Chapter 27: The Party's Solo Battle (End)

  Everyone bowed and said, "Thank you, Captain Xie! Please speak!"

  Xie Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Stop messing around. He Yu, do you know what time it is now? At this hour... Ye Fei and He Chengyi just arrived a few days ago, they don't know any better, but you're still stirring up trouble. If you get caught, you'll be done for."

  "This is getting more and more like heading to the battlefield, I said: "Xie Fan senior, what's wrong? Is North Yang High School haunted?" Cheng Yi grabbed my arm, her big eyes scanning around, the lights in the corridor were pitch black, looking very eerie.

  "Stop scaring yourself, this school isn't haunted. What I'm saying is that we should be quiet when going downstairs, first to avoid disturbing others who are sleeping, and secondly, the most important point, not getting caught by those checking dorms, got it?"

  Me: "So it's to prevent being caught by the dorm inspectors, Xie Fan senior. What if we get caught?" He Yu: "No way out." Seeing us about to make another ruckus, Xie Fan stopped us: "Don't make a fuss, let's go downstairs. Remember, be quiet and don't make any noise. If you see someone, it's not a ghost, but the dorm inspector. We need to rely on heaven, earth, human and harmony to sneak past them. Got it?"

  Xie Fan, you must have also been 'corrupted' by Chen Yu and Yang Xu!

  Everyone walked downstairs, and Chen Yu and Yang Xu's voices came from downstairs: "Xie Fan, seniors, Chen Yu and Yang Xu have completely violated the two things you just said. They are still fine now, and we seem to be making a big deal out of nothing like four 'night owls'."

  Xie Fan rubbed his glasses: "Listen to what I'm saying, they're fine now, you take another look later."

  We continued to walk downstairs with our toes first, Chen Yu suddenly let out a loud shout, and all the lights in the corridor were turned on. Finally, some students couldn't bear it anymore, a pillow flew straight from upstairs to downstairs, "Damn! What's going on so late!"

  Xie Fan rubbed his glasses: "I was right, wasn't I? The good show is yet to come."

  Xie Fan, you absolutely brought us out to watch a show, what you just said about going out to find Chen Yu is all fake, I'm definitely not wrong!

  It wasn't just Chen Yu, Yang Xu also started calling out, and after a while the two of them finally quieted down, to the point where it could even be said that they were unusually quiet.

  Me: "I guess we were caught by the dorm inspectors." Xie Fan nodded: "Let's go slowly and be careful, I think the inspectors are just downstairs." Cheng Yi grabbed my arm, looking a bit scared. He Yu said: "Don't be afraid, Cheng Yi, if anything happens, we'll take responsibility."

  We're not here to steal! He Yu, what are you talking about?!

  Four "night owls" tiptoed down to the bottom floor without making a sound, where there was a small pavilion for cooling off. Inside the pavilion were three people with their backs to us: Chen Yu and Yang Xu, as well as someone I didn't recognize. I whispered, "Xie Fan, is that person checking our dorm?"

  Xie Fan: "Not clear, let's be careful, remember, He Yu you go first."

  He Yu walked in the front, Xie Fan second, I third, Cheng Yi fourth. The four of us tiptoed to the back of the three people in front of the small pavilion without making a sound. As soon as we saw what they were doing, we fainted instantly. Chen Yu was the first to notice the movement behind him and turned his head: "Huh? Ye Fei junior brother, you're here, just in time. Let me introduce you, this is the blind monk who just went up against Xie Fan's Delevin, my disciple." Chen Yu proudly raised his head high.

  Yang Xu helped me up from the ground: "Someone come! Get a shovel! Ye Fei, junior brother is no longer okay!"

  "Whoa! I think I can still save it." I stood up and looked at Xie Fan, his old face slightly reddened: "Cough cough, Ye Fei junior brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

  "What's with the way you're staring at me?! I just said there was no need to make such a big deal, we could have just gone downstairs directly. But instead, you made a huge fuss and in the end, it took four people using all their strength to get 'Night Cat' down the stairs, only to find out it's like this!"

  Chen Yu glanced at Xie Fan for a moment and understood what was going on. He smiled slyly: "Heh heh, Xie Fan, you scared yourself, but also brought your junior brothers and sisters along."

