Chapter 56 University

Perhaps on college eve, all parents in the world are alike—and despite similar mental preparations, Mrs. Reynolds' exaggeration was beyond Jay's expectations.

The night before, Mrs. Reynolds took her family to the supermarket to go shopping frantically. After Jay's symbolic and futile resignation, Mrs. Reynolds led her two valeted through the mall like an unstoppable general, stuffing her with snacks, groceries, and clothing of all kinds. Shopping bags until every inch of the vast cloth bag was squeezed dry, and not even a finger could fit in it. Then Mrs. Reynolds would pull out the next bag she had already prepared.

Although Jay's super-strength and a few full shopping bags don't numb his muscles, there's a limit to how much he can carry in his arms. Before long, his arms and shoulders were full of shopping bags, big and small, but there was no mirror next to him. Otherwise, Jay thought he must look like a walking Christmas tree.

Since Mr. Reynolds has been dragged here, there is no reason to get out quickly. It wasn't as exaggerated as Jay's, but with only three bags in his hand, he constantly moaned, shouting that his back wasn't working well. Mrs. Reynolds rolled her eyes at him, saying that was proof of a lack of exercise, and walking with weights just helped to exercise his old bones.

Jay glanced sympathetically at Mr. Reynolds and said he couldn't help. He was happy to help Dad share the burden, but unfortunately, he couldn't hang any more shopping bags on him, so he had to give up.

After Mrs. Reynolds got home, she carefully organized all these things. Jay saw that 70% of them were things he estimated he would not need, and he couldn't help but want to remind him. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Mrs. Reynolds pushed him aside as if he was trying to rob her of the fun.

Jay had no choice but to let her go. But to be fair, what's the use of him carrying something like a razor? It was like the blade of a razor could shave his beard.

But Mrs. Reynolds's decision in the family didn't deserve the two big men to interrupt, so the next day, they went on the road with big and small bags. The trunk of Mr. Reynolds' beloved Chevrolet was too full to close the lid, and the passenger seat was crammed from the center to the carpet. This gave Jay the illusion that he wasn't rushing to a college dorm, but his family was moving.

Although Mrs. Reynolds's posture was exaggerated, the university that Jay applied for was located in the Metropolis; the location was slightly remote. It was only more than 50 minutes drive from home. If he were allowed to fly, he would. It's no different than living next door. Jay listened to Mrs. Reynolds' seemingly endless nagging and encouraging and unknowingly came to the downstairs of the dormitory.

The dormitory is a two-person dormitory, and the space is quite ample. At least the college is not stingy in terms of student accommodation, but the dormitory door appears to have an accident. After Jay put the key in the hole, it took a lot of work to get the stubborn lock finally. He almost couldn't help but want to tear the aging lock cylinder with his bare hands, but fortunately, he ended up using the "regular" lock. The Way" opened the door.

After unloading the full car into the room, Mrs. Reynolds even offered to stay and clean the room for him, but she finally dismissed the idea after Jay tried his best to stop it. Jay thinks they're wasting time and energy because they are letting him make it look new in three seconds.

Then Mrs. Reynolds began to show him in turn what was in each box and bag - and he could see clearly through the tube. But he listened patiently to Mrs. Reynolds, for she looked like she was not tired of it.

It wasn't until she talked about the half bag of snacks and snacks that Jay finally couldn't help but say, "Mom, I'm not going abroad alone; I didn't even leave the Metropolis! You know how hard it is to go to the toilet every day. Can you fly home, right?"

"But you wouldn't do that, would you?"

Jay lost again. She was correct; he wouldn't do that because it would be pointless. He came to college as Jay Reynolds, and the focus was on college life as an ordinary person, and flying between home and school dorms every day sounded uncommon.

"You can share the unfinished snacks with your new roommate," Mrs. Reynolds said. "Appropriately friendly gestures can help you get closer."

"Yeah, he better be a simple guy who can be bought by a bag of chips," Jay half-jokingly.

"Okay, if it's all over, then we'll go." Mrs. Reynolds said, looking around as if trying to find an excuse. She ignored to stay for a while, and finally, He kissed her lightly on his forehead and said, "Then let's go; remember to call frequently when you have time."

So the Reynolds went out, and Jay heard them fighting the aging lock again, and a minute later, saw the black Chevrolet fade into the street from the window.

He lay on his back on the brand new white bed with a sigh of relief, deciding to allow himself thirty seconds of laziness before cleaning the floor of boxes and bags. But unfortunately, at the 20th second, a message tone came from his mobile phone.

Jay took out his phone and saw a text message from Carla: "Are you at school?"

"Yeah," Jay replied briefly.

"How is the new dormitory?"

"So-so. The environment is good, but the door lock is broken."

"Ha, that's unlucky."

Jay couldn't help but smile and replied with enclave fingers, "Yeah, unlucky."

Kara was silent for more than ten seconds and asked, "Where's the roommate? What kind of guy is he? Is it difficult to deal with?"

"I don't know; he hasn't"

As soon as Jay typed this half sentence into the dialog box, there was a commotion outside the door. It sounded like a key tangled with a stubborn old lock cylinder. It was presumably his new roommate. So while he got up and went to open the door for this man, he deleted the words in the dialog and said, "Wait a minute, it sounds like he's here; I'll open the door for him."

However, what he didn't expect was that the moment Jay walked less than an arm's distance from the dormitory door, a dull explosion suddenly sounded from the other side. The metal door snapped open with a scream of "pop", almost brushing the tip of his nose and flying past.

It seems that this door failed to escape the fate of being opened in an "unconventional way".

Jay stared blankly at the guy in the wallet and jeans that appeared at the door, pulling back his kicked right leg. After seeing his face, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Mike?"

Mike Marcus - the hot-blooded kid who popped out of nowhere when Jay met a street robber a few days ago - couldn't help but be startled when he saw Jay: "Jay?"
