Chapter 217
Zhang Min was able to be admitted to the School of Mathematics, which is the top one among the four major insane asylums. Is she a stupid person? Of course not.
But reason is reason, and reality is reality.
The reality is that Zhang Min understands the reason, but she is just afraid. The lesson of the neighboring school is there. Although the incident at the neighboring school happened several years ago, the matter has not actually passed. The truth has long been found out. It was originally thought that the murderer of the poisoning would be punished and the murdered students would be given an explanation, but what was the final result given by the police chiefs in the government office? The statutory deadline had passed, and even though everyone knew what had happened, the matter was left unresolved. The murderer chose to study abroad and nothing happened to him. The victim's body was mutilated, his trachea was cut, and everything about his promising life was ruined.
She was just an ordinary student. Faced with such a result, and with a roommate from the School of Chemistry who was said to have 'poisoned' her dormitory coming into her dormitory, how could she not be afraid?
The previous experience of the Chemistry Department next door was there. When she looked at her roommates in the Chemistry Department, it was like a "poison king" who had a bad reputation and had harmed many people was suddenly assigned to sleep in the same big bunk bed in ancient times.
Even if she knew rationally that if it was true as the rumor said, that Xi Weilu had poisoned someone, and if this result came out inconclusively in the neighboring school, the students would collectively protest, and the tense relationship that was about to explode would be suppressed, Xi Weilu would not have the chance to stay in school and transfer to their dormitory. But what if?
More importantly, they are from the School of Mathematics. Why would a person from the School of Chemistry come into their dormitory?
Zhang Min was in tears.
She had a natural fear of people in her dormitory who were also from the chemical school.
She originally wanted to tell Jiang Ning that with Jiang Ning's influence in the school and the attention of the teachers and directors, if she mentioned it, maybe she could really get the new roommate to leave their dormitory. But she never expected that Jiang Ning would have this attitude and didn't care at all.
She asked with a frustrated look: "You really don't care at all?"
Jiang Ning said, "After all these years, this is the only vicious incident like this, right? Are you going to use the same approach to knock down everyone?"
Zhang Min curled her lips: "Aren't I afraid?"
She was timid and valued her life. The result of her carelessness would be just like the victim in the school next door. That would cost her life and lifelong health, and she couldn't afford the risk.
But Jiang Ning's attitude still made her relax a little. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, as long as she doesn't mess with me, I'm not someone you can mess with!"
Jiang Ning chuckled: "You also know that you are not someone who can be easily messed with?" Then he turned serious and said: "You have already told me about this, so forget it. Don't tell anyone else about it. Don't take hearsay seriously."
Zhang Min rolled her eyes, "Do you think everyone is you?" She lowered her voice and leaned close to her ear: "Everyone else in the dormitory already knew it!"
It's just that no one is as impatient as she is.
Liu Yan and Yu Qianqian, one has a soft personality and the other has a good temper. Although Shen Xinlan is a rich girl from Beijing, she is not the kind of person who bullies others. Her new roommate Xi Weilu doesn't talk. All day long, she is either studying outside, doing experiments in the laboratory, or lying on the bed reading silently. If you don't provoke her, she won't make trouble.
But she wouldn't take the initiative to look for Xi Weilu to play.
Everyone stayed away from her.
This state of keeping a distance actually made Xi Weilu feel relieved. She kept to herself every day and thought she was the first one to leave the dormitory and the last one to come back, but after a few days, she found out she was wrong.
Jiang Ning is always the first one to leave the dormitory, and she is also the last one to come back.
Jiang Ning gets up at six o'clock every morning to go jogging. After running, she goes directly to the cafeteria to have breakfast. When she comes back, almost everyone in the dormitory has gotten up one after another to brush their teeth and wash their faces, and go downstairs to have breakfast. After Jiang Ning and others have left, they will tidy up the dormitory, clean and mop the floor, and then mop the dormitory floor until it is shiny and bright, then leave for class, and come back at the time when the dormitory building closes in the evening.
In addition to being busy with classes and studying every day, Jiang Ning also has to go back to his rental house every day to type on the computer, and he has 10,000 words of writing to complete.
The serialized plot of "Jin Yi Wei" has come to an end again. This time it is really finished and I can't write anymore. The manuscript of "Star Mecha" has more than 300,000 words in stock, all of which have been sent to Wang Yong's mailbox. Now "The Years I Driving a Star Mecha" has begun to be serialized in "Wuxia" magazine.
