Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Maybe you can come to my dormitory
At the tail end of June, the sophomore class of Yuelan High School took their final exam of the semester. With the exams over, the students were about to embark on their long-awaited summer vacation.
Of course, art students are excluded.
After the English test, the students in the cultural class left the school happily, while several students in the art class leaned against the window, staring at each other.
I don’t know what Yuelan High School and the Painting School were thinking this year. After the exam the day before, they started training the next day, not giving them any rest time.
"You're crazy! In previous years, we were given a few days' break, but this year, we didn't even get half a day off. Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't do that."
"Although, will painting for a few more days really be useful? I'll ask for our vacation time back."
"The sky is falling! I had plans with my best friend to go out, but I'm going to stand her up this time."
“…”
Pei Shuyu concentrated intently on holding the tablet, sliding the CNC pen across the screen, blocking out the distractions of the outside world.
Hua Yu chatted with the people in the rows in front and behind her about their opinions on holiday arrangements for art students. When she didn't hear Pei Shuyu express her opinion, she stuck her head out.
On the screen, the two little figures sitting in front and behind each other were lifelike. Under Pei Shuyu's control, the characters rotated from time to time, and the CNC pen moved across them, filling the image more fully.
When turning to the front, Hua Yu discovered that the facial features of the two little men had not yet been refined and still retained their initial appearance.
The frustration of not having a holiday was temporarily relieved, and Hua Yu asked in surprise: "Are you... modeling?"
Pei Shuyu pressed a button, and the screen went dark. He placed the CNC pen into the corresponding groove and said "hmm" perfunctorily, not wanting to say more. "What are you discussing? It's so noisy."
Hua Yu's anger returned after she said that. She pounded the table and said, "Just now, the class teacher came over and said that the training will start tomorrow and asked us to prepare tonight. Tell me, is there something wrong with this? She really doesn't treat students as human beings..."
Pei Shuyu was forced to listen to Hua Yu's complaints. The more he listened, the colder his heart became, and the more frightened he became.
This grade group is crazy.
Hua Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "No, we plan to pester Sister Ban and have a good talk tonight."
Thinking of something, Hua Yu turned his back to Pei Shuyu and secretly opened the group chat of "Dinner Team".
Qi Ying has already sent the latest developments to the group.
Qi Ying: [The art class will start training tomorrow.]
Ji Yan: [Okay, I understand. Thank you.]
Hua Yu turned to look at Pei Shuyu and asked casually, "Have you told Ji Yan?"
Pei Shuyu was sending a message to Ji Yan: "Just said."
Hua Yu said "Oh" and said, "Then you will have to separate for training."
Pei Shuyu gave her a strange look and said, "Why did we break up? She agreed to accompany me during the training camp."
Hua Yu silently sent a message to Qi Ying: [Dinner progress +20%]
Judging from this progress, I should be able to eat openly after the training camp is over.
*
There were only a few classes of art students left on campus tonight. The teachers understood the hardship they would face in training tomorrow, so they showed a movie in the classroom during evening study.
Pei Shuyu grabbed the sleeve of the person next to her, looking at the screen, wanting to look but not daring to.
The pitch-black scene, the looming figures, and the eerie music create a terrifying atmosphere to the fullest.
Startled again by the close-up scene, Pei Shuyu hugged the man's arms even tighter: "Who on earth voted to watch a horror movie?"
Ji Yan's arm was pulled: "You cast a vote."
Pei Shuyu: "...I'm out of my mind."
You shouldn't be looking for so-called excitement.
She caught a glimpse of Hua Yu and Qi Ying gathered in the aisle. Because of Ji Yan's arrival, Hua Yu gave up his seat.
Now, the two of them are getting together, and they can actually talk and laugh while watching this type of movie.
Especially every time I saw her and Ji Yan, I seemed to laugh even louder.
Pei Shuyu suspected that the two men were mocking his cowardice.
Ji Yan whispered, "Are you scared? You can come closer to me."
Pei Shuyu was concerned about his own face. He felt the two pairs of eyes staring at him from behind. He swallowed hard and said, "I'm not afraid."
She let go of Ji Yan and opened a bag of potato chips and put it into her mouth expressionlessly.
"Oh, oh, oh, let go." Qi Ying whispered.
Hua Yu whispered even more quietly: "It's okay, I've seen this movie. There are a few sudden scary scenes at the end. Pei Shuyu couldn't stand that kind of shock."
It’s not that Pei Shuyu is timid, but when a person is not on guard and faces a sudden surge of fear, his heart will uncontrollably tremble.
The subsequent plot transitioned smoothly. Pei Shuyu's nerves were tense, and her ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. She had no appetite at all. In the darkness, she used her body to cover her eyes and tightly grasped Ji Yan's clothes.
Suddenly, everything went dark before my eyes.
It was Ji Yan who covered her eyes.
The next second, cries of fear pierced the eardrums.
Pei Shuyu's heartbeat began to vibrate violently, knowing that a scary scene had occurred.
The warmth from his eyes penetrated her skin, nipping her fear in the bud.
Soon, the hand that was blocking the view dropped.
Pei Shuyu licked her lips: "Have you seen this movie?"
Ji Yan's profile was illuminated by the light from the screen, but most of it was still dark, and only the outline could be seen clearly: "I haven't seen it."
She kneaded her fingertips and said slowly, "I guessed it based on the plot. Most horror movies use this tactic."
