Chapter 33 Chapter 33 He quite likes this taste...

The system was stunned by what they heard, and Tao Ning was also a little confused. Oxent's external publicity is that it focuses on the all-round development of students, so the final grades are divided into two items, one is the overall academic score, and the other is the individual score, which account for 80% and 20% respectively.

The total score of the individual score each semester is only 10 points, which examines the students' moral qualities.

For transfer students, if their individual score at the end of the semester is less than three points, not only will they not be able to become regular students, they may even be asked to drop out. The person in charge of deducting points is the Student Union, which was established by Oxent to make it closer to ordinary schools. As the president of the Student Union, Xu Jun has the right to deduct students' individual scores at any time and under any circumstances - as long as the deduction is reasonable.

"But..." Tao Ning stopped the man as he was about to leave, "I'm a new transfer student and I don't have a school uniform."

"Then how did you get in?" The man stopped and turned back, his eyes cold as snow behind his gold-rimmed glasses. It was common knowledge that private cars from ordinary wealthy families weren't even allowed into the school. Only those who got out of the car and put on their school uniforms were allowed in.

"In a car."

Xu Jun glanced at him. The young man stood there, wearing thick black-framed glasses, looking dull and stupid. He was dragging a suitcase and carrying a large schoolbag. He was dressed in ordinary and even a little worn clothes, and his shoes were also a nameless brand. There was no sign of his family being prominent, let alone being able to ride in.

The students around them smelled gossip and crowded around, discussing it all at once. "Did he come in by car?" "Why doesn't he look like him?" "What bad luck! I ran into the president on the first day..."

Tao Ning wanted to explain, but heard the target of his strategy, who hated the whole earth, say lightly: "If you have any objections to the deduction of points, you can find me in the office 305 of the Student Affairs Office." After that, he no longer listened to the discussions of the people around him, nor did he listen to Tao Ning's explanation. He got into the elevator and left.

Seeing that the gossip did not develop further, the classmates dispersed out of boredom, leaving Tao Ning alone and depressed. He knew that the calculation method of Oxent's final grades was different from that of ordinary schools. This personal score was related to his own final grade. He simply calculated the 0.5 points to convert it into the total score.

I haven't even started the exam yet and I've already lost 7.5 points.

Tao Ning became even more depressed. As he walked, he asked the system: [Do I share a dormitory with him?]

【yes. 】

Then he would explain everything to his target tonight. However, Tao Ning had not expected that this seemingly harmless target would be even more difficult to approach than Song Yucong.

He arrived at the dormitory and was shocked by the cleanliness of the floor as soon as he opened the door. Tao Ning had lived in a dormitory when he was a child. Because Tao Yuan was too busy at that time and had no time to take care of him, she applied for him to live in the school. At that time, seven or eight boys were crowded together, with underwear and socks flying everywhere. It was stuffy and smelly. After Tao Ning came, the dormitory became much cleaner, but it was not spotless.

The spacious double-room dormitory before him had a floor so clean it glistened. Every visible spot inside was gleaming, with no dust visible. Beds sat on either side, and the desk was separate. Tao Ning carefully carried her suitcase inside. Luckily, she had come by car, and both the Song residence and the dormitory were very clean, leaving the suitcase's wheels free of any dirt.

The bed on the left has a quilt that looks like folded tofu blocks. The sheets are light blue, as are the pillows. The desk is extremely clean and simple, with only a few books and a water cup. The only bright color is a pot of green succulents next to the water cup.

Tao Ning knew that was Xu Jun's bed, so she went to the bed on the right, made the quilt by herself, and placed an Ultraman doll next to it, which was given by Ayun. Then she took out the bottles and jars of medicine and placed them on the desk.

Finally, it was the cell phone. Tao Ning stared at it for a few seconds and put it under the pillow.

The dormitory does not need to be cleaned at all, every place is very clean. Tao Ning found that this dormitory not only has two separate bathrooms, but also has its own small kitchen. Overall, it does not look like a dormitory, but more like a real house.

Before Tao Ning could mop the floor again, the door behind her opened and it was Xu Jun.

He glanced indifferently at Tao Ning who was holding a mop, as if he was not surprised at all by this new roommate for whom he had just deducted points. He ignored him, put the book on the table, and started reading.

