A CERTAIN SOMEONE ( THE ON1Y ONE )

Chapter 072 - Unsuccessful Attempt

This Table Is Poisonous.

Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian were completely distracted as they were reading WeChat messages, therefore they naturally did not notice what was happening at the lectern. Neither did they catch the “We’ll be checking up on you guys in your dorms tonight” said by the teacher.

When class ended, the teacher pasted a piece of paper containing a table on the classroom’s front door. The rows listed out the dates, meticulously marking out the training time for the two weeks for every day, box by box. The columns were listed according to the groups, two to a group, and so 20 groups in total.
At the start, the students were mystified by the purpose of said table, and everyone crowded around it. That was, until the public speaking teacher took out the score sheet used for the past two days, and started writing down the marks on the table.

Those who won the PK that day were given a 1, those who lost were given a 0. Both Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian won two days in a row, so they both got two 1s. Bian Chen and the unfortunate opponent of Jiang Tian’s lost two days in a row, so they both got two 0s each.

People at this age are more or less competitive, and neither do they have a thick face. This table was literally public shaming to the group of students who were too used to praises, and so their fighting spirit instantly surged up.
As such, the number of people who snuck outside and play at night saw a sudden fall. Even if they went out, they obediently went back to the dorms at around 7-8pm.

The corridor today was especially lively. In order to make it easy for everyone to pop over, the group of boys from Yizhong all left their doors wide open. Like they were welcoming guests at any time.
Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian just returned from dinner, and there were enough people in the corridor to make them feel like they stuck in a fair. Quite a few boys popped in and out of various dorms, hugging their clothes and towels. There was even someone who asked at the top of his lungs, “Er-zi, why don’t you even fucking have shower gel?”
“Just finished them and forgot to buy.” A boy in the corridor spat at the small bathroom window, “What do you mean tree bark skin still needs shower gel? Just make do with bar soap.”
“Fuck off.”
“Are you showering or not? If you aren’t, get out.”
“I am I am I am.”

Sheng Wang had confusion written all over him, and nearly thought that he came to a public bathhouse instead. “What are you all doing?”
“Couldn’t you tell? They’re sharing bathrooms for showering.” Spiritually speaking, Bian Chen was still immersed in the PK in the afternoon, every word he spoke was still laced with emotion. All of this person’s emotions showed on his face, so in a way this became a sort of frankness after interacting with him for a while.

The boy beside him pointed at the noticeboard by the staircase. “Didn’t you read the notice when you come up?”
“Notice?”
Sheng Wang really didn’t notice.
Jiang Tian went back to check, and said, “There will be a water outage.”

“Think the pipeline’s getting renovated or something, but either way there will be a water outage tonight.” Someone explained, “The notice says it starts at eight, but just now, there were already two dorms with so little water coming out that they can’t shower.”
Bian Chen corrected, “Now there’s three.”

“Oh, yeah. It started from that end,” the boy pointed at the other end of the corridor. “The girls downstairs are still okay, so I’m guessing it’s because our floor is higher, and the water pressure isn’t enough? Anyway, it’s possible that the water will be cut before 8 pm. There’s still 20 minutes, if you want to shower you better hurry up.”

As they spoke, a howl came from a dorm. “Shit, there’s no water. I still haven’t rinsed myself!”
His neighbour instantly answered, “How about you come over here? I still have water, we can squeeze.”
“I’ll squeeze your grandpa, I’m literally naked, how am I supposed to go over?!”
“Cover yourself then moron!”
“I swear—to fucking god.”
