Chapter 216 216

Jiang Xi obviously said nothing and did nothing, but after Grandpa Jiang finished speaking, he still felt a little embarrassed. The wrinkles on his face stretched to both sides, and he smiled at the corners of his lips. He sat on the recliner, covered with a thick recliner quilt, and rocked happily.

Old child, old child, old, but it seems that he is spoiled like a child. He did not get attention and love in his youth. It was all like candy in childhood. Someone brought a handful of colorful and sweet candy, traveled through time and space, and gave it to the little boy who was forgotten in the corner of his memory that seemed like a lifetime ago.

After Jiang Xi marked Grandpa Jiang’s birthday on the calendar, he called Xu Xiuli and He Xiaofang.

When He Xiaofang was suddenly called by the dormitory manager and told that there was a call for her, she was confused.

She thought, who could call her? Her family would definitely not call her. A call costs 60 cents a minute, which is too expensive, unless something happened at home.

But what could happen at home? Her younger brother is just in elementary school, and his elder sister is taking care of him at home.

Could it be the second sister? Is the second sister going to get married and can't pay for her tuition in the future? She had already prepared for this mentally and had submitted an application for a scholarship for poor students to the school. During the summer vacation and weekends, she has been working hard to earn money to prepare for the tuition and living expenses for the next semester.

Lu Xuehua and Liu Ping are also studying in the provincial capital. They occasionally make appointments to work together on weekends!

Liu Ping always finds various jobs first, and then the three of them happily go out to hand out flyers, dress up as puppets and perform in the square, etc., and these two people will not contact her until Friday night.

Is it Xu Xiuli? No, Xiuli never calls her. She and Xiuli can't talk to each other privately. They are basically in a state of silence. The only common topic between the two is Jiang Xiuli.

During the senior year of high school, the two occasionally talked about Jiang Xiuli, and Xu Xiuli complained about Jiang Xiuli: "She flew out and didn't come back to see us."

He Xiaofang: "Oh, Beijing is so far away!" Miss her!

"I won't call her!"

He Xiaofang: "I want to call, but I have no money. Will calling disturb Xiuli?" Miss her!

"I think she just found a new friend and forgot about us!"

He Xiaofang: "... It would be great if I could get into Beijing!" Still miss her!

She quickly ran downstairs and asked the aunt in the canteen: "Who called me?"

Before the aunt answered, she had already picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Xiaofang, it's me." A familiar voice came from the phone.

He Xiaofang was so excited that she stomped her feet and twisted her body, saying coquettishly: "Why did you call me just now? I thought you didn't receive my letter!"

When they parted during the summer vacation, Jiang Xi left them his phone number and the address of his rental house. Not long after school started, He Xiaofang wrote a letter to Jiang Xi, but the letter was sent to the rental house. Jiang Xi was not in the rental house, so the letter was delivered to the mailbox downstairs.

Jiang Xi didn't have the habit of checking the mailbox. It was after a long time that she occasionally walked to the mailbox and saw a book stuffed outside the mailbox in her room, half inside and half outside. She took it out and saw that it was a sample issue of "Martial Arts" magazine.

Since He Xiaofang and her friends graduated from high school, the sample issue of "Martial Arts" magazine was no longer sent to Wucheng No. 1 Middle School, but was sent to her rental house in Beijing. Every time it was stuffed into her mailbox, the mailbox was completely stuffed and there was no more room. The courier poked hard inside, and only then did Jiang Xi accidentally see that half of the book was inside and half was outside.

After she pulled out the "Martial Arts" magazine, she reached into it and rummaged around. Wow, it was stuffed full, including two letters, one from He Xiaofang and one from Xu Xiuli.

Xu Xiuli not only sent a letter, but also attached two photos. One was a photo of her during military training, which had tanned her face and made her smile with curved eyebrows. The other was an artistic photo, with thin curved eyebrows, bright red lipstick, her hair tied back, and two thin black hairpins on her ears. She was wearing a clean white dress. It was a half-length photo, very beautiful, and very characteristic of that era.

The letter talked about her college life in Shanghai. Because she was in the "King of Guards" crew, she had contact with Jiang Bo and Tong Jingang. Although she was a girl and Jiang Bo and Tong Jingang were boys, because she was a good friend of Jiang Xi and they were in the same university, she would occasionally go shopping in Jiang Bo's store with her new roommate.

