Chapter 195

Jiang Xi did not go back to school that night. She went to the dormitory at noon the next day with the dried bed sheets.

Students were not allowed to live outside the school in their first year. They had to live in the school dormitories.

Her dormitory this time was on the fourth floor, Room 401. There were six people in the dormitory.

Unlike the students in No. 1 Middle School who were inspired by her, the students in Beijing University were all spontaneous. When Jiang Xi returned to the dormitory, the girls in the dormitory were either reading or writing something with pens at the small square table.

Seeing Jiang Xi coming back, the round-faced girl who was reading on the small square table in front of the window looked up from her book and greeted Jiang Xi with a gentle smile: "Are you back?"

"Yes." Jiang Xi smiled and nodded, climbed up to the upper bed, opened the mosquito net, and spread out the sheets that he had washed and dried yesterday.

The round-faced girl Liu Yan walked to Jiang Xi's bed, looked up at Jiang Xi who was making the bed, and asked with a smile: "Huh? Have you washed your sheets?"

The sheets issued by the school were blue plaid, and the color was very bright. They faded a little after washing for the first time. They just came to school yesterday, and spread out the new sheets and quilts as soon as they got them. They haven't been washed yet, so they are brand new. It is very obvious when they are placed side by side with Jiang Xi's washed and faded sheets.

"Huh? The bed sheet is fading?" The girl with a round face and bright hair is called Liu Yan. I don't know if it's because she has been tying her hair back tightly for a long time, but her hairline is a bit high, her forehead is round, and her face is also round. She is about 1.71 meters tall and weighs about 130 to 140 kilograms. She is not strong, just a little chubby, but she looks very kind and her temperament is a bit like Jiang Xi's aunt. Her eyebrows and eyes are gentle, which makes people feel close to her.

She just arrived in Beijing yesterday. After registering, she received the things. She thought they were new items issued by the school. In addition, she couldn't wash the sheets in the afternoon, so she didn't think about washing them. After seeing Jiang Xi's washed and dried sheets, she realized that the new sheets were actually a little faded. She returned to her bed, lifted the cool mat, and touched her own blue checkered sheets.

The bed sheets were pure cotton and would not fade if touched, but after giving it some thought, she still lifted the reclining mat, took off the sheets and quilt covers underneath, and took them to the bathroom to wash.

Seeing the girl lying on the bunk below her, she asked casually, "Qianqian, do you want to wash them together?"

The girls in the dormitory had never thought of washing the new sheets before. When they saw Liu Yan washing the sheets, Yu Qianqian stood up immediately when her name was called, "Yes, wait for me a moment." After saying that, she immediately packed up her own sheets to wash. Before leaving, she called out to Zhang Min who was on the bunk opposite Jiang Liu, "Zhang Min, aren't you going to wash them?" Zhang

Min was reading a book. When she heard this, she looked up and said, "I can't. These are new sheets, and there's a cool mat between them. No one has slept on them. Why should I wash them?"

The two girls from Beijing had not thought about washing the sheets at first, but when they saw them all washing them, they hesitated, put down their books, and got up to wash the sheets.

There was a washing machine in the bathroom, which was only installed in the past two years and was very new. The girl from Beijing put her quilt cover and sheets into the washing machine and asked the others, "Do you want to wash them in the washing machine?"

Liu Yan had already wet the sheets and was washing them, so she shook her head and said, "Thank you, but no, new sheets don't need to be washed much, just rinse them with water."

The girl with a round face and a pointed chin, who was also from Beijing, handed over her quilt cover and sheets and said with a smile, "I want them."

She had never done housework at home and didn't know how to wash in the washing machine. When the girl in suspenders asked her, she naturally put the sheets in as well, and then watched the girl in suspenders operate the washing machine with curiosity.

The suspender girl's name is Cui Yujie. She is called the suspender girl because she is wearing a very tight suspender with a small cardigan on the outside. The cardigan is not buttoned, revealing the tightly wrapped suspenders inside. The first impression she gives is that she is thin and frail.

They just met, and although they introduced themselves by their names, no one can remember them except those with easy-to-remember names, so they can only refer to them by their characteristics in their hearts.

