Chapter 604: Chapter 274: Long Time No See, Still Alive Huh? _2

The sports student smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Yuansong. I’ve heard Old Xu and Hetian Bufan mention you."

"Young Master Tian?" Lin Yi was taken aback, suddenly remembering that the Zhang Yuansong standing in front of him seemed to be one of the sports students who played ’barbecue’ with Young Master Tian and Old Du!

That’s the Old Zhang—Class 8 Group C, Zhang Yuansong!

"I’ve got things to do, so I’ll head off first; feel free to hang out. Boss and Li Huiyuan are inside." Zhang Yuansong didn’t bother with pleasantries, exchanging a few words before wiping his body and heading to his locker.

However, Lin Yi caught him muttering something like "It seems Old Xu wasn’t wrong at all..." which further confused Lin Yi, who already felt like his head was full of question marks.

With such doubts, Lin Yi groggily approached the locker, found an unused one, and swiped his Student ID card.

"Beep...click!"

This time, the locker door opened.

Lin Yi looked down and saw a white gymnastics suit with blue trim, a portable card holder for the Student ID, a bath towel, several towels, a pair of slippers, and not much else.

He took off his clothes, changed into the gymnastics suit, put on the slippers, and stuffed his backpack along with his other belongings into the locker. Then, he locked the locker door and headed to the Gymnastics Hall through the dressing room corridor.

Throughout the process, he felt uneasy, as if there were thorns on his back. Although the surrounding sports students didn’t deliberately observe him, he could clearly feel their gazes.

It really felt like, "damn, I haven’t even dated yet and these guys are already seeing me naked."

Approaching the real entrance of the Gymnastics Hall, images of Boss and Li Huiyuan popped into Lin Yi’s mind. For some reason, he felt a sense of unease as if it was a homecoming after a long absence...

"Not like... why am I even anxious?"

Lin Yi couldn’t help but shake his head, placed his slippers on the shoe cabinet at the entrance, and then walked barefoot into the Gymnastics Hall.

The automatic glass door of the Gymnastics Hall slid open with a "whoosh" and let him in.

Lin Yi frowned slightly, wondering, "Huh, strange... Isn’t the campus supposed to be non-electric? What’s with this automatic door?"

"Could I be mistaken?"

"Impossible! The streetlights indeed use supernatural power!"

He glanced uneasily at the high dome of the Gymnastics Hall and thought, "Right, besides incandescent bulbs, there seems to be LED lights in the gyms! Maybe the gym has its own power source?"

He remembered reading in the gym rules that [The Gymnastics Hall and the Giant Dome have the most abundant electricity supply in the entire campus area, maintaining 24-hour lighting without any flickering lights], and originally, he thought this statement was meant to reassure the Experience Students, but now it seemed there might be more to it?

He slowly walked into the Gymnastics Hall, stepping on the slightly cold floor, calming down a little.

The interior of the Gymnastics Hall was vast, like a huge basketball court. One could see all the way to the back end at a glance, but as the view stretched to its limit, the edges would still appear dim and blurry.

This was a very normal phenomenon. Even in places like the Convenience Store, once out of the limits of vision, everything seen turns dim.

Looking around, the equipment in the Gymnastics Hall was sparsely distributed, but all the necessary amenities were there. However, these setups made Lin Yi’s skin crawl... He lacked athletic skills; even running was challenging enough, let alone swimming or dealing with things like rings, uneven bars, and pommel horses here.

Near the inner ring of the Gymnastics Hall, there was a large area of floor-to-ceiling windows, through which one could see the situation on the first floor. Li Huiyuan was there, stretching her legs with Boss.

A notice indicated that the gymnastics training companion for Li Huiyuan should be the Boss.

Moreover, Lin Yi remembered Wei Liang coming here once before, cheerily thinking it was a sports student girl inviting him to practice gymnastics, only to find out the "real thing didn’t match the picture" and that it was a bulky sports student guy who tortured him to death, and little pearls of sweat were dripping...

"Wait a sec..." Lin Yi suddenly realized a serious problem, "Boss is accompanying Li Huiyuan, so who will coach me?!"

