Chapter 88 School Opening
Chapter 88 School Opening
Shi Shui chose to board at the school.
Upon learning of this decision, Bai Li remained calm and composed. She simply tilted her head slightly, looked into Shi Shui's clear eyes, and calmly and methodically laid down three rules for him.
The content of the three chapters is nothing more than remembering to eat on time, eat more, and eat well.
Don't forget to eat because of your studies. You have to eat every meal. You can only gain weight, not lose weight.
If he gets thin, take away his right to live with us.
Although Shi Shui is now close to a normal weight, he still looks rather thin. The loose T-shirt looks empty on him, as if there is no body inside.
A real clothes hanger.
Actually, it's not Shi Shui's fault. For some reason, he suddenly grew several centimeters taller, breaking through the 1.8-meter mark.
As people grow taller, their body fat doesn't keep up with the growth rate, so at first glance, it seems like they haven't gained much weight.
But in reality, Shi Shui really does work out every day, trying to build muscle and look stronger.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have any effect in the short term.
Listening to Bai Li's earnest instructions, which sounded like those given to a child, Shi Shui's fair face gradually flushed red. Her usually cool and aloof expression seemed to come alive in that instant, becoming vivid and lively.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with embarrassment, as if they could speak.
Bai Li pretended not to see it.
She knew that Shi Shui was working hard and was gradually improving.
Well-behaved children often don't need much instruction.
This is just her perverse sense of humor.
—She raised the water, what's wrong with saying a few words?
Aren't people who keep plants and pets always talking about them all day long?
----------------------------------------
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Shi Shui to start school, which also meant that Shi Hua would have to go back to her hometown to attend primary school.
On the morning of our parting, a faint sense of melancholy filled the air.
Shi Hua hugged Bai Li tightly, her small body trembling with sobs. Tears streamed down her face like broken beads, as if this parting was a separation of life and death, as if they would never see each other again in this lifetime.
Before leaving, she choked back tears as she said goodbye to Bai Li: "Sister!!! Waaaaah, Xiao Hua will miss you! You must remember to miss Xiao Hua too! Waaaaah!"
Shi Shui stood to the side, looking helpless: "Xiao Hua, don't you miss your brother?"
However, Shika was so absorbed in her grief that she didn't hear her brother's words at all.
A brother who was obsessed with his sister has silently broken down.
Finally, Shi Hua looked back every few steps, her little face scrunched up as if she had suffered a great injustice, and slowly left with her mother.
Poor thing.
They're both pitiful and adorable.
Bai Li was so fond of Shi Hua's little face that she couldn't help but pinch and kiss her cheeks again and again before leaving.
Before leaving, Shi Shui's mother's eyes were also full of reluctance.
But deep down she knew one thing very clearly: what awaited Shi Shui was an extremely bright and brilliant future.
Although I felt reluctant to part with them, I had no worries or anxieties whatsoever.
After all, in just over a month, Shi Shui seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, and his entire spirit and energy had changed dramatically. Isn't this powerful proof that he is living a happy and fulfilling life here?
It is fate's best arrangement that Shi Shui stayed here.
Finally, the mother held Bai Li's hand, her lips trembling slightly. A thousand words seemed so pale and powerless at that moment, unable to express her gratitude.
“Miss Bai, my son isn’t very good with words, please don’t blame him. He’s kind-hearted and very caring. You two must get along well from now on.”
Bai Li was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face. Why did she feel that Shi Shui's mother's words had a hidden meaning?
—Perhaps it's just my imagination.
Bai Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, you should also take good care of yourself."
She remained steadfast in her commitment to taking good care of Shi Shui.
Even before the flowers bloom, Bai Li will not give up on growing flowers.
Born into a land of flowers, forever a land of flowers! The spirit of China's flower-growing will never fade!
Shi Shui is a flower I adopted, and I will take good care of it and make it beautiful.
After saying goodbye to the Shi Shui family, the house seemed to return to a near-perfect, extremely balanced state of tranquility.
At this point, only three living creatures and a group of NPCs remained in the house.
The three beings are herself, the quiet night, and Sanmao.
Sanmao has disappeared again, vanished without a trace.
For a moment, only he and the quiet night remained.
