Chapter 53: The Dark Shadow in the Dorm

  The sound of nature was soothing, with a clear and open heart, without any hesitation or entanglement. Lying down for just a moment, I immediately fell asleep.

  Lu Peng also climbed onto his own bed, originally wanting to light a cigarette, but for some reason gave up on the idea. His mind was a bit dizzy, recalling when he stood on stage in high school, playing guitar and singing loudly, enjoying the applause from everyone below. At that time, he yearned even more to form a band. But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that his pockets were empty, so there was no point in thinking about it, and fell asleep.

  Li Wei opened his computer and found that his wireless network was about to expire. He had to renew it in two days. He stared at his computer, using software to mass-post the URL of his website on many forums and groups. Then, he lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, cracked his toes, picked his nose, and stared at the computer. He thought about how to continue with his website. It wasn't until late at night that he stretched his arms, didn't even wash his feet, and jumped into bed for a big sleep.

  And so, the 918 dormitory fell asleep.

  In the middle of the night, Xiao Xiao was woken up by a pressing need to urinate. He tightly contracted his own **, barely opening his eyes.

  In the middle of the night, all was quiet, and the insomnia-inducing city lights shone in through the balcony without curtains, soft and gentle, covering the other three sleeping people. At a glance, their closed eyes seemed to be tightly shut, their faces twisted, like three corpses.

  "My god!"

  He slowly got out of bed, rubbing his eyes that felt like they had magnets attached to them. He stumbled down the ladder and staggered into the bathroom, turning on the light. He pulled out his straight instrument and urinated angrily into the toilet for half an hour, finally feeling like he'd emptied himself completely. He shook his right hand, which was still holding his limp, long water gun, and struggled to open his eyes as he walked back to bed.

  Just then, he suddenly saw a black shadow on the balcony, about one meter high and half a meter thick, as if something was crouching there.

  "My god!"

  Is it a ghost?

  Xiao Xiao had always wanted to see this thing, but unfortunately never had the chance. However, now that it's finally out, anyone would feel a little terrified.

  Xiao Xiao had always been bold, thinking that this good thing wouldn't really happen to him. Or maybe it wasn't a ghost, who the hell put a pile of clothes there and made an odd shape? He must have seen things wrong, his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed his own eyes.

  "Cuckoo."

  That pile of things suddenly emitted a low hum, as if it was panting. It was clearly a living thing.

  Huh? Could it be that someone has entered the dorm without anyone noticing? How could I not know at all, was this person sneaking in while everyone was asleep?

  But what is he doing here? This isn't a girls' dorm. Just because he's good-looking, does he think he can come and peep at me?

  "My god! If it's like this, I'll be the first to make his butt explode."

  His heart was racing, his pores were dilating, and cold sweat was about to break out. He quietly retreated, backing up against the wall. With a light movement, he raised his right hand, his fingers brushing against the smooth wallpaper as they slid upwards.

  Xiao Xiao felt her way to the dormitory light switch and pressed it abruptly.

  "Ah."

  The entire dormitory was suddenly illuminated by the bright light emitted from the electric lamp.

  The black shadow on the balcony was illuminated by the light and suddenly kicked off with a loud noise, its body flashing as it shot into the air.

  A lone Australian kangaroo hopped onto the balcony and looked up at the sky.

  The sky is clear and vast, with countless stars shining like jewels in the black sea.

  A massive black shadow unfolded its luxuriant wings and sped across the sky, riding on the gem-like starlight, vanishing in an instant.

  The roasted fish and ribs that were originally placed on the balcony had disappeared. Only a few small oil stains remained, like tiny flowers blooming on the balcony.

  "What the f*** is that?" Xiao Xiao gazed out at the desolate night and cursed, "This is freaking ridiculous."

  The faintly lingering thoughts still hadn't dissipated as I walked back from the balcony, seeing that the other three people in the dorm were still sleeping soundly. I had no choice but to turn off the lights and jump into bed. My mind was filled with the shadow of what happened earlier, and just as I was about to fall asleep, a lively melody suddenly sounded beside my ear, followed by the school song:

  With crimson hope like red flowers on top of the sky.

  Shoulder to shoulder, sweating profusely.

