Chapter 173 Roommate
"Hello, Li Xiaonuan and Lin Xi, my name is Jian hope."
Li Xiaonuan's eyes lit up. "Ah, I remember you. You participated in the city's table tennis competition and are also good at basketball and soccer. I'm so envious of you. You have such athletic talent. I was out of breath just climbing up five floors."
Jian hope laughed heartily and patted Li Xiaonuan on the shoulder, "Haha, you're not bad either. Your paintings have even been published in magazines. I used to study painting, but I just didn't have the talent, so I gave up."
Jianxi is tall with a wheat-colored complexion. When she smiles, she looks like a cheerful young man.
Lin Xi looked at the quiet girl beside her. She had a baby face, was petite, and looked a little awkward.
She took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Your name is Shu Zhi, right? I remembered your name immediately when you introduced yourself; it sounds very nice."
Her self-introduction was also very special, even shorter than her actual name, simply stating "My name is Shu Zhi" and that was it.
Shu Zhi blushed and nodded shyly.
If Li Xiaonuan's mouth is a never-ending engine, then Shu Zhi is a taciturn person who rarely utters a word; the two are like two extremes.
When assigning beds, everyone discussed it among themselves, but Shu Zhi either nodded or shook her head, and even Li Xiaonuan couldn't do anything about it.
After the four of them packed their things, they went out for dinner together. Girls' friendships are very easy to build, and by the end of the meal, they had all gotten to know each other.
Li Xiaonuan finally asked her question, "Shuzhi, is your throat feeling a little uncomfortable?"
The girl's face turned red again. "No, no, I, I stutter a little, so, usually... no, I don't like to talk much."
Li Xiaonuan opened her mouth wide in surprise, not because Shu Zhi stuttered, but because, "Wow, Shu Zhi, your voice is so nice, so gentle. You should talk more. Listening to your voice is like getting a massage."
Lin Xi was also surprised for a moment. If you didn't look at her appearance, Shu Zhi's voice sounded even younger than hers.
Jianxi patted Shuzhi's shoulder like an older sister, "See? I told you no one would mind. You just need to practice more, and you'll gradually get it right."
"You don't know, Shuzhi and I were classmates before. She used to be even more quiet, and I followed her around every day acting as her translator. It's unprecedented that I can say so much on our first day meeting you."
Li Xiaonuan chuckled, "That's because she hasn't met me yet. Just you wait and see, I guarantee I can train her to the point where she feels restless if she doesn't speak for a day."
Lin Xi nodded in agreement, "Xiao Nuan really has that ability. I suspect she talks in her sleep all night long, without stopping."
Everyone, including Shu Zhi, burst into laughter.
Lin Xi was very satisfied with her roommates. Although they had very different personalities, they were all easy to get along with. If it weren't for the fact that she had too many things to do, she would have liked to live with them forever.
The school's rules and regulations are indeed very strict. That evening, someone came to inspect the dormitories, focusing on the freshmen's wardrobes and confiscating a bunch of snacks and cell phones.
Including Lin Xi's phone.
Lin Xi remained calm and continued reading her math book.
Today's system learning tasks have been updated, requiring her to review the first semester of the first year of high school math. In the past, she would have found it very difficult, but now, with her superb comprehension, logical thinking, and photographic memory, it's like reading a children's book, she handles it with ease.
The others were still lamenting over their lost phones and snacks when they saw Lin Xi mechanically flipping through the book like a scanner. They whispered among themselves, saying, "She's too calm. Nine years old is the age when she should be crying and making a fuss. How come she doesn't react at all?"
Jianxi shook her head and said, "Perhaps her only hobby is studying. Taking her phone is fine, but taking her books might cause a scene."
It has to be said that Jian hope is right; she'll never forgive anyone who interferes with Lin Xi's completion of the system's tasks.
As for her phone, she really didn't feel any reluctance to part with it.
Before the start of the semester, Director Niu had said that he would communicate directly with Dong Yongshu and make an exception to allow her to use her mobile phone.
Lin Xi felt that since everyone's phones had been confiscated, it wouldn't be good for her to be the only one carrying one, so she specifically explained that she could use it for one hour each day and arranged a daily communication time with Huo Chuan.
When Dong Yongshu received the call from the police station, his originally solemn expression became even more strange.
Is Lin Xi a police consultant?
Are you on official business?
Should we give her an hour of talk time every day?
After hanging up the phone, he sat there for a long time, still unable to understand why a nine-year-old girl could be a police consultant. What exactly are the standards for a police consultant? Could Lin Xi also solve cases?
In any case, the police chief has spoken. From now on, he will not only have to send Lin Xi a phone call every day, but he will also have to prepare a separate space for Lin Xi to make phone calls.
They said Lin Xi's phone is very important and cannot be accessed by outsiders. The content of her calls is even more important and no one is allowed to know it.
Dong Yongshu couldn't help but sigh. Before the official start of the semester, Lin Xi had already broken several of the rules he had set for himself, and he had even become Lin Xi's little assistant.
However, he didn't know that this assistant position wasn't something anyone could get. His information had been reviewed by Fang Zonglin, who knew that he was of upright character and had served in the army before, which was why he was entrusted with keeping his phone.
Otherwise, if the information is accidentally leaked, no one can bear the responsibility.
It wasn't until much later that Dong Yongshu realized how great Lin Xi's actions were and how meaningful his act of giving away the phone was.
The next day, the alarm bell rang urgently. Lin Xi opened her eyes and quickly got dressed.
In the next bed, Jianxi also acted quickly.
Only Li Xiaonuan and Shu Zhi rubbed their eyes, seemingly still asleep.
Lin Xi woke the two up, "Xiao Nuan, Shu Zhi, wake up quickly, or we'll miss breakfast."
Each dormitory room has a schedule posted on the wall, with fixed times for meals and rest. If you go outside of those times, you'll go hungry.
After putting on their military training uniforms, the group quickly ran towards the cafeteria, with Lin Xi dragging Li Xiaonuan along and Jian Xi dragging Shu Zhi along.
Although Dong Yongshu was abnormally strict with his students, his accommodation and food were far superior to those of other schools.
The variety and exquisite breakfast options were dazzling: steamed buns and dumplings with all sorts of fillings, colorful steamed buns and twisted rolls, golden-yellow fried dough and steamed cakes...
They even have five or six kinds of porridge, as well as yogurt, milk, soy milk...
It has everything you could want, and you can choose whatever you like. But there's one thing you shouldn't waste.
The consequences of the waste are visible to everyone who comes to the cafeteria. The photos are enlarged and posted on the wall for public criticism. After class, students are required to come and help the cafeteria staff with their work.
Working was a minor matter; it was too embarrassing to have such a large photo on the wall. So even though the freshmen wanted to eat a lot of things, they restrained themselves and only took what they could eat.
Lin Xi and the others cleaned up their plates thoroughly, leaving not a single crumb, and then hurriedly rushed to the playground.
