Chapter 79: One day as captain, one lifetime as captain
Lin Sui said sincerely, "I wasn't pretending. I just really envy how much motivation you've put in."
She was just being withdrawn a moment ago, but now she's all excited again. Isn't that a mindset to be envied?
Besides...
Lin Sui looked at the single bed, which was only big enough for one person, and then at Si Xingran: "Are you sure this bed is big?"
"Isn't this big enough?" Si Xingran said seriously. "It's big enough for three people to stack up, don't you think, old witch?"
Lin Sui: "..." A world-class question: Just how outrageous can Si Xingran be?
【What? What Han? Could it mean something like that? And am I the only one who's thinking the wrong thing? [smirk][drooling]】
【Ahhhhh, let's sleep together! Let's sleep together!! I'll turn off the lights for you! I'll give you 200 yuan as a wedding gift!!】
[This is the comments section, not a no-man's land... I'm just doing my homework.]
[Pass the word down: They're going to have all six of them in the bridal chamber together.]
[Huanni loves Nianzai: I'm so fed up with Lin Sui! He's not content with just one person being tied up for fame, he's tied up five! How disgusting! I'm taking my husband away, no thanks!]
[Your husband himself said it was a childhood betrothal, so if you're not happy about it, keep it to yourself!]
"It doesn't matter where I sleep, I don't care." Lu Xiang pushed past Si Xingran without looking at him, and then pulled Tang Xi into the dormitory with her.
Lin Sui: "...But your dorm is next door."
"Oh, so?" Lu Xiang raised her cat-like eyes slightly, looking both cool and charming.
Lin Sui: "...I'm glad you like it."
"Oh, what should I do?" Yu Cinian seemed troubled, her smile faint. "Besides the squad leader, I'm not used to being squeezed with others. Could you let me have a seat?"
One sentence instantly earned him angry glares from the others: "Don't even think about it!"
Lin Sui couldn't help but raise her hand: "Excuse me, I'd like to interrupt."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Yu Cinian: "I'm no longer your captain."
Because the director decided not to issue any more tasks for this episode, allowing them to improvise freely, there was naturally no need for a team leader responsible for communication.
Yu Cinian smiled and said, "Once a captain, always a captain."
Lin Sui: “…”
In the end, the two teams, a total of eight people, still ended up crammed into one dormitory room.
They moved the four beds from next door, making the already cramped dormitory space even worse.
Finally, there was no room left, and since they still needed to leave someone to stay, everyone except Lin Sui put their heads together and decided to send Chen Jue to sleep on the balcony.
Wu Xiaojun didn't understand why they were so hostile to Chen Jue.
But this behavior reminded her of something very unpleasant.
She couldn't help but frown: "You guys are... bullying me, aren't you?"
Tang Xi's eyes flickered.
Lin Sui keenly noticed this subtle change in emotion.
Si Xingran paused, raised his eyebrows, and admitted it very readily: "Yes, we are bullying."
His amber eyes were clear and bright, and he turned to Chen Jue with a wicked look in them: "You either sleep on the balcony, or you live alone next door. Your choice?"
This is going too far; they've really gone too far this time.
I understand they feel safer with Lin Sui, but that doesn't mean they should be deprived of their right to feel safe, does it?
I feel a little sorry for this new guy. He was targeted like this just for mentioning that he was Lin Sui's arranged marriage partner. It's like he was struck by lightning.
[Where is Lin Sui? Doesn't this master care?]
[Please don't take this as fan behavior and get involved with the idol. Our Suibao is just so lovable!]
[Ahhhhh, the fact that they're fighting and targeting each other just because they're in an arranged marriage makes it even more adorable!!!]
[Don't rush to criticize. In my opinion, this Chen is definitely not simple.]
Lin Sui also felt that Chen Jue was truly extraordinary.
Even in this situation, his gentle expression remained unchanged, like that of a refined gentleman, as if he would never argue with anyone.
He just gave a wry smile and said, "Then I'll choose the balcony. At least I'll have some protection."
As he spoke, he consciously moved his made-up single bed to the balcony.
Li Ye followed closely behind him, moving the bed to the glass door near the balcony.
Lin Sui looked at the small dormitory room, which was crammed full, and suddenly wondered whose head it would step on when it appeared if there were vengeful spirits here.
As everyone busied themselves moving and making beds, night quietly fell.
The dormitory building, abandoned for many years, has aging wiring, dim lighting, and some light bulbs even have poor contact, flickering on and off.
The atmosphere of being haunted was instantly filled.
Especially during the day when the sun is shining brightly, at night, a thick fog suddenly spreads outside the dormitory building, reducing visibility to the point where you can only see the open space in front of the building.
The entire dormitory building seemed to have become an isolated island, or an iron cage covered with a black cloth, not only isolated from the world, but also with a chilling wind blowing in.
And within that thick fog, it seemed that countless wronged souls were wailing.
Wu Xiaojun considers herself quite daring; she used to climb on roofs and remove tiles since she was a child, and was even more mischievous than boys.
However, even in such a gloomy environment, one can't help but feel uneasy.
She huddled in the corner, her gaze unconsciously following Lin Sui, who was surrounded by blankets on the bed: "Master Lin, a ghost, has a ghost appeared?"
“This dormitory building has a lot of yin energy. We were targeted as soon as we moved in,” Lin Sui explained casually. “So don’t worry, if a ghost appears, you can see it too.”
Wu Xiaojun: "..." I'm even more worried now!
Lin Sui did some quick calculations, then decisively threw off the blanket and lay down: "Let's sleep first, the main event is yet to come."
Wu Xiaojun stared in shock: "It's only seven o'clock!"
Putting aside the fact that it would be a miracle to fall asleep in this eerie atmosphere, at this hour, students with evening classes and those working overtime are still at get off work or school.
“If you don’t sleep now, you’ll have even less sleep later.” Lin Sui narrowed her eyes. “Staying up late isn’t scary; what’s scary is not getting enough sleep. That way, your energy will gradually drain away, making you more susceptible to possession and eventually leading to sudden death…”
Upon hearing that she was possessed by a ghost, Wu Xiaojun panicked, pulled up the blanket, and immediately lay down: "I'm going to sleep now!"
Lin Sui nodded in satisfaction, "This child is teachable."
As for those villains, they have inhuman energy, so she doesn't need to worry about them.
She was mainly worried that Wu Xiaojun's lack of sleep would hold her back.
Of the 20 million from last period, apart from the 3 million or so that Tangxi kept separately, the rest was all spent.
She still needs to keep winning prize money.
Alas, the helplessness of the poor.
As Lin Sui pondered these thoughts, she let herself drift off to sleep.
[...Falling asleep in three seconds? That's sleep quality insomniacs are green with envy.]
What she said was so scary! I'm going to take a nap now and wait until the ghost appears before watching.
Seeing that Lin Sui was asleep, Lu Xiang and the others took it for granted and unanimously made quieter movements to avoid making noise.
Looking at the thick fog outside, Si Xingran could not hide his excitement.
He went up to the balcony and whistled silently: "Tonight is something to look forward to."
"Can you stop acting like you've never seen the world before? It's not like you've never experienced anything like this before," Lu Xiang muttered disdainfully.
Si Xingran held up a finger and shook it: "You don't understand, I have something good that I need to experiment with."
Upon hearing this, Li Ye walked over softly and said, "Me too."
"What a coincidence," Yu Cinian chuckled softly, lowering his voice. "I have one too."
Lu Xiang was stunned. She turned around and saw Tang Xi carefully closing the balcony door. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "You don't have one too, do you?"
