The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 2: The salted fish life that started from returning to high school
On the way back to the dormitory, Jiang Tianhao looked at Wu Xianyu with a look of surprise. Wu Xianyu got goosebumps from Jiang Tianhao's unscrupulous gaze and looked at him helplessly.
"Don't look at me like that, just tell me what you want to say."

"Then I'll be frank with you, buddy you really are this, you hooked up with a girl on the first day of school."

As he spoke, Jiang Tianhao gave a thumbs up with an admiring expression.

Wu Xianyu held a Coke in one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket. He glanced at Jiang Tianhao, who had a mischievous smile on his face, and pursed his lips.
"You used this word. It's just normal communication, but you made it look dirty. You're not still like elementary school and junior high school students, thinking that chatting with girls is a shame, right?"

Jiang Tianhao was choked and the smile on his face became forced.

"Of course not, that's only what elementary school students think. We're all going to be adults soon, and talking to girls isn't a big deal."

Wu Xianyu looked at Jiang Tianhao's insincere expression and smiled so hard that his eyes were invisible.

At this age and at this age, whether boys or girls, they are all as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. For Wu Xianyu, who already has work experience, chatting with them is a kind of relaxation.

Being looked at by Wu Xianyu like an old father, Jiang Tianhao got goose bumps all over his body. He rubbed his arms and put his arms around Wu Xianyu's neck.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to the dormitory and play some games. Did you know that League of Legends has a mobile game?"

"Huh? League of Legends has a mobile game? How come I didn't know about it?"

Wu Xianyu was confused. He remembered that the mobile game of League of Legends would be released around 2020.

"It's the King of Glory. It's just been out for a short time, but I tell you, the skills of the heroes in it are the same as those in League of Legends. You can start playing it directly without any pressure. I have been playing it for a whole summer vacation. I will show you how to kill people."

. . . . . .

"Victory!"

After being carried away by Wu Xianyu three times in a row, Jiang Tianhao put down his phone and looked at Wu Xianyu with a cheated expression.

"You said you've never played before!"

Wu Xianyu spread his hands, looking helpless.
"I really haven't played it before. You saw the beginner's tutorial in front of you."

It is true that I have never played this world, but that does not mean I have never played it before. As a future national-level mobile game, Wu Xianyu played it a lot when he was in college. He gradually gave it up after he started working, but he still got the hang of it faster than people today.

Jiang Tianhao got up to charge his phone. Wu Xianyu also got out of bed and stretched. The remaining two people in the dormitory also reported in. One was a fat boy with glasses named Sun Chuanchu, and the other had a buzz cut like Wu Xianyu, named Zhong Wei. He was not talkative, unlike Sun Chuanchu who shouted loudly when he saw Wu Xianyu and Jiang Tianhao playing games.

After stopping playing with their phones, several boys in the dormitory started chatting. There are always the same few common topics among the boys: games, sports, and after getting to know each other, they would add a girl.

Unfortunately, Wu Xianyu had no memory of his junior high school days, and after work, the only exercise he did was fishing. After talking about the few things he remembered about junior high school, Wu Xianyu had no more words to say.

Listening to the chirping sounds around him, Wu Xianyu felt relaxed physically and mentally, and gradually fell asleep. In the dormitory, when one person fell asleep, the rest seemed to be infected. As Sun Chuanchu yawned, the three of them stopped talking and the dormitory fell into silence.

Until the footsteps outside the corridor became more and more, Jiang Tianhao scratched his head and sat up, looked at the sky outside the window, looked at the time, and stretched his head out of the bed to shout to Wu Xianyu in the lower bunk

"Hey, Xianyu, it's time for dinner, let's go to the cafeteria together."

Wu Xianyu opened his eyes, stretched comfortably, turned over and closed his eyes again, responding to Jiang Tianhao

"No, please bring me two buns. I'm too lazy to move."

"Good guy, you really live up to your name, you are really a salted fish"

Jiang Tianhao jumped down from the upper bunk and complained, then took out a few boxes of instant noodles from his suitcase, sat down at the table and sighed.

"I don't want to go out either, let's eat this tonight"

"Hey, there's this good stuff, is there any spicy one?"

"It must be there, and there are also big sausages."

. . . . . .

The aroma of instant noodles also attracted the other two. In addition to Zhong Wei who chose to eat in the cafeteria, Sun Chuanchu also joined the instant noodle party and chose a pickled vegetable one. Seeing the purple packaging, Wu Xianyu was also complaining in his heart.

“I don’t know when that started.”

Lin Miaomiao, who was eating in the cafeteria, kept looking around while eating, as if she was looking for something. The girl at the same table with her was very curious and waved her hand in front of her.
"Miao Miao, what are you looking for? You can't even concentrate on eating."