Cui Yujie, the girl in suspenders, saw the girl with white skin and dimples staring at her, and asked her with a smile: "What are you looking at?"

The girl with white skin and dimples smiled sweetly and said: "I'm looking at how to use the washing machine, so I can learn it next time."

Cui Yujie exclaimed: "No way? You haven't used a washing machine

before, have you? Don't you have a washing machine at home?" The girl with white skin and dimples still smiled sweetly and said: "There is a washing machine, but I haven't used it. I was planning to take the clothes home to wash in a week. Now I have a washing machine, and I can wash them myself in the future."

She studied the buttons on it and smiled and said: "It doesn't look difficult."

"Yes, it's very simple. I don't wash clothes at home. My mother washes them. I can do it just by watching." She pressed the switch and turned it to the washing position. "You see, it's very simple."

The white-skinned girl with dimples nodded in agreement, as if she had learned it. "It's very simple."

While they were talking, Yu Qianqian had been listening with her ears tilted up. She had never used a washing machine and didn't want to reveal that she didn't know how to use it, so she wanted to learn it quietly.

Liu Yan turned around and watched generously, her hands moving non-stop.

Cui Yujie saw her curious and inquiring eyes and taught them, "It's very simple. Look, this is the switch button. Press the switch and turn the wash button. Isn't it very simple?"

Yu Qianqian nodded a little embarrassedly.

Cui Yujie said: "Don't be embarrassed. Next time if you have any questions, you can ask me directly and I will teach you."

After Cui Yujie and the white-skinned girl with dimples returned to the dormitory, Yu Qianqian came over to look at the meaning of the words around the buttons on the washing machine. In fact, they were very easy to recognize. They learned it at a glance. They thought about trying the washing machine themselves next time. This way, they don't have to wash clothes by hand every time, and can save time to read and study.

Her family lived in the suburbs, and she had never used a washing machine. When Cui Yujie and the others were talking, she had been listening with her ears tilted up, but she was too embarrassed to ask. After they left, she came over to take a look and asked Liu Yan: "Liu Yan, do you know how to use a washing machine?"

Liu Yan had just seen Cui Yujie operate it once and had learned it. While washing the sheets, she said: "I have never used it, but it looks very simple. I should be able to learn it after watching it."

It really looks very simple. Yu Qianqian thought.

She wanted to throw her own sheets and quilt covers into another washing machine to try, but she was afraid that she would damage the washing machine on her first try. After thinking about it, she went back to the sink, wrung out her own sheets and quilt covers, and took them back to the dormitory with Liu Yan. When she went back, she was still looking back at the washing machine.

There is a long corridor on the west side of the dormitory where clothes can be hung to dry. Due to the orientation, there is no sunlight in the morning. Only in the afternoon can sunlight shine in through the large sliding glass windows. At this moment, there are many clothes hung in the corridor that they took off after taking a bath last night.

Last night, Yu Qianqian hung her underwear and pants here. When Cui Yujie saw it, she immediately got angry and scolded, "Who hung underwear here? How can I get out of here?" She even said something more nasty, but she didn't scold me on the first day of school.

Yu Qianqian didn't say that they were her own clothes and pants. When Cui Yujie went to take a shower, she took off her underwear and quietly hung them on the telescopic rod facing southeast.

Many girls hang their underwear and trousers in the corridor to dry. After hearing people scold them, some girls realized that underwear and trousers are supposed to be hung on the telescopic rod facing southeast in the dormitory. This not only avoids the problem of others walking under your pants and underwear, but also makes it more hygienic to wear underwear and trousers exposed to the sun.

Liu Yan likes bed sheets and quilt covers. She takes them to the dormitory and stretches her head to look down.

Although they don't have a balcony, there is a telescopic rod outside the window.

Before hanging the sheets to dry, Liu Yan looked downstairs and saw that there were no sheets, only clothes hanging to dry. She shouted, "Classmates downstairs, classmates downstairs!"

The person who was reading in front of the window downstairs heard someone shouting, so he stuck his head out of the window in confusion and looked up to ask what was going on.

