Chapter 99 is not to help a playboy… (Thanks to DAKS for the update)
“Lin Shuxue? I don’t know…”
“Oh, okay, thank you, classmate.”
“Lin Shuxue? Seems like she’s in Dormitory Building 1 for girls.”
“Oh, okay, thank you, classmate.”
“Lin Shuxue? Which dormitory?”
“Um… I don’t know…”
“Don’t know? Wait a moment, let me check for you. Don’t you have her phone number?”
Chen Yuan: “Thank you, Auntie, um, no…”
“Who are you to her?”
“I’m her brother.”
“Brother? How come the brother doesn’t have the sister’s phone number?” The Dormitory Auntie stared at Chen Yuan with keen eyes, as if trying to pry something out of his eyes.
Chen Yuan could only smile awkwardly: “…”
Seeing that Chen Yuan couldn’t explain himself, the Dormitory Auntie noticed a girl behind him, and showed a curious expression.
She laughed heartily: “Did the siblings have a fight?”
“Ah… haha…” Chen Yuan scratched his head…
“I’ll give her a call and ask.” The Dormitory Auntie said enthusiastically, while sizing up Chen Yuan.
“Okay, thank you, Dormitory Auntie.”
…..
“Hello?”
“Is Lin Shuxue in your room, Dormitory 316?”
“Lin Shuxue? She’s not here…” the voice on the other end responded.
Chen Yuan could hear clearly from not far away.
The Dormitory Auntie raised her chin at Chen Yuan, signaling: Did you hear that?
“Oh…” Chen Yuan nodded, “Then Auntie, can you ask where she went and when she’ll be back?”
The Dormitory Auntie showed a difficult expression…
“Thank you, Auntie, I’m begging you~” Chen Yuan performed a bow skillfully.
Seeing this, the Dormitory Auntie, who wasn’t very old herself, couldn’t help but chuckle: “Alright, alright…”
“Then do you know where she went? When will she be back?”
“We don’t know… Ah!!”
It seemed quite noisy on the phone, and the girls’ dormitory was not quieter than the boys’ dormitory…
The Dormitory Auntie covered the phone and shrugged at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan pouted, feeling a bit disappointed.
The Dormitory Auntie continued on the phone: “Then when she comes back, tell her someone is looking for her…”
The Auntie then asked Chen Yuan: “What’s your name?”
“My name is Chen Yuan.”
“Tell her that someone named Chen Yuan is looking for her.”
Chen Yuan: “Huh?!”
Will she not know who I am if I leave that name?
Chen Yuan hurriedly whispered to the Dormitory Auntie: “It’s Chen Yan, Auntie, not Chen Yuan.”
“Ah? Oh, it’s Chen Yan, not Chen Yuan.” The Dormitory Auntie immediately repeated to the phone.
“Ah? Chen Yuan? Ah… oh oh… okay…”
“Alright then, that’s it.”
She hung up the phone.
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“You’re welcome, young man.”
“I’ll leave her a phone number, Auntie. If she looks for it, please give it to her. If not, then forget it.” Chen Yuan thought carefully.
“Sure, you can write it down.”
“Okay, thank you, Auntie…”
…..
“Who’s that, Lele?”
“The Dormitory Auntie.” Xia Xiaole was holding a phone in one hand, playing a game, while clutching a large bottle of cola in the other, dressed like a gamer with short pink hair.
She sat back in her exclusive e-sports chair, preoccupied with the game’s win or lose, having completely forgotten about the phone call she just received.
On another bed, two girls were still singing back and forth…
They were both from the music department and never forgot to practice their singing, constantly rehearsing since they were going to perform on stage next week…
However, the talented girl Xia Xiaole from the music department didn’t have to worry about such a trivial program, playing her game without any concerns.
Her singing voice was the best in the dormitory, and others could only envy her.
Lan Xinran stopped singing and asked, “What did the Auntie call for?”
“What else could it be… another boy looking for Shuxue.”
Xia Xiaole put down her phone, opened the coke bottle, and gulped it down, finishing it with a loud burp.
“Oh…”
Hearing this news, Lan Xinran immediately lost interest and continued singing with Zhang Zihan across the way…
Although there were many boys looking for Lin Shuxue in school, most of them approached her directly, with the bolder ones asking for contact details face to face.
They wouldn’t go all the way to the dormitory building to find the Auntie…
However, because Lin Shuxue was indeed popular, the three girls in Xia Xiaole’s dormitory felt it wasn’t strange for a boy to call the Auntie at the dormitory building, so they didn’t think much of it.
…..
On the way home.
“I’m sorry… Commander… she might have gone to find you somewhere…”
Leia looked down at the stone pavement, counting the stones under her feet without looking up.
“Um? No worries, with you here, how could I lose track?” Chen Yuan, although worried inside, wouldn’t blame Leia, still trying to keep his tone light.
But the more he did so, the more Leia kept her head down.
Looking at her new shoes stepping on the solid ground, the feel bounced back.
“I’ll find her, Commander…” Leia suddenly said.
“Ah?”
“She was lost because of me, so I have the responsibility to bring her back.”
“Then… what about your classes?”
“I’m a teacher; I can adjust my schedule, and in a month, there are always a couple of days I can request off.” Leia looked up, her brows and eyes soft, gentle as water.
But in less than a second, she shifted her gaze elsewhere.
Then suddenly, in a somewhat proud tone: “I just… need to take responsibility for my mistakes. I’m a soldier! I must have accountability!”
“Not at all… to help a certain playboy find his sister.”
Eh?!