Tong Jingang and Jiang Bo took good care of her.

The letter also mentioned the house she bought. She learned from Jiang Bai and Tong Jingang that Jiang Xi's house was in the community behind Shanghai University of Technology. She had visited it and agreed with her parents to buy a house here, very close to Jiang Xi's house. They would be neighbors in the future. Because she thought Jiang Xi's house was well decorated, she wanted to decorate it in the same way and install floor heating so that she wouldn't feel cold when reading in the study in winter. At

the end of the letter, she asked Jiang Xi to reply and send her some photos, hoping for a reply.

Jiang Xi looked at the time on the back of the letter. They were all more than a month ago.

He Xiaofang's was even earlier.

Jiang Xi explained with a smile, "The letter was posted in the mailbox. I just found out about my letter these two days, and I haven't replied yet."

He Xiaofang said coquettishly, "It's not your fault that you didn't receive it. Didn't you call me~"

The aunt in the canteen widened her eyes, watching this girl who was over 1.7 meters tall, dark-skinned and strong, acting coquettishly. If she hadn't just answered the phone and knew that there was a girl on the other end of the phone, people who didn't know would have thought she was calling her boyfriend. They couldn't help but knit while watching this big black girl acting coquettishly on the phone.

Jiang Xi asked about her birthday, and He Xiaofang became shy again, and asked shyly, "You...why are you asking me about my birthday?"

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Nothing, just asking."

He Xiaofang said her birthday a little embarrassedly.

Her birthday is not her real birthday, but the birthday on her ID card. Her mother gave birth to five daughters in a row. She could barely remember the birthday of the eldest daughter, but He Xiaofang was the third daughter in the middle, neither in the order

of birth. Her mother really couldn’t remember it. She had two younger sisters who were given away when they were born. Her mother only remembered the specific month of her birth. When she registered her household registration, she just reported a random date, which became her birthday.

She never told anyone about this, and only regarded this random date as her birthday. In fact, she always minded that she didn’t know her real birthday, and no one would ever tell her about it because no one remembered it.

Jiang Qi circled He Xiaofang’s birthday on the Taiwanese calendar, and then wrote a note in red pen: He Xiaofang’s birthday.

Many times, as long as she wants and as long as she is willing, she can make everyone around her feel happy and like her. This is the provision of emotional value.

In her previous life, she had a smooth career and her colleagues and leaders all liked her. But why did she want to talk more and more later on, and her desire to vent became stronger and stronger?

She was a person who provided positive emotional value to people around her for a long time, but she herself could not get positive emotional value from others in return, and her formal marriage was also consuming her internally.

At the beginning, her strong inner strength allowed her to resist external and internal consumption, but over time, her emotional value could not be replenished, and she had been exhausted from outputting all the time.

That's why she went crazy when she was reborn. After she got away from the people who drained her, she stopped wasting her energy and got replenished with positive emotional values ​​from Grandpa, Jiang Bai, He Xiaofang, He Xiuli, Song Peifeng and others.

It's like a battery that has been continuously outputting electricity to the outside world, and finally got replenished with electricity from the outside world.

Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Bai gave her the power of family affection, He Xiaofang and Xu Xiuli gave her the power of friendship, and Song Peifeng may have given her the power of love. Even if it's not love, having such a young and handsome boy by her side, even if you just look at him every day, kiss and hug him, is a way to release bad emotions and replenish positive emotions.

No wonder there are so many young and lovely men around Emperor Wu after he ascended the throne. If she were Emperor Wu, she would also like them.

She cared about He Xiaofang's life and studies, and felt relieved when she knew that everything was fine with her. She often went to work with Lu Xuehua and Liu Ping on weekends. Before hanging up the phone, He Xiaofang hurriedly asked her, "Xingxing, when is your birthday?"

Jiang Xing smiled and told her her birthday. He Xiaofang stomped her feet in annoyance when she heard that Jiang Xing's birthday had already passed.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xing called Xu Xiuli again.

Xu Xiuli waited impatiently for Jiang Xi's call. She was expectant at first, then angry, and then suspected that the letter was lost. She called Jiang Xi's rental house several times at different times, but no one answered. She was angry again.

There was a phone in their school dormitory. It was an IC phone. It was free to receive calls, but you had to dial an IC card to make calls.

