Chapter 217 217
Zhang Min was able to be admitted to the School of Mathematics, the top of the four crazy colleges. Is she a stupid person? Of course not.
But reason is reason, reality is reality.
The reality is that Zhang Min understands the reason, but she is just afraid. The precedent of the neighboring school is there. Although the incident of the neighboring school has happened for several years, the matter has not actually been over. The truth has long been found out. It was originally thought that the murderer of poisoning would be punished and the students who were killed would be explained. But what was the result given by the police chiefs in the government in the end? The statutory period has passed. Even though everyone knows what happened, the matter is left unresolved. The murderer chose to study abroad and nothing happened. The victim's body was mutilated and his trachea was cut. Everything in his originally bright life was ruined.
She was just an ordinary student. Facing such a result, a roommate from the School of Chemistry who was said to have "poisoned" also came into her dormitory. How could she not be afraid?
The previous experience of the School of Chemistry next door was there. She looked at her roommate from the School of Chemistry in her dormitory. It was like sleeping in a big dormitory in ancient times, and suddenly a "poison king" was arranged to come in. He was a "poison king" with a bad reputation and had harmed people.
Even if she knew rationally, if it was true as the rumor said, Xi Weilu had poisoned someone, and the result of this fruitless case in the neighboring school came out, the students collectively protested, and the tension that was suppressed was on the verge of breaking out. Xi Weilu would not have the opportunity to stay in the school and transfer to their dormitory. But what if?
More importantly, they are from the School of Mathematics. How can someone from the School of Chemistry move into their dormitory?
Zhang Min wanted to cry but had no tears.
She had a natural fear of having someone from the School of Chemistry in her dormitory.
She originally wanted to tell Jiang Xi that with Jiang Xi's influence in the school and the attention of the teachers and deans, if she mentioned it, maybe she could really get the new roommate to leave their dormitory. But she never expected that Jiang Xi would have such an attitude and didn't care at all.
She asked with a depressed face: "You really don't care at all?"
Jiang Xi said: "In all these years, this is the only vicious incident like this? Are you going to generalize?"
Zhang Min pouted: "Am I not afraid?"
She was timid and cherished her life. The result of her carelessness would be like the victim in the school next door. That would cost her life and lifelong health. She couldn't afford to take the risk.
But Jiang Xi's attitude still made her relax a little. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, as long as she doesn't bother me, I'm not someone who can be easily messed with!"
Jiang Xi chuckled, "You also know that you're not someone who can be easily messed with?" Then his face became serious again and he said, "Forget it since you told me about this. Don't talk nonsense outside. 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 knew it a long time ago!"
But no one was as impatient as she was.
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 a mean bully. The new roommate Xi Weilu is quiet. She either attends classes outside or does experiments in the laboratory all day, or lies on the bed reading silently. If you don't provoke her, she won't make trouble.
But she won't take the initiative to play with Xi Weilu.
Everyone keeps away from her.
This state of keeping a distance actually makes Xi Weilu feel relieved. She goes alone every day. She thought she was the first to leave the dormitory and the last to come back, but a few days later, she found out that she was wrong.
The first person to leave the dormitory is always Jiang Xi, and the last to come back is also her.
Jiang Xi gets up at 6 o'clock every morning to go running. After running, she goes directly to the cafeteria to eat 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 then goes downstairs to eat breakfast. After Jiang Xi and others have left, she will tidy up the dormitory, clean the bathroom, mop the floor, and then mop the dormitory floor until it is shiny and bright, then leave for class, and come back at the closing time of the dormitory building in the evening.
In addition to the busy classes and studies every day, Jiang Xi also has to go back to the rental house to type on the computer every day. She has 10,000 words to write.
The serialized plot of "The King's Guard" has come to an end again. This time it is really over. I can't write anymore. The manuscripts of "Star Trek" have more than 300,000 words. All of them have been sent to Wang Yong's mailbox. Now "My Years Driving a Star Trek" has begun to be serialized in "Martial Arts" magazine.
Before, in order to serialize this article, I did a warm-up for the Star Trek novel in "Martial Arts" magazine, and also serialized some of it. Although it is considered a niche in "Martial Arts" magazine, when Jiang Qing's new work "Star Trek" was released, everyone's attention was immediately focused on this "Star Trek".
You know, the first three works of Xi Meng all have some martial arts elements. Although "White Snake" is not a martial arts work, it also has the word "hero". What's more, Mr. Jin said, "The greatest heroes 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 be said to be a great hero 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 era when mobile phones have just appeared, the various electronic devices that appeared in Jiang Wei's Star Mecha novel simply burned the readers' brain cells, especially the computers in "Star Mecha" were not the brick computers they saw in Internet cafes, but "light screens" that could be retracted and expanded and made larger or smaller. There were 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 chips.
