Chapter 241 The Most Powerful Counterattack
The girl was flipping through a book with her head down, but when she noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, her brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not changing! I've already packed up, spread out the quilt, and hung up my clothes. Why should I move?"
Gu Jiali muttered softly.
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to sleep downstairs? And you told me that it was too noisy upstairs and you couldn't sleep well at night..."
The girl folded her arms and spoke in an aggressive tone.
"Is it okay if I don't want to think about it now? Can't people change their minds?"
"I finally made the bed, and now you want me to move? Whoever wants to move can move, but I'm not moving!"
The dormitory suddenly fell into silence.
Gu Jiali didn't say anything else, her eyes looking a little aggrieved.
Ruan Chuxia was too lazy to pay attention to her. She turned her head and spoke to Jiang Lihong.
"Don't worry about it. It's okay if we don't live together. We're all adults and have our own plans. Besides, we can still hang out together during the holidays. It's not like we won't see each other anymore. And I'm only on this course for six months, which isn't long. If you want to change dorms when I get back, it'll be even more troublesome."
When Jiang Lihong heard this, she thought it made sense and stopped insisting.
"Yes, you are very thoughtful."
She held Ruan Chuxia's hand and reminded her again and again.
"If you're free, please come and see me. Don't just focus on studying. We haven't had dinner together in a long time."
Before leaving, she even copied down Ruan Chuxia's class schedule.
"If we both don't have classes one day, I can come and see you. You're close to the teaching building, just a few steps away."
After Jiang Lihong left, the dormitory returned to peace.
Some people complained that the textbooks were too heavy, while others were busy writing their names on the book covers, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
At this time, the advantages of Ruan Chuxia's table became apparent.
Ruan Chuxia stuffed the books neatly into the cabinet, classifying them according to subject and size.
Finally, she covered it with a tablecloth with white lace and gently smoothed out the wrinkles.
Gu Jiali looked at the table piled with textbooks, her eyes full of envy.
She is not actually short of money, but she has been taught to be frugal since she was a child.
The other people in the dormitory are similar, each with their own difficulties and habits.
A female student who looks to be in her early thirties with dark skin.
When she looked up, she saw the person lying motionless on the upper bunk and asked in confusion.
"Zhang Yunjuan, aren't you going to get the books? It's already afternoon. If you don't go now, I'm afraid even the last set will be taken."
Zhang Yunjuan was still lying on her back on the bed, without even raising her head.
"It's so far, I'm too lazy to move. How much sweat would I have to work just walking to the teaching building in this hot weather? Anyway, I asked Wang Meng to bring it to me, she will be back soon."
The dark-skinned woman was called Zhou Lin, and she frowned.
Gu Jiali felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
It’s only the first day and we’re not familiar with each other yet.
It's a bit too much for Zhang Yunjuan to order others to do things for her as if it were their own thing.
She secretly glanced at Wang Meng's empty bed and felt a little uncomfortable.
Ruan Chuxia was sitting on the edge of the bed by the window, holding a book on "Educational Psychology" in her hand, reading intently.
After hearing what Zhang Yunjuan said, she glanced at the upper bunk indifferently, with no emotion in her eyes.
As he was speaking, the dormitory door was pushed open with a creaky sound.
Wang Meng walked in carrying a pile of books.
There were beads of sweat on her forehead and her cheeks were flushed.
She took a breath.
"Yunjuan, I got your books back. They are all here. I didn't forget anything."
Zhang Yunjuan turned over lazily without even opening her eyelids completely.
"Put it there, thank you."
Wang Meng nodded, turned around and walked back to her bed silently.
Gu Jiali stared at the scene, feeling as if something was blocking her heart.
Wang Meng looks like an honest and dutiful person who doesn't want to cause trouble.
But now he is being ordered around like this, which is really heartbreaking.
She hesitated for a moment, walked over, and whispered, "Wang Meng, are you tired? You've walked such a long way and carried so many books. Why don't you drink some water and take a break? I have some mineral water here."
Wang Meng smiled at her: "It's okay, I brought it back on the way, it's not a big deal."
Gu Jiali couldn't persuade him any further and handed the water over: "Then at least drink some water, don't get a heatstroke."
Wang Meng took the water and thanked him again.
Zhang Yunjuan sneered, "You're such a fussy person. When did you become so nosy?"
Then, she turned around and said to Wang Meng casually, "Hey, are you going to the cafeteria later? Bring some food with you and help me. I don't want it to be too crowded."
Wang Meng was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head gently: "I'm not going. I brought steamed buns and pickles, enough to eat."
After hearing this, Zhang Yunjuan's face suddenly darkened.
"Forget it, I'll go by myself."
She slowly got up from the bed.
She put on her cotton slippers and walked towards the door.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something, then turned around and glanced at Ruan Chuxia coldly.
"Ruan Chuxia, isn't your boyfriend quite impressive? I heard he has a strong background. How come he can't even afford to buy you a decent desk? Look at this broken desk, the paint is peeling, the corners are warped, how can it match your outfit?"
Ruan Chuxia was reading a book with her head down, without even moving her eyelids.
She didn't want to waste time talking to someone like Zhang Yunjuan.
Silence is the most powerful counterattack.
She stood at the door and saw that Ruan Chuxia had no reaction. She felt uncomfortable as if she was pricked by a needle.
What are you showing off for?
Dressed beautifully, he sat in front of that shabby table and acted noble.
If her mother hadn't warned her repeatedly, she would have found an opportunity to complain to her boss long ago.
There was a loud "bang" suddenly, and the door panel hit the door frame heavily.
Gu Jiali was startled by the sudden noise.
"Why is this guy so angry? Why did he have to bang the door so loudly? It's really scary."
Wang Meng sat quietly on the edge of her bed with her head lowered.
She carefully took a bite of the steamed bun and chewed it in small bites with pickles.
Zhou Lin was sitting on her bed and accidentally caught a glimpse of Wang Meng eating.
Her heart softened: "Drink some water? I have some hot water here, freshly boiled."
Wang Meng shook her head and replied softly, "No, thank you, Zhou Lin."
She is the poorest one in the dormitory and lives on a meager scholarship every month.
She never asks for help, and is even less willing to accept other people's kindness easily.
A crisp bell rang from the direction of the teaching building.
That was the bell for the end of get out of class, reminding students that they could go to the cafeteria.
When Gu Jiali heard the bell, she immediately jumped up from her seat.
She suddenly cried out in surprise: "Oh! Hurry up, get out of class is over! Ruan Chuxia, are you going to the cafeteria? There will be no food if you are late!"
Ruan Chuxia nodded gently: "Let's go together."
The two of them jogged all the way to the cafeteria entrance.
Fortunately, it was still early and there were not many people queuing.
At that time, food depended on meal tickets, which were distributed to each person in a fixed amount every month.