In preparation for the serialization of this article, I had previously called for submissions of interstellar novels in the magazine "Wuxia" and serialized some of it. Although it was not very popular in the magazine, when Jiang Ning's new work "Interstellar Mecha" was published, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
You know, the first three works of Ning Meng all have some martial arts elements. Although "White Snake" is not a martial arts film, it also has the word "knight". What's more, Mr. Jin said, "The greatest knights serve their country and their people." The part in "White Snake" where the little white snake saves the world and turns into a dragon can also be said to be the greatest knight who "serves his country and his people."
But now this book "Star Mecha" has nothing to do with martial arts, it is a completely new subject. In this age when mobile phones have just appeared, the various electronic devices that appear in Jiang Ning's star novel have simply dried up the readers' brain cells, especially the computers in "Star" are not the brick computers they see in Internet cafes, but "light screens" that can be retracted and extended, and can be enlarged or reduced. There are also long-distance video, multi-person video conferencing, star network, 3D star network, and holographic mecha fighting arena.
What's even more exaggerated is that, from the dialogue between the characters, the mechas on the heroine's planet use 0.1-nanometer chip technology, which has been eliminated. It is said that the new mecha chips released by a certain mecha company have reached 0.01-nanometer optical chips.
To outsiders, these data are only viewed as the settings of this novel, but the readership of Ningmeng is really huge. The sales of "Wuxia" have already spread all over the country, and many college students majoring in related majors are also readers of "Wuxia" magazine. As a result, when the article "Star Mecha" came out, many people who have a little understanding of chip technology could not help but denounce "Ningmeng", saying that they don't understand "chip" technology at all!
As a result, the latest content appeared in the course of the mecha manufacturing department of the heroine's school: "Ancient Lithography Technology".
After reading the last part, anyone who has some knowledge about chips could not help but hold their chest in pain.
Because you are saying that 'Ning Meng' is a complete layman, right? The science and technology she wrote was extremely professional, with all kinds of professional terms, and you could tell at a glance that she was not writing nonsense.
But do you think she understands? Have 0.1 nanometer chips been eliminated in the interstellar era?
Huh? Interstellar Age? That was thousands of years later, right?
Thousands of years later, it doesn’t seem so hard to accept that chip technology upgraded to 0.1 nanometers is still considered outdated.
Didn’t you read in the book that chips have been replaced by newer, more advanced optical chips?
However, after reading this article, ordinary readers were completely captivated by the grand interstellar era unfolded by Ning Meng's pen.
Their country's first manned spacecraft has not yet landed on the moon, but the spacecraft she described can already achieve space jumps through black holes.
Xi Weilu would meet Jiang Ning when she came back every night.
Every time Jiang Ning saw her, he would greet her with a smile, and then the two of them would carry the water bottle back to the dormitory together.
When Zhang Min, Liu Yan and others in the dormitory saw this, they thought they had made an appointment. Jiang Ning had become friends with the new roommate without them knowing it.
Also, because everyone saw that she had a good relationship with Jiang Ning, her roommates in 401 dormitory, who had originally been somewhat repulsed by her and didn't pay much attention to her, quickly accepted her.
When we are chatting, I will sometimes bring up the topic with her and share what I eat with her.
She was stunned and had no idea what was going on. Why did the people in the dormitory suddenly seem to be less repulsive to her?
She was used to keeping silent and didn't ask.
Everyone is studying hard at the end of the semester, and there are still many people reading and studying in the corridors at night.
Xi Weilu is like a little animal hiding in the darkness, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
She found that Jiang Ning always went to bed directly when the lights were turned off and never stayed up late to read or study.
Zhang Min and the others lost a few strands of their hair because of the review every day. Seeing that Jiang Ning went to bed on time at 10 o'clock every night, she didn't come to the classroom to attend the freshman classes during the day, and she didn't see her reviewing the freshman courses in the dormitory. She couldn't help but shout: "Jiang Ning, the exam is coming soon, you don't review the freshman courses at all?"
Jiang Ning, who had already laid down with his eyes closed, heard his voice from the mosquito net: "Didn't I tell you that I finished studying last year? This year, I just need to take the exam and complete the credits."
Liu Yan couldn't help but ask: "Are you also taking the exam in your sophomore year?"
Jiang Ning said: "If there is no conflict in schedule, we can take the exam together."
Everyone in the dormitory was silent. Even Xi Weilu couldn't help but glance at the bed across the street in surprise, then lowered her head to read silently.
