After that day, the wind and snow grew stronger, and as a result, there were fewer and fewer insects.
During this time, Cheng Zhi went downstairs once. The lobby on the first floor was completely covered in ice, and even the fire doors were frozen shut.
Since there aren't as many bugs as before, the residents on the 13th floor often visit each other's rooms.
Cheng Zhi even brought out the small electric cooker she used in the dormitory. Although it couldn't cook many dishes, it would be good to make a tomato and egg soup on such a cold day.
Chen Yiyi came over after smelling the odor, and leaned against the door like a dormitory supervisor, saying, "You're using prohibited electrical appliances! They're confiscated, and I'm also going to tell your advisor!"
Cheng Zhi was busy pouring egg mixture into the container when she chuckled and said, "Haha, classmate, you must have been in the student council for a long time, right?"
Huang Yiyi from across the hall came out, saying as she walked, "Hey classmate, what's wrong with you? Do you want to destroy what you can't have?"
Chen Yiyi was startled and shuddered as she said, "How come you appear out of nowhere? You scared me!"
"Why is this guy so timid?" Huang Yiyi patted his shoulder with disdain. "You're really not brave enough. You need to work on it."
At this point, Chen Yiyi realized the danger and ran away.
Cheng Zhi burst into laughter when she saw him flee in panic, "He's so scared, you're going to take him to see a horror movie, hahaha..."
After teasing the boy away, Huang Yiyi went inside, wanting to see what Cheng Ye and Xiao Feiran were up to.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the two people were actually studying math problems, and they were even challenging ones.
The coffee table was already covered with several sheets of draft paper, but the two of them still looked worried.
When Xiao Feiran saw Huang Yiyi arrive, he handed her the questions, saying, "You've come at the right time, take a look."
Huang Yiyi took it, looked at it seriously for three minutes, and then put it down, saying frankly, "I don't know how."
Xiao Feiran couldn't believe what she had just heard. "Weren't you studying for the postgraduate entrance exam in math? How come you can't even do high school level problems?"
Huang Yiyi replied, "I am learning, but I didn't understand it very well to begin with, and now that I haven't studied it for so long, I've forgotten it all."
Goodness, none of the three college students present could do it easily.
Cheng Ye was very confused and raised her own question, "Isn't your major supposed to involve studying advanced mathematics? How come everyone's math skills are so bad?"
The three people who were slandered but unable to refute it: "..."
Huang Yiyi put the question down. "Unfortunately, the only person in our dorm who knows the answer isn't here."
Just as Cheng Ye was about to give up and go to see the answer, Qi Yanche suddenly appeared.
He was holding two bags of salt in his hand. "I heard from Chen Yiyi that you were cooking something. We just happened to have some salt, and it was just sitting there anyway, so I brought it over for you to use."
Cheng Zhi thanked him and told him to leave it there.
He watched Cheng Zhi cooking quietly, and the three people in front of the coffee table also watched him quietly.
Qi Yanche found it hard not to notice their gazes. "Why are you all staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Xiao Feiran tilted her head and thought for a moment before asking, "Qi Yanche, I remember you're a bioengineering major, right?"
Why the sudden question about my major? Although puzzled, Qi Yanche still answered, "Yes, why?"
Huang Yiyi then asked, "So you must have been a science student in high school, right? You must have been really good at math, right?"
When Cheng Ye saw Qi Yanche's eyes, an alarm went off in her mind.
Before Qi Yanche could speak, Cheng Ye placed the question in front of him, "Brother Yan, can you help me figure out how to do this question?"
Qi Yanche took the test paper and looked at it for a while. Then he picked up a pen and paper and started writing. He wrote a whole page in a long and flowing style, with neat handwriting and very detailed steps.
Qi Yanche pointed to a few steps, "I don't know what you don't understand, so I wrote it out in more detail. You can take a look, and if there's anything you still don't understand, you can ask."
Cheng Ye looked at the paper once and knew where she had gone wrong. Although she didn't want to admit it, Qi Yanche was really amazing.
Xiao Feiran patted Qi Yanche's arm, "You're pretty good, you finished it so quickly."
Although Huang Yiyi next to him couldn't quite understand the content, she could clearly see his handwriting. "Do you practice calligraphy every day? How come your handwriting is so beautiful?"
At a time like this, who has the time to practice calligraphy? Qi Yanche was a little embarrassed by the praise.
Cheng Zhi, who was cooking the soup, finished cooking and turned off the heat, then came over to join in the fun.
After just one glance, Cheng Zhi didn't want to look anymore. "As expected, A-Shu and I will never understand each other in this lifetime. I can't understand a thing."
The problem was solved, and the soup was ready. The small electric cooker wasn't big enough; even if we made two pots, it wouldn't be enough for several people.
Even though Cheng Zhi had already prepared the drinks, Qi Yanche and Huang Yiyi were too embarrassed to drink them and ran straight back to their rooms.
Cheng Zhi's family ate a bowl of soup with steamed buns together.
Although there were no delicacies, everyone was content as long as they could drink something hot.
Five people held their bowls, eating while watching the raging snowstorm outside.
Not to mention these young people, even Cheng's parents had never seen such heavy snow.
After finishing his soup, Cheng's father joked, "If we didn't tell you, who would know this is Jiufeng Mountain? People would believe it if you said it was in the Arctic."
Cheng's mother held the bowl to warm her hands. "Zhizhi, this soup is really good! It's so warming. What did you put in it?"
Cheng Zhi smiled and said, "I added a little bit of black pepper."
