In the end, Room 806 directly dumped the two corpses and one half dead man out into the hallway. Looking at the bloodstains at their doorway, the five of them had no intention of cleaning them up. Leaving them there would probably scare off at least some people.
Watching the motherless guy slowly crawling in the distance, Zheng Wan looked worried.
“What if he doesn’t completely die? Could he come back for revenge later?”
Cheng Zhi thought for a moment, then shook her head.
“I stabbed him pretty deeply. I definitely hit his internal organs. He won’t survive tonight.”
Meanwhile, Huang Yiyi was still trapped in a state of panic. As she wiped away the blood inside the dorm room, she kept dry heaving.
After all, this was her first time witnessing a murder scene. Saying she was not scared at all would definitely be a lie.
Xiao Feiran wiped the blood off her face, changed into clean clothes, then walked over and took the rag from Huang Yiyi’s hand.
“Everyone’s like this the first time they see it. You’ll get used to it after seeing it enough.”
Huang Yiyi rinsed out her mouth, then ate a lemon flavored candy. Her emotions were all over the place.
“I always knew you three had it rough, but today I finally realized it was this hard.”
Xiao Feiran laughed twice and wiped away the last trace of blood.
“Our last life really was obstacle after obstacle. So many times the three of us took turns wanting to go find you and Wan ahead of time, but the other two would stop us. Every day we hoped for rescue, and every day there was none. We struggled along for almost a year and still ended up dead. You know, at the moment I died, part of me actually felt relieved.”
“Don’t think about the past anymore. People have to keep moving forward. Living well in the present is what matters most.”
Aside from that, Huang Yiyi could not think of anything comforting to say. She nudged Xiao Feiran with her shoulder.
“Your knife skills are pretty good though. Teach me tomorrow. Next time I’ll go for a one hit kill too.”
Xiao Feiran smiled and replied that of course she would.
Perhaps the bloodstains outside had frightened people away, because nobody knocked on the door of Room 806 for the entire night.
Early the next morning, everyone stared blankly at the Korean style bibimbap in front of them.
Cheng Zhi lazily stirred her rice.
“Having bibimbap first thing in the morning is pretty insane, even by breakfast standards.”
Huang Yiyi was still yawning. She slapped her own face lightly.
“Soft cooked egg, zucchini, bean sprouts… and meat. Wow, Sister Wan is seriously professional.”
Zheng Wan mixed up her bowl and happily took a bite. Speaking through a mouthful of food, she said,
“We already said yesterday we’d eat it. Besides, it’s already after ten. Let’s just treat it as lunch.”
Chen Siyu cut into the soft cooked egg, and golden yolk flowed out.
At that moment, she felt like her soul had been healed by a single egg.
Xiao Feiran lowered her head and shoveled food into her mouth furiously.
“So good! This kimchi really cuts through the greasiness. I think I could eat a whole bowl of it by itself.”
Hearing her homemade pickled cabbage being praised, Zheng Wan puffed up proudly like a little rooster.
“I’ve already planted the radishes and green beans. Once we harvest them, I’ll study how to make pickled radishes and pickled long beans too.”
Knowing what Zheng Wan was thinking, Cheng Zhi expressed complete agreement.
“Things like kimchi and pickled vegetables can be stored for a long time. That way, even if we can’t finish everything at once, we won’t have to worry about it going bad.”
After breakfast, two people stayed behind in the dorm to watch the door while the other three entered the space to water plants and feed the chickens and rabbits.
The potatoes in the vegetable plot had ripened. Zheng Wan and Cheng Zhi quickly dug them out.
It had been their first time planting them, so they had not grown many, but there were still two large basins full.
Looking at the sweet potatoes nearby that were also about to mature, Cheng Zhi felt extremely satisfied.
“What a harvest. Starting today, even if we ate potatoes every day, we’d have enough for half a month. We won’t starve to death anymore!”
Zheng Wan looked at the plump potatoes in the basin and felt equally happy.
This proved that they really had the ability to grow food. They would never have to go hungry again in the future.