It was not Xu Xiuli who answered the phone, but her roommate. She felt a little strange when she heard that it was for her. She and her family called each other every night at a fixed time. Logically, it should not be her parents who called. She suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but smile. However, she was very arrogant. She walked over to answer the phone and deliberately dragged out her voice: "Hello?"

Jiang Xi heard her voice, as if he had seen her expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Her voice was a little low, coming from the phone, and Xu Xiuli, who felt that she was a little childish just now, blushed and puffed her cheeks and snorted: "I've been waiting for your call. Do you know how many times I called you? No one answered any of them, and you didn't call me."

As she said this, she was a little angry.

Jiang Xi smiled and coaxed: "Didn't I call you? When you called me, I was probably in the school dormitory. I just moved out recently."

"I'm not angry." Xu Xiuli widened her beautiful eyes and asked her: "Have you seen the photos I sent you? Don't just send you photos, you should also send a few photos later. It's a pity that we are not in the same school, otherwise we can take photos together."

She also wanted to take artistic photos with Jiang Xi.

"There will be a chance." He asked about Xu Xiuli's birthday.

Xu Xiuli told her birthday and asked about Jiang Xi's birthday. After knowing that her birthday had passed, she felt a little upset like He Xiaofang.

When Jiang Xi was on the phone with Xu Xiuli and He Xiaofang, Song Peifeng was beside her. Hearing her coaxing her two good friends like a sea king, he felt a little jealous. He sat aside and played with her hands, then bit her fingers gently to draw her attention back to himself. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked over with a smile, seeming to be very satisfied with the effect he had achieved. Jiang Xi pulled his hand back and rubbed his head soothingly, and continued to listen to his friends being coquettish to her.

A few days later, Xu Xiuli sent something to Jiang Xi, which turned out to be the Hongyan honey orange, which is known as the Hermes of oranges.

A few days later, Jiang Xi received another package, which turned out to be a hand-woven wool scarf and gloves.

The wool yarn was just ordinary coarse wool yarn, but the towel and gloves were woven very densely and delicately. Different from the long scarves that people liked later, the scarf woven by He Xiaofang was of appropriate length, and the gloves were full-coverage, wrapping the whole hand. Jiang Xi tried them on and although it was difficult to hold a pen, it was very warm.

She tied a light brown scarf again, stood in front of Song Peifeng, turned around and smiled at him: "Is it good?"

After entering December, the second draft of the TV series "White Snake" was completely revised. Producer Li and others came to Peking University again and called Jiang Qing to hold a script study session. They did not go to the Literature Society this time. The deans of the liberal arts departments were embarrassed to let the people from the Literature Society receive them. The dean of the School of Mathematics directly arranged a classroom for them, and several people read the script in this classroom.

Compared with the first draft, the second draft is obviously much more complete. If there are no problems, they can find actors according to this script and start filming.

The main actors have been found almost, and some minor actors need to wait until the final script is completely confirmed before they can find them temporarily.

Scriptwriter Yuan Feng is indeed good at writing emotional dramas. After the two chief screenwriters from CCTV created and polished the script of "White Snake", it was basically complete. The only thing left was the last step. The two of them worked together to completely merge the final script into one.

After the second script study session ended, knowing that Jiang Xi and the others were about to enter the final exam week, they invited Jiang Xi and said, "You will be on winter vacation by then. Do you want to come to the play and play a guest role?" Jiang Xi

smiled and refused. Producer Li didn't care and invited Jiang Xi to come to the crew during the winter vacation.

The exam week started on December 12, but since December, the already strong learning atmosphere at both Peking University and National Tsing Hua University has become tense and enthusiastic again.

The department head also knew that their second script reading session was over. In view of the school's rule that freshmen must live on campus, the department head also asked Jiang Wu to return to the dormitory.

Originally, there were six people in their dormitory, but after Cui Yujie left, there were only five people left. Unexpectedly, when Jiang Wu returned to the dormitory, the empty bed in the dormitory was already occupied. When she saw Jiang Wu coming in, she just looked up at her indifferently, then lowered her head to read her book again, with a very cold expression.

She was wearing a black dress that didn't fit her well, the sleeves were a little shorter, and her hair was cut into a chin-length hairstyle with heavy bangs, which was slightly longer. When she lowered her head to read, her hair covered most of her face, making her look like she had blended into a dark corner.