Liu Yan smiled embarrassedly and said, "I washed the sheets and they are dripping. I am afraid that they will get your clothes wet. Can you retract your clothes-drying pole a little? I will extend it a little so that your clothes will not get wet. Can you help me call the students on the second floor?"

There is no retractable clothes-drying pole on the first floor. A rope is tied to a small tree beside the flowerbed under the dormitory. Clothes and sheets are hung on the rope, so they are not afraid of dripping water from the upper floors.

Liu Yan carefully folded the sheets neatly and placed them on the clothes-drying rack. Then she used a clothes-drying fork to carry the wet sheets and quilt covers to the outermost clothes-drying pole, and tried her best to avoid the dry clothes of the students below.

The students downstairs saw water dripping from above, and even though Liu Yan had tried her best to avoid their clothes, they still collected their underwear and pants that had been hung out to dry.

Yu Qianqian had no intention of notifying others to collect the clothes, and when she saw Liu Yan doing so, she remembered that if she had not seen Liu Yan's operation just now and had directly hung the clothes to dry, she would probably be scolded to death by the people downstairs.

Cui Yujie saw it and said, "Why do you need to go through so much trouble? Just throw the sheets into the washing machine, there is no water at all, and it will dry quickly."

With the high temperature in late summer, it did dry quickly.

Zhang Min saw that they all washed the sheets, but she was the only one who didn't. She didn't want to wash them, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart, which was different from them, as if she was so dirty.

She lay on the quilt she had folded, rubbed her face on the quilt, and said to them: "It's because the school doesn't have to fight with two people. Otherwise, there would be endless work in the fields, and I would be so tired that I don't even have the strength to breathe. How can I have time to wash the sheets? I have never seen new sheets being washed. Can washed sheets still be called new sheets?"

They were all hypocritical.

Liu Yan just smiled and said nothing, climbed onto her bed and continued reading.

Yu Qianqian smiled and said, "You're right, I don't want to wash it either. The quilt cover is so big, I'm so tired of pulling it!"

Cui Yujie smiled and said, "I told you to put it in the washing machine, but there are three washing machines there, and you don't use them."

After she finished speaking, no one in the dormitory answered.

For a while, the dormitory was quiet.

Jiang Xi, who had been sitting cross-legged on the bunk and watching the scene in the dormitory, roughly judged the general style of the new roommates in the dormitory just through this one thing.

In the evening, a group of people went downstairs to eat. Cui Yujie, the girl in suspenders, spontaneously walked with Shen Xinlan, the white-skinned girl with dimples. Yu Qianqian, Liu Yan, and Zhang Min walked together. Jiang Xi, the last one to come, walked alone.

Seeing that she was alone, Liu Yan asked her curiously, "You were not in the dormitory yesterday. Did you go home? Are you also from Beijing?"

For a moment, several people looked at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu smiled and shook her head and said, "No."

Liu Yan waited for her to continue, but Jiang Liu disappeared.

But everyone can basically judge from this point that Jiang Liu is in Beijing, either he has relatives, or he has a house, or he rented a house outside the school.

They all tend to the first and second points. As for the third point, they have a dormitory, who would rent a house outside the school? It's not like they have too much money.

But just because of this, everyone in the dormitory was a little polite to Jiang Xi. After all, just looking at her clothes, although she didn't dress like Shen Xinlan, she looked like a spoiled little princess who grew up with plenty of money, but she didn't look particularly poor. People with

poorer conditions, such as Liu Yan and Zhang Min, could be seen at a glance.

After dinner, Liu Yan, Zhang Min, Yu Qianqian, and Jiang Xi got some water and returned to the dormitory. Cui Yujie and Shen Xinlan left for something else. In the evening, Cui Yujie and Shen Xinlan came back to inform them that the department would hold a freshman meeting tomorrow.

Zhang Min asked curiously, "Why did you notify us? Why didn't we receive the notification?"

Cui Yujie said without hiding anything, "The dean called all of us from Beijing to a meeting in the evening. After all, we are more familiar with Beijing."

The main reason was that many parents of freshmen from Beijing, even if they didn't know the dean, teachers, and professors in the department, had used various connections. The dean asked them to come over, not to take care of them privately, but to make it clear to them that although their parents had asked him to take care of them, the premise was that they had to be obedient, study hard, and not make trouble. If they had any problems, they could go to him, but if they made trouble for him, he would not cover it up.

