Chapter 358: Strange Incidents on Campus
"Master, hurry up and get up, the sun is shining on your butt..."
Kong Runlong's noisy cell phone alarm sounded in the dormitory.
It was almost dawn, and the faint morning light seeped through the windows, leaving a thin layer of golden light on the dormitory floor.
Kong Runlong was awakened by the alarm clock. He quickly got out of bed and turned off the alarm on his cell phone.
Almost at the same time, Xu Cheng and Peng Hongfei sat up yawning. As for Wu Shiming, he frowned, pulled the quilt closer to himself twice, turned over and continued to sleep.
"Brother Wu, Brother Wu, wake up quickly. We still have to fold the quilt. It will be too late for you to sleep any longer." Kong Runlong, who had just washed up, stood under Wu Shiming's bed and reminded him in a soft voice.
Only then did Wu Shiming sit up with drooping eyelids and hummed a few times in annoyance.
He rubbed his eyes and saw that Xu Cheng and Peng Hongfei were already tidying up their quilts on the bed.
He always had a strong sense of self-esteem, so he quickly put on his clothes, knelt on the bed in an orderly manner, and folded the tofu blocks.
Among the four people, Xu Cheng was the first one to fold the quilt.
After all, he has many years of life experience ahead of his three roommates, so he is naturally better at craftsmanship.
After folding the quilt into a rough square shape, Xu Cheng took a small comb and began to modify the edges and corners of the quilt to make it look more like a piece of tofu.
"Oh my god, this is a great trick, dormitory leader." Peng Hongfei exclaimed.
He thought about it and realized that he had never bought a comb, so he took out a set of drawing triangles and started to draw on the quilt.
Wu Shiming quietly took out his student card, and Kong Runlong also used his ID card.
The four of them finished folding the paper in turn, but Kong Runlong, who got up the earliest, took the longest time to fold it, and it looked a little messy after he finished.
"Lao Kong, are these tofu cubes? These are tofu dregs." Wu Shiming couldn't help but laugh at him.
Kong Runlong scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I'm not as smart as you guys. I can't learn it in one go. I'm clumsy... hehe."
"Lao Kong, the way you folded it is not good. Come on, fold it again quickly and I will teach you." Peng Hongfei said very righteously.
Xu Cheng also said, "It's okay, Lao Kong, just fold it again and I'll help you with it."
“But, but…”
Kong Runlong glanced at the time, "It's already late, is it too late for you to go early?"
He was afraid that he would cause them to be late because of his own affairs.
Xu Cheng patted his arm indifferently.
"It's okay, there's still time."
Peng Hongfei also spoke.
"Okay, stop wasting time, Old Kong."
However, Wu Shiming seemed out of place at this time.
His eyes rolled, "Well, I can't help you here anyway, you guys just fold it first. Yesterday a senior asked me to have breakfast with her this morning."
Of course, the senior sister does not exist.
He calculated very clearly that Kong Runlong was clumsy, and if he helped him fold the quilt, he might even be late because of this.
What if I get criticized by the instructor for this?
He looked in the mirror, adjusted the hair on his head, and left the dormitory alone.
On the other side, Kong Runlong quickly folded his quilt with the help of Xu Cheng and Peng Hongfei.
The two of them used a comb and a ruler to measure the quilt back and forth, helping him to shape it into a perfect piece of tofu.
Kong Runlong looked at the two of them with gratitude.
"Thank you, dormitory leader, Brother Peng."
"It's just a small matter."
Xu Cheng waved his hand.
I went to the table to pick up my phone, and then looked at the tofu blocks I had folded on the bed, and I felt a sense of accomplishment.
Suddenly I wanted to take a picture and share it with others.
This can be considered a bad habit left over from the era of smartphones.
But it would be nice to show it to Lin Wanzhou.
If she was interested, he could even find a bed with her and teach her...
Xu Cheng raised his mobile phone and took a photo of the quilt on the bed.
The remaining two people in the dormitory looked in his direction at the same time.
"Dorm leader, are you taking pictures of your abdominal muscles?" Kong Runlong asked curiously.
He had seen Xu Cheng's abdominal muscles and was very envious of them.
If I could own these six solid pieces, I would definitely hold up my camera and take pictures of them proudly every day.
And by then, I think Tian Xiaoyu would be willing to take the initiative to talk to me...
On the other side, Xu Cheng just smiled and shook his head.
"No, no, I just took a photo as it was a great relief to fold the quilt like this. It will be a souvenir for myself."
“Ahhh.”
