“Here, this is your dormitory, although classes B and C are on the same floor, the treatment is worlds apart.”
“The curtains are all of the finest materials imported from outside, the beds are all custom made of solid wood, and the rooms not only have separate bathrooms and bathing spaces, but the balconies are also made to separate wet and dry, with enough washing machines and dryers.”
“The desk is also equipped with a printer, and the air conditioning is at your disposal.”
Teacher Zhao led Bai Lixin to the dormitory as he patiently explained the configuration inside, “Your school uniform has been made and placed on your bed. There are three sets in total; rest assured, the material is also the highest grade, will not fade, and you can directly wash it in the washing machine.”
“The school will try to meet all material necessities for Class A, but there is one requirement: grab every opportunity to study.”
“Class A students leave the school building at 9:40 p.m, you will only have 20 minutes to wash up, go to bed at 10 p.m., and arrive in class at 4 a.m. sharp to study.”
“This is all scientifically calculated, you only need 5 hours to get enough sleep, a lunch break of 1 hour, and about 6 hours for evening study.”
Su Fan and Bai Lixin’s chaperones followed behind Teacher Zhao in silence.
Originally, this job of introducing the dormitory should have been given to Bai Lixin’s chaperone teacher, but he didn’t want to go forward, so Teacher Zhao, as the class teacher, had to take over.
Bai Lixin stood at the entrance of the dormitory, looked at Teacher Zhao, and suddenly asked, “Teacher Zhao, how does it feel now that you have been promoted from class C to class A?”
Teacher Zhao froze for a moment and said, “It feels pretty good.”
Bai Lixin: “So are you satisfied?”
Teacher Zhao looked at Bai Lixin in surprise, his tone trembling. “You, what are you talking about?”
Bai Lixin: “Doesn’t Class A have a points system as well?”
“I could get you promoted from class C to class B and from class B to class A, would you believe me if I said that I could also get you promoted from class A?”
Teacher Zhao gulped, greed gradually staining his dark gaze, and he opened his mouth, “Dad!”
Bai Lixin almost stumbled, but he held on to the door frame: “……”
Fuck, what did he want to say next?
“Forget it, I forgot what I was going to say, let’s talk about it tomorrow,” Bai Lixin rubbed his brow, “Is the situation in Class B stable? Have any other students suddenly disappeared into thin air?”
Teacher Zhao: “Class B is now reduced to 20-25 people per class and will not change again. Actually, the classes only have 19 people after moving some students to the fifth floor, it’s within the safe range, so the disappearances will not happen again.”
Maybe this student called Bai Lixin might actually be able to help him go from class A and into management. It was surprising that he had sensed that class B students were disappearing, something that no one else had noticed.
Teacher Zhao looked at Bai Lixin eagerly and exclaimed earnestly, “Bai Lixin, just ask if you need anything.”
Bai Lixin: “What are the conditions to advance from Class A?”
Teacher Zhao: ” It would be a great honor for Wensong High School to get first place in the city’s exams this time, so I might be in the management by the time classes are divided again!”
“Bai Lixin, with your intelligence, you might actually get first place, should I force the issue and get you an official spot?”
Bai Lixin: “I think I understand, there’s no rush on this, we’ll discuss it later.”
Teacher Zhao was anxious: “How can you not be in a hurry? It’s two days until the competition, didn’t you say you could send me to management?”
Bai Lixin hesitated, saying, “But I haven’t thought about what I want you to do for me.”
Teacher Zhao said urgently, “You can think about it later, I’ll only have more power when I’m in management, and I can do more for you. As long as you can send me to management, I’ll help you in any way I can as it’s something I can do, okay?”
Su Fan and Bai Lixin glanced at each other, then Bai Lixin nodded with embarrassment, “Alright then, I’ll do my best, Teacher Zhao.”
After sending Teacher Zhao away, Bai Lixin closed the door.
Su Fan spoke with amusement, “Were you playing hard to get?”
Bai Lixin: “To be more precise, it’s throwing a line to catch a big fish.”
Su Fan: “You are really….you stir up the NPCs wherever you go. Why don’t you play according to common sense?”
“Are you a game rebel?”
Bai Lixin casually took off his jacket and remained in the half sleeve, although other dorms also had separate bathrooms, they were far worse than Class A.
“You can also think of it as a rebellious mentality,” Bai Lixin said as he walked into the bathroom with a change of clothes and a towel. He walked to the door and turned back to Su Fan, “but my intuition tells me that following the rules will only lead to losing, breaking the rules will lead to winning.”
“Rules are set out by the game developer for the gamers.”
“The gamers should have participated in the game of their own volition. But this game is not, it forcibly pulls people in, and that alone is unethical.”
“Such an unethical game sets out rules that seem fair, but they only serve the other side. The gamers are bent on following the rules, if they don’t break the barricades around the rules …”
Bai Lixin pondered for a few seconds, seemingly organizing his words, “Let’s take an analogy, ants ecological box. We are ants that look like we are constantly expanding territory and getting stronger in the eco box, but no matter how hard we try, we will never be able to get out of the thick eco box around us.”
“This is exactly like the game lobby, so what if you are the queen ant, so what if you reach the 999th floor of the tower!”
“By following the rules, we will never be able to turn over the five-finger mountain.”
Su Fan was taken aback after hearing this, his eyes suddenly darkened, and with a few steps, he walked to Bai Lixin and pushed him into the bathroom.
His back was pressed against the cold tiles of the wall, the bathroom was unlit, and only the light from the dormitory shone in vaguely, giving a little light to the narrow space.
The man looked down at the young man, completely shrouded in shadow, and whispered, “You know?”
You know it’s me?
He did not say what Bai Lixin knew, but he was certain that Bai Lixin could understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Bai Lixin nodded his head and admitted it.
Su Fan breathed heavily, “When did you know?”
‘I’ve been holding back and hiding for so long, yet you knew about it already?’
Bai Lixin dodged his eyes and said, “Uh, probably the moment you entered the school gate.”
Su Fan froze, “So you knew, but kept pretending not to know? And watched me….go at it with him?”
Was it fun to watch the drama?
Bai Lixin’s eyes twinkled, “So? It’s not like I had the chance to say it?”
“Heh.” Su Fan kicked the bathroom door shut. The light disappeared, and darkness suddenly enveloped the narrow bathroom.
The sound of clothes rustling resounded in the darkness, and Su Fan’s suppressed voice rang out, “So tell me, is it better with me, or that Dr. Dijia?”
Bai Lixin was panting, “That…. there’s no difference, right?”
Su Fan: “No, you have to choose one, do you know how angry I was yesterday?”
“The tiger was bullied by the dog, damn it!”
Bai Lixin: “If he’s a dog, what are you?”
Su Fan’s thigh separated Bai Lixin’s legs and went to the wall behind him, “Still playing tricks on me, do you think I won’t show you what I am now?”
“Were you only angry yesterday?” Bai Lixin’s sticky voice rang out softly, scratching Su Fan’s heart like a cat’s claw. “I could see it, don’t think I’m blind.”
The husky voice rang out, “Heh, it seems my soul fragment is not good enough, it couldn’t distract you from observing my expression. So tell me, what else was I feeling?”
The atmosphere in the air grew more and more ambiguous as Su Fan’s hand held Bai Lixin’s waistline and slowly moved down.
Just as it was about to slide to his lap, there was a sudden knock on the door to the dormitory.
Su Fan: “……”
What blind thing dares to spoil Loazi’s good time? I’ll kill them!
