Xia Xi was lucky enough. As soon as he entered the dormitory building, it started to rain behind him. The blue-gray checkered bricks were soaked by the raindrops as big as beans in an instant.
When she entered the dormitory, Xia Xi slumped into a chair like a ball of mud. On the table in front of her was a bowl of dragon beard noodles, with steam coming out of the bag that was not tied tightly.
"Thanks. How much is it? I'll transfer it to you." Xia Xi grabbed the phone and shook it at Wu Qinglu.
Wu Qinglu: "Forget it, it's not much."
Xia Xi insisted on transferring the money, so Wu Qinglu had no choice but to agree to five yuan. Xia Xi then sent a red envelope. Wu Qinglu opened it and saw that she had given him twenty yuan, and that the rest would be used to buy her a cup of milk tea.
Wu Qinglu was speechless. This person was really...
Xia Xi opened the plastic bag and pulled out a pair of disposable chopsticks. The dragon beard noodles were light, with only vegetables and eggs as toppings. Cooked to her specifications, they were perfectly soft, so they broke apart easily without chewing.
She still had no appetite, probably because she was hungry, and slowly ate half a bowl.
"Xixi, why does Professor Li want to see you?" Zhao Lei came out of the bathroom. She had just washed her hair, and water was dripping from the ends of her hair. She wrapped her hair with a dry towel and wiped it.
Xia Xi was in a bad mood when she mentioned this. Normally, she would have spoken out and even scolded the person who reported her. But now, she was not motivated and said in a general way, "It was just a little bit of a story. It's nothing serious."
Zhao Lei didn't ask any further questions and reminded her not to forget to take the medicine after dinner.
Xia Xi hummed, and insisted on stuffing the remaining half bowl of noodles into his stomach. He poured a cup of hot water and let it cool. After waiting for half an hour, he took out a few pills, put them in his mouth, and swallowed them with warm water.
She went to the bathroom, washed her face, and climbed into bed to sleep.
Fortunately, the afternoon classes were the last two periods, so she had plenty of time to rest.
Seeing Xia Xi lying down, the noises of the other people in the dormitory consciously became lower.
Zhao Lei didn't even blow-dry her hair. Instead, she wiped it with several towels and whispered to Wang Qiuyu in the bathroom, "Why do I feel like Xixi's mood isn't right? She wasn't like this last night. Could it be that her reaction time is too long and she's just starting to feel sad now?"
Wang Qiuyu said, "Maybe it's because of your illness. Think about it, when you're sick, can you be in a good mood?"
"That's true." Zhao Lei continued to wipe her hair.

The next day, Xia Xi's cold was almost healed. He no longer had a fever and only had a runny nose and a cough.
Her nose is always red from constant blowing, and even the two large bags of tissues in her canvas bag aren't always enough. She speaks with a nasal voice: "My nose hurts so much."
"My mom said that the runny nose means the cold is almost gone. If we can hold on for a few more days, we'll be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks." Zhao Lei patted her forehead and comforted her like a baby.
After the rain, the weather became even colder. Xia Xi dressed warmly, wearing a black woolen base sweater, a dark gray sweater vest, and a lapel short plush coat in a milk-coffee color.
The whole person was wrapped up like a bear.
Today is Thursday, which is very nice because there is no early morning rush and I can sit down and have a leisurely breakfast.
Xia Xi ordered tofu pudding, meat buns, and an egg-filled pancake, and asked for an extra sausage - the fact that she hadn't recovered from her cold didn't stop her from enjoying delicious food.
Seeing that Xia Xi had regained her former vitality, Zhao Lei finally felt relieved. She was really afraid that the confession and a severe cold would make Xia Xi unable to recover.
Xia Xi wiped her nose while eating, feeling a bit annoyed. Suddenly, a shadow covered her eyes, blocking out some of the light. Xia Xi raised her eyes from the fragrant tofu pudding bowl and saw a handsome face magnified.
Her grip loosened, the porcelain spoon fell into the bowl, and she leaned back slightly: "Su Yuanjia?"
"It's me." Su Yuanjia, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, smiled, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth that could be used in a toothpaste commercial. His voice was clear and pleasant. "I heard you were sick. Are you feeling better?"
Xia Xi responded generously: "It's much better now."
Su Yuanjia pulled the shoulder bag in front of him, unzipped it, and took out a light purple thermos cup from it: "I made some ginger soup for you. If you have nothing to do, drink a few sips. It will drive away the cold and is good for people with colds."
"Really, there's no need." Xia Xi was embarrassed.
"It's already cooked." Su Yuanjia used that trick again, giving the food and running away. As he ran backwards, he pointed at the thermos cup on the table and said, "Don't worry about drinking it. I bought a new cup and washed it."
Xia Xi looked at her roommates helplessly and found that they were looking at her with ambiguous expressions.
"What's with that expression on your face?" Xia Xi asked.
"The expression on the face of a handsome guy chasing a beautiful girl." Zhao Lei concluded her speech.
Xia Xi: “…”
Several people who walked in from another entrance of the cafeteria happened to see Su Yuanjia handing a thermos cup to Xia Xi. They all turned their eyes to Xu Yanfeng in the middle, believing that he had seen it too.
Chen Mian put his hands in his pockets and shook his head, sighing, "Xia Xi was always around you before, I almost forgot she was the campus belle. Pretty enough, I heard she came from a well-off family. Now everyone knows her confession failed, and those boys who admired her are definitely chasing her one after another."
"You are right. I saw boys in several groups saying that they wanted to pursue Xia Xi and were asking for her contact information everywhere." Fang Huaiyuan echoed him.
Chen Mian: "That was the guy who just confessed his love to Xia Xi in the square with a rose in his hand. What was his name, Su Yuanjia? Yes, that's the name. He's the most handsome boy in the Computer Science Department."
Fang Huaiyuan: "They say that a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man. I wonder if Su Yuanjia can win over Xia Xi."
Chen Mian: "I think there's hope."
The two looked at each other, and then looked at Xu Yanfeng at the same time.
