"Ah? Did the water get in when we were cleaning just now?"
"Um……"
"Are there any shoes in the dormitory?"
"Yes..." Tang Xin nodded.
"Why don't you change it?"
"But class is about to start?"
"Well, I'll go. I told the teacher that I forgot to get my medicine, so I'll just go get it."
"Oh……"
After that, I stood up and walked out of the classroom. Just then, Teacher Zhou walked in with a textbook.
"Huh? Li... Li Xiaomeng, right? Class is about to start, why are you going out?" Teacher Zhou called me and asked curiously.
"Oh, I forgot to take my medicine this morning, so I went back to get it." I made up a lie.
"Oh, so, go back to the dormitory and get it. Don't be in a hurry, the floor is slippery, be careful not to fall." Teacher Zhou didn't doubt my words at all and let me out happily.
Although I felt that I had let down Teacher Zhou's trust in me, at least I didn't go back to the dormitory just to skip class. Thinking of this, I hurried back to the dormitory, searched the shoe cabinet for a pair of Tang Xin's running shoes, put them in a plastic bag, turned around, closed the door, and went downstairs.
But as soon as I walked out of the dormitory door, a tall figure stood in front of me, making me take a step back.
"Is it you?" Isn't this the athlete who came out of the toilet to smoke and led the way? Why did he suddenly arrive at the door of the girls' dormitory?
He was a little surprised to see me, and there was a hint of struggle in his eyes.
"Move aside." He didn't look like he was going to cause me any trouble, so I walked around him, opened my umbrella and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute! Li Xiaomeng!" He suddenly turned around and called me, "I was wrong before, can you do me a favor?"
"what?"

I worked overtime for 2 days on the weekend. I’m so happy!
Chapter 182 Heart Knot
He seemed a little shy and embarrassed. There was indeed a kind of contrast in cuteness when a muscular man behaved like this in front of you.
"If a stranger suddenly asked me for help, everyone would refuse." I took a step back and walked outside the eaves, the rain hitting the umbrella.
"Uh... that's true."
"Besides, I hold a grudge! You made me look bad and embarrassed in front of so many people last time. Do you think I can help you?" I found it a little funny. Although he looked like a sheep asking for help now, he was a complete gangster last time.
"I'm sorry!" He suddenly knelt down. "Please, I know I was wrong. But this time you have to help me, no, help Chen Lele. It's a very simple thing, it will be solved in a moment!"
The sudden kneeling startled me. Chen Lele? I've never heard of her. Who is she? It sounds like a girl's name. As expected, when I heard it was about a girl, I hesitated.
"Before asking others for help, don't you even tell me your name?" I curled my lips, my nosy nature coming back.
"Ah! My name is Yu Hong, and I'm from Class 7, Grade 3. I'm downstairs from your class." He stood up and touched the back of his head embarrassedly, looking a little shy.
"How do you know my name?"
Yu Hong looked at me strangely, "It's strange that no one in this school can call out your name."
My face turned red, and I realized I had asked too much, so I quickly changed the subject, "What is it?"
"Can you help me deliver this lunch box to the girls' dormitory, Room 526, on the fifth floor? Just give it to Chen Lele."
Only then did I notice that he was holding a white plastic bag in his right hand, which seemed to contain a box lunch.
"Ok?"
"The dormitory manager wouldn't let me in and wouldn't help me send my baby. But Chen Lele hasn't eaten for a day, and I'm worried that she'll be hungry." There was some sadness in Yu Hong's eyes, and he spoke very anxiously.
"Eh? Isn't it class time? Why is she still in the dormitory?" I was a little curious.
"This... is a long story. You'll know when you send it to him. Anyway, thank you very much." Yu Hong handed the lunch box to me without caring whether I agreed or not, and rushed back to the teaching building in the rain.
"Ah? Wait... this, okay." The combo was so fast that I didn't even have time to react. Looking at the lunch box in my hand, I shook my head helplessly. I had to help with this.
"Really, young people nowadays. They ask others for help, especially strangers, without even promising any benefits. Tang Xin is still waiting for me to change her shoes." I muttered to myself and walked up the stairs.
Arriving at dormitory 526, I knocked on the door a few times and called out, "Is Chen Lele there? I'm here to bring you something."
"Come in, the door is not locked." A slightly hoarse female voice came softly from inside.
I stepped back and was slightly surprised by the scene in front of me. I saw a long-haired girl wearing glasses, sitting in a wheelchair, holding a book and smiling at me.
"Hello~" I greeted her, walked in, and looked at the girl carefully.
She was pretty, with big eyes, a high nose and a small mouth. Except that she was a little thin, her hair was slightly yellowish, and she looked a little malnourished, she was perfect and had a great figure.
"Who are you?" There was some curiosity and some wariness in her eyes, and it seemed like she didn't know me.
"Oh, that's it. Yu Hong asked me to bring you some food." I took out the lunch box in my hand and put it on the table in front of her.
When she heard this, a flash of surprise flashed across her face, but it soon darkened again, revealing an expression of disgust: "Take it away, I don't want him to pity me."
“???” I was stunned. What’s going on? Big sister, you haven’t eaten for a whole day. Why are you being so stubborn with me?
