Chapter 1695: Who Used My Water

~4 min read 783 words

Upon hearing these words, Auntie Wei's face was all smiles: "If your homeroom teacher likes to eat, invite him over to our home later to taste my cooking. If he enjoys it, he'll be willing to give you some convenience when you need it in the future."

Chuxue knew Auntie Wei spoke this way because she treated her like family, but she didn't want Auntie Wei to suffer the labor: "That won't do. Cooking is so tiring. You're already tired enough taking care of us four mother and children; how could I add more burden to you?"

"Just rest assured. I'll let my strength speak for itself. In the future, any matter will be settled with a single word; I guarantee the homeroom teacher won't make things difficult for me."

Auntie Wei felt a warmth in her heart: "Alright. Anyway, I don't understand anything else; my cooking skills are the only thing I can show off. If I can help you, what's there to fear about being a bit tired?"

So, people are reciprocal, and feelings are built through interaction.

While this side was harmonious and joyful, the dormitory over there was anything but peaceful.

The cause was that Bai Suya from the same dorm went to the water room to wash her hair, forgot to bring her Mao Jin, and returned to the dorm dripping with water.

After entering the dorm, Guo Ailing, who slept on the top bunk, asked, "Did you wash your hair with cold water?"

Bai Suya looked up and replied, "No, I brought a thermos over there; there was just enough for me to wash my hair."

As she spoke, she picked up her Mao Jin and began wiping her hair.

However, not long after, Jiang Wenxing walked in. She opened her cabinet, took out a can of malted milk powder, scooped two spoonfuls into her cup, and then walked over to where the thermos was kept.

She discovered the thermos was completely empty. She was already in a bad mood, and this set her off immediately: "Who used my water?"

Everyone in the dormitory turned to look at her.

Because it was the first day of registration, Guo Ailing and Qi Xiaoyu hadn't had time to buy a thermos yet; they planned to buy one on the weekend and just make do for a few days.

The water they brought back was poured from Zhang Yanyan's thermos, and the two of them even said that for these few days, the task of fetching water would be theirs, so Zhang Yanyan didn't need to worry about it at all.

It was considered payment for using her thermos to drink water.

They said this in front of everyone else in the dorm, and Zhang Yanyan's thermos was brought from home; it had a bamboo-woven shell, different from the others in the dorm.

Although Chuxue hadn't brought a thermos today either, she wasn't staying in the dorm.

Hao Jingchun didn't want to stir up trouble and pointed to her own thermos: "Mine is still full; it's impossible that I used yours."

Now only Bai Suya and Tang Xiaoxiao remained.

Tang Xiaoxiao had already had a disagreement with Jiang Wenxing before. She glared at Jiang Wenxing and said, "Don't look at me. I didn't pour water to drink in the dorm. The water in my enamel cup was poured from the dorm opposite; if you don't believe me, go ask Li Rongrong."

Now only Bai Suya was left in the dormitory.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she quickly put on a terrified expression: "I used the water from my own thermos; it has nothing to do with me."

Afraid the matter would escalate, Zhang Yanyan spoke up first in a carefree manner: "Jiang Wenxing, we are all in the same dorm; let's not be so particular. If you are in a hurry to use water, use the water from my thermos first."

However, instead of calming things down, her speaking up only made Jiang Wenxing even more furious: "Zhang Yanyan, stop pretending to be generous."

Hearing this, Zhang Yanyan also got angry: "I was being kind. Why do you bite whoever you meet? Fine, fine, I won't say another word. Do whatever you want."

Jiang Wenxing's face was full of anger. She picked up a thermos identical to hers that was leaning against the side and shook it: "Bai Suya, look closely; this is your thermos."

At this moment, Guo Ailing asked, "How do you know that is Bai Suya's thermos?"

Before Jiang Wenxing could speak, Bai Suya coughed lightly and said, "Our thermos shells are the same, and both are brand new; it is indeed possible we accidentally swapped them."
