Chapter 4

Even without turning around, Wan Yue and Huang Xuexue instantly understood the situation.

I could feel Huang Xuexue trembling violently in my arms.

“Auntie, you saw it too.”

I swear, even during the college entrance exam, my brain had never worked this fast.

I turned slightly to show her the pile of junk blocking the door behind us.

“We did a big cleaning today and stacked everything here. Even if we wanted to open the door, we couldn’t.”

“And it’s so late. Of course we were already asleep. I heard something just now and thought a thief had gotten into the dorm, so I woke both of them up.”

I had no time to consider whether my words were logically sound. All I could do was smile as sincerely as possible and try to make her believe me.

After all, she was already abnormal. According to Chen Ling’s rules, I couldn’t let her think that we thought she was abnormal.

Fortunately, after hearing me, she stopped. The hideous expression on her face vanished abruptly, as if it had been smoothed flat by an iron.

In its place was her usual peaceful smile.

“So that’s what happened. Looks like Auntie misunderstood you girls.”

I didn’t dare let my guard down and continued testing the waters.

“Then, Auntie, please don’t come in and out through somewhere as dangerous as the window next time. Come on, we’ll help you tidy up, and you can leave through the door.”

“Yes, yes, Auntie. It’s hard enough for you at your age.”

Wan Yue suddenly chimed in.

But the Dormitory Auntie’s next words plunged us into an ice cellar.

“It’s no trouble. Auntie can just leave through the window. But before I go, you girls have to let Auntie see you sleeping, right?”

“Also, why is this student so rude? She doesn’t even know to look at Auntie.”

The Dormitory Auntie pointed at Huang Xuexue in my arms.

“Could it be that she thinks Auntie is… abnormal?”

The moment she said that, I saw the Dormitory Auntie’s expression shift again, and the hand on her leg began to wave restlessly.

But Huang Xuexue had always been timid.

Normally, she didn’t even dare sleep with the lights off at night and had set up a little lamp inside her bed curtains.

In a situation like this, she…

“I’m sorry… Auntie!!”

She suddenly spoke in a sobbing voice, startling me.

Then she squeezed my hand, glanced at me, and turned around.

-I saw that she was already crying her eyes out.

“Waaaah, but I just got dumped! I couldn’t sleep in the first place! Can you please not force me?!”

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Although her reaction was normal, there was no guarantee the monster wouldn’t be enraged.

Luckily-thankfully-the Dormitory Auntie returned to her original state.

She sounded a little reproachful.

“You child. How can one breakup make you act like it’s the end of the world? If you sleep well, your skin will be good. Then you’ll have your pick of any kind of man you want.”

“Really?”

Huang Xuexue cried even harder.

“But he dumped me because I’m too pretty! Waaaah! What did I do wrong by being this beautiful?!”

“No! I have to demand an explanation from him!”

The more Huang Xuexue spoke, the more aggrieved she seemed. She pulled out her phone and started typing furiously.

If the atmosphere hadn’t been so bizarre, I might really have laughed out loud.

She’d been single since birth, but she was surprisingly convincing.

Just then, Wan Yue tugged at me, took out her phone, and gestured for me to look at the messages.

In our dorm’s small group chat, Huang Xuexue had sent a few brief lines.

“Chen Ling’s rules. Look at your phones!”

Right.

Chen Ling had said that phones were safe. If necessary, play on your phone.

I immediately joined Huang Xuexue and shouted,

“Exactly!!! That scumbag! Yueyue and I will help you curse him out!”
