Xiaoqi was not very agile at work, a bit like her dad, slow.
But she was quite meticulous.
She didn't find a rag, so she took the old towel brought from her aunt's dormitory as a rag. She had to wipe the bed before putting on the quilt.
When she went to the bathroom, she found a basin, but didn't know whose it was. She didn't use it either, and washed the towel directly in the sink, wrung it half dry, and came back to wipe the bed.
It wasn't very dirty, just a little dusty.
As Xiaoqi was working, a little girl was sitting quietly next to her. She was clearly not used to working, with long hair over her shoulders, dressed simply in a white T-shirt and casual pants.
Xiaoqi was not good at talking. After entering the dormitory, she smiled and didn't speak, which was quite embarrassing. As she worked, she said, "My name is Su Xiaoqi, Class 1 of Information Management."
"My name is Gu Yunshu, I'm also in Class 1 of Information Management," the quiet little girl said. She sounded like a very nice person.
That was it for the conversation, and Xiaoqi didn't know how to make small talk either.
Seeing the rag was dirty, she went to wring it out again.
By the time Xiaoqi came out of the bathroom after wringing out the rag, there was a middle-aged couple in the dormitory.
The man was wearing a shirt, trousers and leather shoes. His hair was shiny and he looked quite handsome, the kind of handsome middle-aged man, clearly in good condition.
The woman was wearing a black dress, with long hair over her shoulders and bangs, looking quite young.
"Oh, you must be Yunshu's roommate. We just went downstairs to buy things. There's nothing here, quite a lot to buy."
Seeing her holding a basin and new towel.
Xiaoqi nodded.
Then she saw the woman take the new towel and basin to the bathroom, and whined in the bathroom, "Honey, help me with the basin, it's so heavy, I can't carry it."
Her voice was so coquettish that Xiaoqi couldn't help but shudder.
She thought she was terrible at work, slow, but when she saw the middle-aged couple, the bed was wet all over, water was dripping everywhere, the floor was a mess, and they looked flustered.
Xiaoqi: ...An eye opener.
If her parents were here, they could have finished this kind of work in a minute.
Meanwhile, she had made the bed, wiped the desk clean, moved the books from the suitcase to the bookcase on the desk, wiped and aired out the wardrobe, spread two sheets of clean paper inside, stuffed clothes in, put shoes on the rack under the table, didn't take out her computer, temporarily locked it in the wardrobe, and cleared out the suitcases and schoolbags. The suitcases were stuffed under the desk.
Xiaoqi did all this steadily, while the couple had just wiped the bed, hadn't started on the wardrobe yet, and the floor was already dripping with water. Xiaoqi glanced back and saw the little girl still sitting there dumbly. She probably saw Xiaoqi's eyes and became a little shy, blushing immediately.
The girl had very fair skin. She looked like she didn't exercise much, not as good-looking as her parents, very quiet, with an aura of being a top student.
Just then another girl came in, also alone without parents.
She was very tall, at least 1.7 meters. Her shoulders were a bit wide. At first glance, she gave Xiaoqi the feeling of being like her swimming coach.
Her eyes were quite gentle, she also looked good-tempered.
As soon as the girl came in, she smiled at everyone, a little awkwardly. When she smiled, she was very sunny, eyes squeezed into a line.
"My name is Wei Cheng, from Taiyang Village, Feixia Town, Nanpu City. I'm a new student in Class 1 of Information Management. Please give me your guidance."
She put her things down and introduced herself in a loud, clear voice, then her face turned red to the roots of her ears and neck.
Xiaoqi felt this girl was sincere, much more sincere than herself.
"My name is Su Xiaoqi, from Lushan City. We're all in Class 1 of Information Management."
"My name is Gu Yunshu, from Fucheng."
Just as they were introducing themselves, the last girl in the dormitory came too.
She was accompanied by her father, and as soon as they entered, Xiaoqi and the others could hear them chattering away in dialect that they didn't understand.
The girl who arrived last was clearly very lively, also very good-looking, with short hair, giving a very efficient and capable feeling. Xiaoqi felt that when she walked in, she should have a red sleeve badge on her sleeve, epaulettes on her shoulders, at least a school squad leader or something.
She also spoke very fast.
There was only one bed left near the bathroom, and she didn't bother choosing, seeming quite happy.
