Chapter 235: Lots of Unread Messages
"By the way, Shiya, Yueling, Yiqing, do you like sausages? My mom made them herself. I'm planning to send some local specialties from my hometown so you can try them~"
Zhang Xiaoyu felt like she hadn't quite processed what had just happened. Her roommates were all nice, with good personalities, and they often helped each other out, getting along very well. So it was best not to show favoritism.
She could just ask Yiqing for her hometown address. With express delivery so readily available these days, she could simply wait until after winter break and send it directly to Yiqing's hometown when she got home.
Chen Shiya laughed: "Why did you send local specialties from your hometown when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?"
Generally, when freshmen first start school, they might bring some local specialties that are easy to bring and enthusiastically share them with their new classmates and roommates.
Zhou Yueling: "I heard you, Xiaoyu. When you called your mother before, you said you were going to send local specialties to the friends who helped you, and there were more than a dozen of them?!"
Xia Yiqing looked at her, somewhat helplessly: "Um... Yueling, normally even if you secretly overheard someone's phone conversation, you would pretend you didn't hear it, right? But you just blurted it out."
Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay. I make the calls right in front of you, so it doesn't matter if you hear me."
Anyway, there's nothing in it that I can't listen to.
Most of the other roommates also make phone calls from inside the dorm. Some call close friends, but most call their parents.
Zhang Xiaoyu often overhears her roommate chatting with family and friends, and sometimes she finds it quite heartwarming.
Zhang Xiaoyu: "Actually, during today's live stream, I happened to be chatting with another streamer I know, and she would occasionally send some gifts to support the big spender."
"I was thinking about myself. I feel like I've really received a lot of care from my older brother during this live stream. So I decided to send a gift too, since it's been almost a month since I started live streaming, and I wanted to commemorate it."
Zhou Yueling asked curiously, "You even commemorate a month of live streaming? You must have so many anniversaries, including all sorts of holidays and birthdays, right? Do you have to give gifts for every single one of them?"
Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head: "I don't know either. This is the first time I've given a gift. It's the one-month anniversary of the live stream, so I gave a gift as an excuse. As for whether I'll give a gift every time in the future, we'll see."
Chen Shiya clicked her tongue: "Then you're going to send them to too many people, more than a dozen. Even if you send two to each person, you'd have to buy sausages wholesale to make enough, right?"
Zhang Xiaoyu subconsciously counted on her fingers: "Besides my older brother at home, there's my boss, and a few long-time fans in my live stream. They've always helped me maintain the atmosphere in the live stream and have been with me for a long time. There are also the streamers I met while I was live streaming; they've helped me a lot too."
"Since all these people have given gifts, my dear roommate certainly can't be left out."
Zhou Yueling: "I really like eating sausages, especially handmade ones! But when I heard that you, Xiaoyu, are going to give them to so many people, I felt like I was adding to your burden."
Chen Shiya nodded: "Yes, and we can buy it ourselves. It's too much trouble for you to send it over."
Xia Yiqing: "I don't need to. There are no pots or bowls at school, so I can't cook."
Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head with a smile: "What's the trouble? It's just that I have a lot of people to deliver to, so I don't need to send more than a few of you."
"I guarantee my mom's sausages are absolutely delicious! You definitely can't buy them anywhere else, Shiya! You'll really regret missing out!"
"As for Yiqing, I've already thought of a solution to the problem you mentioned. Give me your hometown address, and I'll mail it to you when I go back for winter break! Since it's for my dear roommates, I won't forget a single one!"
Anyway, Zhang Xiaoyu kept pestering her, and all three roommates agreed. They even hugged for a while. That's how girls' friendships are—clingy and sweet.
When we arrived at the east gate of the school, most of the people were already there, and it didn't take long for everyone to gather.
The restaurant I'm going to is near the school, about a 10-minute walk away.
The restaurant was chosen by a few class committee members who had reserved the table in advance. As for the cost of the dinner, they had already paid their class dues, so it would be deducted from those funds.
Zhang Xiaoyu naturally sat with her roommates, while the others sat with their closer friends. The group of over thirty people chatted and laughed, making it quite lively.
Once everyone was seated, the homeroom teacher stood up and spoke.
Zhang Xiaoyu's homeroom teacher is a middle-aged man, but he doesn't teach their class; he teaches the second-year students.
He seems like a nice person, quite gentle, but sometimes he talks a lot of nonsense.
For example, right now, he talked for almost 10 minutes before stopping.
However, Zhang Xiaoyu felt fine, since she was sitting down anyway, and it was fine as long as it went in one ear and out the other.
Because their homeroom teacher wasn't at their table and had her back to them, they could play on their phones and chat secretly if they got bored.
In their dorm group chat, they quietly complained that today's homeroom teacher was also a long-winded teacher, and even made a bet on when he would finish talking.
The homeroom teacher finally sat down, and the other students started talking louder.
Zhou Yueling put her hand to her mouth and whispered, "I timed it, it's been 10 minutes."
Xia Yiqing: "I can tell you're really bored."
Zhou Yueling didn't refute, but laughed a few times.
Besides beverages, there's also beer.
Most guys, driven by a certain male chauvinism, believe that men should drink, so they pour themselves a full glass of beer. Some even chug it straight from the bottle, which makes even beer a little scary.
Many of the girls had never even drunk beer before; they were all relatively young adults and hadn't reached the age to drink before.
Many people were curious and poured some out to try it.
Zhou Yueling was also one of the girls who chose to drink beer, and she poured herself a full glass. The bottom was yellow liquid with a layer of white foam on top, which looked quite nice and seemed legitimate.
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at her: "Yueling, have you ever drunk beer before?"
Zhou Yueling nodded: "Yes, I have. My family always has ice-cold beer in the summer. Have you ever tried it?"
"I tasted it, and it's definitely not what I like. It tastes weird."
"I've tried it too, but I don't understand why people who like beer like to drink it."
Zhou Yueling: "I think it's okay, but people who don't like it really don't like it. You guys can just drink what you like. The juice is delicious too."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "I've never drunk it."
Zhou Yueling's eyes lit up, and she suddenly picked up a beer bottle, eager to try it. "Little Fish, you can try it! You're an adult now, and this is beer, it's very low in alcohol, so don't worry about getting drunk."
Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't resist her enthusiasm, and mainly because she was also a little curious, "Okay, then pour me half a cup."
"Okay, okay~ We agreed on half a cup, so it's only half a cup. We won't pour you any more."
Zhang Xiaoyu took a sip and frowned slightly: "I don't think it tastes very good either."
Zhou Yueling: "At first I also thought the taste was weird, but the more I drank it, the more I felt... hey? It seems to have become delicious, haha."
Suddenly, her phone received a lot of WeChat messages. Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the increasing number of messages and opened them.
