Want to be your friend
"Pretending to be sick?"
After Xu Nian finished speaking, Liang Ting repeated it subconsciously, but then she quickly realized something and covered her mouth with her eyes darting around.
"You're pretending."
"You're pretending."
They both spoke at the same time, both in low voices.
In other words, they reached a tacit understanding again.
Liang Ting was the first to express her dissatisfaction, "You are deliberately cursing me!"
Xu Nian didn't rush to refute. Instead, he stood up from the stool and turned in front of Liang Ting. "Look at my appearance, my clothes, and my family background. If I say I'm sick from exhaustion, do you believe me?"
"You're just a bean sprout, what's there to be unbelieving about?" He completely forgot what he was thinking in his heart just now, that the other person was a country kid who grew up in the countryside and was not spoiled.
Xu Nian couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, 'She really has a foul mouth and is so mean'!
I wonder how much good deeds I must have done in my previous life to be able to grow up safely.
What evil did I do in my previous life?
Due to several days of high-intensity labor, the roommates in the dormitory had no intention of studying and basically all collapsed on the kang.
There aren't many entertainment activities nowadays, so I was surprised to see two people who were quarreling with each other whispering to each other.
But no one dared to go near the two of them to watch the fun or eavesdrop. After all, everyone knows that after becoming famous in one battle, you can't afford to offend them!
"Let's be clear, your face is better than mine. The teacher gives you face but not me." Xu Nian quietly flattered Liang Ting.
The 1970s were not like the modern times. Saturdays and Sundays were designated days of rest. Nowadays, people only have one day off a week. Today is only Thursday, and she still has two days of work to do. She can't work at all.
It's a miracle that she can hold on until now. She is not the kind of good girl who can endure hardships. Her lifelong goal is to raise herself like a princess.
Look at Liu Xi. Although she is a girl, she is as strong-willed as a boy. After working for a few days, she now goes to bed early.
She had originally wanted Xu Hongqi to give her some advice, but after waiting for three days, there was still no sign of him. He better have something important to do, otherwise... she would just ignore him...
Embarrassing, she is really a coward now!
Liang Ting was not a fool. Of course she knew that Xu Nian was flattering her. She also knew clearly that the school teachers were not looking at her because of her face, but because her father was capable.
But she still felt happy when she was complimented.
She could see that Bean Sprout was very arrogant in nature, and it was probably because she really couldn't stand it when someone said such things to her.
Thinking that she was not as good as her, she initially thought about skipping school tomorrow. After all, the school would not expel her. At most, she would be scolded by her parents and have some pocket money deducted.
Now that she had a ready-made idea and the enemy's submissive flattery, it would be no big deal for her to pretend to be sick.
"I'm a generous man, so I'll let you go. I'll be sick tomorrow, so please take good care of me."
Xu Nian sighed that what the old man said was indeed true. When a person's skin becomes thick, even a gun cannot penetrate it.
But she was also very satisfied with Liang Ting's understanding. Although the word "serve" sounded unpleasant, this was really the role she had in mind from the beginning.
She was afraid the teacher wouldn't allow her to do so, so she discussed with Liang Ting: "I'll take care of you tomorrow. The teacher may not agree, but I'll tell the teacher that I'm not feeling well, but I can hold on."
"Another reason is to let the teacher see our attitude. Although we weren't friendly at first, after working together and receiving education, we have deeply realized our mistakes. But because of this incident, our friendship has accelerated. This time, we took the initiative to take care of each other."
Liang Ting was shocked by Xu Nian's shamelessness, and then said with a sour expression: "Xu Nian, you are too good at pretending, and it's so disgusting."
Xu Nian told her that her mouth was dry, but this person mocked her. She couldn't help but said angrily: "Otherwise, I will listen to you and do whatever you say."
Liang Ting, who was not as good at speaking and doing things as her, pretended to be reluctant and said, "My brain is used to do big things. Thinking about these things is a waste of my time."
After saying that, he took the self-criticism written by Xu Nian on the table with confidence and copied it openly.
Xu Nian couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw her pretentious behavior. He didn't bother to pay attention to her and went to sleep on the bed.
She has to get up on time tomorrow to report to the teacher. Because of their situation, the school rehired a retired female teacher to be their dormitory manager.
After lying on the kang, Xu Nian stretched comfortably, but his movement was so big that he almost pressed Li Qiunan's long hair on the left side of the bunk. After carefully avoiding it, he quickly fell asleep.
Xu Nian didn't know how long she had slept. She felt a buzzing sound in her ears, so she covered her ears in annoyance. However, as soon as she covered them, they were ruthlessly pried open.
He was half awake, startled, and suddenly opened his eyes.
Liang Ting leaned over her body, and Xu Nian was startled and woke up instantly.
"You are, no, sick."
As if she knew that her appearance scared people, Liang Ting said embarrassedly: "I have a question for you. I can't sleep if I don't ask you."
Not daring to wait for Xu Nian to reply, she quickly said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell the teacher tomorrow that I can handle it on my own and let you continue to work?"
Speechlessness was Xu Nian's mother tongue at this moment. She had to wake someone up just to ask about this. This girl was too selfish.
The combination of resentment and fear caused her to lose control and yell, "If you dare, I'll expose you. Anyway, I can prevent both of us from working, and I can also let you work a few more days."
Finally, he added in a more serious tone: "At worst, we'll both die and the net will be broken."