Only then did Kong Runlong realize that he had misunderstood.
Peng Hongfei heard this and said excitedly, "Head of the dormitory, please take a picture for me too. I want to keep a souvenir. This is the first time I have folded tofu cubes in my life."
"OK."
Xu Cheng agreed readily.
He took a picture of Peng Hongfei sitting on the bed with a tofu-block quilt beside him. He was grinning and making a scissors hand shape with his hands.
Kong Runlong also wanted to take a photo, but was too embarrassed to bring it up.
However, under Peng Hongfei's instigation, Kong Runlong reluctantly let Xu Cheng help take a photo.
But he looks shy in the photo, and is nowhere near as generous as Peng Hongfei.
What’s even weirder is that, contrary to his chubby appearance, Kong Runlong’s face has a shy look like a girl.
It was getting late, so the three of them didn't have breakfast and went straight to the playground.
Kong Runlong felt extremely guilty about this, so Peng Hongfei patted him on the back and said, "Brother, don't say such things."
The team on the playground hasn't been lined up yet.
Xu Cheng saw Lin Wanzhou wearing camouflage military training uniform from a distance.
She and Deng Zhi stood in the corner, holding a plastic bag with a few buns in their little hands, and eating them in small bites like squirrels holding chestnuts.
He approached her unconsciously and took one out of the bag when the girl wasn't paying attention.
The buns are round, hot, and soft when kneaded. Before you put them in your mouth, you can smell their own fragrance. When you take a bite, you can taste the milky aroma between your lips and teeth.
“Custard buns… ahhh… delicious…”
Lin Wanzhou turned around nervously and saw that the person who snatched the buns was Xu Cheng. The anger on his face subsided a little.
"Why, you didn't eat?"
"I was delayed in making the quilt this morning and didn't have time to buy it."
"I spent quite a while folding it, too. I didn't have time to eat it in the cafeteria, so I brought it here. Here, I'll give you another one."
The girl's pale little hand took out another bun from the plastic bag and handed it to Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng did not take it and looked at her hesitantly.
"Give me another one, will you be able to eat enough?"
Lin Wanzhou stuffed the bun directly into the boy's mouth, blocking it tightly.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let's finish eating and gather together."
As Hou Ruiquan appeared on the playground, the team of Economics and Management Class 2 quickly gathered together.
Hou Ruiquan first glanced at the crowd, then saw a gap and frowned.
"Why is there one person missing?"
No one spoke, so Hou Ruiquan took out the roll call book and started calling the roll.
"Li Keyi, Zhou Runfang... Tian Xiaoyu, Liao Dan..."
"Liao Dan?"
The orderly registration just now stopped abruptly, and it was clear at a glance who held the vacant seat.
Hou Ruiquan was silent for a few seconds and coughed twice.
"Stand at military posture."
The troops dispersed and stood in military posture.
"Damn it, why doesn't the Hou guy say anything when Liao Dan is not here?" Peng Hongfei was not standing in the correct military posture and was muttering to himself.
"That's right, that's right." Wu Shiming followed up with anger on his face, "Isn't this just partiality?!"
"I've long felt that there's something fishy going on between these two people."
"Adultery, there is definitely adultery..."
The two funny guys were whispering bad things about Liao Dan and Hou Ruiquan. Everyone stood there for about an hour before Liao Dan finally arrived.
"Report."
Hou Ruiquan glanced at her and his tone became noticeably gentler.
"Why are you so late?"
Liao Dan lowered his head, looking aggrieved.
"Instructor, I feel a little unwell today."
"uncomfortable?"
Hou Ruiquan raised his voice a little, "Can you still insist on training if you are not feeling well? If not, don't force yourself to do it, just rest on the side."
Naturally, the students in Business and Management Class 2 heard everything that the two of them said.
“Oh my god!”
"Why?"
The students who had been quiet just a moment ago now had opinions and were making a lot of noise.
Hou Ruiquan's face turned stern again, "What are you all arguing about!"
He also realized that he had acted too ostentatiously this time. In order to calm the anger and wait for the class discipline to be restored a little, he lowered his head to look at his watch.
"Okay, well... let's disband and take a break."
Sure enough, as everyone dispersed, the voices of dissatisfaction became much quieter.
However, Hou Ruiquan still noticed some strange looks being directed at him.
He felt really uncomfortable being stared at, so he called out Liu Yuwen, who usually liked to show off in front of him, and asked him to accompany him to check the dormitories and see how the quilts were folded.
When Wu Shiming saw Liu Yuwen perform again, he suddenly felt very unbalanced.