Everyone was busy with their own things and no one had time to do anything else, whether it was bullying her or ostracizing her.
In such a pure learning atmosphere, Xi Weilu stayed quietly in Dormitory 401. No one thought it was strange that she was not in the dormitory because she went out early and came back late. No one thought that she was a gloomy weirdo who kept reading books all day without talking. The people in Dormitory 401 had long been accustomed to things like Jiang Ning who did not attend classes with them, but took sophomore and junior classes on her own. They were very accepting of the fact that there was another person in the dormitory who was as elusive as Jiang Ning. Besides, they were not from the same college, had different class times and locations, so wasn't it normal not to see each other?
Besides, it’s the end of the semester and they are really busy.
Especially their mathematics department.
The School of Mathematics can be said to be a place where geniuses gather. Not to mention Jiang Ning, who started learning sophomore and junior courses in their dormitory as a freshman, one-third of the students in their school are competition students, one-third are special admissions students, and among the remaining one-third, there are provincial top scorers, runner-up, and third-place winners.
People like them are neither provincial top scorers, nor special recruits, nor competition students. They are already at the bottom of their college. They need to spend more time and effort to keep up with these courses, not to mention the elective courses they have to take.
This is their first semester at Kyoto University. With a paper king in their dormitory, they still retain the enthusiasm for study that they had in their three years of high school. The entire final period is filled with a frenzy of study. How can they have the mood or time to engage in any exclusion or small groups?
Every day I am either running on the way to class or running to the library to grab a study seat.
Everyone was reviewing, everyone was preparing for the final exams, everyone was reading, everyone was studying, and no one was paying attention to Xi Weilu.
Everyone gets along without interfering with each other.
Including Jiang Ning, who showed her kindness when they returned to the dormitory on the first day.
Except when they met at the dormitory door at night, she would greet her with a smile, and the two of them would be together, but at other times they were busy with their own things.
This gave her tense nerves a little respite, and in such an environment where no one paid attention to her and there was no sense of oppression, she slept soundly for the first time.
Exam week soon arrived, starting with exams for elective courses and general elective courses, and other courses were scheduled from the 19th to the 31st.
There are two days of rest in between, and these two days happen to be the 100th anniversary of Kyoto University.
Peking University has two anniversary dates. One is the May 4th anniversary, which is the same day as the May 4th Youth Day. This day has been celebrated grandly. Many Peking University students return to Peking University from all over the country just to participate in Peking University’s centenary celebration. The other is December 17th, the anniversary day of the old Peking University.
The anniversary of the old Peking University happens to fall on the exam week at the end of the year, so it is not appropriate to hold large-scale anniversary activities. But after all, it is a school anniversary, and the school has arranged some activities to give students who are busy with their final exams a chance to breathe, as exams will follow.
Jiang Ning and her friends had a holiday on January 2nd, and Jiang Bai's birthday was on December 27th. It would definitely be too late for her to rush back, and there was no need to rush back for his birthday. She just sent him a gift a week in advance.
She is on exam week. Isn't Jiang Bai also on exam week? He was also given special care by his mentor, a senior engineer who had retired and was rehired by Shanghai University of Technology. He was also so busy that he hardly even remembered birthdays.
In the Jiang family, who remembers whose birthday? No one has the habit of celebrating birthdays, and Jiang Bai himself doesn’t even remember his own birthday.
When he finished his exams, in the cold winter night, he returned to the house behind his shop, which Jiang Ning had bought. When he opened the door, he was greeted by not only the heating in the room, but also a cheer: "Happy birthday! (^o^)/~"
Then a group of young men and women rushed out and turned on the lights.
Not only Tong Jingang and Grandpa Jiang are at home, but also Jiang Bai’s roommates and Xu Xiuli’s roommates in the dormitory.
When Xu Xiuli's roommates were invited to Jiang Bai's birthday party, they were so surprised that they almost screamed out loud.
Although Jiang Bai is low-key, he is very popular. Every day when he walks on campus, there are people who can't help but look back at him, and some of them bump into other people, some bump into trees, and some bump into flower beds without looking at the road.
Since the TV series "The King's Guards" was broadcast, the most popular character is Jiang Bai. The fourth male cult leader is also handsome, but people of this era cannot appreciate his evil and crazy handsomeness. They prefer Jiang Bai's clean and pure temperament and handsome appearance with a youthful look.
Especially when his pair of innocent eyes look at you, it makes people unable to help but feel love for him and want to pull him into their arms to protect him.