After that, he asked them to notify others that the department would hold a freshman meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

But when Cui Yujie said this, it was as if she was saying that they had a lot of connections in Beijing and the dean of the department was also their background.

Liu Yan, Yu Qianqian, and Zhang Min, who didn't know much about these twists and turns, were shocked.

Zhang Min asked with a little curiosity: "Is the dean of the department your relative?"

Cui Yujie smiled and said nothing, but Shen Xinlan smiled and said: "No, don't get me wrong, the dean of the department called us over to warn us."

But no matter what they said, in the minds of Liu Yan and Zhang Min, it was left that local students in Beijing had a different impression from teachers and deans.

The next morning, Jiang Xi got up at 5:40 as usual. After washing up, he went to the playground to warm up and jog. When he came back, several girls in the dormitory had also gotten up. The six people in the dormitory spontaneously formed three small groups: Cui Yujie and Shen Xinlan in one group, Liu Yan, Zhang Min, and Yu Qianqian in another group, and Jiang Xi in a group alone.

But among the three small groups, Liu Yan wanted to pull Jiang Xi to join them, and Shen Xinlan didn't seem to like Cui Yujie. Seeing Jiang Xi coming back from running, she smiled and greeted Jiang Xi: "You got up so early, do you want to go downstairs to have breakfast together?"

Jiang Xi smiled and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, took the washbasin and clothes to change, and said: "Go, I'll take a shower and change clothes first."

Shen Xinlan naturally replied: "Okay, then I'll wait for you."

When Jiang Xi came back, the five people in the dormitory were all there.

Everyone probably saw that Shen Xinlan's family conditions might be the best in the dormitory. Cui Yujie wanted to form a group with Shen Xinlan. Others in the dormitory saw this and also vaguely centered on Shen Xinlan.

Before this, Zhang Yan and Yu Qianqian were both very simple girls who only cared about studying. However, social relationships are a subtle and subtle relationship. When they first came to the new environment, they were already in this subtle social relationship.

So naturally, Cui Yujie was next to Shen Xinlan, Shen Xinlan and Jiang Xi were next to each other, Liu Yan and Jiang Xi were next to each other and talked from time to time, and next to her were Liu Min and Yu Qianqian. Cui

Yujie, who had always wanted to be the most influential person in the dormitory, wanted to control the entire 401 dormitory, and let the entire 401 dormitory listen to her, inexplicably became a marginal figure in the dormitory like Yu Qianqian, but she herself did not notice it at all.

Perhaps, it is difficult for people in it to notice this subtle change in relationship.

Jiang Xi is from the School of Mathematics, and the girls in her dormitory are all science majors.

The freshman meeting in the morning mainly talked about four things.

First, the welcome party; second, the registration for the upcoming autumn sports meet for college students; third, the centennial celebration of the school this year, and their department will have a show; fourth, it is about the election of class leaders, which requires students to go to the counselor to register, and then through their own speeches, the students will vote for their own class leaders.

After the freshman meeting, it was time for each class to elect class leaders.

The counselor asked them to raise their hands to nominate themselves, and the classmates would elect them together.

Jiang Xi himself was not interested in these things, he just watched quietly. Liu Yan wanted to participate in the class cadre election. She was active and calm. Zhang Min was eager to try, but she was a little hesitant. She whispered to Yu Qianqian below: "Aren't you going to sign up?"

Yu Qianqian shook her head: "I'm not going, you go."

Zhang Min said: "Then you vote for me."

Yu Qianqian nodded: "Okay."

Cui Yujie, the suspender girl in their dormitory, was the most active. She turned around and said to them: "Hey, we are all in the same dormitory. I will run for class monitor. You all have to vote for me. If I become class monitor, I will treat you to dinner!" She asked Shen Xinlan: "Xinlan, who are you running for?"

"Propaganda committee member." Shen Xinlan said indifferently. She turned her head to ask Jiang Xi: "Jiang Xi, what about you?"

Jiang Xi smiled and shook his head: "The service for the class will be left to you."

