Under the cherry blossom trees that have not yet bloomed, there are two dusty ping pong tables.
The soles of the shoes touched the fallen leaves on the ground.
Students wearing blue and white school uniforms bustled back to the dormitory building...
This is the first day of the new school year.
The cleanly brushed uppers are slightly reflected in the sunlight, and the air even seems to be filled with a youthful atmosphere...
At noon.
Everyone is a little hungry.
The cafeteria of this school is divided into two floors. Perhaps because of the crowding during meal times, the two floors were specially divided into junior high school and high school.
In order to avoid the inconvenience of smaller students being squeezed in the crowd...
Lin Xiaoxiao's meal card balance is low.
After picking up two vegetarian dishes at random, I found a relatively clean corner to eat.
There was no one in the cafeteria.
This is probably because the students who have just arrived at the school still have a lot of pocket money left, so most of them choose to meet up with three or five friends and go to the small restaurant next to the school gate for a meal...
Steaming soda foam bubbles out from the mouth of the can.
Jiang Liang was holding a dinner plate in one hand and a Coke in the other, looking for someone on the second floor of the cafeteria.
moment.
He has found his target.
Stepping towards the corner window...
"Hello, classmate, can I sit here?"
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was called, raised her head hesitantly. After seeing Jiang Liang's pretty face, her face turned slightly red.
"Yes, it's okay..."
"Thanks."
A brief smile.
Jiang Liang didn't hesitate too much, put the dinner plate directly on the table, and sat down opposite Lin Xiaoxiao.
If you don’t know, you might think that the two are good friends or something like that.
After all, we can meet up for dinner together.
They will be more familiar with each other...
"But in fact, this guy doesn't even know Lin Xiaoxiao's name."
Chino uttered words that only he could hear.
just now.
He was still thinking about whether he, hiding in Lin Xiaoxiao's body, would see things he shouldn't see at night after Lin Xiaoxiao moved into the girls' dormitory.
As a result, after he divided the books several times and moved them back to the dormitory, and came to the cafeteria to eat, he met this somewhat weird classmate Jiang Liang again.
This made him very irritable...
And Jiang Liang.
I don’t know if it’s because of his good looks, but his tone is full of confidence when he speaks, which is completely opposite to Lin Xiaoxiao’s avoidance...
I only had two bites of food when I sat down.
He was very skillful in getting a rough idea of Lin Xiaoxiao's name and the other party's home address.
At first glance it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it.
But after Chino looked back in detail, he could see that this was almost the same as checking the household registration book...
...
"Hey, by the way, have you seen the news recently? About the one over on Min'an Road..."
Chatting from time to time.
Jiang Liang raised such a topic.
"Huh? What Min'an Road?"
Lin Xiaoxiao, who usually focused on Korean dramas, was obviously a little confused about the topic raised by Jiang Liang, and did not understand what the other party was talking about.
"It's the road over from the old hospital dormitory. I read the news yesterday that some kind of infectious disease seemed to have been discovered on Min'an Road. It's quite serious and can be spread through the air."
"It is said that the road there has been closed. Now no one is allowed to enter, and no one inside is allowed to come out..."
Jiang Liang explained to himself.
He focused his gaze on Lin Xiaoxiao's face, which made the already shy little chubby girl dare not raise her head to look at him.
In an atmosphere where the air is frozen.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer the following words.
She picked at the rice on the plate with her head down, her mind constantly thinking about what to say...
Okay, news or something.
Her mind was not on that at all.
There was a sunny boy sitting opposite, and all her attention was on Jiang Liang...
"Min'an Road? I've seen that news."
but.
At this time, a girl who also came to the cafeteria to eat with a plate happened to walk by them and interrupted.
This is Lin Xiao's classmate, named Yan Yanqing.
In terms of appearance, he is of a good quality. In addition to his school uniform, the shoes he wears are also from a relatively famous brand. His family background should be pretty good...
Logically speaking, a girl like her would choose to go out to eat and drink with her good friends today, and would be unlikely to eat in the cafeteria.
After all, Yan Yanqing has many friends.
And she is the active and lively type...
As we all know.
The school cafeteria is always the first choice place for students to take refuge when they don't have much money left.
Qianye looked at the girl for a moment.
Then I found out that the other party was coming for Jiang Liang, a new classmate...
really.
After interjecting, Yan Yanqing placed the dinner plate next to Jiang Liang in a very familiar manner. No one invited her, so she just sat down on her own.
