"Classes start tomorrow. Let's go pick up our express deliveries today. They've been here for a few days," Shen Yan said, checking her phone and asking.
"Sure!" Upon hearing this, Song Daiyao became very excited, possibly because the snack rack had arrived.
"Let's go."
The agreement was easily made, but upon arriving, before they had even finished picking everything up, the group started to feel overwhelmed.
Just the bed curtains for the upper bunks alone were enough to keep the few of them busy for a long time.
It was truly hard to describe... ༼༎ຶ෴༎ຶ༽
In the end, they had no choice but to shamelessly resort to their old tactic, pushing the small cart all the way back.
After returning the small cart, the four of them were completely exhausted, with a pile of parcels still unpacked.
They simply had no strength left.
"Which one is the snack rack? I'm unpacking that first." After recovering their breath from the strenuous effort, Song Daiyao was most interested in this item.
Qiu Xi pointed to a parcel nearby, her voice weak, "There, this one."
Using both hands, Song Daiyao dragged the large box over and began the task.
Shortly after everything was unpacked, Song Daiyao stared at the instruction manual, her head spinning, "I can't do this, it needs to be assembled."
"I knew we should have bought a simpler one..."
"..."
Three pairs of eyes immediately swept over her, their gazes clearly conveying a message: "You weren't like this before."
(uДu〃)
Song Daiyao immediately lowered her head in defeat, "Alright, alright, I'm just a noob..."
But with feigned reluctance, she said, "Hurry up and help me!"
Finally, after much effort, they managed to assemble the item.
Seeing the snack rack standing upright, Song Daiyao was overjoyed, urging everyone to quickly put the items on it, calling it their 'granary' in a grand manner.
After finishing, Qiu Xi and the others decided to go all out, tackling the tables, chairs, and various decorations. With a flurry of activity, they finally hung the bed curtains.
"Phew, finally done!"
"It looks pretty good. One more look, and I'm still very satisfied!"
"We've spent almost the whole day, but it wasn't wasted effort after all."
"Yeah, I didn't expect us to be so creative."
...
After finishing, the four of them paced around the dormitory, their words filled with self-praise.
However, the dormitory had indeed transformed after the decoration and renovation.
Wallpaper of the same color scheme was applied to all the walls, covering everything except the floor and ceiling; even the main door wasn't spared.
During the decoration, they noticed the plain white ceiling and made a small artistic touch in the center.
The tables and chairs were simple and elegant. Although the four bed curtains were similar, their styles varied greatly, especially their desk setups.
Besides the interior, the balcony and the dormitory itself were tidied up a bit, and doorplates were hung at each entrance.
This extensive tidying instantly gave the dormitory a completely new look, adding a cozy ambiance, which greatly pleased Qiu Xi and her roommates.
"Alright, let's throw away the trash and go eat." After admiring their work, Qiu Xi remembered that classes started tomorrow and they needed to study tonight.
"Let's go!" As soon as food was mentioned, Song Daiyao was always enthusiastic.
At 10 PM, Qiu Xi lay in bed and suddenly remembered her birthday. She sent a message to Hua Linglong.
"Linglong, my birthday is this week. Are you free?"
She replied almost instantly, "Ah! I remembered! It's the 12th!"
"Mhm, mhm."
"What should I do!!! I have classes all day that day... ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅"
Seeing this, Qiu Xi also felt helpless. She couldn't skip class; a good student wouldn't do that.
"..." e(┬┬﹏┬┬)3kΑnshu伍.ξà
"How about this weekend? I'll make it up to you, okay?"
What else could she do? "Okay, I'll stay up all night with you."
"Love you, darling~ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)◞"
"Got it~ Get some rest early!"
"Okay~"
Putting down her phone, Qiu Xi lost all other thoughts and decided to just celebrate with her roommates that day.