These data are only regarded as the settings of this novel by laymen, but the group of readers of "Wuxia" is really huge. The sales of "Wuxia" have long been all over the country. Many college students of 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 couldn't help but denounce "Wuxia" for not understanding "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 Photolithography Machine Technology".
The last part of the article made anyone who has some knowledge of chips feel uncomfortable.
You want to say that '檸萌' is a complete layman, right? She wrote about science and technology with great professionalism, and with all kinds of professional terms, you can tell she is not writing nonsense.
But do you think she understands? 0.1 nanometer chips were already eliminated in the interstellar era?
Huh? Interstellar era? That was thousands of years later, right?
Thousands of years later, the chip technology upgraded to 0.1 nanometers was considered outdated, and it didn't seem so difficult to accept.
Didn't you read in the book that chips have been replaced by newer, higher-tech optical chips?
However, after reading this article, ordinary readers were completely captivated by the grand interstellar era opened up by Xi Meng's writing.
Their country's first manned spacecraft has not yet landed on the moon, but the spacecraft she wrote about can already achieve space jumps through black holes.
Xi Weilu would meet Jiang Xi every night when she came back.
Every time Jiang Xi saw her, she would greet her with a smile, and then the two of them would carry a water bottle back to the dormitory together. When
Zhang Min and Liu Yan in the dormitory saw them, they thought they had made an appointment. Jiang Xi didn't know when she got along well with her new roommate.
Also because everyone saw that she had a good relationship with Jiang Xi, her roommates in Dormitory 401, who had originally been a little repulsive to her and didn't pay much attention to her, soon accepted her.
Sometimes when they were talking or chatting, they would throw the topic to her, and share their food with her.
She was stunned, and didn't know what happened. Why did the people in the dormitory suddenly seem to be less repulsive to her.
She was used to keeping silent, so she didn't ask.
Everyone was nervous about studying at the end of the semester, and there were still many people reading and studying in the corridor at night.
Xi Weilu was like a little beast hiding in the dark, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
She found that Jiang Gui always went to bed when it was time to turn off the lights, and never stayed up late to read or study.
Zhang Min and the others had lost a few strands of hair from reviewing every day. Seeing that Jiang Xi went to bed on time at 10 o'clock every night, and did not come to the classroom to attend the freshman classes during the day, nor did she review the freshman courses in the dormitory, she could not help but shout: "Jiang Xi, the exams are coming up soon, aren't you reviewing the freshman courses at all?"
Jiang Xi, who had already lay down with his eyes closed, could be heard from the mosquito net: "Didn't I say that I finished learning last year? This year I just need to take the exams and complete the credits."
Liu Yan could not help but ask: "Are you taking the sophomore exams as well?"
Jiang Xi said: "If there is no conflict in time, we will finish them together."
Everyone in the dormitory was silent, even Xi Weilu could not help but glance at the bed diagonally opposite in surprise, and then lowered her head to read silently.
Everyone was busy with their own things, no one had time to do anything else, no one bullied her, no one excluded 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 when she left early and came back late, nor did they think that she was a gloomy weirdo who read books all day without talking. The people in Dormitory 401 had long been accustomed to Jiang Xi not attending classes with them, but taking sophomore and junior classes separately. They were very accepting of the fact that there was another person in the dormitory who was as elusive as Jiang Xi. Besides, they were not from the same college, and their class times and locations were different. Wasn't it normal that they couldn't see each other?
Besides, it was the end of the semester, and they were really busy.
Especially their School of Mathematics.
The School of Mathematics was a place full of geniuses. Not to mention Jiang Yu, who started to study the sophomore and junior courses in his freshman year, one-third of their students were competitive students, one-third were special admissions students, and among the remaining one-third, there were the top three students in each province.
For those like them who were neither top students in the province, nor special admissions students, nor competitive students, they were already at the bottom of their school. They needed to spend more time and effort to keep up with these courses, not to mention the elective courses they had to take.
This was their first semester at Peking University, and with a paper king in their dormitory, they still retained the study enthusiasm of their three years in high school. The entire final semester was in a frenzy of study. How could they have the mood and time to engage in any kind of squeezing or small groups?
Every day they were either running to class or running to the library to grab a study seat.
Everyone was reviewing, everyone was preparing for the final exam, everyone was reading, everyone was studying, and no one paid attention to Xi Weilu.
Everyone got along with each other without interfering with each other.
Including Jiang Xi, who had expressed his goodwill to her when she 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 were together, they were busy with their own things at other times.
