Chapter 309: Chapter 273: Snowflake Crisp Falling from the Sky

The corner of the sixth floor.

Yang and Huang squatted at the stairwell in just their underwear, peering down like a pair of mice.

Then they looked up and exchanged confused glances, utterly baffled.

Good news, reinforcements have arrived.

Bad news, it’s Jiang Nian and Cai Xiaoqing who arrived.

Neither of them had any keys on them; the only hope was... to send them back to get another roommate with keys.

Or ask Jiang Nian to help pick up the keys.

The problem is, who would go?

The one who went to inform the two would face social death, but could save the other.

Pretend that the other had gone down early for breakfast or something else.

So... who should be the trailblazer?

Huang Caicai gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that an army is trained for a thousand days to be used one moment. For the sake of a table’s worth of food, he would carry the burden of the world.

He stood up and said loudly.

"Bro, wait for me here."

Yang Qiming was stunned, looking up at Huang Caicai in just his underwear.

"Cailang, where are you going?"

Huang Caicai took two steps forward, his back was tall and... bare. His underwear fluttered in the wind, with a voice full of sadness and determination.

"I’m going to find Jiang Nian and the Student Affairs, have them call someone to bring the key."

He turned back and glanced at Yang Qiming.

"Bro, stay here and wait for me to come back alone to get you."

Yang Qiming understood; Huang Caicai intended to self-destruct. By sacrificing himself, he could save his own face; only one person would face social death this way.

"No, Cailang! I won’t agree!"

"Bro, no need for more words of retention." Huang Caicai waved his hand in refusal and sighed, "If I don’t go to hell, who will? It’s okay."

In fact, Yang Qiming was just putting up a front.

As soon as he thought about social death in front of the Student Affairs, he went soft all over.

Although Cai Xiaoqing was a bit fierce, she’s still a pretty girl after all.

Others might be afraid, but Yang Qiming wasn’t really afraid. His family was well-off, and his awareness and courage were more than most in the class.

After graduating, could Cai Xiaoqing still be fierce?

Surely not, right, confinement.

Of course, this was just a scenario Yang Qiming envisioned. Even if it was Nie Qiqi, he wouldn’t want to lose face in front of her.

Who knew if there might be a future chance encounter?

"Cailang, good brother!" Yang Qiming was deeply moved and reciprocated, "No more words, I’ll cover all meals this week. Let’s eat and drink well!"

Hearing this, Huang Caicai’s eyes lit up.

Yang would never lie. Saying they’d eat well and drink well, he’d certainly not offer cafeteria food as a ruse! It must be true eating and drinking well!

Thinking of the good times ahead this week, his stomach felt warm, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Bro! A man dies for his bosom friend!"

Boys are like this, you give me one hundred yuan... I can’t accept it. But you say you’ll cover my lunch for a week, you just say you like white silk or black silk.

Anyway, brother, just come over.

In the fifth-floor internal passage.

Jiang Nian suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, looking back into the deep corridor.

"Did you hear something?"

The dormitory, to begin with, was dead silent. Cai Xiaoqing, who was just focused on finding the dorm room, suddenly pricked by his words, instantly got goosebumps all over her back.

"What?"

Jiang Nian walked quickly in her direction and in a low, eerie voice said.

"It feels like... someone is watching us."

Hearing this, Cai Xiaoqing turned pale.

"Don’t say such scary things, is it Yang Qiming and the rest?"

It’s just seven thirty in the morning, and the dormitory passage is long and dark. Filled with a damp mist, it does have a somewhat eerie feel.

"I don’t know, I heard a bit of a sound." Jiang Nian shrugged.

Cai Xiaoqing looked tense and swallowed hard.

"What sound?"

Although she knew this brat might lie, the atmosphere was indeed tense. Not to mention, she also heard some rustling sounds.

Humans are naturally afraid of the unknown.

"Nothing much, maybe I heard it wrong." Jiang Nian said, "For now, all the dormitory rooms are locked, meaning no one is in the dormitory."

