Chapter 24: New Roommates (3)
Chu Xin's interest became very high, no longer the reluctant perfunctory when he first came out, and proposed to invite Yuhan and Xiaoyi to go to a café near C University for coffee. Xiaoyi has no habit of drinking coffee, and even after staying abroad for four years, she still has a cup of tea at hand. People abroad don't have the concept that drinking coffee is a petty bourgeoisie, and everyone can afford to drink it for a dollar. In the school, I often see professors, students, anyone hurrying down the corridor with a cup of coffee in their hands, coffee is more often used by people to refresh their minds, and even often see that in the morning, workers on construction sites also have a cup of coffee in their hands, just standing on the side of the road while drinking and chatting, and after drinking it is at work. Xiao Yi couldn't figure out why this coffee became a kind of culture in China, and it became a high-end consumption that the general public thought was a luxury.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, it is time for formal afternoon tea. The coffee shop was bustling with so many people that it was easy to find a place inside, and the three of them sat down. Xiao Yi didn't know what to drink in China, so this girl who came back from abroad was really like a countryman who listened to Chu Xin to help her with something. After reading the menu for a long time, those nice names, and then seeing the content behind, Xiao Yi suddenly realized that it was just a nice name, but in fact, everything was the same. I can't help but smile a little wryly, it turns out that even the menu is emotional. Almost all of the people in the café are young people, couples in pairs, colleagues in twos and threes, young people nowadays are so idle, don't they all go to work? However, Xiaoyi has to admit that domestic coffee shops have really achieved the word "mood" to the extreme. No wonder a regular latte costs twenty or thirty yuan. Leather chairs, round wooden tables, seemingly casual but well-placed bookshelves. Different coffees come with different cups, and although the small pastries can be eaten in one bite, they are hard to swallow. The soft music seems to be there, and the air conditioning in the room makes people feel comfortable, but it is a rare relaxing enjoyment on this sunny afternoon. It's just that, if there are fewer people, fewer people, then it will be perfect.
I ate some pastries at the café, so I didn't eat much for dinner. Chu Xin didn't eat a bite, only said that the calories of the cake were enough, and he would gain weight if he ate it again. After dinner, the three of them walked back to the dormitory at about 6 o'clock in the evening. The girl named Zhao Ying hasn't come yet. Chu Xin continued to pack her things, and in order to give her more space everywhere, the remaining two went to bed. Xiao Yi took this anthology of poems casually and flipped through it slowly, because he had never lived in such a large dormitory, and his brother Yunfeng was also worried and wanted to discuss with the department, so he let Xiao Yi go to school and live with him. Xiaoyi didn't want to be special, and also wanted to see what the university dormitory in China was like, so she was determined to live on campus. Chu Xin is very selfish and likes to be the protagonist. As for some people who look down on people and have an arrogant temperament, Xiaoyi really doesn't take it seriously; As for Zhao Ying, who hasn't met yet, listening to Yuhan's words yesterday, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with. It can reassure her brother, for this matter, Yun Feng did not hesitate to incarnate as Tang Seng, and insisted on whispering in her ear for three days.
Just thinking about it, the mobile phone on the bed rang, and I took it over to see that it was Yun Feng calling, and the number was from his apartment. Xiaoyi had to admit that the Chinese really did not resist nagging.
"Hey, brother. Done with everything? ”
"Well, I just got home, I went out last night, and I didn't have time to call you. Why? Yun Feng's voice was a little tired, but his spirit was fine, and it seemed that the matter of the art exhibition should be going well.
"I didn't do anything, I lay in bed and read a book." Xiao Yi said a little lazily.
"Have you eaten? Didn't eat to take you out? ”
"I ate, I went to eat with my roommates, and I visited the school by the way."
"How does it feel? Is there a music building here? ”
"I saw it, and I went in, which is good. The concert hall is still decent, but I didn't expect C University to be rich. Afraid of disturbing the two people, Xiao Yi's voice was deliberately lowered a lot, and it sounded even softer.
"Well, there's nothing to do. Are all roommates coming? What do you think? Can you still get used to it? I'll just let you go to school. ”
"Well, it's not bad, it's all good." He took a cushion and leaned against the wall, holding the phone in one hand and the hair on his chest with the other, and told Yun Feng everything about the past few days. This statement was actually said for more than 20 minutes.
