With this ruckus, no one was in the mood to hold a Lantern Festival party. In fact, no one mentioned it again. After this battle, Chen Xin was the only one who benefited. It was also difficult for him to keep up his spirit of "fighting after losing". In front of others, he became more and more confident. Sometimes, he would take the initiative to discuss poetry with Autumn Beam, but Autumn Beam would always find an excuse to leave.
Autumn Beam wanted to buy a laptop. His parents had the same idea when he was at home during the winter break and had already transferred money to his card. The school had a clear rule that freshmen did not prepare computers, so they could only go to the internet cafe every day. It just so happened that Hu Shi and Zhi Tian also wanted to buy a computer. When the weather was better, they agreed to go to the computer city to buy it.
Computer City was huge, and there were many brands. The three of them walked leisurely from the first floor to the sixth floor. Boys were not like girls when they shopped at the mall. When girls saw something nice and liked it, they would try it no matter what. The boys were more purposeful. Even though they spent more than an hour comparing, in the end, all three of them chose the most suitable computer in their hearts. There was no need to haggle too much. As long as the product met the requirements, the boys would finish it quickly.
It was only noon when they came back with their computers. The boys 'dormitory immediately exploded. Students came to visit them one after another to see their new computers. There were people asking about the price, and there were people trying it out. Autumn Beam's dormitory was instantly filled with people.
"Alright, it's just a laptop. What's there to see? It's blocking our door!”Chen Xin said unhappily.
"Why? Can't I come to your dormitory for a walk?”Someone asked unhappily.
"Alright, go back. I'll give it to whoever wants to play. Go back!”Autumn Beam felt that this matter was all because of her, and there was no need to cause a conflict between classmates, so she quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Alright, let's go. We can't come to this dormitory!”The students left one by one.
One evening, Autumn Beam was playing computer games alone in the dormitory when the door suddenly opened. Chen Xin led in a man wearing a hat.
"This is our dormitory. There are four of us. The conditions are not bad.”
"Uh, it's alright." The man replied with disdain.
Autumn Beam paused the game and looked at the two of them. Her eyes met Chen Xin's. Chen Xin did not look at him. He took the key from his waist and opened the door of his cabinet. He turned around and said to the man,"Just leave the computer here. Nothing will happen!”
The man looked at the cabinet carefully, then looked at Autumn Beam and asked Chen Xin,""Is this cabinet really safe?"
"Don't worry, absolutely. There are people in our dormitory. We won't let anyone steal it.”Chen Xin answered firmly.
"Hey! I'll go out later. I haven't eaten yet.”Autumn Beam wiped her mouth.
"That doesn't matter. These locks are still locked!”
"I'll carry it on my back!”
These words clearly didn't believe Autumn Beam, but Autumn Beam wasn't angry when she heard them."It's good that you carry it yourself. Otherwise, if you really lose it, won't you blame it on me?”
After a while, Chen Xin led the man out again, probably to eat. After they left, Autumn Beam logged out of the game, put away her computer, and went out to eat. At the canteen, she happened to bump into Ge Bin. It was rare for him not to accompany Qian Yue. As soon as Autumn Beam walked over, Ge Bin asked him,"Who is the man that Chen Xin is leading?”
"You saw it too?"
"Of course, it's such a strong aura. Why can't I see it?”
"Mind your own business. Why aren't you with Qian Yue? Be careful not to let anyone snatch her away.”
"F * ck you. Didn't school just start? Her literature club has a lot of things to deal with and is very busy.”
"Oh."
" That's why we have to keep an eye on them. There are many talented people in the literature club. If they give them to us…"
"Speaking of this, I'm not worried. It's not like I don't know those people from the literary club. Even I don't like the articles they write. He was probably on the same level as Chen Xin.”
"Why are we talking about him again?" Autumn Beam could feel Ge Bin's resentment towards Chen Xin.
"What exactly are you thinking?"
"What?" Autumn Beam looked at him in confusion.
"On the day of the election, you wrote a note asking us to vote for him. Tell us, what were you thinking?”
