Chapter 73: Midnight Horror and a Complaint

Chapter 73: Midnight Horror and a Complaint

At three in the morning, a rustling sound came from the dimly lit dormitory.

Zhou Zhou frowned, unconsciously turned over, his face towards the edge of the bed.

The “creak, creak” sound was close to his ear. Zhou Zhou twitched his ear, slowly opened his eyes, and met a pair of dark, shiny eyes.

“Ahhh!” A scream broke the silence, echoing throughout the entire dormitory building.

“You psycho, yelling and screaming like a ghost in the middle of the night!” A violent shout came from downstairs.

Chen Qihang woke up instantly, the biscuit in his hand fell to the ground. He opened his bewildered eyes, looked around, and found himself standing next to Zhou Zhou’s bed.

Zhou Zhou sat up with lingering fear, patting his chest wildly and complaining, “Chen Qihang, you really have sleepwalking!”

Qu Minghui and Lin Sheng were also awakened, looking at Chen Qihang with mixed feelings. “Hanghang, this is really scary. How about we handcuff you or tie you up with a rope when you sleep from now on?”

“I don’t want to either.” Chen Qihang said with a dejected face, bending down to pick up the biscuit on the ground, sighing, “Maybe I’m hungry.”

Zhou Zhou rubbed his forehead in a headache, “I thought there were rats in the dorm, having a rave party on my bed.”

“Looks like you’re hopelessly in love with Su Wanxing, even sleepwalking you want to run to find her.”

Chen Qihang had some biscuit crumbs on the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand to wipe it off, ignored Zhou Zhou, climbed onto the bed and lay down.

The phone placed on the bedside suddenly lit up. He picked it up and looked at it. It was Qin Yang.

Sending him a message at three in the morning was also awesome.

[Qin Yang: Just woke up from a nightmare, can’t wait to share it with you.]

Chen Qihang only read it without replying, after all, if he didn’t sleep in the middle of the night, it would definitely arouse the other party’s suspicion.

[Qin Yang: I dreamed that you came to my wedding to cause trouble.]

Chen Qihang rolled his eyes, thinking, am I so stupid to rob your wife?

[Qin Yang: The one you robbed wasn’t the bride, nor the bridesmaid, but me.]

[Qin Yang: I woke up instantly!]

Chen Qihang’s mouth twitched wildly, and he couldn’t help but reply.

[Chen Qihang: You must be thinking about me day and night to dream like that, don’t tell me you’re secretly plotting against me.]

Qin Yang replied almost instantly.

[Qin Yang: It’s 3:10 in the morning, and you actually replied to my message?]

[Chen Qihang: Had a nightmare, scared awake by a ghost.]

[Qin Yang: So miserable, so timid? I’ll take you to a haunted house next time to build up your courage.]

[Chen Qihang: Are you kidding me?! To tell you the truth, I’ve been to haunted houses no less than ten thousand times!]

Qin Yang, bare-chested, revealing his solid and well-defined eight-pack abs, leaned against the head of the bed, holding his phone in one hand and quickly replying to the message. His emerald green eyes were full of smiles, and he whispered, “How can there be such a cute person.”

[Qin Yang: Hahaha, so cute, are you still half asleep? Did you misspell it? Ten thousand times, really.]

Chen Qihang directly ignored this message.

[Chen Qihang: By the way, did you catch my spirit pet!]

[Qin Yang: Wronged, it came over by itself!]

[Chen Qihang: Hehe, do you think I’ll believe you? There’s no such setting for spirit pets at all!]

[Qin Yang: I want it to “hehe xiu hehe xiu” with my Beibei, and give birth to a litter of little spirit pets.]

[Chen Qihang: They’re both male, can they “hehe xiu”?]

[Qin Yang: Just thinking about it makes me sad (feeling wronged)]

Chen Qihang and Qin Yang chatted and slowly closed their eyes, unable to withstand the drowsiness and fell asleep again.

The phone screen stayed lit for a full five minutes before dimming.

Zhou Zhou, who was in the lower bunk, couldn’t fall asleep after being awakened by him. He tossed and turned, listening to Qu Minghui’s loud snoring, until dawn.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the dormitory management office began to play deafening music, which startled him and made him blurt out a curse.

A minute later, the dormitory aunt’s not-so-standard Mandarin came out, “Good morning, students. Some students have complained that a certain dormitory made loud noises in the middle of the night, causing a great impact on them. With the approval of the school, we are here to publicly criticize the problematic dormitory.”

