Chapter 478: Scaling In The Middle Of The Night
At the same time, in a boy’s dormitory in the Imperial Capital University.
The layout of the students’ dormitory in the Imperial Capital University was not completely the same. For example, Yan Jinyu’s dormitory had a bed on top and a desk below.
Some of the dormitories had bunk beds and the desks were placed in the middle of the dormitories.
This was the layout of the boys’ dormitory.
On the sixth floor of the dormitory.
Someone suddenly jumped onto the balcony of a dorm room.
Yes, the sixth floor.
Because the floor was high, the window that led to the balcony did not have an anti-theft window. The person entered easily.
The dim dormitory echoed with low snores.
There were four people in the dormitory and they all seemed to be asleep.
Even though the room was very dark, the person could still walk straight to a certain bed.
He stood in front of the bed and looked at the person on the lower bed.
The person on the bed was covered by a thin blanket. She was already suffering from insomnia, and it was not easy for her to fall asleep. Of course, she was not asleep either.
He did not notice anyone entering the dormitory at first. Now that he was standing in front of his bed for a few minutes and staring at him, it was difficult for him not to sense him.
He was shocked when he opened his eyes.
He woke up in the middle of the night in the dormitory and suddenly saw someone standing by the bed.He was even staring at him. Almost everyone would be frightened by that.
“You…”
The next second, his mouth was covered by someone.
Immediately after, there were two people on the narrow lower bed.
The person lowered her head and whispered into his ear, “It’s me.”
Xu Gui finally calmed down.
“Mm-hmm.” He gestured for him to let go.
Only then did Luo Yikun let go.
The two of them looked at each other in the dark for about a minute. No one said anything, but at a certain moment, they spoke at the same time.
“You…”
“You…”
“You speak first.”
“You speak first.”
They had a tacit understanding.
They were silent again.
Xu Gui’s feelings were very complicated now. At the class gathering tonight, a girl confessed to him. Luo Yikun helped him reject her, but he left without any reason.
He returned to the dormitory in a low and complex mood. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and slept, but he couldn’t sleep no matter what. He was still awake when his roommates came back to sleep one after another.
During this period of time, he had thought a lot and slowly figured out what he had never figured out.
He understood why he instinctively looked at Luo Yikun when that girl confessed to him. He also understood why he was so obsessed with asking Luo Yikun for a reason after Luo Yikun rejected him.
If he hadn’t said that he would only give Luo Yikun this chance to explain and Luo Yikun had left without looking back, he probably wouldn’t have understood his thoughts until now.
He simply cared.
He didn’t know when he started to care.
Perhaps it was lately, or perhaps, even earlier.
However, Luo Yikun… liked beautiful women. He had had countless girlfriends, so naturally, he had been involved with countless women too.
He didn’t know what to do now.
That was not right either. He had thought about it for a long time when he came back and had actually thought of a solution.
Whether it was based on Luo Yikun’s former playboy behaviour or on other considerations, this was not realistic.
He felt that it was better not to be so close to him in the future.
Wasn’t he fine when he and Luo Yikun didn’t interact much in the past?
As long as their relationship returned to its original state and they didn’t have much interaction, or rather, they rarely interacted even if they did. These thoughts that shouldn’t exist would disappear sooner or later.
However, he did not expect him to appear in his dormitory just as he was about to fall asleep. He was even squeezed onto a narrow bed with him.
The door was closed and this was the sixth floor. How did he get in?!
At the thought of this, Xu Gui finally reacted. He was about to sit up when he realized that there was someone else on him. He could not get up at all.
“How did you get in?!” His voice was a little loud. Hearing the sound of a roommate turning over as if he had been woken up, he quickly lowered his voice, “Did you come in through the window!?”
Since there was no sound of the door opening, he could only have entered from the window.
However, Xu Gui himself could not believe it when he said that.
Seeing that the person did not deny it, Xu Gui’s eyes widened in shock, “This is the sixth floor!”
“Be quiet. Don’t wake your roommates up.”
Xu Gui realized that his reaction was indeed a little big. He lowered his voice again, “This is the sixth floor. How did you do it?”
“I naturally have my ways. Let’s not talk about this. I’ll rush over to look for you immediately after I’m done. I want to give you the reason you wanted in the bar’s private room.”
Xu Gui gasped.
At this moment, they were already used to the dim light in the room and could barely see each other’s faces.
Hearing him mention the incident in the bar’s private room, Xu Gui got agitated again.
He felt stifled.
After a long while, he said, “There’s no need for that.”
“You didn’t say it when I gave you the chance, but there’s no need to say it now.”
In the next moment, his mouth was covered.
He didn’t cover his mouth with his hand this time.
Xu Gui widened his eyes in shock and was about to struggle and push him away.
“If you don’t want your roommate to wake up and see us, just…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Gui did not dare to struggle anymore.
Even in the darkness, Luo Yikun could sense Xu Gui glaring at him.
He chuckled and continued.
“This is the reason I want to give you.”
“It seems like you don’t hate this. This is very good.”
“I know you have a lot of concerns. Don’t worry, I’ll settle them. You just have to follow your heart and do whatever you want.”
***
The next day.
“Darn it!” The bro on the upper bunk woke up drowsily to go to the washroom. As soon as he came down, he saw the two people lying together on the lower bed.
Perhaps because the bed was too narrow and the two of them were in each other’s arms.
His roommate was mostly awake now.
