Chapter 7: The Answer to the Mystery

The seven-day National Day holiday is over in a blink of an eye, and the rows of green trees on the streets seem to have dyed blonde hair overnight, and every leaf has been curled with the fashion trends of the season. As soon as the wind blew, a yellow leaf of a tree drifted onto the street and leisurely pressed the road. The teachers and students of the whole school rushed home from all over the place like birds. In order to avoid the rush hour to return to school, Lan Eucalyptus and Mengshi went back to school early on the morning of the last day of the holiday to pack up their dormitories.

As soon as they put down their luggage and sat down in their chairs, there was a "bang" on the door outside. Lan Eucalyptus opened the door with a curious face, but she didn't expect that it was Ruoping who came to the dormitory to play with her, and Lan Eucalyptus was pleasantly surprised and quickly pulled her into the house to sit. Ruoping raised the plastic bag in her hand, "Oh~ for your dormitory to eat!" Lan Yu held the heavy bag in his hand, and the food in the bag exuded an attractive fragrance, the fragrance was faint and fluttering, and it also aroused the gluttony in Mengshi's stomach, and Mengshi couldn't help licking her lips. As soon as Lan Yu saw Mengshi's small expression, she immediately understood, she poured some into the lunch box and pushed it hard from the desk to Mengshi. Mengshi is not polite to Lan Eucalyptus, and her appearance as a literary and artistic youth falls off gorgeously, revealing the fox tail exclusive to foodies. Lan Eucalyptus had just finished eating two pieces, and Meng Shi had already swept away a whole bowl of food, so she came over and poured the bag again. Lan Yu smiled evilly and said, "Go, go, you little fragrant pig, leave some for Luo Yao and Danyan." Meng Shi stuck out her tongue and said mischievously: "Cut-pigs are thinner than you." This sentence really made Lan Eucalyptus's face green, and she silently swore never to make such a joke about people who were thinner than herself, thinking that she was very unwilling to eat so much and not be fat.

Lan Ping raised her head and smiled at Ruoping, grabbed a piece and put it in her mouth, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's delicious!" Is it a specialty of your hometown? "Well, I bought it when I went to town with my brother on vacation, he said...... No, I'll bring you some. Meng Shi covered her mouth and snickered on the side, and asked knowingly, "Why didn't your brother come?" You can also come over together! Lan Yu was so angry and funny that she had to turn her back, lest Mengshi tell her heart, and secretly glanced at Mengshi.

"He didn't come to school until the afternoon, and we couldn't grab the same train when we grabbed the tickets." Ruoping paused, and suddenly remembered something: "I have to go back to the dormitory first, my luggage hasn't been sorted yet." If we have a chance, we will go to the library and read books together! "Okay! Call Zhenping! Mengshi asked with a wicked smile, glancing at Lan Eucalyptus very proudly, but she didn't continue, she estimated that she would fight with Lan Eucalyptus if she continued to talk about it.

The dormitory finally quieted down, and after they took a nap, the school gradually became lively, and there was a banging knock on the door in the dormitory building. It was almost time for dinner, and Dan Yan finally returned to the dormitory sweating in a long-sleeved tracksuit. Lan Eucalyptus squinted and got up from the bed, her eyes suddenly couldn't adjust to the fluorescent lights that had just been lit up in the room, and the late summer and early autumn were the time when the days were crisp and the days were shortened, so it was too easy to fall asleep.

"Hasn't Luo Yao come back yet?" Dan Yan looked at Luo Yao's empty desk and asked. "I think it's going to be tomorrow morning again." Mengshi couldn't bear to kick open the hot quilt, and replied by stretching her waist. "There were only 3 of us eating that night, hurry up Mengshi, let's quickly change our clothes and go to the cafeteria." "Got it, girl." Montha reluctantly climbed out of bed.

The 3 roommates of 206 held hands and walked briskly in the mighty crowd, there was no limit to the end time of the whole school today, and there was already a long queue in the cafeteria. When passing through the corridor on the second floor, Dan Yan couldn't help but stop in front of an announcement on the recruitment of food delivery staff, it turned out that a new restaurant on the second floor opened a set meal, and the delivery of food has a basic salary plus commission every month, and also includes dinner. The boss is an uncle about 40 years old, he looked at Dan Yan with a spatula in one hand, and probably thought that she was a hard-working person, and immediately agreed to let her try it for a day. Dan Yan was very happy, so she ran outside and talked to her roommates, then went back to the kitchen and immediately started work. Today, most of the students in the school have just returned to school, and they are busy cleaning up in the dormitory, so there are a lot of students who order meals. The boss quickly packed the packages that his classmates had ordered by phone, and classified them according to the dormitory building, placing them in rows in the king-size plastic baskets used to deliver meals, and Dan Yan quickly covered the baskets and rushed downstairs.

