Downstairs 249, Upstairs 251

Chapter 2. Somi

Du Du: Wow, I suddenly appreciate my roommate.

HaHaHa: Then my roommate is not half that bad if we look at it this way. Although he/she studies until late at night, at least he/she still showers *chuckle*

......

Lisa grinned, then typed up a reply for the second post:

[Alright, I'll feed you a bowl of poisonous chicken soup, go work your ass off although it may not be useful in the end.]

She continued reading the comments.

Du Da Fan: My roommate is bizarre too. She wants to play with her phone at night so she bought a blackout curtain to cover her bed up because she's afraid she'll get caught by the teacher. She clipped the curtain around my ladder, so I can't get down when I want to go to the washroom. She won't listen to me, and asked me to adjust the clip myself. But if I do, the noise will annoy my roommates and they'll scold me. I want to tell the teacher about it, but I'm scared my classmates will boycott me...

More or less: What the heck, just go and tell the teacher. That's so immoral.

Not Surprised: +1, your classmates don't understand your situation because they never slept in the upper bed.

My apple is fake: Yes, don't tolerate this kind of person.

......

Lisa pressed 'like' and typed up a reply:

[When you come down at night, rip it off. If she wants you to pay, you say you'll go report it to the teacher. As for your roommates, they'll stop bullying you after you rip it. Girl, rise up! Be bold!]

Many comments followed below.

Xiao Miao: Girl, rise up! Be bold!

HaHaHa: Girl, rise up! Be bold!

I don't wanna grow up: Girl, rise up! Be bold!

I love Du Da: Girl, rise up! Be bold!

Confess Author Xiu Shu: Aaaah! All hail Du Da!

Why like that: Don't break the chain!

Night thinking of you: Aaaah! All hail Du Da!

Left Throat: Aaaah! All hail Du Da!

Thousand miles away: Aaah! All hail Du Da!

......

Hm, after reading the comments, she was glad that at least the bizarre young man upstairs was staying one floor away from her.

She logged out in a better mood, feeling happier as her alias, Du Da.

After clicking into the website, she began typing. She hadn't uploaded a post yet.

After an hour of writing, she finished three thousand characters and uploaded it. Then, she made a notification about the update on weibo.

After a few minutes, people started commenting. The comments started building up slower than her other account. Some had faster reading speed and some did not, but there were also those who were camping.

Gu Yi: Aaah, I've felt something was amiss! I thought Gu Yi is the male lead, but he's a jerk in the end?! Author, I want to send you a blade...

Half-moon Unclear: Yes, ever since Su Kui appeared, Gu Yi's character is slowly falling apart, author.

April: I've always disliked Gu Yi. There must be a deeper reason why our author planned it this way. Girls, open your eyes! Love Su Kui.

......

Lisa sneered. Gu Yi's character was falling apart because his original form was Sehun. She'd feel disgusted to pair Gu Yi up with Qiu Ke.

She then replied the third post:

[Girls should rely on themselves in the first place, although love can be beautiful, we need to open our eyes to see it.]

After she replied, she turned off the computer. She was about to go crazy from switching between her two personalities. She was afraid that she might accidentally post poisonous chicken soup content on her Xiu Shu weibo.

(TN: Xiu Shu, also known as divorce letter in Mandarin)

Although she was speaking out her innermost thoughts in both accounts, they differed in certain traits. One was wild and carefree, while the other one was full of restraint.

However, how could it feel so good?!

......

Somi was a high school student who almost went crazy due to her roommate in the lower bunk. She was excited today because not only did Du Da reply to her, today was Saturday! She'd finally got her phone back and could read author Xiu Shu newest updates.

She finished reading a whole week of chapters in just half an hour. She clicked on it a few times, then finally came to a realization that there were no more new chapters.

She commented on the latest chapter:

[Author, I also think that we will meet bad people in our lives. We need to be braver and face it head-on. Don't be weak.]

Then, she seemed to have made a big decision as she closed her eyes shut.

Her roommate in the lower bunk was covering it up tightly like usual. It was approximately 10.30pm. No one was asleep yet as they laid in their beds chatting and playing with their phones.

Somi gritted her teeth and sat up. She stretched her hand towards the upper part of the curtain and ripped it off.

"Snap!" Some parts were ripped apart, and the clip in the middle was also broken.

Her lower bunk roommate shouted, "Somi, what are you doing?!"

Somi heaved a sigh, her hands trembling as she climbed down the ladder.

"You affected me."

"It does not mean you can rip it?! Pay me back."

"Then let us talk it out with the teacher. I'll tell her you have this curtain to block the light from your phone, and you have two phones."

"You..." The girl didn't know what else to say as she glowered at her.

Somi didn't care. With all her roommates stunned, she walked slowly to the washroom. She closed the door and gave out a deep sigh. Her palms were sweating while her legs were also shaking.

Ever since that day, throwing out garbage was no longer her sole duty in the dorm. Everyone took turns to do it, and no one took her things without permission anymore.

She left a message for Du Da: Du Da, thank you.

......

While her Du Da – Lisa had just moved into a new home, so she had to rearrange her stuff. She went out early in the morning to do some shopping.

But it was a small world indeed. She bumped into the guy upstairs after she went out.
