Chapter 53: Bathroom (2/2)

She refreshed the forum’s page twice to confirm that the post didn’t show up again. Ye Shangyu then turned on the bathroom lights and opened the door, saying to the two guys, “I’ll go in and take a bath, someone help me pull the door open.”

“Now?” Bai Yan paused for a second but didn’t feel embarrassed by her sudden actions. Even if Ye Shangyu stripped naked in front of them right now, he wouldn’t blush. He only thought that this was too quick.

“You haven’t even taken a look at the archive about the bathroom yet. Don’t you need to look at it one more time?”

“No need, I already remembered it.” Ye Shangyu shook her head and said, “By the way, keep an eye out on the lights for me. Luo Xing, you too. If the lights go out, I’m asking you to turn the lights on as soon as possible.”

After giving out her orders, Ye Shangyu unwaveringly went in to wash up.

This bathroom didn’t have a bathtub as it only contained a shower nozzle, which was placed next to the toilet, and a sink. This was all it had.

This bathroom interior design was quite simple, but it did save Ye Shangyu some trouble by avoiding unnecessary things.

She threw all of her thick and heavy clothes out of the bathroom, only leaving herself with a thin singlet covering her body.

Then, she returned to the bathroom and cautiously closed the toilet bowl cover. Ye Shangyu tested the water nozzle, there was definitely water inside.

Afterward, while wearing her thin garments, she opened the nozzle, warm water consequently spraying all over her body as she silently watched her surroundings with wide and vigilant eyes. After five minutes had passed, nothing had happened.

“The ghost stories will only take place inside the school. It’s useless if you’re outside.” Bai Yan pressed against the bathroom door, telling Ye Shangyu, “Don’t drench yourself in water anymore, nothing will come out.”

“En, I’m only making sure that nothing will happen outside.” Ye Shangyu made an agreeing sound. The bathroom lights were all still lit, appearing as if the ghost story needed to take placee inside the school.

Knowing that if she continued her shower, nothing would happen to her, she quickly grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her dampened body.

Conveniently, she brought a change of clothes with her, and it wasn’t completely impossible for her to change clothes in the bathroom. However, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall(2). The application deadline was still so near, and who knew if the president would suddenly change the story a bit.

It was only until Bai Yan went away that Ye Shangyu went to the farthest end of the bathroom to dress herself.

…

The three went back to school together in the afternoon.

Ye Shangyu casually returned to her dorm, resting her eyes in her room until her three roommates got back from shopping around the district. She then spiritedly got up from her bed and asked the three, “Do you girls want to take a bath together?”

“I already washed yesterday, so I’m not going.”

“After shopping for the entire day, I’m a bit tired, so I’m not going either.”

The first two girls flat-out refused as Chai Xiaohe touched her somewhat greasy hair, thinking over the offer, “Shangyu, I’ll go with you. Just wait for me a bit, I’ll put my things down.”

“Okay.”

Ye Shangyu grabbed the bath basket that she had prepared earlier and quietly sat on the bed, patiently waiting for Chai Xiaohe to finish.

After waiting for around 15 minutes, Chai Xiaohe finally sorted out the items she got from her shopping spree and prepared her toiletries, picking up her basket and saying, “Shangyu, let’s go.”

Ye Shangyu got up, and together, they left the dormitory. The outside wind’s chilliness pierced through their bones, causing the two to shiver uncontrollably.

The two girls quickly stepped into Building 4 after passing through the cold street.

Blue Sky College’s bathroom area was underground, so the two had to pass through a long flight of stairs before reaching Building 4’s basement.

Although it was a communal bathing area, the place still carried several small stalls that sold toiletries usually carried in supermarkets as well as a leased space to a barbershop that rented out hair dryers for the students to use.

The two weren’t lacking in any toiletries, so they nonchalantly passed by the small stores and beelined to the innermost part of the area.

The communal bathroom was divided by two entrances, the differentiating element between them were the signs above, one having ‘Male Bath’ and the other having ‘Female Bath.’

Ye Shangyu took note of this arrangement and entered the left entrance with Chai Xiaohe.

Although it was the holidays, there were still a lot of people showering in the communal bathroom.

The roommates found two empty cubicles and placed their belongings in the changing room. They then stripped and put on their bath towels over their bodies, carrying their baskets of toiletries and heading over to the showers.

“Hahhh, although it’s so cold outside, it’s still super nice and warm here!” Chai Xiaohe sighed from relaxation, loosening her hold on her bath towel.

As she carried the basket in her hands, Chai Xiaohe subconsciously wanted to go inside to the warmest and most comfortable shower stall she could find.

However, Ye Shangyu found a vacant nozzle by the door and didn’t show any intentions of going further inside.

Upon seeing what her roommate was about to decide, Chai Xiaohe grew worried and gently tugged on Ye Shangyu’s arm, saying with a persuasive voice, “Shangyu, let’s take our showers further inside. This stall is by the door. A lot of people are going to come and go there, which means that the door would constantly be opened and closed. It’ll be like an air conditioner entering the shower if we stay here. Moreover, this place isn’t warm, so let’s switch over there.”

“I like it by the door since it’s easier to breathe here.” Ye Shangyu shook her head in finality, “How about I shower here, while you can go inside.”

“…Forget it. I’ll still stay with you.”

Chai Xiaohe felt the temperature around her for a bit and believed that it was still more important to get along and bathe with her roommate rather than being warm. Now, since she got along with her whims, she also hoped that her roommate would help her scrub her back clean, so she endured the minor chilliness.

As a result, Chai Xiaohe placed her basket by Ye Shangyu’s side and placed her card on the machine. Warm flowing water immediately spurted out of the nozzle, spraying right out into her head.