"But it’s possible they are still in the dormitory building, so let’s split up to look for them."

Listening to his words, almost like those silly lines in horror movies, Cai Xiaoqing couldn’t help but get angry.

"You’re not going anywhere!"

"Is it forced love?"

"..." Cai Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Nian, regretting bringing him along, "If we can’t find them, forget it. We’ll go back and inform the homeroom teacher."

She was extremely calm, searching for them was just out of classmate camaraderie. For instance, if the early reading attendance wasn’t checked, then the finding was just an unfounded event.

But if they can’t be found before eight, they can only inform the homeroom teacher.

At the corner of the fifth floor.

Peering at them, Huang Caicai panicked, what’s the deal?

Are they leaving just like that?

He just wanted to call them over but hesitated; after all, he was only in his underwear. It didn’t matter if they were all boys, but Cai Xiaoqing was here.

Just when he was pondering how to attract Jiang Nian, he scared them away instead.

Listening to them saying they were leaving and telling the teacher!

No way!

They can’t leave! If they go, the homeroom teacher will bring people, no, might even bring teachers to find someone, or even notify parents.

Just thinking about that scene, Huang Caicai broke into a cold sweat.

His instinct was to run back up and ask Yang waiting on the sixth floor, but seeing Cai Xiaoqing and Jiang Nian about to withdraw, a sudden burst of wit arose in a flash.

He mouthed a few words, immediately making some otherworldly sounds.

Vivid and lifelike.

"What’s that noise?" Cai Xiaoqing got startled, turned to look at the end of the corridor.

"Someone, I’ll go over and see." Jiang Nian wasn’t as timid, what could possibly happen during the day, could they encounter a naked man engaging in strange behavior?

"No, don’t go!" Cai Xiaoqing pulled him, pointing to the staircase on the other side, "Let’s go down from there and talk later."

Hearing this, Huang Caicai started to panic, this won’t do.

So he scrambled up the stairs, intending to race across the sixth floor and make it to the five-floor passage entrance first, to block them and carry on his usual trick.

The purpose was, of course, to buy time, to have them pause halfway.

Yang Qiming was squatting comfortably at the stairwell, patiently waiting for good news from his brother. Suddenly, he heard an inexplicable gust of ghostly wind, scaring him stiff.

Seeing Huang Caicai charging up, looking flustered, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Cailang, did you hear any sound?"

Huang Caicai was busy with his speedy advance, trying to get to the fifth-floor stairwell on the other side before Cai Xiaoqing and Jiang Nian. He had no time to respond and could only mumble vaguely.

"Yang, let’s talk later."

Yang Qiming watched Huang Caicai run like a madman as if possessed, and then glanced at the peeling wall on the sixth-floor corridor.

The male dormitory building five was a bit special, the sixth floor was unused.

Normally unoccupied, it becomes quite eerie in the evenings.

In the morning it was fine though, but certain thoughts started creeping into Yang Qiming’s mind, feeling chills coming on. Looking down the corridor, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Speak of the devil, a gust of chilling wind blew past his ear.

The faint horrifying sound re-emerged, as if pounding a heavy hammer on his heart, gripping his throat tightly.

Oh crap!

There is... there is...

Yang Qiming broke out in goosebumps, regretting not having called Cailang over. If only there was one more companion, he surely wouldn’t be this frightened.

If brothers were around, they could save each other from dire straits.

"Did you hear that?" Cai Xiaoqing felt tingles on her scalp, froze mid-corridor, "It’s the same sound from before, this time..."

Jiang Nian turned, looked at the pale Cai Xiaoqing, comforting her.

"Don’t be scared, I’ll go see how the ghost ahead looks like."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaoqing felt her entire being go numb.

This guy truly lives on the edge!

She turned only to see Jiang Nian really heading forward, her heart instantly tightened. After hesitating for a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and followed up.

Jiang Nian rounded the corner ahead first, immediately faced with a thunderous surprise.

