Afternoon nap
There are only two or three students left on the forest path now, and the cicadas chirping occasionally make the path even more tranquil during lunch break.
The two walked slowly along the forest path, arm in arm, with Xu Feifei occasionally saying something amusing to Lin Yuan.
The dormitory building is an exquisite three-story villa. Geraniums grow on the balcony, blooming in clusters and creating a beautiful scene, making the building even more cozy and lovely.
Pushing open the door and entering the lobby, Xu Feifei immediately noticed Lin Xier. Lin Yuan pulled Xu Feifei forward and said to her, "We're here to check into our accommodations."
Upon seeing the two of them, Lin Xier gave a standard professional smile and said, "My teacher just called and told me that I'll be waiting for you here!"
Xu Feifei was shocked; she hadn't expected the female lead to work part-time here. But thinking about it, this seemed like a normal setting in novels. In a Mary Sue world, the hourly wage for part-time work must be very high; otherwise, it would be a disservice to this prestigious school.
"Feifei, you can just sign your name here. Here's the key to room 202, keep it safe!" She handed the documents and key to Xu Feifei.
Xu Feifei was a little uncomfortable when she heard her call her name for the first time. She smiled, took the pen and keys, glanced at the documents, and signed her name.
As Lin Xier watched her sign, she casually remarked, "Lin Yuan never let anyone else stay in this room before, I didn't expect you to move in."
"Huh? Really?" Xu Feifei looked at Lin Yuan with a puzzled expression.
Lin Yuan was displeased with Lin Xi'er's words and glared at her. She muttered, "Hmm."
Seeing this, Lin Xier changed the subject apologetically, saying, "We've already arranged the basic amenities in the room. If you need anything else, just call the dormitory management office."
After saying that, he handed Xu Feifei a business card. It was black and gold, and it looked like it was from a very high-end company.
"OK, thanks!"
Xu Feifei took the key and opened the door to room 202. She couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" when she saw the equipment inside.
It turned out to be a one-bedroom apartment with a living room. Opening the door led directly into the living room, where a rug was laid out in front of the door. In the middle of the living room, there was another large rug, next to which was a sofa, a table, and a small bookshelf.
The room has a bay window; although it's on a low floor, the view is good and the light is ample. Inside, there's a double bed, pillows and a comforter, a wardrobe, and a bedside table.
There is also a separate bathroom.
But for Xu Feifei, all of this was simply wonderful. No bunk beds, no bare concrete floors. Compared to the typical eight-person dorm room, this was the dormitory of her dreams!
She can't wait to call Gao Lan and ask someone to decorate her room so she can move in without having to bring her own luggage.
"How are you feeling?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile in her eyes.
"It's much better than I imagined. At first, I thought it would be a four-person room! I didn't expect it to be a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, and it's for single occupancy!" Xu Feifei replied excitedly.
"I want to call my mom right now! I'm checking in tonight." Without further ado, she took out her phone and called her mother.
"Mom, I'm in my dorm now..."
Lin Yuan smiled indulgently as she watched her daughter excitedly talking to her mother.
A moment later, Xu Feifei said to her with a bright smile, "My mom promised me that she would have someone deliver some daily necessities this afternoon and clean the house while she's at it."
Lin Yuan patted her head and said, "That's good!"
"By the way, Lin Yuan. May I come to your room?"
"Okay, let's go!"
The two walked to the door of the next room, and Xu Feifei hesitated at the door before asking, "Should we change our shoes?"
"No need, just come in." Lin Yuan changed her shoes and then turned on the lights and air conditioner.
Xu Feifei walked into the living room, which was decorated in a minimalist style with a color scheme of black, white, and gray. The room seemed somewhat monotonous and empty.
The room was tidy and clean, the floor was spotless. The curtains were drawn tightly, and not a single ray of sunlight could get in.
Looking at the clean and tidy room and the spotless floor, and then at her own outdoor shoes, Xu Feifei didn't know where to step. She couldn't bear to tread on the ground, afraid of leaving a trail of footprints.
"Lin Yuan, is it really okay if I step on it directly?" Xu Feifei asked again with concern.
"fine."
Xu Feifei carefully walked to the sofa, then looked back at the floor she had stepped on. Luckily, she hadn't gotten it dirty, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yuan rubbed her forehead and laughed, "It's really nothing, don't be shy."
"It's too clean, I can't bear to!" Xu Feifei waved her hand and said.
She looked around and said, "This place looks quite simple, but it has its own unique style!"
"It's just a place to rest, so we've kept it simple. By the way, would you like some water?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Lin Yuan walked to the water dispenser, only to find that there were no extra cups, which made her feel a little annoyed.
"I don't have any extra cups here. I'll go downstairs and get one later." Lin Yuan turned to leave.
Xu Feifei quickly called out to her, "Hey! No need! I'll just take your water cup."
“But…” Lin Yuan hesitated.
"You dislike me?"
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then made up her mind and said, "No, I'll go wash the cups."
