"I postponed the meal until the winter break. After all, after the school celebration is over, it will be a while before the break. During this time, I will explain everything to my parents."
After hearing what Xiao Jingwen said, I could only nod my head. After all, I couldn't refuse at this time, right? In the end...it was the blame that I took for boasting at that time.
In order to cover up a lie, countless lies are often needed, and vice versa. Once one or even several lies are mistaken for the truth, all the lies will be subconsciously regarded as the truth.
"By the way, you're back with the express delivery, where's Zhao Ruo?"
"After she and I moved the packages in, another package arrived, so she gave me the room card and asked me to open the door and come in for a while while she went to get the new package."
As I said this, I took a sip of Coke, then shrugged helplessly and innocently at Xiao Jingwen. After all, I never expected that Xiao Jingwen would be in the staff dormitory.
"Sister Zhao wanted to call you, but the call didn't go through. I guessed you were in a meeting, so I was dragged here to do hard labor."
After hearing what I said, Xiao Jingwen's expression suddenly became a little strange. Then she took out her cell phone and silently turned it on. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows when I saw this scene.
Because I saw that after Xiao Jingwen turned on her phone, there were a bunch of missed calls on the screen. After Xiao Jingwen saw those messages, she deleted them all without even opening them.
Is she avoiding someone's call?
Although I was curious, I didn't ask any questions. After all, secretly prying into other people's secrets is not something to be praised.
However, Xiao Jingwen caught my gaze and seemed to have noticed that I glanced at her phone, but she didn't hide anything. Or rather, she opened her phone in front of me and had no intention of hiding anything from me.
"Nothing, just an annoying guy calling me."
After I heard what Xiao Jingwen said, I immediately thought of who the person she was talking about was. Although a long time has passed, perhaps because the way I became familiar with Xiao Jingwen was too special, I still remember the night when I carried Xiao Jingwen back from the bar.
For a moment, the air became stagnant and the atmosphere seemed to become a little strange. I wanted to say something to break this weird atmosphere, but I didn't know where to start, or whether I should interrupt.
But at this moment, I only felt a slight pain in my forehead, and then I realized that someone had tapped my forehead. Then I realized that Xiao Jingwen leaned slightly towards me, and her hand was still in the same position as when she tapped my forehead.
For a moment, our eyes met each other. I looked into her eyes, which were serious but contained a hint of concern and comfort. I could even see my own reflection clearly in those clear eyes, as if I was looking in a mirror.
"It's okay, don't worry..."
Her tone was calm and soothing. For a moment, I couldn't tell whether I was the one who needed comfort or Xiao Jingwen was the one who needed comfort.
"Teacher, I can handle it."
At this moment, I was like a sculpture petrified by magic, my whole body was frozen in place, and that spell -
Those were the strange yet familiar words that came out of Xiao Jingwen's mouth.
Chapter 243 Room Card
Xiao Jingwen's words sounded very familiar, because they were almost exactly the same as what I said to Mo Yuhan not long ago. While I felt that all this was too coincidental, I was also lamenting the change of identity.
Not long ago, I was a teacher in front of students, but now I am a student in front of a teacher. This change of identity made it difficult for me to adapt for a while.
When I was a teacher, I said this sentence hoping to reassure the other person and not to cause them unnecessary trouble and worry. But when I was a student, I had different feelings when I heard the same words.
Maybe Mo Yuhan felt the same way as I did when she heard this? Or maybe Xiao Jingwen's state of mind when she said this was the same as mine at the time?
I know that all of this is just groundless speculation and has no basis at all, but the change of identity has given me this strange idea.
My mind was a little confused by all the complicated information, and at this moment, a crisp sound of door lock contact, accompanied by the mechanical sound of the electronic door lock, interrupted my thoughts.
"Hey, I'm back...?"
I saw Zhao Ruozheng walking into the dormitory door holding a box. After seeing the situation inside the room, she was stunned where she was. Xiao Jingwen and I were also stunned with her.
At this moment, Xiao Jingwen and I were very close to each other. She leaned towards me slightly, her hand still in the motion of tapping my forehead. Our postures towards each other were very subtle.
After hearing what Zhao Ruo said, Xiao Jingwen and I moved almost in sync with each other. We turned towards the entrance with extremely stiff necks and looked at Zhao Ruo who was standing there in a daze. When she saw the two of us staring at her, her whole body shuddered.
"Ahem...did I come at the wrong time?"
