A Love Letter in the Changing Room Locker

The girls' dormitory and the boys' dormitory are in separate buildings, not far from each other. Having just been caught in the rain, they really need to hurry up and go back to their dormitories to rest. Otherwise, who knows if there will be a rule in this instance that getting wet in the rain will cause a cold?

Yu Xing and the other three arrived at the fourth floor of the boys' dormitory. The dormitory was very exquisite, showing the superiority of their "new dormitory building" in every way. They pushed open the door and found that the dormitory they were about to move into was about 60 square meters, including the living area. The beds were separate and separated by curtains. The desks and cabinets were also within the area separated by curtains, like four independent small rooms.

However, there is no toilet in the dormitory. If you want to take a shower, you have to go to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

After closing the dormitory door, the four men felt much more at ease. Wen Qinghuai first searched the dormitory from beginning to end and found no surveillance cameras. Zhao Mou was also quite relieved about this, because surveillance cameras seemed out of place with the vintage feel of St. Jonis's.

"Not bad at the start, no scare tactics right away." Wen Qinghuai pulled up the curtains on the window at the end of the dormitory and took off his shirt.

"That's not necessarily a good thing. Generally speaking, the more uneventful the beginning, the more exciting it becomes later." Zhao Mou replied with a smile, it was unclear whether he was mischievously trying to scare him or was serious.

"There's a reason why there are four beds." Yu Xing had already opened a small cabinet in the room, only to find a school uniform inside. The uniform's packaging had the name Derek written on it. He turned and asked, "Who's Derek?"

"It's me." Zhao Mou walked over and immediately understood. "The school has already assigned us all the seats? Tsk... there's something fishy going on."

School uniforms are usually picked up when students register, in the same room where they just stayed in the administration building. If they don't pick them up then, they basically have to wait a couple of days. No school puts the uniforms in the dormitories in advance.

The four of them quickly found their beds based on the names written on their school uniforms in the closet. Yu Xing numbered the four beds. His bed was near the window, on the left side of the window, and he called it bed number two.

Number one is on the left, next to the door; number two is on the right. Number three is on the right, next to the window; number four is on the right, next to the door. Remember them in a clockwise direction.

All four of them used this method of memorization to determine their bed numbers, so that if any conspiracy were to occur later, they could simply mention the bed number to identify who it was.

They confirmed the names in the copy: Yu Xing was Roy, Zhao Mou was Derek, Zhao Yijiu was Sam, and Wen Qinghuai was Winter.

In addition, when Yu Xing went under the bed, he found a suitcase. When he opened it, he found that it was full of "Roy's " things. It seems that their parents had sent the luggage over before sending them, these problem children, to St. Johnis Middle School.

Some textbooks that looked like they had never been opened were also piled up inside; no wonder they didn't bring any textbooks when they reported on it.

He was relieved to find brand-new underwear, basic bed sheets and blankets, pajamas and cotton shoes, and a stack of living expenses in his suitcase.

That living allowance is different from the Ghost Pound and Ghost Coins; the face value is a full 800 yuan. However, a little thought reveals that this must be a unique currency in this instance, which cannot be taken out, and even if it could, it would be useless.

The four characters play problem students from different family backgrounds. Zhao Mou's character is a child from a very good family who has not offended anyone, but his parents have high hopes for him and are determined to push him into this hell.

Zhao Mou also had the most money in his suitcase, 2000.

"There's a handbook in the common area." Zhao Yijiu's emotionless voice rang out in the living room. Calling it a living room was a stretch; it was really just a few square meters of common space with a large table on it, and nothing else that could fit.

Hearing the sound, Yu Xing lifted the curtain and went outside. He had also seen the things on the table, but he didn't rush to pay attention to them. Instead, he checked all the items related to his identity first.

Upon entering the living room, one would see Zhao Yijiu, still soaking wet, standing by the table, carefully holding the handbook as if afraid of getting water droplets on it.

"School rules and the college map." Seeing Yu Xing emerge first, Zhao Yijiu continued, "The school rules largely overlap with what Gene said, but the map is more important."

Zhao Mou and Wen Qinghuai also emerged from the private space separated by the curtain and gathered around the table, where they all looked at the map that came with the manual.

For a secondary school, St. Jonis's is quite large, with three main teaching buildings, two dormitory buildings, and one staff dormitory building for the Principal, directors, teachers, and other staff such as cleaners, dormitory managers, and security guards.

