Chapter 74 Dormitory Conflict 2
The gift given by his uncle was opened by someone else before He Shu even knew what it was.
He walked to Deng Hongyuan's desk, picked it up and took a look. It was a tank model.
Thinking about how my cousin Guangxing fiddled with a tank model in his room yesterday, my uncle bought him one today.
"No way, third brother? Are you reluctant to part with it? I don't want it. Just borrow it for two days to play with it. Don't be so stingy."
Deng Hongyuan came over and put his arm on He Shu's shoulders.
"This was given to me by someone else. I didn't buy it myself. I can lend it to you to play with, but next time before you touch someone else's things, you'd better ask first."
It’s not that He Shu was reluctant to lend it to him, but the fact that Deng Hongyuan casually took apart his things made He Shu very disgusted.
"Isn't it just a model? Are you sure about that?"
Deng Hongyuan felt a little embarrassed when he heard He Shu say this. He took the tank model and stuffed it into He Shu's arms: "Here, here, here. I'll give it back to you."
Feng Haoxiang was watching from the side and wanted to speak , but He Shu had already put the model back on his desk and turned to leave.
Deng Hongyuan snorted coldly, took out a pair of dumbbells from the bedside, and started practicing while standing in the room.
Feng Haoxiang adjusted his glasses and felt the atmosphere in the dormitory was depressing.
When we first met, I thought we could get along as well as brothers.
But after a military training, everything seemed to have changed...
It was already 10 o'clock when I came back from the library, and the other three people in the dormitory were still awake.
Feng Haoxiang was studying, Li Mu was playing games, and Deng Hongyuan was on the balcony with his phone, sending voice messages to someone unknown.
He Shu took a shower, tidied his desk and bed, and closed his eyes to sleep.
He Shu woke up at five o'clock the next morning.
I got out of bed quietly, changed into sportswear, and went out for a run.
In the early morning on the university campus, He Shu was not the first one to get up, but those who got up so early were almost all doing morning exercises.
The school playground has a plastic track, which is much easier to run on than the dirt track in the military camp.
After running 3,000 meters, his condition was much better than when he first went to military training. It seemed that those days did indeed train him up a bit.
At least now I won’t see stars after running.
After running, he walked around the track and saw someone practicing Tai Chi over there. Although he didn't know who they were, He Shu still followed them and imitated them for a while.
Then I went back to the dormitory to wash up, eat breakfast and prepare for class.
But when they arrived at the dormitory, the bathroom was occupied by Li Mu. He Shu waited for 20 minutes but he didn't come out.
Deng Hongyuan was still urging him, and when Li Mu finished it was his turn. Seeing this, He Shu simply took his card and clothes and went to the big bathing pool to take a bath.
He Shu could also sense that Li Mu seemed to have some dissatisfaction with him from the very beginning, and because of the model issue, Deng Hongyuan was not as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning.
He Shu didn't care about these, but he was helpless as the same thing continued when he went to university.
He also wondered if it was his own problem as to why he always had trouble getting along with his roommates.
But he was unwilling to force himself to cater to others just to maintain the relationship...
The days that followed were uneventful. The only thing that made He Shu helpless was that Li Mu and his friends often smoked secretly in the dormitory. Even with the doors and windows of the balcony open, there was always a smell of smoke in the room.
When the dormitory was checked, their dormitory had already been warned.
The originally clean and tidy dormitory not only smelled of cigarette smoke, but also quickly became messy.
After living together for a long time, everyone's flaws gradually become apparent.
Li Mu has serious addictions to the Internet and smoking, and likes to buy a lot of useless things and put them everywhere.
He Shu really didn't know how he got into Huaqing University.
Deng Hongyuan likes sports. He joined the basketball club within a few days and is applying to join the school team.
But he never took a shower after exercise, and he never washed his vest, sweatpants, and socks in time, leaving them there, emitting a sour smell.
