The Silent and Eerie School (15)

The two people outside the door seemed to have a premonition, and returned to their own beds a moment before Li Su turned around, as if the people who had been standing at the door and peeping were not them at all.

However, their rapid breathing and flushed ears betrayed them mercilessly.

A soft call came from the direction of the bathroom.

"Qi, Qi Zui, do you have a towel? I forgot to bring it..."

The two people in the dormitory immediately stood up and picked up their towels from their beds.

Qi glanced at Qi Ye with displeasure and said in a low voice, "Su Su called my name."

Qi Ye clenched his back teeth, his unwilling eyes fixed on Qi Zui, watching the person who looked exactly like him walk triumphantly towards the bathroom.

"Yes, Su Su, open the door." Qi Zui's voice was clear and steady, but the surging infatuation in his eyes was increasingly frightening.

"Clatter—"

The bathroom door was opened a crack.

The humid, hot air, carrying a rich aroma, wafted over, causing the veins on Qi Zui's forehead to throb faintly.

A fair, damp arm, as if shy, hesitated for a few seconds before tremblingly peeking out from behind the bathroom door, like a lost lamb, making a couple of tentative grasping motions in the air, but still failing to get what it wanted.

Hasn't it been brought over yet?

Li Su called out uncertainly, "Qi Zui?"

Qi's darkest eyes were fixed on that fair arm. His Adam's apple bobbed before he responded softly, "Mm."

Holding the towel, Qi Zui placed his entire hand into Li Su's palm. Only after feeling the warmth did he reluctantly turn his palm over and hand the towel to Li Su.

All the actions happened in an instant, and the innocent little lamb didn't notice anything amiss.

After receiving the towel, Li Su thanked her cheerfully, "Thank you."

“Clatter.”

The bathroom door was closed again.

The disturbing fragrance instantly diminished, becoming almost impossible to detect with the nose.

Fearing that the sticky, damp discomfort would return, Li Su quickly wiped the water off her body with a towel and put her school uniform back on.

As soon as Li Su opened the door, he saw two people sitting face to face looking at him.

Li Su paused for a moment, trying to ignore the strange atmosphere, and sat down on the edge of her bed.

The hair, which was originally only slightly curly, became even more curly after being wet, with strands sticking to the boy's smooth and full forehead.

A round, translucent water droplet slowly slid down from the back of Li Su's head, leaving a damp mist on her fair neck.

Bewitched by the water droplet, Qi Zui unknowingly placed his fingers on the back of Li Su's neck.

The sudden warmth from the touch on the back of her neck made Li Su tremble slightly.

Li Su turned around, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Qi Zui's index finger hadn't even had time to retract, or perhaps he forgot to retract it, and at this moment, because of Li Su's turning around, it was pointing at his chin.

The area still had a slight reddish tinge, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding fair skin.

Qi Zui's gaze lingered on that spot for a few seconds before he looked away with difficulty, as if recalling some extremely wonderful feeling. He subconsciously licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, my hair is still wet."

Li Su raised her hand and touched the still dripping ends of her hair, saying nonchalantly, "It's okay, it'll dry in a bit."

Qi also sat up abruptly from the bed opposite him, his tone serious: "No, you'll get sick."

Li Su looked up in Qi Ye's direction and blinked twice slowly, as if in slow motion.

It doesn't seem... that serious, does it?

Qi Ye took a hair dryer from the drawer without saying a word and walked to Li Su's bedside.

As Qi plugged the hairdryer into the socket, he said, "I'll help you dry your hair."

"Hahahaha... I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing."

"So this is what it's like to watch men act. It's so interesting."

"Where can I buy a roommate with such a strong service mentality? I want one too!"

"Hilarious! If I hadn't actually lived in a dormitory, I almost would have believed it."

"Baby, you're a little lamb that's been completely fooled."

A question slowly formed in Li Su's mind: Do the male students in the dormitory help each other blow-dry their hair?

Something feels off.

Li Su pursed her lips, but still declined, "Thank you, but... I can do it myself."

"I'll do it. It's inconvenient for you to blow-dry the back of your hair." Qi paused, realizing her tone might have sounded a bit too eager, and added, "Okay?"

Her roommate's attitude was so kind that Li Su felt embarrassed to refuse her, so she nodded and said, "Okay..."

"Hmm!" Qi Ye narrowed his eyes instantly, like a cat that had just stolen some cream.

"call----"

The sound of a hairdryer filled the dormitory room.

Qi also ran his fingers through Li Su's soft hair and gently stroked it.

Will it hurt?

"??? Something's not right with you."

"It's just blow-drying my hair, it's really just blow-drying my hair!!!"

"Family members, I'm changing color first, hehehehe..."

"Those who don't know better might think you're just spouting nonsense (those who know, know)."

"You'd better be blow-drying your hair."

"Oh, what a terrible conversation."