“All the male students in dormitory 606, please go to Director Yao’s office before 8:00 a.m. to accept punishment.”

A busy tone sounded, and the broadcast was turned off.

The surroundings fell into silence.

Lin Sheng rubbed his eyes and sat up, yawning, seemingly not hearing what the dormitory aunt said. He asked, “I just heard dormitory 606? Did our dormitory do something good?”

Zhou Zhou sat up with two huge dark circles under his eyes, and said quietly, “I don’t know which grandson reported us.”

Chen Qihang scratched his chicken coop head, “No need to guess, it must be those grandsons downstairs.”

Lin Sheng didn’t understand, and asked, “What’s going on? We were reported?”

“Go to Director Yao’s before eight o’clock.” Chen Qihang got up and got out of bed, with a hint of guilt on his face.

If it weren’t for his sleepwalking, this young master Zhou wouldn’t have screamed in horror in the middle of the night.

Lin Sheng’s face darkened and he cursed, “The dormitory downstairs is from C1 class, right? That someone is in C1 class.”

Zhou Zhou asked, “Who is that someone?”

Lin Sheng replied, “That athletic student who likes you.”

Zhou Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile, and said in a drawn-out tone, “Oh—taking the opportunity to retaliate, is it.”

“We’ll go down and beat him to death later!” Lin Sheng jumped down from the upper bunk, making a loud “thump” sound.

The people downstairs instantly started cursing, “Are you tearing down the building!”

Lin Sheng ran to the balcony and roared downwards, “Can’t you speak properly? And resorting to petty tricks, are you a man! If you have any complaints, come up and fight.”

“You idiot, I’ll just complain, so what? Angry? Want to hit someone? Then come down, who’s afraid of you! A bunch of trash!” A sharp male voice rang out on the balcony downstairs.

Qu Minghui slept as soundly as a pig, not awakened by the noise, his snoring faint.

Finally, seeming to hold his breath, he sat up in one go, patted his chest, and made a huge “gurgling” sound, finally waking up.

Zhou Zhou glanced at him, and said in a serious tone, “Huihui, you seem to have obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, take it easy, go to the otolaryngology department when you have time.”

Qu Minghui didn’t take it seriously, uh-huhing, seeing Lin Sheng arguing fiercely with the dormitory downstairs, and after asking the reason, he instantly flew into a rage, “Just hearing that voice, I know it’s Zhu Li, the sissy from C1 class. Last time he sat next to Fu Chenye at the late-night snack stall, I heard he’s been pursuing Fu Chenye.”

Chen Qihang revealed a bewildered expression, “Too convoluted, don’t understand.”

Qu Minghui stroked his chin, and said definitively, “Zhu Li probably knows that Fu Chenye likes Zhou Zhou, so he’s retaliating at any opportunity.”

Zhou Zhou’s eyelids twitched wildly, a chill Flowing his heart, how come there are homosexuals everywhere.

“Black Forest, stop scolding, we’ll go down and kill him later!” Qu Minghui got up and walked out of the balcony, pulling the enthusiastically scolding Lin Sheng back into the dormitory.

Lin Sheng picked up his thermos cup and took a big gulp of water, asking with a hoarse voice, “Then what about later, do we have to go to Lao Yao’s?”

“Let’s go, Lao Yao is more vengeful, has a small mind, it’s best not to offend him.” Chen Qihang washed up, changed his clothes, picked up his backpack and prepared to walk out of the dormitory.

“Hanghang, it’s only seven o’clock now, where are you going?” Zhou Zhou glanced at the time, it was still early before eight o’clock.

“Eating breakfast.” As soon as he said that, he regretted it.

Zhou Zhou’s eyes flickered slightly, with a non-smiling expression, “That’s just right, get me a fried noodles, remember to put more chili.”

Chen Qihang reluctantly “oh”ed.

He opened the dormitory door, and just stepped out, he saw Fu Chenye leaning against the wall next to him, and stopped in his tracks.

“What are you doing here?”

Fu Chenye shook the lunch box in his hand, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, revealing a charming smile, “Fried noodles delivered to your door.”

He bypassed Chen Qihang, walked to the door, cleared his throat and shouted, “Classmate Zhou Zhou, I’m here to formally apologize to you.”
