"Wait, don't go!"
Hearing that Jian Ran was going back to sleep, the girls in the Women’s Dormitory hurriedly opened the door in fright. Luo Luo's tear-streaked face appeared, her eyes timid, as though there were something terrifying outside.
Once she saw that it really was Jian Ran, Luo Luo's tears instantly poured down, and she cried even harder.
"Boo-hoo..."
"Hold the boo-hoos in."
Jian Ran had no time to treat a lady tenderly. Ten minutes had passed since the midnight alarm, and as half past midnight approached, the yin energy would surge.
"May we come in?" A measure of gravity showed in his finely sculpted features as he spoke in a steady voice.
After all, this was the Women’s Dormitory. It was only polite to ask.
"Yes." Having held her boo-hoos in, Luo Luo nodded through her sniffles, then opened the door all the way.
Because the rules required the lights to be switched off at ten, it was pitch-black inside.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jian Ran stepped inside. Behind him, an unusual expression flashed across Lu Yanting's face. He pressed his thin lips together without speaking and followed him in.
The instant the two stepped through the doorway, Luo Luo hurriedly closed the door.
The room instantly grew even darker.
"Why didn't you turn on a desk lamp?" Jian Ran asked.
"Lights-out is at ten thirty!" Bai Qing said from the corner.
"What? Students aren't even allowed to stay up late studying hard?" Jian Ran walked over and pressed the desk lamp's switch, immediately dispelling some of the room's darkness.
The four girls from the Women’s Dormitory came into view.
They stood quite neatly, having automatically formed a line.
"Who asked me to sing Good Luck Has Arrived just now?" Jian Ran raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Her!"