Li Su was completely unaware, and instead squinted her eyes comfortably, "It doesn't hurt, it feels very comfortable."

Qi Ye's movements were very gentle, and the speed and temperature of the hair dryer were just right. Her scalp was gently massaged by her soft fingertips, and her tense nerves were soothed.

"Baby, this conversation is getting worse."

"Aaaaaah! Let out a scream!"

"Can you check for me? Am I still white?"

Another gaze seemed out of place in the warm atmosphere.

Qi Ye glanced provocatively at Qi Zui, who was staring at him with a gloomy expression, deliberately ignoring his gaze and focusing all his attention on Li Su.

As the water-soaked hair gradually dried, the sound of the hairdryer slowly stopped. Qi felt the soft hair under his hand and reluctantly withdrew his hand.

"Hmm..." Qi Ye's movements were very gentle. Li Su was almost asleep and couldn't help but yawn.

Her round eyes instantly welled up with tears, making them appear moist and clear. Li Su blinked hard to suppress the moisture in her eyes and thanked Qi Ye, saying, "Thank you."

Li Su already had a lot of hair, but now it looks even more after being blown by a hairdryer, with a few unruly tufts of hair sticking up on her head.

Qi couldn't help but reach out and rub it, a smile spreading across his lips: "You're welcome."

"Want to go to sleep?" Qi, who had been ignored by the two of them, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Although she was very sleepy, Li Su still remembered the conversation she overheard between Huang Chenchuan and the NPC classmate earlier that day. She patted her cheeks to chase away the drowsiness.

"I can't sleep. I still need to go to the school history museum tonight. Maybe there are the files the NPC mentioned there."

Suddenly, all the lights in the dormitory went out, and even the moon outside the window didn't emit a single ray of light.

"Anyone still awake? Everyone, get to sleep!"

A deep male voice came from outside the dormitory door, followed by a blinding flash of light through the window.

"Shh, lie down and go to sleep quickly." Qi Ye said behind Li Su before quickly returning to his own bed.

Li Su immediately crawled into bed.

The footsteps outside the door grew clearer, and the light from a flashlight shone into the room.

"Are they all asleep?" Li Su held her breath, feeling the blinding light shining on her face.

The security guard outside the window had his eyes pressed tightly against the glass, his completely black pupils staring intently into the dormitory, repeatedly saying, "You all better get some sleep!"

The white light disappeared, and Li Su breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she heard the sound of a lock being opened at the door.

Do we need to come in and inspect again?

What kind of insane school is this?

Li Su didn't dare to breathe, holding her breath and closing her eyes tightly.

The cool breath had already landed on his face.

It's so cold.

Li Su tried hard to control her muscles and prevent her eyelids from twitching, but it seemed impossible for her to do so completely.

After a moment's pause, he withdrew, followed by the sound of the door closing and the heavy footsteps fading into the distance.

Li Su gasped for breath.

The management of this school is far too abnormal; Li Su cannot understand it.

Hearing rustling sounds, Qi Zui and Qi Ye got out of bed and came over.

Let's go.

"Huh?" Li Su was taken aback and quickly opened her eyes, asking, "Where to?"

Qi Zui smiled and said, "Didn't Su Su want to go to the school history museum?"

"Ah..." Li Su sat up quickly, a little scared, "It looks like there's a security guard patrolling..."

"Okay." Qi nodded and said, "So the two of us will go with you."

Li Su quickly got out of bed; it's always better to have someone with you than to be alone.

After taking only two steps, Li Su felt herself step on something and stopped abruptly. "Excuse me, I think I stepped on someone's foot..."

In the darkness, Qi Zui smiled and said in a clear, gentle voice, "It's alright, shall I hold your hand?"

"My night vision is pretty good," Qi Zui added.

"Mmm." Li Su nodded quickly; it was so dark that he really couldn't see anything.

Darkness always amplifies fear. Li Su felt as if something was watching him from behind, and the dark, giant snake from his afternoon dream inappropriately resurfaced in his mind.

Suddenly, her fingertips were touched by something rough, and Li Su instantly felt her legs go weak, her eyes reddened, and she instinctively closed them tightly.

"Be careful." Qi Ye caught Li Su's slender waist just in time from behind, preventing him from falling.

Still shaken, Li Su's voice trembled as she said, "Thank you."

Qi Zui, seemingly unwilling to be ignored, precisely grasped Li Su's left hand: "Don't be afraid, hold me tight."

"Mmm." Li Su didn't care about anything else, she tightly gripped the hand in her palm, as if she had grasped a lifeline.

"Tsk tsk, I saw it, someone deliberately touched the baby's hand with their sleeve."

"Oh dear, how can I win my wife's hand without using some tricks?"

"They know how to compete and grab."

"SuSu is like a sandwich filling!"

Outside the dormitory, Li Su opened her eyes, but all she could see was darkness.

The security guard who had just left their dormitory had vanished without a trace, like a ghost, leaving the entire corridor empty.
