I checked my watch and it was 11:15. Usually, it would already be lunch time if we were at school.
But most of the students were like me and ate snacks on the bus, so we weren’t really hungry.
The cla.s.s leader was the only one who didn’t eat anything on the way here.
Even teacher Yu ate a vacuum sealed pack of authentic stinky tofu. It caused an open s.p.a.ce around him where no one went, that bag of tofu was too authentic.
“I was planning to order a simple meal at the hotel and eat together with everyone…”
The cla.s.s leader was a bit dejected, in the end she was the only one who followed the rule of not eating on the bus.
“Cla.s.s leader, you’re hungry, right?” Loud Mouth ardently pa.s.sed over a bag of pickled chicken feet, “Eat some of this first.”
The cla.s.s leader’s face darkened when she saw the strange shaped: “Let’s wait until we get to the hotel first.”
After we reached the hotel behind the special education school, all the students curiously looked at our accommodations. As expected of a hotel that was transformed from a dormitory, there was basically no difference from a dormitory.
It was pretty far from many university dormitory, rather, it was much closer to a desolate military dormitory.
It was a small 15m2 (~160 sq ft) room. Inside was a small table with two camp beds and nothing else.
The washroom was in the hallway. There was a specialized shower area, but it could only support a max of 15 people and it had to be shared between s.e.xes.
Of course, we would use it at different times. Please do not misunderstand and think we had mixed baths.
In a long, poorly lit corridor, there were 15 rooms on each side of the hallways. It can accommodate a total of 60 residents, based on a capacity of 2 people per room.
It wasn’t an issue having 41 students and one teacher stay here. Anyway, according to the princ.i.p.al, there are basically no guests except for two entomologists who come every day in the summer to do their daily b.u.t.terfly catching.
At the entrance, we could see a somewhat outdated signboard: “Galaxy Inn”.
“Don’t make a mess, two people to a room. Find someone you get along with and line up here to get the key.”
The cla.s.s leader stood in the middle of the hallway while holding a bunch of keys.
Xiao Qin quickly raised her hand: “I want to be in the same room as Ye Lin cla.s.smate.”
“Only people of the same s.e.x can live in one room. The men on the left and the women on the right, understand?”
While everyone was still pondering over who to pair up with, Zhuang Ni walked up and grabbed the cla.s.s leader’s hand.
“Cla.s.s leader, we’re the same s.e.x, let’s live together. I’ll be gentle to you at night.”
The cla.s.s leader turned around and left Zhuang Ni hanging.
“We’re changing direction, line up here.”
Loud Mouth and Little Smart, were the first to get a pair of keys from the cla.s.s leader. They were closely followed by Xiong YaoYue pestering Gong CaiCai to share a room. Gong CaiCai shook her head vehemently in disagreement, then the cla.s.s leader finally decided to stay with Gong CaiCai which also destroyed Zhuang Ni’s hopes.
“You two might as well share a room.”
The cla.s.s leader pointed to Zhuang Ni and Xiong YaoYue, the two troublemakers.
Zhuang Ni shook her head, “Cla.s.s leader, you know I hate men.”
Hey, Xiong YaoYue is clearly a girl. You can’t treat her as a man just because she acts a bit manly.
Xiong YaoYue also felt similarly about Zhuang Ni. She still had her PSP in her hand as she said:
“Who wants to be together with her? She thinks it’s annoying any time I make a bit of noise, I would rather be with Ye Lin…”
Then she made a realization and shook her head: “No, wait, I can’t stay with them now anymore…”
A lot of people thought Xiong YaoYue was talking about Zhuang Ni, but the cla.s.s leader knew she was referring to me.
The cla.s.s leader’s hand that was holding the keys trembled and it rung out like wind chimes.
d.a.m.n, the cla.s.s leader misunderstood again. Xiong YaoYue meant she thought I was gay before, so it wasn’t a problem to live in the same room, but now she couldn’t anymore.
Her last words really made the cla.s.s leader have doubts.
It made it sound like that we’ve slept in the same room before, but you can’t do it in front of other students.
I’m innocent, I’ve never slept with her before.
I’m such an innocent young man that so far I’ve only slept with the cla.s.s leader, Xiao Qin, and my sister Ai Mi.
“Then Xiao Qin, let’s pair up.”
Xiong YaoYue settled for the next best thing and invited Xiao Qin.
Xiong YaoYue may have been pranked by Xiao Qin before, but she doesn’t really hold grudges. She also covered for us when she found out I was dating Xiao Qin, so Xiao Qin also began to think better of her.
“If the cla.s.s leader won’t let me stay with Ye Lin cla.s.smate, then we can room together…”
She even looked at me with reluctance when she agreed.
In the end, I was roomed together with Eunuch Cao.
It wasn’t really because I had a preference for him. I could have roomed with Niu ShiLi, but Eunuch Cao was too vulgar and no one wanted to be him. It was likely he was going to end up alone.
In this trip, the boys including the teacher totaled to 24 people. So we could have been a.s.signed to 12 rooms to reduce spending.
Also the cla.s.s leader had an original idea of a.s.signing the chameleon to the same room as the teacher. He had a weak presence anyway, so living with him was like living alone.
Which meant Eunuch Cao became a problem. The cla.s.s leader looked at me with resentment when she saw no one wanted to live with Eunuch Cao.
“Ye Lin, no plotting any nefarious schemes when living with Cao JingShen, understand?”
She said as if she was personally angry at me.
Eunuch Cao gladly ran over to me, “Master, I’ll pour you tea and make sure to serve you well.”
The cla.s.s leader had already decided, so I’ll live with this bad disciple of mines. He hasn’t really done anything out of line other than photo-shopping nude photos, at least none that I know of.
But once we entered our rooms to drop off our luggage, Eunuch Cao laughed while he took out a mobile power supply, a laptop, and a super small size camera that looked waterproof.
“Master.” Eunuch Cao boasted to me, “I borrowed it from me father. It’s a professional camera that was used in a j.a.panese AV series. It’s rare we get this good of an opportunity, I may get some candid shots and I will need master to review them first.”
“You disgrace, how could you plan something like this and you even want to show me first?”
“Well… it’s because the master’s wife, Xiao Qin, may be filmed in. A disciple can’t lay eyes on her holy body, so I need master to review the footage and remove all shots of her.”
So he was afraid of Xiao Qin and I retaliating? He even brought a laptop with editing tools and a power supply as backup.
In order to stop his plan, I could confiscate his camera right now. But he’s too sly and I can’t guarantee she doesn’t have a backup camera.
Why not let Eunuch Cao simply get caught in the act while he’s filming, then let them decide how to punish him.
If he does get lucky enough to not get caught, I’ll make sure to watch it from beginning to end and erase everything.
“Master.” Eunuch Cao suddenly curbed his vile smile and asked me more seriously.
“If I get a revealing video of Gong CaiCai… will she be threatened and agree to even more conditions?”
Because of his influence, I also thought about it seriously and replied:
“Maybe. Out of all the girls, Gong CaiCai definitely is the weakest and least experienced, so maybe she might really…”
“Jie jie jie jie.” Eunuch Cao laughed strangely, “Master, we will act according to plan, when the time comes…”
When the time comes my a.s.s. I gave Eunuch Cao’s head a hard knock. Stop discussing this to me as if we’re two characters in a H game.
