Xu Manman took the letter that Chen Ming had sent her last time and dialed the number directly from the phone next to the sofa.
A man answered the phone. Chen Ming was not in the dormitory at that time. Xu Manman left a message and agreed to call again at 10 o'clock the next morning before hanging up.
Because of the time difference, it is early morning in China now, so it is not convenient to contact Beijing.
Xu Manman stayed in the apartment until five in the afternoon, finished her homework for the day, had dinner early, and then went to the dormitory with her bag.
The next day, communication with the dormitory manager went smoothly. After Xu Manman finished her last class of the day, she went straight back to the dormitory to pack her things.
Caroline happened to be in the dormitory. At first, she thought Xu Manman was just packing her things, but until she took out her suitcase, her cold expression was broken. "Molly, what are you doing?"
"I'm moving out. I'm renting an apartment nearby."
"Why now?" Normally, you have to pay accommodation fees when applying for student dormitories, and you have to pay for the entire semester at one time. If you withdraw midway, it will be considered a breach of contract, and the remaining money will not be refunded. Therefore, few people will move out midway. At most, they will apply to change beds because they are unhappy with their roommates.
Caroline tried to recall. Although she didn't talk much to her roommate, it didn't make her feel unhappy, right?
Seeing Caroline's serious expression, Xu Manman felt that she should come up with a suitable excuse. "It's my own problem. I'm used to getting up early and going to bed early, and now I have a separate room in the apartment I rent."
Caroline nodded, not quite understanding. Private space was indeed important. She was not used to living with others at first, but there was no other way because the cost of a double dormitory was cheaper.
Xu Manman packed her suitcase and went out. Joseline and Chaya, who were chatting in the living room, also looked up at her.
When Joselin saw the suitcase in Xu Manman's hand, she exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Dear Molly, where are you going?"
"I'm moving out."
Chaya sent a big question mark, "Why?"
Before Xu Manman could answer, Caroline, who came out behind her, said, "Molly needs her own space. She's not used to living with others."
Chaya asked again, "Which dormitory did Molly move to? Leave me the address and I'll come visit you later."
“I rented an apartment off campus.”
Chaya and Joseline looked at each other and exclaimed in unison, "What? Molly is moving out of the dormitory??"
Xu Manman nodded, "Yes."
Joselin covered her chest exaggeratedly, "Then we won't be able to see the lovely Molly in the dormitory anymore?"
"I'll come back to play with you guys when I have time."
At this time, Chaya clapped his hands and said, "Molly is leaving, we should give her a farewell party."
When Joseline heard this word, she immediately cheered up, "Yeah, Patty, that's a good idea."
The two of them enthusiastically began to discuss the time and details of the party. Xu Manman, the "protagonist", had no time to talk at all. Caroline joined their discussion at some point.
I'm afraid I can't leave at this time, so Xu Manman put the suitcase in the corner, opened the refrigerator and poured herself a glass of orange juice.
An hour later, the rules for Xu Manman's farewell to Patty were finally discussed.
Josephine pulled the book from her hand and asked, "Molly, what do you think?"
Xu Manman was a little confused. What was going on? She had only listened to the beginning and then went back to reading. She didn't know what they were discussing yet.
Chaya was still a bit more patient and introduced Xu Manman, "Tomorrow is Saturday, we will hold a party here tonight, but boys can't stay overnight here, so only girls can be invited.
We plan to invite students who live in the same building. Molly, if you have classmates living here, you can invite them as well.”
Josephine then added, "I can make apple pie, Chaya can make cake, and Livia can make curry meatballs. We will make the food. We just need to buy some ingredients and drinks tomorrow.
There seem to be some decorations left over from last Christmas around the house, so there’s no need to buy these.”
Xu Manman took the initiative to accept this task, "Then I'll go shopping tomorrow. Make a list of the ingredients you need."
Caroline said from the side, "I don't have classes tomorrow, Molly, I'll go with you."
"Okay." Then Xiao Jin won't need to accompany me tomorrow. It's just right for the two of us to move more things back.