He saw an underwear-clad Huang Caicai, looking awkwardly, waving at him.

If it were Cai Xiaoqing, witnessing this bizarre scene, she’d probably be scared to death on the spot.

"Don’t let her over! Don’t!!" Huang Caicai frantically waved his hand.

Jiang Nian realized that Cai Xiaoqing shouldn’t see this and turned to look at her not far behind, with a serious face.

"Stop right there!"

Cai Xiaoqing’s heart skipped a beat at once, pupils contracted sharply.

"Wh...what’s the matter?"

"Don’t ask, just stay there." Jiang Nian had a serious face, even his expression was dead serious, "Unless I give you the word, don’t come over."

She was stunned by Jiang Nian’s serious expression, simultaneously feeling that something in her heart had been "verified."

"What did you see?"

Jiang Nian didn’t know how to answer and simply brushed it off vaguely.

"You won’t want to know."

Cai Xiaoqing was even more startled in her heart, yet more at a loss on what to do.

"Do you need my help?"

"No, you just stand there and don’t do anything." Jiang Nian, fearing she might come over by herself, added a scare, "One glance and it’s all over in this lifetime."

Huang Caicai was dumbfounded listening, thinking Jiang Nian was quite impressive.

Can he even teach the Student Affairs how to handle things?

Seeing Jiang Nian turn back, he lowered his voice, and briefly stated.

"Get Duan Hongtao to bring the dorm keys to save us!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian, though unsure where exactly Yang Qiming was, could guess the other party’s situation.

"Alright."

After signaling, Jiang Nian took Cai Xiaoqing in another direction.

"It’s dealt with."

"What do you mean?" Cai Xiaoqing somewhat got back to her senses, only asking after they had completely exited the dormitory building, "They were hiding?"

"More or less, they’ll come back soon anyway." Jiang Nian didn’t elaborate.

Cai Xiaoqing hummed, maintaining her aloof image, but internally growing more curious.

For those who play coy, let them perish!

...

Yang Qiming, waiting impatiently, suddenly felt the urge to go to the bathroom.

The cold wind blew, and his stomach started gurgling.

"No way!"

Swift as can be, Huang Caicai crawled stealthily from the dark corner of the sixth-floor corridor. He was afraid of making a sound that would alert Cai Xiaoqing downstairs.

Thus opting for a serpentine route, quiet steps were even quieter!

The passage was already dark, and this scene to Yang Qiming, was like he was seeing a ghost. He yelped, almost fainting from fright.

Until Huang Caicai appeared before him, excitedly proclaiming.

"Great news, bro, we’re saved."

Yang Qiming glanced at Huang Caicai’s shadow, quietly checking if his heels were lifted, seeing nothing amiss, he finally felt at ease.

"That’s good, but Cailang, I kinda need to use the bathroom now, did you bring any paper?"

Huang Caicai looked down at his only garment of underwear, then at the equally bare Yang Qiming, scratching his head he asked.

"Bro, if I said I brought it, guess where I hid it?"

Yang Qiming’s gaze lowered, speculating in his mind, he remarked.

"Cailang, I understand you."

Huang Caicai looked baffled, letting out an "ah?"

"Bro, understand what?"

"Ahem, my cousin used to enjoy working night shifts as a cashier." Yang Qiming said awkwardly, "After his shift, he liked to lay down, placing a few sheets of paper before falling asleep."

Hearing this, Huang Caicai’s eyes widened.

"Ah?"

Yang Qiming saw that Huang Caicai didn’t get his humor, so he just waved it off.

"Forget it, I’ll hold it for a while."

On the other side.

On his way back to class, Jiang Nian bought some snacks, giving some to Cai Xiaoqing in the spirit of sharing.

He filled his pockets and started passing out goodies once back at his seat.

"Here."

Early reading had yet to end.

Zhang Ningzhi used the last ten minutes to finish homework, lifting her head only to see it rain down snowy crispy treats from the sky.

Flipping and flapping, scattering all around.