When you smile, it's like a layer of light is all over your body. When I look at you without smiling, I feel inexplicably melancholy.
In the evening, they each took out their best clothes and dressed each other up.
Xu Xiuli also contributed her lipstick.
This was a brand new set of skin care products and cosmetics that her parents bought for her during her summer job. However, because so many people in the crew used their own cosmetics, she, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, felt itchy all over her body after using them, so she used her own.
Many girls in her dormitory were wearing lipstick for the first time. They didn’t know how to apply it, so they painted their lips bright red and asked each other if they looked good.
Jiang Bai’s roommate was invited by Tong Jingang.
Tong Jingang often came to Shanghai University of Science and Technology. He was a social elite. Before Jiang Bai and his roommates knew each other well, Tong Jingang had already become familiar with them and treated each of them as his brother. When they heard Tong Jingang invite them to Jiang Bo's birthday party, they all excitedly expressed their desire to attend.
Birthday party? It sounds so fashionable. They have never attended any birthday party before. After receiving the invitation, they all took out their most fashionable and good-looking clothes, and combed their hair into a smooth and shiny way so that a fly could break its legs if it flew on it.
He was majoring in physical education and was not so busy during exam week, so he only invited two of his roommates to come over. But all of Jiang Bai's roommates had to come, as it was more lively and fun with more people. So, these boys and girls he invited secretly prepared a surprise birthday party for Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai took a long time to react. It took him three seconds to realize that today was his birthday.
"Surprised? Unexpected?" Tong Jingang recited the lines from Stephen Chow's movie with great excitement. This is a comedy movie that was just released this year. It was a big hit at the box office as soon as it was released. It has also spread to the mainland. The discs of this movie can be rented in many video theaters.
Jiang Bai couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, with a restrained smile on his face, his eyes sparkling, and asked them: "How did you know that today is my birthday?"
Everyone said at once: "It was King Kong. King Kong said that today is your birthday and he wants to give you a surprise. We have been discussing how to surprise you for several days. How is it? Is it a big surprise?"
Tong Jingang said: "It was my sister who called to ask about your birthday, and I just knew that your birthday was coming soon. If my sister hadn't been unable to come back due to the exam, she would definitely come to celebrate your birthday! However, it's the same for us to give you a surprise!"
Tong Jingang had never held a birthday party for anyone and given others such a surprise. This was also a rare experience for him.
He really enjoyed giving to others, and seeing others' surprised expressions made him happy and felt that all his preparations and hard work were worth it.
Jiang Bai looked at the balloons and sparkling colorful balls on the wall, as well as the decoration of the living room. He was so happy and tongue-tied that he couldn't say a word. Under the colorful lights, his eyes were as bright as stars. His way of expressing his gratitude was to find an apron and said, "I'll go cook for you!"
He wants to prepare a big table of delicious food for everyone.
Tong Jingang hurriedly pushed him onto the sofa: "My big birthday boy, today is your birthday boy, just stay here, you don't have to worry about anything!"
Several girls from Xu Xiuli's dormitory and two boys from Jiang Bai's dormitory cooked a large table of dishes together.
Jiang Bai couldn't sit still in the living room. He felt embarrassed and uncomfortable to let others do so much for him while he just sat there and did nothing. He always had to get up and go to the kitchen to ask if he needed help. "Let me do this."
He finally got to work, put on an apron and went to the kitchen, cooking every dish that was delicious.
He didn't know that he was so focused on cooking, often smiling, and listening to the people around him gently and attentively. Although he didn't say much, he seemed to respond to everything. This made the girls helping in the kitchen's heartbeats quicken again. They looked at each other and cried out in their hearts.
The ingredients were all prepared by Tong Jingang. Compared with these students, Tong Jingang, who had been a bit player for several years and had also played some roles with lines, could still afford the money for a birthday party. The raw materials for tonight's meal were all brought by him and his two roommates. At this time, several boys were already playing "throwing eggs" in the living room.
Jiang Bai occasionally looked back, through the glass door of the kitchen, and saw the bustling living room outside. He was a little bit unbelieving. This was his birthday party. He had never dreamed of such a scene.
Once upon a time, he also envied his eldest brother's birthday, when the whole family prepared a birthday party for him and entertained his good brothers.
Such a lively scene.
It was hot and noisy, but his heart was happy and peaceful.
As the dishes were served on the rectangular dining table, the boys and girls who were playing wrestling could no longer sit still and ran to the table one by one: "Wow! I didn't expect you to be so quiet but have such a talent. If I had known you were such a good cook, I would have come to your place for a meal!"