Jingye didn't go to the company today. Instead, she accompanied Baili to see off Shishui's family. Standing to the side, she had a faint smile on her lips and looked exceptionally cheerful.
Bai Li glanced at him sideways, recalling how he had been elusive and always in a hurry lately, and she wondered what he was busy with. She couldn't help but ask casually, "You seem to be in a good mood today?"
Upon hearing this, Jingye's smile widened, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.
(n_n) --> (^v^)
However, instead of answering Bai Li's question directly, he replied irrelevantly, "The weather is very nice today."
After saying that, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Miss Bai, you don't go to a boarding school, do you?"
That's right, at the same time, it was also the day when Bai Li had to go to school.
She just didn't have to participate in military training, so she started school a few days later than Shi Shui.
Bai Li gently shook her head and replied, "I'm a boarder, so what?"
In Bai Li's view, not living in the dorms at university doesn't mean you've wasted your time.
I've heard that the dorms at Huadan University are pretty good.
If you don't stay overnight, wouldn't you miss out on a unique experience?
Jingye's smile froze on her face, and a hint of surprise flashed in her bright eyes.
(^v^)-->(???)
He wondered to himself, "How could it be accommodation?"
This was indeed a situation that Jingye had never expected.
But since it's something Bai Li has already decided, it's hard to change it easily.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his smile fading, a hint of melancholy hidden deep within them, and simply said softly, "It's nothing."
It only takes a moment to go from happiness to disappointment.
Jingye's disappointment was so obvious that even Bai Li noticed it, and she jokingly teased her:
"My butler is all grown up, is he afraid of living alone at home?"
Upon hearing this, Jingye gazed intently at Baili, his gaze seemingly penetrating her soul, his eyes filled with a deep affection like a bottomless lake, as if about to overflow.
For Jingye, who was highly sensitive but lacked defense, Bai Li's words were no different from flirting, causing ripples to spread across his heart.
He kept scrutinizing the subtle expressions on Bai Li's face, as if trying to discover something special.
But after carefully examining Bai Li's expression and confirming that she had no other special feelings, he simply continued to gaze at Bai Li with loving eyes and slowly spoke his words of love: "I'm not afraid of living alone, I'm just afraid of missing you."
The moment Bai Li heard those words, she felt as if an electric current had passed through her entire body, leaving her feeling numb. This was the first time in her life that she had heard Jing Ye say such cheesy things.
Yes, Jingye's favorability rating is 79 points...
Actually, we were just one step away from completing Xiaohao's system task.
Why did I not accept Jingye's advances back then?
By the way, at that time, Xiao Hao's task only required a favorability score of 50.
Should we accept him now?
In an instant, countless hypotheses and possibilities flashed through Bai Li's mind like lightning, and all sorts of scenarios emerged one by one.
However, reason ultimately prevailed, and the outcome was negative.
Jingye is now the closest and most trustworthy person in her life.
Intimate relationships are often very ethereal, elusive, and uncertain, filled with too many variables and unknowns.
Therefore, not developing an intimate relationship with Jingye is the wisest and safest choice.
In just a moment, her mind cleared up and calmly gave the best rational answer.
So, Bai Li simply turned her head slightly to avoid Jing Ye's burning and affectionate gaze, and said softly, "Just call me if you need anything."
Actually, Shirai didn't plan to live at the school long-term; she just wanted to experience it.
After all, it's easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
Although the school's dormitory environment is relatively good, it is still several levels below the comfortable and luxurious environment at home.
Bai Li had long been accustomed to living in her spacious, bright, and beautifully decorated house, and to a life with 24-hour service.
She knew in her heart that she would probably want to go home in a few days.
But she decided not to tell Jingye about these thoughts yet, and left pretending to be unmoved.
Good heavens! Maintaining a distance from Jingye is so difficult!
-------------------------------------------
Being assigned to a dormitory in college is essentially being forced to live with strangers.
Just like opening a blind box, it's full of uncertainty, with both good and bad outcomes, it all depends on luck.
You might find a surprisingly good "treasure roommate." If you're lucky enough to meet a compatible roommate, you might even become lifelong friends after graduation.
However, if you're unlucky, you might encounter a "weird roommate" who causes you a lot of headaches. In that case, your four years of college dormitory life will be like a nightmare that you can't get rid of, and the pain it brings may even take a long time to heal.