“23#617…… 5#421…… 9#108…… Oh my God, these dormitories are so scattered, some of them are the farthest from the South Side, and the floors are so high...... Forget it, let's send it first, money is hard to earn. Dan Yan didn't dare to stay longer, and walked like flying with a heavy basket. She decided to deliver a relatively close dormitory order first, and the weight of the lunch box in the basket was reduced a little, but her feet were as tired as lead. Danyan doesn't care so much, it is regarded as a long-distance run in the physical examination, no matter how tired the body is, he just drags the soles that feel like they are about to wear out. The last dormitory, Dan Yan was happy in his heart, and suddenly felt that the basket in his hand became as light as a feather.

The dormitory building in the south area is the most remote part of all the dormitory buildings in the school, and the terrain is high, and you need to climb a long and steep slope to reach the dormitory there, and from a distance, it looks like the buildings are growing on the high mountains, so the south area is also nicknamed the "Potala Palace" by the teachers and students of the school in private. The night was dark and oppressive on the earth, the street lights were dim and cold, and Dan Yan continued to march in three steps and two steps. When he arrived at the door of the dormitory where he ordered food, Dan Yan raised his tired and trembling hand and knocked on the door three times, and after about ten seconds, a boy with unkempt hair kicked and dragged his slippers to open the door, "So fast!" It usually takes an hour, thank you! Dan Yan was extremely relieved when he heard this, and after receiving the money, he happily returned to the canteen with empty blue.

When I walked into the kitchen, it was already past seven o'clock, and the uncle greeted a few students who were late for dinner, distributed the set meals they ordered, and looked up to see Dan Yan, who had returned from delivering food, sitting on the chair next to him and counting the money. Dan Yan slammed the recovered meal money on the table, "Uncle, you can see if there is anything wrong." "Okay, okay, starving, aren't you?" I'll give you food first, and I'll order while you eat, and we'll count the numbers when we come back." "Uncle smiled and cooked for Danyan, the dishes were piled up as high as a hill, and the dishes were twice as rich as those contained in the package." Uncle, I can't eat so much, it will be a waste if you give me more fights. "It's okay, you have to eat more here uncle, and when you are full, you have the strength to work, work hard, and the uncle will not treat you badly." "Thank you, uncle, I'll come in after eating in the restaurant outside." "Okay!"

Danyan sat in the sparsely populated canteen for dinner, she felt that her appetite had never been so good, not only because she had overdrawn her physical strength and her stomach was empty, but the main reason was that this sumptuous dinner was earned by her own hard work. Dan Yan ate happily and satisfied. After eating, the uncle immediately gave Dan Yan a stack of wages, "Our side is paid daily, this is your basic salary for half a day today plus the commission for delivering meals, you click a little bit to see if there is any objection." "Wow, that's so much! It's enough for my living expenses for three days, thank you, uncle. Dan Yan smiled like a flower, paused, she suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, I feel that there are very few people in the dormitory in the south district to deliver food, do you see if we need to take some packages over there to try it out, maybe there is a market!" Dan Yan said with a serious face. The uncle thought about it carefully, patted his thigh and said, "Yes, your students' brains are flexible!" You can try it tomorrow, and the commission for selling is double the price of food delivery. "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow after class at noon."

Dan Yan walked back to the dormitory happily. She looked up at the deep blue night sky, the stars twinkling mischievously, as if sharing the joy in her heart. She hummed a song all the way back to the dormitory, but she didn't expect the dormitory window to be dark. Dan Yan took out the key from his pocket and opened the door with a strange face, the dormitory was still the same as when they went out in the evening, where did Lan Eucalyptus and Mengshi go? Could it be that the student union has something to do, and it is unlikely that they will go at the same time, they are not in the same department.

