Chapter 61
Jongin held out his hand and said, “I want the key.”
The dorm manager looked at him doubtfully, handed him the key and asked, "Do you remember what I just said?"
Jongin fiddled with the key and said, "Remember to return it when you leave."
The dormitory manager nodded: "Okay, remember to return the key to me when you leave. By the way, we have rules here, you can't mess around, otherwise the students here won't be able to rest well. The dormitory rules are at the door, you can just take a look when you enter, if you violate them, I will kick you out immediately, understand?"
Everyone nodded to show that they heard it.
The dormitory manager waved to them and said, "Okay, go up."
They live in room 14 on the fourth floor, house number 414.
Glasses frowned, and Basketball said in annoyance, "Why did he give us a room with this house number? Damn it. He didn't think we were easy to bully because there weren't many of us, did he? I want to argue with him! Why doesn't he live in this unlucky place? He must be torturing us on purpose."
Jongin opened the door without looking back and walked in. His glasses caught Basketball's eye. Basketball felt a little embarrassed and said angrily, "Damn it, there's not many people here, why is he pretending? Don't make me take the opportunity to embarrass him. This is too rude and he doesn't take me seriously."
The two entered the dormitory as if nothing had happened.
There is indeed a rule sign hanging on the dormitory door:
Classes end at 9:30, lights go out at 10:00, and students go to bed at 11:00 at the latest. Please turn off the lights after the bell rings and go to bed before 11:00.
Night is not the time to move around. Please lie down in bed and rest, no matter what you want to do.
Students get up at 6:30 in the morning, clean for half an hour, and leave the dormitory before 7:00. Please leave the dormitory before 7:00.
Students finish classes at 12 noon, have lunch at 1, and start classes at 2. Please enter the dormitory before 1 and leave before 2.
Keep quiet during lunch break
Special rules for lunch break:
The door cannot be closed
No books on the table
No one can sit on the stool
The bed cannot be used for lying down
No trash in the trash can
Toilet Can't go to the toilet
There is only cold water in the bathroom, please try not to take a shower
Can't wash hands in the sink
Basketball took a look and said angrily, "There are so many things to do."
Glasses said hesitantly: "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we live in someone else's dormitory. It's normal to have students here. They came earlier than us and have lived here longer. We can't just take care of us and ignore them. Those teachers are also theirs..."
Basketball was impatient: "Okay, I get it, stop talking. I'm already very annoyed, and you keep nagging me. It's even more annoying. Who can listen to me? The weather is so hot, and the rules don't say that we can't turn on the air conditioner. I want to turn it on, and I'll turn it on now. Hurry up. Go. Where is the air conditioner remote control?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and started looking around.
Jongin used the remote control to turn on the air conditioner. The wind from the air conditioner was blowing towards the basketball, who was looking down. He shivered and shouted, "Why is it so cold? Is this place haunted? Damn it! I told you not to come here. What if you move to another place? The dorm manager is just a dorm manager, not a police officer. Even if they are the police, they can't arrest all of us!"
Zhong Ren casually placed the remote control on the table.
Basketball and Glasses saw the remote control and started whispering to each other.
Jongin ignored them and lay down on the bed to rest.
Basketball muttered: "This person is so dirty. He didn't even take a shower after walking for a whole day."
The man with the glasses whispered, "It's better to say less. He seems like he might hit someone."
Basketball's eyes widened: "He can hit people, but I can't? He's already lying down, and you still think he can hit you. I'm standing here, why don't you think I will hit you? Shut up! You traitor. It's your turn to teach me a lesson? Humph. What the hell."
"Lights out. Lights out—"
There was a sound coming from the speaker inside the dormitory building.
The whispers outside quieted down, the door closed, and the lights were turned off.
Basketball was very confused, but he still turned off the light while swearing. He didn't plan to go to sleep, but went to wash up. He looked into the mirror and asked, "Why? You don't want to go? If you don't go, it will be so dirty. Maybe a ghost will knock you down at night."
The glasses shuddered: "I'll go."
After Glasses and Basketball washed up, they felt the water was getting colder. However, one of them wanted to go to the restroom and the other had to wash clothes, so they couldn't go to bed to rest immediately. They just looked at each other and prepared to go back to bed in the dormitory after solving their problems.
Basketball muttered, "It's still early. Lie down and rest. You're like a corpse."
Glasses was startled and whispered, "Let's just forget it! You don't have to be shy about it, but I do."
Basketball cursed: "Now that you have grown up, you can pick on me? Shut up!"
There was silence for a while.
After they dealt with the matter, they lay down on the bed, and the time came to exactly eleven point one second.