She just wanted to rest and focus on studying during the school term.

Many freshmen are in a wait-and-see state like Liu Min and Yu Qianqian. They are a little embarrassed to be in the limelight. At this time, they are extroverted and much more positive

and generous than those who have been class cadres in junior high and high school. Liu Yan is a person who has been a class monitor since childhood and has been a class monitor for nearly ten years. She speaks and acts slowly and steadily. She is also running for the position of class monitor.

There are quite a few people in their class who have been class monitors. There are more men than women in the School of Mathematics, and there are two boys who are also running for the position of class monitor.

Cui Yujie stood up and talked about her desire to be the monitor, mainly emphasizing that she was a native of Beijing, and what she could do for her classmates as the monitor, and what benefits there were. Unfortunately, although she said nice things, which were basically words to praise herself, another tall and stable boy in the class was elected. She became the deputy monitor, which made her a little unhappy.

She has been the deputy monitor since high school and has always wanted to be the monitor. She thought that she would finally have the opportunity to be the monitor in college, but she ended up being the deputy monitor.

It was frustrating.

Liu Yan did not become the monitor, but became the secretary of the Youth League.

Shen Xinlan is the propaganda committee member.

There are six girls in the dormitory, and three of them are class cadres.

After that, the class cadres continued to stay for the meeting, and Jiang Xi, Yu Qianqian and others returned to the dormitory.

On the way, Yu Qianqian asked Jiang Xi curiously: "Jiang Xi, why didn't you run for class leader?"

Mainly because Jiang Xi looked like a class leader. I thought she would run for election, but she didn't run for anything. Like her, she was completely out of the picture.

Zhang Min was also a little curious: "That's right, why didn't you run?"

Jiang Xi smiled and asked back: "What about you? You were able to get into Peking University. You all had good grades in your original high school. You should all be class leaders,

right?" It really is.

Yu Qianqian was a study committee member in her original high school, and she was only responsible for studying well. Zhang Min was a math class representative.

When they returned to the dormitory at night, they had to elect a dormitory head again. Cui Yujie was still very active in recommending herself, but no one in the dormitory chose her. Four votes were cast for Liu Yan. Among them, Jiang Xi got one vote from Shen Xinlan, and Cui Yujie voted for herself.

When she learned the result of the vote, Cui Yujie's face suddenly fell.

She originally thought that even if she was not elected as the dormitory head, she would at least have three votes, right? She didn't know who it was that voted for Jiang Xi and not for her? She suspected that the vote for Jiang Xi was Jiang Xi's vote for himself.

Thinking of this, she became even more upset, which meant that except for her and Jiang Xi, everyone in the dormitory voted for Liu Yan.

She complained to Shen Xinlan in a low voice, "Xinlan, why didn't you choose me?"

She thought that she and Shen Xinlan were both from Beijing and belonged to a small group, so she naturally regarded Shen Xinlan's vote as her own. Who knew that Shen Xinlan looked at her with a smile and said, "The dormitory head has to adjust the dormitory order and dormitory hygiene."

You look like a troublemaker, not a peacemaker.

Although they had only been together for two days and were not familiar with each other, these two days were enough for them to have a preliminary impression of their new roommates and classmates.

Everyone, who had already felt a little uncomfortable with Cui Yujie's self-righteous way of speaking, couldn't help but smile at each other, except Cui Yujie, who sat on her upper bunk unhappily, sulking alone and ignoring them.

Liu Yan took out a timetable and asked them to copy it.

Shen Xinlan and Cui Yujie had already copied the timetable, only Zhang Min, Yu Qianqian and Jiang Xi had not copied it yet.

When Zhang Min and Yu Qianqian were copying the class schedule, they saw Jiang Xiao sitting on the upper deck and didn't come down. They looked up and called her: "Jiang Xiao, aren't you going to come down and copy the class schedule? The lights will be turned off soon." They

thought Jiang Xiao would wait until they finished copying before copying, but Jiang Xiao shook her head and said, "I don't need it."

Yu Qianqian was puzzled and turned around and asked her curiously, "Why? Classes start tomorrow!"

Jiang Xiao put down the book in her hand, smiled and said, "I have finished all my freshman courses."
