Chapter 436 The eve of the event
Come Thursday.
The clouds that had covered the sky for four days finally dissipated, the blue sky reappeared, and the sun shined on the earth.
Thanks to this, the daytime temperature rose, barely reaching the double digits at noon.
However, as soon as the sun sets and the north wind blows, the temperature immediately drops and hovers around the zero degree line.
at dusk.
After having dinner with Tang Wan and sending her to the Student Union office downstairs, Lu You returned to the dormitory.
Pushing open the door and walking into the dormitory, warm air came from all directions and enveloped Lu You's whole body.
An ordinary wooden door separates four seasons.
"God, continue."
When Lu You turned his head, he saw a shadow separate from Gong Qing's hand, draw a parabola in the air, and fall straight towards him.
The shadow was large and soft, so Lu You caught it easily.
"Can't you just put it on my desk? Why do you have to throw it to me?"
Gong Qing smiled and asked, "Are those the clothes you bought?"
"That's it."
Lu You didn't explain much. He walked to his seat, opened the closet, threw the bag in, and closed the door behind him.
The bag contained clothes, two sets of Chunhua summer school uniforms and a down jacket that Shen Yuyin gave to Tang Wan.
Two nights ago, Lu You called Shen Yuyin and asked her to send his and Tang Wan's school uniforms to the capital.
Shen Yuyin seemed to have opened her third eye and said meaningfully, "Go to bed early and take care of yourself."
Lu You couldn’t do it anymore, probably because his parents usually had a lot of fun.
At this time, Zhang Zhichuang stood in the middle of the dormitory, glanced at the three people, and said, "Is everyone here? It's a good time to discuss something."
"What's going on? Why is it so serious?" Gong Qing asked puzzledly.
Seeing that Gong Qing and Lu You were both looking at him, and Bi Yangde was still wearing headphones and writing furiously without making any noise, Zhang Zhichuang strode over and pulled off his headphones.
"Lao Bi, stop your homework and listen to me!"
Looking at Zhang Zhichuang's serious expression, Bi Yangde tactfully put down his pen and turned around.
"You speak and I listen."
Zhang Zhichuang returned to his original position and said, "Does everyone know what day is next week?"
Lu You picked up the water cup and took a sip, then said, "Just say what you want to say, don't keep us in suspense."
Bi Yangde suddenly had an idea and said, "Are you thinking of Double Eleven?"
"Yes, it is Singles' Day for all of us single people!"
"Stop!" Gong Qing raised his hand to interrupt what Zhang Zhichuang was about to say, and said, "Don't be like us. You and Lao Bi are the only singles in the whole dormitory. Dashen and I both have families, so we don't need to celebrate Singles' Day."
Bi Yangde raised his middle finger to Gong Qing and smiled, “Thank you for being hurt.”
Zhang Zhichuang also curled his lips and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter whether Singles' Day is celebrated or not. What's important is the Double Eleven Shopping Festival held by major e-commerce platforms!"
Gong Qing leaned back in his chair and said, "I don't have any plans to buy anything recently. Besides, I never pick a day to buy things, and I don't need to pick a day."
"I have the same idea." Lu You agreed.
Zhang Zhichuang suppressed the urge to punch the two men and said expressionlessly, "I know you are rich, so you don't have to show off in front of me."
Bi Yangde folded his arms, pretending to think, and said, "I can't think of anything to buy for the time being. Besides, I usually buy more virtual items, and virtual items are basically not discounted, and Double Eleven is no exception."
"Is it possible that I'm the only one in the dormitory who cares about Double Eleven?"
The three of them nodded in unison.
"Oh, okay!"
Zhang Zhichuang sighed and said, "Since you don't have any shopping needs, let's change the direction. What do you think our dormitory lacks?"
Suddenly, the three of them fell into deep thought.
"I'll go first." Zhang Zhichuang said first: "Since the heating was turned on, I found that the air humidity in the dormitory has dropped to a lower level. Look."
Zhang Zhichuang rolled up his left sleeve and stroked his arm with his right index finger, leaving a white mark where his nails had scratched.
Zhang Zhichuang gently stroked it with his right palm again, and the white mark disappeared, replaced by a light red mark.
"In order to solve this problem, I suggest installing a humidifier in the dormitory. What do you think?"
Zhang Zhichuang's words touched Lu You's heart.
These days in the dormitory, it's fine during the day because I can replenish water by drinking water, but when I go to bed at night, I always feel dry mouth and tongue, but I dare not drink more water because I will easily run to the toilet if I drink too much.
You know, the dormitory where Lu You lives now does not have an independent bathroom. If he wants to go to the toilet, he can only go to the public restroom at the end of the corridor.
Going in and out of the dormitory late at night is probably because you think your roommates sleep too well.
Lu You raised his hand and replied, "I support it. In the past few days, when I woke up in the morning, my throat was so dry that it was about to split. I couldn't bear it without the accelerator."
"What do you say?" Zhang Zhichuang looked at Gong Qing and Bi Yangde in turn.
"I have no opinion."
"Me too."
“Okay, it’s decided then, buy a humidifier.
