Although Zhou Xiaoyan also had a bed curtain, she felt that the light from the small lamps of Lin Xuemei and the others was too glaring. The light would still shine onto her bed through the gaps in the curtains, and she hadn't slept well for several days in a row.
On Saturday night, Ye Linchen did not go to the library to study, but returned to his rented room.
Lin Xuemei, Wang Lina, and Li Hongying studied in the library until closing time before returning to their dormitory.
When I turned on the light, I saw that Zhou Xiaoyan's bed curtains were already drawn, and she had obviously gone to sleep.
Lin Xuemei made a "shh" gesture to Wang Lina and Li Hongying, signaling them to be quiet and not to wake her.
The two understood each other perfectly, nodded quickly, and quietly put their things away, trying not to make any noise.
Lin Xuemei took a small flashlight, waved it at the two of them, turned off the light, and tiptoed after them to the washroom. After a quick wash, she quietly returned to her bed.
Lin Xuemei, overwhelmed with her task, was wide awake. She pointed to the desk and asked Li Hongying and Wang Lina if they wanted to continue studying.
The two of them had the same idea, so they nodded.
So San quietly walked to his desk, turned on the small desk lamp, and planned to review for a while longer.
Although they moved very quietly, Zhou Xiaoyan, who was lying in bed and not asleep, still felt it.
She found it particularly annoying after Lin Xuemei and the other two turned on their desk lamps and started studying.
They have no self-awareness at all!
It's past 11 o'clock and they're still not resting. It's not like they're staying in a single room. Why can't they consider other people's feelings?
She rolled over and pulled the blanket over her head, trying to block out the irritating light.
The light, however, seemed to have a penetrating power, managing to see right through the blankets and making her even more irritable.
This matter must be clarified today, otherwise when will it ever end?
Zhou Xiaoyan couldn't hold back any longer. She threw off the covers, sat up abruptly, pulled back the bed curtains with a "whoosh," and angrily pointed at Lin Xuemei and the other two, accusing them in a shrill voice.
"What's wrong with you guys? You come home this late every day, making a terrible racket, and now the lights are on. Can't a person get any sleep?!"
Because Zhou Xiaoyan's home is in Jiangcheng City, she has to go home from time to time, so she doesn't spend much time in the dormitory.
Even in the dormitory, he always stayed in bed, didn't interact much with the other people in the dormitory, and didn't participate in everyone's activities. He was almost like an invisible person.
Now that she had suddenly lost her temper, Lin Xuemei, who was usually lively and talkative, was stunned and stared blankly at her, not knowing how to answer.
Wang Lina, however, was not one to tolerate such behavior and immediately retorted with a question to Zhou Xiaoyan.
“We were very quiet when we came in, trying not to disturb you. We even turned off the lights and went in and out in the dark. How come it was so noisy?”
"You guys are just making noise! I was asleep, and you woke me up!" Zhou Xiaoyan shouted unreasonably.
Li Hongying, who has a good temper, quickly stepped in and said, "It's alright, Lina. It is indeed a bit late. Xiaoyan was awakened from her sleep, so it's normal for her to be upset."
Zhou Xiaoyan became increasingly arrogant and made some pronouncements.
"I'm telling you, if I don't get enough sleep and do poorly on my final exams, it's all your fault!"
Lin Xuemei realized she had really disturbed Zhou Xiaoyan's rest and immediately apologized to her, feeling embarrassed.
"Xiaoyan, we're sorry, we didn't mean to. The final exams are really important, and we have to make the most of our time to study. Since it's affecting you, we'll pack up and stop studying right away."
Since her attitude was so sincere, Zhou Xiaoyan couldn't continue making a scene and just snorted coldly.
"I'm not stopping you from studying, but you have to consider my feelings. If you want to continue studying, either move out and come back after the exams, or do what we do and come back to sleep before lights out, and don't disturb my rest!"
"Okay, okay, we'll think about it."
Lin Xuemei immediately agreed to settle the matter peacefully.
Although Wang Lina was not convinced, Lin Xuemei had already agreed, so she tidied up the documents on the table and prepared to go to sleep.
Lin Xuemei, however, was a little puzzled.
She and Zhou Xiaoyan were classmates. Even Ye Linchen, who was usually the most diligent student, was studying hard in the library for the final exams. How come Zhou Xiaoyan was so relaxed, going to bed early and getting up late every day, not going to the library to study, and occasionally taking out a book to just write a report?
Does she have some special study method that allows her to pass exams with ease?
She immediately and humbly sought advice from Zhou Xiaoyan.
"Xiaoyan, how do you usually study? You don't seem nervous at all. Do you have any secrets? Teach us!"
Seeing that her attack was effective and Lin Xuemei's attitude was so good, Zhou Xiaoyan didn't hide anything and proudly shared her secret with her.
"What's so difficult about that? I already asked my senior. Our finance department has one free make-up exam opportunity. The questions on the make-up exam are almost the same as the final exam, 80% of them are the same questions! I don't plan to take the final exam seriously. I just need to memorize the original questions and take them on the make-up exam. That way I can get a high score and it's easy and effortless. I'm not as stupid as you guys who have to memorize by rote!"
Lin Xuemei was even more puzzled: "Since you don't plan to take the exam seriously, staying up a little later at night shouldn't be a problem, right? How could our studying affect your performance?"
Zhou Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, impatiently pulled up the bed curtains, lay down, and said, "What do you know! Even though I don't plan to take the exam seriously, I still need to memorize the questions! If I don't sleep well, my memory will decline, which will affect my memorization efficiency!"
Lin Xuemei, Wang Lina, and Li Hongying exchanged glances, all feeling that her method was somewhat unreliable.
Lin Xuemei couldn't help but ask again, "What if the questions aren't the same as the original ones? What will you do then?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyan immediately sat up, yanked open the bed curtains, her face ashen, and pointed at Lin Xuemei, cursing angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about! It'll definitely be the same questions on the test! Stop jinxing me!" After saying that, she emphasized again, "You guys better be quiet tonight! If you keep making noise like this, I'll report you for using small appliances without permission!"
"You, you, how could you do this? We're roommates, can't we understand each other?" Lin Xuemei was furious and questioned angrily.
"That's how I am. You guys be careful, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand."
After Zhou Xiaoyan finished speaking, she closed the bed curtains and went to sleep.
Wang Lina made a face at her angrily and muttered, "You jerk, just as annoying as Zhang Tingting!"
Although Zhou Xiaoyan was annoying, their desk lamps were indeed prohibited electrical appliances. If they were reported, they would definitely be punished, and it might even affect their graduation.
Lin Xuemei packed her books with a worried expression, feeling like she was about to collapse.
If things really go as Zhou Xiaoyan requested, she won't be able to complete the report and review at all, and she'll definitely fail the final exam!
