Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday were the busiest days for the auto repair shops.
Father Su came back at eight o’clock. When he returned home, he turned on the entrance and living room lights. He thought that his second daughter should be back.
He walked involuntarily to the glass door and looked inside, quietly and coldly.
As a matter of fact, it had been cloudy and rainy recently. The windows of the balcony should not be opened. But in order to disperse formaldehyde, they were kept open. He built a canopy outside the balcony, so when it rained some light rain could still come in.The tatami was wet all day and night, so he had spread a layer of transparent tarpaulin on it.
(Tatami: wooden flooring mat, tarpaulin: plastic covering)
He opened the door. There was still a slight smell of formaldehyde in the balcony.
In order not to let the rain wet the tatami, the two windows on the balcony were only half open.
There was no sunlight in the north. It was difficult for tatami to get dry once wet.
There were several green bottles of spider plants hanging in the wardrobe. In these cold days, spider plants didn’t freeze to death, it instead became more lush.
Father Su closed the door of the balcony and knocked at the door of Su Xingyang, “Yangyang.”
Su Xingyang hurried over to open the door. The air conditioner was turned on in the house, so the heat wave came in.
“Did your second sister return?”
Su Xingyang’s height had been increasing recently and he was 1.7 meters tall. He only wore loose sweaters in the room, “I went to her class to find her. Her classmate said that the second sister had gone home so I came back.”
Father Su nodded and asked him again, “How is your second sister at school recently? Is there …” He wanted to ask about skipping classes and the like.
Su Xingyang went in the room, took his phone, quickly opened their campus forum, and showed him the latest and most trending post “Who is this Shā mǎ tè who made teachers scold us?”
It was the first time Father Su saw the campus forum. He took his phone and looked at it.
He first frowned, and asked Su Xingyang, “Do the teachers in your school call students like this?”
Su Xingyang shook his head, “I don’t know about other classes, but our class teachers don’t.”
(Shā mǎ tè is apparently considered as a bad word)
Father Su looked at it and laughed, because the students in the post said that their class was tortured because of the Shā mǎ tè. He saw the progress of his second daughter and was happy for her.
Su Xingyang said, “I don’t know if it’s second sister who is mentioned in the post, but I haven’t heard any bad news about her from school recently, nor have I seen her follow her usual group …across the city” The Shā mǎ tè always appeared in groups. They walked in the road with their own background music, turning countless eyes who looked at them. The school soon knew, because some people photographed their ugliness and sent it to the campus forum to mock them.
Su Xingyang was also used to checking the campus forum to see if she had any news.
….
Su Xingchen was now alone in the bedroom. Everyone else had gone home.
When she came back from school, she heard her roomates discussing the matter of the ‘Shā mǎ tè’ on the forum.
Zhang Yingying jokingly said, “Xingchen, is it you?”
“It’s really possible. You study so seriously.”
An Ran and Shan Qing were packing up. Zhang Wenqi, who was lying on the bed reading a book, looked up. She sneered and then said, “Could you pull yourself away from something good?”
She rolled her eyes, “Your skin is really thick.” “
As soon as she opened her mouth, the bedroom was frozen and there was no sound.
After a few seconds, Zhang Yingying’s voice rang, “Is there a skin thicker than yours?”
(Thick skin: shameless)
Zhang Wenqi’s face was crooked.
Her facial features were all pretty good and she had no problem with it. She had a big face, but had small eyes, small nose and thin lips.
An Ran and Shan Qing packed their things at night and walked away after school.
Every Friday, they were the happiest and most active, because they could finally go home and eat delicious food.
An Ran and Zhang Yingying left first. Zhang Wenqi slowly dragged all the dirty underwear from under the bed. After a week of accumulation, it was smelly. (Id-nim note: She can’t even wash her underwear……. *faceplam* No comment)
Shan Qing, who was originally waiting for her family to pick her up, frowned and covered her nose. She asked Su Xingchen, “Aren’t you going home?”
“No.”
“Then I’ll go first, bye,” she hurried away and ran out into the corridor, breathing in the fresh air.
They brought back their dirty clothes to wash, but some girls even brought back their dirty underwear. They usually washed them when they changed at night.
After Zhang Wenqi left, Su Xingchen was left alone in the dormitory. There were very few people left in the entire dormitory building.
