Chapter 115 Change your clothes and follow me!
Shen Ci smiled bitterly, because this new roommate named Pili did not seem easy to get along with.
At least from the first meeting, it seemed much more unfamiliar and indifferent than the first time she met Gu Lianxing.
But when they turned around, they found that the dormitory, which was empty during the National Day holiday, was spotless, and even their desks had traces of being wiped.
Normally, they would hire someone from the "school cleaning group" to clean the dormitory, but today it was obviously done by the new roommate.
Before the two could express their shock, Jin Pili had already returned and suddenly said from the doorway, "I removed the lock on the door. If you need compensation, you can give me the bill, or I can buy a new lock. I moved in yesterday afternoon, and the teacher only gave me the key to the mechanical lock. I didn't know you added an extra lock."
"It doesn't matter. Since you can remove it, it proves that the lock is useless." Shen Ci said.
Gu Lianxing nodded, and then heard Jin Pili say, "I wiped the table for you without your consent. If you mind, I'll pay more attention next time."
"No problem, no problem. We were planning to find someone from the school cleaning group to do the cleaning, but we didn't expect you to clean the dormitory so cleanly by yourself. Thank you for your hard work."
As if frightened by Jin Pili's decisive and strong character, Gu Lianxing spoke cautiously, which was unusual for her.
Then she quickly said, "We usually pay someone to clean the house. Since you did all this, we'll pay you. We can't let you work so hard for nothing."
Chen Ci could tell that although Gu Lianxing's words were sincere, there was still some politeness in them.
But Jin Pili was not polite at all: "Okay, I will take care of the sanitation of the dormitory from now on. You just need to pay me according to the price of hiring a cleaner."
Such a straightforward and open character really confused Gu Lianxing, who was used to hypocrisy in the upper class society.
Just agreed so readily?
Chen Ci didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, there were three people living in the dormitory now. If they continued to hire a cleaner outside to clean, wouldn't the three of them have to take turns paying for it? Would Jin Pili be willing?
Therefore, internal affairs should be discussed and resolved with the three of them as the center. If Jin Pili is willing to make this money, Chen Ci has no objection.
The two exchanged WeChat accounts with Jin Pili, and Gu Lianxing transferred the money for this cleaning to her, two cents.
"Do you want to create a group?" Gu Lianxing asked tentatively, subconsciously looking at Jin Pili's reaction.
She thinks it is more convenient to have a group of three people to communicate in the group.
Shen Ci also looked at Jin Pili. Obviously, both of them felt that the attitude of the new roommate was more important.
Jin Pili was using an old, badly worn-out cell phone. The screen was cracked but she hadn't replaced it, but she held it in her hand so openly without feeling inferior at all.
He looked at the two of them with a frank expression and said, "You can create a group, but I probably won't speak in it. Judging from your clothes and expenses, you two must be from wealthy families. I'm quite short of money, so if you have any dormitory activities or want to buy something, order takeout milk tea, etc., don't ask me."
"I might make you feel a little uncomfortable, but I have no hatred for the rich, and this isn't targeting you. I'm just objectively telling you that my financial situation isn't enough for me to be with you. Rather than rejecting you repeatedly, it's better to be clear all at once. This way, I'll appear more polite. I also hope you can treat me with the same courtesy and respect."
Jin Pili suddenly said so many words, which seemed inexplicable, but in fact, she had a sense of defensiveness that she herself was not aware of.
Subconsciously, she had no intention of becoming friends with her two new roommates. She felt that she was not the same type of person as them and hoped that they could not interfere with each other in the future.
With such a strong sense of boundaries, Shen Ci had reason to suspect that the reason she changed dormitories might be because she was not sociable.
Gu Lianxing is also a straightforward person, but she moved her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Chen Ci was not in a hurry to express her opinion. If this was the way Jin Pili wanted to get along, she was willing to respect it, but she didn't know how long this model could last.
Based on my understanding of Gu Lianxing, she is currently in shock because of Jin Pili's fresh personality and way of doing things, but once she comes to her senses, she will definitely not be able to bear it.
The result was just as Shen Ci had expected. On the first day alone, Gu Lianxing was already extremely annoyed when she saw someone coming in and out of the dormitory without saying a word to them.
She always felt like there was an "outsider" in the dormitory, which made her feel particularly uncomfortable. Even when talking to Shen Ci, she subconsciously lowered her voice. The scene of the two of them talking freely and laughing in the dormitory in the past might no longer exist.
"Why am I feeling so bad?"
Taking advantage of Jin Pili's absence, Gu Lianxing began pacing back and forth in the dormitory, saying impatiently, "I was quite happy at first, thinking that my new roommate was tall and pretty, and not the same type as us. It would make HKUST's most beautiful dormitory even better, right? Adding another beautiful woman to the mix, but I didn't expect her to have such a personality."
Shen Ci looked at her with a smile and said, "I knew you wouldn't be able to bear it."
"Can you handle this? We'll both have to wear headphones when watching TV series from now on!"
"I'm okay for now," Shen Ci said truthfully.
Gu Lianxing shook her head: "No, I'm going to explode on this first day. I have to... I have to talk to her."
As he was speaking, Jin Pili came back again, still returning to his seat without saying a word, then took out a leather bag similar to a gym bag and started putting things into it.
After everything was ready, she put on her bag, changed into a pair of sneakers, tied the laces tightly, stood up and went out again.
Gu Lianxing suddenly stepped forward and blocked Jin Pili's way: "Pili, I think we still need to talk."
Jin Pili didn't look unhappy. He just raised his wrist to check the time on his sports watch and nodded. "Okay, I have an extra ten minutes. What do you want to talk about?"
"I don't think you can handle your relationship with your roommate like this. We're going to be living together day and night for two to three years." Gu Lianxing was no longer as cautious as she had been at the beginning, and directly expressed her thoughts: "Shen Ci and I just became new roommates over a month ago, but we've become good friends who can talk about anything. We hope you can also try to be friends with us, or at least don't cut off the possibility of this relationship right from the start. We still don't know each other well."
Chen Ci also stepped forward, and for the sake of Gu Lianxing's feelings, she also said to Jin Pili: "We can see that you have a straightforward personality. In fact, we are also. As long as we are honest with each other, I think we can become friends. Just like Lianxing said, we should understand everything before drawing conclusions, right?"
Jin Pili seemed to have not expected that the two people would say these words to her, especially Gu Lianxing, whose simplicity and sincerity were very contagious.
Jin Pili looked at the two of them expressionlessly, then nodded gently. "You want to get to know me, right? Okay, both of you change your clothes and follow me!"