Putting down the phone, getting up and wanting to move his body that was a little numb, he couldn't hear Chu Xin say a little sourly below: "Yo, you still have a boyfriend?" Sweet. ”
Xiao Yi was stunned, didn't she call "brother" just now? Hurriedly clarified: "No, my brother. ”
"Hehe, what's so embarrassing", Yuhan took off the big headset, "These days, everyone recognizes my brother." Call me brother today, call brother tomorrow, and if you call it too much, you will love your brother. ”
"I'm not used to that. Don't dare, it's really my brother, if he knows that I confess my brother outside, he will either peel my skin or that person's skin. Xiao Yi said sincerely, "Our small place, the countryside, so let's have two children." "It's just that this girl isn't listening to a song? Why is the sound insulation of such a big headset so bad, she has deliberately lowered her voice. Dare that headset is just a cover-up?
"Oh, it's really your brother," both of them became interested when they heard this. "How much older is your brother?" Chu Xin asked curiously.
"Four years short."
"So go to work? What does it do? ”
Gossip is really a woman's nature. It's just that Xiaoyi is a little unaccustomed to it, although the dormitory classmates can be lively together, but there is no privacy at all. This was a bit unprepared for Yun Yi, who had been abroad for four years.
After hesitating for a moment, he thought about it, and he was afraid that he would see him sooner or later, "I am also in the capital, teaching." ”
"Oh." After hearing this, Chu Xin nodded with little interest, and continued to pack up his things.
Xiao Yi didn't want to continue this topic, so she sat back in the bed and continued to read her book.
Zhao Ying, the girl who has not appeared in the dormitory for a long time, came the day before the start of school. Sure enough, as Yuhan said, he didn't speak much, but his voice was soft when he spoke, I don't know if he was afraid of scaring people or scaring himself. Provoke others to be careful when talking to her. Although Xiao Yi's voice is also soft, it will only make people feel quiet and stable when they listen to it, and they want to hear her keep talking, but it will never have the same effect as Zhao Ying. Xiao Yi thinks that Zhao Ying is similar to Lin Daiyu's appearance in "Dream of Red Mansions", which is really "demure like a delicate flower shining on the water, and acting like a weak willow supporting the wind". Yuhan once joked with Xiaoyi that if she stood with Zhao Ying, she would not take advantage of it at all, but she was afraid that all men would be towards Zhao Ying, who would make Yuhan such a "gentleman". Although Xiao Yi didn't speak, she thought about it in her heart and had to admit what Yuhan said, this girl is only afraid that she was born to make men hurt. But Xiao Yi is also curious, I don't know what the things designed by such people will look like.
The first two years of the design major focus on professional courses and relatively few design assignments, and the final year is a completely free graduation project, no matter where you are, as long as you turn in your assignments on time. There are a total of 9 compulsory courses in the two years, plus 3 elective courses. The compulsory courses in the first semester are three, one three classes, for undergraduates who have studied in American universities for four years, this arrangement is really much easier, so Xiao Yi, who has a lot of spare time, has a little selfishness and wants to choose his brother Yunfeng's "Classical Art Appreciation - Painting and Calligraphy". Yuhan and Chu Xin's design direction is not classical design, so they didn't take that course. Only Zhao Ying is in the same direction as Xiaoyi, and she also wants to take that course.
When choosing a course, Xiao Yicai really realized what Xiao Man said, Yun Feng is extremely popular in C University. Yunfeng's classes only started a week after the start of school, so the time for course selection was scheduled at 12 a.m. the day before the start of school, and graduate and undergraduate students took classes together. Xiao Yi knew that there were three time periods to choose from in this course, and she thought that she could choose any one, so she was not in too much of a hurry. Just after 12 o'clock, Zhao Ying also reminded her and said that she could choose, but Xiaoyi just nodded and said that she knew. After previewing the next day's classes, packing up and washing, she logged in to the school's course selection system before going to bed at half past 12 o'clock, but she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Xiao Yi couldn't help but be a little anxious, refreshed and refreshed, but never thought that in the end, she didn't grab a place. I watched as the last spot was snatched away after I refreshed the page again. Xiao Yi was a little frustrated and wanted to choose her brother's class, but she didn't choose it. In the end, I can only choose the only remaining course of poetry appreciation.
Although Yun Yi is kind, he often flashes some evil sparks in his only brother. Therefore, since I was tormented by my brother's course selection at night, and the result was not as expected, it seems that if I don't toss the culprit Yun Feng, I am really a little sorry for myself. Xiao Yi thought about it and took the mobile phone in his hand, since he signed up for his brother's class, he always had to tell him. A text message: Senior brother, prepare well for the classical appreciation class! Come on, come on!!
At this time, Yun Feng shouldn't have slept yet.
Sure enough, as soon as the text message was sent, the phone rang. Xiao Yi answered the phone seriously,
"Hey, brother, why are you calling me so late?"
