Chapter 104: Chapter 103 Happy Birthday
Ling Feng’s peripheral vision caught sight of the blanket, and he suddenly blinked, rubbing his eyes as he said, “Gu Huai, am I seeing things? Is there… something moving under your blanket?”
Gu Huai spoke expressionlessly, “You’re mistaken. Get down.”
Ling Feng scratched his head and subconsciously stood up. Accompanying his action, the frail bed frame squeaked again.
“I’m mistaken? But it seemed like it really did move… Your blanket looks a bit weird… Why is it bulging like that… And what’s with this bed… It creaks as if it’s about to collapse just with two people sitting on it…”
No sooner had Gu Huai finished speaking than the bed truly could no longer bear the weight, cracking sharply as it tilted towards the outside.
The next second, Ling Feng watched, eyes wide, as Gu Huai’s blanket, due to the bed’s collapse, rolled a bit towards the outside and then began to squirm.
...
It wriggled and wriggled, and then “poof” — a head popped out…
Soon after, Qi Yue emerged from under the blanket with a slightly startled expression, sleepy-eyed…
Ling Feng could have never anticipated that an actual living person would suddenly emerge from Gu Huai’s bed. The moment a head appeared from under the blanket, he screamed in terror, staggered back three steps, and then plopped down on the floor.
“Ah—”
“Ahh—”
“Ahhh—”
On Gu Huai’s bed, Qi Yue crawled out, still half asleep, her eyes not yet fully open, draped in half the blanket, her hair a bit frizzy from static as she just emerged, still clutching a few sugar-roasted chestnuts that Gu Huai had given her but she hadn’t finished eating…
Under the bed, Ling Feng’s butt went numb from the fall, his eyes dead set on the person on Gu Huai’s bed, scared out of his wits.
One second…
Two seconds…
Three seconds…
All of a sudden, Qi Yue jolted, finally realizing where she was, and instantly woke up.
Qi Yue stared at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng stared back at her.
The two stared blankly at each other, both faces showing utter bewilderment.
The scene was completely silent.
Qi Yue stiffly turned her head, looking at Gu Huai beside her with a desire to cry but no tears to shed: “…”
What to do…
What to do…!?
She’d never expected, after hiding for so long without being discovered, that she would end up exposing herself!
She had accidentally fallen asleep, and the sudden shake of the bed had startled her awake. Still half-asleep and forgetting where she was, she sat up, and then, disaster struck…
How could she have expected that just sleeping would result in the bed collapsing!
Gu Huai, with downcast eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, his expression also quite a mix of laughter and helplessness. He reached out a hand to weakly support Qi Yue, preventing the already tilted bed from completely collapsing.
Jiang Lang, munching on the last duck head, heard Ling Feng’s screams, and commented sarcastically, “What are you yelling for? Did Gu Huai beat you up for trying to be kind? I’m telling you, even if he beat you, you would’ve deserved it!”
“It’s not me… it’s her… her… her…,” Ling Feng, sitting on the ground, tremblingly pointed at the person behind Gu Huai, unable to utter a complete sentence.
“Have you gone crazy? What’s wrong with Gu Huai?” Jiang Lang, seeing Ling Feng’s haunted expression, walked over to Gu Huai’s bed while holding the duck head.
Then, Jiang Lang saw the “major change in a living person” on Gu Huai’s bed.
He also realized that the “her” Ling Feng was referring to was not Gu Huai.
So, the two bewildered faces became three.
In such a situation, Qi Yue didn’t know what to say, thought for a long time, and finally said, “Happy Birthday… The cake was quite delicious…”
Jiang Lang’s duck head dropped to the ground with a “plunk”: “…”
The next second, a scream identical to Ling Feng’s filled the dormitory, “Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!”