In fact, Dan Yan guessed half of the whereabouts of Mengshi and Lan Eucalyptus, they did go to the student union's appointment, but not because of business, but because of Zhang Zisong's sudden visit. Zisong made an appointment with Mengshi through the president of the Health Management Association, and Mengshi roughly understood what he meant on the phone, so he brought blue eucalyptus and asked her to help her observe from the side, whether Zhang Zisong was worth entrusting.

As soon as the two girls finished eating, they rushed to the revolving café on the fifth floor of the East Side cafeteria, and as soon as they pushed open the glass door, Zisong, who was sitting in the innermost compartment, stood up and waved to them. The melodious music in the store seemed to be still for that second, Zisong's brain, ears, and heart were only left with the crisp and pleasant sound of Mengshi's high heels, and the atmosphere and emotions became the best lighting artist.

They sat down in the reserved two seats, Lan Eucalyptus specially reserved the seat opposite Zisong for Mengshi, and the waiter came over with the menu: "What do you two drink?" Meng Shi replied with a slight blushing face: "Whatever, just don't want coffee." Lan Yu turned his face sideways and looked at Mengshi, who was rarely nervous, and it was difficult to answer for a while. After a few seconds of silence, the president teased his buddy: "Mengshi order 'whatever', Zisong, it seems that you have to order all the drinks that are not coffee." "Everyone was happy. The waiter also smiled and said, "Otherwise, try our new manberry juice." Mengshi nodded slightly: "Okay, no ice." Eucalyptus closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter, "I want a cup of kumquat soda with ice removed." "It's all in my account." Zisong raised his head and said to the waiter. "Okay, wait a minute." The waiter returns to the front desk with the menu in hand.

Zisong suddenly took out a bouquet of roses from behind him tremblingly, the muscles on his face tensed, and he was completely speechless, for a wooden nerd, this trick really became not good. "Can you give me an answer?" Zisong leaned down, staring straight at the rose whose petals were drunk with the atmosphere, no kneeling on one knee, no romantic courtship ritual. Time awkwardly stood still at that moment, and this nerd didn't seem to be asking his lover for the answer in his heart, but tirelessly boating in the endless sea of learning, which was also Zhang Zisong's monotonous life for more than ten years. As if he had finished a set of exercises in his daily life, he turned to the last page of the bibliography with great anticipation, flashed his slightly questioning eyes, and patiently asked the workbook, "Can you give me the answer?" ”

Just as the president of the health management committee couldn't help but sweat for his good buddy, Mengshi actually raised her slender jade hand and accepted the bouquet of roses that were trembling with each petal, the color of the petals was reflected on her crimson cheeks, a blush rippled away, she bowed her head shyly and replied, "I promise you!" The chairman suddenly had a stunned expression, and his hanging heart finally let go, but he couldn't believe it, worried that he had heard it wrong. But Mengshi has a happy face of "the flowers are blooming", in her mysterious and colorful life, it seems that she has long expected such a person to break into her heart that needs warmth. In the past twenty years, she has seen a lot of those so-called romantic scenes, and she has seen enough of the faces of those gentlemen, what is wrong with Mu Ne, as long as his palms are thick enough and his heart is warm enough, she is willing to hold hands with him until the end of the day. Lan Yu looked at Mengshi with "completely understood" eyes, and blessed Mengshi and Zisong from the bottom of her heart, and now she can secretly call her sister and brother-in-law in her heart first?

"Excuse me, this is your cranberry juice and kumquat soda, please slow down." The waiter brought them two glittering drinks. "Thank you." Lan Eucalyptus held the straw in her mouth like a child, taking small sips, and Mengshi's drink bottomed out after she took three or four sips. Lan Eucalyptus couldn't help but feel ashamed of her good sister, and she wanted to quietly remind Meng Shi that she was in Zisong like this...... No, in front of her boyfriend, it seems that there is too little image. But Lan Eucalyptus couldn't be free at all, because Zi Song was looking at Mengshi gently, and his expression was almost as if what Mengshi ate was no different from what he ate. Lan Yu couldn't help laughing: No one's boyfriend cares, what do I care about?

After leaving the café, the president found an excuse to retire first, Zisong sent them back to the dormitory, he held Mengshi's hand along the way, Mengshi held the small light bulb of blue eucalyptus, the air was full of the sweet fragrance of osmanthus, that was the taste of love!