Xu Feifei watched her go to wash the cup and smiled happily. After the water was handed to her, she drank it all in one gulp, as was her habit.
"Drink slowly, don't choke!"
After putting down her cup, Xu Feifei burped and said, "It's nothing, I was just a little thirsty."
Lin Yuan poured her another glass of water.
Xu Feifei drank most of it and then stopped. Looking at the time, she realized there was still an hour left before lunch break, so she lay down on the sofa and said comfortably, "Lin Yuan, can I take a nap here? I'm a little sleepy!"
"Okay, I'll call you when my lunch break is over."
"Mmm." Xu Feifei rested her head on the armrest of the sofa and closed her eyes.
After turning off the room lights, Lin Yuan finished the remaining water in her glass. She tiptoed into the room, took out a small blanket, and gently covered Xu Feifei with it.
Quietly watching Xu Feifei's sleeping face, her eyes were tightly closed, long eyelashes covering her once bright and lively eyes. Her mouth was slightly open, making her look a little dazed and cute. A few strands of hair on her cheek swayed gently.
In her dream, Xu Feifei felt a slight itch on her face and unconsciously made a "hmm" sound.
She scratched her face with her hand, then moved it away, and stray hairs fell down again. The stray hairs kept brushing against her face, and she grabbed at them haphazardly, but it was no use.
With a furrowed brow, she angrily kicked off the blanket in her sleep, completely ignoring the few stray strands of hair that were causing the disturbance.
Lin Yuan tucked her back in and carefully brushed the stray hairs from her face. After brushing the hairs away, Xu Feifei's brow gradually relaxed.
Lin Yuan carefully touched the corner of her right eye.
With a "snap".
Xu Feifei slapped Lin Yuan's hand, then grabbed those annoying hands. Lin Yuan's hand instantly turned red, and she tried to pull her hand away. But Xu Feifei held it tightly, refusing to let go.
Xu Feifei pulled Lin Yuan's hand into her arms, curled up, and muttered, "*#*, hungry... ashes... arm chicken... wrapped... *&%"
Lin Yuan shook her head helplessly, then smiled indulgently. Was this a slap followed by a sweet treat?
I tried to get closer to hear what she was saying, but I was completely confused and had no idea what she was talking about.
Xu Feifei is a restless sleeper; the blanket on her body came loose and hung loosely in the air.
Lin Yuan used one hand to cover her with the blanket again and gently patted her back.
Xu Feifei gradually calmed down, only tightening her grip on Lin Yuan's hands. The hands in her arms warmed, and with the flow of blood, her heart warmed as well. The depression in her heart eased somewhat, further solidifying Lin Yuan's resolve.
He wished time could stand still at this moment, that all worldly troubles would vanish instantly. Unfortunately, happy times are always fleeting.
Xu Feifei should have been woken up five minutes ago; at their normal pace, they would have just returned to the classroom.
But she was overcome by selfishness; she really didn't want to break the peace. She could only hope that time would pass more slowly, delaying it by even a minute, until it couldn't be delayed any longer.
"Feifei, wake up!" Lin Yuan gently patted her shoulder.
Xu Feifei opened her eyes groggily and asked, "What time is it?"
"13:50, ten minutes before class!" Lin Yuan said, glancing at her watch.
Xu Feifei sat up abruptly, flustered, and asked, "There are still ten minutes left. Will we be able to get back to the classroom before class starts?"
He hurriedly put on his shoes, not even bothering with his hair or clothes, and grabbed Lin Yuan as they rushed out.
Lin Yuan was amused by her flustered appearance and said calmly, "No rush, we'll take it slow! First, fix your hair and clothes, they're a bit messy."
Xu Feifei stopped, casually ran her fingers through her hair, adjusted her clothes, and then pulled Lin Yuan along as they ran outside.
Lin Yuan grabbed her and laughed, "Wait a minute, let me change my shoes first."
Xu Feifei watched Lin Yuan slowly change her shoes and said anxiously, "It's true what they say, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are."
Actually, Lin Yuan was moving at a normal pace. But because Xu Feifei was in a hurry, everything seemed slow to her.
Lin Yuan laughed angrily, "What are you saying?"
After seeing her put on her shoes, Xu Feifei grabbed her hand and sprinted towards the classroom at top speed. However, she only managed to run a hundred meters before collapsing.
She was breathless with exhaustion as she said, "Lin Yuan, I think you're right. We're not in a rush, are we?!"
He chuckled dryly twice, then bent down and looked up at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan met her gaze, her eyes full of smiles, and said, "Yes, we're not in a hurry!"
It's almost two o'clock now. The early summer afternoon sun is blazing, the sunlight is blinding, and the cicadas are chirping merrily. Occasionally a breeze blows, but it's a muggy breeze that can't dispel the heat.
The lively scene of groups of people walking along the forest path had vanished, and there wasn't even a sparse number of people left. Apart from the chirping of cicadas, it seemed as if only the two of them remained in the vast campus.
