—"It's eleven o'clock, the teaching building is about to be locked! Go back to bed quickly! Classmate! "
Suddenly, the night patrol teacher's voice sounded at the classroom door.
Yu Ning was startled and reflexively hid the homework book behind him.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" The night patrol teacher urged him when he saw that he hadn't cleaned up the desk.
The homework book in his hand seemed to be hot, and at that moment, Yu Ning's mind was in a mess.
He almost instinctively opened the clip of Ji Mingxia's exercise book, quickly pulled out the page of the plan, and stuffed it into his own exercise book.
At the urging of the night patrol teacher, Yu Ning stuffed the plan book back into Ji Mingxia's drawer, then picked up his exercise book with the page of the love plan book and slowly walked out of the classroom.
It was raining heavily all the way, and Yu Ning held the exercise book tightly in his arms. Only after he entered the dormitory did he stuff the exercise book that was not wet into the most inconspicuous corner of the bookshelf.
In the boys' dormitory, everyone was busy with their own things.
No one cares whether Yu Ning returns or not.
This kind of indifference rarely makes Yu Ning feel at ease.
After hiding the homework book, Yu Ning walked towards the bathroom with wet hair.
When passing by Ji Mingxia's bed, Yu Ning glanced at her with the corner of his eye.
Ji Mingxia is not in bed.
The restroom was connected to the bathroom and was also empty.
Ji Mingxia is not in the dormitory and no one knows where he went.
Yu Ning lowered his head and prepared to turn on the water to take a bath as usual.
The dormitory facilities in the county high school are still relatively old, especially for boys, who live in the most dilapidated dormitory building in the school.
There are six people living in each dormitory. Although there are independent toilets and bathrooms, the shower equipment in the bathroom is solar-powered and left over from more than a decade ago.
Go back to the dormitory earlier at night and take a shower with free hot water.
If you are not careful and arrive a little late, all you will have is cold water.
If you want to continue using hot water, you must use your campus card to purchase it.
Funan County is an ordinary county with a low per capita consumption level. High school students have limited pocket money, let alone an orphan like Yu Ning.
He was able to go to high school entirely because of his top grades in the school. The school waived his tuition, food fees and other expenses. Although he received a bonus of several hundred yuan each semester, he used it all to buy study tools.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who was strapped for cash.
If you come back late and can't bear to spend money, there is another way. That is to go to the first floor, outside the dormitory manager's room, and borrow the dormitory manager's electric heating rod to boil water.
The dormitory managers of the boys' dormitory are a middle-aged couple who have been working in the school for decades and are very kind and friendly to the students in daily life.
Unfortunately, Yu Ning was not among them, so he never went down.
At this moment, Yu Ning suddenly heard Chen Zhen shouting, "Mingxia, how do you solve the big problem the teacher taught this afternoon? Do you still remember it? I don't remember the formula at all."
The one who answered him was Zhao Zhuoyue's voice: "Mingxia is not here. She went downstairs to boil water."
"Boil hot water?" Chen Zhen asked curiously, "Didn't he take a bath? I took a bath later than him and I also had hot water."
"It seems like he is planning to burn some for backup? I don't know, haven't we all washed it?" Zhao Zhuoyue muttered.
Zhao Zhuoyue's voice was not loud, but because his bed was close to the inside, Yu Ning, who was in the bathroom, could hear it clearly.
But he was not affected by what Zhao Zhuoyue and Chen Zhen said, and continued to do his own things in an orderly manner.
In the whole dormitory, he was the only one who didn't take a shower.
But would Ji Mingxia go downstairs to boil water for him
Just the thought of it made Yu Ning laugh out loud.
It's just a weird love plan.
If he drew a heart between his name and Ji Mingxia's name and wrote the word "love" on it, would he believe that Ji Mingxia had no intention of framing him and even intended to help him
Impossible.
He has been ridiculed so many times since he was a child that he doesn't trust others so easily.
He would continue to take cold showers and not give anyone the chance to tease him!
…
A minute later, Ji Mingxia, who was boiling water on the first floor, was almost startled when he saw Yu Ning suddenly appear beside him.
Ji Mingxia came down ten minutes ago.
The water-boiling tool provided by the dormitory manager is an ordinary electric heating rod, which is inserted into the bucket to boil water through heat conduction.
When Ji Mingxia was in the third year of junior high school, both his parents died in a car accident, leaving Ji Mingxia and his grandmother in the countryside to depend on each other.
Although there are only one old and one young in the family, fortunately, his parents left behind a generous inheritance, which is enough for Ji Mingxia to live a worry-free life for most of his life.
His pocket money is not as much as that of the rich, but it is very sufficient for daily expenses.
The school's hot water fee is not expensive, and this electric heating rod is slow to heat, which is not only a waste of time, but also unsafe. In his own world, Ji Mingxia always swiped a card to take a shower and never used this thing.
Therefore, this hot water was naturally not boiled for his own use.
Just now, in order to help Yu Ning expel the ghost, he pretended to enter the classroom to get his homework book. Although he successfully drove the ghost away, he himself fell down.
On the way home, he endured the burning abrasions on his body while trying hard to correct his roommates' strange ideas. It was impossible for him to suggest sharing an umbrella with Yu Ning to go home together.
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. When the fifth person in the dormitory took a shower, only warm water was left. When Yu Ning came back, there would definitely be no hot water.
Yu Ning's cold and fever were no big deal, but he failed to get into university and met Pei Yuan. One careless move changed the trajectory of his life, and even the trajectory of the entire book. As for Ji Mingxia, the rookie supporting character, that was really doomed.
In order to save his own life and at the same time to make up for the guilt of snatching Yu Ning's umbrella, Ji Mingxia found an opportunity and went downstairs alone to boil water.
I originally planned to wait for Yu Ning to come back and find an opportunity to give this bucket of hot water to Yu Ning.
Unexpectedly, the electric heating rod was harder to operate than expected. Ji Mingxia fiddled with it for a long time, and finally succeeded with the guidance of the dormitory manager.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief and the water was halfway through boiling, but when he looked up, he saw Yu Ning standing beside him, looking at him quietly.
It was raining heavily outside, and the corridor on the first floor was particularly ventilated. The cold wind in the middle of summer made it feel like autumn or winter.
Yu Ning stood there quietly, the lights from the corridor reflected on his face, casting a sharp shadow. His pupils, one black and one white, matched his exquisite features. In such a late night, he looked like a beautiful ghost walking out of the rain, making it difficult to ignore him.
Ji Mingxia had not yet adapted to Yu Ning's appearance. Besides, he felt guilty at the moment and did not dare to look Yu Ning in the eye.
So, Ji Mingxia curled the corner of his mouth at Yu Ning, gave a dry laugh, quickly looked away, and pretended to be waiting for the water to boil seriously.
After a moment, Ji Mingxia felt that it was about time and slowly shifted his gaze back.
But when he looked up, he found that Yu Ning was still standing there, maintaining the same posture as before, staring at him quietly.
Ji Mingxia wasn't feeling well.
This is the gaze from the protagonist.
How could he, a rookie supporting actor, handle it