This gave her tense nerves a break. In such an environment without anyone paying attention and without a sense of pressure, she slept soundly for the first time.
Soon the exam week came, first the exams for public elective courses and general elective courses, and other courses were scheduled from the 19th to the 31st.
There were two days of rest in between, and these two days happened to be the centenary celebration of Kyoto University.
Kyoto University has two school anniversaries. One is the school anniversary on May 4th, which is the same day as the May 4th Youth Day. This day has been grandly celebrated. Many Kyoto University students returned to Kyoto University from all over the country just to participate in Kyoto University's centenary celebration. The other is December 17th, the school anniversary of the old Kyoto University.
The anniversary of the old Beijing University happened to be during the exam week at the end of the year, so it was not appropriate to hold a big anniversary event. However, it was an anniversary after all, and the school also arranged some activities to give the students who were busy with the final exams a chance to breathe. Then came the exams.
Jiang Xi and her friends had a holiday on January 2nd, and Jiang Bai’s birthday was on December 27th. She would definitely be too late to go back, and there was no need to rush back for his birthday. She only sent him a gift a week in advance.
She was on the exam week, so wasn’t Jiang Bai on the exam week? He was also given special care by his mentor, the senior engineer who had retired and was rehired by Shanghai University of Technology. He was also so busy that he didn’t even remember birthdays.
In the Jiang family, who still remembered whose birthday? Jiang Bai had no habit of celebrating birthdays. He himself had never remembered his birthday.
After he finished his exams, he returned to the house that Jiang Xi had bought behind his shop on a cold winter night. When he opened the door, he was greeted by not only the heating in the room, but also a shout of joy: "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 were in the house, but also Jiang Bai's roommates and Xu Xiuli's roommates.
When Xu Xiuli's roommates were invited to Jiang Bai's birthday party, they were so surprised that they almost cried out.
Although Jiang Bai is low-key, he is very popular. When he walks on campus, people can't help but look back at him every day, bumping into other people, bumping into trees, and bumping into flower beds without looking at the road.
Since the TV series "The King's Guard" was broadcast, Jiang Bai has been the most popular character. The fourth male leader of the evil cult 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 innocent eyes look at you, it makes people feel pity and want to pull him into their arms to protect him.
When she smiles, it's like she's covered in light. When she doesn't smile, she feels inexplicably depressed.
In the evening, they all 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. Because too many people used the cosmetics in the crew, she, who has a germaphobia, 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, but they painted their lips red and bright, asking each other if it looked good.
Jiang Bai's roommate was invited by Tong Jingang.
Tong Jingang often came to Shanghai University of Technology. He was a social elite. Jiang Bai was not very familiar with his roommates, but Tong Jingang had already gotten to know them well and treated them all as brothers. When they heard Tong Jingang invite them to Jiang Bai's birthday party, they were all excited to come.
What birthday party? It sounded very fashionable. They had never attended a birthday party before. After receiving the invitation, they took out their most fashionable and beautiful clothes and combed their hair so smooth that a fly could break its legs if it flew over.
He himself was studying sports, so he was not that busy during the exam week. He only invited two of his roommates to come, but Jiang Bai's roommates had to come, because more people would make it more lively and fun. So these boys and girls who were invited by him secretly prepared a surprise birthday party for Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai
's reaction arc was a bit long, and it took him three seconds to react. Today was his birthday.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?" Tong Jingang read the lines from the movie "Stephen Chow" with a beaming face. 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 also spread to the mainland. In many video halls, you can rent the disc of this movie.
Jiang Bai couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, with a restrained smile on his face and his eyes sparkling. He asked them: "How did you know today is my birthday?"
Everyone said in unison: "It was King Kong. King Kong said that today is your birthday and he wants to give you a surprise. We have discussed how to surprise you several days ago. How is it? Is it a surprise?"
Tong Jingang said: "It was our sister who called to ask about your birthday. Then I knew your birthday was coming soon. If our sister hadn't been unable to come back from 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 before, and it was a rare experience for him to give others such a surprise.
He really enjoyed this kind of giving for others, and seeing others' surprised expressions pleased him, making him feel that all his preparations and hard work were worth it.
Jiang Bai looked at the balloons and sparkling colored 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 gratitude was to find an apron, "I'll go cook for you!"
He wanted to cook a big table of delicious food for everyone.
Tong Jingang hurriedly pushed him down on the sofa, "My big birthday star, you are the birthday star today, just stay here, don't worry about it!"
Several girls from Xu Xiuli's dormitory and two boys from Jiang Bai's dormitory cooked a big table of dishes together.
