After returning from the small supermarket, Wei Lai stood in the dormitory corridor and shook off most of the rain on his raincoat.
The raincoat belonged to Qiang Ming, and he would have to hang it in the dormitory to dry before putting it away. He didn't want the dormitory floor to be covered with water stains.
That guy Wang Zi hasn't come back yet. It's his job to clean the house tonight, so there's no need to cause trouble for himself.
After doing all this, Wei Lai walked to the dormitory door and opened it.
An Ruoyan and Qiang Ming were playing poker out of boredom.
"Wei Lai, do you want to come over and play Landlord with us? The three of us can play Landlord."
"Let me finish my shower first... By the way, Qiang Ming, I'll give you my raincoat back. Ruoyan, this is your umbrella."
After handing the things to the two people in the dormitory, Wei Lai walked to the bed, put Qingting's meal card away first, and turned around to get the washbasin and towel.
"How can I pay for the umbrella? All I have left is money for the bus."
After An Ruoyan got the umbrella, he suddenly remembered that he had no change on him. After knowing that he had to eat and buy things at school, his parents put all the money they gave him into the meal card, and only gave him the round-trip fare when he came.
"Just treat me to two meals. Umbrellas in the school supermarket are not expensive." Wei Lai took a face plate and a towel and took the clothes that An Ruoyan had put away for him.
"Okay, then I'll treat you to dinner tonight... Qiang Ming, let's continue playing."
"Speaking of dinner, it's almost time to eat now, but the rain hasn't stopped outside."
"Wait until the rain subsides before going. I don't know what's causing this strong wind outside."
"It's a hurricane that's coming ashore and will last all night. When I arrived, the buses were almost out of service."
Qiang Ming and An Ruoyan explained while playing cards.
Hearing his words, An Ruoyan quickly took out her cell phone and turned it on, and received two text messages in a row.
One was a blue warning text message sent by the city flood control center at noon, and the other was a yellow warning text message sent in the afternoon.
"I was also saying why the wind today is so much stronger than the previous two days."
"I heard that the hurricane suddenly changed direction at noon. I was worried that classes would be suspended the next day, so I stayed in front of the TV to watch the reports. I only rushed over when I saw that the hurricane was weakening."
Qiang Ming said as he threw out two twos from his hand.
An Ruoyan looked at the two kings and a bunch of miscellaneous cards in his hand, shook his head and said, "I can't afford it."
"Three to ten in a row, I win." Qiang Ming threw the cards in his hand and said with a relaxed look.
"What luck." An Ruoyan took a look at the idle deck of cards next to her, which happened to match her own cards, and couldn't help but sigh.
Playing Landlord between two people really depends on luck. If you don't have the landlord card, you lose, and if you have the landlord card, you still lose.
"Wei Lai, please come out quickly. We can't play Landlord with just two of us."
"Got it, right away."
Wei Lai responded from the bathroom and began to take off his clothes.
Taking a bath is not a magic trick. How can you finish bathing as soon as you get in? An Ruoyan must have lost stupidly.
…
The sudden hurricane caught everyone off guard, but fortunately it was not a strong one.
After it got completely dark, it gradually became smaller.
Because of the hurricane, the cafeteria was closed, so the students in the dormitory could only go to the small supermarket to buy some food to fill their stomachs.
It was still raining, but the wind had died down a lot, and the umbrella could barely block the wind and rain.
Since she had promised to treat Wei Lai to a meal, An Ruoyan didn't say much. She took Qiang Ming to a small supermarket to buy food and also prepared to buy an extra portion for him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Lai came to the gate of the girls' dormitory with an umbrella and waited for Qingting to come out.
[Wei Lai]: Xiaoting, I'm here, waiting for you at the gate.
[Qingting]: Okay, I also want to leave the dormitory with my roommates and go to the supermarket to buy food.
[Wei Lai]: If I had known that the cafeteria was closed today, you wouldn’t have to ask me to get your meal card for you. You still have to go to the supermarket anyway.
[Qingting]: What's wrong? Do you regret helping me get something? Do you want me to treat you to a meal to make it up to you?
[Wei Lai]: No need, I bought an umbrella for my roommate. He didn’t bring any cash, so he treated me to a meal to make up for it.
After sending the last text message, Qingting did not reply to his text messages again.
Wei Lai stood in the wind and rain, holding the umbrella around his neck, looking at his phone and waiting for a while. Qingting and three other girls appeared at the door of the dormitory building.
When the three girls saw Wei Lai, they acted as if they didn't see him and walked past him talking and laughing, which made Wei Lai, who wanted to say hello, feel very embarrassed and his hands were frozen in the air.
Suddenly, a pair of soft hands rested on his hands. He turned around and saw Qingting holding an umbrella in the same way.
"Are you going to help me down the stairs? That's quite the gentleman."
Qingting said this, grabbed Wei Lai's hand, and jumped directly down from the two steps.
Then I took his hand and followed him to the small supermarket.
"Xiaoting, you're not trying to tease me again, are you? Didn't I text you and tell you I didn't need you to treat me to a meal? I just came to give you my meal card."
"Sorry, my phone is out of battery and I didn't have time to go to the dormitory to get a power bank, so I don't know." Qingting shook the phone in her hand, and the smile on her face seemed to be just as she said.
Qingting took her meal card from Wei Lai's hand and then let go of her hand.
"Then let me tell you again, I'm buying an umbrella for my roommate, and he's planning to treat me to something. We should be almost at the supermarket by now, so you don't have to treat me."
"So? Don't you want to go to the supermarket with me?" Qingting bent down and got into Wei Lai's umbrella, looking up at him curiously.
Under the protection of two umbrellas, Wei Lai felt inexplicably uneasy when Qingting looked at him like this.
He wanted to go in his heart, but when he thought of what the female cashier said to him today, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
