Chapter 9 Fever
Looking at Jiang Shuyuan's departing back, Liu Mengmeng's heart was filled with gratitude.
She turned to look at Qi Zimo and couldn't help asking, "Zimo, do you know Jiang Shuyuan? She looks like she's very powerful."
Qi Zimo smiled softly and said, "Jiang Shuyuan is a student in Xuanzi Class 3. She has excellent grades and is an upright person. If it weren't for her just now, we would have been in big trouble."
Liu Mengmeng suddenly realized what was going on and said hurriedly, "So that's why. No wonder her words carry so much weight!"
Qi Zimo nodded, and they returned to the dormitory together.
On the other side, the boiler room.
Jiang Zhiyu and Xiao Wen queued here and waited for more than half an hour before they got a pitiful one and a half buckets of warm water.
Xiao Wen is usually a gentle person, but she couldn't help but complain when she saw this: "With just this little water, how can it be enough for four of us to take a bath?"
Jiang Zhiyu smiled slightly. She had already guessed the hard life of that era and had already prepared a plan to deal with it.
"Don't worry, I have a way." Jiang Zhiyu smiled mysteriously and took out a cloth bag from his sleeve.
"The mountain man has his own ingenious plan." Jiang Zhiyu took out a thick sponge from his cloth bag. There were many small stones adsorbed on the sponge. Jiang Zhiyu dipped the sponge into the hot water, then carefully filtered out the stones on the sponge and let the hot water flow out.
Xiao Wen looked at this scene in amazement and couldn't help asking: "Where did this sponge come from? How can it have such a magical effect?"
Jiang Zhiyu explained with a smile: "I learned this from an old artist. This sponge is called a 'water-absorbing sponge' and it has a very strong ability to absorb water. We can use it to save hot water so that everyone can take a bath."
After hearing this, Xiao Wen was overjoyed and couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that such a simple method could solve our problem."
Jiang Zhiyu smiled and said, "There are many ways to solve problems in this world, and they don't necessarily all rely on technology. Sometimes, some simple principles and creativity can solve big problems."
Xiao Wen nodded in agreement. She felt that Jiang Zhiyu was not only smart, but also very wise.
In this era, they need to face not only the hardships of life, but also various unknown challenges. With people like Jiang Zhiyu around, she feels full of confidence and hope.
Jiang Zhiyu comforted and encouraged everyone, and asked Liu Mengmeng what her dormitory manager's surname was. After learning that her surname was Li, he expressed confidence that he would be able to handle the matter.
"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Jiang Zhiyu comforted Liu Mengmeng. She always gives people a sense of security.
"But why did the dormitory manager treat us like this? We didn't do anything wrong." Qi Zimo felt very aggrieved. She just wanted to have a good sleep.
"Maybe it's because she is not familiar with us yet. It will be fine after a while." Jiang Zhiyu tried to comfort Liu Mengmeng. She knew that this feeling was not good, but she believed that the problem could be solved.
Xiao Wen was also comforting Liu Mengmeng. She felt that there was no need to care too much about these little things. After all, there were still many wonderful things waiting for them to discover in the life of the Imperial College.
"Don't take it too seriously. Let's face this problem together." Xiao Wen patted Liu Mengmeng's shoulder gently. She knew that words of comfort were important at this time.
After hearing what they said, Liu Mengmeng felt a little better.
She knew that she was not fighting alone. With Jiang Zhiyu, Xiao Wen, Qi Zimo and other good sisters around her, she felt very warm in her heart.
The next day, Jiang Zhiyu got up early. She wanted to talk to dormitory manager Li to see if the problem could be solved.
She knew that this was not a difficult matter and that it could be resolved peacefully as long as both sides could take a step back.
Jiang Zhiyu walked to the dormitory manager's room and saw dormitory manager Li making the beds.
She smiled and greeted: "Aunt Li, good morning."
Dormitory Manager Li raised his eyelids slightly and saw that Jiang Zhiyu was a female disciple from Class Huang. Recalling the incident of snatching the quilt last night, he suddenly became unhappy and ignored her.
"Dormitory Manager Li, I want to talk to you about our dormitory." Jiang Zhiyu didn't care and stated his purpose straight away.
Dormitory Manager Li stopped what he was doing and glared at Jiang Zhiyu: "What other problems could there be in your dormitory?"
"It's not a big problem, but I think you misunderstood us." Jiang Zhiyu explained patiently, "We didn't mean to grab the quilt, it was just very cold last night and Zimo forgot to bring the quilt."
Dormitory Manager Li snorted coldly, obviously still upset about what happened last night: "You little girls don't know how to cherish supplies, you only know how to seek convenience."
Jiang Zhiyu knew that Dormitory Manager Li had misunderstood them, but she was not angry. Instead, she explained patiently, "Aunt Li, it's not that we don't know how to cherish our supplies. It was really too cold last night, and my friend forgot to bring a quilt, so we wanted to come here to buy a quilt. Also, we didn't expect to disturb you. We will definitely pay attention in the future."
Dormitory Manager Li looked at Jiang Zhiyu's sincere eyes and felt a little shaken, but she was still a little angry: "You little girls only know how to say nice things. When you really encounter problems, you won't think like this."
Jiang Zhiyu knew that Dormitory Manager Li was still a little skeptical, so she decided to prove her sincerity with practical actions: "Aunt Li, we are willing to take responsibility for what happened last night. You can punish us as long as you can forgive us."
Dormitory Manager Li looked at Jiang Zhiyu's determined eyes and felt a little touched. She knew that Jiang Zhiyu and the others were indeed innocent, and she also understood that they did this so that they and their classmates could have a better rest. But she was still a little angry and felt that they should have communicated with her in advance.
"Okay, since you are so sincere, I will forgive you this time. However, you must communicate with me in advance in the future and can't make decisions on your own." Dormitory Manager Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and his tone became gentler.
Jiang Zhiyu nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Li, we will definitely remember it."
Although he was covered with a quilt, Qi Zimo still caught a cold last night and fell into a coma early in the morning.
After returning from Dormitory Manager Li, Jiang Zhiyu touched Qi Zimo's forehead, which was terribly hot.
This is, a fever!
Jiang Zhiyu was extremely anxious and decided to go to the pharmacy in the Imperial College to buy the necessary herbs and medicines, hoping to cure Qi Zimo's condition as soon as possible.
Jiang Zhiyu hurried to the pharmacy and picked out some common herbs and medicines for treating colds. She was always worried about Qi Zimo, so she immediately prepared to rush back to the dormitory after buying the medicine.
However, halfway through, she unexpectedly ran into Zhang Xinyue, who had fought with Liu Mengmeng for the quilt last night.
"Jiang Zhiyu, Senior Sister Shuyuan is also sick. Give me the medicine quickly! Otherwise, you will be in trouble!" Zhang Xinyue glared at Jiang Zhiyu, raised her fist, her tone full of threats.