Jiang Bai couldn't sit still in the living room. He felt embarrassed and uncomfortable to let others make such efforts for him while he sat there doing nothing. He always had to get up and go to the kitchen to ask if he needed help. "Let me do it."
He finally got started, put on an apron and cooked dishes in the kitchen.
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 speak much, he responded to everything, which made the girls helping in the kitchen feel their heartbeats speed up again. They looked at each other and cried in their hearts.
All the ingredients were prepared by Tong Jingang. Compared with these students, Tong Jingang, who had been playing minor roles for several years and had also played some roles with lines, could still afford to buy food for a birthday party. All the raw materials for tonight's meal were 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 and looked through the glass door of the kitchen. Seeing the lively living room outside, he was a little bit unbelievable. This was his birthday party. He had never dreamed of such a scene.
Once, 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 calm.
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: "Good boy! I didn't expect that you, who are usually quiet, have such a skill. If I had known that you are so good at cooking, I would have come to your place for a meal!" The person
who spoke was Jiang Bai's roommate.
Jiang Bai was always silent and aloof, and was the favorite student of the professor in their school. In addition, he had filmed several dramas and became completely famous. After class every day, he was either with various machines, or went to his store to buy clothes, or fiddled with his experiments. He rarely went back to the dormitory. But everyone in the dormitory thought he was difficult to get along with and very aloof, and they didn't know him very well.
It was as if the other five people in the dormitory had a group, and he had 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 complimented him, he smiled shyly and asked them to eat more. "Then I will cook for you next time if I am free!"
"It's a deal. You guys are not polite!" The people in his dormitory were all impressed by the delicious food made by Jiang Bai.
These students who usually eat in the cafeteria have not seen so many good wines and good food for a long time. Taking advantage of Jiang Bai's birthday party, they all ate happily. At the end of the cake eating session, Tong Jingang was particularly naughty and smeared a handful of cream on Jiang Bai's face, and then laughed at the cream on his face.
The others also laughed.
Jiang Bai laughed too.
However, they were reluctant to throw the hard-earned cream cake in the faces of their classmates. The boys and girls pooled their money together to buy a big cake that was big enough for so many people. Everyone got a small piece and ate the delicious and sweet cake in their hands happily and contentedly.
Of course, there was another important point. This was Jiang Wu's house, a new house that had only been renovated for half a year. If they dared to smash the cake and spread the cream on Jiang Wu's new house, he was afraid that Jiang Bai would break his legs.
Fortunately, Jiang Wu's house was big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many of them.
Because the final exams were not over yet, the school dormitory had access control. After eating, playing and making noise, they all left before nine o'clock.
Before leaving, Xu Xiuli took out two gifts that she had prepared and gave them to Jiang Bai: "Here, this is a birthday gift from Xing Xing to you."
She handed the two gifts to Jiang Bai, and then left with her roommates smiling.
Her roommates even teased her, asking if she liked Jiang Bai and prepared gifts for him without their knowledge.
Xu Xiuli was so angry that she chased them and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It was a gift sent by his sister, and she asked me to pass it on!"
"Why didn't his sister send the gift 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 pass it on to if not me?"
Her roommates also laughed and said, "It turns out that 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 more!"
There are so many people in the school who like Jiang Bai, but Jiang Bai is a wooden stake that has not yet opened up, a straight man. Many girls have flirted with him. He can't understand the subtle ones at all. He is more shy than them when they understand. The slightly bolder ones muster up the courage to stuff love letters into him, but he has received too many. He didn't read any of them. He stuffed them all into the cardboard box under the bed. The box was full of letters written to him by "fans".
He was detained by the teacher in the laboratory every day to deal with various machines. How could he have time to read the letters?
As for the birthday gift Xu Xiuli gave to Jiang Bai, she knew his birthday and came to his birthday party. It wouldn't be good not to prepare a gift, right? So she prepared a gift for him. It was not something expensive, just a woolen hat from a boutique.
Because she found that Jiang Bo liked to keep his hair short, and his hair was a little longer, but it was cut short again after a while. Winter is cold, so she thought of giving him a hat.
Jiang Xi, on the other hand, gave Jiang Bo a mechanical watch. It was not a famous brand watch, but an ordinary mechanical watch that did not need to change the battery. You just need to wind up the spring every day to keep it running.
Jiang Bai particularly liked this watch, and immediately put it on his wrist without any 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-white watch on his wrist. His face, which was always reserved and smiling, smiled for the first time, his eyes curved, his teeth exposed, and the corners of his lips stretched to the back of his ears:
"Look, this is the birthday present my sister gave me!"
He tried to control himself again and again, but he still couldn't help but say the four words "birthday present" a little louder.