Zhang Zhichuang made the final decision, then took out his mobile phone, opened the JD.com app, entered keywords in the search bar, and clicked search.
After a moment of pause, humidifiers of various shapes and sizes appeared on the screen.
Zhang Zhichuang slid his finger across the screen and said, "There are many styles of humidifiers, and the prices vary. What price range do you think is better?"
"Buy the ones that cost two or three hundred? It's just right that each person would contribute fifty or sixty." Bi Yangde suggested.
"No rush, let's wait and see about the hemorrhoids." Gong Qing replied.
Lu You thought about it, picked up his phone, and did some basic research on humidifiers, and then he came up with an idea.
"Hemorrhoids, forget about the humidifier, look at other things to buy."
Zhang Zhichuang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why? Aren't you going to buy a humidifier?"
"I'll just buy it with my own money."
"This... the humidifier is shared by the whole dormitory after all. It's not a good idea to let you bear all the expenses alone, right?" Zhang Zhichuang frowned.
Lu You put his phone aside and said, "I plan to buy one worth several thousand yuan, and upgrade it to the maximum configuration, all in one go. If you really feel bad and feel guilty, and you insist on helping me share the burden, I don't mind."
"You think I didn't say anything." Zhang Zhichuang retracted his gaze and continued, "The humidifier has been solved. Does anyone else have any suggestions?"
"Me." Bi Yangde raised his hand and said, "Can you give me a few boxes of laundry detergent? It's consumed too quickly, and it's troublesome to go to the store to buy it all the time."
"That's right!"
……
the other side.
A large classroom.
Tang Wan sat in the back row, resting her cheek on her hand, listening to the speech by the student union president in front of her, occasionally writing and drawing in her notebook.
This year's president is a boy with average build, a little over 1.7 meters tall, and it's hard to tell whether he's fat or thin under his thick winter clothes. His looks are also average, with casually short hair that's split in a 3:7 ratio, unremarkable facial features, and blemish-ridden skin.
Overall, it is a level that you won’t find if you throw it into the crowd.
But his eyes and the tone of his voice were extremely powerful, and Tang Wan had experienced it directly.
On the evening of the student union's welcome party, the president had a close conversation with Tang Wan and other freshmen. It was purely a case of the superior crushing the inferior.
During the whole process, Tang Wan huddled under Park Soo-young's wings and shivered like a quail that had just hatched from its shell.
This meeting was a regular meeting without much content. It was nothing more than summarizing past work, praising where praise is due and reflecting where reflection is due.
After the summary, it is time to arrange future work, such as the coordination with corporate recruitment presentations, the promotion and operation of the Double Eleven Boys' Day, etc.
Most of these things had nothing to do with Tang Wan. She was just a nobody in a subordinate department of the Student Union, responsible for reviewing and pushing articles on the school's official account.
Simply put, he is a voluntary worker. His superiors assign him tasks and he just carries them out.
However, even so, Tang Wan still listened carefully and took notes occasionally.
What is recorded is not the content of the meeting, but the president's way of speaking, appearance, behavior and narrative logic.
Speaking is simple, all you need is a mouth, but how to speak well is another big subject.
Don't underestimate the power of language. The simplest and most famous example is that a failed art student won over a large number of fanatical admirers with his impassioned speech and successfully stirred up the world.
After about two hours, the student union work was completed.
Tang Wan put on her schoolbag and returned to the dormitory alone.
She originally wanted to ask Park Soo-young to go with her, but she was busy with other things.
Watching Park Soo-young's leisurely exchange with the president, Tang Wan secretly felt that she still had a lot to learn.
Walking on the school road where light and dark mixed, Tang Wan's steps were neither hurried nor slow.
A cold wind blew, raising a cloud of dust.
Tang Wan subconsciously stopped and tilted her head, pressing her temples with her hands, and her loose hair danced with the wind.
The cold wind comes quickly and goes away quickly.
After the wind stopped, Tang Wan simply tidied her hair, pulled the brim of her off-white knitted hat down a little, and walked forward again.
When she walked to a bright yellow street light, Tang Wan stopped again. On a whim, she took out her mobile phone, took a selfie and sent it to Lu You with a caption.
[My beloved: My husband, Heihei, I’m scared~]
After waiting for about ten seconds, Lu You's reply arrived.
【Husband: Oh.】
【My beloved:?】
[My beloved: Can’t you be a warm man? ]
[Husband: Sorry, this skill has not been unlocked yet. ]
【My beloved: I want to see you. 】
【Husband: Then think about it. 】
Tang Wan was so angry that she stamped her feet. If girls were not prohibited from entering the boys' dormitory, she would have rushed over and beat Lu You up.
[My beloved: If you keep talking like this, you will lose me sooner or later! ]
[Husband: I bought you a midnight snack, yogurt with blueberry Swiss roll. I put it in the usual place, remember to get it.]
[My beloved: I will love you forever, muah~]
Five minutes passed.
Tang Wan walked to the big tree next to the girls' dormitory and successfully found a brown paper bag in the shadow behind the tree. It contained the yogurt and Swiss rolls that Lu You mentioned, as well as a small bag of winter dates and a sticky note.
There is a line of flowing words on the sticky note.
