Unfamiliar surroundings

I believe in him.

01.

It has been more than a month since school started.

The whole house was filled with a titillating aroma, so thick that it was suffocating.

Three seconds later, Ji Kieran's scream rang out: "Ah! My perfume! This is the Silver Rain that I asked someone to bring from Hong Kong, and it was only unpacked the day before yesterday."

"Sorry ......" I stood aside awkwardly and made a pitiful face.

"Do you pour water without eyes?" Ji Kieran shivered with anger, and after a pause and sneered, "Hungry ghost cast Oh, eat a noodle so monkey ......"

Your whole family is a hungry ghost reincarnation! I cursed in my heart, but the mouth but cheap smile, "I will pay for it."

In the principle of building a harmonious dormitory, entering the university for a week, I try to make myself into this strange environment, unite housemates, and help others. I don't know if I dug her family's ancestral grave or killed her parents in my last life. The first time I saw this person, I couldn't help but think, "This woman can only be seen from afar, but not profane," but I didn't think I'd hit the gun at this point.

"You can afford to pay, can you afford to pay? Not to mention that this perfume is equivalent to your monthly living expenses, is rich you can not buy it, okay? I specially asked someone to bring it to me, ordinary cosmetics stores simply do not have, you can afford to pay you?" Ji Kieran did not relent, her fingers waved in front of me, poking me straight in the face, "Can you afford to pay you!"

I pushed her hand away and tried to suppress my impulse to go out.

"Hey, is it just a bottle of perfume?" Zhou Zhou, who was lying in bed playing with his phone, couldn't stand it and sat up. Finally, someone saw the injustice and helped, I secretly cast a grateful look at Zhou Zhou. I remember the first day I reported to the school, when I entered the dormitory, in addition to me three other people have arrived, excluding Lin Chaoyang who is catching up on sleep, and I showed goodwill only Zhou Zhou is making up the bed, she saw me come in and introduced herself and helped me move things, while Ji Ke Ran but threw things on my bed, himself hiding in the balcony phone, vaguely heard at the time she was showing off her new bag.

"Anyway, you are so rich, every day are new clothes and new bags, not often have friends to run to foreign countries to Hong Kong and Macao? Let them bring it to you next time! What is there to be angry about, this is nothing for you, is not it? Talking Xia Xin has apologized what else do you want?"

Sister, you're not helping me, you're adding fuel to the fire. I reached out my hand in the dark and pulled Zhou Zhou, but she gently patted me, indicating that there was no hurry.

The dormitory was quiet for a full minute. The air at the moment is not like perfume, more like smoke.

"Then let's get the counselor to comment on it." The company's main goal is to provide a solution to the problem of the problem. As she threw the door open, she muttered, "Mind your own business."

"She thinks the counselor is her mother." Zhou Zhou got up and helped me clean up the shards of glass on the table and the floor.

"Bitch." I whispered.

"What?" Zhou Zhou suspected he had heard wrong, "Ji Kieran is quite a firestarter."

I laughed and didn't explain, I certainly wasn't scolding Ji Kieran, she was certainly detestable, but nowhere near enough to be that person. My mind pictured Ji Ke Ran going to the counselor Zhang Shishi: she went to her in a fury, and she would have sent her back with a pale face when she heard my name, just like our encounter on the first day of school.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought, I meant to say, Zhang Shishi is a bitch.

Zhou Zhou heard the sound and turned around and gave me a blank look: "What's so funny, bring the trash can."

The next evening after class, Zhou Zhou disappeared for half an hour. When she came back, she threw a beautiful silver box to me: "Take it and return it to Ji Kieran."

"What's this? What's it for?"

I was not the only one who asked this, when I put the box on Ji Kieran's desk, she also asked it.

"A perfume to pay you back, Silver Rain."

She unwrapped the package, looked at the same bottle as before, took it out again and tried it on her hand, sniffed it like a dog at the end, but still with doubt: "It's not fake, right? There are so many counterfeit products in the market now. Where did this come from?"

I was about to answer but I heard Zhou Zhou's voice: "Anyway, it's not brought back from Hong Kong, whether it's genuine or not, you'll know when you go to the counter."

I don't know why, every time Ji Kieran in the face of Zhou Zhou always seems to be at the bottom of the barrel, she put the perfume into a donkey bag, not at all suitable for her age, and then stepped on the small high heels out of the door, and went out with a "bang" and hit the door.

"Zhou Zhou, really thank you, the money I wait to get living expenses and then return you."

She smiled at me: "That's not true."

"Huh?"

"Fool you, look at your silly face, no need to give me money, I don't need money for that thing anyway, I took it from someone else."

She seemed to be in a good mood, with playful eyebrows and a tone of voice that she had never seen before, and it wasn't until a long, long time later that she told me, "Actually, I'm thankful that you broke Ji Kieran's perfume, otherwise I can't think of any other reason that would have allowed me to see him one more time."

I didn't know about the past that was buried in her heart like ashes at this time, but I thought she was happy to have thwarted Ji Kieran, and I didn't know how to thank her for helping me, so I had to speak cheaply: "Zhou Zhou, you did me a big favor, and to show my love and gratitude to you, the grandfather will treat you to a restaurant."

"Go, eat Sichuan cuisine to go."

The evening sun in the sky is as gorgeous as a burning fire, Zhou Zhou wearing sportswear that can not see the brand with big steps in front, looking from afar some like running toward the flames, there is a kind of death-like loneliness.

"Zhou Zhou."

I don't know why I suddenly opened my voice to shout at her, she looked back at me, and the expression on her face was nearly blank. I said you wait for me and ran forward to hold her hand.

She did not break away from me, gently holding my hand, her voice was small, with a hint of sadness.

"No one has held my hand for a long time."

I was going to tease her about how she was suddenly literary, but when I looked up to see the expression on her face I couldn't say anything. Usually, she is always like Superman when I need her most, but at this time, she is more like a rag doll that has been dumped in the sewer and needs me to reach out and pull her out of the mud and sludge.

I think God is fair, I met a roommate like Ji Kieran who is so hairy and destined to become a rival, but also met a friend like Zhou Zhou who can make friends.

I quietly clasped her cold hand.
