"An outbreak has occurred at a kindergarten in Ryukawa Ward, Asatsu City. The higher-ups have arranged for all students in the city to leave school at staggered times starting tomorrow. I have a meeting to attend, so I can't talk to you anymore. Remember to wait in the classroom. A teacher will come to find you later."

After listening, Chen Bing repeatedly agreed and then ended the call with Shang Zhengxin.

Looking up at the somewhat cute girl, I saw that her baby face was filled with surprise and delight, clearly having learned what had happened from the phone call.

No, you're such a studious person, why are you so happy to hear that you're going home?

After mentally complaining for a moment, Chen Bing thought that whether or not the questions were explained was no longer important, so she turned to look at Shang Yunmiao beside her.

This naive little girl had been studying quite diligently, only vaguely knowing that Chen Bing had just been on the phone with her father, but she hadn't paid attention to the specific content.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Shang Yunmiao's question, the third person quickly explained to her, reacting even faster than Chen Bing.

After hearing the general description of what had just happened, Shang Yunmiao was first a little surprised, and then became shy.

Could it be that I'm going to be sleeping at school with Chen Bing tonight?

Please note that this is "sleep together at school", not "sleep together at school". The word order is important.

The moment this foolish thought popped into Shang Yunmiao's mind, she rejected it.

How could that be! What are you thinking! Ugh, shameless.

After dismissing that thought, Shang Yunmiao, with a slight surprise, continued chatting with the girl for a few more minutes.

"I need to go back to the dorm and tell others about this good news." Seeing that it was getting late and the lights would be turned off soon, the third student got up, waved goodbye to Shang Yunmiao and Chen Bing, and then picked up his things and left the classroom.

After she left, perhaps out of boredom, or perhaps because she felt a little embarrassed constantly referring to her as "third place," Chen Bing asked Shang Yunmiao, "What was that girl's name?"

"Huh?" Xiao Shang was puzzled for a moment, then answered honestly, "Her name is Cao Siying."

After giving an OK sign, Chen Bing didn't say anything more, and Xiao Shang quietly stayed by his side.

The girl's good point was that she was completely unfazed by his sudden inquiry about another girl's name. She neither got jealous and asked why he had asked, nor did she become upset and wait for him to coax her. She simply answered whatever he asked, and her obedient and well-behaved manner was hard not to like.

Xiao Shang: (●'?'●)

On the other hand, Xiao Shang wasn't as indifferent as Chen Bing thought. However, this wasn't a bad thing. Because she was actually happy about it.

Wow, such a beautiful girl, and Chen Bing doesn't even know her name! It's clear he only has eyes for me. That's what's great about Chen Bing; I never worry that someone as outstanding and popular as him will stray. We two are truly the best of friends.

The two were secretly happy for each other, and their joy led them to slowly move closer together until they were doing their homework shoulder to shoulder when a teacher saw them and stopped them from getting closer.

After slowly pulling herself back, Chen Bing saw the teacher who had caught her and Shang Yunmiao being intimate. As she walked into the classroom, she smiled and waved to the two of them, signaling them to come over.

Chen Bing thought that this must be the teacher arranged by her father-in-law, so she and Shang Yunmiao got up and followed the other party towards the dormitory building.

On the way, the dark-skinned teacher would occasionally strike up a conversation with the two about Shang Zhengxin and their grades, his words filled with politeness.

Upon arriving at the girls' dormitory, he handed Shang Yunmiao over to a dormitory supervisor who had been waiting there, and then led Chen Bing toward the boys' dormitory.

Chen Bing, who thought she was going to live with strangers, was led by Teacher Hei Pi to a vacant single room belonging to the dormitory supervisor, and was given brand new toothpaste, toothbrush and other items.

I'm a little curious about where they got these things, but that shouldn't be important.

It was already lights out time, and apart from Chen Bing's single room, everyone else's rooms were dimly lit.

After Teacher Hei Pi left, sounds suddenly came from these previously quiet rooms.

Immediately afterwards, two or three boys wearing only underwear poked their heads out of the dormitory and looked at Chen Bing.

"Woqu! Ice!"

After exclaiming in surprise, the boys chattered and retreated back into their dorm rooms to tell their roommates about their discovery.

Soon, the entire floor became lively, with everyone rushing out to watch as if they were observing some rare animal.

"Woqu, Ice God, how did you end up here instead of in your luxury private room?"

What luxury single room? I've never heard of that.

Chen Bing, who suspected that some teachers might be spreading rumors about her, didn't explain. She just smiled and greeted the unfamiliar classmates.

With mixed feelings, these people also raised their hands to greet this campus celebrity.

It's hard for Chen Bing to describe what it's like to be surrounded by a group of boys dressed in various colors of bitter tea at the dormitory. She can only say that she doesn't want to experience it a second time.

Fortunately, it was bedtime, and since everyone didn't have much in common with Chen Bing, who seemed rather aloof, they dispersed after watching for only a minute or two.

Some went back to their dorms to sleep and chat, some went to the toilet to secretly relieve themselves, and others continued their unfinished washing up by the sink.

Everything was proceeding smoothly after lights out, but everyone scattered like birds when the teacher arrived. Now that the teacher is gone, things have naturally returned to normal.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Chen Bing felt a little emotional, and then went to her small private room to sleep after washing up.

Oh? There's a power strip here? Too bad I didn't bring my charging cable.

Speaking of which, what is Xiao Shang doing now? I wish she had her phone with her too, so I could video call her.

Imagine how exciting it would be for a high school student to talk on the phone late at night with their girlfriend who was sleeping in the girls' dormitory.

After indulging in this fantasy for a while, Chen Bing withdrew from her lewd daydreams, then turned over and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling while thinking about things related to the pandemic, the college entrance examination, the Olympiad, studying, and Shang Yunmiao.

Chen Bing isn't someone who has trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds, but for some reason, she's having trouble sleeping tonight.

Maybe I'm overthinking things.

After reaching this conclusion, Chen Bing forced herself to clear her mind and not think about anything else.

After doing this, he quickly fell asleep.

In her sleep, Chen Bing had a rather strange dream.