  Xie Fan polished his glasses, speechless. He was about to apologize to me and Cheng Yu when an old man with a broom came from afar. Chen Yu grabbed us and ran upstairs, "The dorm inspector is coming! Run quickly!"

  With a whoosh, several people instantly disappeared into the small pavilion. The old man rubbed his eyes: "Just now, weren't there several 'night owls' over there?"

  Quickly opening the door, walking in, closing the door, several people sat on the ground panting heavily. "Hello everyone, I am the blind monk from just now, my name is Tang Yijun, and I'm a high school student."

  "I: "Tang Yijun! It's you!" Tang Yijun was a young man, and after getting a clear look at my appearance, he also exclaimed: "Ye Fei, it's you!"

  "What's wrong, are you two acquainted?"

  "Yeah, he's my classmate from high school, the top student in our grade. I didn't expect you to play League of Legends too, I thought you only liked reading and writing."

  Tang Yijun scratched his head with a sheepish grin: "Heh heh, I just started playing recently and think it's pretty fun. After all, I'm also from the famous esports school Beiyang High School; if I don't play games, I won't have anything to talk about with everyone."

  Chen Yu patted Tang Yijun's shoulder: "A young man is teachable." Tang Yijun felt like he had entered a den of thieves.

  Xie Fan rubbed his glasses: "Chen Yu, the bathhouse door is broken." Chen Yu: "Oh." Xie Fan rubbed his glasses again: "I plan to buy a cheaper one to put on top first." Chen Yu: "Okay, use my money for that." Xie Fan rubbed his glasses once more: "The broken door has 100,000 yuan."

  "What!" Chen Yu suddenly fell to the ground unconscious, everyone pinched his people in the middle, artificial respiration (using a toy bear), burst chrysanthemum (what ghost is this). Chen Yu finally covered the chrysanthemum and jumped up: "Don't we still have 100,000 yuan prize money from college? Everyone work hard to get it back! Okay, let's continue the game! He Yu, bring another bamboo stick!"

  Chen Yu suddenly threw the matter of the bathroom door far away, "Xie Fan, say your requirements, what do you want to draw 'apple' for?" Xie Fan rubbed his glasses: "Lead everyone to win the global League of Legends esports tournament and become the world's number one!"

  Everyone's blood was boiling with excitement. Xie Fan rubbed his glasses: "Don't be in a hurry, I still have one more thing to say. The person who draws the bamboo slip will become our team leader!"

  So it turns out that Xie Fan is giving up the opportunity to be the captain. I said, "Xie Fan senior, why don't you draw lots too?" Xie Fan shook his head, "I won't be able to be the captain, you guys go ahead and draw lots, don't mind me."

  A sacred draw, decided who among us would be the captain, from now on, everyone will have to listen to his command! Is it the sly Chen Yu, or the lewd Yang Xu, or He Yu who loves flower rings, or the little beauty Cheng Yi, or perhaps the newly arrived high school student Tang Yijun?

  Tang Yijun scratched his head: "I just arrived, I just knew everyone, and now I'm not needed." Tang Yijun stepped down, leaving only Chen Yu, Yang Xu, He Yu, Cheng Yi, and me to draw lots.

  Xie Fan rubbed his glasses: "Come on, draw now." Chen Yu drew a lot first, and under his lead, everyone else also stretched out their hands to draw lots. After a while, Xie Fan asked: "How's it going? Who got the winning lot?"

  He Yu went to the ground 'ghost painting' and looked like he didn't win, Cheng Yi little beauty stared at me shaking her head, Yang Xu waved his hand: "Didn't win."

  Everyone looked at me and Chen Yu, Chen Yu with a nose full of snot and tears: "Ye Fei junior brother, from now on this team will be handed over to you for leadership."

  I grasped the bamboo slip in my hand with the word 'apple' engraved on it: "Don't be like that, Chen Yuxue senior, you were originally the captain of the battle team."

  Chen Yu wiped away his tears: "A gentleman's word is like a swift horse, it cannot be caught up with. I said you are the one, and from now on, you will be the captain!"

  From then on, the position of captain fell on my shoulders. Although I became the nominal 'captain', and it was also claimed that I was the captain of this team outside, but in fact, when everyone got together, they still took Chen Yu as the leader, and I also firmly believed in my heart that he was the real captain of our team.