Meanwhile, the rabbits and chickens could eat by themselves, so Xiao Feiran only needed to refill their feed.
Then she hurried over to check on the chicks.
The chicks were still too young and fragile, and they needed careful care.
The two little guys bounced around energetically inside the cardboard box. Only after Xiao Feiran placed the soaked feed in front of them did they finally settle down and stick their little butts in the air while eating with all their strength.
Xiao Feiran fondly patted the two tiny fluffballs and prayed they would grow up quickly and contribute their own share to Room 806.
The three of them moved very quickly. Once they had finished handling everything in the space, they immediately came back out.
Meanwhile, Huang Yiyi and Chen Siyu were leaning against the door, doing nails again.
Cheng Zhi crawled over and started fiddling with one bottle, then looked at glitter flakes, before finally shifting her gaze back to Chen Siyu’s hands with a puzzled expression.
“You two are only just removing the old polish?”
Huang Yiyi: “…Has it occurred to you that maybe we’re already finishing up?”
“?!”
Cheng Zhi was utterly shocked. She grabbed Chen Siyu’s hand and examined it carefully.
“From the style to the color, doesn’t this look exactly the same as yesterday?!”
Huang Yiyi suffered a devastating blow to her confidence. Holding back tears, she packed up her tools while talking.
“You people don’t understand these subtle differences at all. Waaaah. When I become a nail art master someday, even if you beg me to do your nails, I won’t agree. Waaaah…”
Chen Siyu and Cheng Zhi had black lines all over their faces as they stood there watching her performance.
Chen Siyu tilted her head slightly and softly said,
“Actually, she was the one begging. She hugged my leg just now and begged me to let her do them one more time.”
“Pfft.”
Cheng Zhi nearly laughed herself to death trying to hold it in.
As expected of Huang Yiyi, one of the Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix pair. Only she could come up with something like begging someone to let her do nail art.
The bloodstains had tremendous deterrent power.
Over the next few days, not only did nobody knock on their door, some timid people even gagged when passing by.
Seeing those reactions, everyone inside Room 806 was in an excellent mood.
They had food, drinks, and even electricity. Life only felt perfect when nobody came to bother them.
The five of them returned to their happy routine of reading, farming vegetables, and playing with pets.
Xiao Feiran laughed so hard she nearly could not breathe. Pointing at the two little creatures waddling around on the floor, she said,
“HAHAHAHAHAHA! Cheng Zhi, are you okay? Turning chickens into pets? Hahahaha! Are you crazy, or am I crazy? Hahahaha!”
Huang Yiyi looked resentfully at the two little yellow chicks and kept shaking her head.
“Cheng Zhi clearly never got chased and pecked by chickens as a kid. My grandma raised chickens when I was little. If I made eye contact with one of them, it’d chase me relentlessly and peck me like crazy. It hurt like hell.”
“Hey, I don’t really have a choice.”
Cheng Zhi lay bored across the table as countless fluffy little animals flashed through her mind.
“If there’d been a cat or a dog, I wouldn’t be treating chicks like pets. Seriously, why didn’t our dorm ever keep some kind of pet…”
Chen Siyu put down the romance novel in her hands and said helplessly,
“Because our dorm rules said pets weren’t allowed. Remember when the dorm next door raised a hamster before? The dorm supervisor found out, and from that day on, human and hamster were separated forever, never to meet again in this life. That girl even got disciplined and had to write a 5,000 word self criticism. It was tragic.”
On the other side, Zheng Wan turned around and draped her legs over the back of her chair.
“There’s another reason too. Everyone in our dorm likes cats and dogs. We couldn’t afford to buy one and couldn’t afford to raise one either. Being broke is the original sin.”
Instantly, everyone fell silent.
Cheng Zhi immediately burst into applause.
“That’s our Sister Wan. Her words always cut straight to the heart.”
Was disciplinary action and writing self criticism what really restricted college students?
Of course not.
The only things capable of restricting college students were the sixty point passing line and having no money.
