Chapter 6: Who locked you in the toilet?
"With whom?"
Song Lehan asked back, not understanding what he meant.
Xu Jiangcuo stood there, silent, and left.
Later, when Song Lehan was lying on the bed and preparing to fall asleep, she realized that Xu Jiangcuo mistakenly thought that she was with Jiang Yue.
Tomorrow, she must go and explain it in detail.
The first day of official filming.
At five o'clock in the morning, the sound of crisp whistles lingered downstairs of the dormitory building, one after another, beating on the sleeping people like waves.
"Oh—who's blowing the whistle?"
"What time is it now? Are you annoying?"
"Can't you let me sleep?"
It was obvious that everyone had not yet entered the training state and was very dissatisfied with the disturbing whistle.
The instructor's voice came from downstairs.
"Everyone, gather at the playground at 5:30 sharp! Latecomers will have to run extra time!"
After a few seconds, there was a knock on the door.
"Everyone, hurry up and get up! Otherwise, we won't be able to shoot!"
Someone from the program crew came over to urge us.
It was only at this time that people in the dormitory began to move.
Song Lehan yawned, got up like everyone else, put on his military training uniform, picked up the basin and went out to wash.
As soon as she opened the door, the people in the dormitory went out before her, and Song Lehan was squeezed to the back.
The public washbasin was not big, and when Song Lehan rushed over, there was no seat for her.
To save time, she put down the basin and went to the toilet first.
She didn't sleep well last night. She kept dreaming and woke up from time to time. When she woke up, she was completely groggy.
Get up, flush the toilet, and open the door.
Song Lehan was stunned.
The door won't open.
Song Lehan pushed hard and even kicked the door, but it showed no sign of opening.
"Hello! Is there anyone outside?" she knocked on the door and shouted.
No one responded.
"Is anyone there? Can you open the door for me?!"
She didn't give up and shouted again.
Still no one answered.
Locked in a small cubicle, Song Lehan felt desperate. She looked at the door lock and began to smash it hard.
"Hey, I heard this show involves cutting hair?"
"Really? Isn't this just a disguised way of chasing people away?"
"Yeah, you didn't tell us before coming. I'm speechless!"
The voice gradually became louder, and Song Lehan's eyes lit up.
"Hello, hello! I'm locked in the bathroom. Can you help me open the door?"
After the words were spoken, silence filled the air.
"Are you still there?" Song Lehan asked expectantly.
After a flushing sound, someone answered her.
"I'm sorry, we really can't help you."
"Oh, why are you telling her this?! Hurry up, hurry up, we're going to be late!"
The sound was gone again.
Song Lehan completely gave up.
She had just started training and someone was already doing this to her.
I really can’t wait!
Song Lehan leaned against the wall and saw a piece of windowsill exposed by the window in his peripheral vision, and an idea flashed in his mind.
——
Song Lehan was the last one to arrive at the playground.
She was undoubtedly late.
He was the only one who was late among all the people present.
"You, stand aside. Someone will watch you run faster." The instructor directed Song Lehan, turned around and started running exercises with the large group.
Song Lehan stood in the designated position with the camera right in front of her, directly capturing her helplessness in the program.
She clutched her trouser line tightly with both hands and stared at the director behind the camera.
"I was locked in the bathroom." Song Lehan defended himself, "That's why I was late. If you don't believe me, you can watch the video replay."
There are cameras placed in every corner of the dormitory. Just check the records and you will know who locked her in the toilet.
But the program team will not do that.
Silence means rejection.
Song Lehan nodded and yelled angrily, "Okay! I get it!"
She turned around and tried to leave angrily.
My hand was suddenly grabbed from behind. I heard Xu Jiangcuo's voice in my ears.
"The chief instructor asked me to take you."
Song Lehan was stunned.
Why him?
Why did Xu Jiangcuo come when he was most likely to be scolded?!
If I get angry at him, won't it be even more impossible to win his heart back?!
Faced with a dilemma, Song Lehan made up his mind.
My image won’t improve anyway, so I might as well reveal now that I’m a bad woman who seduced the instructor!
Song Lehan turned around, shook Xu Jiangcuo's hand with his backhand, and smiled, "Acuo! Good morning!"
She leaned forward and teased him with a wicked smile: "Did you miss me after not seeing you for a night?"
Xu Jiangcuo pulled his hand away and took a step back. His expression remained unchanged, as if he had not heard her at all.
Song Lehan thought he was too shy to answer, so she continued to tease him: "I had a very magical dream last night. Do you want to know?"
"I don't want to." Xu Jiangcuo finally spoke.
Seeing him so indifferent, Song Lehan changed her previous sweetness, curled her lips, and said aggrievedly: "Acuo, when I went to the toilet this morning, I was locked in."
She observed Xu Jiangcuo's expression and continued to complain, "I don't know which bad guy did this on purpose, causing me to be late and run as punishment."
Xu Jiangcuo glanced at her sideways with a cold expression, "Being late is a fact, stop making excuses."
He didn't believe her.
"I'm telling the truth!" Song Lehan puffed up her cheeks and pretended to be cute. "I couldn't open the door at all! If I hadn't been smart enough to climb up the windowsill and jump out, I'd still be trapped in the bathroom!"
Song Lehan glanced towards the camera, then leaned towards Xu Jiangcuo, his voice sounding pitiful.
"I fell when I jumped." As she said this, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a piece of her fair and tender forearm with a purple spot on it that was particularly conspicuous.
"Look! I've got purple spots here!" Song Lehan's tone was soft and a bit coquettish.
Xu Jiangcuo looked over again in disbelief, and when he saw the forearm, his Adam's apple rolled.
His eyes began to become unnatural, and his mind couldn't help but recall the past.
Stop!
Xu Jiangcuo reminded himself secretly, quickly looked away, and cleared his throat, "Yeah, I saw it."
Still cold.
Loud slogans rang out on the playground.
Xu Jiangcuo reminded him, "Let's go! If the instructor sees you still standing here, he might ask you to run a few more laps."
Song Lehan accepted her fate, but she never forgot her image as a lively and cheerful ex-girlfriend.
She stood up seriously and saluted Xu Jiangcuo, "Yes! Instructor!"
After saying that, Song Lehan smiled mischievously.
Looking at her heartless appearance, Xu Jiangcuo felt as if he had returned to the past.
In front of him, Song Lehan always had a smile on his face and seemed to have no worries.
He used to think that this was her personality. Until the day they broke up, he saw Song Lehan's cold face, which was very unfamiliar.
At that moment, Xu Jiangcuo suddenly realized that he seemed to have never really understood her.