Pei Shuyu said silently: "Even watching a movie requires you to follow a formula."
Ji Yan smiled and said, "Not everything can be fitted into a formula."
The following scenes were all like this. Once there was any sign of it happening, Ji Yan would immediately cover Pei Shuyu's eyes.
After watching the two-hour movie, Pei Shuyu couldn't remember how many times her eyes were covered, she only knew that the faint fragrance was lingering in her nose.
Even at the end of the movie, she didn't have the energy to pay attention to what the movie specifically showed or what the scary scenes were.
She wondered if the orange scent on Ji Yan's wrist was because she had switched to the same hand soap or facial cleanser as hers.
The lights in the classroom came on, and the students gathered in various places in the classroom showed no intention of returning to their seats.
When the class teacher is not in the class, the students become much more unrestrained.
A few people casually placed their mobile phones on the table and played games.
The class monitor selected a comedy movie as background music at the podium.
Pei Shuyu tucked the tablet away from the desk, thinking of the message Ruan Zhuangjing had sent her before evening self-study: "My mom asked me what my summer vacation plans were. She probably asked you too, right? What did you say?"
Ji Yan raised her eyelids calmly: "Well, I said stay in school."
Pei Shuyu suppressed the urge to do so and pursed her lips tightly, "Oh, that's all I said."
Ji Yan asked back, "What else is there to say?"
Pei Shuyu shrugged and whispered in the noisy environment, "You said you wanted to accompany me for training, so you stayed in school."
Ji Yan lowered her eyes: "Next time, Godmother asks, I will answer like this."
"The class teacher is here, the class teacher is here." The people sitting in the back gave an advance warning.
In an instant, the noisy classroom returned to silence, and all the cell phones and novels that were openly displayed were taken away.
"We're in a group fight, and now we're going to be reported."
Before the class teacher entered the classroom, someone whispered something.
Li Ran stood at the back door for a while. She couldn't help but shake her head at the way the students were pretending to be good.
I could hear the noise as I came out of the office. These students never behaved so well.
But after all, she was willing to do superficial work, and the school's arrangement this time was indeed unreasonable. Knowing that the students were angry, she walked slowly into the classroom.
After walking around the classroom, Ji Yan's appearance did not escape her attention. She asked a few questions in a low voice and then said nothing more.
Li Ran walked to the podium, paused the comedy, and placed his hands on the desk. He paused and said, "Training will start tomorrow."
There was a sudden howling of ghosts and wolves below.
Li Ran raised his hand and said, "I know you don't want to do this, but there's nothing I can do. This is what the higher-ups require."
There were a few complaints, and when it quieted down, Li Ran continued, "8:00 AM to 11:30 AM, 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, and 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. These are your daily training times, and you'll have one day off on Sunday."
As soon as the schedule came out, the classroom became quiet for a moment, and someone began to calculate how many hours they would have to draw in a day.
"Nine and a half hours a day." Someone cried out in toothache.
Before more students could speak, Li Ran said, "Alright, be quiet. Go back home and get some rest tonight and prepare for the training camp."
Fearing that he would be grabbed by the students, Li Ran said this and left.
There was also noise coming from the class next door.
I guess they received similar news.
Pei Shuyu pulled the tablet out of the hole in the table and said to Ji Yan, "Let's go."
The campus was quiet, there were fewer students, and the number of street lights on had also decreased.
The supermarket on campus was still open, so Pei Shuyu bought a few bottles of water and some ready-to-eat meals.
When they came out of the supermarket, some of the art students outside came in one after another.
Pei Shuyu pulled Ji Yan back along the path. Halfway through, she suddenly frowned and asked, "Are there any other girls in your class staying in school?"
Ji Yan said: "No."
Pei Shuyu frowned even more tightly: "So you're the only one in your dormitory?"
Ji Yan: “Yeah.”
I almost forgot, except for art students, few other high school students choose to stay on campus during winter and summer vacations.
Doesn’t that mean Ji Yan is the only one in her dormitory?
It would probably be very scary to be alone, and he also watched a horror movie tonight. To be honest, if Pei Shuyu were left alone in the dormitory tonight, he would probably not dare to do it.
Ji Yan came here to accompany her, so of course she had to take care of Ji Yan's emotions.
Pei Shuyu nodded secretly and came up with a solution: "How about this, you sleep in my dormitory tonight."
It’s a single bed in the dormitory, but it’s more than enough for two girls.
Ji Yan didn't say anything, as if she was considering the feasibility.
Pei Shuyu continued, "It's okay. My roommates are all very nice people, and you know two of them. Hua Yu and Qi Ying."
During the training period, all day students must live on campus.
Ji Yan kicked the gravel at his feet and replied, "Okay."
When Hua Yu and Qi Ying returned to the dormitory, they were not surprised to see Ji Yan next to Pei Shuyu's bed.
The two of them winked at Ji Yan calmly.
Ji Yan nodded politely and turned away.
Pei Shuyu had just finished taking a shower and handed the water card to Ji Yan. Then he said to the two of them, "Ji Yan, please stay with us tonight."
Ji Yan paused for a moment as she collected the card, then said naturally, "Maybe you can go to my dorm."
Pei Shuyu thought about it and realized that she was the only one in Ji Yan's dormitory, so it would be okay for her to move there during the summer training.
She agreed: "Okay."
