Chapter 48: President
When Bai Yan and Luo Xing entered the room, they found Wei Zizhuo had been there since earlier and was now laying on the bed and messily eating a bag of chips.
With his mouth wide open as he ate, he completely looked like a slob. The chips fell right back into the bag as they escaped his mouth, and when he saw the two people come back, Wei Zizhuo unwittingly said, “Bai Yan, Luo Xing, do you guys want some chips?”
“No thanks. I don’t have an appetite.” Bai Yan’s eyes quickly flashed a trace of disgust as he recalled that there were supposed to be a total of six people living inside the dorm room, which made him ask, “Is it just you here? Where are the others?”
“Oh, them? I left early. After they were done taking the exam, they went to drag their luggage out of here.” Wei Zizhuo smacked his lips together, “These potato chips are really good… Isn’t tomorrow Saturday? And, after that is the weeklong national holiday(1)? All in all, we have five days off, so those dumbasses ran all the way home. Our school’s education quality isn’t that great, but the holidays sure are!”
- There’s a weeklong holiday in China called Golden Week that lasts for 7-8 days.
“Ai, let’s not talk about it. I also want to go home, but my family’s far away. If I would get a round trip, it would cost around a hundred yuan, and during more than half of the trip, I’d be wasting time on the road, which is such a waste of money and is taxing on the body. It’d be better if I didn’t go back.” Wei Zizhuo shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, “It looks like it’s just us three these next few days. Do you guys have plans for vacation? Or, do you have certain appointments with girls?”
“On the contrary, there are no girls. I intend to do my best in the club’s entrance test.” Bai Yan raised the application form in his hand, “The president required us to take note of five ghost stories. How much do you know about our school’s Supernatural Club?”
“Ghost stories? I heard that our school was built on some graves. I bet you also know about our school’s financial situation, so our school’s grounds are always being rented out by someone else. The students pay tuition to go to this school, just so they could afford this good piece of land. A lot of headmasters before wanted this lump of land for its convenience, and after they undertook a contract for this piece of land, they quickly transformed it into a school. Isn’t this like a ghost story?” Wei Zizhuo casually licked off the flavoring left by the potato chips on his fingers.
When he was finished speaking his mind, Bai Yan’s phone suddenly rang. He quickly grabbed it to take a look and lo and behold, it was Ye Shangyu calling.
