Chapter 132 Emotions were ignited
The two chatted and laughed as they went upstairs back to their dormitory.
Before even reaching the dormitory entrance, Ye Meiling had already opened the packet of instant noodles in her hand.
These instant noodles, which cost 50 cents a pack, come in an orange-yellow package and contain only one seasoning packet.
It can be eaten by soaking it in hot water or by eating it dry.
When eating it dry, crush the instant noodles, pour in the seasoning packet, shake well, and it's ready to eat.
Shen Xuewei usually keeps a few packs in her dormitory and will eat one when she gets hungry.
As her health improved, her appetite also grew.
The school food was indescribable.
It wasn't tasty, but another problem was that I felt very full right after eating, but after less than an hour or two, it was as if I hadn't eaten at all, and my stomach was growling with hunger.
She wouldn't have this feeling when she eats food at home.
She is eleven years old now, which is a crucial time for her growth spurt and height development.
How can you grow taller if you're hungry all day?
We should prepare more food so we can eat something whenever we feel a little hungry.
After running, she was covered in sweat, which clung to her clothes and skin, making her quite uncomfortable.
Back in her dorm, she threw her things on the bed, rummaged through her suitcase for a set of clothes, and then took her towel to the bathroom.
She filled the bucket with water, took off her clothes, wet a towel, and wiped herself down.
It's cold, and when we return to school on Sundays, there's no hot water in the cafeteria's water room. Washing with cold water can easily lead to catching a cold, so we just wipe ourselves down as a way of cleaning.
After wiping the clothes, she also washed them and hung them out to dry in the hallway.
After brushing her teeth and finishing all that, she returned to her bed, munched on bread, and took out the romance magazines she had bought earlier to read.
Ye Meiling poked her through the mosquito net and whispered, "Weiwei, can I borrow one to read? I'll definitely return it to you before lights out."
Shen Xuewei glanced at her watch; it was already 9:51, less than ten minutes before lights out. What could she possibly watch in that little time?
She handed him a book, saying, "I'll lend it to you for a week, but you can only read it in your dorm and you can't take it to the classroom."
Teachers don't like girls in their classes reading romance magazines and novels.
If I see it in class, I will confiscate it every time I see it.
Ye Meiling nodded happily, "I understand, I definitely won't bring it to class, I'll just watch it in bed."
Once she had the book in her hands, she flipped through it with obvious delight. Before getting to the bottom of it, she turned to Shen Xuewei and said:
"Weiwei, I'll get you lunch this week."
The reason I didn't help with the afternoon meal was because we needed to get both food and water, so we had to split up and help each other...
Shen Xuewei didn't stand on ceremony with her and simply counted out five meal tickets and placed them with her.
"Okay, I'll leave the meal ticket with you for now. My lunches this week depend on you."
Ye Meiling patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me."
The two fell silent again, each engrossed in their novels.
At 10 p.m., as the school's break bell rang, the dormitory lights went out as scheduled.
Both of them put down their books, closed their eyes, and fell asleep.
Before the dormitory inspector arrived, Ye Meiling opened her eyes again and whispered to Shen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, do you remember that Bieyang magazine you showed me last time?"
The two lay side by side, heads close together, making it easy for them to whisper secrets to each other.
Shen Xuewei didn't even open her eyes, and asked lazily, "I remember, wasn't that two months ago?"
Yunli would send Bie Yang a copy of every issue of her fiction magazine that was published, as long as it featured a novel she had written.
Shen Xuewei doesn't actually buy many novel magazines; most of them are sent to her by editors she works with.
She'll naturally find some that appeal to her.
When she doesn't watch it much, if a friend asks to borrow it, she will lend it out to a close friend.
Although Ye Meiling lowered her voice, one could still hear the excitement and regret in her tone.
"Let me tell you, that magazine I borrowed from you before, there was a novel in it, I don't remember the name, the female lead was called Xiang Wanmei, it was really good, I even looked up the author's name..."
She tried hard to recall, "It seems to be called something like 'Pen'... The female protagonist has a crush on someone, so she wants to become better and stand in front of the male protagonist, starting from a small county town and moving to a big city..."
"Sigh, she tried so hard, but in the end, the person she wanted to be with couldn't be with her, leaving only regret in the past..."
Shen Xuewei opened her eyes and listened to Ye Meiling's words, feeling both happy and awkward.
This was the first time in real life that someone had praised the characters she created... and herself.
She listened attentively to Ye Meiling's words, and only spoke after she finished:
"Everyone has some regrets in their life, more or less. She did not end up with the person she loved, but in the process, she gradually transformed into a better version of herself."
"From striving for others to striving for herself. No matter the final outcome, as long as it is her own firm choice, there is no right or wrong, and it is worthwhile."
Ye Meiling seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to.
"What you said seems to make a lot of sense..."
As expected of someone who excels at studying, they can spout off one logical argument after another, and they all sound perfectly reasonable.
She was about to speak again when footsteps slowly approached from outside the corridor.
The dormitory supervisor has arrived.
She quickly rolled up the blanket, closed her eyes, and stopped talking to Shen Xuewei.
The whispers in the dormitory fell completely silent before the dormitory supervisor arrived.
The teacher on patrol walked to the end of the corridor, then came back and went up the stairs to the next floor.
After she slowly walked away, the sound of voices could be heard sporadically coming from the dormitory, and some people got up to go to the toilet.
Undisturbed by the noise, Shen Xuewei listened to the teacher's footsteps fading into the distance and closed her eyes to count.
Within minutes, the count stopped and I was overcome with sleepiness.
Ye Meiling was talking excitedly with Shen Xuewei when the teacher left. She got out of bed to use the restroom, but still wanted to talk to Shen Xuewei.
He called out softly twice, but Shen Xuewei did not respond at all.
She leaned closer and saw that Shen Xuewei was already fast asleep.
The next morning, after morning reading and exercises, Shen Xuewei ran to the school gate to see if Chen Fangqiu had arrived.
She had just poked her head out when a large hand blocked her back.
"What are you looking at? Isn't your teacher going to meet your parents? Come on, take me to meet your teacher. I'll definitely have a good talk with her."
Shen Xuewei knew that an unparalleled excitement was about to unfold, and like hot oil being poured into water, her heart was also boiling.
Seven or eight minutes later, Chen Fangqiu, who had agreed to have a good talk with the teacher, was instantly triggered by Teacher Xue's words, "Your child is selfish and doesn't care about the interests of the class. He won't amount to anything in the future."
