Chapter 75: Shaking People “Hiss—why do I feel like this guy looks familiar…
This situation was so unexpected that Yu Xiang was stunned for five seconds before he realized what the instructor was saying.
He didn't dare move, so he could only lower his eyes awkwardly and explain, "Um... I didn't wear sunscreen."
I got up too late in the morning, and I don't usually have the habit of applying this, so I remembered it after I rushed out. I thought he wouldn't be sunburned in the morning, so I thought I could apply it in the afternoon.
The instructor was clearly unconvinced: "Really? Are you naturally this white?"
Yu Xiang: "Yeah, a little whiter."
And even if you apply it, it shouldn't leave any white spots. This sunscreen was chosen by the great master Jiang Daxue after a lot of research and evaluation. He carefully selected it after comparing prices from three different brands for a long time, and he specially chose the colorless kind.
"You have a great foundation, then. You're tall and handsome," the instructor complimented him, but the last part of his sentence wasn't a good one. "Don't worry, you'll be three shades darker after this training."
Yu Xiang was speechless: “…”Thank you.
After twenty minutes that seemed like an eternity, everyone finally got a chance to rest in the shade.
However, the rest time was quite short. They only had time to drink some water before they were called back again by the life-threatening assembly whistle.
"Now let's talk about housekeeping. After the on-site teaching is over, you'll have the rest of the morning to clean up your rooms. There will be an inspection at noon."
Upon hearing the news, the whole class couldn't help but cheer - for them now, tidying up their rooms means they don't have to stay in the sun or stand at attention, and they can even enjoy the air conditioning in the dormitory and go directly to eat when they are hungry.
However, the instructor's next words poured cold water on them: "You are not allowed to leave the dormitory if you fail the inspection."
The low cry of joy immediately turned into a wail of grief and anger.
An hour later.
"No, isn't this tofu block up to standard? I'm really at a loss. Is the instructor really targeting us?" The four people in Yu Xiang's dormitory, including him, sat together and looked at each other.
Just a few minutes ago, the instructor who came to inspect their dormitory's housekeeping for the third time ruthlessly rejected it because their quilts were not folded up to standard.
"I've tried every remedy online. Hey, Li Mingsheng, you're quite the social type. Why don't you go to the girls' dorm and borrow one of their hair curlers and iron the edges?" Chen Jianmin scratched his hair irritably, making his naturally curly hair even wilder. "Otherwise, we're really going to be stuck in this dorm to death."
"How can that be! I have a girlfriend. If she knew I went to the girls' dormitory, she would be jealous." Li Mingsheng's eyes widened and he refused without thinking.
"Aren't you and your girlfriend in different places? She won't know unless you and I tell her. Besides, she will definitely understand our legitimate needs." Chen Jianmin continued to encourage him.
Li Mingsheng shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, if you want to go, go by yourself."
"Oh, I'm socially anxious."
Yu Xiang suddenly thought of something when he heard that. He glanced at Chen Jianmin and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you sure you didn't get blocked by the dorm manager because you frequently hung out downstairs of the girls' dormitory the past two days?"
Li Mingsheng keenly smelled the scent of gossip: "Is this true? There's such a thing? How come I didn't know about it?"
Chen Jianmin turned his face away guiltily: "Xiao Yu, don't talk nonsense, I don't have any, the dormitory manager likes me very much..."
"That's perfect. Since the dorm manager likes you so much, I'm sure she'll let you in." Li Mingsheng winked at him.
"These two are not the same thing... Never mind, I was definitely blocked." Chen Jianmin had no choice but to admit it, but he felt extremely wronged. "I just wanted to go and snag the girl I fell in love with at first sight on the first day of school. Who knew that before I could snag her, the aunt mistook me for a pervert trying to sneak into the girls' dormitory and do something bad? She rushed out with a broom in hand and tried to beat me away."
"Hahahahahaha!!! Oh my god, you're really going to make me die of laughter...but why am I the only one who doesn't know?"
Chen Jianmin couldn't stand it any longer: "Should I tell the whole dormitory about such a shameful thing?"
Li Mingsheng: "Then how did Xiaoyu know?"
Before Chen Jianmin could answer, Yu Xiang took the initiative to explain, "Actually, he let it slip when he came back that day, but you were chatting on the phone with your boyfriend and didn't hear it."
"Sou gau, alright." Li Mingsheng nodded reluctantly. "Then back to the original topic, who's going to borrow it?"
He then turned his gaze to another person in the dormitory: "Tao Yu, you go? Aren't you popular?"
The boy named Tao Yu was startled and looked embarrassed: "Should I say it or not... Actually, I went with Jianmin."
Li Mingsheng was confused for a moment: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Yu Xiang kindly translated for him: "It means he has also been blocked by the dormitory management."
