"It’s you! It was you who kicked! Everyone saw it!" The scene was eerily quiet, yet Shen Qi, driven mad with anger, was still heedlessly pointing at Zhen Yu and shouting!
The Dormitory Aunt, who had dealt with all kinds of rowdy kids over the years managing a building full of girls, could tell at a glance that what Shen Qi was saying was true.
But even though she knew Zhen Yu was lying, she was powerless to do anything about it! It was evident to anyone looking! No one present would stand up and testify for Shen Qi!
Because they were all afraid of that girl!!!
Could it be that Zhen Yu was truly a murderer? No, no, no! That definitely couldn’t be true!
In the quiet Water Room, Shen Qi’s resentful accusations echoed continuously, and after the Dormitory Aunt listened for a bit and concluded there was nothing useful to be heard, she spoke up to stop her: "Alright! Stop quarreling! Both of you, come with me!"
Shen Qi closed her mouth, aggrieved, and was ready to follow the Dormitory Aunt out of the Water Room. Yet Zhen Yu raised the camouflage uniform in her hand and said, "Teacher! I need to wear this for military training tomorrow! Can I use your washing machine to spin-dry it?"
The crowd of onlooking girls: "..."
She was about to be pulled aside for a talk and she’s still worrying about someone else’s washing machine?
Her nerve is just too big...
The Dormitory Aunt was rather speechless, too.
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, this was the kind of thing that she must do to help a student! So she could only nod, "Hmm, go ahead and bring your clothes!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Zhen Yu thanked her while swiftly wringing out three items of clothing from the basin! Then she carried the basin of clothes over to the Dormitory Aunt, bowed slightly, and said: "Sorry to keep you waiting! We can go now!"
"...So you knew I was waiting for you!" muttered the Dormitory Aunt.
The result of the reprimand—was that there was no result.
But after the Dormitory Aunt had sent Shen Qi away first, Zhen Yu, left alone, had to come clean and explain the origins of the bloodstains on the clothes!
The Dormitory Aunt felt a bit sentimental about it, perhaps remembering the difficulties of giving birth herself. After sighing about how being a mother isn’t easy, she comforted Zhen Yu a few words.
"Child, take it easy! Since the surgery was a success, it means your mother has successfully overcome this hurdle! Don’t get ’worked up’ over this anymore!"
The Dormitory Aunt hinted subtly at her with her words, and Zhen Yu got the message. She nodded amicably and made a promise in kind.
Just in time before the lights out, she returned to the dormitory.
No sooner had Zhen Yu lain down and closed her eyes on her bed than she heard someone calling her!
Zhen Yu quickly turned her head to look towards the opposite bunk!
Hu Xi shrank her neck under the scrutiny of Zhen Yu’s hawk-like gaze before plucking up the courage to say, "The instructor said we would begin group morning runs starting tomorrow!"
Zhen Yu’s gaze softened a bit, "Thank you! May I ask what time we assemble?"
Zhang Zhe suddenly interjected: "Six o’clock!"
After uttering these two words, she suddenly burst into exaggerated wails as if her acupoint had been pressed, "Ah! That’s too much! Don’t they let people live?! So early! Who can get up at that time!"
Amidst her howling, Zhang Lili suddenly lost it, "If you can’t get up, set an alarm! What time is it and you’re still howling! Won’t you let people sleep!"
The room fell silent.
After a while, the lights went out.
The night passed without words.
The next day, as usual, Zhen Yu went downstairs at 5:30 AM, and sure enough, she saw Han Mingyue already waiting there.
Zhen Yu said directly, "Starting today, let’s not do our own morning runs! We’ll talk about it after military training is over!"
Han Mingyue nodded, "That’s what I thought too! I was just worried you didn’t know about the group morning run."
"That’s good." Han Mingyue said as she reached out and touched Zhen Yu’s sleeve, then she asked in surprise: "It dried overnight?"
"I borrowed the Dormitory Aunt’s washing machine for a spin!" Zhen Yu explained while also lifting her hand to touch Han Mingyue’s hem, then frowned, "How can you wear it when it’s still not dry?"
"No worries! I didn’t wash it all, just the front is a bit damp!"
Zhen Yu didn’t quite believe it and raised her hand to feel around the pocket area on the front of Han Mingyue’s chest.
She remembered that when he held her yesterday, the bloodstain had been transferred there.
Han Mingyue’s ears instantly turned red! "Stop touching randomly!"
While speaking, he quickly glanced at the Dormitory Aunt inside the room near the entrance! At this moment, she was constantly peering out through the glass windows!
"?" Zhen Yu was baffled by Han Mingyue’s words!
Stop touching randomly? Touching what?!
After exchanging a look with Han Mingyue, Zhen Yu understood.
Then her gaze changed...
No way! Han Mingyue, you’re not a girl! Are you afraid of being touched on the chest?!
After reading her gaze, Han Mingyue suddenly fell silent and avoided Zhen Yu’s eyes, the redness spreading from his ears to his cheeks.
Freshmen girls with an enthusiastic attitude were already heading out of the dormitory building, and most of them couldn’t help but take an extra look at Han Mingyue, such a handsome guy standing by the entrance of the girls’ dorm.
Even some braver girls simply grouped together not far away, pointing and whispering among themselves about him and Zhen Yu, occasionally laughing and chatting.
Han Mingyue was not used to such spectacles! In a few seconds, his reddened face turned as black as the bottom of a pot! He had to turn his body to avoid those scorching gazes.
Unfortunately, the effect wasn’t very good.
And after seeing this scene, Zhen Yu suddenly felt a faint twinge of jealousy!
But more than that, she was annoyed!
So without a second thought, she said to Han Mingyue: "Wait for me!" Then without waiting for his response, she turned and quickly ran up the stairs!
Taking advantage of the deserted stairway corner, she quickly took out a men’s hooded sweater that she had prepared in advance from her space!
Zhen Yu, who had only spat out the surname, suddenly swallowed back the words "Ming Yue" because she didn’t want others to know his name at this moment!
"Hm?" Han Mingyue approached Zhen Yu, tilting his head in confusion.
So cute! So adorable!
"He’s mine!" Zhen Yu thought sourly and fiercely to herself!
Then she immediately brought her hand from behind her back to the front! "Quick, go back to your room and change your clothes! I’ll wait for you!"
Although he didn’t know why Zhen Yu asked him to change clothes at this time, Han Mingyue always let her have her way in such small matters, so he obediently took the clothes and went back to the boys’ dorm.
It wasn’t until after changing his clothes that Han Mingyue understood Zhen Yu’s intention!
The first three words that came to mind were, "Hmph... jealous!"
To speak is to speak, to laugh is to laugh! Yet, he still put on the hat! And decided from then on he would try not to take it off, so as not to be upset by others looking at him, and so Zhen Yu wouldn’t be upset either.
