Chapter 355: Unexpected

In dormitory 405.

Kong Runlong persuaded in a soft voice.

"Brother Peng, why don't you check your place carefully again to see if there is anything prohibited. Why don't you put away the power strip as well?"

Peng Hongfei waved his hand.

"I don't believe that other dormitories don't have this thing. If he dares to target me, I will confront him directly in front of the instructor."

Wu Shiming was carefully tidying up his desk. He also took out several books such as "No Longer Human" and "Walden" from his suitcase and placed them on the shelf.

He rubbed his chin and looked at his position for a while, then felt dissatisfied again.

After thinking about it, I simply turned on the desk lamp again, placed "Walden" on the table, and turned it upside down with half of the book open.

Now I am satisfied.

At this time, when he heard Peng Hongfei, his brows frowned and he said unhappily.

"Old Peng, can you please put your piece away quickly?!"

Peng Hongfei glared at him.

"Whether I accept it or not is my own business. Why are you urging me? How does it affect you?!"

After what happened just now, Wu Shiming knew that this guy was different from the coward Kong Runlong. He was a tough guy who was not easy to mess with, so he spoke in a softer voice.

"It doesn't matter if it affects me or not."

"It's okay if you have your own problems, but could you please consider everyone else and not bring shame to our dormitory in front of the counselor?"

"This is the collective honor of our dormitory."

"In the future, we will consider these things when judging awards and honors..."

Wu Shiming used the collective and everyone to argue with Peng Hongfei, and Peng Hongfei couldn't stand it.

"I know, I know, I'll take it, don't bother talking any more."

Peng Hongfei couldn't stand Wu Shiming's nagging anymore, so he finally stood up and put away the socket strip with a clang.

Kong Runlong was in front of Xu Cheng's desk at this time, pulling down his power strip and putting it away.

At this time, the dormitory door was pushed open.

The three people in the dormitory looked towards the door at the same time.

The person who came in was Xu Cheng, carrying a plastic bag and a bottle of laundry detergent.

"Brother Xu, you're back. I thought it was the instructor and the dormitory inspector who came." Kong Runlong said to Xu Cheng with a simple smile, "Brother Xu, your power strip. I was afraid it was prohibited, so I put it away for you."

Xu Cheng took the power strip from him and put the laundry detergent on his desk.

"Yes, it's almost here. I just saw the instructor on the first floor. Well, I brought you some drinks."

He handed the bag of three glasses of lemonade to Kong Runlong. Wu Shiming hurried over at this time, fearing that his cup would be missing.

"What drink?"

"Lemonade ."

"I heard from a senior that the lemonade at school doesn't taste good. I still prefer Luckin's coffee..."

With a disgusted expression on his face, Wu Shiming had already hurriedly taken his cup from the bag, sat in his chair, and leisurely put his cup into the straw and began to drink.

Although it is already September, the weather is still hot. It is really pleasant to have a drink at this time of year.

Kong Runlong counted.

"Brother Xu, I only bought three cups. Don't you want to drink?"

Xu Cheng waved his hand, "Drink it, I bought it for you."

Kong Runlong felt a little embarrassed, and spoke in a low voice with his butt raised.

"That's embarrassing. I won't drink it. There's so much sugar in this water. I just want to lose some weight..."

Wu Shiming gulped down a mouthful and nodded in agreement.

"Lao Kong, you really should drink less of these drinks. You're already so fat. If you keep drinking these things, be careful of getting diabetes or something."

Kong Runlong awkwardly put the drink back on Xu Cheng's table.

As for Peng Hongfei, Xu Cheng had already helped him a lot in the evening, so he felt embarrassed to accept Xu Cheng's lemonade. He declined it and the two drinks were placed on Xu Cheng's table.

Wu Shiming had just finished a glass of lemonade when the dormitory door was pushed open.

The one who came in was the counselor of the Economics and Management Class 2, the bald Zhao Tian, and their class assistants—

Geng Daofu who just had a fight with Peng Hongfei.

When the people in the dormitory saw Zhao Tian, they all stood up and greeted him.

"Teacher Zhao."

"Hello, teacher."

When Geng Daofu saw Peng Hongfei, his face immediately darkened.

Zhao Tian naturally didn't know what was going on. He first asked several people in the dormitory about their hometowns and whether they had adapted to the school environment.

Wu Shiming saw that the thermos cup in Zhao Tian's hand was empty with only tea leaves left. He thought for a moment and reached out to pick up the two glasses of lemonade on Xu Cheng's table and handed them to him.

"Teacher Zhao, take this water and drink it."

"And Geng Banzhu, keep collecting."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. We've all drunk it. This water is for you two."

Wu Shiming was not worried that Xu Cheng would blame him for acting on his own.