  Next, Chen Yu let the newcomer Tang Yijun see one despicable scene after another, completely subverting Tang Yijun's outlook on life and values. After winning against the barbarian with Sword Saint in Tang Yijun's solo battle, "The person who drew the lot runs around the dormitory for thirty laps!" Next was Chen Yu's senior's thirty-lap long run around the dormitory.

  A few of us were watching a movie on a big computer, continuing from the horror movie we watched earlier. The background music changed from Super Mario to Jay Chou's "Double Chopsticks", which was so out of place that it completely killed the scare factor. It was like watching "The Ring" with Stephen Chow's voiceover - not scary at all.

  Chen Yu ran another lap, and Yang Xu threw him a bag of potato chips: "Chen Yu, there are still eighteen laps left, come on." Chen Yu was so exhausted that he couldn't even muster the energy to respond to Yang Xu's words.

  After we finished watching the horror movie, Chen Yu fell to the ground with a thud, having finally run 30 laps. Xie Fan rubbed his glasses and asked, "Chen Yu, are you going to continue this game?" Chen Yu panted heavily: "Continue...continue what? It's so late, everyone should be resting soon, or else we'll fall asleep in class tomorrow..." Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yu fell asleep! I said to him, "Chen Yu, you're not even afraid of falling asleep in class anymore! You've been sleeping with your head on the desk, haven't you?"

  Xie Fan took off his glasses and went to sleep. He also reminded us to cover ourselves with a quilt so as not to catch a chill (because the air conditioner was on). Then he looked at Tang Yijun: "Younger brother, you'd better sleep here too. If you go out now, you'll be caught by the dormitory inspector and that won't be good."

  Yang Xu nodded frantically: "Yes, yes! You don't know, this dorm inspector is fierce! He'll catch you and hang you from a tree to beat!"

  He Yu was curled up into a ball, lying inside like a bird's nest: "Yang Xu said it right, you don't know, that dorm inspector is a gangster, hiding in Beiyang High School. If you go out and get caught, I reckon there'll be less meat on your body going down, which part of the meat will be missing, you can think for yourself."

  Tang Yijun was said to be stunned, his feet stopped as he was about to walk out, and he looked at me in surprise: "What they said is true, you'd better be careful when you go out. The old man who checks the dorms has three knives on him, and it's said that when he was young, he was known as Wang Sandao, a notorious figure in the underworld."

  Chen Yu and Yang Xu instantly gave me a thumbs up, hinting that I was extremely clever. I continued to say: "Killing pigs is the best."

  Chen Yu, Yang Xu: "Damn it, we've been trying to scare him for half a day, and your last sentence turned him into a pig butcher!"

  It wasn't until Little Beauty Cheng Yi spoke up that Tang Yijun finally made up his mind to sleep in the dormitory tonight.

  Everyone was sleeping in the hall, no one went to the bedroom, even little beauty Cheng Yi was lying alone on the soft blanket-covered ground.

  At midnight, the sounds of insects and birds outside accompanied by the soft breathing of people inside formed a soothing music that rose and fell. I couldn't sleep no matter what, just thinking about how I was sleeping in the same dormitory as little beauty Cheng Yi, on the same floor, made me unable to sleep. Looking out the window, the bright half-moon seemed especially radiant. At this moment, my side felt a slight tightness, as if someone had leaned over close to me.

  I turned around to see it was little beauty Cheng Yi, and my heart suddenly started racing like crazy, "Cheng...Yi, you're not...sleeping yet?"

  Cheng Yi: "As soon as I think of Yang Xu's horror movie, I get scared and can't sleep." Yang Xu's horror movie is even scarier than The Ring. If it weren't for the Beijing music being changed to a funny tune by Yang Xu, I'm sure not only little beauty Cheng Yi would be sleeping badly now.

  Cheng Yi's face turned red: "Can I sleep next to you?"

  Wait... with so many people around, why did little beauty Cheng Yi pick me! As soon as I figured this out, I was happily crying: "I can! Who says I can't fight to the death with him!"

  Cheng Yi smiled cutely with a sweet face and fell asleep beside me.
