After a commotion in the classroom, it returned to calm. We are all adults, so we still have some self-awareness.
Sun Ye stroked the new books and quickly browsed through them one by one. There were seven books in total, each as thick as the tip of a finger, and they were piled up high.
"The new books have been distributed. I hope you all take good care of them. They are hard to come by. If the handwriting is unclear, please ask the students next to you. If you lose one, there will be no second one..."
The counselor gave some more instructions and couldn't help coughing. It was the first time he had said so many words, which made him, who was not good at speaking, feel a little dry in the mouth. He picked up the teacup with white background and red words on the table and took a sip of water.
"Cleaning downstairs, make sure the windows are clean and the floor is mopped..."
Perhaps the counselor had never done work like cleaning, so his instructions sounded a bit dry.
However, the general meaning was clear, and Sun Ye understood it. Seeing that he had almost finished speaking, the counselor left on his own and left the rest to the students in the classroom.
Squad leader Li Lijun stood up first and assigned people the responsibility of cleaning. Although he was a new official, Li Lijun did not seem to be timid at all. He spoke appropriately and had an aura that made people convinced.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Sun Ye cast his precious vote when he was running for class monitor.
Sun Ye’s assigned task was to sweep the floor of the first group, and after sweeping he could return to the dormitory.
I have to say that the floor is really dirty. There is a lot of dust thinly spread on the ground. After being trampled by the students, it is mottled and looks very messy.
Sun Ye took a brand new broom made of palm leaves and started sweeping low. Dust cannot be swept hard, otherwise, the dust in the air will not only be choking but also add another task for the students who are wiping the table.
There was a large ball of dust, about the size of a handful if held in the hand. Sun Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart: How long has this classroom been vacant for so much dust to accumulate in such a small area.
When I first came in, I was so busy looking at my classmates that I didn't pay attention to the floor under my feet. I vaguely thought that the chair I was sitting on might be like this too.
Thinking of this, Sun Ye hurried to look at the pants of other classmates. Fortunately, there was no dust or anything like that on them.
Yes, if there were, someone would have noticed it and called it out long ago.
Soon, Sun Ye cleaned up his area and went to talk to the squad leader.
"Squad leader, the floor is swept, I'll be leaving now."
As for whether it would be bad if Sun Ye left alone before everyone else, Sun Ye didn't feel anything. She was busy and had no time to care about what others thought.
You go to college to learn knowledge, not to socialize.
The squad leader was obviously stunned for a moment, but he agreed readily. Coming and going was a personal freedom, and he had no right to interfere.
Sun Ye took out the cloth bag that her mother had specially made for her. It was made of gray cotton satin with a few bright green leaves embroidered on it. Every stitch and thread was filled with love for Sun Ye.
One bag couldn't hold them all, so Sun Ye had to hold the remaining two books in his arms.
An older female classmate who was ready to help Sun Ye carry the bag just watched as Sun Ye easily put on the cloth bag, as if it was as weightless as a leaf. She slowly retracted her hand, turned her head calmly, and pretended nothing had happened.
She looks very slender and delicate, a pampered girl, but I didn't expect she is so strong and efficient at work. You really can't tell.
Sun Ye had no idea what was going on. He picked up the two remaining books on the table and walked out.
The corridor was noisy as students in every classroom were cleaning. Sun Ye tilted her head and wrinkled her nose slightly. The dust was really too thick.
One of the classrooms was gray and filled with dust, and there were people inside.
Sun Ye felt suffocated just by taking a casual glance outside. She preferred the fresh scent of trees, flowers and plants, probably because she was an elf in her previous life.
When walking around people in the corridor, the scarf covers the nose, killing two birds with one stone: it can block the wind and prevent others from looking at you in amazement and inquiry.
After all, she just wanted to finish college in a low-key manner. It was just such a simple wish.
As I was walking down the stairs, I heard voices calling from the corridor, "Student Sun Ye, Student Sun Ye!"
Sun Ye turned around and saw that it was her neighboring table. She stopped and leaned her forks slightly against the stair wall.
Against the gray wall, Sun Ye was wearing a brown sweater and a pair of black pants that were similar in style to overalls. The sweater was knitted a little big by Sun's mother so that she could wear one or two more warm underwear inside.
The whole person looks very lazy, exuding a lazy aura, which makes people unable to help but take a few more glances.
Wang Qingqing, holding the book, breathlessly said, "Classmate Sun Ye, let's go back to the dormitory together."
Sun Ye raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly. She had no objection. They were all going the same way and heading in the same direction, so there was nothing wrong with walking together.
"Student Sun Ye, thank you for what you did just now."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ye simply said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor. Anyone would do the same."
