Zhang Wen didn't die.

She just woke up in the morning with a heavy nasal voice, as if she had a bad cold.

Her whole body was trembling and sweating.

It was clearly the middle of summer, and the air conditioning in the dormitory had been turned off long ago, but Zhang Wen kept insisting that she felt cold.

I tried touching Zhang Wen's forehead and felt some heat. I took out a thermometer and measured her temperature, and sure enough, she had a fever.

"I didn't do anything, so why am I running a fever?"

"Because someone is freezing."

I don't need to say the rest. Zhang Wen understood too.

Zhang Wen caught a heavy cold, so she didn't go out with me today. It wouldn't be much help even if she did.

At A University, military training doesn't start until one week after the start of the semester.

Today is the day to receive the military training uniform. I received a WeChat message from Qiao Qiao early in the morning:

"Xia Xia, can you help me get a military training uniform from a senior sister? I think the school's uniform is too expensive, so I bought a second-hand one from a senior sister. By the way, Xia Xia, do you want it? I can give you the senior sister's WeChat."

After thinking for a moment, I replied to Qiao Qiao:

"Okay, I'll help you get it. But I don't need it because I've already bought one. It's not easy to return, and it would be a waste."

Qiao Qiao bought it from a senior sister who was a senior. When I arrived, the senior sister was already waiting under a tree. She saw me and asked:

"Where's Qiao Qiao?"

"Qiao Qiao had some family matters and hasn't arrived yet." The senior sister gave me a bag.

"The military training uniform is inside. I also put some homemade nougat in it. Since Qiao Qiao hasn't come yet, you can share it."

I found an excuse to take a walk with the senior sister around the playground. The sun in early September in City A was scorching hot, and as we strolled, we ended up sitting on the grass in a shady area.

"How did you meet Qiao Qiao?" I asked the senior sister.

"Oh, when the admission notice was issued, I was selling second-hand books in the group, and Qiao Qiao added me at that time."

The senior sister also told me:

"Actually, I didn't expect you freshmen to buy books from me at first. I remember that it was only in the second semester of the first year that people started buying these old books one after another."

Before saying goodbye to the senior sister, I asked her:

"Senior sister, what happens if you report something lost to the school and the police?"

"The police will first go to the counselor to find out the situation. My advice is, if it's not of high value, don't report it. Because if there are frequent police cars at the school, it will inevitably affect the reputation. If you report it, the college might even have a chat with you. By the way, did you lose something?"

When I returned to the dormitory building, instead of going straight upstairs, I knocked on the door of the duty room where the dormitory manager auntie was.

The dormitory manager auntie was watching TV in the duty room. When she saw me, she greeted me:

"Do you have something to discuss?"

"Auntie, my roommate lost something."
