Since the dormitory was equipped with a telephone, we have become "gentlemen" - gentlemen who talk but don't act, and of course are too lazy to move our legs. We would rather spend some money on phone calls than go out for a walk.
In our room, there is a guy named Li Lei, who found a job during the summer vacation as a programmer at a website. Yesterday when he went to work, someone called him and I answered the call. I said Li Lei wasn't here, and the caller asked if he had gone back to his hometown? I said no, and the caller said: "Then tell him that I am his classmate, please ask him to call me back when he returns. The phone number is ××××." I wrote it down (later I found out that it was actually the phone number of the dormitory across from ours, and we weren't very familiar with them).
When Li Lei came back in the evening, I told him about the call. He said it might be a high school classmate, so he dialed the number. Li Lei is from Shaanxi, as soon as the call was connected, he asked: "Is there anyone from Shaanxi there?" The person answering the call said: "There's none here, but there is one next door, wait a moment, let me call him..." Immediately, a shout was heard in the hallway: "Li Lei, come over and take the call, your fellow townsman!" Li Lei hesitated for a moment and said to our room's old third: "I'll go answer the call, you help me keep an eye on things here. If the line connects, just tell them I'll be back in a while." Li Lei went over, and old third picked up the phone. A few seconds later, the voice of "Hello, hello" was heard, and old third immediately said: "He's gone out, please wait a moment!" Then he opened the door and shouted: "Li Lei, the call has connected, hurry back." Li Lei waited for a while on the other side, and seeing no response, hung up. Back in the room, he took the phone from old third, only hearing the "beep beep" sound after the call was disconnected. "Strange!" He said unhappily: "Why didn't anyone answer?" Then he picked up the paper with the number written on it and dialed the number again: "Is there anyone from Shaanxi there...".