"Looking for someone, that's strange, maybe he has finished his meal and gone home?"

The girl sitting opposite Lin Miaomiao seemed to have guessed something. She raised her lips, narrowed her eyes, and said frivolously.

"Oh~ It can't be a boy, you have a target on the first day of school?"

"Hmm? What target? I'm looking for that person mainly because someone will buy me a drink."

Lin Miaomiao blinked her big eyes and looked at the girl opposite her, not knowing what she was talking about.

Seeing Lin Miaomiao like this, the girl opposite was stunned. In an instant, she felt that she was no longer innocent. In order to commemorate her lost innocence, she took a big bite of the bun.

The three people in the dormitory finished their instant noodles and drank a bottle of drink each. They burped comfortably. Wu Xianyu took the initiative to stand up and was about to pick up the three people's instant noodle buckets and throw them into the big trash can downstairs, but was stopped by Jiang Tianhao.
"No, I can do it myself. It's just right for me to take a few steps to digest the food after dinner. Let's go together."

Sun Chuanchu, who originally wanted to reap the benefits without doing anything else, also stood up and picked up his instant noodle bucket and walked downstairs.

When the three of them returned upstairs, the corridor was already bustling. Looking at the two people around him who were eager to join the melee, Wu Xianyu staggered towards the dormitory, leaving behind a sentence.

"You guys go play, I'm going back to the dormitory to wash up"

Wu Xianyu was brushing his teeth in the bathroom with his upper body naked when a penetrating voice came

"Quiet!!"

Wu Xianyu's body shuddered, and he swallowed a little of the toothpaste foam in his mouth.

"Damn, I haven't been to school for years, but I was still shocked when I heard that voice."

Spit out the foam in your mouth, rinse your mouth, and wipe your face casually with a wet towel. It’s good to be young. Just wash your face with clean water, and your face won’t be oily.

He wrung out the towel and walked out of the bathroom with the toiletries. A figure stood in the corridor with his back to him. In front of that person, several people including Jiang Tianhao who were playing in the corridor were like little chickens, shrinking their necks and lowering their heads.

Wu Xianyu walked around the man and went straight back to the dormitory. He put away his toiletries and listened to the dormitory teacher's call outside the door.

"Since you are all so energetic, then everyone should clean up your dormitories. I will come over to check later. Anyone who finds any problems will be punished by standing out." Hearing this familiar rhetoric, Wu Xianyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"The teachers' rhetoric can't be universal, right? Why is it the same everywhere?"

Seeing Jiang Tianhao and Sun Chuan coming back, Wu Xianyu consciously picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor. Others also consciously took other tools and started cleaning.

When the dormitory supervisor came back again, the dormitory had been cleaned and Wu Xianyu was already sitting on the bed reading a novel. However, the novels nowadays were a bit too old-fashioned for him, but he had no other form of entertainment, so he just read the novels.

Hearing the voice of the dormitory teacher getting closer, Wu Xianyu put away his mobile phone and waited for the teacher to take it away. He heard the dormitory teacher collecting the phones in each dormitory. In the past, Wu Xianyu might have tried every means to hide his phone, but now it doesn't matter. He cherishes his student time more. He will get tired of playing with the phone in the future, as student time is only a few years.

There is a saying that is very true, one cannot have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time.

But now Wu Xianyu has this opportunity, which allows him to experience youth again with the feelings of youth.

Compared to the rebirth and time-travel novels he had read before, in which the protagonists started planning for their own businesses since high school and college, and worked their way to the top step by step, Wu Xianyu wanted to relive his youth again.

He was not that obsessed with money. His parents left him a considerable inheritance, and he could earn millions of dollars in interest every year without doing anything. He also believed that he did not have the brains for entrepreneurship. Rather than being fooled into starting a business and losing everything, he might as well just lie down. He had been so exhausted in his previous life, so what was wrong with being a lazy person in this life?
When the dormitory teacher pushed open the door and came in, the other three had already finished washing up and returned to the dormitory. They were chatting, and when they saw the teacher, they consciously shut up and stood up waiting for the teacher's instructions.

Teacher Li walked in and took a quick look at the dormitory. He nodded slightly, but his expression did not change. He was still stern. When he saw Jiang Tianhao, he narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed at him and said,
"Jiang Tianhao, you will be the dormitory leader from now on. You did a good job of cleaning this time, keep it up. Now, everyone, hand in your electronic products, as well as snacks with strong odors, such as instant noodles, self-heating rice, etc. Hand them all in and take them back during the holidays."

Jiang Tianhao was staring and pointing at himself, as if to express shock, but Teacher Li didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he opened the bag in his hand and waited for several people to hand over their phones.

