Chapter 165 Zhuang Tunan, what are you laughing at?
Zhuang Tunan is in class.
His gaze kept drifting towards Zhang Wanshu.
After assigning homework, the teacher took the textbooks and left the classroom. Li Jia stood up and said, "Everyone, don't leave yet. Winter vacation is coming soon, and we need to compile a list of student tickets. Please write down your home dates and train numbers on a piece of paper and give it to your dormitory head, who will then give it to me."
"Okay!" the students responded in unison.
Zhuang Tunan, carrying his schoolbag, walked quickly to Zhang Wanshu's side.
"What date are you buying your ticket for? Didn't we agree last time that we'd both go back together during our holidays so we could look after each other?"
Zhang Wanshu paused in packing her schoolbag, then looked up at Zhuang Tunan. "I'm going back after the exam; my train ticket is for the morning of the 10th."
"Then I'll buy a ticket for the 10th too, and I'll wait for you downstairs at your dorm!"
Zhang Wanshu nodded slightly: "Mm!"
Yu Tao walked over at this moment and patted Zhuang Tunan on the shoulder: "Tunan, let's go buy corrugated paper."
Zhuang Tunan glanced at Zhang Wanshu, then turned and followed Yu Tao toward the door.
As he reached the door, Zhuang Tunan looked back again.
For this assignment, the teacher asked them to make a chair out of corrugated cardboard. The design concept was to be bold and unrestrained, and to rely on their own imagination.
Zhuang Tunan already had a general idea of the direction in mind, and as he walked, he conceived the shape of the chair in his mind.
Back in his dorm, Zhuang Tunan took out a blank sheet of paper and began drawing a design for a chair, figuring out how to make it more stable.
After some thought, the design was finally completed.

The final exams ended the next day.
Zhuang Tunan carried a heavy suitcase containing three boxes of butterfly cookies that he had carefully selected from a store the day before.
At 7:30, Zhuang Tunan arrived right on time. He stood quietly downstairs in the girls' dormitory building, holding a paper bag in his hand, glancing at the dormitory entrance from time to time.
Li Jia lives with her grandparents. If she went back, she would sleep in the kitchen hallway, which is cramped, stuffy, and uncomfortable. It's more comfortable to stay in the dormitory, so she doesn't plan to go back.
The other girls in the dormitory had already started packing their luggage, and Li Jia slowly climbed down from the top bunk.
She took a comb out of the drawer, preparing to tidy up her somewhat messy hair.
Without realizing it, her eyes casually drifted out the window.
Zhuang Tunan?
Li Jia paused in combing her hair, surprised. "Why is Zhuang Tunan standing downstairs in our dormitory?"
Hearing Li Jia's words, Zhang Wanshu curiously walked to the window and glanced at Zhuang Tunan.
“Zhuang Tunan and I are from the same hometown. We agreed to take the train home together so we could keep each other company. Didn’t you see? A while ago, they caught a group of human traffickers and rescued eleven children and women. It’s not safe out there now, so traveling together will help us look after each other.”
Zhuang Tunan stood downstairs, looking up at the dormitory building, wondering to himself which room was Zhang Wanshu's.
The person standing by the window in the fourth room on the left on the second floor is none other than Zhang Wanshu!
A bright smile instantly spread across his face. He stuffed the paper bag into his pocket, and danced with excitement, waving happily downstairs.
Zhang Wanshu looked down at Zhuang Tunan, who was laughing happily, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly. The air around her seemed to be filled with pink bubbles and had a sweet smell. Then she turned around and continued to pack her luggage.
Li Jia's eyes held a mixture of curiosity and inquiry. "Wanshu, you and Zhuang Tunan, the two of you?"
While tidying her clothes, Zhang Wanshu casually replied, "We're just ordinary classmates. You know we're always together."
Li Jia, braiding her hair, looked embarrassed. "I was just asking casually, just asking casually."
Ten minutes later, Zhang Wanshu came downstairs carrying her luggage.
The moment she saw Zhuang Tunan, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head slightly, trying to avoid his intense gaze. "Let's go."
Zhuang Tunan quickly went to help her carry her luggage, his enthusiasm bordering on excessive. "Let me help you carry it, I'm strong, really."
After saying that, Zhuang Tunan stuffed the paper bag he was holding into his hand. "The steamed buns are still warm. I bought them especially for you."
Zhang Wanshu tried to refuse. "No need, I can carry it myself, really, no need!"
Zhuang Tunan was quite strong and snatched the luggage bag away in one go.
She held the paper bag in her hand, sniffed it, and couldn't resist taking out a steamed bun and eating it.
In the dormitory room on the second floor, Li Jia stood by the window, quietly watching the two of them leave, her eyes filled with an imperceptible envy.
Even she herself is a little confused now, not knowing what's going on, only feeling a bit conflicted.
She reached out and touched her heart, wondering if she had sinus arrhythmia, because her heart felt so twisted.
After watching her four roommates leave, chatting and laughing, Li Jia was suddenly left alone in the room, the silence almost unsettling.
At that moment, she suddenly felt like someone abandoned by the world, with no one caring or asking about her.
Unconsciously, tears streamed down my face.
The dormitory door was pushed open, and a female classmate from next door, who also didn't go home, walked in.
"Li Jia, shall we go eat?"
Li Jia felt a cool sensation on her face, touched it, and realized it was tears. She quickly turned her head away, wiped away the tears, and forced a smile. "Go, wait for me, get the lunchbox!"
,,,,,,,,,,
The two boarded the train, and Zhang Wanshu's seat happened to be in the middle.
Zhuang Tunan quickly put away his luggage. "Zhang Wanshu, you sit inside, I'll sit in the middle."
He sat in the middle; the train was crowded, with people even sitting in the aisle.
The mere touch of his shoulder made Zhuang Tunan's heart pound violently, as if it were about to leap out of his throat.
My gaze was uncontrollably drawn to Zhang Wanshu, and I glanced at her profile as she looked out the window.
At that moment, his eyes were fixed on her.
Zhang Wanshu's clear voice broke Zhuang Tunan's gaze. "Zhuang Tunan, would you like an apple?"
Zhuang Tunan, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of it. "Thank you, but I don't want any, you eat it!"
His face instantly turned red. Looking at his reflection in the glass, Zhuang Tunan quickly turned his head away and pinched his thigh hard. He wasn't usually like this. Would Zhang Wanshu think he was a little stupid? Ah!
Zhang Wanshu pursed her lips, looking at Zhuang Tunan's expression, and found it amusing.
He's quite interesting. The dazed Zhuang Tunan is like two different people, one radiant and the other a bit silly and cute.
How embarrassing! Zhuang Tunan thought to himself, trying to calm himself down.
Zhuang Tunan pulled his bag out from under the seat and took out a beautifully packaged box of butterfly cookies. "Here, I bought these yesterday. I bought an extra box, so you can take them home and eat them."
Zhang Wanshu also took out a box of mung bean cakes from her luggage. "I bought extra of these too, you can take them home and eat them."
The two exchanged pastries, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Wanshu tilted her head, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Zhuang Tunan, what are you laughing at!"