In addition, there is an auditorium, a canteen, an on-campus museum, a library, a football field, a playground, half a hilltop, and a lawn for aesthetic purposes near the gate.

Judging from the school's location, it's impossible for there to be a mountain in the city of Dead Silent Island. However, in the instance, there are no other buildings in sight around the school. The area behind the school is a barren mountain, which is perfect for the kind of scene in old-fashioned horror stories where you sneak into the woods behind the mountain at night.

The map doesn't mark the location of the old dormitory, so it seems to have really been designated as a forbidden area. They don't even want new students to know its approximate location. Unfortunately, although the school is vast, that's only relative. After staying on campus for a few days, you can basically figure out where the old dormitory is. If you can't see it anywhere, then it must be built on a mountain.

"According to Director Fatty, we should pack our things first, check out the cafeteria at noon, and then classes will officially start in the afternoon." Wen Qinghuai touched his chin. He had taken off his shirt because he felt uncomfortable wearing wet clothes, but then realized that he was the thinnest of the four of them, which made him a little embarrassed, so he put his shirt back on.

"It's the first day, so let's go through the process he gave us first. I'm also very curious to see just how much pressure there is in this school, that Director Gene keeps emphasizing to us that we must always remember to study, and reminds us that we don't have any extra time to cause trouble." Yu Xing was in high spirits, while Zhao Yijiu was not in a good mood at all, and seemed to be a little unhappy at the thought of studying.

Yu Xing noticed this and teased, "I didn't expect Brother Jiu to be afraid of this."

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

He turned and went back to his small room. Yu Xing heard a slight noise coming from the other room, as if Zhao Yijiu was packing her luggage. After a while, Zhao Yijiu's muffled voice came from the room. "I'd rather practice assassination in the dark than do an exam."

"Who isn't?" Wen Qinghuai sighed. "Although I followed the intellectual approach after entering the deduction field, my grades weren't actually that good back in high school. It wasn't that I wasn't smart, but rather that I didn't like reading and memorizing. Ha... playing deduction Yugi is much more fun than memorizing textbooks."

"I, a top student, really don't fit in with you guys..." Zhao Mou smiled, looking incredibly smug, but then he paused, suddenly remembering there was someone else whose background he didn't know. "Yu Xing, how were your grades before?"

When he first started investigating Yu Xing, he couldn't find any records of Yu Xing's schooling.

Asking this now is a small test. If Yu Xing doesn't want to talk about it, or doesn't want Wen Qinghuai to hear it, he will definitely change the subject, and he won't press the matter.

"It's alright, passable." Yu Xing thought for a moment. He hadn't mentioned much about his past when he talked to Zhao Mou before, but because he had mentioned his grudge against the Lingren, he felt that Zhao Mou should have some correct guesses about his past.

So he leaned close to Zhao Mou's ear, lowered his voice, and chuckled, "But what I learned back then was quite different from what students learn now. It was much simpler back then. I wasn't exactly a diligent student when I was in school; I was more of a playboy."

Although he was relatively naive at that time, his surroundings and social circle meant that he frequented entertainment venues such as nightclubs, and often at that.

Of course, he didn't do many immoral things. He usually just went out to drink and chat with the young masters who had brought him there. Occasionally, he would be invited by foreign friends in the concession to go to places like cinemas and opera houses.

After returning from studying abroad, he deliberately kept such social interactions at a relatively low frequency. He preferred to stay at home painting or studying traditional opera so that he could have more common topics to discuss with the person staying at his home next time.

Zhao Mou was surprised to hear the word "playboy" come out of Yu Xing's mouth. He had long seen that although Yu Xing was very mischievous and wild, and his thoughts were hard to fathom, since they met, he had never gone to any places that crossed the line.

He used to be a regular at nightclubs, and occasionally tried to drag Yu Xing along, but she always refused. He even thought Yu Xing had some kind of mental fastidiousness about this...

Time really can change a person.

After Yu Xing finished speaking, he left without paying attention to Zhao Mou's rather interesting expression. He had just reached the curtain of his small room when he saw Zhao Yijiu, whose bed was directly opposite his, come out with a bag.

I glanced at it casually and saw that it was a school uniform and a towel.

"Want to take a shower?" Yu Xing knew Zhao Yijiu's plan; they would all need to go to the bathroom at the end of the corridor to wash up first. "Wait for me, I'll go too."

Zhao Yijiu didn't speak, but she stopped walking.