  Cut through thorns and brambles.

  With feet on the ground and friendship like green leaves.

  Never give up, study hard.

  Create miracles.

  Ah, dear fellow students.

  Even if one day we graduate and part ways.

  Don't forget we once gathered here.

  Ah, dear fellow students.

  Even if one day we graduate and part ways.

  Carry our spirit to all corners of the world.

  "Ugh!" Xiao Xiao immediately stuffed her head under the pillow, trying to block out her ears. She grumbled in her heart:

  "Separation, just started school and it's all about separation. Separating like chicken feathers. One day I'll smash the broadcasting room of Nongda."

  The school song had been playing for a while, and Xiao Xiao heard Liu Yu's coughing sound. He heard him get out of bed, go down the stairs to the bathroom, and retch violently. The retching sounds seemed to be mixed with some sobbing. It seemed that he was really feeling extremely uncomfortable.

  He vomited, then started washing with water and rinsed his mouth. He went back to bed, neatly tidied up the things on the bed. Picked up his own books and materials, dressed neatly, opened the dormitory door and left.

  Xiao Xiao took the pillow off her face and saw that Liu Yu's bed was neatly stacked, spotless and dust-free. He must have already gone to the teaching building for early self-study.

  Such diligent studying is obviously out of place in a university atmosphere. Hasn't he escaped from the college entrance exams yet?

  Xiao Xiao saw that it was still early, so she closed her eyes, turned off the switch in her brain, and fell into a daze.

  Suddenly, Xiao was woken up by the sound of laughter and saw that Lu Ting and Li Wei had already gotten up. The two were smoking and laughing while talking about Liu Yu's embarrassing behavior last night.

  Xiao Xiao woke up with a start and asked sleepily what time it was.

  Lu Peng looked at his phone: "It's 9 o'clock."

  "Damn it!" Xiao slid down the bed, rushed into the bathroom, turned on the hot water faucet to warm water, and put the water flow to the maximum, taking a refreshing shower.

  While taking a bath, he looked through the water curtain on his head at his strong body and the furious smoke column in his crotch in the misty mirror. He thought to himself: I wonder if I can still meet Ye Xiaozhi today. That pure girl.

  Xiao Xiao finished washing up, using a towel to dry herself off. She admired herself in the mirror as she brushed her teeth, then put on a black T-shirt and a pair of denim shorts, making sure the shiny metal chain on her pants was visible. Her feet slipped into red canvas shoes, and she styled her hair with gel, putting in long earrings that dangled from her left ear. She looked at herself in the mirror, extremely satisfied.

  He walked out of the bathroom and came to the table under his bed, took his physical examination form, and rushed out excitedly.

  "Going for a physical check-up?" Lu Feng asked while combing his red hair.

  Xiao Xiao responded with a soft "yes".

  "Today, don't get invited into the security room again." Li Wei joked.

  "Get out." Xiao Xiao looked at them and said one sentence, then opened the dormitory door.

  Just then, Wang Yong walked in with a mahjong set and almost collided with them.

  "What's going on? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Xiao Xiao stared at Wang Yong in front of her.

  "Playing mahjong, playing mahjong." Wang hummed a tune, puffing out thin wisps of smoke as he spoke. He swayed the mahjong tiles in his hand. He had just seen Liu Yu leave their dormitory and brought over the mahjong set. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the doorway, he saw Xiao's medical examination form in her hand and hastily asked: "You, where are you going for this?"

  Xiao Xiao said that she didn't finish her physical examination yesterday and still needs to go again today. She naturally hid the fact that she, Niu Ming, and Ma Qing got into a fight.

  "My god, you're at it again. Yesterday's shit wasn't fully flushed, slept for a night, and today continued to flush." Wang Yong thought he could have some fun today, but unexpectedly ran into him having something on, regretfully saying: "Three lacking one ah, damn it, have you eaten?"

  Xiao Xiao listened as he quickly changed the subject from taking a dump to eating, and frowned, saying: "Damn, what are you talking about eating? Don't you know that physical exams don't allow eating?"

  Wang Yong's small round eyes rolled around, and he smiled: "Didn't you have a physical examination yesterday? It's all right. Today is just a formality, eating some food doesn't matter."