No, you came at the right time... ahem, you came at the wrong time!
Wait a minute, it sounds like I'm going to do something with Xiao Jingwen.
As I was thinking this, Zhao Ruo seemed to see through everything, put down the box, and looked at Xiao Jingwen with surprise.
"Wow, Xiaowen... I didn't expect you to be so bold. When you were with me, you said you and Lin Ran..."
"Zhao Ruo!"
After hearing what Zhao Ruo said, Xiao Jingwen's face turned red, and even her ears turned slightly red. She grabbed the pillow on the sofa next to her and threw it towards the entrance.
However, Zhao Ruo dodged it very skillfully, and her skill level made people wonder how many times Xiao Jingwen had thrown the pillow at her.
"Ahem, you guys chat first, I'll be outside for a while, it's okay...you don't have to worry about me!"
Zhao Ruo wanted to say something when he saw this, but before he could finish, Xiao Jingwen pulled out the pillow from behind me and continued to throw it towards the entrance. However, Zhao Ruo was very quick and quickly dodged and closed the door, and the pillow hit the door with a "bang".
At this moment, my cell phone rang quickly. I took out my phone and saw that it was Fatty and the others calling. Well...then I hung up immediately.
Just kidding, the consequences of answering their call in Xiao Jingwen’s dormitory last time are still vivid in my mind. Three people stood me up in the middle of the night and asked me who was the girl who called me “not a good person” that night.
If I answer their call, who knows what weird things they will say. What if they say something like, "Are you hanging out with girls again?" I will spiral into social death on the spot.
Seeing this, I sighed and prepared to leave. After all, in the current atmosphere, it seemed that it was not suitable for me to stay here any longer, otherwise, who knows how things would develop.
"Sister Wen, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first?"
Seeing this, I asked Xiao Jingwen tentatively, and after hearing what I said, she didn't say much. Although her face was still a little red, she calmed down and nodded at me.
"Well, you go first...By the way, don't tell anyone else about what happened today."
"Ahem, I got it. I definitely won't tell anyone else!"
I nodded when I saw this, and at the same time looked at her silently. She looked like a little girl, blushing and asking me to promise, and then swallowed.
Maybe this is... what is called contrast cuteness?
I withdrew my gaze and slowly walked towards the entrance. After looking at the pillow that fell on the ground, I silently picked it up and placed it on the cabinet next to me before opening the door and walking out.
"call--"
Breathing the fresh air outside the door, I sighed deeply, but suddenly remembered that Zhao Ruo's room card was still in my hand. I was about to turn around and open the door to return it, but suddenly I found a shadow standing in my peripheral vision.
"How are you getting along with Xiaowen?"
When I heard a sudden sound beside me, I was so scared that I almost dropped the room card in my hand.
I turned around and found Zhao Ruo leaning against the wall, looking at me with a half-smile. When he saw that I was frightened, he couldn't help but said to me with a smile:
"Are you scared by Xiaowen's appearance?"
"......"
I wasn't scared by Xiao Jingwen, but I was almost scared to death by you. I thought she was downstairs, but it turns out she was really outside for a while.
"I'm not scared, but I'm a little surprised. After all, Sister Wen has always left me with the impression of being smart and capable. No one would have thought..."
"I didn't expect Xiaowen to have such a lovely side, right?"
After Zhao Ruo heard what I said, she couldn't help but speak to me before me, and after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but hold her head with both hands and continued to speak to me as if she was sighing:
"Actually, if you ask me, Xiaowen just worries too much about everything. Well... she's quite similar to you in this respect."
"Hmm? Are they similar?"
"It seems to me...very similar."
After hearing Zhao Ruo's affirmative words, I couldn't help but feel doubtful. I knew that I had too many concerns, but why did Xiao Jingwen also have so many concerns?
Or what is she worried about?
"Although I really want to help you, I think based on your personalities, it's better to just let things take their own course."
Zhao Ruo touched her chin, then looked at me and spoke slowly, thinking. When I heard her words, my eyes twitched. I am not a fool, so how could I not understand what she meant?
"You didn't mistake Sister Wen and I for boyfriend and girlfriend, did you?"
"Oh? I didn't expect you to think of this? Could it be that you have had this idea for a long time? I was just joking with you just now, you didn't take it seriously?"
"..."
After hearing what Zhao Ruo said, my blood pressure suddenly rose. To be able to joke about such a topic, I can only say that she is really a bit thick-skinned.
