Gu Pan had been sitting beside Liu Meng, observing him, and just happened to witness this scene.
Suddenly, she felt that Liu Meng wasn't as indifferent as he always appeared, always with a faint expression, as if he had discovered some secret, and he smiled, muttering to himself, "Hey, Liu Meng, you're quite the actor."
When she said this, she didn't realize that the two of them were actually the same kind of person.
After leaving the ice rink, Liu Meng was in a good mood. He didn't want to do anything in the evening, so he went to a basement rental bookstore near Dormitory 7, casually rented a few books, and lay on his bed to read a novel.
After lying down, his whole body started to feel a bit sore.
After a tiring day, one must relax and rest; fighting fatigue is useless. One must maintain a steady mindset, which is a necessary skill for top students.
While listening to the radio and reading the novel, he immersed himself in the world of the novel, feeling very happy. The radio was playing "Midnight Love," a program that the dormitory listened to every night, and most of the freshmen dormitories also listened to this program every night.
After all, they were freshmen, having just escaped the grueling high school life and starting to face society and life independently, a time when they began to yearn for love.
After 10 PM, Dormitory 307 started to get lively. Gradually, due to the relationship between Lao Ma, Liu Meng, and Lao Da, Dormitory 307 became the most cohesive dormitory in Class 3 of the Electrical Engineering Department. Other students liked to come over and chat every night.
Lao Da also started eating instant noodles every night, and he encouraged Dong Dong to buy a box of instant noodles each, eating one bag every night and adding the mud snail sauce and dried shrimp from his hometown to the noodles.
According to Lao Da, the mud snail sauce was very delicious. Liu Meng knew that this was a raw river delicacy, which only people from coastal areas could get used to. No matter how much Lao Da promoted it, Liu Meng remained unmoved.
Dong Dong's curiosity was piqued, and he took a bite, immediately rushing to the bathroom to vomit. After vomiting, he kept spitting, and when he saw Lao Da grinning slyly, he realized he had been tricked. It seemed that Lao Da had used this trick to fool many classmates.
Cheng Cheng was listening to the radio and cursing the host, cursing the people who called in to curse the host, and he thought all these people were big fools.
Guo Yu walked in, and Cheng Cheng immediately felt annoyed. He always felt annoyed when he saw Guo Yu, who always acted more confidently than himself.
Sure enough, as soon as Guo Yu came in, he shouted in a loud voice, "Oh, I'm so happy today. I went on a date with a girl from the Foreign Languages Department. It was so great, you can't even imagine."
The four people in the room were very familiar with Guo Yu's typical opening line, which was meant to make others ask, "What happened? How was it so great?"
Well, today, the four people in the room were Liu Meng, who was lying on the bed reading a novel, Lao Da and Dong Dong, who were eating noodles, and Cheng Cheng, who was seriously listening to the radio and ignoring him.
Seeing no one respond, Guo Yu felt a bit annoyed, but it didn't matter. He continued, "I went out with a girl from the Foreign Languages Department. She was very beautiful, and her name was unique. I'll tell you, you can't even guess what her name is, and she lives up to her name."
As soon as Cheng Cheng heard him speak, he felt nauseated and very annoyed. He stood up, ready to go to the neighboring Dormitory 305, but Guo Yu blocked his way. Impatiently, he said, "You fat guy, get out of the way."
Guo Yu was just getting excited, and suddenly a viewer left, which made him very annoyed. He glared at Cheng Cheng with his big eyes.
"Damn you, what are you looking at?" Cheng Cheng always spoke in a dirty manner, and everyone was used to it, so no one took it seriously.
However, this made Guo Yu very annoyed, and he immediately lost his temper. Being from Northeast China, he had a short temper. Every time he came, if Cheng Cheng was there, he would speak to him in a sarcastic manner, and he had been putting up with this guy for a long time. He angrily said, "You damn, say one more word and I'll beat you up."
Cheng Cheng wasn't afraid of him and cursed again. Guo Yu punched him, but Cheng Cheng, being more agile, dodged and the two started fighting.
Lao Da, while eating his noodles, said, "Hey, hey, be careful. We're all in the same class. If there's a conflict, we should resolve it through discussion, not by fighting."
He said this but didn't go to pull them apart. After all, he didn't like Guo Yu either. This guy always bullied him because he was the class president, and he hoped Cheng Cheng would beat him up a bit more.
Since Guo Yu was fatter, he had the upper hand in the fight, and Cheng Cheng was at a disadvantage. Lao Da took a sip of his noodle soup and said to Dong Dong and Liu Meng, "You guys, don't just stand there. Go and pull them apart, stop it, stop it."
