Ning Xia patted her on the back, "We’re all classmates, no need to stand on ceremony, okay, I’ll go now."
Just at this mont, the dormitory door was pushed open abruptly, and a girl exclaid indignantly, "Qiqi, I’ve broken up with our classmate Guo Sen, that jerk."
"Really?" Wang Qi responded, taken aback.
The girl was about to throw herself into Wang Qi’s arms for solace, but suddenly halted, exclaiming in surprise, "How did she get here?" Why was Ye Chenxing here, wasn’t she a day student?
He Xiaoyan, standing behind Chenxing, gestured to the girl to keep quiet. The girl stuttered briefly before flinging herself dramatically into Wang Qi’s arms again, babbling, "That scoundrel Guo Sen mixed with Sasha from the English Literature Departnt and they went to the bar together, sitting in the couple’s booth and laughing flirtatiously. I couldn’t bear it anymore, and I splashed my coke on that bitch’s face. That jerk cheated on , so I decisively kicked him to the curb."
"How could this happen?" Wang Qi asked, showing sympathy.
The girl waved dismissively, "Forget it, I’m used to donating my old things to people who are worse off than . Let the piece of trash be my act of charity to Sasha."
"Achoo-- Achoo-- Achoo--" Just then, Chenxing sneezed three tis in a row. Liang Qingqing handed Chenxing dry clothes from her drawer, "Chenxing, you should first change your wet clothes. Your hair is also wet; wash it afterwards. There’s water in the thermos. If it’s not enough, we’ll borrow from other dormitories."
Wang Qi echoed, pulling Chenxing towards her, "Qingqing is right. First change into dry clothes and wash your hair. The dormitory is modest; there’s no bathroom or changing room. Please make do here, we’re all girls here, and there is no need for modesty."
Chenxing nodded.
She removed her coat; her clothes underneath were dry, but her pants and shoes were soaking wet. As she changed, her entire body was shivering.
"What happened to her?" The love-scorned girl pulled Wang Qi over and asked in a low gossiping tone.
"Maybe she had an argunt with her boyfriend too. I’m not exactly sure."
Wang Qi pulled her sleeve, "Say less."
"What’s the matter? Isn’t what I said right? We absolutely can’t emphasize n too much."
Chenxing, having changed, nodded in silence. She followed the dormitory chief He Xiaoyan, carrying a thermos, to wash her hair in the communal sink.
Though she had never lived in the dormitory, she knew that hot water was limited, so she hurriedly washed her hair. When she returned to the dormitory and sat on He Xiaoyan’s bed, she hugged her knees and thanked the concerned classmates again and again.
She had duck blood vermicelli soup for dinner but could hardly swallow. It wasn’t because of the food, but because she was too nauseous to eat. Her classmates didn’t force her to eat either. By the ti they finished tending to her, it was nearly half-past eleven.
He Xiaoyan said, "Chenxing, let’s talk about everything else tomorrow. Tonight, you can share my bed. Although it is small, we can still squeeze and make do."
"Xiaoyan, thank you, you’re all so nice," Chenxing muttered, tears welling in her eyes as she burrowed into the corner of the bed, "I’ve caused you trouble."
"Don’t say that, we’re all classmates. You seem to be very tired, you should rest. No matter what happened, your health is the most important."