After all, he was also trying to bring honor to the dormitory. In order to help the whole dormitory leave a good impression in front of the counselor, sacrificing two glasses of lemonade for you, Xu Cheng, was nothing.

Besides, not many people drink it.

Zhao Tian was stunned when he saw the water in Wu Shiming's hand.

Except for Geng Daofu, no one noticed that his eyes swept over Xu Cheng for a moment.

Kong Runlong, who was standing nearby, was dumbfounded.

He had never expected Wu Shiming to do such a thing, and quickly glanced at Xu Cheng.

I noticed that he just smiled and didn't say anything.

After some refusals, Zhao Tian and Geng Daofu still refused to accept the two glasses of water.

The lemonade was put back on the table.

Zhao Tian looked around the dormitory and saw Walden Pond on Wu Shiming's desk. He picked it up and took a look at it with great interest.

"Reading tonight?"

Wu Shiming smiled and replied, "I watched it for a while after returning from a meeting, and now you're here. I haven't finished watching it yet..."

"Well, it's good to read more books." Zhao Tian smiled and looked at a page of the book that was full of illustrations and advertisements. "Can you write a review for me after you finish reading it?"

"ah???"

Wu Shiming was stunned for a few seconds.

At this time, Zhao Tian closed the book and put it back on the table. Wu Shiming began to regret why he was stunned and did not agree in time, thus missing an opportunity to show off.

After checking again and seeing that there were no contraband items, Zhao Tian spoke in a friendly manner.

"Actually, this time, I'm not just here to check on the dormitories."

"While caring about everyone's lives, I also need to assist you in selecting a dormitory head to better manage the dormitory..."

Wu Shiming became excited when he heard this.

Dormitory head!

This is the first step in his brilliant college experience!

And in his observation.

Four people in the dormitory.

Kong Runlong was timid and honest, and could not be considered an opponent at all. He basically did not take him seriously.

As for Peng Hongfei, he had offended Geng Daofu in a fit of impulse just now. He didn't believe that Geng Daofu would watch him become the dormitory head.

Compared with him, although he was also called there just now, he had no conflicts with Geng Daofu. Secondly, he took the initiative to send a message to Geng Daofu to say hello afterwards. Geng Daofu must have a better impression of him.

The only threat is Xu Cheng.

However...based on my performance of handing over the water just now.

At this time, he probably had already left a deep impression on the instructor before Xu Cheng.

Moreover, before this, Xu Cheng's involvement in Peng Hongfei's affairs basically offended Geng Daofu.

From this perspective, Xu Cheng’s chances are no greater than his.

Then all threats are eliminated.

This is the length of the dormitory.

It feels like it's something I can do easily!

"Would anyone among you like to recommend yourself?" Zhao Tian asked.

“Ahem.”

Wu Shiming coughed twice, "Teacher, I am a native of Shanghai. I think I am capable of being the head of the dormitory and I will definitely be able to manage the dormitory in an orderly manner..."

Peng Hongfei has been enduring Wu Shiming for a long time.

Seeing that Wu Shiming had volunteered to be the dormitory head, he could no longer bear it and spoke.

"Teacher, can I recommend someone?"

Zhao Tian glanced at him.

“Who do you recommend?”

"I think Xu Cheng would be a good choice as the dormitory head."

"Xu Cheng?"

Zhao Tian glanced at him and said, "Xu Cheng, do you have this wish? It's okay. We are all democratically elected and we will follow your ideas."

Wu Shiming didn't expect this to happen, and he looked at Xu Cheng with nervous and wary eyes.

Xu Cheng smiled at Zhao Tian and finally nodded.

"I'd like to be one."

He had also considered many aspects. Given Wu Shiming's mischievous personality, if he were to be made the dormitory head, the dormitory would definitely be in a mess.

And he will also run for class monitor in the future.

After all, in college, the class monitor has more privileges than other students, and he also has more time to do other things.

He is different from ordinary students. Studying is not everything in his life. Next, there is Qingzhou's layout and development in the Magic City, which are all very important things.

And it’s going to be busy.

This meant that he was destined to have bad habits such as missing classes and staying out all night.

Only with the power of class monitor can he better help himself deal with these troubles in school.

Therefore, as a warm-up for the position of class monitor, dormitory leader, he would take the initiative to step forward even if Peng Hongfei did not mention it.

Zhao Tian glanced at the two people who were running for dormitory monitor.

"Since there are two candidates running, let's vote."

"Everyone in your dormitory who wants to run for election will get one vote. Your class assistant and I will add two more votes. If the votes are tied, I will decide the result. Do you two agree?"

When Wu Shiming heard the election rules, his uneasy heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

He calculated that even if Kong Runlong and Peng Hongfei from the dormitory did not vote for him, the two votes from the counselor and the class assistant should also be given to him.

