Ji Ling stood up and said, "I am."
She looked at the other person indifferently.
"Student Ji Ling, can you show your helpfulness? I have never slept on the upper bunk before, and I am not in good health. It is a bit difficult for me to climb up to the upper bunk. Can I change bunks with you?"
Ji Ling said, "You can change it, but I think it would be more appropriate for you to tell me this before you change it, rather than asking me to show my helpful style after the bed is changed, right?"
"Okay, I'll remember that." The other party ignored the mockery in Ji Ling's words.
Miao Man and others, who were originally curious about their new roommates, now began to feel dissatisfied.
How can there be such a person?
A few people exchanged glances and returned to their beds.
Ji Ling put the lunch box back into the cupboard, took off her shoes and went to the upper bunk. All her things were pushed onto the bunk. If someone didn't know better, they would have thought a thief had broken in.
That's what it's like living in a dormitory, there are all kinds of people.
Ji Ling was not aggressive. If she insisted on not agreeing, she could still take the bed back. But the other person would have to live on the upper bunk, and she didn't know what tricks he would use. It would be better for her to do it herself.
The bed boards creak when people step on them, so people who sleep on the upper bed usually move more gently for the sake of the lower bed.
Ji Ling doesn't need to care about this. Since the other party was rude first, don't blame her for being rude later.
The dormitory was very quiet. The wooden bed creaked as Ji Ling stepped on it, and dust fell from time to time.
By the time Ji Ling had tidied up the bed, an hour had passed, and the person on the lower bunk didn't say a word, holding it in.
Ji Ling lay down on the bed, thinking that there was a lot of time left, so she could just take it slow.
In the afternoon, when we went to the education office, Miao Man called Ji Ling to go together, and the others all got up and prepared. No one took the initiative to talk to the roommate who arrived last.
The other party didn't care either. She put on her headphones and listened to something, as if everything in the dormitory had nothing to do with her.
Only after leaving the dormitory did Miao Man start to complain, "How can there be such a person? He took someone else's bed as if it was natural."
"She looks so cold. I don't even dare to talk to her in the dormitory." Tang Meng looked at Ji Ling worriedly, "Forget it. It's better to sleep on the upper bunk. At least I won't get dust."
Li Jia looked at Miao Man and smiled, "You are big, so don't blame me if there is dust on the bed."
Miao Man said proudly, "I have already hung up the mosquito net, so it's not surprising that you turned over as hard as you could."
When Ji Ling heard about the mosquito net, she remembered that she had also hung up a mosquito net, but the other party did not take it down for her, so she had to take it back when she returned home at night.
Although it is September now, there are still a lot of mosquitoes.
Among the five people traveling together, Gao Jing is the quietest.
After a day of classes, Miao Man arranged for everyone to go to the place behind the school for dinner. "I heard that the food there is delicious. We have been there before."
"It's the first day of class and there are a lot of things to organize. You guys go ahead." Ji Ling was really tired.
"Ji Ling, you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination. The school has just started. Is studying difficult for you? Let's go together." Miao Man pulled her and begged.
Today in class, they realized how amazing Ji Ling is.
Ji Ling disagreed, "Xinzhizhi, you guys go ahead."
She did well in the college entrance examination because she took advantage of a loophole, but that is no longer the case now.
Although she had done work in this area before, after taking classes at school, she found that there were many theoretical things she had never been exposed to. Since she had studied this major, Ji Ling planned to learn it well.
Ji Ling did not go and went back to the dormitory with Gao Jing. Miao Man and the other two went.
When I came back from dinner, Gao Jing was the only one in the dormitory.
The first thing Ji Ling did was to take down the mosquito net and hang it up again on the bed.
Gao Jing read the book silently, and looked up at Ji Ling from time to time.
After a few times, Ji Ling simply stopped and looked at her, "Gao Jing, do you have anything to say?"
Gao Jing was caught, and lowered her head in embarrassment. After thinking for a while, she mustered up the courage and said, "Ji Ling, don't you feel restrained when you are with everyone? Don't think too much. I don't mean anything else. I just always feel awkward when I am with them."
Ji Ling said, "There's nothing awkward about it."
"They are locals, and we are from small places." Gao Jing's voice lowered.
"So what if you're from a small place? You don't ask them for money and you don't eat their food, so why should you be inferior to them?" Ji Ling could see that Gao Jing was a sensitive person, so she just talked about the matter at hand and didn't tell Gao Jing what to do.
Gao Jing opened her mouth slightly.
Ji Ling kindly said, "People are equal, and respect is mutual. Even if others keep praising you, what can it bring you? Don't eat or drink properly. It's not others who say whether you are good or bad. If others say you have to die, do you really die? So live your own life and don't care what others think or say. You can't control what they say because they have a mouth on their body, but you can decide whether you feel good or bad."
This was the first time Gao Jing heard this theory and she thought it made a lot of sense.
The door was pushed open and the person in the lower bunk of Ji Ling came back.
Now, no one knows her name.
But apparently, when she came back, she noticed the change in the bed immediately. She raised her head and looked at the upper bunk, "Did you move my bed?"
"I took my own mosquito net." Ji Ling looked down at her.
The other person uttered an "oh" and sat back on the bed.
When Gao Jing saw this scene, she looked at Ji Ling with a little worry. When she saw Ji Ling smile faintly, she withdrew her gaze.
Ji Ling organized what she had learned today, and Miao Man and the other two also came back.
She was still carrying apples. After washing them, she gave one to each person. After hesitating for a while, she handed one to Ji Ling on the lower bunk.
"No, thank you."
Miao Man withdrew her hand and returned to her bed.
Gao Jing originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Ji Ling accept it so generously, she accepted it as well and thanked Miao Man. Seeing that Miao Man did not look down on her but looked very happy instead, Gao Jing fell into deep thought, as if she understood something.
"Ji Ling, I heard that we are going on an autumn outing in a few days. The instructor said that we should bring some food with us. Let's discuss and see who will bring what food so that we don't have the same thing."
Ji Ling is also looking forward to the autumn outing. In her previous life, she wanted to go out and play, but she was too busy with work, and most of the scenic spots at that time were commercialized, not as pure and natural as they are now.
"We're going on the fall outing on Monday. I'll make some food at home and bring it with me. It won't be the same as yours, so you guys can discuss what to bring."
Seeing her mysterious look, the other four people were also curious. Until they turned off the lights and went to bed at night, several of them were still talking excitedly about the autumn outing.
When everyone was dozing off, Ji Ling was woken up several times by the person in the lower bunk, and all desire to sleep was gone.
The occasional slapping and loud turning movements woke up the other people.
Everyone knew that the other party was just hitting a mosquito, so it was difficult to lose temper.
The next day, several people woke up with dark circles under their eyes, obviously they did not sleep well.