Zhang Min smiled as soon as she saw Jiang Xi, as if she had seen a relative. She stood up and teased Jiang Xi, "Hey, our great writer is back. Come and tell us about the love-hate relationship between you and the vice president of your literature club. I heard that you and him had a fight. What happened and why did you fight?"

His eyes were bright, as if he wanted to eat some amazing melon up close.

Liu Yan, Yu Qianqian, Shen Xinlan and others who were originally reading quietly all looked up at Jiang Xi as he walked in.

Yu Qianqian probably had a cold, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "That's right, what kind of person is he, why does he hit a girl, he has no quality, I despise him." Then she looked at Jiang Xi with concern, also with a look of eating melon: "Come and tell us, what's going on?"

During this period, Jiang Xi could be said to be away from the dormitory, but her legend was everywhere in the dormitory and school, after her identity of "Xiang Meng" was exposed.

Not to mention the bloody storm on the Internet some time ago about her being a team, which made a group of alumni eat enough melons, just the fact that the big shot in the humanities department, the strong contender for the next president of the literature club, the vice president of the literature club was punished with a serious warning, and apologized in the capital daily and on the Internet for half a month, was enough to make the students on the campus of Beijing University eat enough melons and watch the drama every day.

Especially in the humanities department.

As the first of the four crazy colleges, the academic atmosphere of the mathematics department is still a bit thick. Everyone is paying attention to mathematics learning and research. If Jiang Qi hadn't happened to be from their mathematics department, they might not have known about this.

But the humanities department was blown up.

First, the true identity of Ximeng was completely exposed, and then there was the rumor on the Internet that "Ximeng is a team", and then the apology and downfall of the vice president of the literature club. A series of gossips, not to mention Kyoto University, even the neighboring Tsinghua University and nearby universities heard about it. Because the Ximeng reader group is huge, students from several schools all joined the online battle, and it was a hot topic.

Unfortunately, the person involved, "Ximeng", seemed to have disappeared. There was no news, and she could not be found anywhere in the school except during class time.

Seeing Jiang Meng return to the dormitory at this moment, Zhang Min's gossipy soul was burning. She pulled Jiang Meng to sit on her bed: "Jiang Meng, tell us quickly, what happened during this period of time? I heard that the vice-president of the literature society loves you but hates your talent. He is afraid that you will compete with him for the position of president of the literature society, so he exposed your identity in order to frame you, right?"

Liu Yan, Yu Qianqian, Shen Xinlan and others all looked over curiously. Only the new roommate who originally slept on Cui Yujie's bed did not react at all. He continued to read without raising his head.

"Where did you hear all this nonsense? I only met that vice president once and we never spoke to each other. How can there be any love or hatred?" Jiang Xi shared the Hongyan honey oranges in his hand with everyone, and each person grabbed two: "Come and eat oranges. The Hongyan honey oranges in this season are at their best."

Xu Xiuli sent too many oranges for her and Song Peifeng to finish, so she brought half a box to the dormitory to share with everyone.

She herself likes eating oranges very much, especially Hongyan honey oranges.

In the past, in order to please her, some people would bring boxes of Hongyan tangerines to her every time they were on the market. Director Jiang never accepted any farewell gifts, but she would still eat Hongyan tangerines most of the time. This was discovered by chance during a dinner party when someone discovered that Director Jiang had eaten six tangerines in a short time. Only then did they realize that Director Jiang actually loved eating tangerines.

Unlike other people who would get angry after eating two tangerines, she would not get angry no matter how much she ate, so she left the other half box of tangerines in the rental house, and let Song Peifeng take some back to the dormitory to share with his roommates.

The picking month of Hongyan tangerines is very particular. Generally, when tangerines are on the market, it is not the best time to pick Hongyan tangerines. It is more than a month later than the tangerines on the market. You must wait until the tangerines are frosted, which is when the taste is the sweetest and most refreshing.

When Shen Xinlan saw the words "Hongyan Honey Tangerine" written on the outer packaging of the tangerines, she couldn't help but get up and took two with interest and said, "Are they actually Hongyan Honey Tangerines?"

She quickly opened one and tasted it, her eyes lit up, and praised, "Actually, they are authentic Hongyan Honey Tangerines produced in Hongyan. It's hard for ordinary people to buy them. Where did you buy them?"