Since I am willing to show my preference to one person, I am willing to spend the rest of my life being generous.
"It's so disgusting."
Tang Wan grumbled in mock disgust, carefully folded the sticky note in half and put it away, then took a photo of the paper bag and sent it to Lu You.
[My beloved concubine: What era is this? Why are you still writing love poems? ]
【Husband: Don’t like it? 】
【Husband: Then I won’t write anymore. 】
Tang Wan glanced around cautiously, made sure no one was paying attention to her, and pressed the voice button.
"I like it very much, please give me more."
【Husband: Please look forward to it. 】
Tang Wan covered her face and giggled a few times, then slapped her cheeks twice to calm herself down. She walked out of the shadow of the big tree and walked towards the dormitory door with a normal expression.
Two minutes later.
Tang Wan pushed open the dormitory door and shouted, "I'm back!"
In the warm air, Xiao Airen and Liu Qingmeng, wearing pajamas, sat at their respective desks, doing their own things.
"You're back?" Xiao Airen turned around and saw that only Tang Wan was there, so he asked, "Are you the only one here? Where's the dormitory leader?"
"She has something else to do, so she'll have to stay in the student union for a while." Tang Wan hurried to the desk, took out a slightly old but well-maintained notebook, put the sticky note in it, and then put the notebook back in its place as if it were a treasure.
"It's really strange. You and the dorm leader are from the same class, so why is she so much busier than you?" Xiao Airen frowned in confusion.
"There are no two leaves in the world that are alike, and people are always different!"
Tang Wan joined the student union in order to hone her skills and gain more knowledge. She did not have much ambition for a position, so naturally she would not work as hard as Park Soo-young.
"That makes sense." Xiao Airen nodded in approval.
"Oh, right!" Tang Wan took out a bag of winter dates from a brown paper bag and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat winter dates?"
"eat!"
"Qing Meng, what about you?"
Liu Qingmeng turned his eyes away from the phone and asked, "Is it sweet?"
"I don't know. I just brought it back and haven't tasted it yet."
"Then take one." Liu Qingmeng raised his right index finger and said, "One will be enough."
"Okay!" Tang Wan took out the bowl she used to eat instant noodles, poured the whole bag of winter dates into it, and then handed the bowl and dates to Xiao Airen, smiling and saying, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Xiao Airen's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Let me wash?"
"What else? You want benefits but don't want to pay for them. How can that be possible?" Tang Wan said as a matter of course.
Xiao Airen pointed at Liu Qingmeng and protested, "Qingmeng also has benefits, why doesn't she go?"
"Because you're close to the dormitory door!"
Xiao Airen had no rebuttal.
"So, to wash or not to wash?"
Xiao Airen curled his lips, took the winter dates reluctantly, and left the dormitory with a sour face.
Not long after, Xiao Airen returned with a bowl of instant noodles in one hand and a half-eaten winter date in the other.
"These winter dates are really sweet, crispy and sweet. Where did you buy them?"
Tang Wan picked a half green and half red winter date, put the whole thing into her mouth, and replied, "I don't know, my boyfriend gave it to me."
Xiao Airen suddenly felt that the winter dates in his mouth were no longer sweet. Not only were they not sweet, they were also slightly sour.
"Is it really that good to be in love?"
Tang Wan pulled out a tissue, folded it in half, caught the date pit she had spit out, and replied, "Not necessarily. It depends on the person. It is indeed very good and happy to fall in love with the right person."
“What is the right person?”
Tang Wan did not explain, but threw the second winter date into her mouth and said, "What you learn from books is always shallow. You have to practice it yourself to know it. You will know it after you talk about it yourself once."
"Forget it!" Xiao Airen waved his hands in protest, "Don't try to seduce me to leave the cave. During college, I will definitely be the goblin!"
"what ever."
Everyone has their own way of life, and Tang Wan would not think that what she thinks is good is also suitable for others.
"Oh, there's something I almost forgot." Xiao Airen held a winter date in his mouth and sent a group invitation to Tang Wan on WeChat, saying, "I'll invite you to the group, please accept it."
Tang Wan picked up her phone and curiously clicked into the chat box, only to see that the group name read, "Double Eleven Boys' Day Activity Organization Exchange Meeting."
"What the hell? What do these people do?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Xiao Airen raised his chin and said, "It's a Boys' Day event."
"There is such a festival?" Tang Wan turned her gaze to Liu Qingmeng, seeking her answer.
"I asked former seniors and they said there really is one," Liu Qingmeng confirmed.
"Okay!" Tang Wan accepted the reality and then asked, "Since there is a Boys' Day, does Girls' Day also exist?"
"Well, Boys' Day is Double Eleven, and Girls' Day is March 7th." Liu Qingmeng replied.
Tang Wan clicked to accept the group invitation and then asked, "Have you discussed the arrangements for the event?"
Xiao Airen bit the winter dates with a crunching sound and said, "The specific details are yet to be discussed. It is tentatively planned to deliver breakfast plus a small gift in the morning, and then find a place to hold a group party in the evening."
"That's it."
Tang Wan pulled out a chair and sat down, looking thoughtful.