Especially sports shoes, Deng Hongyuan has a lot of basketball shoes. He likes to put the shoes under the cabinet or put them on the balcony to dry.
It's hard to imagine that he never brushes his shoes, he just hangs them to dry and wipes the outside...
Feng Haoxiang is okay, but he talks too much and tells a lot of jokes. But fortunately, Feng Haoxiang's hygiene is okay, at least he takes a shower every day...
The dormitory environment became worse and worse, and finally He Shu, who couldn't stand it anymore, had to clean it.
As time went by, all the cleaning was left to He Shu. If he didn't do it, no one else would do it.
No matter how black the floor is from being stepped on, no one would mop it, unless they knew there would be an inspection someday and then they would just clean up the surface.
He Shu's mysophobia was almost cured during military training.
But there is no other way. Given the conditions, who would be willing to live in a garbage dump?
Moreover, the dormitory regulations at Huaqing are very strict. Sometimes they will conduct dormitory inspections in the middle of the night. If any violation is found or the dormitory is too dirty or messy, credits will be deducted.
So He Shu had to clean the dormitory by himself. He wiped every corner and wall glass until they were shiny and bright. He even cleaned the bathroom.
But this would take up a lot of his time. The most important thing was that every time he finished cleaning up, Li Mu and Deng Hongyuan did not cherish the fruits of their labor.
Not only did they throw everything on the floor, they also made the toilet dirtier than before. He Shu sometimes suspected that they deliberately urinated outside because they knew he couldn't stand it...
So one day before turning off the lights in the dormitory, He Shu called the three of them to talk about this matter.
"The dormitory belongs to everyone. I can't be the only one cleaning it up. Either everyone should take turns, or everyone should be responsible for their own area."
He also knew that the other two looked down on him, so he spoke very directly.
Li Mu ignored He Shu and focused on playing his own game. He would occasionally curse his teammates, which seemed to be a veiled attack.
Deng Hongyuan smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to do it in the first place. We will be responsible for our own area in the future."
Feng Haoxiang was also embarrassed: "Brother Shu, I will do the sweeping and mopping from now on."
He Shu felt a little relieved when he saw that they all agreed.
He also wanted to have a good relationship with his roommate, after all, they would be together for such a long time.
As a result, from the second day after this incident, Deng Hongyuan let He Shu see what it means to be responsible for one's own area.
His unwashed underwear and socks were hung on the bed rail, and under the desk and chairs were all kinds of garbage.
This time it was not thrown under He Shu's bed, so He Shu's area was left open, but... this was in the same room.
How could there be no smell? The garbage they threw even attracted flies...
As for Li Mu, he didn't even flush the toilet after using it, and just said, "Use it if you want, if you don't like it, go to the public toilet outside. What's wrong with you? Do you think you are a rich young man?"
Seeing that He Shu looked unhappy, Feng Haoxiang hurried in to flush the toilet and took out a broom to sweep the floor.
He Shu controlled his urge to hit people, and from then on he seldom stayed in the dormitory for long. He let them do whatever they wanted, and he would go back home before the lights were turned off every day.
For self-study, I either study in the classroom or in the library. I leave as soon as I open my eyes in the morning, and I don’t even need to go to the dormitory to take a shower.
He knew that Deng Hongyuan and Li Mu did it on purpose. Even if they were sloppy before, they still knew how to save face. Now they were just trying to disgust him.
He Shu probably guessed that Deng Hongyuan was concerned about the model.
As for Li Mu, he seemed a little strange from the first day I met him. He didn't look like a college student at all, and I didn't see him looking down on anyone.
He Shu's schedule is very full. He studies for more than ten hours a day. He really has no energy and doesn't want to bother maintaining the so-called friendship.
In his opinion, some people are worth associating with, while others are not.
Isn't it
All day long, I waste my energy on such boring intrigues, or rather, it’s not even intrigues but just childish things.
It was such a boring thing that He Shu suddenly wanted to move out of the dormitory.
Because he felt that being would only distract him.