At 6:30 in the morning, the alarm clock rang. Neither Basketball nor Glasses wanted to get up, but Jongin did. He started to wash up, showered, washed his hair, and changed his clothes. He put his clothes in the washing machine, dried them in the dryer, and then put them on. It was 6:55 at this time.
Jongin was ready to leave. He walked to the door and was about to open it. He rubbed his eyes from the bed and got ready. He saw a person standing at the door and was startled. He shouted, "What are you doing!?"
Basketball was woken up by the noise and asked angrily, "What are you arguing about?"
The glasses said, "I see a man."
Jongin glanced at it, opened the door and walked out.
He closed the door after he walked out.
Glasses was embarrassed and still felt a little scared. Basketball was also a little scared, but he didn't want to show it. He said angrily, "What a bullshit! He's pretending like that. If something bad happened, he would be the first to die! We don't need to walk on the same road with him."
By the time they finished washing up, everyone in the dormitory had already left, and they left the dormitory gate at 7:20.
At noon, Basketball and Glasses were getting ready to eat. Seeing so many students, they were very unhappy and planned to go out for a walk before eating. Glasses came back with a bunch of things. Basketball walked in front of him, staggering, and said with a smile, "Ah, the food in the cafeteria must not taste good. I wonder if that dead face can still be a zombie after seeing these things."
Basketball deliberately asked Glasses to carry things with him and walk to Jongin. He didn't see Jongin in the cafeteria, but he saw Jongin leaning against the counter when he returned to the dormitory. A young student handed Jongin a washed red apple with a smile, nodded and said, "Don't be polite, big brother, it's your treat, take your time, I'll leave first, I have to take a nap."
Jongin nodded.
The student walked away with his back bent.
Basketball and Glasses were stunned. Basketball reacted and said angrily, "Impossible! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How can a pretty boy like him let others recognize him as the boss? Are those people blind? I am such a big, strong man, but they don't recognize me as the boss, but recognize him? I don't accept it!"
Jongin took a bite of the apple without even looking at him, and the meaning was very clear: it’s useless even if you don’t accept it, because this matter has nothing to do with you anyway.
Basketball snorted, unpacked the snacks, and said to Glasses, "Sit down and eat. Didn't we not eat? There is a water dispenser here, so why not use it? Anyway, the rules don't say that you are not allowed to drink water from the dispenser."
The glasses smiled and nodded: "Yes."
The two of them started to crunch their food, intentionally trying to eat better, more deliciously, and happier than Jongin. While eating, they watched Jongin's expression, trying to see his jealous expression, but they didn't.
Jongin paid them no attention.
The door was open. Basketball was eating snacks. Before entering, he saw the door and thought that Jongin had left it for them. Now, he suddenly felt annoyed by the door and said to Glasses, "Go, close the door!"
The glasses nodded.
Jongin reminded them, “The rules say not to close the door during lunch break.”
When Basketball heard him say that, he got angry: "Close the door! Close the door! Don't be afraid, Glasses, I'll support you, he won't dare to hit you."
Glasses looked at Jongin guiltily, nodded, and went over to close the door.
Jongin said nothing more.
There were footsteps outside. The student saw the door was closed and came over to knock on it and asked, "What are you doing? Open the door! Don't you know the rules for lunch break here? You can't close the door during lunch break! Hurry up, open the door! Hurry up!"
Basketball said angrily, "No! We are not students of this school, we won't open the door! You guys go away!"
The knocks on the door were getting louder and louder. Yanjing was a little scared. He wiped his sweat and asked, "How about we open the door? If they knock so hard, we will be left without a door at night. It's so unsafe."
Basketball said angrily: "No!"
Jongin was still chewing the red apple.
The door was forced open with a bang by someone outside.
There was a loud bang, and the door panel fell to the ground, completely broken.
Glasses turned pale with fright, and Basketball also realized belatedly that this was more than just a violation of one rule. His face turned blue, and he glanced at Jongin, feeling that he had lost face.
The person outside the door took a quick look inside the room, looked into his glasses, and said word by word: "Don't close the door!"
Glasses nodded repeatedly.
The person outside the door left, and came back after a while, scanned the room, and pointed out what was wrong one by one: "There can't be trash in the trash can, you can't lie on the bed, you can't sit on the stool, you can't wash your hands in the sink, you can't go to the toilet..."
Basketball could no longer bear it and was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? You can't do this or that. What can you do? Are we here to go to jail? Prisoners don't behave like this! Don't push your luck. I've been putting up with you for a long time!"
The people outside the door looked at him and said, "Follow the rules. Do you know what happens to people who don't follow the rules?"