He called Dong Dong to pull them apart.
Liu Meng, lying on the upper bunk, continued reading his novel, thinking that a fight was good, otherwise, the conflict would accumulate and cause bigger problems.
The two fighting attracted the attention of other dormitories. Soon, Yuan Chaohui came over, shouting, "Damn, you guys are fighting without telling me. You stopped so quickly?"
Cheng Cheng and Guo Yu both glared at him, and Yuan Chaohui, being smart, immediately shut up.
At this point, the two had been pulled apart. After all, they were classmates and top students, with strong self-control.
They just didn't like each other, and a fight was good. Both of them automatically forgot about it, acting as if nothing had happened and continuing to chat.
Guo Yu, being the class president, had excellent emotional control. His cocky mood wasn't affected at all. Seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, he continued to talk about his date, without any unnecessary preamble, and directly took out his phone with a huge screen, proudly saying, "Look, the girl from the Foreign Languages Department, isn't she beautiful?"
He showed the phone to everyone. Yuan Chaohui, who didn't get along with Guo Yu, had competed for the class president position, and he sneered, "Apart from being a bit whiter, I don't see anything beautiful about her. She's far from as beautiful as our Bai Jingjing."
Guo Yu didn't get angry, but smiled and said loudly, "Her teeth are definitely much better than the big buck teeth of your Bai Jingjing."
Yuan Chaohui laughed, "That's true. It's so convenient for eating meat bones. Every time I see her eating, it's like I'm eating myself."
As he spoke, he licked his lips, clearly loving to watch Bai Jingjing eat, and he loved everything about her.
Guo Yu secretly cursed, "Damn, you're a pile of crap. Bai Jingjing is like Gollum from 'The Lord of the Rings.' Only you, Shrek, think she's a beauty."
Cheng Cheng was disgusted by these two, both of whom were ugly and liked to show off. He wanted to show his beautiful wife to these two, but he felt it would lower his status, so he angrily went back to his dormitory and called his wife, Qin Qin.
Dong Dong, being honest, looked at the photo Guo Yu showed and nodded with a smile, but didn't say anything.
Guo Yu started to talk animatedly, describing the details of his date and some funny incidents. He laughed heartily, but the others didn't find it funny at all.
Halfway through, Yuan Chaohui left, unable to bear listening to this boastful guy.
"Save the rest for next time. We're going to sleep. Get lost," Lao Da, who had been listening for a long time, was very annoyed. Seeing that it was almost time to turn off the lights, he directly told Guo Yu to leave.
Lao Da was really depressed. Even Guo Yu, that second-rate guy, had a girlfriend, but he didn't even have a shadow of a girlfriend.
Guo Yu, after saying a few more words, happily went back to his dormitory. If he didn't share his success with his classmates, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Lao Da looked at Dong Dong and laughed, "Good brother, isn't your pure girl from the Traditional Chinese Medicine University? Can you introduce a suitable girl to me? Just a little prettier than Guo Yu's."
Dong Dong waved his hands, trying to avoid the request, "Forget it, Lao Da. You have so many girls, don't ruin others' lives."
Lao Da rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Who spread this rumor? I'm a pure boy, and my first love is still there."
As he spoke, he pressed Dong Dong onto the bed, laughing and playing, and Dong Dong screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Damn, you ungrateful guy. Lao Da has told you so many jokes to help you get girls, and you'll definitely get one during the winter break. You're ungrateful, and I'll tell Jiaojiao about your porn habit."
Lao Da was very indignant as he spoke.
Jiaojiao was Dong Dong's childhood friend. They had been apart for a while, but with Lao Da's guidance, their relationship had developed rapidly, and they had basically confirmed their relationship. Lao Da and Jiaojiao also had a good relationship.
Jiaojiao really liked Dong Dong and, by extension, was willing to get along well with his good friends. She was a very lively girl, and Liu Meng also had her phone number in his phone, and they had chatted a few times.
"Don't... don't. During the winter break, I'll ask around and see if there's a suitable girl to introduce to Lao Da, okay?" Dong Dong, having been hit where it hurt, quickly surrendered and begged for mercy.
Dong Dong, even in college, was still a pure sheet of paper. Lao Da had taught him a lot of knowledge and often took him to observe and learn, so he relied heavily on Lao Da.
"Alright, that's better!" Lao Da was satisfied and let Dong Dong go, getting off him.