"What Hongyan Honey Tangerine?" Zhang Min didn't understand, so she quickly peeled one and put it in her mouth. She only felt a sweet tangerine fragrance flowing down her throat into her stomach. It was so delicious that her eyes lit up and said, "This tangerine is delicious! Where did you buy it? I'll buy some too!"

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "A friend gave it to me."

"Oh~~~~" Zhang Min squinted her eyes curiously: "Did a friend give it to you? Your boyfriend, right?"

Jiang Xing got the rare feeling of showing off from Grandpa Jiang, and said with a smile: "My girlfriend."

Oranges are so common in this season, and you can buy a bag full of them for one or two yuan outside, so they didn't bother to be polite with Jiang Xing and each of them took two oranges and peeled them.

Shen Xinlan smiled and said, "The authentic Hongyan honey tangerines are not easy to buy. Usually, they are already reserved before they are put on the market. There are very few Hongyan honey tangerines on the market. Many of them are fake, produced in nearby areas pretending to be produced in Hongyan." She ate a petal and said, "In the past, this was a tribute only available in the palace!" When

Liu Yan, Yu Qianqian and others heard this, their hands that were originally peeling oranges suddenly paused, and they raised the honey tangerines in their hands to examine them carefully: "This thing... is it a tribute?"

"An orange? It's a tribute?"

After being assigned to the new roommate, the new roommate grabbed the bed sheet with her fingers after hearing what Shen Xinlan said, but did not move. She shook her head and said, "Thank you, I don't want to eat it."

Jiang Xi was not stingy at all. She directly took out two tangerines and placed them beside the new roommate's bed. She looked up at her and smiled and introduced herself, "My name is Jiang Xi, and I'm from the Department of Financial Mathematics of the School of Mathematical Sciences."

When Jiang Xi got closer, he saw the new roommate's little face hidden under her hair. She was a pretty girl but a little thin, and she didn't look too well.

The new roommate looked a bit withdrawn and didn't like to smile. She looked at Jiang Xi's hand and stared at her white and slender hand for a long time before she lightly touched Jiang Xi's warm fingertips and held them lightly. She said, "Xi Weilu, School of Chemistry." What surprised the

new roommate was that Jiang Xi's white and slender hands were not actually soft and tender, and even her fingertips were rough.

Jiang Xi was a little surprised that she didn't talk much, and she was also a little surprised that a student from the School of Chemistry was assigned to their dormitory of the School of Mathematics, but she didn't ask.

Instead, she turned to the dormitory head Liu Yan and said, "I haven't been in the dormitory for a while. Is it my turn to clean the bathroom?"

The dormitory, which was originally lively because of Jiang Xi's return, suddenly became quiet for a second after the new roommate spoke, and then quickly pretended to be calm and talked about the dormitory's duty arrangements.

The new roommate didn't touch the two oranges until she saw that everyone in the dormitory was eating. At night, she lay in bed and quietly put a slice into her mouth. It was really sweet, with just the right sourness and the right sweet fragrance, which immediately captured her slightly bitter taste buds. It

was not until very late that she fell asleep. It seemed that as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard the sound of Jiang Xi getting out of bed. She woke up suddenly, but dared not move.

Soon, she heard the sound of a door closing quietly.

At night, when Xi Weilu was not in the dormitory, Zhang Min, who was always gossipy and loudmouthed, pulled Jiang Xi and whispered gossipingly, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone!"

Jiang Xi was stunned by her sudden whisper, thinking that she had some secret to tell her. Unexpectedly, Zhang Min quickly squeezed her eyes towards Xi Weilu's bed and quickly retracted them and said, "Don't offend her. She is from the Chemical College. You know the poisoning case next door? It was closed a few days ago. It was said that it exceeded the legal period and there was no result."

"The conflicts in the School of Chemistry are really terrible. When others quarrel, they are deadly." Zhang Min hugged her arms in fear: "I heard that she had some conflicts with the people in her former dormitory. The people in her former dormitory were afraid of her and were unwilling to share a dormitory with her. It just so happened that our dormitory was short of one person, so she was placed in our dormitory."

She lowered her voice: "It is said that she poisoned her roommate and was discovered..."

Jiang Xi couldn't help but rolled his eyes at her speechlessly and poked her forehead: "Can you use your smart little head to think about it? If she really poisoned, can she still transfer to our dormitory?"

I really can't stand it!