The person who spoke was Jiang Bai's roommate.
Jiang Bai was very silent and aloof, and was the favorite student of the professor in their school. He also became very famous after starring in several movies. After class every day, he was either with various machines, or went to his store to buy clothes, or fiddled with his experimental products. He seldom went back to the dormitory. However, everyone in the dormitory thought that he was difficult to get along with and very aloof, and they were not very familiar with him.
It’s like, the other five people in the dormitory have a group, and he has his own group.
But after meeting him today, I found that this guy is not aloof at all. He is just a man of few words. When they praised him, he smiled shyly and asked them to eat more. "Then next time you come, I'll cook if I'm free!"
"It's a deal then. You guys won't be polite!" The people in his dormitory were all impressed by the delicious food prepared by Jiang Bai.
These students who usually ate in the cafeteria had not seen so many delicious foods and wines for a long time. Taking advantage of Jiang Bai's birthday party, they all ate to their heart's content. When it came to the cake-eating session, Tong Jingang was particularly naughty and smeared cream on Jiang Bai's face, then laughed at the cream on his face.
The others laughed too.
Jiang Bai also laughed.
However, they were not willing to throw this hard-earned cream cake on their classmates' faces. The boys and girls pooled their money to buy a big cake big enough for so many of them to share. Everyone got a small piece and ate the delicious and sweet cake in their hands happily and contentedly.
Of course, another very important point is that this is Jiang Ning's house, a new house that has only been renovated for half a year. If they dare to smash the cake and smear the cream on Jiang Ning's new house, he is afraid that Jiang Bai will break his legs.
Fortunately, Jiang Ning's house is big enough, otherwise it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.
Because the final exams were not over yet, the school dormitories had access control, so after eating, playing and having fun, they all left before nine o'clock.
Before leaving, Xu Xiuli took out two gifts that she had prepared long ago and gave them to Jiang Bai: "Here, this is Ningning's birthday present for you."
She handed the two gifts to Jiang Bai, then left happily with her roommates.
Her roommates even teased her, asking if she liked Jiang Bai, and she even prepared a gift for him without their knowledge.
Angry Xu Xiuli chased them and beat them up: "Don't talk nonsense, it was a gift sent to him by his sister, and she asked me to pass it on!"
"The gift his sister sent was not sent directly to him, but asked you to pass it on?"
Xu Xiuli snorted complacently: "What do you know? His sister and I are not only classmates, but also roommates in the same dormitory. I am her best friend. Who else can she ask me to pass it on to?"
Her roommates also laughed and said, "So there is another good sister."
"It's just right that you are my aunts!"
Xu Xiuli was so angry that she stamped her feet in shame and annoyance: "I won't pay attention to you if you say anything else!"
There are so many people in school who like Jiang Bai, but Jiang Bai is a wooden stake who has not yet opened his mind, a straight man. Many girls have flirted with him, but he couldn't understand the subtle ones. He was even shyer than the ones who understood. The bolder ones mustered up the courage to stuff their love letters into his hands, but he had too many of them. He didn't read any of them and stuffed them all into a cardboard box under his bed, which was full of letters from his "fans".
Every day he was forced by his teacher to work in the laboratory with various machines, so he had no time to read letters.
As for the birthday gift Xu Xiuli gave to Jiang Bai, she knew his birthday and also came to his birthday party, so it would be bad for her not to prepare a gift, right? I just prepared one for him. It wasn't something particularly expensive, just a woolen hat from a boutique outside.
Because she found that Jiang Bai liked to keep a buzz cut, and when his hair grew a little longer, he would cut it short again after a while. It was cold in winter, so she thought of giving him a hat.
Jiang Ning, on the other hand, gave Jiang Bo a mechanical watch. It was not a famous brand or expensive watch, but just an ordinary mechanical watch that did not require battery replacement and could continue to rotate by winding the spring every day.
Jiang Bai liked this watch very much, and he put it on his wrist without hesitation. He looked at it left and right, as if he couldn't see enough. He couldn't help but ran to Tong Jingang, stretched out his wrist, and shook the brand new silver watch on his wrist. His face, which always smiled subtly, smiled for the first time, his eyes curved, his teeth exposed, and the corners of his lips stretched to the roots behind his ears:
"Look, this is my birthday present from my sister!"
I tried to control myself again and again, but I still couldn't help saying the words "birthday present" a little louder.