In the end it was a tie, and the instructor waved his hand and said, wouldn’t the dormitory head still be his?

Then he smiled.

"I agree."

Xu Cheng also nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

Several people began to vote. In order to avoid causing conflicts within the dormitory, the voting was done anonymously, with each person getting a piece of paper. The final result was handed over to counselor Zhao Tian.

He took a look and revealed the final result with a smile.

"Xu Cheng here has... four votes. So Xu Cheng will be the head of your dormitory."

"???"

Wu Shiming felt as if he was hit on the back of his head and felt a little dizzy.

Slow down.

Aren’t there only four people voting?

How did Xu Cheng get all the votes?!

He looked at each person's smiling face in turn.

Kong Runlong, Peng Hongfei... these two people don't know what's good for them. They didn't intend to take their tickets in the first place.

As for Zhao Tian...

He doesn't understand.

It was obviously he who left a deeper impression on him, so why did the instructor also choose Xu Cheng?

There is also Geng Daofu.

Would he choose Xu Cheng, someone who dared to interfere in his affairs in front of his students and even slightly contradicted him?

Are you sure you didn't write it wrong?

Wu Shiming still lacks social experience.

Otherwise he would understand...

People tend to respect someone who looks difficult to deal with more than someone who can be easily controlled by them.

What's more, although it seemed that Xu Cheng had contradicted him, in fact, it was also Xu Cheng who helped him out.

Thinking more deeply, what if he goes against Xu Cheng and this kid suddenly exposes his affairs? He doesn't look like someone who is easy to offend.

As for Wu Shiming...

After being scolded, he took the initiative to apologize and say nice things to me. I guess he doesn't have the courage to do that kind of thing. It's not a threat.

In other words, out of comprehensive considerations for his own betterment, Geng Daofu gave the ticket to Xu Cheng.

And why did Zhao Tian vote for Xu Cheng...

"Student Xu Cheng, although this is just a small position, I hope you can work seriously and responsibly."

"Don't worry, teacher. I promise to complete the work carefully."

"Hehe, thank you for the drink just now."

The drink just now?

Wu Shiming's ears twitched.

Zhao Tian gave a few more instructions about military training and then left.

After they closed the door again, Kong Runlong curiously asked Xu Cheng.

"Brother Xu ... Oh no, I have to call the dormitory head now. What's the matter with that drink that Teacher Zhao mentioned just now?"

"Nothing, I just ran into Mr. Zhao when I went upstairs, and I gave him my glass of lemonade."

That's right.

After Xu Cheng exchanged his mango sago for three glasses of lemonade, he paid extra for another glass for himself.

However, when he met Zhao Tian upstairs, he greeted him and handed his drink to Zhao Tian, so there were only three cups left.

“…”

Wu Shiming was listening carefully at the side, and then he realized that his cleverness just now might have caused Zhao Tian's disgust.

"Brother Xu, our dormitory will be counting on you from now on." Peng Hongfei said beside him.

"It's just a small matter. I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Really? Thank you, Brother Xu!" Kong Runlong grinned.

"But I'm going to make a rule. After the lights are turned off in our dormitory, no one should make any noise to disturb others' rest. Just go to sleep. Otherwise, don't blame me for not telling you in advance."

"Don't worry, Brother Xu."

"Listen to you, Old Xu."

Wu Shiming was the only one in the dormitory who was unhappy. He sat at the table and read "Walden" in silence.

"From now on, don't live the life you should live, live the life you want to live..."

A book that could calm one's mind now made him feel upset.

There was a phone call from home, and he ran to the corridor to answer it.

First, they asked him whether he had adapted to the life there. Wu Shiming gave a hasty answer in the local dialect of Shanghai. When his family asked him about his status as the dormitory head, Wu Shiming's face turned red. He said a few hurriedly and perfunctorily, and finally said that the signal was bad and hung up in a hurry.

He sat back at the table, listening to the people in the dormitory talking and laughing. He was so angry that his head hurt. He looked at the book without turning a page, thinking about all sorts of things.

Before I knew it, it was time to turn off the lights.

Feeling a little sleepy, Wu Shiming climbed onto the bed in a depressed mood.

Just as I put the book on my face, I heard Kong Runlong's voice.

"Well, someone turn off the lights."

Peng Hongfei half sat up and took a look.

"Lao Wu, go ahead. He's close."

Xu Cheng also spoke.

"Then I'll take care of you, Lao Wu."

"oh."

Wu Shiming had no choice but to agree, then climbed out of bed again and turned off the light.

When he climbed back onto the bed, his ankle was hit by the iron railing and he grimaced in pain.

He kicked the railing in anger and gritted his teeth in pain.
