Chapter 57 The Fragrance Cried
He Biqiong carefully put away the form as if it were a treasure, and enthusiastically came up to help Su Peixue pull her suitcase and take her to the dormitory.
"Thank you, senior. I can do it myself."
"I'll help you! You'll be exhausted from military training tomorrow."
The girls' dormitory building is located at the very back of the campus. He Yuqiong led Su Peixue, dragging her suitcase around the cafeteria, across a path lined with sycamore trees, and insisted on carrying the suitcase up to the 5th floor.
As a result, she couldn't lift it when she got to the third floor.
Su Peixue pulled out a few tissues to wipe He Biqiong's sweat, then carried her suitcase up to the 5th floor.
"arrive!"
He Biqiong led her to the dormitory door and gave her some tips for military training, telling her to choose a size larger military training shoes and to put two sanitary napkins inside the shoes during the training the day after tomorrow so that her feet wouldn't hurt.
Su Peixue pushed open the dormitory door.
A girl with a high ponytail sat on the bed directly opposite the door, a small mirror with a lamp in front of her, patting her face with a powder puff. Hearing the door open, she turned around, the powder puff hovering in mid-air.
She stared at Su Peixue for two seconds.
He stood up abruptly.
"Su Peixue! I actually got assigned to the same dorm room as you! My name is Song Yin, and I'm from Guangdong Province!"
A pretty girl with a ponytail greeted Su Peixue with a charming smile and enthusiastically pulled her along.
The girl in the lower bunk by the window turned around. She had bangs, a round face, and was holding a bag of potato chips. Her name was Zhao Yining. She looked at Su Peixue and then at Song Yin.
"You two know each other?"
"She's the girl you were talking about earlier, the one who jumped into the river in Hanfu to save people!"
Song Yin said to Su Peixue, "I just saw you on the campus forum and found out we go to the same school. What a coincidence!"
Su Peixue's photo has already appeared on the campus forum. Song Yin just saw it and recognized her at a glance. She also knew that Su Peixue was from the law department and kept talking about it, hoping to run into a roommate. And she actually did.
Su Peixue can now be considered a minor internet celebrity.
Song Yin threw the powder puff on the table, stood up and walked over to Su Peixue, looking her up and down.
You're even more beautiful in person than on screen!
"Thanks."
Su Peixue responded politely.
Zhao Yining leaned closer, munching on potato chips. "Oh, that? I remembered too."
The girl in the upper bunk wore black-rimmed round glasses and held a Kindle in her hand. She glanced down at Su Peixue. "My name is Tan Shuang, from Jiangxi Province."
"My name is Zhao Yining, from Hubei Province. Do you want some potato chips?" Zhao Yining held out the bag.
The girl pinched a few pieces and put them in her mouth, crunching as she said, "My name is Su Peixue, from Hunan."
"Wow, you three are truly from Hubei, Jiangxi, and Hunan!"
Song Yin chuckled and turned to get her phone. She set up the selfie stick, opened the KS camera app, and grabbed Su Peixue's arm.
"Come on, let's make a video. Xuexue, can I ride this wave of popularity?" She turned to Su Peixue, smiling broadly. "I have over 50,000 followers on Kuaishou. If you appear on camera, my followers will probably double!"
Su Peixue nodded slightly.
She's not as cold as she was a few months ago. Before, if someone approached her, she would back away and reach into her sleeve for a knife. Now she doesn't.
The zookeeper restored the cat to its original appearance.
Song Yin adjusted the phone's angle and pulled Su Peixue to stand in the center of the frame. Zhao Yining peeked in from the side, holding a bag of potato chips, while Tan Shuang remained seated on the upper bunk, though her Kindle was already placed down. After recording for about ten seconds, Song Yin made a heart shape with her hands towards the camera, then gave the center position to Su Peixue.
After taking the photos, Song Yin threw her phone on the bed and pulled Su Peixue to sit in front of her makeup mirror.
"You look so good even without makeup. If I do your makeup later, won't you seduce all the guys?"
Su Peixue remembered seeing Song Yin's KS homepage earlier.
The most popular video has over a million views. She was wearing a sundress and filming a giant swing ride with very glamorous makeup, which is quite different from her current cute schoolgirl look.
Although Su Peixue goes about her life without makeup, she doesn't object to wearing any. She just thinks cosmetics are quite expensive and prefers to use the money to buy food.
But if makeup makes her look prettier and makes the zookeepers like her more, Su Peixue is willing to try it.
Su Peixue pulled a red plastic bag from her suitcase. Xu Wanru had given it to her before she left; it contained two braised ducks, a specialty of Hunan.
"I'll treat you to some!"
She placed the braised duck on the table, tore open a bag, and the aroma wafted out. Su Peixue couldn't help but lick her lips.
Zhao Yining leaned closer.
"Is it spicy?"
Su Peixue shook her head, "It's not spicy, I'll eat it for you."
She tore off a piece of duck meat and put it in her mouth. The sauce was savory and spicy, and the girl's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents. Then she licked the oil off her fingers.
Smelling the aroma, Song Yin put down her foundation and walked over. She looked at the torn braised duck, then reached out and tore off a duck leg.
"I'll try it."
She took a big bite and chewed twice.
Her face flushed red at a visible speed, sweat seeped from her temples and streamed down her cheeks. Her eyes welled up with tears, and then they streamed down her face.
Just then, Su Peixue's phone rang.
The QQ message was sent by Lin Ran.
How are things going with your roommate?
She lowered her head and typed.
[I treated them to some delicious braised duck, and one of the girls cried from the aroma; she probably had never tasted such delicious braised duck before!]
When Lin Ran saw this message, she couldn't help but ask, "Where is she from?"
[From Guangdong Province.]
That was so spicy it made me cry!
Su Peixue looked up at Song Yin. Song Yin's eyes were red, and tears hung on her cheeks, which were puffing out.
"Song Yin, is it spicy?"
Song Yin sniffled and shook her head.
"This level of spiciness is a bit sweet to me."
Tan Shuang leaned down from the upper bunk: "Then why are you all sweaty?"
"It's so hot!"
Zhao Yining found the remote control and turned on the air conditioner.
Tan Shuang leaned down again: "But your snot is almost in your mouth."
I've caught a cold...
Zhao Yining turned off the air conditioner again.
Tan Shuang pulled a tissue from beside her pillow and handed it to her.
"Wipe it off, your tears have ruined your makeup."
Song Yin took the tissue and blew her eyes dry. "I'm sleepy."
Zhao Yining looked at her, her round eyes full of admiration. "You're amazing! You can eat spicy food just like Xuexue."
Upon hearing the words "just like Xuexue," Song Yin crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then raised her chin.
"certainly!"
The reason she was so stubborn was because she saw Su Peixue eating spicy food and didn't react at all.
Song Yin is a girl who aspires to become a big internet celebrity. She thinks Su Peixue is very impressive, so she compares herself to her.
What Su Peixue can do, I must do too!
Zhao Yining then rummaged through the red plastic bag and pulled out several packets of Dongting fish tails from the bottom.
"This looks spicier, it's a trendy food challenge, but it should be a piece of cake for you, right?"
Song Yin couldn't help but tremble.
Please stop talking.
"Of course, but I'm a little sleepy, I'll take a nap first."
She climbed into bed, pulled the blanket over her face, and burst into tears.
Su Peixue pursed her cherry lips, then took out a bottle of yogurt from her bag, inserted the straw, and stood on tiptoe to place it next to Song Yin's pillow.
After a while, a sizzling sound came from the bed.