"What, Jiang Liang? Is your home over there on Min'an Road?"
Yan Yanqing took the initiative to bring up the topic, which eased the potentially awkward atmosphere and made the transition more natural.
"No, not really. I have a friend who lives there. After seeing the news yesterday, I wanted to contact him and ask if he was okay."
Jiang Liang chuckled and replied, seemingly not caring about Yan Yanqing's arrival.
But Lin Xiaoxiao still lowered his head.
She is not good at chatting. If a third party is inserted into the conversation, she will subconsciously hide herself in a corner and just listen to the conversation quietly...
"Is that so?"
Yan Yanqing paused, put on a worried tone, and continued.
"Well, I also have a brother who lives on Min'an Road. I was just like you today. I wanted to call him to ask him if there was anything wrong, but he couldn't get through. No one answered the phone."
Who knows her brother is real.
I just compiled it so that I can easily participate in the chat.
In short, the first impression this little girl gave to Qianye was that she was not someone Lin Xiaoxiao could control...
If it were really placed in some youthful and ignorant love triangle.
Lin Xiaoxiao was definitely the one who lost and cried bitterly...
"You can't get through either?"
Jiang Liang was slightly surprised.
Yan Yanqing clearly caught the word "ye" in the other party's words and responded: "Are you like me and can't get through the phone?"
"Um."
"Then this is really strange. Could it be because of the infectious disease, so their communication route was cut off, in order to maintain public order or something..."
Yan Yanqing said naturally.
She did not forget Lin Xiaoxiao, the person whose position she had replaced. After saying this, she deliberately asked Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, what about you? Do you have any friends who also live on Min'an Road?"
friend?
Xiaoxiao?
Stop talking...
In ordinary days, Lin Xiaoxiao and Yan Yanqing have actually been classmates for so long, but the two of them have never spoken more than ten sentences in total.
Calls like Xiaoxiao didn't make Lin Xiaoxiao feel intimate, but instead gave her a sense of estrangement...
As for friends.
Almost everyone in the class knows that she, Lin Xiaoxiao, has always been a loner.
Because of what happened at the beginning of school last year, no one wanted to be friends with her at all, let alone her friends who lived on Min'an Road...
"No."
Lin Xiaoxiao could only shake his head and said this.
"Well...this is a bit strange. Actually, I was thinking that it was just an infectious disease. How could the contact line be cut off? I don't think I can understand it."
The questioning of Lin Xiaoxiao was just a formality.
Yan Yanqing's attention was still focused on Jiang Liang.
Although he was obviously the first person to join in the conversation, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to have become a little transparent at this moment. He had to bury his head in eating his own food and endure the somewhat uncomfortable environment alone...
Honestly.
She doesn't like others watching her eat.
After all, when the food is put into the mouth and chewed, Lin Xiaoxiao, who is used to being carefree at home, needs to do it deliberately in order to appear a little more elegant.
The chewed food is tumbling in the mouth. Not many normal people would let others see this unappetizing side of themselves...
Not to mention that there was a guy like Jiang Liang sitting opposite who could make Lin Xiaoxiao blush and her heart beat beat.
In short.
During this meal, Lin Xiaoxiao had a very hard time.
She still didn't feel full in her stomach, so she couldn't stay any longer and had to get up and leave, ending her lunch time...
Jiang Liang only nodded as Lin Xiaoxiao left.
Nothing much was said.
Qianye couldn't even see clearly what the boy's purpose was in approaching Lin Xiaoxiao...
"What a fat girl with low self-esteem and sensitivity..."
...
Next.
This is Lin Xiaoxiao’s arrangement for a new life in school.
She added almost nothing else, using only the old things she left behind last semester and didn't take away.
Things like wash basins and thermos bottles.
It was covered with a thick layer of dust...
After cleaning over and over again, until the sun was almost sinking into the western mountains, Lin Xiaoxiao finished all the things to be done.
In the evening there is the first self-study period of the new semester.
There is actually nothing going on in this class.
Teachers usually do not choose to start lectures or arrange other things on this day...
Like most schools.
The evening self-study on the first day is basically a real self-study, allowing students to sit in their seats and read books quietly.
Through Lin Xiaoxiao's previous experience when decorating his bedroom, Qianye roughly understood the following information...
Because the new semester is the second semester of senior high school.
