847 Fire Dragon (1/2)
*Thud*
Qi Zao walked into her bedroom before she fell face flat on the bed. All she felt was a sense of comfort as if her entire body had been disassembled before being put together again.
\”If I still work as a campus reporter, I'll be cursed to date Back-Up 3, marry Back-Up Number 8, and marry again Back-Up Number 12!\” Qi Zao swore to herself. Her neck was so sore that she did not want to move at all.
Her dormmate chuckled. \”Qi Zao, wake up. You don't have a boyfriend! And you don't even have a back-up!\”
\”Ouch… I don't even have a back-up? Life is such a pain. I can hardly breathe now…\” Qi Zao casually replied, before she turned her body and kicked off her shoes. Then, she saw that her dormmates were dressed nicely. They seemed to be ready to leave.
\”Where are you going, and what are you doing?\” Qi Zao's reporter-instinct started functioning again.
\”Going to queue up,\” her best friend answered.
\”Library?\” Qi Zao was slightly surprised.
Her best friend smiled without saying anything before she lowered her head and operated on her phone for a few seconds before she said, \”Just forwarded it to you.\”
*Buzz*
Qi Zao's phone buzzed at the same time.
She swiped up and saw an official message from the school; it was forwarded by her best friend.
[Breaking news! Ling Ran returns!]
Qi Zao was surprised and raised her head. \”Is Senior Ling back? What is he back for?\”
\”He's coming to give a talk at nine in the morning tomorrow!\”
\”So, you're all going to queue up for the talk? And you're queuing up until nine in the morning tomorrow?\” Qi Zao looked at the girls in disbelief.
\”We'll put a stool there first. Then, we are ready to take turns to queue up, just like how foreigners do when they buy iPhones.\” Her best friend lifted the small folding stool on her hand as she spoke.
Qi Zao was totally speechless. \”Are you serious?\”
\”I am serious if Senior Ling is real!\”
\”Do you really need to be like this?\”
\”People queue up for day and night for a concert, so it isn't something big to queue up for a day for Senior Ling.\” When her best friend said this, she asked, \”Are you in?\”
\”I'm a little tired…\” Qi Zao hesitated.
\”Sisters, let's go.\” Her best friend brought the others and left when Qi Zao did not take up her offer.
Qi Zao covered her head with a pillow, and she was too lazy to even move her body. In a short while, she fell asleep deeply.
When she woke up later, she heard some sounds in the room.
'Is there a thief?' When Qi Zao heard the sound, she felt a stab of fear, and she immediately conjured all sorts of news for this.
\”Young Zao, are you awake?\” But she heard her best friend's voice.
Qi Zao got up from her bed, then she saw her best friend crawling into her own bed in a disheveled state.
\”You came back?\” Qi Zao asked, then she lowered her head and looked at her phone. \”It's only 4 o'clock.\”
\”Yea,\” her best friend answered before she went straight ahead and asked, \”Do you want to go?\”
\”Go… go and watch Senior Ling's lecture?\”
\”Yea, we've put a stool for you. If you want to go, just go and guard the place for a few hours. Forget it if you're not, though.\” When her best friend finished speaking, she laid on her flowery bed sheet and slept soundly while snoring.
Qi Zao stared at the pretty girl who was snoring, but she could not sleep anymore. Therefore, she decided to wake up, cleaned herself up a little, and left the house.
The night was quiet.
There were yellow, red, and white lights shining at the horizon far away.
Yun Hua University was the most famous university in Changxi Province, and the School of Medicine itself already had 0.2 square miles in terms of surface area. Together with a few girls from the same dorm, Qi Zao held the torchlight she bought from the retail shop while walking quickly toward the hall.
When they reached the entrance, they saw two bright roads extending toward them from a higher spot ahead of them. One of them was short, and the people queueing there were people heading to the library. The long one was the queue made of people going to the hall.
\”There are still people queuing up for the library at this hour?\” Qi Zao cast a glance at the place, and she felt slightly surprised.
\”There are still guys who look ugly yet are still feel envious of Senior Ling's talent,\” a girl next to her said in disdain.
