Zhang Tingting's mother's heart softened as expected.
This girl, who was pampered and spoiled since childhood, must have suffered a lot and endured a lot of grievances when she was away from home for the first time, all alone.
She thought for a moment, sighed, and her tone softened.
"Alright, getting expelled is out of the question. It's not that easy. Don't overthink it."
"Aren't you guys about to start military training?"
"The person in charge of the military training base is your dad's former comrade-in-arms. I'll go and say hello to him and ask him to make things difficult for them during the military training, as a lesson to them, to let them know who they can mess with and who they can't."
Zhang Tingting was not satisfied with the outcome.
She now wants to fire Wang Lina and Ye Linchen to vent her anger.
But she also knew that if she continued to make a fuss, there probably wouldn't be any better outcome, so she could only reluctantly agree.
"I'll let them off this time, I'll spare them this once. I don't want to go back to the dorm, at least not until military training, so I don't have to see them and get annoyed!"
Zhang Tingting's mother also felt that if things had already turned out like this at the very beginning of the semester, who knew what kind of trouble would arise if they lived in the same dormitory? So she agreed.
“It’s simple. Let Xiao Liu answer the phone. She can stay at her house for a few days first, and then go back to the dormitory when military training starts.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tingting immediately perked up, proudly raised her chin, and handed the phone to Counselor Liu, who was standing to the side, not daring to breathe.
Counselor Liu took the phone and had just put it to his ear when he heard Zhang Tingting's mother's unquestionable voice on the other end.
"Xiao Liu, I'll leave Tingting in your care for the time being. She'll stay at your place for the next few days. Please take good care of her and let me know if she needs anything. Don't make her suffer."
Upon hearing this, Counselor Liu felt utterly miserable and inwardly groaned.
My goodness, the person next to me is a veritable living ancestor!
If I bring such an ancestor home, will I ever have a good life?
Shouldn't we set up an altar and worship her?
But no matter how unwilling she was, she didn't dare to refuse!
He could only suppress his displeasure, force a stiff smile, and quickly agreed: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Tingting and make sure she doesn't suffer any grievances."
After hanging up the phone, Counselor Liu glanced at Zhang Tingting and inwardly groaned.
But he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face. He could only force himself to be cheerful, and led Zhang Tingting out of the office and headed home.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get a good night's sleep for the next few days.
Ye Linchen's side was free from Director Liu's troubles; everything was calm and peaceful.
Not long after Zhang Tingting left, the atmosphere in the dormitory immediately became lively, and the oppressive feeling was swept away.
Lin Xuemei was the first to suggest, "That rich girl is finally gone, I feel so much better! I heard there's a hot pot restaurant in the university town that's cheap and tastes really good. How about we go for a meal together tomorrow after we pick up our books and get our measurements taken? It'll be our first dorm get-together, what do you think?"
Ye Linchen has nothing to do after picking up the books tomorrow, so he's naturally willing to go. The rest of the dorm members also agree and express their support.
"Great! I've been wanting to go out for a meal for ages, it's settled then!" Wang Lina clapped her hands and cheered.
"I want to try it too. I heard that the spicy beef at that hot pot restaurant is especially flavorful!" Li Hongying said with anticipation.
"It's settled then. We'll meet in the dorm tomorrow afternoon after we pick up our things, and go together!"
Lin Xuemei excitedly made the final decision.
After agreeing on the terms, everyone packed their things and went back to their beds to sleep.
This is the first time in Ye Linchen's two lifetimes that he has truly lived in a student dormitory.
Living and eating with my classmates filled me with both excitement and novelty.
I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but as soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep.
The next day, Ye Linchen got up early, washed up and tidied up briefly, and went to the school cafeteria with her roommates for breakfast.
In the 1990s, the food in university cafeterias was cheaper and more affordable than that in small restaurants outside.
A fist-sized meat bun costs only 50 cents, and a white flour steamed bun is even cheaper, costing only 10 cents.
Ye Linchen carefully bought a meat bun, a boiled egg, and a bowl of steaming hot porridge. The total cost was less than two yuan, and he was full after eating.
After breakfast, Ye Linchen, Li Hongying, and Wang Lina, the three elected class committee members, went to the school's textbook room to collect the class's textbooks.
The textbook room opens promptly at nine o'clock every morning. Since students from all majors across the university need to collect their textbooks from the textbook room, long queues form here every morning.
If you want to get your textbooks early, you have to line up before the doors open; it's first come, first served.
Ye Linchen had discussed it with the other class committee members last night, and she and Li Hongying came here in advance to queue up.
After the door opened, Luo Yuanbing and Sun Xueyong brought the boys from the class over to take the textbooks back first, and then everyone distributed them together.
This will save a lot of time and prevent classmates from having to wait in line.
Ye Linchen and Li Hongying arrived relatively early; there were only ten students ahead of them, so their seats were considered quite close to the front.
The two chatted together and didn't feel lonely. Before they knew it, the line behind them grew longer and longer, and the teachers from the textbook room also came to work.
At nine o'clock, the textbook room opened on time. Ye Linchen and Li Hongying waited and waited, but apart from Luo Yuanbing and the boys in their dormitory, they did not see any other boys in the class.
"What's going on? Why are only a few of you here?" Li Hongying asked Luo Yuanbing curiously.
Luo Yuanbing was also completely baffled: "I don't know. Sun Xueyong said he was responsible for notifying the others, so I didn't pay attention and only called my roommates over."
Ye Linchen didn't need to guess; he already knew what had happened.
Sun Xueyong must have been resentful and sabotaged things!
Ye Linchen felt a surge of anger.
This guy is so irresponsible, playing such tricks at a time like this!
But the most urgent thing is not to get angry, but to move the class's textbooks back first, so as not to delay the students' learning.
The absence of boys should not affect the interests of the whole class.
She turned to Li Hongying and said, "Hongying, go ask the girls in the class if anyone is willing to help move the textbooks. We'll remember the boys' absence and settle the score with them later!"