"It will be convenient to use the toilet in the future. My name is Chen Mier, from Qinjiang Province, also a new student in Class 1 of Information Management. Please give me your guidance."
She said this with a grin, healthy wheat-colored skin, without blushing at all.
After greeting them, she efficiently found things to make the bed, letting her father sit and rest. Her father didn't idle either, opening boxes and taking things out. She had a lot of luggage, with a very large suitcase.
Wei Cheng took the rag Xiaoqi handed her and made her bed very quickly.
Chen Mier had even brought a special rag herself and tidied up swiftly too.
Finally everyone was done, but Gu Yunshu's parents were still messing around, hadn't even opened the suitcase.
Clearly Gu Yunshu's parents didn't usually do these chores either.
Sure enough, Xiaoqi heard Gu Yunshu's father grumble, "I told you to bring little Zhang to help with the cleaning. You didn't bring him. You insisted on setting it up yourself. Look now, you still can't get it right."
Gu Yunshu and her father sat in front of the table by the window, looking very helpless.
Fortunately at this time they had to go to the classroom to collect books.
Xiaoqi didn't need to watch Gu Yunshu's mother make a mess of the dorm anymore. On the other side, Chen Mier chattered away with her father again, and her father went downstairs with her too.
The classroom building for Class 1 of Information Management was not far from the dormitory. After leaving the dormitory area and crossing a playground, past a huge pineapple guava tree was the Bamboo Grove building.
That tree was truly magical. The fruit on it was bigger than the largest winter melon Xiaoqi had ever seen, also covered in bumps. From afar it even looked like a bunch of beehives.
As a coastal city, Meng City grew these tropical fruits that Xiaoqi had never seen before coming here.
Apart from this giant pineapple guava tree, there were also some papaya trees along the roadside, short ones, but the fruit was also very big, green papayas.
No one picked them. Xiaoqi thought the people at this school were really wealthy.
Fruit this size would not stay on the trees near their village, only deep in the mountains.
At the dormitory entrance, Chen Mier separated from her father. The four girls didn't know each other but were in the same dormitory, so when they went out together so many people, they unconsciously huddled together in a little group.
Among the few, Gu Yunshu looked gentle, Chen Mier was very lively, Wei Cheng was tall but seemed to be the most self-abasing and shy. But they all seemed easy to get along with, eyes bright and honest. Xiaoqi felt they were quite good.
Little did she know as she observed the others, the others were observing her too.
They unanimously felt wow, the new roommate is so pretty, but she looks so serious, a bit fierce, inexplicably feels not very easy to get along with, a bit high and mighty.
Chen Mier's family ran a clothing factory in town. She was the only child, with her father and uncle running the clothing factory together while her mother and aunt ran a clothing store. They could be considered a family doing small business, dealing with outsiders, relatively socially adept. Her personality was very lively.
As she walked, she subconsciously went to Su Xiaoqi's side, feeling this roommate seemed quite capable.
As for Wei Cheng, typical rural roots, a little inferiority complex. Her parents were farmers. Compared to Xiaoqi, her family's actual situation was slightly better. Wei Cheng's hometown Taiyang Village was a famous mushroom town. Every household grew mushrooms, every household had a small villa. Although rural, they didn't worry about food and clothing. However, she had an older sister and brother above her. Her sister was about to graduate from college, her brother's grades were average so he repeated a year. She didn't repeat but was admitted to Enhua University, and her parents gritted their teeth to support her coming here.
She felt that of the dorm mates, Gu Yunshu from how her parents behaved was like a pampered young lady, but Gu Yunshu herself seemed nice. The other out-of-province one Chen Mier was very open, also good-looking. But the one she couldn't figure out most was Su Xiaoqi, seeming to stand there very proper and confident, giving off an impressive feeling. She just felt this roommate was quite formidable.
Gu Yunshu was also like this. She was well protected at home. She was not an only child, and had an older sister who was studying abroad. Her family lived in a Chinese-style villa in Fucheng, with front and back yards that added up to over 1,000 square meters. There was also a hot spring pool at home, with the unique hot spring water of Fucheng. Her father did business, and her mother was a full-time housewife. The family also had maids and drivers.
Gu Yunshu simply found Su Xiaoqi very beautiful and attractive, and couldn't help moving closer to her.
