I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 270: Fellow People
Xiao Qi couldn't help but tell her senior about her hypocritical roommate and the farce downstairs, but after clicking around for a long time and sending out seven or eight long messages, she only received a surprised emoji from Lu Xiaowu.

Okay, I forgot this brother can't send text messages.

I haven't learned pinyin, I can recognize simplified Chinese characters, but I can't write them.

So currently, he can't send anything other than voice messages and emojis.

Xiaoqi posted another message out of desperation--
[Senior, why don't you study pinyin and practice writing at home when you have some free time? I still have a lot of my old notebooks with grid paper from before I started elementary school; you can use those for now.]

Lu Xiaowu pretended not to see the message, closed it, and continued watching the movie.

There are four people in the dormitory, but only three of them came tonight. The bed near the door has been made up, but no one is there.

Xiao Qi ignored all of this, yawned, climbed into bed, and went to sleep.

Mu Rao looked at the empty bed opposite her and asked Xu Shishi, "Have you seen her?"

"No."

Xu Shishi replied with a single word without looking up, engrossed in reading a novel.

The next morning at six o'clock, when the wake-up call rang, Xiao Qi had already finished washing up and getting dressed, ready to go to the playground.

Xu Shishi sat up groggily, and seeing her departing figure, she suddenly became fully awake.

Oh my god, I heard that if you're late, you have to run laps.

She jumped out of bed quickly, put on her military training uniform, and ran out without brushing her teeth or washing her face.

Completely unaware that Mu Rao, who had stayed up late chatting with her senior the night before, was still asleep.

After the morning military training ended, when Mu Rao returned to the dormitory for a short rest after lunch, she pointed at Meng Qi and Xu Shishi and angrily said, "What's wrong with you two? Why didn't you call me for assembly this morning?"

Yes, even the loud wake-up bell couldn't wake Mu Rao. She didn't wake up until the morning training ended and everyone had finished breakfast and gathered again on the playground.

When she arrived at the playground, her face flushed, the instructor only punished her with three laps, considering it was her first day.

This almost cost her her life.

"I...I didn't know you weren't up."

When questioned to her face, Xu Shishi's expression wasn't very pleasant. Although she felt she had no responsibility to call Mu Rao, they were still roommates, and it was only right that they reminded each other.

But she was in such a hurry at the time that she really didn't notice or remember it.

"I'm a grown man lying in bed, and you're telling me you didn't know? I think you're doing this on purpose!"

Xu Shishi's face darkened.

Xiao Qi, who went to the bathroom to wash her face as soon as she entered, came out and heard this and said indifferently, "Deliberately not waking you? Does that mean we deliberately let you sleep like a pig, so you couldn't even hear the loud assembly bell?"

"laugh!"

Before Mu Rao could react, a sneer came from the doorway, followed by a girl in camouflage clothing with a cool short haircut.

After a morning of training, almost everyone was drenched in sweat and looked disheveled, but this girl was clean and refreshed, without breaking a sweat.

Yeah, she's pretty much the same as Xiao Qi who messed up the cleaning technique.

She couldn't help but look at the other person with a hint of inquiry.

"Hello, my name is Xia Yi, Xia as in summer and Yi as in memories."

The fourth girl in their dorm finally made her appearance.

Meng Qi and Xu Shishi greeted each other normally, but Mu Rao glared at the other person fiercely because of the sarcastic laugh earlier, then turned and went to the restroom. Xia Yi didn't care, she laughed heartily, "I thought of that a long time ago. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. When strangers are grouped together, how can you guarantee that everyone will get along? You two agree, right?"

These words were clearly a veiled reference to Mu Rao. The person who had just entered the bathroom naturally heard it as well. A short while later, a loud crash was heard from inside, like the sound of a washbasin falling to the ground.

Xu Shishi's expression changed. She remembered clearly that of the three of them, only hers was made of aluminum, while Meng Qi's and Mu Rao's were made of plastic.

So the basin that Mu Rao just broke was hers.

Meng Qi also thought of this. She looked at Xu Shishi, but neither of them spoke.

Xia Yi could guess what was going on just by looking at their expressions. Meng Qi caught a glimpse of Xia Yi rubbing the jade ring on her index finger with her right thumb, and then a wisp of almost invisible blue energy suddenly slipped through the crack in the bathroom door.

"Ah, a mouse! There's a mouse!"

About ten seconds later, Mu Rao's scream came from the bathroom.

Xu Shishi's eyes widened suddenly, and she stood up abruptly. But instead of rushing to the bathroom, she turned to look at Meng Qi and asked incredulously, "A mouse?"

Meng Qi said nonchalantly, "What's it to you!"

Xu Shishi paused for a moment, then sat down knowingly, ignoring the earth-shattering shouts coming from the bathroom and the sound of her basin hitting the floor.

They didn't care, but the dormitories on both sides were disturbed.

They were all young, and although they were tired after a long morning, they couldn't resist their curiosity.

Some people even knocked on the door and shouted from outside, "Hey, what's going on in your dorm? It's so noisy, can't a person get any rest?"

No one knows what method Xia Yi used, but Mu Rao only screamed in the bathroom and never came out.

Xia Yi was closest to the dormitory door, so she walked over and opened it. She explained to the group of people standing outside in a good-natured manner, "We're annoyed too. We don't know what's wrong with that Mu Rao. She goes into the bathroom and starts throwing things around and yelling. You see, we can't sleep because of her noise."

The dormitory door was wide open, and people outside could clearly see the three of them, as well as the screams that were still coming from the bathroom.

Xu Shishi said, looking aggrieved, "She broke my basin. It's my fault for not waking her up early, Mengqi and I. But we were both in a rush this morning, how could we have noticed she wasn't awake? After all, the assembly bell was so loud!"

A tall, thin girl wearing black-rimmed glasses walked in; this was their class monitor, Luo Qiaodan.

She walked straight to the bathroom door, raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Mu Rao, open the door, stop calling."

They seemed oblivious, continuing to scream about rats.

The girls guarding the door looked at each other in confusion. One of them asked Xia Yi, "She said there are rats inside? There are rats in your dorm?"

Xia Yi shrugged, "I don't know, we didn't see it."

One person scoffed, "If there were really rats, they'd run out immediately. Would they lock themselves in like this and refuse to come out no matter what?"

To everyone else, it looked like he was locked out, since the class monitor had been knocking for a while but he seemed not to hear them and kept calling.

Ten minutes later, even the dormitory manager on the first floor came up to knock on the door, and Mu Rao's voice became hoarse. Only then did Xia Yi quietly withdraw that strand of clear thread.

After getting into bed, Xiao Qi texted Lu Xiaowu: "The fourth person in the dorm came today. I didn't expect her to be a fellow cultivator. But she's amazing! She disregarded the rules of the cultivator circle and immediately made fun of that guy surnamed Mu. I admire her!"

Lu Xiaowu replied with an emoji.

Xiao Qi: [You haven't learned pinyin yet? Idiot!]

Lu Xiaowu: ? ? ?