Realizing her own gaffe, she softened her tone and said, "Sorry, I got a little excited. I don't want to eat it, so please throw it away for me."
Seeing her like this, I got a little angry: "She thought of many ways to get up here, and finally begged me to bring this up to you, but you don't want to eat it?"
"I can't eat." She shook her head. "Why does he care so much? People like me will just starve to death."
"Ah?" The person in front of him seemed to have a huge psychological trauma, and he had been denying himself since the beginning of the conversation.
Seeing her grabbing her arms with both hands, her nails digging into her flesh, I felt inexplicably distressed: "Why do you have to do this? You're the one who's starving. If you don't eat, you'll only end up making yourself angry."
Although I didn't know what happened, after hearing what I said, she suddenly burst into tears, leaving me at a loss. I searched for a long time before I saw some napkins on someone else's table.
Just as I reached out to take it, she shouted at me: "Don't take it from others, I have it myself."
As she spoke, she took out a roll of crumpled toilet paper from her pocket, tore off a small piece, and began to wipe her tears.
"Don't you have a good relationship with your roommates?" Seeing this scene, my heart tightened slightly. I had also suffered from school violence before, and the person in front of me might also be a victim. Out of sympathy, I couldn't help but ask.
“They think I’m dirty…”
"Ah?" I was confused. The person in front of me was clean and fair, what could that have to do with being dirty?
Seeing that I didn’t understand, she continued, “I’m the person who jumped off the building at the beginning of the year…”
"Ah..." I covered my mouth in fear, "It's you."
"Do you also think I deserve it?" She looked at me with amusement, "People like me who are not chaste should just die early, right?"
I shook my head repeatedly: "No, that's not the case."
"You are all the same, saying one thing and thinking another." She sneered, "Go to class. Skipping class is not a good thing. I don't need you to pity me."
"No. I don't think you're dirty. I just think it's not worth it. It's been so long. Why are you the one being punished? Why do you continue to punish yourself?"
"This is all my own fault."
"Let the past be the past." I somewhat understood why she refused to eat the food Yu Hong sent. "If you don't want to eat what Yu Hong sent, then don't eat it. I'll order takeout for you! We won't eat food from scumbags!"
"No, it's not him. My ex-boyfriend transferred to another school and went to college a long time ago. He didn't care about me when I was pregnant..." Chen Lele didn't know whether she was laughing or crying, she said with tears and a sneer.
"This idiot Yu Hong, what's so good about me? I'm just a dirty woman. I can't delay her."
I think I understood it. This is probably the story of a scumbag, a naive person and an honest man.
"I don't think you've lost the qualifications to pursue happiness." I continued to enlighten her, "The stupidest thing in the world is to punish yourself with other people's mistakes. Yu Hong can make such a big sacrifice out of love and continue to care about you. But you just give up on yourself here."
"I've put the lunch box here. It's up to you whether you want to eat it or not." I sighed and left the dormitory, looking back at the window. Sure enough, unlike ours, it was equipped with aluminum alloy anti-theft windows.

Weekend work~~
Chapter 183 Find a Way
When I returned to the dormitory, the physics class was already halfway through. I stood at the door and shouted "report", and Teacher Zhou didn't seem angry, but smiled and motioned me to come in.
After class, Tang Xin asked me worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so slow? Did you fall on the road?"
"Am I as weak as you think?" I rolled my eyes at her.
"Then there is none~"
"Is this pair of shoes okay?" I took out the pair of running shoes I found in the shoe cabinet from the plastic bag and showed them to Tang Xin.
Tang Xin nodded, "Any pair will do."
Tang Xin took off her shoes and pulled her socks off from her ankles, revealing her snow-white feet. Tang Xin's calves were very beautiful, without a single drop of fat, and her fair skin was flawless, smooth and delicate like a baby's.
Putting on new stockings, Tang Xin's fingers slipped out of the socks with a slight snapping sound. The boundary between the skin and the socks was slightly raised and clearly defined, which made me drool.
"What are you doing? You keep staring at my feet." Tang Xin stuffed one foot into her shoe and looked up at me.
It’s like when I was caught peeking at someone else’s test paper during an exam, and I quickly looked up and looked elsewhere: “No, I didn’t look at it.”
"Okay, okay, then I didn't watch it~"
Tang Xin lowered her head and continued to put on her shoes. My eyes kept drifting over there again. This was too white...
"And you said you didn't peek!" Tang Xin raised her head abruptly and caught him in the act again.
"Ah, this! How can peeking at someone who is reading be called peeping? This is called peeping!" Seeing that I couldn't deceive Tang Xin, I had to play it safe.
Tang Xin narrowed her eyes and put her mouth close to my ear: "I'll let you see enough when I get home."
"Bang~" a test paper hit her head lightly.
"Oh!" Tang Xin looked at me aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me?"
"I told you a long time ago, don't flirt around in school!" I pretended to be angry, put my hands on my hips and looked at her.
"Hehe~Okay! But Xiaomeng, you haven't told me what you are doing in the dormitory yet."
So I told Tang Xin in detail what happened in the dormitory.
"Did you really meet a senior schoolmate who jumped off a building?" Tang Xin seemed a little unconvinced.
