of guy can be recruited, which only shows that Harvard has gone to degenerate. But our Ginny is different, you have so many suitors, and there are many handsome and dashing guys, but I didn't expect you to have such a unique taste and actually like this type! Luna was tight-lipped, and she wasn't going to tell Ginny anything at all.
"That weird guy you mentioned happens to be living in the same dorm room as Mark Zuckerberg, if you really want to get close to our computer genius, beg him to put your picture on the Internet, and I can ask that guy to help you intercede with Mark Zuckerberg!"
"Oh, I don't want my bath photos to be posted on the Internet, and then everywhere I go, someone will point fingers, I have seen Ginny without clothes on the Internet, and I have seen Ginny with clothes in reality, this is indeed a very attractive thing!"
Both women picked up each other's weakest points and attacked violently, and Harry, who had already flashed to the side, suddenly heard the words Mark Zuckerberg's new roommate, and his eyelids suddenly jumped twice. He seemed to remember Luna saying that Felix Lin lived in the Kirkland dormitory H33, so didn't Mark Zuckerberg live in that dormitory as well? Could it be that guy who just went in... Harry had a bold guess in his mind, and he hurriedly stopped the bickering between Luna and Ginny, and then told them what he thought.
"You said that the exploding head was Felix Lin, and he was walking around the campus with us for half a day today..."Ginny didn't believe it at first, but she immediately thought of the guy's toad glasses, and then carefully recalled, not to mention that it really looked a little like it.
"Are you sure he really lives in the same dorm room as Mark Zuckerberg?" Luna's face turned a little pale here, and Lin Mingyang actually swaggered into the dormitory building under her nose, and she didn't feel it at all.
Ginny and Luna glanced at each other, and then came to a common conclusion that Lin Mingyang must have put on makeup! Thinking of this, where did the two of them have the strength to continue grinding their tongues here, and they entered the Kirkland dormitory with great momentum.
ββββThe brass-colored door plate clearly wrote the word h33, after confirming that this is his dormitory, Lin Mingyang knocked on the door, and then a guy with slightly curly hair and a somewhat pale face stuck his head out of the crack in the door, and the first thing he said was: "Do we know each other?" β
"I don't think I know!"
The man retracted his head and yelled into the room, "Billy, this isn't my type!" β
Lin Mingyang felt a chill in his heart, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, this guy can't be the comrade of the legendary H33, right? He was pondering how to communicate with the other person when the man stuck his head out again, "Are you looking for someone or are you going to sell newspapers or condoms?" β
Lin Mingyang was completely speechless by this guy, and he shook his head helplessly: "It's not!" β
The guy shrank his head and was about to close the door, Lin Mingyang reacted quickly and pressed the door, "I'm a freshman who has just entered the school, and I've been assigned to this dormitory!" β
The resistance on the door suddenly disappeared, and the door was pushed open by Lin Mingyang. The guy who was about to close the door leaned on the other side of the door, looked him up and down a few times, then turned his head and yelled at the living room, "Billy, there's a new guy, but he looks more abstract than Bobble in the dormitory next door!" β
"Is there a more abstract guy in this world than Bobble?" On the sofa in the living room, a short-headed man in a floral T-shirt bounced up, and hurriedly rushed out wearing a pair of beach pants on his lower body.
The result disappointed him, because Lin Mingyang, who was standing at the door, except for having an exaggerated explosive head and wearing a pair of very flat toad glasses, was quite passable in all aspects, especially that face, which was a little familiar when you looked closely.
"My name is Billy Olson, and I'm a veteran theater lover!" The man in the flower T-shirt took the initiative to introduce himself.
"You're quite an amateur in drama, but why do you always have to pretend to be very profound every time you introduce yourself?" The curly-haired man who opened the door for Lin Mingyang uncovered his old bottom on the side.
Billy Olsen actually accepted the other party's sarcasm without blushing and heartbeat, he put his arm on Lin Mingyang's shoulder, led Lin Mingyang into the living room, and then said as he walked, "Don't pay attention to that lewd guy, his name is Green Nut, a great gay!" Do you know how stressful it is for me to share a bedroom with him? I was so handsome, but I still haven't found a girlfriend, and all the girls say goodbye to me as soon as they hear that I live with him. You'd better stay away from him in the future, or someone will definitely suspect your surname orientation! β
This guy was gushing in Lin Mingyang's ear about his "history of blood and tears", but Lin Mingyang was thinking about another question, Billy Olsen and Green Nat live in the same bedroom, so wouldn't he live in the same room with Mark Zuckerberg?
"Don't underestimate our dorm, John F. Kennedy..."Billy Olson enthusiastically introduced the glorious history of the H33 dormitory to Lin Mingyang, and as soon as he mentioned the president who was shot, Greene Nutter unceremoniously interrupted him.
"Please, Kennedy lived in the dormitory next door to us!"
"The four idiots next door don't even know who used to live in that house, they only care about a woman's boobs and ass!"
Just when Billy Olsen and Green Nat were about to quarrel over this, Lin Mingyang suddenly asked:
"Which room do I stay in?"
"You and Mark share a room, but... You didn't take your luggage? Billy Olsen then found that Lin Mingyang came in empty-handed.
"I'm going to move here in two days."
"Well, I'm not sure you're going to like that room... But there's only one empty bed here. Billy Olsen nodded, "Follow me!" β
They lived in the smallest of Kirkland's dormitories, with two bedrooms, each with bunk beds and a small desk. But in the room shared by Mark Zuckerberg and Lin Mingyang, the twin beds took up almost all of the space in the bedroom, and there was no place to move. The desk didn't come in handy because it was full of rubbish. The empty cans of beer or drinks left on the table tell at a glance that they were left behind from weeks ago.