After saying that, he kicked Liang Ting lightly with his foot, covered himself with the quilt and continued to try to sleep.
Liang Ting was in the wrong and did not fight back. Instead, she snorted and left, returning to her bed opposite.
…
Xu Nian's body gradually adapted to the intensity of the work. Unlike the previous few days when he was so tired that he couldn't sleep well, he felt very good today and went to the cafeteria early to eat with Liu Xi.
She waited until the campus bell rang and it was time to go to work before she separated from Liu Xi. She ran back to the dormitory to remind Liang Ting to get ready, but she saw that the pig was sleeping soundly without any psychological pressure.
She wordlessly pushed him awake, "Wake up, wake up."
Seeing the man open his eyes, he quickly instructed: "I'll go downstairs and tell the teacher about your situation. You have a kettle anyway, so use hot water to heat a towel and put it on your forehead."
After saying that, he looked hysterical. He didn't look like a patient at all. He looked healthier than anyone else.
If she hadn't had anyone above her, she would never have brought this girl with her to do this. The more she thought about it, the more she blamed this girl. She rubbed Liang Ting's face hard with her hands in revenge, ignoring her struggle, until both of her cheeks turned red. Then she left quickly after saying, "This makes you look more like you're sick."
Regardless of Liang Ting's cursing, Xu Nian hurried back to the back of the school, found the teacher and said anxiously: "Teacher Lin, I just went back to the dormitory to get something, and saw that Liang Ting's face was very red and she had been sleeping. I touched her head and it was a little hot. It seemed that she was sick." After that, he coughed several times.
Teacher Lin was suddenly surprised to see Xu Nian running towards him so actively. After all, this girl had been working around him these days. He thought Liang Ting was sick.
The student was just sick, which was normal, but after all, his family background was there, so he had to ask. As he was the only male teacher, it was not convenient for him to go. He thought that there was a dormitory manager now, so he would be fulfilling his obligation by going and saying something.
Teacher Lin was in front, and Xu Nian followed behind, just coughing non-stop.
"Are you not feeling well too? Do you want to go to the dormitory with me?" Teacher Lin asked.
"My throat was a little dry when I woke up this morning. I just ran over here and suddenly started coughing. I want to go back and put on some more clothes."
"Teacher Lin, is this okay?"
Teacher Lin certainly couldn't say no. Instead, he said with concern, "If you're not feeling well, take a rest today."
Xu Nian didn't expect that her rest would come so easily, and she almost couldn't control the corners of her mouth.
She didn't dare to give in and tug at the problem, and lose the rest she had finally gotten, so she quickly pretended to be weak and said, "Thank you, Teacher Lin. I will take good care of myself and get better soon to pick up stones.
Teacher Lin: “…”
When they arrived at the girls' dormitory, Teacher Lin asked Xu Nian to help call the dormitory manager. After she came, he let Xu Nian go upstairs directly.
Xu Nian went up to the second floor and entered the dormitory. Seeing that Liang Ting was honestly following her instructions, she felt slightly satisfied. Of course, the main reason for her current mood was that she could rest for sure.
She didn't tell Liang Ting either, for fear that she would make a scene if she knew. She helped her make her hair even more messy and then took a towel and dipped it in cold water.
The two were now waiting for someone to come up to see the patient. Not long after, the dormitory manager knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Liang Ting's appearance, he felt that she was sick and wanted to take her to the hospital for a check-up.
As a result, both girls refused for a long time, and finally the dormitory manager had no choice but to leave.
After she left, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in the room, feeling somewhat stable.
The dormitory manager went downstairs and talked with Teacher Lin. They thought it might be fake, but they were not sure. Both of them were experienced teachers and naturally understood the rules better than anyone else. Thinking of Liang Ting's father, they both decided to just do it!
Anyway, it's only two days, and those two girls don't do all the work. The boys have to go to see them, which affects their work. It's better not to go.
At this point, Xu Nian and Liang Ting started their rest mode, and both slept soundly in the dormitory on the first day.
If Liu Xi hadn't been thinking about her and taking her to the cafeteria for dinner, Xu Nianlou wouldn't have wanted to go downstairs. She even had peach cakes she brought from home in her dormitory.
After the meal, she gave a piece to Liu Xi. They ate while talking. She looked very well. At first, Liu Xi thought she was really sick and was ready to prepare some food to bring back to her dormitory.
"You are so brave! You are not afraid that the teacher will take you to the hospital for a checkup."
Xu Nian didn't want to say it at first, but Liu Xi took such good care of her.
Thinking about how she was taking a break, she felt embarrassed to let someone who had been working all day serve her.
"You don't know how tiring it is to pick up stones. If I continue, you won't see me anymore." Xu Nian said in an exaggerated manner.
Liang Ting opposite was also eating snacks on the bed, but her eyes were always on Xu Nian.
Xu Nian was not someone who lacked any of the five senses, so he could naturally sense it. "Are your eyes tired? Tell me what's going on."
"Is this how you serve me?"
"No, are you addicted to acting?" Xu Nian said nothing, but his lip movements were accurate.
I don’t know if the person on the other side understood it, but he just crumpled the things together and lay down on the bed in silence, covered with the quilt.
Xu Nian didn't understand what was wrong with her. She was fine just now.
Liu Xi looked cool and carefree but thoughtful. He leaned over to Xu Nian's ear and whispered, "She probably wants to be friends with you."
Xu Nian opened his eyes wide, "Real beep, fake beep?"