Five girls who had just finished two weeks of military training walked together toward their dormitory, chattering and sharing interesting stories along the way.
Walking at the front was Zhou Yue, the dormitory head. She was tall and slender, as eye-catching as a model, with long, shiny black hair casually draped over her shoulders, shimmering in the sunlight.
Her delicate oval face was framed by a pair of bright, expressive eyes that radiated confidence and competence. She suddenly brought up a topic:
"Isn't there an empty bed in our dorm? The counselor just told me that someone is in that bed. When we get back, we should tidy up our things on it to make room for the new roommate."
As soon as she finished speaking, the other girls erupted in a commotion.
"Huh? So that bed was occupied. I put my suitcase and other odds and ends on it." Su Yao, with her hair in a high ponytail, stared wide-eyed in surprise.
Her skin was a healthy wheat color, which made her look healthy and energetic. She had a fit and well-proportioned figure, and every move she made exuded vitality.
Ye Lin, walking to the side, had fair skin, which contrasted sharply with Su Yao's. Even after two weeks of military training and being exposed to the sun, she still maintained her extremely fair complexion.
She softly echoed, "Me too, I thought no one was there."
Ye Lin has a slender figure, an oval face with cherry lips, and gentle eyes. Her long, flowing waves reach her waist and sway gently with her movements, making her look exceptionally elegant.
Wearing glasses, Shen Shi pushed them up, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes behind the lenses, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you only arriving now? Military training is already over."
Shen Shi, whose college entrance examination scores were said to be among the top ten in the liberal arts category in a certain province, has delicate features and a pair of black-rimmed glasses perched on her high nose, which adds to her scholarly air.
She was somewhat slender, yet exuded a quiet and wise aura.
"Dorm leader, is she also a freshman? She can't even come to military training?!" Tang Tang, the petite one, also looked curiously at Zhou Yue, the dorm leader who was leading the group. Her eyes were round and bright, lively and playful, and when she smiled, a cute tiger tooth would show at the corner of her mouth.
The group discussed amongst themselves, explaining that after two weeks of arduous military training, they had endured considerable physical and mental stress, standing at attention and marching in the scorching sun every day.
Hearing that someone was able to avoid military training and only report for duty after it was over, I was immediately filled with envy.
Seeing everyone chattering away, Zhou Yue, the dorm leader, helplessly shrugged and shook her head. She wasn't entirely clear about the new student's situation either, and had only made some guesses based on the information given by the counselor.
"I am indeed a freshman. As for why I didn't participate in military training, my counselor didn't tell me in detail. But it's possible that I'm not feeling well and can't participate in military training."
"What?! You can skip military training just because you're not feeling well? Is that even possible?" Su Yao, with her ponytail, stared wide-eyed.
Shen Shi, who wears glasses, pushed them up and explained in a serious tone, "Yes, for example, being allergic to ultraviolet rays or something."
"That's too tragic. Not being able to participate in military training means missing out on so many opportunities to get to know your classmates." Ye Lin frowned slightly, a look of sympathy on her face, her eyes full of regret.
The girls, who had been having a heated discussion, returned to their dorm room and were stunned the moment they opened the door.
All the walls and floors of the dormitory were completely renovated.
Their dormitory is not actually dirty; there are people taking turns cleaning it every day.
The ground was so clean that it reflected people's images; it was an extremely smooth surface.
To be honest, they've only ever seen this level of smoothness in hotel lobbies; it's as if a special layer of adhesive has been applied over it.
The walls, which used to have some leftover tape and other dirt from the previous students, are now completely gone, leaving only a clean, white wall.
"What... what's going on? Has someone come to our dorm and cleaned it?"
"But the school probably wouldn't send someone to clean it this thoroughly, would it?"
Su Yao snapped out of her daze and, while talking, quickly walked into the dormitory. When she reached her bed, she saw an expensive gift box on the bed and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow!" "What is this?"
She was the first to return to her bed, and everyone else turned their attention to their own beds as well. They then noticed that each person had a small gift box on their bed.
There was a small note with writing on it attached to the gift box.
The above text has three lines:
"Please be kind to my new roommates (?*?*?)"
This is just a small gift, nothing special.
Let's all get along well~