"No, you two really are... Where's the shame for Dormitory 407?" Li Mingsheng looked disappointed, placing his final hope on Yu Xiang. "Then it seems we have no choice but to ask Comrade Xiao Yu, our treasure of the dormitory, to sacrifice his looks. You're so handsome, so harmless, and so healthy, so there's no problem, right?"
"I—" Yu Xiang was about to say something when the phone on the table beeped, "Wait a moment."
He walked straight over and picked up the phone, and found that it was a message from Jiang Ci, who was basically asking him if he had passed the examination and whether he wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat together.
When he saw the name, he immediately had an idea. He turned around and called out to his roommates who were still standing there in a daze: "Maybe we can get someone to help."
"Call someone? Who? I just checked, none of our neighbors have been liberated. We can't rely on them." Tao Yu waved his hand helplessly, "Or do you have other acquaintances?"
"Let me ask first." Yu Xiang's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously due to excitement, and even his typing fingers were trembling slightly.
He didn't get straight to the point, but instead chose to ask tentatively, "Has your dormitory passed the housekeeping inspection?"
Jiang Ci replied with a "hmm" immediately.
Yu Xiang was not surprised by this answer, so he simply said: Can you come and help me?
If it were before, Jiang Ci would probably tease him a few times, and Yu Xiang would be ready to argue with him, but this time Jiang Ci didn't say much, just replied with a neat and clear "Wait for me".
It went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it for a moment.
I thought there would be at least a response like, "Why didn't you just tell me this time that you could do it?", but I didn't expect it to be so straightforward.
"How's it going? Did you get someone? Is it reliable?"
As soon as Yu Xiang put down his phone and looked up, he met three faces looking at him eagerly.
"It's done." Yu Xiang gave them an "OK" gesture. "I'm not sure if it's reliable, but let's give it a try."
After a while, there was a knock on their dormitory door.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Ci was met with four different pairs of eyes: "...Hello."
"Why are you here so soon?" Yu Xiang moved aside to let Jiang Ci in. "I thought it would take at least seven or eight minutes."
"It's just downstairs from your dormitory." Jiang Ci explained.
"Is this the hope of our nation that our Xiao Yu has brought? How come he's so handsome? Handsome guys make friends with handsome guys too... Wait, Xiao Yu, he's not your brother, is he?" Li Mingsheng looked at Jiang Ci curiously, then looked at Yu Xiang, "Would you like to introduce him?"
"Hiss - why do I feel like this guy looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere?" Chen Jianmin said thoughtfully, touching his chin.
Li Mingsheng gave him a disdainful look. "What a clichéd way to start a conversation. Can't you try something a little different?"
"No, I really think I've seen him somewhere before... I know! He's the student representative from Q University who was on the stage this morning!"
"Ah?!" Li Mingsheng and Tao Yu exclaimed at the same time.
"Well, let me introduce you briefly. This person is..." Yu Xiang considered his words, then noticed Jiang Ci was also looking at him. He hesitated for a moment, "He grew up with me..."
Chen Jianmin: "Brother?"
Li Mingsheng: "Brother?"
Tao Yu: "Good friend?"
Yu Xiang bit her lower lip unconsciously and looked at him for his opinion.
However, Jiang Ci only responded with a look that said "You decide for yourself".
But the current situation was clearly not suitable for making things too clear, as they had more important things to do. So he closed his eyes and made up his mind, deciding to change the subject: "Well, let's put the introduction aside for now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway."
"That makes sense, that makes sense. This guy—this guy—" Li Mingsheng was halfway through when he remembered that he didn't know Jiang Ci's name yet. He was also afraid that he would know that he hadn't listened carefully to the speech that morning. After a pause, he suddenly had an idea. "This guy looks very reliable. We really have no other choice. You must help us!"
Jiang Ci glanced around and immediately saw the problem: "Is it the quilt?"
"Right, right." Tao Yu nodded repeatedly. "The instructor came three times, and each time he said the tofu blocks were not folded well, but we have tried our best. We almost went to the girls' dormitory to borrow a curling iron just now."
"Not really." Jiang Ci replied calmly, then gave Yu Xiang a look, who immediately understood, and the two of them came to Yu Xiang's bed together.
Yu Xiang went up from the closet, took down his quilt and placed it on the desk.
"Is the floor in your dormitory clean?" Jiang Ci asked.
"It's clean. I just mopped the floor half an hour ago." Yu Xiang replied.
He immediately thought of something, turned to the wardrobe, and took out a square of cloth: "The bed sheet I was given when I received the supplies is not used. Should I spread it on the floor?"
"Okay." Jiang Ci nodded and called the other three people, "I'll demonstrate it once, will you guys learn it?"
"Here they come!" The three of them came over in a hurry.
"Then...what about me?" Yu Xiang pointed at himself uncertainly.
"If you get bored waiting, you can go play with your phone for a while."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Mingsheng and others immediately cast envious glances at him.
