She is in the fog

The next day was the eighth day of the first lunar month, which was also February 17, 2013 in the Gregorian calendar. There was still a week left before the Lantern Festival. The senior students of Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School did not have time to celebrate the Lantern Festival at home, so they all returned to school to continue their classes.

The second-year high school students were not willing to fall behind and said that it was based on the principle of voluntariness and asked everyone to go to school a few days in advance for make-up classes and review.

Although it was voluntary, quite a few people from He Xi's class went to school to report in advance. The expected number of students was 56, and the actual number of students who showed up was 56.

On the day when He Xi, Ming Mei and Wen Wan formed a team to report to school, the weather was unusually sunny. The sky was occupied by light blue, and a few clouds like white mist were floating quietly above. The warm sunshine shone on the earth, as if to immediately dispel the cold of winter and bring spring to the world.

The three of them were standing at the bus stop waiting for the bus. Everyone was wearing school uniforms and carrying school bags, except that He Xi and Ming Mei had an extra suitcase in their hands than Wen Wan.

Mingmei looked Wenwan up and down and asked again: "Wanwan, you really don't live on campus?"

"No. If I live on campus, I won't be free. I can only leave the campus on Sundays. If I want to eat something, I can't buy it right away."

Mingmei thought of the gangsters she met last semester and couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Wanwan, why don't you live with us on campus? I'm worried about you going home alone at night."

Wen Wan waved her hand nonchalantly and shouted, "What's there to worry about? Look around the entire Nanzhou City. Who else has the same speed and endurance as me?" Seeing Ming Mei's slightly frowned eyebrows, Wen Wan patted her shoulder again and promised, "Don't worry, I run very fast. I promise that after the evening self-study class, I will run home as fast as a rocket and will never stay on the road, okay?"

Mingmei couldn't persuade her, so she could only sigh and said, "Well, you must pay attention to safety anyway."

When they arrived at the school, the three of them first went to Zhong Nuo to register. He Xi and Ming Mei told her that they wanted to live on campus. Zhong Nuo nodded and said, "That's good. If we live on campus, we will have more time to study."

After she finished speaking, she took out her cell phone and made three calls in succession. Finally, she told them, "I've arranged it for you. It's room 5, Building 312. Our class's dormitory is full, so you two will have to share with other seniors from other classes. They're seniors in their third year of high school. They're going to take the college entrance exam in a few months, and they're studying very hard. You two should pay attention to the atmosphere and don't affect their studies."

"Got it! We will complete the task!" He Xi and Ming Mei said in unison.

"You can find the dormitory manager later and pay the accommodation fee. She will give you keys and bedding."

"Teacher!" Mingmei suddenly asked, "I brought my own quilt cover and pillowcase. Can I use my own?"

"Sure, bedding is distributed uniformly anyway, two beds of quilt, two sheets, two pillowcases and quilt covers, use them alternately to avoid waste." Zhong Nuo stamped their student IDs and returned them to them. "Classes will start tomorrow, so concentrate. He Xi, you and Ming Mei are in the same dormitory, so ask her if you don't understand anything. Ask her to help you with your studies when she has time. Try your best and get higher scores in the exam."

"Yes, yes, yes!" He Xi agreed repeatedly, "You are right."

After leaving the head teacher's office, the three of them came to the downstairs of dormitory building 5. When they were about to go in, Wen Wan received a call from the physical education teacher. After answering the call, she said, "I have to go to the gymnasium and can't help you tidy up the dormitory."

He Xi said: "It's okay, we can sort it out ourselves, you go ahead and do your work."

"Yeah." Wen Wan nodded and parted ways with the two of them.

After Wen Wan left, He Xi and Ming Mei immediately found the dormitory manager and explained the situation to her.

The aunt took out two keys from the cabinet and handed them to them. She pointed to the bedding in an oversized transparent plastic bag on the table and said, "This is your quilt. Can you lift it? Do you want me to help you lift it up?"

"No need, Auntie. We can carry it ourselves."

He Xi picked up one of the plastic bags and wanted to put it on the suitcase, but the bag was too big and kept sliding down. It seemed that he could not pick it up in one go, so he had to do it in two times.

She turned her head to Mingmei and said, "Mingming, this thing is too big to fit in the suitcase, and I can't take it all at once. Wait here for me, I'll carry mine up first, and then I'll help you take it."

"it is good."

So He Xi carried the suitcase in his left hand and grabbed the plastic bag in his right hand, and ran upstairs in two steps as if he was holding two little chicks.

Seeing He Xi's relaxed look, Ming Mei began to doubt the weight of the huge plastic bag. She also imitated He Xi's movements, intending to weigh the bedding with her left hand and the suitcase with her right hand. However, she failed before she could accomplish her goal. It was too strenuous to carry one bag with one hand, and her forearms could not stop shaking.

Mingmei gave up decisively, looked around, swallowed guiltily, and thought, forget it, just pretend nothing happened.

Not long after, He Xi came downstairs in a hurry, and went upstairs again with Mingmei's things in a hurry.

The senior students in the senior year are all in class, and dormitory 312 is empty.

The dormitory is for eight people, but judging by the furnishings in the room, even if He Xi and Ming Mei are included, there should only be six people.

"Mingming, do you live in the upper or lower bunk?"

"The upper bunk, how about you?"

"Then I'll sleep in the lower bunk."

They were lucky because the senior students had left them a complete bunk bed so they could sleep in one bed.

