Jiang Xia stayed up all night reading a retro-themed novel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself as the male protagonist’s doomed ex-wife in that very story.
Her storyline began ...
Chapter 576 Dormitory
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei came to the girls' dormitory.
Maybe because they arrived early, the dormitory door was still locked.
Jiang Xia opened the door, "There's no one inside, we're the first to arrive."
Zhou Chenglei saw that there was no one inside, so he walked in with Jiang Xia.
The dormitory is only a dozen square meters, with four bunk beds that can accommodate eight people, and a few desks. It would probably be very crowded if it were fully populated.
This dormitory cannot be compared with modern university dormitories, but at least it is a building, which is very comfortable for many children from rural areas.
Zhou Chenglei asked Jiang Xia: "Pick an upper bunk bed?"
Jiang Xia: "Yes, the upper bunk."
She probably rarely sleeps here, and probably only takes a nap here for a while at noon on rainy days.
My roommate won’t sit on the upper bunk, so it’s cleaner.
Zhou Chenglei pointed to the bed on the left side near the window and said, "How about that bed?"
Jiang Xia also thought that the window seat was good, although the wind might blow in during the winter. "Okay."
After deciding on the bed, Zhou Chenglei went out to fetch a bucket of water and came back with a rag to wipe the bed board and bed frame clean.
Jiang Xia also took a rag and wiped the desk clean.
Since she didn't live there permanently, she chose a desk in the corner, and left the desks in good locations for other roommates.
While the two were busy, Gu Yue walked in.
Gu Yue was stunned when she saw Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei. She didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence!
Then she hurriedly said to Father Gu outside: "Dad, come in! There are other gay men here."
Father Gu then came in and was stunned when he saw Jiang Xia.
Gu Yue wanted to know who the other person was, so she took the initiative to greet him and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Gu Yue, from the Foreign Languages Class 1. Are you also from the Foreign Languages Class 1?"
Jiang Xia recognized the woman he saw outside the mall yesterday and responded, "Hello! Jiang Xia, Fashion Design Class 1."
Jiang Xia, Gu Heng silently repeated the name in his heart.
Gu Yue looked at Zhou Chenglei again: "Comrade Xiao Xia, is that your brother? This is my father."
She saw Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei holding three children yesterday and guessed that they should be a couple, but it was not easy to ask!
After hearing this, Gu Heng turned his gaze to Zhou Chenglei.
"Uncle, hello." Jiang Xia greeted Father Gu first, and then said, "This is my wife."
Gu Heng nodded and smiled, "Hello."
"Hello." Zhou Chenglei turned around and greeted the two of them, his eyes sweeping across Gu Heng's face.
Gu Yue looked at Zhou Chenglei. This was definitely the most imposing and the best-looking man she had ever seen! She smiled and said, "Hello!"
After saying hello, Zhou Chenglei lowered his head and continued to wipe the bed.
It was not convenient for him to stay in the girls' dormitory for too long, so Zhou Chenglei quickened his pace, thinking about making the bed as quickly as possible and then leaving.
Gu Heng couldn't help but look at Zhou Chenglei who was wiping the bed board carefully.
Gu Yue continued to talk to Jiang Xia: "I didn't expect you to get married so soon! Are the triplets yesterday your children?"
Triplets? Gu Heng turned his head suddenly.
Not everyone can give birth to multiple babies; it depends on genetics.
"Yes." Jiang Xia had already wiped the table clean. She took out water cups, kettles, lunch boxes and other things.
Gu Yue continued to get closer to Jiang Xia and said, "I can't tell that you already have three children! You look about the same age as me. I'm seventeen, how old are you?"
Jiang Xia looks really young, about the same age as me, and the key is that her skin is very good, even better than mine.
She had no idea how old she was.
If she hadn't seen them taking their three children out with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Jiang Xia had given birth to children.
Gu Heng also looked at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia: "I'm already twenty-one."
"Twenty-one? You are four years older than me, but your skin is so good! Better than my skin at seventeen. What skin care products do you use?"
Jiang Xia: "I don't use many skin care products in the summer. I just focus on sun protection and don't get tanned. I only use moisturizing creams in the winter."
Zhou Chenglei wiped the bed board clean at this time. He climbed out of bed, opened the trolley case, took out the mosquito net from it, and began to hang up the mosquito net.
Gu Yue asked Jiang Xia again: "Your suitcase looks very spacious! It can even hold a quilt. How much did you pay for it?"
The suitcase contained a quilt of thin silk folded into squares, a mosquito net, a pillow, a mat, a set of clothes and a coat.
Zhou Chenglei packed everything for Jiang Xia, and each item was folded very nicely so it could fit in.
"This was given to me by someone else. I have to take care of the children and don't usually live here, so I don't have many things to prepare. Aren't you picky about the bed?" Jiang Xia didn't like to talk too much, so he asked when he saw the father and daughter standing there motionless.
Gu Yue: "My home is in Beijing, and I don't live in the dormitory often, so I'll sleep on the lower bunk."
Jiang Xia naturally had no objection, as others had the right to choose their beds.
Gu Heng couldn't help but ask, "You're not staying here? Are you from Beijing too?"
Jiang Xia: “No.”
As for where she was from, she didn't say.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Heng wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask more.
He looked at his daughter.
Gu Yue didn't understand and thought Gu Heng asked her to clean the bed: "Dad, you have to help me get a bucket of water! I can't lift it."
Gu Heng: “…”
He had no choice but to go out with the bucket.
Zhou Chenglei hung up the mosquito net, and Jiang Xia put the pillow and quilt on the bed.
Zhou Chenglei arranged the pillows and quilts.
The couple works together in perfect harmony.
Finally, Jiang Xia put the two sets of clothes away.
Zhou Chenglei got out of bed only after everything was tidied up.
Gu Yue looked at the quilt that was folded into a tofu block and asked: "Is your husband a soldier?"
The other party seems to be more powerful than her father, so his position should be quite high, right?
He is in a high position at such a young age, so his family must be very well-connected, right? Moreover, the watch on Jiang Xia's wrist and the suitcase are not something that ordinary people can buy. You have to go to the Friendship Store to buy them! Can ordinary people enter the Friendship Store? You can't buy anything if you go in. You need foreign exchange coupons.
Foreign exchange certificates are the hardest to come by. On the black market, a foreign exchange certificate worth 100 yuan is sold for 130 yuan, and it is still in short supply! Jiang Xia: "I have already been discharged from the army."
Gu Yue: “…”
Huh? It's different from what I thought.
But after retiring from the army, you can get a good job! She wanted to continue to inquire.
Jiang Xia didn't want to say anything more! Zhou Chenglei wanted to take the water in the basin and bucket out and pour it out.
Jiang Xia hurriedly said, "You carry the water in the bucket and I'll pour the water in the basin."
So the couple went out together to get some water.
Gu Heng came back with a bucket of water, saw them and smiled, "Are you done?"
"Okay, that's it."
After pouring out the water, Zhou Chenglei cleaned the basin and bucket, and the two walked back to the dormitory.
Zhou Chenglei didn't go in again.
Jiang Xia put the bucket and basin away and said to Gu Heng and his daughter, "We'll leave first."
After checking in, I have nothing to do today and classes will start tomorrow.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Gu Yue said enthusiastically.
"Goodbye." Jiang Xia picked up the empty suitcase and left.
She and Zhou Chenglei also have to go home and take their children to visit the old leader.
Gu Heng watched Jiang Xia walk out of the dormitory.