"This Hou Ruiquan is really stupid. Why did he choose such a person to be our instructor?"
He cursed Hou Ruiquan with resentment, and Peng Hongfei also joined in.
After resting for a long time, Hou Ruiquan brought Liu Yuwen back, but he looked very unhappy.
"From Dormitory 405, come out!"
Except for Xu Cheng, the others who were called out were playing the grass-grass-grass-grass-grabbing game, completely unaware that they were in great danger.
"Old Wu, your grass is a little thin and soft, not as strong as mine." Peng Hongfei pulled Wu Shiming's grass and said with some pride.
Seeing no movement, Hou Ruiquan's tone became even more serious.
"Wu Shiming, Peng Hongfei, Xu Cheng, Kong Runlong, step out!"
This time they heard their names clearly, and the three of them hurriedly got up from the ground and stood out with Xu Cheng, who looked confused.
Lin Wanzhou was also looking at Hou Ruiquan nervously.
"Do you know why I called you out?" Hou Ruiquan asked the four people in dormitory .
The three people in the dormitory were all silent, only Xu Cheng looked firmly into Hou Ruiquan's eyes and answered loudly.
"Report to the instructor, I don't know."
"Okay, then I'll let you know. Didn't I say yesterday that you have to fold the quilt according to my standards from now on?"
The others remained silent, only Xu Cheng continued to answer.
"yes."
"Then did you follow my standards? Why did you fold the quilt like that?!"
The four of us looked at each other.
Everyone is a little confused.
Could it be that the quilt that I had folded with so much effort could not meet Hou Ruiquan's standards?
How do others stack it?
Could it be that he was sleeping with tofu covering his body?
"Instructor, we have folded it according to your standards." Xu Cheng still answered calmly at this time, "May I ask who in the dormitory folded it poorly?"
"What do you mean someone folded it badly? Is there anyone in your dormitory who folded it well? Take it out and compare it with students in other dormitories to see what you folded!"
Xu Cheng frowned.
"Instructor, we are absolutely tidy. Did you go to the wrong dormitory?"
"I went to the wrong dormitory. Did Liu Yuwen also go to the wrong dormitory? Liu Yuwen, do you think this is their dormitory?"
Hou Ruiquan asked Liu Yuwen, and Liu Yuwen nodded vigorously and pointed at the four people.
"Yes, it's Dormitory 405. It's them. We're definitely in the right place."
Peng Hongfei became a little anxious and showed his fist.
"Liu Yuwen, stop talking nonsense. Are you framing our dormitory?"
Liu Yuwen took a few steps back fearfully and murmured in dissatisfaction.
"Humph, slander."
"Peng Hongfei, do you have any discipline?"
Hou Ruiquan yelled at Peng Hongfei, and Peng Hongfei glared at him fiercely, making Hou Ruiquan feel a little weak for a moment.
"You're not convinced, right? Fine, then I 'll take you to the dormitory and take a look for yourself. I'll see what else you have to say then."
"Just admit it." Peng Hongfei said. He didn't believe that a quilt like his couldn't pass the test.
"That's right." Kong Runlong also nodded, and even he was a little angry at this moment.
The only ones who remained silent were Xu Cheng and Wu Shiming. Xu Cheng was analyzing the situation quickly, while Wu Shiming was already pretending to be dead, thinking about how to get himself out of this matter.
Hou Ruiquan asked the Economics and Management Class 2 to stand in military posture again, and then led several people from Dormitory 405 and Liu Yuwen to their dormitory building in a mighty manner.
Lin Wanzhou looked at Xu Cheng nervously, and then his eyes moved to Liao Dan's face, where he saw a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.
Thinking of something, the girl's narrow eyes slowly narrowed, and there was a faint glimmer of frost.
On the other side, everyone in 405 who followed Hou Ruiquan back to the dormitory opened the door, saw the quilt on the bed, and their minds went blank.
Unlike the neatly laid out quilts when they left in the morning, the quilts on their beds were almost unfolded and were in a completely messy mess, as if they had rolled around many times.
"Is this my dormitory?" Peng Hongfei rubbed his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
Hou Ruiquan sneered.
"Look carefully, isn't it your dormitory? Was what I just said wrong?"
"How is that possible!"
"It was definitely not like this when I left in the morning."
The mouths of the three people in the dormitory are so big that a fist can fit in them.
Only Xu Cheng was rubbing his aching head.
He just wanted to go to college quietly.
Why are there still people forcing him to pick up his childhood hobby of reasoning and become a detective?
