"Nianhua, what are those materials you’ve been carrying around every day?" Fei Jiayi asked as she chewed on a lollipop, having seen Xu Nianhua carrying the documents around more than a few times.
"Just some useful stuff."
Xu Nianhua paused for a moment and didn’t specify what kind of documents they were. She had already translated more than half of them and by this Saturday, she would be able to complete the task.
"Oh, how’s your brain grown?" Fei Jiayi’s eyes widened as she looked at her, almost wishing she could peel open her brain. How could she be so smart?
"Just like yours," Xu Nianhua grinned and bent down to continue translating.
Fei Jiayi pouted and said, "Yeah, right, you’re so smart. Stop burying yourself in your books all the time. Here, have a lollipop."
She grabbed a lollipop and tossed it onto Xu Nianhua’s bed across from her, saying, "This one is really tasty. My dad brought it from abroad, it’s really hard to find and super delicious."
Xu Nianhua looked at the candy and then threw it back, saying, "I don’t eat candy. Remember to brush your teeth after you finish, or the bugs will get your teeth."
"I still have a lot of candy!" Fei Jiayi didn’t believe Xu Nianhua’s words and tossed the candy back again.
"Eat it, look, there’s a whole bunch!"
Fei Jiayi waved the bag in her hand to show she still had candies, saying, "Nianhua, what, you don’t think much of my candies?"
Watching the tossed candy, Xu Nianhua didn’t throw it back this time. Under Fei Jiayi’s expectant gaze, she peeled off the wrapper and put it in her mouth, where the sweet candy slowly melted.
"How’s it, tastes good, right?" Fei Jiayi watched Xu Nianhua with a smile, pleased that she had accepted her candy.
As people in the dormitory gradually came back, Fei Jiayi handed out one candy to each person, but when it came to Liao Jinling, Fei Jiayi didn’t offer her any, just saying, "You wouldn’t want it, would you?"
Liao Jinling glared at her but didn’t respond, and went to bed early to rest.
"Hey, did the sun rise from the west today?"
Fei Jiayi waited a while and still didn’t get a response from Liao Jinling, appearing surprised as she peered down from her bunk.
Liao Jinling was turned away from her, pulling the blanket over herself like she was asleep.
"Going to sleep this early? What’s up with her?" It was extremely odd to Fei Jiayi. Usually, whenever she chatted with Liao Jinling, no matter what she said, Liao Jinling always had a retort ready.
"I don’t know. She was fine during class today," Ding Guo shook her head. In the dormitory, she was the jolly one, quickly switching topics, and soon the dormitory was bustling as usual.
Zhou Wanwan, Chang Hui, and Xu Nianhua were the three most studious in the dormitory.
Fei Jiayi and Liao Jinling would always spar when they met, while Ding Guo liked to crack jokes, usually chatting with Fei Yiyi.
Right at the dormitory’s lights-out time, the previously lively dorm became quiet in an instant, so quiet that one could only hear everyone breathing.
Fei Jiayi slept in a daze, feeling her bed shake from time to time.
Fei Jiayi was woken up by the noise, unable to sleep again. As she listened closely, she felt that Liao Jinling in the bunk below seemed to be quietly groaning in pain?
"Liao Jinling, are you going to sleep or not?" Fei Jiayi flipped over, annoyed, and looking down in the moonlight, she faintly saw Liao Jinling seemed to be curling up her body?
Fei Jiayi turned over, intending to go back to sleep, but Liao Jinling’s voice kept echoing in her ears, making it unbearable for Fei Jiayi.
