"These... these students are specially enrolled in our school," Liu Daxi appeared somewhat unnatural, stammering as he spoke.
"Specially enrolled? But this isn't a university. How come we have specially enrolled students here? Moreover, even if they are specially enrolled, in a girls' high school, enrolling a group of male students seems rather dubious, doesn't it?" Lin Yu's brow furrowed in puzzlement; this situation was getting too peculiar.
"I'm not entirely clear about the details of this matter. Um, you could ask Principal Lan when you have the time. I have to attend a mid-level cadre meeting soon. Mr. Lin, you can directly go to Building Four and hand over to the dormitory teacher there. I won't accompany you." Liu Daxi found an excuse and made a swift exit, leaving Lin Yu with a head full of question marks.
"What kind of school is this? Everywhere is shrouded in secrecy. It's really odd," Lin Yu pondered for a while but became intrigued. "I must see what this school is up to."
He muttered to himself, carrying an introduction letter, an identity card, and a magnetic card, shouldering his bag as he stepped out.
Mingren Girls' High School was indeed vast, even larger than a typical university campus. To have a high school built on such a scale was quite impressive.
Passing by a wide artificial lake and through a tree-lined path, a six-story white building marked "Four" emerged beyond the greenery, surrounded by a serene atmosphere and an elegant ambiance.
"This is it." Lin Yu nodded, heading straight there, only to be unexpectedly greeted by a white piece of fabric drifting from above, coincidentally aiming for his face.
Swiftly catching it, his eyes widened as he realized it was a pure white cotton undergarment, quite petite and charmingly designed. It seemed its owner must have been quite passionate, as why else would it display a thong-style design?
He swallowed hard, feeling an inadvertent surge of wildness within. "Who could have carelessly let their underwear fly down? Hmm... No, I should uphold the honorable duty of a dormitory teacher, find the owner of this undergarment, and return it to her."
Contemplating this, suddenly, a conversation from upstairs carried by the wind reached his ears, and he, with excellent hearing, made out, "Xiao Li, that's the underwear you bought recently. Why did you throw it away?"
"The other day, when Aunt Flo came, it got stained. Why keep it?" Lin Yu was struck by lightning. Several dark bloodstains adorned the fabric. Instantly nauseated, he promptly threw the white underwear away, as the sacred duty of a dormitory teacher was instantly propelled to Java by his disgust.
"What is this situation? Just arrived and received such an 'auspicious start'... I feel strangely... fortunate!" Lin Yu exclaimed, calling out upstairs. "Which student? Where's your sense of decency? Throwing disgusting things randomly, what if it hit someone? Who did this? Come down and take back your stuff!"
Instead of the owner of the thrown underwear, the duty dorm teacher from the dorm was called out.
"Hey, where did you come from? Why are you shouting? Don't you know this is a school?" The guy seemed quite angry, yelling louder than Lin Yu.
Infuriated by his impolite tone, Lin Yu raised his head but was taken aback. The guy was covered in white gauze, his right arm in a sling across his chest, hobbling with a cane. He looked like he'd been trampled by a herd of wild elephants; the fellow seemed to have suffered greatly.
"I'm the new dormitory teacher, replacing you. Here's my handover certificate and my ID. What happened to you? Did you fall?" Out of sympathy, Lin Yu didn't want to further argue with this severely injured person and asked with genuine concern while passing his belongings.
"What happened? Was played around with," the man glared at Lin Yu fiercely, as if blaming him for his appearance. This unexpected reaction bewildered Lin Yu. Why did he always seem to become the outlet for someone's frustrations? However, the man's choice of words was quite thought-provoking. It seemed this dorm wasn't easy to manage.
"Played around with by whom?" Lin Yu cautiously inquired.
"Who else could've played around with it? These little..."
The man gritted his teeth but didn't finish his curse. He grunted and took the handover formalities. As he went through them, tears welled up in his eyes. Pinning the transfer order to his chest, he was instantly teary-eyed.
"Brother, thank the heavens someone remembered this poor soul forgotten in a corner of the world..." The giant of a man, a head taller than Lin Yu, was overwhelmed, dropping his cane and embracing Lin Yu, tears streaming down his face.
The scene was incredibly exaggerated... Of course, the sight of two grown men hugging each other was quite intriguing.
"Is it necessary?" Lin Yu felt a shiver down his spine, gently pushing the man away, signaling him to maintain decorum.
"Brother, I entrust this 'lovely' place to you. I'm free now, I'm finally free..." The burly man waved his left arm, laughing loudly. "The skies in the liberated zone are bright and clear, and the people there love it..." Accompanied by the off-key singing from the man's terrible voice, he bounded away, indicating that Lin Yu had now taken over.
"This dormitory seems to really have issues." Lin Yu looked at the man who seemed almost driven to madness and furrowed his brow. A guy of such strength and stature reduced to such a state. Could it be that the girls in this dorm were all witches in disguise?
After watching the man collect his belongings and leave, Lin Yu stood there pondering. Eventually, he adjusted his thoughts, taking a deep breath of the fresh air. The idea of retiring in this place started creeping into his mind.
