Chapter 418 New Roommate
"That works too! By the way, what were you guys talking about just now? What do you want to ask me?" Lian Xin looked at Du Kai.
Du Kai nodded: "Junior, you want to live off-campus, but you know the school's rules. I remember you've always lived off-campus, so I wanted to ask you how you managed to do it."
Lian Xin blinked: "You've come to the right person to ask me about this! Come, come, sit down and let's talk!" As he spoke, he took two plastic stools from Du Kai.
Gu Yin sat down and looked at him.
Lian Xin whispered, "Back then, I lived in the dorm like everyone else. After getting to know my roommates, I treated them and the class monitor to two meals. Then I went home to stay at night. If the dorm aunt didn't check the rooms, everything was fine. If she did check, I would say I had taken leave. But I couldn't keep taking leave, so I would usually wait until it was almost time to turn off the lights and wait for the dorm aunt to finish checking before leaving. This isn't suitable for you. I think you should try to build a good relationship with the dorm aunt so it will be easier for you to go out later. Going home on weekends is no problem; the school doesn't care. You can take leave on Monday and Thursday. For Tuesday and Wednesday, it depends on how good your relationship with the dorm aunt is. On Friday, have your parents call the teacher. It's very normal for families like ours to have special days, such as attending a party, learning something, or having a family dinner. It's very normal. For a large family like yours, such special days are even more normal!"
Gu Yin scratched her head: "Too much trouble, never mind, I'll talk about it later."
It's too much trouble to please the aunt, the roommate, and the class committee. Gu Yin isn't the smooth-talking type. It's easier to just give her money than to ask her to please others!
Du Kai also disagreed: "Lights out at 11 p.m. It's too late to leave if you wait until then, it's not safe! Let's forget about it, this method is not suitable for Gu Yin, let's wait for news from your advisor."
Lian Xin waved his hand: "Then you can only have your family come over and say that you are not feeling well and that it is safer to stay at home. Just get a certificate from the hospital. If you don't have anyone, I can recommend someone for you."
Du Kai hurriedly refused: "That's even more unacceptable! Gu Yin is currently under Professor Cheng's supervision. If she's not in good health and can't even live at the school, it means she's even less capable of handling the high-intensity work in the lab. Gu Yin will be abandoned then, no way!"
"Then there's nothing we can do but wait for the application to be submitted."
Gu Yin sighed: "Fine, I'll stay in the dormitory then. It'll only be for a year."
"Living in the dormitory is actually not bad. It's a four-person room, and everyone is a classmate. There's a lot to talk about with people your own age. It's pretty good. Why do you insist on living at home?" Lian Xin asked, puzzled.
Gu Yin waved her hand: "If I were to stay in the dormitory, my family would have lunch and dinner delivered to me. I don't want to trouble them with that."
Lian Xin: "...The school food isn't that bad."
Du Kai understood: "Our department has a lot of experiments, and for someone like Gu Yin who has already entered Professor Cheng's lab, it goes without saying that when things get busy, it's common to work through the night, let alone eat! It's normal for her family to worry. If she goes home to live, her family can improve her diet."
Lian Xin shook his head: "People who do academic work are all like this!" He then gave a thumbs up.
Gu Yin glanced at the time and stood up: "Never mind, let's get a bed first. If the application is approved later, we can return it. My brother is registering over there, so I'll go over there first. We'll talk later."
"OK!"
"no problem!"
When Gu Yin returned to the Finance Department, Gu Shu had already finished his work.
"Let's go get the keys first, then check out the dorm."
While Gu Shu was getting the key, Gu Yin also asked the logistics teacher for the key.
The male and female dormitories are very close to each other. There are 8 dormitories for girls, each with 8 floors, and the same number for boys. A five-meter-wide school road separates the male and female dormitory buildings.
Since Gu Yin didn't bring any luggage, everyone went to Gu Shu's dormitory first.
The freshmen dormitories are in the last two buildings. Gu Shu lives on the second floor. Although there is an elevator, there are many people registering today, and the elevator is crowded.
"Luckily it's on the second floor, I can take the stairs! 204, this is the one!"
The door was open, and three people were already inside. Only Gu Shu was missing from the dormitory.
"Hi everyone! My name is Gu Shu! I'm also in this dorm! You've all settled in? You're all here way too early!"
Upon seeing so many people arrive, the three boys quickly stood up. One of them smiled and said, "Hello, Gu Shu. We arrived yesterday. Since we live in another city, we came a little early. Your bed is the top bunk at the very back, and I'm your bottom bunkmate. My name is Li Jianjun! Hello, uncles, aunts, and sisters!"
"My name is Zhang Tao. Hello, uncles, aunts, and sisters!"
"My name is Lu Shuang. Hello, uncles, aunts, and sisters!"
Gu Qingming brought in his luggage and greeted the three of them.
Li Jianjun was a good man; after greeting them, he poured water for the four of them.
After Gu Shu finished making the bed and tidying up his luggage, he had already become sworn brothers with the three of them.
"We'll talk when I get back. I need to take my sister to the girls' dormitory to tidy up!"
Li Jianjun and the other two were surprised: "Your sister is from our school too?! I thought she was a high school student! She looks so young!"
Gu Shu said proudly, "My sister skipped grades! She skipped grades in both junior high and high school! And this time she was the top scorer in the national college entrance examination!"
The three of them looked at Gu Yin with shining eyes. If it weren't for the presence of adults, they would have immediately recognized Gu Yin as their younger sister!
Li Xiang patted Gu Shu on the shoulder: "It's getting late. Your sister still needs to buy a quilt. Hurry up and stop showing off! Let's go! You young people can chat later!"
After saying goodbye to the three, Gu Shu grimaced and covered the back of his head as he went downstairs.
Gu Yin's dormitory is also in Building 8, but it's the girls' Building 8. The first floor of the girls' Building 6 is a large supermarket with everything in it.
After buying bedding, toiletries, slippers, buckets, and other items, the four headed towards Building 8.
Coincidentally, Gu Yin also lives on the second floor, specifically in the first room after turning the corner at the top of the stairs, room 201.
People came in as well, including parents. Gu Yin knocked on the door, and when they looked over, she went inside.
"Hello, I'm Gu Yin."
"Your name is Gu Yin? Your bed is the one by the door. I just saw your name!" The simply dressed girl pointed to the bed by the door and said with a shy smile.
Gu Yin turned her head and indeed saw her name.
The dormitory layout here is different from Gu Shu's. Gu Shu's room has bunk beds and four cabinets near the door, along with a desk and wardrobe. The girls' room has a bed on the top bunk and a desk and wardrobe on the bottom bunk. Gu Yin prefers the girls' room because it's more convenient.
"Thank you. What are your names?"
Two girls have come into the room. The one sitting at the desk is being made up by her mother and father. When they saw that someone had come, the three of them just smiled and then fell silent, their expressions somewhat haughty.
The other person seemed unable to sleep on the wooden bed, which was covered with a thick quilt, and then a mat was laid on top of the quilt. Her mother and father were setting up a mosquito net for her.
The shy girl seemed to have come alone. Her bed was opposite Gu Yin's, behind the door. Her bed was already made up. When Gu Yin came in, the girl was tidying up the things on the table.
The shy girl smiled and said, "My name is Yu Lulu."
The girl inside muttered, "Liang Yulian," and then fell silent.
