"Me too. How can you bring your child to the dormitory? It's so inappropriate."
"She had no choice. I heard her husband is gone, and she's raising the child alone." Yao Anan didn't know where she got this information from. "But, she was able to get into university despite this situation. I really admire her for that."
"That's true." The two nodded in agreement.
"Come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash up."
"Okay, I'll get the stuff."
The three girls walked towards the washroom together. As soon as they arrived, they saw several layers of people surrounding the washroom, and the sound of a child crying could be heard from the crowd.
"Bad man, bad woman, let me go!"
The three of them were cheered up. What happened?
They quickly squeezed in to see what was going on, and saw their mysterious roommate squatting on the ground with a little boy standing in front of him. He looked to be no more than five or six years old. The weather in Beijing was still a bit cold at that time, but he was wearing thin clothes and was crying sadly. His shoulders were shaking, and he looked really pitiful.
Su Qingyun grabbed him with one hand, preventing him from moving.
The three of them looked at each other. What was going on?
"Okay, stop crying." Su Qingyun said helplessly, "I told you it's dangerous down there. If you don't come out by yourself, I can only help you out."
She didn't expect that when she went to the bathroom to wash up, she would find a child.
Five minutes ago, Su Qingyun came to the bathroom to wash up. There were not many people at this time, so she didn't pay attention to the people coming and going. But when she was standing at the sink brushing her teeth, she felt something was wrong.
There seemed to be some rustling noises under the sink.
Su Qingyun stopped brushing her teeth and listened carefully. She thought it was the movement of a mouse, but unexpectedly she heard very shallow breathing sounds.
She frowned, lowered her head, and squatted to look at the source of the sound.
There were many brightly colored plastic buckets under the sink, and at that moment, the breathing stopped.
Su Qingyun reached out and took away the plastic bucket. A little boy was looking at her in horror with his mouth covered.
She was also shocked. Where did this child come from?
"Whose child are you? What are you doing hiding in there? Come out quickly." Su Qingyun called him out.
This is the water room, and there are many people coming and going to fetch water. If someone is not careful and the boiling hot water spills out, or if something unexpected happens, the child can easily be accidentally injured. He is wearing such thin clothes, so be careful not to catch a cold.
The boy looked at her warily, didn't move, and shrank back inside.
"Come out quickly." Su Qingyun said patiently, "It's dangerous in here."
Seeing that the boy still didn't move, Su Qingyun ran out of patience and reached out to pull him out. But the boy howled and started crying.
More and more people gathered around him. Su Qingyun looked at him with a headache. "I told you it's dangerous down there. Do you understand me?"
"Who are your parents? Who asked you to hide in there?"
"Who told you... to pull me out? I was playing hide-and-seek with my mom here, and she said no... she didn't allow me to come out. Let me go!" the little boy sobbed.
Su Qingyun frowned. Did his mother ask him to hide here?
She looked at the crowd and asked, "Does anyone know whose child this is?"
Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.
"Holy crap!" Yao Anan saw the boy's face clearly and screamed, "Isn't this He Hua's son? Why is he here?"
She was there when there was a quarrel in the dormitory next door in the afternoon, so she recognized the child. Besides, it was quite rare to see a little boy appear in this girls' dormitory.
Su Qingyun had sharp ears and heard it. She looked at Yao Anan and asked, "Anan, do you know who his mother is?"
"I know." This was the first time Su Qingyun took the initiative to talk to her. Yao Anan was inexplicably flattered. "It's He Hua from the dormitory next to us."
The child of the neighboring dormitory? Su Qingyun was stunned. He had never expected this.
The little boy stopped crying when he heard He Hua's name, but his eyes were still watery. Su Qingyun felt a little softened.
"Your mother's name is He Hua?"
The boy hesitated and nodded.
"Can I take you to find her?" Su Qingyun had no choice but to do this. He couldn't really leave the child here.
"No." A hint of excitement flashed in the little boy's eyes, but he still refused.
His mother told him to hide here and he couldn't leave.
Su Qingyun stared at him, and her head hurt even more.