"We'll go too." Seeing this, Zhao Mou and Wen Qinghuai quickly went back to their small room to get their clothes. They weren't very Combat Power, and if Zhao Yijiu and Yu Xing left first, it would be dangerous if they, being weaklings, encountered something in the bathroom.

Two minutes later, the four of them took their clothes and keys and went to the end of the corridor. The camera showed a toilet, and not far from the toilet was a spacious bathroom. The bathroom was divided into small cubicles by partitions, each with a shower head. Outside these cubicles, there was a whole wall of lockers, each with a name written on a piece of paper and stuck to it. The lockers were not locked.

"The conditions are really good. St. Johnis Middle School should be considered a prestigious private school, right?" Zhao Mou looked around for a while.

In front of the lockers were two rows of soft seats, which were used for changing clothes. They didn't seem to mind; they simply found their lockers, took off their clothes, and grabbed their towels.

At this point, Wen Qinghuai kept glancing at Zhao Yijiu, which made Zhao Yijiu look back at him, somewhat confused. "What are you doing?"

Wen Qinghuai: "..."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to admire how well you've built your muscles. I try to work out sometimes, but I can never stick to it... I've never even exchanged a physique with the system..."

Exchanging stamina and strength will make some physical changes to the body, but it's difficult to make muscles look as good as someone who has worked out. You can change your physique, but it doesn't help much with deduction. Wen Qinghuai usually uses his points to collect offerings and items, so he's still quite thin.

Moreover, this event has blocked all system-related information.

So when he saw Zhao Yijiu's physique—those biceps, those pectoral muscles, those abs, those V-lines, those leg contours—so smooth, not huge but clearly firm and full... he was so envious!

Zhao Yijiu felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze and awkwardly turned away. After a moment's thought, she grabbed a towel and quickly went into the bathroom, using the towel to shield herself from his strange stare.

"That's because you're too lazy." Zhao Mou chuckled. No matter how busy he was, he never neglected his workouts; he still had a six-pack. "Don't look at A Jiu, he's shy. Go look at Yu Xing, he's more shameless."

Yu Xing wanted to roll his eyes. He hadn't taken off his clothes yet because his closet was in a rather secluded corner, which he had just found.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be not empty.

What is this?

At first glance, his cabinet appeared to be empty, but in reality, a thin letter was stuck to the bottom of the shelf where shoes were kept.

If Yu Xing hadn't habitually checked, she probably wouldn't have discovered it.

The envelope was pink, and his expression instantly turned strange... A love letter?

But he'd only been there a little over an hour and hadn't seen a single student yet, so how could anyone have given him a love letter?

The next moment, he realized that this might not be for him, but rather...

Yu Xing glanced at the paper with her name written on it on the cabinet, reached out and tapped it, and sure enough, she found that there was another layer under the newly pasted paper.

However, the bottom layer had already been torn off, leaving only a noticeably darker mark.

This cabinet of his used to belong to someone else.

In other words, this pink "love letter" may have been posted there a long time ago and had gone unnoticed.

Unsure whether opening it would trigger any events, or whether not opening it would cause him to miss any notifications, Yu Xing thought for a moment and decided to leave it for now and take it back to his dorm after he finished showering.

Just then, he noticed an especially intense gaze. Turning his head, he saw that Wen Qinghuai had indeed listened to Zhao Mou and was staring at him.

"Yu Xing, hurry up and take your clothes off! I want to see what your body looks like without the data you exchanged through the system!" Wen Qinghuai put his hands on his hips and took off his clothes, as if he had also taken off his usual gentle and polite demeanor.

Because Yu Xing had done a live stream, it was common knowledge that he was in poor health.

Yu Xing: "..." Unable to bear the blow.

He placed the pink envelope inside, then put his school uniform and underwear inside, and then took off the shirt and trousers he had bought at the hotel, followed by his underwear.

A dozen seconds later, one more person in the world was heartbroken.

Even after Yu Xing entered the bathroom, Wen Qinghuai could still be heard muttering incredulously, "How could this be... It's impossible... This is completely illogical..."

And Zhao Mou succeeded.

Yu Xing chose the cubicle next to Zhao Yijiu, turned on the tap, and stood under it to rinse off the rainwater.

Listening to the lingering sounds outside, he shook his head. Why do men become so childish when it comes to things like this? Tsk tsk tsk, Wen Qinghuai is still too young and impetuous.