"By the way, here's the room card."
"Ah? You keep that one. I have another one."
As Zhao Ruo spoke, she took out another room card from her pocket and waved it. After hearing what she said, I was filled with question marks, feeling that her answer was irrelevant.
"Why should I keep this room card?"
"Keep it. I think...it will come in handy someday."
Chapter 244: Words
After leaving the staff dormitory, I went straight to the school supermarket. It was not because I had some free time and was planning to buy something to improve my life, but because Fatty had just called me.
He told me that they had already bought the skewers and asked me to go to the school supermarket to buy some beer. I agreed very skillfully and then changed direction and headed towards the supermarket.
Although drinking is prohibited on university campuses, as long as it is not done in a big way, the school will turn a blind eye to it. So although alcohol is banned on the surface, the school supermarket actually sells alcohol as usual.
Just like the school would prohibit the use of hair dryers, kettles, and power strips. When I entered college as a freshman, I really took it seriously and didn't bring anything with me... but I found that the school didn't enforce it strictly, and even the school supermarket sold these "prohibited items" openly.
So much so that Fatty complained to me at the time, wondering if the supermarket was opened by the school, and they deliberately told us not to bring these things, and then we could buy them from the supermarket when we needed them. When everyone had bought almost everything and the demand was met... the school would conduct another big search.
I pushed open the door of the supermarket, walked into the warehouse very skillfully, and picked up an ordinary cardboard box from a familiar corner next to it. If you didn't look at what was inside, I guess no one would have thought that it was filled with bottles of beer.
Seeing this, I picked up the box and headed out the door, but before I had taken two steps, I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Hey, Lin Ran?"
I looked back while holding the box, and found that it was Bai Yun in casual clothes. Her hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a white dress and a beige jacket. She looked very gentle and charming.
"Oh, what a coincidence, you're here to buy something too?"
The sudden encounter made me a little surprised, but also a little happy. In addition to the fact that seeing a beautiful woman itself makes people feel happy, the unexpected experience also made me feel that my luck has really turned around recently.
Bai Yun is one of the few girls in this school who I am familiar with, and she has a very good personality, so I have always had a good impression of her. When I saw her taking the initiative to say hello to me, I couldn't help but smile at her and say hello to her.
The shop assistant who was arranging goods around kept glancing over here after seeing Bai Yun. When he saw Bai Yun take the initiative to greet me, he couldn't help but sigh, and then looked at me with some jealousy.
I can't help but sigh that school beauties like Bai Yun are the focus of attention no matter where they are.
"Well, I just finished my meal at the cafeteria and came to buy a bottle of water. How about you?"
"I bought some beer."
"beer?!"
After hearing what I said, Bai Yun seemed to be surprised and her voice became a little louder. Then, as if she remembered something, she reached out her hand to cover her mouth and looked around as if she was worried that someone might have heard it.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her cute look. Those who knew me would think I was buying beer, while those who didn't would think I was doing some secret deal.
If a salesperson with a dramatic personality came out and said, "There is a traitor. Terminate the transaction!", the situation would be even worse.
"It's okay. Most people know that beer is sold here. Don't worry about it."
Seeing Bai Yun looking a little nervous, I wanted to tease her, but after thinking about it carefully, I took back the idea. If I really teased her, she might take it seriously.
"But...isn't drinking prohibited in college?"
"Hair dryers are still contraband."
I smiled and shrugged at her as I spoke. Even if the school supermarket didn't sell alcohol, students would find a way to bring it in from outside. If they were suppressed for too long, something big might happen.
What's more, people are born with a rebellious mentality. Just like staying at home by yourself and not being allowed to go out at all, the feelings they bring are two different things.
But what surprised me was that this was something almost everyone knew, even many teachers knew it, but Bai Yun didn't know it.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not so strange. After all, Bai Yun is a good girl and rarely does anything out of line. She has never skipped classes or been late for something like that.
"Are you going to buy some to drink?"
"Forehead......"
After hearing what Bai Yun said, I suddenly felt embarrassed. If she mistakenly thought that I was an alcoholic, and then she became distant or even hated me because of the misunderstanding, then I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill myself.
So I made a plan almost instantly, and then said seriously:
"Actually, Fatty is heartbroken, and we're going back to comfort him."
Well, although I feel a little sorry for the fat guy, as the saying goes, you raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them only for a moment. A true brother should be there to help block the knife in times of crisis like this.
