Chapter 489: Chapter 469: The Dormitory Struggle (Part Eight)

"Why do you look so scared when you see a teacher? You look like you’ve seen a ghost," Qin Nuan frowned. She knew about Hei Yu and had seen him before.

Luo Qianqian was biting her lower lip tightly, "The problem is that it’s noon right now, Hei Yu usually doesn’t get up until the afternoon. And barbecue, haha, it’s a wonder that his body can handle it, who could it be that got him to come eat with them?"

Hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, Qin Nuan was also taken aback as she recalled Luo Qianqian mentioning Hei Yu’s anorexia and frowned slightly.

Can his body take such greasy food?

So Hei Yu wasn’t eating barbecue but was sitting with a bowl of noodles watching the person opposite him, who still wore sunglasses and a hat.

Luo Qianqian didn’t think too much of it, feeling it was better to avoid the situation. Since it was already in the past, she calmly followed Qin Nuan back to their dormitory.

(The following conversation is in English)

"Hello, could you tell me where the academic affairs office is?" The confusion on the blond young man’s face evoked Qin Nuan’s sympathy.

"Go straight from here, turn right at the third building, it’s on the second floor of the white building."

Luo Qianqian looked bewildered, not because she couldn’t understand, but suddenly she got goosebumps, feeling that this blond young man seemed like a very dangerous person.

"Thank you, you are so beautiful, let’s have a meal together sometime." The young man didn’t linger, he smiled, "My name is Elvis, a freshman in Computer Science and Technology."

After saying that, he waved and left.

(End of English)

"Elvis?" Luo Qianqian blinked in surprise, "I thought he might be called Alexander or something."

"Pfft, have you been watching too many TV shows?" Qin Nuan laughed, looking in the direction the young man had left: "I’m so envious of his hair, eyelashes, and eyes. No need to dye his hair, no need for eyelash extensions, and no need for colored contact lenses. He’s naturally a handsome guy."

"You should add skin to that list." Luo Qianqian glanced twice and then looked away: "So, you better not let that jealous guy hear this, otherwise I’ll have to keep an eye on you every day, afraid you’ll be whisked away by some foreign cutie..." she said with a tease.

Qin Nuan was both embarrassed and annoyed, yet helpless.

"Qianqian," Qin Nuan touched her chest, "I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling."

Luo Qianqian didn’t say anything; she didn’t feel anything, perhaps because she ate too much, and she just quietly watched Qin Nuan.

"It’s like the calm before the storm," Qin Nuan sighed, looking up at the sky, only to be surprised that the sky had indeed darkened.

"Is your sixth sense related to meteorology?" Luo Qianqian also saw the dark clouds on the horizon, spreading in this direction, her eyes filled with solemnity: "Do you think it will thunder?"

"???" Qin Nuan looked puzzled.

Luo Qianqian shook her head and sighed, saying nothing, quickly returning to the dormitory with Qin Nuan.

Zhang Yun and Xiu Ran were already in the dormitory. Cong Rong was still at the library studying, and nobody knew where Cao Yingying had gone.

When Zhang Yun saw the two return, she jumped up excitedly: "Did you go to see the handsome guys play basketball? It was so cool, especially that foreign hottie."

As she spoke, she took out her phone.

Luo Qianqian had a notion before she looked at her phone, but after checking it, she was certain.

Wasn’t the sports-playing youth on the mobile screen none other than Elvis?

"Pretty handsome," Luo Qianqian mumbled, nodding vaguely.

Her mind, however, was already churning with shock and bewilderment. What was going on? The distance from the basketball court to the academic affairs office wasn’t far at all, so it made no sense to specifically go to the school entrance to snoop around, right? And with the crowd in the photo packed as densely as three layers inside and out, there couldn’t possibly be nobody who understood what he was saying, could there?

So, Elvis had gone out of his way to wait for her and Qin Nuan. She just didn’t know whom he was targeting specifically.

After seeing the photo, Qin Nuan also connected the dots with many thoughts, her expression darkening slightly. She remembered that just before, the youth had been looking directly at her, but his attention seemed to have always been on Luo Qianqian out of the corner of his eye. So, this person was targeting Luo Qianqian!

Thinking this, she looked at Luo Qianqian, who also turned to her, and with one glance, they knew what the other was thinking.

Luo Qianqian bit her lip tightly. What about her was worth such attention from so many people?

"Boom!!!" A clap of thunder burst forth from nowhere.

Luo Qianqian shuddered and quickly climbed onto Qin Nuan’s bed, covering her head with the blanket and pillow, while Qin Nuan and the others didn’t have time to react.

She waited until the noise had stopped before she frantically took out her earphones and MP3, turned up the volume, and then slowly crawled back to her own bed. Listening to the clamorous music in her ears, Luo Qianqian couldn’t afford to be picky and just lay there calmly, her eyes open. Whenever a flash of white light appeared outside the window, she’d grab the blanket and cover her head again.

Qin Nuan found Luo Qianqian’s behavior somewhat amusing and, after closing the window, said to Zhang Yun and Xiu Ran with a smile, "I didn’t expect her to have such a childish side." Shaking her head, her face was a picture of helplessness. Outside, the rain finally poured down, the oppressive dark sky adding to the gloom.

Xiu Ran and Zhang Yun covered their mouths to laugh, as indeed, such fears were more common in children and didn’t seem so scary when you’re grown-up.

But Qin Nuan was surprised that beneath Luo Qianqian’s mature psychological age, she was afraid of thunder; however, she kept those thoughts to herself and simply saw her as a child.

"Speaking of which, it’s suddenly pouring down. I wonder if Cong Rong brought an umbrella?" Qin Nuan frowned, looking worriedly outside. She pulled out her phone to send a message, but then she heard Cong Rong’s phone ring from underneath the pillow.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She glanced at Luo Qianqian, sighed, and took out her own umbrella, "You all rest up. I’ll go pick her up. Otherwise, if she’s late for class and gets caught in the rain, it won’t be good."

Zhang Yun nodded. Qin Nuan then took Cong Rong’s phone with her as she left, so that Cong Rong wouldn’t call her own phone for help later, not knowing where she was on the road. After all, the only phone number Cong Rong could remember by heart was her own.

Seeing Luo Qianqian buried under the blanket, not wanting to see the lightning, and drawing the bed curtains close, Zhang Yun and Xiu Ran didn’t say much and lay back down on their beds.

Soon after, Cao Yingying came back, completely drenched. Seeing the two in bed, she fumed with frustration: "If I’d known you were in the dorm, I would’ve asked you to bring me an umbrella. This is just my bad luck."

Zhang Yun glanced at her sideways and continued to play with her phone, facing the wall.

Xiu Ran showed no reaction and kept her eyes closed.

Luo Qianqian stayed completely hidden under the blanket because she didn’t want to see the lightning, and had drawn the bed curtain as well.

Cao Yingying looked at her two roommates and huffed, "Don’t expect me to help you when you run into something like this in the future!"

"Thanks for your concern; we’ll definitely remember to carry an umbrella with us," Zhang Yun retorted sarcastically, with a scoff.

Thanks to Cao Yingying’s loose lips, everyone in the dormitory thereafter kept a folding umbrella in their bags—items they would never take out usually—but they did come in handy quite often.