However, he stopped being surprised when he saw who the other person was.
It turned out to be an acquaintance.
He knew this person. He was Xu Gui’s good friend.
He probably couldn’t go back to his dormitory to stay. As for why he didn’t know that he came, it was probably because they were all asleep when he came last night and didn’t alert them.
It was also hard to share a lower bed for the two of them.
However, after the roommate shouted, the other two people on the other bunk bed woke up too.
“What’s going on? It’s so early in the morning!”
“I’m sorry. I slipped.”
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Then, the two of them continued to sleep silently.
Xu Gui and Luo Yikun were naturally woken up too.
Panic flashed past Xu Gui’s eyes, but Luo Yikun was calm. He sat up and nodded at that roommate.
The roommate was stunned. He didn’t expect Luo Yikun to be so warm. He hadn’t seen him many times, but every time he saw him, Luo Yikun basically ignored everyone except for Xu Gui. He was very cold. It was inevitable that he felt a little uncomfortable now.
He nodded in response.
Then, he went to the washroom.
Xu Gui heaved a long sigh of relief.
Luo Yikun smiled at him. “Are you nervous?”
“What are you nervous about? Isn’t it normal for friends to stay over?”
Xu Gui glared at him and said nothing.
He suddenly felt uncomfortable as he thought of something.
Seeing him like this, Luo Yikun didn’t say anything to prevent him from feeling even more uncomfortable.
He stood up first. “Get up and wash up. Change your clothes and follow me out. I have something to tell you.”
***
At a breakfast shop in the Imperial Capital University, the two of them ordered breakfast and sat by the window.
“What are you going to say?”
Luo Yikun paused in his actions and looked at him, “Little Guizi, let’s go overseas.”
There was a moment of silence.
Xu Gui thought that he had heard wrongly and reacted, “What did you say?!”
Before Luo Yikun could reply, Xu Gui stood up excitedly, “You want me to go overseas? Y-you want me to go overseas? What right do you have to tell me to go overseas? You’re not my parents!”
Seeing his huge reaction, Luo Yikun panicked. “Don’t be anxious. I’ll explain to you slowly.”
“Sit down first,” he said gently.
He no longer looked like the hedonistic second-generation heir in North City that could not be provoked years ago.
Xu Gui stared at him and was silent for a moment before he sat down again.
“Aren’t you curious how I could enter your dormitory on the sixth floor so easily?”
Xu Gui almost forgot about this if he didn’t mention it.
However, after Luo Yikun asked, Xu Gui’s first reaction was not to pursue the matter. Instead, he looked around, afraid that others would hear him.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that ordinary people could not climb to the sixth floor bare-handed.
What if Luo Yikun had some secret identity…
Seeing his reaction, Luo Yikun heaved a sigh of relief without a trace. At the same time, he was also happy.
It seemed like he still cared about him.
“Seeing you like this, you probably have some guesses. Then, I won’t hide it from you anymore. I knew someone when I was very young and learned some skills from him. I didn’t know until last night that I had always been living in someone else’s scheme.”
Xu Gui was shocked.
Luo Yikun gave him a reassuring look.
“Since I already know that I’ve been schemed against, I naturally won’t continue to collude with the other party. However, this will inevitably offend the other party.”
“I have the ability to protect myself, but I can’t guarantee that I can protect the people I care about from the other party.”
The people he cared about…
Xu Gui fell silent.
After a long while, he asked, “Who’s the other party?”
“I wonder if you’ve heard of Ghost Slaughter Island? Or rather, have you heard of Ghost Slaughter?”
Xu Gui looked at him in shock.
“You offended someone from Ghost Slaughter?!”
The Xu Family was not considered a top family in North City, but they had their own businesses. Of course, they had heard of the extremely famous and mysterious organization, Ghost Slaughter.
Which family didn’t have some small conflicts?
Whenever there was conflict, they would come into contact with people or organizations whom they could hire to help them.
For example, Ghost Slaughter.
However, the Xu Family had never interacted with Ghost Slaughter.
However, Xu Gui had heard of Ghost Slaughter before.
Xu Gui did not dare to speak too loudly, “Wasn’t Ghost Slaughter Island destroyed? Is someone still alive in Ghost Slaughter? Who did you offend? Could it be the four killers who destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island back then?”
Luo Yikun chuckled. “You’re asking so many questions in one go. How should I answer them?”
“I didn’t offend them. I offended the former owner of Ghost Slaughter Island.”
“!!!” Xu Gui.
How was this different from offending the four big shots?
Wait a minute. Luo Yikun had just said that he had learned his skills from others and he suddenly realized that the other party was only scheming against him. Now, he said that the person he had offended was the owner of Ghost Slaughter Island. Didn’t that mean that the person who had taught him his skills and schemed against him was the former owner of Ghost Slaughter Island?!
“!!!” Xu Gui was so shocked that he was speechless.
He actually knew someone who was related to that kind of legendary person. It felt so surreal.
“Don’t be nervous. I’m in a cooperative relationship with the four big shots you mentioned. We only reached an agreement last night.”
Xu Gui was shocked again.
He opened her mouth to ask something, but he didn’t know what to ask. In the end, he didn’t ask anything.
He simply looked at Luo Yikun and for a moment, he felt that Luo Yikun was especially tall and impressive.
It was fine if he was involved with that kind of big shots, but he actually had a cooperative relationship…
