Chapter 76: Anyway, It’s Just Gathering Material
People often say that there are three urgent human needs.
Although Su Huaizhou had only drunk a little water during the debate match, she started to feel the urge after so much time had passed.
At first, it wasn’t too bad. She was lying on Jiang Miao’s bed, considering whether she should stay with Junior Brother or just get out of the bed and leave.
Even now, it wasn’t impossible for her to get out of the bed.
Coming up with a random excuse would actually be easy. It was just that the people in the dorm room might not believe it.
The worst outcome would be that, in the eyes of outsiders, she and Jiang Miao would become confirmed as a couple who sneaked around in the dorm room to be affectionate.
If that happened, Su Huaizhou realized she wouldn’t be opposed to it.
Anyway, I am planning to pursue… oh, wait, get Junior Brother to pursue me. Speeding things up this way doesn’t seem so bad?
However… Su Huaizhou blinked. Thinking about having the chance to spend the night with Junior Brother made her heart race wildly.
A little devil in her mind whispered, “This is a rare opportunity. Given Junior Brother’s reserved personality, who knows when you’ll get another chance to sleep next to him.”The little angel tried to say something, but the little devil immediately knocked her unconscious.
Then the little devil added, “Anyway, it’s just for gathering material. It’s no big deal. Besides, Junior Brother won’t dare to make any moves in the dorm room. As long as you’re not caught, won’t it be thrilling?”
Su Huaizhou’s mind heated up, and she was tempted.
When people were in special environments and atmospheres, their way of thinking changed.
Especially in such tense situations, people tended to choose the option they subconsciously desired rather than identifying which options were the more rational ones.
After all, if everyone acted rationally and always chose the best choice, society wouldn’t be as peculiar as it was now.
But just as Su Huaizhou was planning to stay at Junior Brother’s place for the night, her body gave a small reaction first.
Hmm… It really was just a small reaction.
But in this tense atmosphere, once the urge to use the bathroom arose, it was easy for someone’s attention to focus on this aspect.
Then the mind would continue to think about it uncontrollably… and even imagine the body using the bathroom.
Simply put, it was a nervous bladder.
Saying this in front of Junior Brother would be too embarrassing.
However, compared to the horror of leaving traces and a smell on his bed, admitting her need on WeChat didn’t seem that embarrassing.
But under these circumstances, how was Jiang Miao supposed to help her get to the bathroom unnoticed?
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Is it urgent?
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: For now… not yet…
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Then… try to hold it in?
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Hmm… I’ll try my best.
Jiang Miao was having quite the headache.
Xun Liang and Wang Xin wouldn’t be too much trouble. Wang Xin was the type of person who went to bed on time, going to sleep at 11 every night.
Although Xun Liang tended to stay up late, he had a bed curtain. Typically, he went to bed around eleven and either chatted on his phone with his girlfriend or played games.
The real problem was Chen Haoshang.
This guy played games until the wee hours of the morning and had a wildly erratic sleep time.
Sometimes, he would go to sleep early, while other times, he would stay awake until one or two in the morning.
Previously, he had thought Chen Haoshang was a typical internet addict who messed around during the day and indulged in video games at night.
But ever since Jiang Miao found out that he delivered takeout every day, he began to suspect if this guy might also be working as a gold farmer or power leveler.
After all, if he was short of money, gold farming was one way to make some money.
But none of this was his concern now.
Jiang Miao only wanted to know one thing: when would Chen Haoshang go to sleep tonight?
If Chen Haoshang stayed up until Senior Sister couldn’t hold it any longer…
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, what did you say to your roommates? If you don’t go back tonight…
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: I told them I was going home.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Huh? They believe that?
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: My home is in Hangzhou, so it’s normal to go back on weekends.
Jiang Miao raised an eyebrow when he saw this message.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: So, you’re a native of Hangzhou?
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Not exactly. I used to live in the countryside. It was only when Hangzhou was re-zoned when I was in middle school that I became part of the urban area.
Jiang Miao’s heart skipped a beat.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Linping District?
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: How do you know?
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: I’m also from Linping District.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: ?!
Su Huaizhou, lying on the bed, was stunned. Have I been so close to Junior Brother all along? We’re actually both locals of Hangzhou.
At this moment, Xun Liang came out of the bathroom. “Brother Jiang, I’m done.”
“Okay, got it,” Jiang Miao replied.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, I’m going to take a shower now. Can you still hold on?
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: I’m okay, go ahead.
When Chen Haoshang returned to the dorm room, it had been around 10:30 p.m., and it was nearing 10:45 p.m. now.
After sending the message, Su Huaizhou listened to the movements under the bed. When she heard the sound of the bathroom door locking, she knew that Junior Brother had started showering.
She remained lying on the bed, but the feeling of the dam breaking kept surging up, testing her endurance.
To distract herself, she opened the Xidian website and randomly read a book on her reading list.
When Jiang Miao finished his shower, it was already past 11 p.m.
Except for Chen Haoshang, the other two had already gone to bed.
Wang Xin’s biological clock was always punctual. Once the lights in the dormitory went out, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
On the other hand, Chen Haoshang’s monitor was still glowing.
As for Xun Liang, after finishing a phone call with his girlfriend, he played Honor of Kings in bed.
He had also bought a bed curtain like Jiang Miao. As long as Jiang Miao didn’t make too much noise, he wasn’t afraid of Xun Liang poking his head out. It was relatively safe.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Miao sat back in his chair and glanced at Chen Haoshang, who was still gripping his mouse and pressing keys on his keyboard.
Now, it all depended on when Chen Haoshang went to bed.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Junior Brother… is anyone still awake?
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Chen Haoshang usually stays up late to play games. When he goes to sleep depends on fate…
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Then when do you usually go to bed?
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: If I want to write, I’ll go up as soon as I return to the room. It’s too easy to get caught if I write down here.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Then are you coming up now? It’s already past eleven.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: That isn’t good. I’ll wait down here.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Staying down there too long will make your roommates suspicious. Anyway, I definitely can’t leave now. You can’t stay down there all night, right?
Looking at the message from Senior Sister, Jiang Miao felt his heart thumping. Even though the air conditioner was blowing, his body began to heat up.
He bit his lip and typed a few words with trembling hands.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, then… I’m coming up.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Okay.