"How long has it been? Why are you still entangled in this matter? Actually, the reason is very simple. We must not let Yang Lingling get selected.”
"So you chose him?"
"If you dared to participate in the election that day, we would definitely choose you.”
"Damn it, this kid is really lucky.”Ge Bin said angrily.
"Haha."
When she returned to the dormitory after dinner, everyone had already returned. Before Autumn Beam could even stop, Chen Xin had already led the man in. Seeing that everyone was here, Chen Xin finally introduced the man to everyone."This is my cousin. He's on a business trip to Jiang City. We were going to stay in a hostel outside, but we went to take a look. It didn't seem very clean, so we stayed in our dormitory for a few nights.”
Autumn Beam and Wang Chang nodded, and Yang Mo smiled in response. Autumn Beam thought,'So be it. It doesn't affect me at all.' Just as he was thinking this, he heard Chen Xin calling him.
"Autumn Beam, Autumn Beam, I beg of you…"
"Beg me for something? What is it?"
"My cousin and I only have one blanket. Can you lend me your blanket for two days?”
Autumn Beam was very afraid of the cold. In addition to a quilt, he also had another blanket. Usually, she would be wrapped in a blanket and covered with a quilt, so it was quite warm to sleep. However, what Chen Xin said made sense. No matter what, his cousin was still a guest, so he would lend it to him!
"Sure, of course!" Autumn Beam took the blanket from her bed and threw it onto Chen Xin's bed." Take it!”
"Thank you!" Chen Xin laughed. His cousin also nodded at him, as if to express his gratitude.
His cousin had been wearing the hat all the way until the lights were out. Autumn Beam thought, Is this person more afraid of the cold than me? He did not dare to take off his hat in the house. Autumn Beam lay down and covered herself with the blanket to sleep. Perhaps it was because she was used to sleeping with the blanket wrapped around her, but now that it was gone, she felt a little cold. Forget it, she curled up and slept.
" Autumn Beam." One day, Chen Xin was fiddling with his cousin's computer alone."Can you tell me a few websites?"
"Uh, what?" Autumn Beam was puzzled.
"That kind of website, you know. Haha!"
Autumn Beam immediately understood, because the words " you know " had almost become synonymous with some special websites. "What? I don't know. If you know, tell me a few.”
"You don't know either?"
"I don't know."
Wang Chang and Yang Mo got up from the bed and stared at them.
"Calm down and continue sleeping!" Autumn Beam waved her hand, indicating for them to lie down.
"Haha, since you really don't know, then forget it.”
After a few days, his cousin finished his business and finally left Jiang City. Autumn Beam was secretly delighted,'Thank goodness you didn't lose your laptop, or else you'd suspect that I stole it.' By right, since his cousin had left, Chen Xin should have returned the blanket to Autumn Beam. However, it was as if he had forgotten about it. Even when he was about to sleep, he still did not have this intention. Autumn Beam was a little surprised, so he could only take the initiative to say,""Hey, Chen Xin, you should return my blanket to me now, right?”
"What? I've gotten used to it these few days. Your blanket is so comfortable. Can I borrow it for a few more days?”
Autumn Beam's face darkened when she heard that.""I'm afraid not. I didn't want to lend it to you in the first place. I only lent it to you because your cousin was around these few days. I'm freezing to death myself. Of course, your cousin has to return it to me!”
Since he had already said so, Chen Xin could only return the blanket to him. Autumn Beam saw his unhappy expression and felt aggrieved. She thought about how she had borrowed something from him out of goodwill, but when she asked him to return it, she would be treated coldly. Hence, he felt bored and fell asleep.
Although Cousin Chen Xin had left, the news about him was still spreading. Autumn Beam had never cared about his matters, and because his cousin had made him unhappy, she couldn't be bothered with him.
For the next few days, the sky was clear and the temperature rose very quickly. When the birds on the branches chirped, Autumn Beam thought that spring had arrived. Her mood was especially relaxed as she washed away her previous depression. The students took off their winter clothes and enjoyed the warm sunshine leisurely. Autumn Beam sat peacefully in his dorm, calmly looking at the Map of Rivertown on the table, planning his grand plan, as proud as a victorious general. After drawing a few circles, he slapped his hand on the map and couldn't help but sing,"" Follow the gentle curves of the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers, let the horses love the Central Plains, love the Northlands and Jiangnan…" He was originally just going out to play, but now he was talking about this song. Even he could not help but laugh.
