Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 26 1 A Group of Night Owls

After a while, Ma Junjie returned to the dormitory.

The dormitory was still mostly empty, with four or five people inside looking at their phones or listening to music.

Wang Hu was playing the Snake game on his phone.

Looking up, he saw Ma Junjie come in and called out.

"Ah Jie, come here quickly!"

Ma Junjie ignored him and went to his bed first, placing the things he had just bought on it.

Seeing that Ma Junjie ignored him, Wang Hu looked up and glanced at him a few more times.

Lower your head again,

He immediately flew into a rage and started cursing.

"Damn it! My snake was so long, almost broke the record, and then it bit its own tail, holy crap!"

He grumbled and slammed the phone shut, then stuffed it into his pocket.

Then he walked towards Ma Junjie's bed.

Ma Junjie went to the bathroom sink to wash his face.

When I came back,

I saw a wrinkled set of work clothes on the bed.

He quickly looked at Wang Hu.

But they discovered that Wang Hu was holding an apple.

With a "crunch," I took a big bite, and juice gushed out.

Wang Hu stuck out his tongue and licked it again.

Said,

"Ah Jie, don't thank me. I went to Team Leader Zhang's place on some business and picked up a set of work clothes for you while I was there!"

Ma Junjie stared at Wang Hu and shouted,

"Wang Hu, is that apple mine?"

Wang Hu smiled dismissively.

"Isn't there another banana in your bag?"

Ma Junjie was furious. He glared at Wang Hu and shouted angrily.

"Damn it, don't you dare touch my things again!"

As soon as he said that, the other people in the dormitory all turned to look at him.

Feeling humiliated, Wang Hu forcefully spat out the apple he hadn't swallowed.

Pointing his finger at Ma Junjie, he cursed.

"Who the hell are you cursing?"

"Kid, do you want to die? It's just an apple, why are you making such a fuss?"

Ma Junjie stared at Wang Hu.

"I'll yell at anyone who touches my things!"

"If he does that again, I'll break his hand!"

"Damn it!" Wang Hu cursed, slamming the apple he was holding onto the ground.

"Kid, you're so arrogant, come on, break my hand!"

"If you don't break my hand today, I'll change my name backwards!"

Ma Junjie looked coldly at Wang Hu and said,

"Tiger King?"

"Pah, you're not worthy!"

"Hahaha!" The others burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Wang Hu was even more humiliated. His face contorted with rage, and he clenched his fists, ready to charge forward and attack Ma Junjie.

Ma Junjie's eyes widened, and he glared angrily.

Wang Hu was startled when he saw it; his heart skipped a beat.

Ma Junjie is as strong as a big bull.

And I look like a skinny monkey.

Feeling a bit scared, I stopped.

He swallowed hard and said angrily.

"Damn it, I'll let you off the hook today since you're new here and don't know any better!"

"If there's a next time, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

The others in the dormitory laughed.

"Wang Hu, you're not doing well here either. You seem a bit weak."

"Didn't you say before that your ex-girlfriend's boyfriend was a boxer who challenged you to a fight, and you easily took him down? Weren't you very good?"

Wang Hu waved his hand, looked at Ma Junjie, and said...

"This kid just came from the countryside and doesn't know the rules. Let's give him a chance to learn."

"If he dares to talk to me like that again, I'll make him kneel on the ground and sing 'Conquer'!"

"Tch!" Knowing that Wang Hu was too cowardly, the group scattered and went back to playing on their phones.

Wang Hu also turned around and went back to his bed.

Ma Junjie had completely seen through Wang Hu's character and decided not to stoop to his level.

Picked up the work clothes and looked at them.

I tried it on myself again, and it was fine; the size was just right.

Wang Hu glanced at it and said coldly,

"Damn it, my good intentions were wasted. Next time you ask me for a favor, I won't do you any good deeds!"

Ma Junjie knew Wang Hu was talking about him, but he couldn't be bothered to respond.

He put his work clothes on the bed, then took out his newly bought clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Ten minutes later, Ma Junjie changed into his newly bought clothes.

They washed the clothes they had taken off along with their work clothes and hung them on the balcony to dry.

He saw the black polo shirt, the holes getting bigger and bigger.

Then I remembered Li Xuemei saying she would mend it for me, but I felt it would be difficult.

This naturally brought Li Xuemei to mind again, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Li Xuemei is quite an interesting girl.

He walked to the bedside, sat down, picked up the banana that Li Xuemei had given him, peeled it, and ate it.

Lying in bed, he thought about all the things that had happened that day.

Many things feel like a dream.

Especially now, I'm actually lying in Guangdong.

Although it hasn't started making money yet

However, he always felt that everything was developing in a good direction, and that one day he would make a lot of money and bring glory to his ancestors.

Thinking like this, he unknowingly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Ma Junjie was awakened by a noise.

I opened my eyes and, in the dim moonlight, saw people walking around in the dormitory.

On several beds, some people had TV dramas and music playing loudly.

This gave Ma Junjie the wrong impression.

It seems like it's still quite early.

He sat up, patted his roommate who was sitting right next to him, and asked,

"Hey bro, what time is it?"

The person in the next bed, reading an e-book, answered impatiently.

"2 points."

"Oh!" Ma Junjie replied, and the next second...

"What? 2 a.m.?"

He looked up incredulously at the people in the dormitory.

Apart from myself and one other person who were sleeping, everyone else was playing on their phones, seemingly getting more excited the darker it got.

Ma Junjie couldn't understand it.

What kind of night owls are these? They work so hard during the day, don't they need to sleep at night?

He shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "I must remember to buy an earplug and an eye mask tomorrow, otherwise it will be hard to stay in this dormitory at night."

He lay in bed, tossing and turning.

Several old fans overhead were barely managing to blow a breeze.

The breeze only reaches the upper bunk; by the time it reaches the lower bunk, it's mostly just some warmth.

There are many people in the dormitory.

The noise and stuffiness were making Ma Junjie very irritable and uncomfortable.

He tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Finally, in the middle of the night, the dormitory quieted down.

The weather is gradually getting cooler.

Ma Junjie then fell asleep again.

At some point, rustling sounds began to come from the dormitory.

When Ma Junjie woke up, he saw that almost everyone was already up.

Although Wang Hu had a conflict with Ma Junjie yesterday, he still spoke to Ma Junjie this morning.

"Ah Jie, let's go! Wash your face and head to the cafeteria for breakfast!"

"What time is it?" Ma Junjie asked.

"7:10. We need to gather for roll call and a morning meeting at 7:30."

Ma Junjie quickly got up and went to get his work clothes hanging outside.

The weather was so hot that it dried overnight.

Ma Junjie changed into his work clothes, washed his face, and said,

"Wang Hu, let's go!"

Wang Hu stared at Ma Junjie and smiled.

"Damn, Ah Jie, you look better than me even in your work clothes!"

Ma Junjie smiled faintly.

"Let's hurry, I don't want to be late on the first day!"

As he spoke, Ma Junjie started running quickly.

Wang Hu shouted from behind, "Wait a minute, don't fucking rush..."