"Hiss..." Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Could it be that the exact sports student guy who brutalized Wei Liang last time would come after him now?!

He silently stood at the entrance of the Gymnastics Hall, feeling as if there was no place for him in the vast world, and in the quiet air, the BGM "Jùhuā Cán, Mǎn Dì Shāng, Nǐ de Jùhuā Yǐ Fànhuáng" (Chrysanthemums Hurt All Over the Ground, Your Chrysanthemum Has Turned Yellow) seemed to play, causing him a pang...

At this moment, a cold voice reached his ears:

"Since you’re already up here, what are you doing standing there?"

Lin Yi instinctively stood up straight, like a small Kara foam being militarily trained, his restless hands suddenly pressed against the outside of his thighs.

Almost out of a subconscious reaction, he immediately located the Boss’s position by following his voice.

The Boss stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest, the corners of his mouth bearing a trace of cold curvature, and when he saw him looking, he tilted his head slightly as a greeting.

Lin Yi quickly jogged over, under the watchful eyes of the Sports Students, and arrived in front of the Boss.

"Long time no see, still alive?" the Boss greeted, without any politeness.

Lin Yi stumbled, and with a helpless bitter smile said, "Boss, what are you talking about... Aren’t I fine?"

He remembered that Old Mo had greeted Mu Daxian in the same way upon seeing him; he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, could this be the standard greeting for the retained staff at S City University?

Like how others usually ask "Have you eaten?", here it should be "Are you alive?"

If you think about it that way, it makes sense, after all, "being alive" is truly a luxury.

The Boss slightly nodded, his eyebrows raising slightly, and he straightforwardly asked, "How did you provoke the Rage Angel?"

Lin Yi was taken aback, then quickly said, "Boss, maybe you should listen to something else first, according to the Homeroom teacher, I should explain the situation to you right away..."

Hearing this, the Boss unfolded his arms and leaned back on the armrest where Li Huiyuan was doing leg stretches, his cold eyes carrying a hint of laziness, he scanned Lin Yi from head to toe, then said, "Then tell me, I am quite curious too."

"I am too," Li Huiyuan seriously nodded.

"Focus on your leg stretching, did you get a cramp just now?" the Boss lightly flicked her forehead.

Li Huiyuan shrank her neck and playfully stuck out her pink tongue, "Hehehe, got it Boss... you guys chat, you guys chat..."

Lin Yi looked at Li Huiyuan in surprise, he had never seen such a lively side of her.

Especially yesterday, when Li Huiyuan’s student card was snatched by the Blue Pocket Chef, although she seemed not to care, she was actually enveloped in a sorrowful mood.

He could sense this emotion from Li Huiyuan, but he was unable to offer any comfort; any verbal comfort, for Li Huiyuan at that time, seemed pale and powerless, and it was better to show actions instead.

"Do you want me to pluck out your eyeballs and place them on her legs?" the Boss’s icy tone cut through the air like a knife.

Lin Yi shuddered violently.

"Cough, cough cough..."

"This is how it is..."

Lin Yi then explained how Mao Feiyang had accidentally fallen in the Green Forest Belt and got contaminated with the "He-I" scent, however, in his narration, he replaced himself with Mao Feiyang and used "suspected angelic presence" instead of "He-I", and also altered some details, making the whole situation seem more "reasonable" after adding some embellishments.

In essence, because Lin Yi did not change those core details in his narration, the description remained extremely true and of great judgmental value.

"...That’s how it is, the Homeroom teacher told me to come to the Gymnasium right after eating and to tell the Sports Students the situation, and then said that the Sports Students would tell me to do so."

Lin Yi described the situation "in detail" and added, "Just now when I saw you guys here, I came over, since the waters shouldn’t go to waste... ah no, since I’m somewhat familiar with some Sports Students including you, Boss, and Xu Shunkang!"

After listening, the Boss furrowed her brows slightly and hummed a few sounds of "angel", then finally asked in a deep voice, "Where did you fall?"

"Ga...?" Lin Yi was stunned; the focus of the Boss seemed a bit... strange!
