SIAS Chapter 253.1

It’s easy to find old furniture at the scrap station, but many of them have missing parts.

Some of the furniture is clearly quite old, and the materials are very good, but the exquisite carvings on them have either been sawn off or worn away.

Yi Qingqing found a sandalwood bed inside. The bedposts and carvings were gone. She couldn’t tell if it was the same shape as the bed she signed for. Only the material was similar. Even if it were, the one she signed for was brand new.

In addition, there was a Luohan bed with only the bed board left, and a pair of sandalwood tables and benches.

It seemed there used to be a set of sandalwood furniture here.

“Let’s use these. They are all made of high-quality rosewood, which can calm the mind and stabilize emotions.” Said Yi Qingqing.

Yun Guyuan glanced at the table and said, “The two beds are enough. Forget about the table and stools. They are not clean.”

Yi Qingqing thought that he was saying the table was dirty, “Okay, then we’ll just use the beds!” (T/N: Wow, I think there is some ‘dirty’ attached to it! So scary!)

They carried the bed out of the scrap station and dismantled the bed board in a wasteland not far away.

It is made slightly narrower than the width of the bed, with a high table of 50 cm in height, specially used for placing boxes and books, and a low table of 40 cm in height that can be used as a small desk.

When the low table is not in use, it can be hidden under the high table and placed at the end of the bed without taking up any space.

After Yun Guyuan measured the dimensions and drew the lines to be sawn, others could help to saw the boards or smooth out the gaps. With everyone working together, the process was quite fast. The seven pairs of tables were completed in a few hours.

In addition to the sandalwood table, they also nailed a mini stool for each person using other ordinary wooden boards.

Small enough to fit inside a cabinet.

It can be stored away, and you can avoid the awkward situation of having no seat when you want to sit.

Although the school has a public bathhouse, it is impossible to go there every day. When taking a bath, you may still have to do it in the dormitory.

There is only one chair in the dormitory, so if you want to sit on it, you can only sit on someone else’s bed.

It’s okay to sit on someone else’s bed when the relationship is good, but it’s awkward when the relationship is bad.

The above are all Li Mengxue’s experiences.

As the only person in the group who had enjoyed the ‘love education’ in high school and university dormitories, Li Mengxue shared a lot of experience with them, which greatly shocked Yi Qingqing.

What she saw on the Internet in her previous life was still too superficial.

However, Li Mengxue’s approach of drawing clear boundaries and being wary of roommates reminded Yi Qingqing of the mirror Li Mengxue had given her, which she still uses today.

She probably did the same when she went to the countryside: first draw clear boundaries, be wary, and then slowly test other people’s character to decide whether to develop a deeper relationship with them.

This approach might seem a bit cold-hearted when you first meet someone, but it’s effective in preventing you from getting hurt.

Look at Wang Lingling, she practically treated Li Mengxue’s dormitory survival rules like gospel, repeating them over and over again to confirm with Li Mengxue if she remembered them correctly, and even saying she would write them down and study them carefully when she got back.

“Oh, if we could find a house that’s close and of the right size, we could rent one together.” Li Mengxue sighed.
