The more Jiao Chen coaxed her, the harder she cried . “She is not back yet and I don’t know where is she . ”
“Alright, stop crying . Follow me upstairs first . I’ll go get changed . ” Jiao Chen wiped her tears once more before holding her hand . He then led her into the dormitory .
Jiao Chen’s room was on the second floor . The boys’ dormitory seemed to be relatively messier than compared to the girls’, with a mountain of shoes stacked carelessly outside the door .
When they walked past the rooms, they heard loud snores and people playing games .
They reached his room and Jiao Chen unlocked his room door .
Su Yue was nervous and she whispered, “I’ll wait outside . Your roommate might be upset if I go in . ”
It was past midnight and a girl shouldn’t enter the boys’ dormitory . Even if she did nothing, it didn’t mean that others wouldn’t mind .
Jiao Chen lightly replied, “Don’t worry . He is already asleep . ”
“Oh . ” Su Yue pressed her lips and bent her head .
Jiao Chen watched her and pondered for a moment . “If you really don’t want to, then wait for me outside . I’ll go get a coat and change my shoes . ”
Su Yue glanced at the long corridor and changed her mind instantly . If someone came out and saw her, wouldn’t it look weirder if she stood outside?
She mumbled, “I think I’ll go inside . ”
Jiao Chen nodded and pushed the door open .
Su Yue followed him closely and entered . She was pleasantly surprised when she got inside .
It was clean and tidy . The rumors of the boys’ dormitory smelling like dirty socks were untrue .
The room structure was similar to theirs with the beds facing opposite each other . There were four desks, with two on each side of the room .
Someone was sleeping on the lower bunk of the bed, and the blanket covered him entirely . The other bed had a blanket that looked as though someone had flung it away .
Su Yue guessed that it must be Jiao Chen’s bed .
Jiao Chen grabbed his coat before walking to get his shoes .
He glanced at Su Yue and saw her standing stiffly there . He grinned and said, “I’ll be ready in a minute . ”
“Am I dreaming?”
The guy woke up and he sleepily rubbed his eyes . His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Su Yue . “Wow, the second I opened my eyes, a beauty is standing right in the room . ”
He sat upright and glanced at Jiao Chen, who was wearing his shoes . He teased him playfully . “Jiao Chen, look at you . Why didn’t you inform me you were bringing your wife back? Let me disappear so you guys can stay here . ”
Jiao Chen glared at him . “Go back to sleep . ”
“Don’t worry about me . I can look for my friend in another room,” the boy replied cheerfully as he grabbed a coat from his wardrobe . He then stood up .
Instinctively, Su Yue averted her face to avoid looking at him .
What if he was naked or only wearing his underwear?
Wouldn’t it be awkward?
The guy walked up to Su Yue and smiled at her . He threw Jiao Chen a fleeting glance before saying, “Jiao Chen, this room is all yours . I will stand guard outside and make sure no one gets in . ”
“Scram!” Jiao Chen’s face fell . He grabbed his slipper to hurl it at his roommate .
The roommate dodged it agilely before smiling smugly . “I have more in the drawer . But don’t use too many . ”
He grinned wickedly before he hastily fled .
“What was that?”
After Jiao Chen’s roommate left, Su Yue began to act more comfortably . She turned around and surveyed his room .