“…”
That one sentence killed the conversation. Fortunately, Wang Qingqing was quick-witted and immediately followed up, "Then you should thank me too."
Sun Ye didn't say anything this time, just walked at a steady pace.
"Student Sun Ye, can you lend me that book of yours? I promise I won't damage it."
"Aren't the books I just gave you enough for you to read?"
Sun Ye still replied indifferently. She didn't want to lend the book given to her by the teacher. She had to return the book to the teacher in the future. If she damaged it in any way, she would have a hard time explaining it, although the teacher would not blame her.
Wang Qingqing was completely choked this time and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Student Sun Ye, the annotations on your book are very interesting. If I have the chance in the future, could I read it?"
Sun Ye glanced at Wang Qingqing. It seemed that she really liked the book. What should he do? She liked it more and was a little possessive. She would not allow others to lay hands on what belonged to her, no matter if it was a person or an object.
Either give up completely or hold on to it tightly.
"I think it's very interesting too. Let's talk about it when we have the chance."
After going to college, she kind of let herself go. There were no familiar people here to maintain relationships with, and she could do whatever she wanted.
She is an indifferent person.
Neither of them said a word during the rest of the journey and returned to the dormitory in silence.
The dormitory was empty. Sun Ye put the book on the table, went to the faucet to wash his hands, went to the toilet and ate something, then sat on a chair and started reading the book attentively.
I turned a deaf ear to the world outside and focused on reading agricultural books.
Even when Ma Qiuhong came back, she just looked up once and then immersed herself in the contents of the book again.
At noon, Sun Ye finally met her other two roommates. They were older and none of them seemed to want to have a good conversation. Each of them had a book in their hand and they read their own books without disturbing each other.
There are not many lazy people who can be admitted to Shuimu University. They wish time could go slower so that they can read more books and learn more knowledge.
Sun Ye was quite satisfied with this aspect of the dormitory. There was no one causing trouble.
Time passed by little by little, Sun Ye was tireless. He turned his sore neck, closed the book, quietly stood up and stretched his stiff waist on the balcony, and looked up at the sky.
It was getting late, already past 1:30 in the afternoon. Sun Ye glanced at the three people who were still studying without paying attention. The welcome party was about to start, so it was time to leave.
Sun Ye returned to the room and tapped the table lightly. Seeing the three people looking over, he said softly, "The welcome party is about to begin."
One of the roommates looked at the watch on his wrist. Sure enough, it was already 1:41. If he was any later, it would be too late.
The four of them packed up their books, picked up a pen and a notebook, and went out together to the auditorium.
No one spoke along the way, but the atmosphere was unexpectedly good, making it clear to others that they were in the same group.
Everyone on the central avenue was heading towards the auditorium, so Sun Ye avoided the embarrassment of getting lost. It was definitely right to follow the flow of people.
The auditorium was decorated in a festive manner. At least Sun Ye was attracted by the bright red flower at first sight. The flower was hung right in the center of the auditorium door.
The auditorium was even bigger than Sun Ye had imagined, about the size of four threshing grounds.
When they arrived here, the four people dispersed and each found the location of their own class. Sun Ye arrived a little late, so his seat was a bit bad.
Just as she was looking around, Wang Qingqing's voice rang out, "Student Sun Ye, come over here, I've saved a seat for you."
This was something Sun Ye had not expected. Despite her attitude towards her at noon, he still saved a seat for her.
Sun Ye couldn't understand why Wang Qingqing tolerated her so much since they had nothing to do with each other. If she was still after the book, she thought she would not lend it out.
Things that are unclear can be figured out later. Human nature is really complicated. She still has a lot to learn, especially after leaving the Forward Brigade.
The welcome party was about to begin, and Sun Ye had no time to care about so many things. He walked towards Wang Qingqing and sat down next to her.
He smiled slightly and said thank you softly.
The two of them whispered to each other, and when they saw someone walking up to the podium at the front, they stopped talking and waited quietly for the welcome party to begin.
"Hello, hello..."
Someone tried to check if the microphone had volume.
"First of all, welcome everyone to Shuimu University. All of you here are freshmen from Shuimu University. You come from all over the country, from various industries and units, and are of different ages. It is a kind of fate that we are gathered here..."
The long and complicated speech made people drowsy. Sun Ye could only force himself to stay awake and concentrate, and he could probably understand the meaning of it.
"Now, please welcome President Xiangguo of Shuimu University to the stage to speak. Everyone, give him a warm welcome!"
A white-haired old man walked from the first row to the stage, amid deafening applause.
"Hello students, welcome to Mizuki University!"