After determining their respective beds, they opened their suitcases. Mingmei was responsible for placing daily necessities, while He Xi began to make the bed.

He Xi sorted out the debris on the bed board and put it on another empty bed. He took out a pack of wet wipes and wiped the bed board and bed frame inside and out twice.

After making sure that everything was cleaned, he said to Mingmei, "Mingming, are you done? You can climb up and make the bed now." "I'm done! I'll be right there!" Mingmei washed and wrung out the sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases distributed by the school, then hung them on the clothesline. After drying her hands, she walked in.

She took out the four-piece bedding set she brought from home from her suitcase and explained to He Xi, "I'm not being pretentious. These are new sheets from school. I have to wash them before I can use them, otherwise I'll get a rash on my body."

"Heaven and earth can bear witness to this!" He Xi raised his right hand seriously and stretched out four fingers, "I have never thought that you are hypocritical."

Ming Mei smiled, then climbed onto the bed holding the sheets and sat on the bed. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and said quickly, "He Xi, this bed is too hard. Throw a quilt up to me and I'll use it as a mattress."

"Okay." He Xi responded, "I'll go wash my hands first."

After handing the quilt to Mingmei, He Xi began to tinker with his lower bunk bed.

In her previous life, she was a student in a police academy and had to undergo military training on a daily basis, so making the bed was a piece of cake for her.

In just a few moments, she had made the bed neatly and even folded a piece of tofu.

She looked up at Mingmei on the upper bunk and immediately opened her mouth.

I saw her entire upper body crawling into the quilt cover, rustling the quilt inside, as if the red quilt cover had become a spirit.

"Mingming, how can you put a quilt like this?" He Xi couldn't help laughing, "Come out quickly."

"Ah?" Mingmei replied vaguely, then she rustled at the quilt and poked her head out. Her face was red, her hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks. She turned her head and asked curiously, "Were you calling me just now?"

"Yeah." He Xi crossed his arms, "Just put the quilt in there, why did you get in there directly?"

Mingmei sighed and said dejectedly, "I have never made a quilt by myself before. I didn't expect that this quilt would be so disobedient and always curled up into a ball. The corners of the quilt are also moving around and not staying where they should be."

"Come down, I'll show you."

"okay."
Mingmei put down the quilt cover and climbed down the ladder carefully. She saw He Xi's neatly folded "tofu block" quilt and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, why do I feel that you fold it better than Instructor Jian demonstrated?"

He Xi was praised by Ming Mei, and couldn't help but feel happy. He chuckled and said, "The disciple is better than the master."

After getting Mingmei's affirmation, He Xi worked hard and quickly packed Mingmei's quilt. He also showed her the skill of folding "tofu blocks", which made Mingmei exclaim repeatedly.

"Wow, He Xi you are amazing."

"I just folded more, practice makes perfect." He Xi scratched his head embarrassedly, "You are so smart, you can learn everything just by looking at it once. You will definitely do very well next time."

"I don't care, I just think you're awesome."

Mingmei was not stingy with her praise, and her expression and attitude were extremely sincere, which made He Xi shy. She took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was almost noon, so she simply changed the subject: "Are you going to the cafeteria for lunch?"

"Let's go outside." Mingmei said, "Starting tomorrow, we can only leave the school during the day on Sundays. Call Wenwan and Li Xingyu, and let's go to a small restaurant for a good meal, how about it?"

"Okay! Let Li Xingyu treat us, and we'll give her a good beating!" He Xi said as he opened the group chat of [No. 4 Middle School F] and informed Li Xingyu of the treat message.

During the meal, Wen Wan thought about the fact that three members of F4 lived on campus, and she was the only one who went to school on the day. She felt a little sad and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, we all live on campus. I will have to walk the road ahead alone..."

"Look at you." Mingmei pretended to scold, "I asked you repeatedly before whether you wanted to live with us on campus, and you said no. Now you are crying here again. If you are really afraid of being alone, it's not too late. Let's go find the class teacher!"

"No, no." Wen Wan shook her head like a rattle and said repeatedly, "We just want to express our feelings. Living on campus is so boring. How about this, I'll go to school as a day student and bring you breakfast every day?"

"It's a deal." Mingmei stretched out her little finger, "Pink."

"Of course!" Wen Wan also held out her little finger, "Pin it down and don't change it for a hundred years."

"What has changed?"

"When you change, you will be Zhu Bajie." Wen Wan said confidently, and then stretched out her thumb and Ming Mei's thumb to seal it, and a contract was thus created.

After making the pinky promise, Wen Wan turned her head to He Xi again and said, "I've been watching a TV series recently. After the heroine moved into the school dormitory, her roommates became jealous of her excellence and tried to trip her up in both overt and covert ways. It was disgusting. Fortunately, you two live in the same dormitory, so at least you have company. You must protect A Meimei and don't let others bully her."

"Come on, we live in the dormitory, not in the palace. Why are there so many intrigues? You must have watched too many TV dramas." He Xi pointed at Li Xingyu with disdain, "If it were really like what you said, a rich second-generation like Li Xingyu would have been assassinated long ago."

Wen Wan pouted and shook her head in a serious tone: "Don't disbelieve me, my worries are all justified. Aren't there enough examples of this in the news? Some people put chemical substances in the dormitory water dispenser, and some people hid razor blades in their roommates' towels and put needles in their roommates' apples..."

"Wen Wan." Ming Mei stopped her tremblingly, "Can you please stop talking? I'm timid, the more you talk, the more scared I feel. How can I live happily in the dormitory?"