Dreams were always beautiful when you were asleep. Once you woke up, it would become a tragedy. After a few days, the cold air immediately returned, and the temperature plummeted to around zero degrees Celsius, freezing everyone's restless hearts like idiots. Clearly, Autumn Beam's Jiangnan temperament was very strange. She had suddenly become like a northerner. It was the most difficult to endure when it was warm and cold. The warm feeling was extinguished, and the cold was not on her body, but her heart.
What else could he do in such weather? Other than going to class, he would hide under the blanket or play on the computer. It was obvious that if this went on for a long time, not only would he feel bored, but more importantly, his back would ache. After sitting for a long time, Autumn Beam wanted to go out for a walk and visit the other dormitories. When he opened the door, he saw that most of the dormitory doors were closed. Only Hu Shi's dormitory door was open, and a burst of hearty laughter could be heard. Autumn Beam walked in and heard Ge Bin say with a smile,
"I heard that Big Cousin is a high-class white-collar worker. His monthly salary is several thousand!”
" Hahaha…" This was Hu Shi's laughter.
Autumn Beam entered and saw that there were quite a number of people in the dormitory. Zhou Jie and the others from the other dormitories were also there. They used a chair as a card table, and the four of them sat around the "table" to level up.
"Yo, it's so lively! He didn't even close the door when he was playing cards in the dormitory. Wasn't he afraid that the form teacher would come to check on him?”He closed the door.
Hu Shi smiled coldly and said," I don't believe he'll come on such a cold day. Even if he comes, I'm not afraid. At most, I'll ask him to fight with me.”
"You're indeed domineering. I have to remind you that you're no longer the class monitor. You should keep a low profile.”
"There's nothing to be low-key about."
Autumn Beam knew that no matter how she persuaded him, he would not change his nature, so she did not say anything more. "Which one of you is talking about cousin?”
"Whose? Who are you talking about?"
Autumn Beam was at a loss and asked in confusion,""Who is it? Don't beat around the bush!”
"Chen Xin, who else could it be? Could it be that you have such a handsome and elegant cousin?”Ge Bin raised his head at a 45-degree angle and said contemptuously.
" You, you..." Autumn Beam pointed at Ge Bin. Ge Bin's face was full of disdain, so he could only say helplessly,""Alright, I didn't! You slandered my Big Chen Xin and my Big Cousin Chen Xin.”
"Alright, don't act like you're good friends. Besides, he said it himself. I didn't make it up.”
"He said it himself? Why didn't I know?" In the past, Chen Xin would often brag about himself or his relatives and classmates in the dormitory, but this time, he didn't say anything.
Hu Shi stood up at this time and said in a very certain and slightly disdainful tone,"He's extremely low-key in front of us, but he's extremely show-off in front of girls!”He looked at Autumn Beam and continued,"He said his cousin was so talented, handsome, and well-paid. He even wanted to introduce his cousin to a girlfriend and ask them if there were any girls he wanted to meet…Oh my god, how disgusting.”
"How is it disgusting? You must be jealous!"
"Am I jealous of him? What a joke!" Hu Shi said angrily,"How can I offend a person who 'disappoints' his head at a young age?”
"Remove the roof?" Autumn Beam was even more puzzled.
"He's bald!"
"What is it? Why didn't I notice it? Did you make it up again?”
"Why would I make it up? Does he always wear a hat?”
"That's true. So you said he's bald?”
"He secretly told Liu Qi about this and even asked Liu Qi to keep it a secret for him.”
"In the end, Liu Qi turned around and told you. This idiot actually believed that women would keep secrets! Looks like he really deserved it!"
Hearing Autumn Beam's words, everyone in the dormitory laughed. It was unknown whether they were laughing at Chen Xin or Liu Qi.