Seeing that the matter had been decided, Jiang Tianhao had no choice but to accept the position of dormitory head and put the phone in his bag. The other three also stepped forward to hand in their phones.

When Wu Xianyu was about to put his phone in his bag, Teacher Li closed the bag in his hand, his eyes fluctuated a little, and looked at the boy in front of him.
"You are Wu Xianyu, right? Please give your phone to your class teacher tomorrow and keep it on silent tonight."

After saying that, he put the bag and hands behind his back and walked out of the dormitory.

After the teacher left, Jiang Tianhao stepped forward and hugged Wu Xianyu's neck, speaking with resentment.
"You are not a top student, but the teachers are taking special care of you."

Wu Xianyu held the phone helplessly. He guessed that someone had specifically greeted him. He could only keep saying that he was not a top student and just got into the school through connections.

Jiang Tianhao returned to his seat doubtfully, took out a novel from his suitcase and started reading.

Wu Xianyu did not play with his phone in front of them. He turned off his phone and stuffed it under his pillow. He then took a novel from Jiang Tianhao and started reading.

I didn't pay attention when I took it, but after seeing the name of the protagonist inside, Wu Xianyu took another look at the cover.

"Dragon Race III: Tides of the Dark Moon? Tsk, bad luck."

I stuffed the book back into Jiang Tianhao's suitcase, and even stuffed it deeper inside. Jiang Tianhao was very surprised to see it.

"what happened?"

Wu Xianyu said to Jiang Tianhao while looking for other books
"Nothing, I advise you not to read this book, it's too unlucky."

“No, this book is quite good.”

Wu Xianyu took out a copy of "The Three-Body Problem 3: Death's End" from Jiang Tianhao's suitcase, nodded with satisfaction, and patted Jiang Tianhao on the shoulder.
"Just trust me, don't read the third part, especially the second part. Read more books like this if you have nothing to do."

After saying that, he shook the "Three-Body Problem" in his hand and returned to the bed.

Jiang Tianhao looked at the book "Dragon Clan" curiously, his face full of eagerness to try it out. He looked at the "Dragon Clan II" in his hand, which had not much left, and quickened his reading speed.

As the lights in the entire building went out, everyone could no longer continue reading and returned to their beds to prepare for sleep. However, because they had slept for a while in the afternoon, everyone was quite energetic and started chatting.

Sun Chuanchu turned sideways and posed like a sleeping arhat, which brought up the topic
"I don't know who the homeroom teacher is and whether he's easy to get along with. If he's a conservative, I'll be in trouble. It'll be three years."

"Huh, didn't you guys see the big screen at the school gate? The name of the class teacher is written on it."

A voice came from the bunk above Wu Xianyu. As someone who was promoted from the junior high school of the elite middle school, Jiang Tianhao obviously had more sources of information than others.

Sun Chuanchu sat up and asked Jiang Tianhao by holding onto the railing of the upper bunk.

"Brother Hao, do you know who our head teacher is?"

"Well, come on, call me Brother Hao more often, and I'll tell you when I'm happy."

Jiang Tianhao obviously enjoyed being called brother, and tempted Sun Chuanchu to call him more, and Sun Chuanchu did not disappoint Jiang Tianhao.

"Brother, Brother Hao, please reveal some information."

"Okay, since you called me brother, I can't let you down."

Jiang Tianhao cleared his throat and lowered his voice.

"Our head teacher is called Zhao Rongbao. He is our head teacher and also the grade director. He is definitely strict, but not old-fashioned. He is pretty good."

"Oh, then I feel relieved. What does the head teacher teach?"

"math"

The dormitory suddenly became quiet. Wu Xianyu felt his scalp tingling when he thought of the math problems that had strings of English letters but no numbers. His eyelids became heavy and he fell asleep unknowingly.

"Buzz--buzz--"

The vibrating sound of his cell phone woke Wu Xianyu up. He opened his eyes sleepily, reached for his phone to turn off the vibration, put on his glasses, sat up, looked at the scene around him, and slowly realized that he was in the school dormitory.

He sighed, dragged his heavy feet and took his toiletries to the bathroom. There were already several people washing up in the bathroom. Wu Xianyu joined them and looked around the bathroom while washing up. There were not so many faucets, so it would probably be crowded soon.

After washing up and returning to the dormitory, Wu Xianyu kindly reminded the three people who were still sleeping soundly.

"Get up early, there aren't many taps in the bathroom."

As if some key words were triggered, Jiang Tianhao sat up directly from the bed, took two steps at a time and got down from the upper bunk, then rushed to the bathroom with toiletries.

Looking at Jiang Tianhao's back, and then at the two people who said "yeah" and fell asleep again, Wu Xianyu couldn't help but sigh.
"You have to be an old student to know the horror of the 'morning rush hour'"
