Chapter 157: 157 My sleep is quite shallow _1

She didn’t doubt for a moment that the silver needles were Lu Qingyi’s handiwork, though she found it hard to believe that Lu Qingyi was that capable.

"I wouldn’t do this to myself,"

Lu Qingyi took a bookmark out of the drawer, then turned to look at Lin Xiaoni.

She subtly curled the corners of her lips, her expression a mix of a smile and a smirk.

There was nothing she wasn’t proud to admit.

"Sister, look up at the sky, lots of cows are flying."

Chen Xuejie stood next to Lin Xiaoni, she gently smiled and spoke.

The accuracy of the silver needles was not something an ordinary person could match. How could Lu Qingyi, a mere student, be so capable.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Lu Qingyi took out a piece of black cloth from the drawer, held by a disposable elastic band. She removed the band, unfolded the cloth, revealing a row of shiny silver needles.

Lin Xiaoni and Chen Xuejie were both shocked, looking at Lu Qingyi in disbelief.

How could this be possible?

"Lu Qingyi, you’re sick!"

Lin Xiaoni, pointing at Lu Qingyi, started shouting.

"I warned you about your hand."

Lu Qingyi took a silver needle, flipping it playfully in her hand, her voice cold as ice.

Any pain was self-inflicted.

Lin Xiaoni, fearful, lowered her hand. The look she gave Lu Qingyi was filled with hostility.

If looks could kill, Lu Qingyi wouldn’t know how many times she would have been killed by Lin Xiaoni.

"What deep grudge could there be between classmates? We’re about to share the same dorm for the next four years. Can’t you put your differences aside?"

Chen Xuejie, acting like a negotiator, spoke calmly, her eyes fixed on Lu Qingyi.

She was slightly afraid on the inside.

"Ever heard of a Vernier Caliper?"

Lu Qingyi, eyes lowered to her silver needles, asked with a slight laugh.

Chen Xuejie: "Isn’t that a tool for physics experiments?"

All science students are familiar with the Vernier Caliper. Chen Xuejie was confused why Lu Qingyi would mention it.

"The Vernier Caliper gives precise measurements."

Jiang Yumeng walked to Lu Qingyi’s side, calmly speaking her words.

Jiang Yumeng, not having lived in a high school dormitory, naturally didn’t know that Lu Qingyi had mentioned this before.

"You all can consider me a Vernier Caliper."

Lu Qingyi smirked, addressing Lin Xiaoni and Chen Xuejie.

Roommates, spending the next four years together?

Ha!

Jiang Yumeng: "..."

Lin Xiaoni: "..."

Chen Xuejie: "..."

They didn’t understand what Lu Qingyi was implying.

"I’m not lonely, I don’t need friends, so there’s no need to get along with you."

As Lu Qingyi spoke, her gaze fell on Lin Xiaoni and Chen Xuejie.

"That’s right, Lu Qingyi, all you need is a man. Who needs friends?"

Lin Xiaoni scoffed. She still believed that Lu Qingyi and Wei Song had an improper relationship.

"Heh..."

Lu Qingyi let out a cold laugh. With a slight flick of her wrist, the silver needle in her hand flew straight into the bedpost behind Lin Xiaoni.

Lin Xiaoni was petrified, she sank to the ground, not daring to utter a word.

That needle had just flown straight over her head, brushing her hair along the way.

That precision... Lin Xiaoni’s look towards Lu Qingyi had changed.

If that needle was a bit lower, she might be dead.

Chen Xuejie tried to pull out the needle, but failed - it was embedded too deeply.

The power behind Lu Qingyi’s throw was immense.

"Finally, I’ve told you, my man is off-limits to you."

Lu Qingyi tossed the novel into the drawer and then climbed onto the bed.

Lin Xiaoni and Chen Xuejie watched, wide-eyed, as Lu Qingyi climbed onto the bed, neither of them daring to say a word.

Lu Qingyi, she was really too terrifying.

"Don’t disturb my sister Qing when she’s sleeping," Jiang Yumeng said as she, too, climbed onto the bed.

Good heavens, her sister Qing was so cool, she was definitely going to stick close to Lu Qingyi from now on. She quickly pulled out her phone to tell Luo Jia about the situation.

Such things definitely needed to be shared, except that Luo Jia was all the way at Beijing University.

"Quiet, I’m a light sleeper, and I’m not pleasant when I’m woken up," Qingyi said as she lay in bed, a silver needle tucked between her fingers.

Lin Xiaoni and Chen Xuejie were angry but didn’t dare to confront her.

Chen Xuejie slowly retreated to her own bed while Lin Xiaoni went to the infirmary.

——

In the afternoon military training, Lu Qingyi just showed up at the drill ground as a mere formality, and the instructor, Mr. Li, didn’t dare to criticize her.

"Lu Qingyi, have you mastered the squad drills yet? This is a matter concerning the collective honor," Instructor Li, while lightly coughing, asked Qingyi.

This was also a competition and as part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, Qiingyi really should participate.

Lu Qingyi: "I have."

It was precisely because she had mastered it that she had this bold idea of not wanting to train.

"Show it to me."

"Uh-huh."

"On my command, attention, at ease, right turn, left turn, about face, march in time, double march, mark time, halt, squat, stand up, straddle, salute, finish your salute..."

Instructor Li was busy chanting the commands, and Qingyi was following along, her movements were crystal clear and astoundingly standard.

"She’s so precise."

"She looks so cool when she does these movements."

"I can’t believe I’m worse than a girl."

"She looks so much like a soldier, all her movements are so exact."

"Why do I feel like she’s even more precise than Instructor Li?"

"..."

Instructor Li was somewhat surprised, he had not expected that Qingyi could execute these movements so precisely.

"Would you be interested in joining the army?" Instructor Li asked.

Qingyi was truly a rare talent, a promising seedling.

Lazily raising her eyelids, Qingyi replied, "Not interested."

Being a soldier seems exhausting, and it wouldn’t guarantee her abundant sleep.

"During the squad drills, you can stand on the side or rest."

Instructor Li commented.

Qingyi knew all the drills. He wouldn’t dare to demand more, not to mention he couldn’t defeat Qingyi.

"Okay then, I’m going."

With no courtesies, Qingyi picked up her water bottle and headed towards the rest area.

The weather was rather hot and she was longing for an ice cream bar. She left her bottle in the rest area and leisurely walked towards the supermarket.

In colleges, they don’t call it a grocery store anymore; it’s a supermarket with all kinds of supplies, including daily necessities.

"Keep it up."

Qingyi tore open the ice cream wrapper, leisurely headed back to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department with an ice cream in her mouth, and made a ’keep it up’ hand gesture.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Students: "..."

Inside, they only wanted to curse, especially at Qingyi.

Why did she have to tempt them with ice cream?

They just stared as Qingyi slowly made her way to the resting area while enjoying her ice cream.

They were green with envy. So this was what disparities felt like. Why had life treated them so differently?

While others were enjoying their ice cream and relaxing in the rest area, they could only withstand the scorching sun’s baptism.

Sigh, life was too hard.
