Chapter 519: Chapter 233: Taking Turns Staying Awake (Extra 1000 words added)

"I’m bringing an extra pair of shoes for insurance since we have P.E. class today," Wei Liang said calmly, the fear of being dominated by a muscular man forcing a shoe onto him the day before still seemed to hover over him.

"Oh, cut the crap, did you oversleep? Hurry up and get out of bed to wash up!"

Wei Liang, with his bag on his back, urged, "We’re just waiting on you now; I didn’t realize you could sleep so much, how come you’re sleeping like a dead pig today?"

On the other side, Tian Bufan and the others were ready too, just sitting in their chairs looking as if they were waiting just for him.

Seeing this, Lin Yi didn’t have time for explanations and hurriedly got out of bed to wash.

However, the moment he flipped the quilt, a large cloud of white powder rose up, looking as if someone had sprinkled flour on his bed.

"Cough, cough! Cough, cough!"

Lin Yi accidentally inhaled some of the powder, and he started to cough violently.

Upon seeing this, Wei Liang leaped onto the desk in a single bound to help Lin Yi by patting his back, "Damn, Old Lin, what the hell is this? Wall plaster peeling off?"

He couldn’t help but reach out to touch the quilt and then became even more confused, "Eh, how come it’s gone again?"

The violent coughing left Lin Yi’s head spinning, and at his words, he checked the quilt carefully again, but this time there was not only no white powder on his quilt, it was also extremely smooth, with no abnormalities at all.

Lin Yi paused, and then, noticing he wasn’t coughing anymore, shook his head and climbed down from the bed, leaning on the rail.

As his feet touched the ground, he seemed to remember something and couldn’t help but look up at the ceiling.

The ceiling had seemed to turn into a floor in his half-awake state the day before, the whole dormitory appearing as if it had been flipped upside down by 180 degrees.

Even now, with his feet planted firmly on the ground, he still felt an unrealistic sense of dreaminess.

He always felt a bit woozy, as if his soul hadn’t returned, and his vision was somewhat unsteady.

He slowly approached the washstand, propped himself up on it and took a breath, then turned on the faucet to wash his face.

But as he washed his face, he found the texture on his hands to be unprecedentedly smooth; he paused and looked up at his reflection in the mirror.

In the mirror, his face had no features, as smooth as a peeled hard-boiled egg.

"?!"

Startled, Lin Yi staggered backwards, slipping and falling heavily onto his buttocks, hitting the bathroom door with such force that it stopped him.

"What’s going on, what’s going on?" Wei Liang dashed over and helped Lin Yi up from the ground.

Lin Yi cautiously looked in the mirror again and saw that his reflection had returned to normal, as if he’d just experienced a hallucination.

"No...no problem," Lin Yi said, waving his hand, and started to pour water to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth.

"Do you want me to pack a pair of shoes for you too?" Wei Liang asked.

"Uh...okay," Lin Yi thought it over; the Boss’s shoes were certainly nice, but they were a bit too tight for him.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

He watched his reflection in the mirror, brushing his teeth and rinsing, unsure if he still hadn’t detached himself from the dream environment, but he felt the environment reflected in the mirror was unfamiliar, and even looking at himself seemed strange.

Suddenly, through the mirror, his gaze caught the window beside him.

The dormitory window... was open.

He clearly remembered it being closed!

That strange creature from the night seemed to have opened the window, but the Dormitory Supervisor had closed it again during room inspection, right?

"Yin Bi opened the window," Wei Shan’s voice came from the side, "I closed it a bit because it was chilly, but Yin Bi told me not to close it all the way."

"Isn’t it nice to get some fresh air in the early morning?" Kuai Hongji said, arms crossed and sneering, "Remember to close it once you’re done washing up."

After saying this, Kuai Hongji turned and opened the dormitory door with a bag in hand.

"Kuai Kuai, you leaving first?" Lin Yi asked.

"Let’s wait a bit, Old Lin is awake, we’re not short on those few minutes," Tian Bufan’s voice also chimed in.

Kuai Hongji narrowed his eyes, then silently pulled the door closed.

"Alright then."

After washing up, Lin Yi went to close the window, but as he reached out to grab the window handle, his gaze slipped through the crack and saw the exterior wall of the dormitory.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Moss?"

The outside wall of the dormitory was covered with moss, and from his angle, the wall... seemed to give the impression of a cliff face.

Pressed for time, he didn’t ponder it further but quickly closed the window.

6:30, all set, the group was ready to leave the dormitory.

Suddenly, Lin Yi remembered something and slapped his forehead, "Almost forgot about that!"

He went back to the locker, opened the door, and started rummaging through it.

"Stop looking, I’ve already folded that piece of paper and put it in your bag for you," Tian Bufan said calmly.

What Lin Yi was searching for was the piece of paper left by Song Rentou, but Tian Bufan had already anticipated his action.

"You always have it together," Lin Yi couldn’t help but give a thumbs up in admiration.

...

6:35, Lin Yi and the others took the elevator down from the dormitory building.

The way down was very smooth, mainly because a certain someone was very conscious of not thinking too much, just following the group like a wooden figure into the elevator and then to the first floor.

There weren’t just a few Experience Students leaving the dormitory building at this time, but they were all hurrying on their way, not paying much attention to the people around them.

The morning after the storm, outside the dormitory building, presented a scene of freshness and tranquility.

The sky had been scrubbed to an extra brightness, with cobalt blue dotted with some white clouds. The morning sun shone through the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows, making the outside of the dormitory building seem to be tinged with a faint golden hue.
