Chapter 714: Chapter 713: Hezi Looks for a Hammer

Lin Nianhe’s dormitory room number was 208, Wang Shumei was right next door in 206, and Wen Lan was upstairs in 303.

They didn’t arrive early, and there were already others in the dormitory.

The dormitory was a six-person room, with two bunk beds to the right of the entrance and one bunk bed tucked on the left side. A desk was placed by the window, and another desk along with a cabinet that had six doors was placed near the door on the left side.

Two students had already arrived in room 208. Lin Nianhe entered and greeted them, then placed her luggage on the top bunk on the left side.

The girl in the lower bunk was Zhao Haimei, who had short hair and had already made her bed. She was sitting on the bed folding clothes. Seeing Lin Nianhe choosing the upper bunk, she reminded, "There’s another lower bunk available."

Her voice was especially gentle, which instantly reminded Lin Nianhe of Aunt Wen.

"Thank you," Lin Nianhe couldn’t help but also soften her tone, "but I prefer the upper bunk."

Although the lower bunk was more convenient, it inevitably meant others might sit on her bed, and with many secrets, the upper bunk was more suitable.

Zhao Haimei nodded her head and didn’t speak further, continuing to focus on her own tasks.

Lin Nianhe took off her shoes and climbed up to the upper bunk, first wiping down the bed board. While waiting for the bed to dry, she took out a light apricot-colored bed curtain that she had custom made from her backpack and hung it on the mosquito net frame.

Such items, easily purchasable in later times, were not available for purchase currently.

However, custom-making was not difficult—Lin Nianhe simply took a mosquito net and had the tailor sew three pieces of fabric along the edges of the net’s top; one for the top and two for the curtains.

Living in the dormitory was inevitable, but having a small private space was also very important for her.

After hanging the curtains, Lin Nianhe let out a long sigh of relief.

"Wow! Your curtain is really pretty!"

Lin Nianhe heard the voice, lifted the curtain, and poked her head out to see the girl in the opposite lower bunk, called Zhou Li, looking curiously at her bed curtain.

"I had it made by a tailor," Lin Nianhe explained with a smile, "I can’t sleep when it’s too bright."

"It’s really pretty. How much fabric did it take?"

"About eight or nine meters, I don’t quite remember."

"Sigh... never mind then."

Eight or nine meters of fabric—that’s enough to make several pairs of pants!

Both Zhao Haimei and Zhou Li looked at Lin Nianhe with a somewhat strange expression.

Lin Nianhe shrugged her shoulders with a smile and let the curtain fall.

She first spread a thin mattress wrapped in a mattress cover on the bed, using it to hold down the three curtains, and then laid out the mattress and bedsheet.

After trying it out, it was soft and comfortable.

She arranged her blanket and pillow, lifted the curtain, and climbed down from the bed.

Lin Nianhe didn’t bring too many clothes; after all, she could go home on weekends, so it wasn’t too much of a hassle.

In her two suitcases, one quarter was clothes, one quarter was food, and the rest were books.

Books... clearly there was no place for them.

Lin Nianhe thought about installing a shelf on the wall next to her bed.

But she had no hammer in her suitcase and was afraid of being seen if she took one directly from her space.

Hammer, hammer... Hammering?

Lin Nianhe casually closed her suitcase, grabbed her keys, and ran out, trotting up to room 303: "Sister Lan, did you bring a hammer?"

Wen Lan: "Do I look like a hammer to you?"

Who would think to bring a hammer to college?

"Always threatening to hammer me, and yet you don’t even have a hammer... Humph, liar."

Wen Lan: "...?"

Was she reminding herself that in the future she needed to use a hammer to hit her?

This request... really was irrefutable.

Wen Lan swiftly jumped down from the upper bunk, grabbed Lin Nianhe, and started walking out, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to find a hammer!"

Lin Nianhe: "...?"

Why was she more anxious than me?

Seemingly in a rush to hammer someone.

"Meizi, did you bring a hammer?"

Wang Shumei was perplexed: "You just arrived, who are you planning to hit?"

Wen Lan pointed at Lin Nianhe, eyes twinkling with excited little stars: "It has nothing to do with me, it’s Hezi looking for Chuizi!"

Lin Nianhe: "..."

That sounded really eerie.

Suddenly, she felt like it didn’t matter if she didn’t have a bookshelf.

Not important, really.

She was not that kind of fussy person.

The unfussy Student Xiao Lin shoved a box of books under the bed, although it might be a bit of a hassle to take them out and back, but it was better than getting beaten up over this matter.

She finished organizing her stuff, just as the last three roommates arrived at the dorm.

"Hello, my name is Feng Yajing, from the Western Languages Department, English major."

"I’m Zheng Xiaoyan, also an English major."

"I’m Chen Wenjie, I study German."

All three of them and Zhou Li are from the Western Languages Department, but Zhou Li majors in French.

"Hello," Zhao Haimei was still gentle and sweet, her voice sweet enough to drip honey, "Student Lin Nianhe and I are in the Physics Department."

"I heard there are very few girls in your major... Eh? Lin Nianhe? Lin Nianhe!"

Feng Yajing, whose name sounded cultured, was actually quite spirited. She suddenly sprung in front of Lin Nianhe, curiously circling around her: "Are you Lin Nianhe? The nation’s top scorer?"

Lin Nianhe waved at her: "Hello, I am Lin Nianhe."

"Wow, the living top scorer of the nation!"

Lin Nianhe: "..."

"You’re amazing, how did you study?"

"You just graduated from high school, right?"

"Going to the countryside? Where did you join the team?"

Once the floodgates of questions were opened, they were hard to close.

At times like this, only one phrase is needed—

"Hezi, it’s been forty minutes, your Brother Yuncheng is downstairs."

Wang Shumei knocked on room 208, motioned Lin Nianhe to look towards the window with a tilt of her chin.

"Eh? That was quick?"

Lin Nianhe glanced at her watch, indeed it was the agreed time, she waved to her roommates, "I’m going out to eat, are you guys coming?"

"You go ahead, I need to organize my stuff."

"Same here, I’ll go eat after I’m done."

Lin Nianhe didn’t insist, she left along with Wang Shumei and Wen Lan to meet Su Yuncheng downstairs.

"The eldest sister in my dorm is pregnant," Wang Shumei quietly shared the new gossip, "two months already."

"This timing..." Lin Nianhe wondered, "she got pregnant after the exams? What was she thinking?"

Wang Shumei whispered, "She sneaked out, her in-laws didn’t want her to attend university, but didn’t want people talking either. They thought she wouldn’t get accepted, but when the scores came out, 299, they panicked and wanted her to get pregnant..."

"Doesn’t she lack even a recommendation letter? How did she travel by train?"

"She came from over by Zhangjiakou, over four hundred Li on foot!" Wang Shumei patted her chest still in disbelief, "I can’t even imagine how she came."

Lin Nianhe glanced at her, "See, in-laws aren’t kind-hearted, and in the end, this is what happens."

Wen Lan also stared intently, "Exactly, just think about how Aunt Zhao treats Yu Xiangqin, practically spoon-feeding her."

Wang Shumei: "..."

Exaggeration aside, now if two male dogs fought each other along the road, they both could forcefully argue it was a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict.