The person behind him quietly approached, probably knowing he was a germaphobe, so he didn't get too close. A sweet lemon scent accompanied the soft, sticky voice as he said, "I came in by bus, so I didn't go to the new student registration office to get my uniform first. Can you spare my points this time? I won't make that mistake again."

It was written in the admission information of Oxent that new students had to report at the school gate and collect the necessary items for admission before they could enter. However, Tao Ning never expected that the driver would drop him off directly at the dormitory building, so he thought he could put down his luggage first and then go to the school gate to collect his things. He did not know the privileges that some families had in Oxent. The driver was used to sending the second young master of the Song family to the school, and thought that the children staying at the Song family also had these privileges, but in fact they did not.

Without even looking up, Xu Jun said, "I told you, if you have any objections to the deduction, you can go to the Student Affairs Office, Office 305. But now is my break time, and I'm not obligated to listen to your explanation."

Tao Ning became even more depressed, "Okay... okay." It seems that the 7.5 points can't be recovered. Why are the targets getting harder and harder to approach each other?

As the boy left, the sweet lemon scent also dissipated. The hand that was turning the page paused, Xu Jun frowned slightly, and opened another page.

There was a landline phone on the dormitory wall. Tao Ning called Tao Yuan. The voice on the other end was pleasantly surprised, a rough and bold one audible throughout the dormitory: "Ningning? Is it fun in the big city? Is anyone bullying you?" A childish, crisp voice echoed from the other end: "Uncle! I miss you! When will you be home?"

The boy's depressed mood gradually eased after hearing the two people's voices. He said softly, "It's fun. The buildings here are very tall, and no one bullies me. I'll be back in early June next year. Xiao Meng, you should listen to your sister at home and don't go fishing by the river all the time. Sister, don't work yourself up. I sent the money in your schoolbag a few days ago. Remember to go get it from Uncle Liu."

"Hey, little brat, why did the thing I stuffed into you get sent back again? Liu Sanqi has been too busy to care about me recently. You didn't know that his wife gave birth to a big fat boy and wanted to treat us to a meal soon. It's a pity that you are not here..."

Xu Jun stared at the words in the book for a long time, not turning the next page. All he could hear was the boy's soft voice, and his nose was filled with the sweet lemon scent—he quite liked it. An hour passed before the chattering in his ears stopped, followed by the sound of a door opening and closing, and the sweet lemon scent disappeared.

The book page was turned again, Xu Jun gathered his thoughts, picked up the pen and started to do the questions.

After walking around for a few minutes, the dormitory door was finally opened. The sweet lemon scent became stronger. Xu Jun heard the boy breathing softly. He tilted his head and his gaze froze slightly.

The young man was wearing Oxent's unique black suit and a white tie. Actually, it was not pure white, as there was a black slash printed on it, indicating that he was not a formal student of Oxent. However, the young man had a slender figure and his waist was so thin that it could be held in one hand. The expensive suit supported his thin body, making him look like an eye-catching, graceful evergreen tree.

No, it's a lemon tree.

Xu Jun thought so, looked for a few seconds, and then looked away.

Tao Ning had no idea what his target was thinking. He felt a little embarrassed about wearing a formal suit for the first time, and practically hurried back to the dorm. "System, is this weird?" The young man still had some of the timidity of a new arrival in the big city, but he had no friends to confide in, so he had to tell the system about the troubles and constraints of growing up.

The system said: [Silly, you look like a little prince in this suit. Of course, you'll look even more like one if you take off your glasses and style your hair.]

【But Zhao Jingqun wouldn't let me pick it.】

As soon as this name came out, the system and Tao Ning fell silent at the same time.

Do you still miss him?

Tao Ning was speechless. When he went to report, he asked passersby and bought a small bowl of porridge from the school cafeteria. It was vegetable porridge and looked delicious, but after just one bite, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "...It's so salty."

But you can't take medicine without eating, so Tao Ning could only get some hot water and put it into the porridge. He reluctantly ate half of it, and then wrinkled his nose and slowly swallowed a dozen pills.

I repacked the porridge in a plastic bag and put it in the trash can. Suddenly, a faint voice rang out beside me: "Don't put kitchen waste in the dormitory trash can. It has a bad smell."

Tao Ning was stunned and looked up, only to find that Xu Jun had been wearing a blue apron and was leaning against the kitchen door, looking at him calmly.