The division into liberal arts and science has been completed a long time ago, and there has not been much replacement of classmates in the class. Except for the newly arrived classmate Jiang Liang, and the transfer of two classmates, the rest are all the same members of the original class.
So the roommates in the dormitory are also the same batch...
Lin Xiaoxiao's dormitory is a four-person dormitory.
The space is not big, there are only two bunk beds in it, plus a simple wardrobe and desk.
"When I was studying, there seemed to be twelve people in one dormitory..."
Recall the beginning.
Qianye felt that this was simply the dawn of time.
Twelve men were crowded into a room, not to mention whether there were any night owls who stayed up late at night and were still chatting. Just the charming athlete's foot was enough to leave a deep impression on people.
At that time, as long as I didn't fall asleep early, I couldn't sleep...
After all, you never know which classmate will lie down and exercise his arm strength after turning off the lights in the dormitory and shaking the bed until it creaks.
Lin Xiaoxiao's dormitory, which has nearly two-thirds fewer people, is much better than this.
At least it looks relatively neat at first glance.
No socks and slippers spread all over the floor...
High school life in this school is different from Chino's previous life.
Although the lights in dormitories are required to be turned off at twelve o'clock in the evening, fortunately, there are available sockets in the room, and students are allowed to bring their mobile phones into school, so it will not be inconvenient at many times.
Lin Xiaoxiao's other three roommates are all classmates.
The prettiest one is called Wu Di, and his manners are inadvertently elegant and decent. Whether it is the clothes in the suitcase or the bedding on the bed, they all reveal a sense of sophistication.
He must have good living conditions and pay attention to his personal image.
On the surface, she looks similar to Yan Yanqing from before, but she seems to be a little less talkative...
The girl who talks the most and is the most lively and crazy is called You Shasha.
Compare to the first two people.
She seemed a little out of place...
She was jumping up and down all the time, and from time to time she would grab her friend's chest to make some jokes that someone of her age would make.
To describe it simply, to put it nicely, it’s weird.
And the last roommate.
That is, the girl sleeping in Lin Xiaoxiao’s upper bunk...
Her name is Yu Qian, her hair almost covers her right eye, and her hairstyle is very similar to the style of the non-mainstream period.
Her personality is equally lively, but not as lively as that of You Shasha.
According to Qianye's accidental discovery, the reason why this girl covered her eyes with her hair was probably because she had a black birthmark on her right eye and wanted to use her hair to cover the defects on her face...
Each of the three has its own type.
Although they don't have many similarities, they also have a very tacit common ground.
That all had a bad relationship with Lin Xiaoxiao.
What is the specific reason? What happened to Lin Xiaoxiao last year that made him so unpopular with everyone? Qianye doesn't know this issue for the time being...
all in all.
Apart from Lin Xiaoxiaowai, the relationship between the other three people in this four-person dormitory is pretty good.
Including today's new school start.
They also invited them to go out for a meal, went shopping, and bought some things...
...
Night self-study is boring.
There are only a few students who really love learning, or who have experienced something and have been excited for three minutes, while the others are chatting in their seats.
Not loud.
The teacher is too lazy to care...
As Lin Xiaoxiao's front desk officer, Jiang Liang didn't take the initiative to talk to Lin Xiaoxiao again after the lunch incident.
I don't know whether it was because the target suddenly changed, or because Qianye thought too complicatedly that Jiang Liang was just for Lin Xiaoxiao.
Among the gossips among the classmates around me.
Qianye could vaguely capture the familiar words "infectious disease" and "Min'an Road"...
It seems that Jiang Liang did not find the topic randomly, and Yan Yanqing did not deliberately rack her brains to find information on this topic. This seems to have happened recently.
Min'an Road is isolated.
Most of the discussions were about the problem of being unable to be contacted. I felt that if it was just an infectious disease, there would be no reason why I couldn’t get through the phone...
And based on the time of day today.
Qianye also learned that this small county town was probably thousands of kilometers away from the city where he originally lived. After realizing the real "open eyes", he moved across the province...
After a long wait.
Evening self-study is finally over.
Lin Xiaoxiao dragged her tired body, sent a message to her mother at home, and then returned to the dormitory...
To be honest.
Even though the real age is much older than these students.
But when Qianye, who was hiding in Lin Xiaoxiao's body, followed him into the girls' dormitory, he was refreshed by the scene in front of him...
This is no ordinary dormitory.
This is Wang Wei's poem, the girls' dormitory sinking into the night...
