Chapter 47, clear name
Zhang Youyou had initially been looking forward to staying in a dormitory, but after spending a few days at Li Donghao's house, she started to complain about how small and cramped the dorm was, and how inconvenient it was to get hot water. It seems that it's hard to go from luxury to frugality once you've experienced it all. Maybe she should just make do and stay at Li Donghao's house?
He tossed and turned in bed for a while, trying to sort out his thoughts, when Liu Ping from the next bed called his name.
"What's wrong with you? All I heard you tossing and turning all night. Aren't you afraid of falling off?" After all, it was a bunk bed with a creaking sound from the bottom if the top was shaken even slightly. For safety reasons, they were all very well-behaved in bed.
"Why can't our dorm be like those double rooms in TV dramas? They have double beds, private bathrooms, big enough to fit a fish tank, and nice little plants and flowers!" Zhang Youyou finally lay down and looked at the top of the bed curtains with longing.
The two people on the opposite bed couldn't help but retort when they heard her description of the scene, "You said it yourself, it's from a TV drama, how could it possibly happen in real life?"
"That's why unrealistic TV dramas are a killer!" Li Yanyan added, deliberately drawing out the last syllable, which made the whole dormitory laugh.
Although the dormitory environment in TV dramas is wonderful, it's even better to have friends you can talk to in real life.
The phone next to the pillow suddenly vibrated. Lying still, she reached out with her right hand, picked up the phone, and opened it, only to see a WeChat message from Li Donghao.
"Your package has arrived. Do you want to come and pick it up, or should I bring it to you?"
Zhang Youyou thought this was a good opportunity to stay at his house, so she said she would come to pick it up tomorrow and asked him to wait for her after class. After hanging up her phone, Zhang Youyou didn't tell them. Anyway, they were used to her staying out all the time, and she would just say something in the group chat later.
She hadn't expected her class to end earlier than Li Donghao's. After returning her things to the dorm, she told her roommates she was about to leave. Her roommates accused her of being fickle, and Zhang Youyou stuck her tongue out at them, slung her bag over her shoulder, and walked away. Just as she reached the stairwell, she suddenly remembered something and ran back to ask if they wanted her to bring anything back. Her roommates shook their heads. She had bought snacks many times before, and although they were good friends, they couldn't keep letting her spend money, so they all said no. And so she skipped away again.
After Zhang Youyou left, Li Yanyan, who was putting on makeup at her desk, said, "I really envy Youyou. Not only does she have a grandfather who loves her so much, but she also has Li, the teaching assistant, looking after her. She can stay at his house whenever she wants. It's so nice."
Liu Ping, who was making the bed, chimed in, "I think this is just a little trick by Assistant Li."
The other two simultaneously asked in confusion, "Huh?"
He laid the blankets out, put the pillows on top, and then turned to look at them, saying, "Look how long it's been since we started school. Zhang Youyou has spent less time in the dorm than at his house. If you ask me, if it weren't for Assistant Professor Li's pampering, she wouldn't be able to do whatever she wants!"
The two people under the bed looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"In my opinion, given how often Youyou stays out of the dorm, she'll move out of the dorm and live with Assistant Li sooner or later!" Liu Ping said, then got off the bed.
While tidying up the table, Cheng Qiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "What if they get married? Would we still have to give them a wedding gift?"
The moment her left foot touched the ground, Liu Ping nearly knelt down upon hearing these words. "Boss, don't say such hurtful things so early in the morning, okay?"
Zhang Youyou didn't hear any of the dorm gossip. She was happy just thinking about getting a cute phone case for her phone and tablet that night, and she also wanted to eat Li Donghao's cooking, so she had to trick him into giving her a meal today.
Li Donghao didn't have class today, so he squatted in the laboratory building. Zhang Youyou couldn't go in, so she waited downstairs. Learning from her previous experience, this time she deliberately found a crowded place to wait, so as not to be framed again.
It's actually quite pathetic to think about it. You can't take off your shoes in a watermelon patch, and you can't adjust your hat under a plum tree. If your shoelace comes undone while passing through a watermelon patch, you're likely to trip if you don't squat down to tie it. At that time, is the watermelon more important or the person? In the end, the whole "watermelon patch, plum tree" thing was just to preserve one's reputation for life.
