Entering the campus was naturally unobstructed, as it is now an open campus. However, entering the dormitory building proved difficult because it required facial recognition.
And undoubtedly, with Mo Yu's current attire, passing facial recognition… would be a ghost's doing.
"Verification failed! Verification failed! Verification failed!"
Mo Yu squatted at the entrance of the dormitory building, looking up at the night sky with a sigh. He had originally booked a hourly room outside to change, but because Song Xiayang kept him, he was delayed and thought he would just go back to the dormitory to change.
He didn't expect to be unable to even enter the dormitory building now, which was truly a bit hard to bear.
If Mo Yu didn't smoke, he would genuinely want a cigarette right now.
Just then, the sound of an electric door came from behind him, and along with the sound, Dorm Auntie's familiar voice appeared—"What time is it? What are you, a girl, doing squatting here?"
Her voice carried a hint of reproach, but also a hint of concern. Compared to many people in society who jump to conclusions, Dorm Auntie was a kind and warm-hearted person.
Hearing her voice, Mo Yu quickly stood up, a smile appearing on his face.
"Auntie, I live in this dormitory building. It's just that I'm wearing makeup now, and facial recognition can't identify me."
"Really?"
Dorm Auntie looked at Mo Yu suspiciously. It could be said that from Mo Yu's appearance, there was no male characteristic visible at all; rather, his female characteristics were quite prominent.
In fact, things like his Adam's apple, Mo Yu was one of those rare types whose development was not obvious.
"Really, really, Auntie, it's me! I'm Mo Yu, a third-year student from the School of Life Sciences, from room 302. Here are my campus card and ID card!"
With that, Mo Yu handed over his student ID and ID card.
Dorm Auntie carefully examined the documents, then looked Mo Yu up and down, her eyes still filled with suspicion.
"Is this picture you?"
"It's me."
"Is it?"
"Yes."
"You didn't pick these up outside, did you? Child, you can't use such methods to sneak into the male dormitory."
Dorm Auntie said earnestly.
"No, Auntie, this is really me."
Mo Yu's mouth twitched, but he couldn't really blame Dorm Auntie. He usually had that sunny boy style, and now… the difference was indeed huge.
"You… I can't just take it out to prove it to you, can I?"
"..."
In short, after a lot of elaborate explanation and verification, Dorm Auntie finally recognized Mo Yu's identity.
"Honestly, Xiao Yu, if you have this kind of activity again, tell Dorm Auntie and report it. Your foundation…"
Dorm Auntie hesitated, then finally just waved her hand.
"Alright, Auntie, I understand. This time it was also to cheer on the college entrance exam candidates. Anyway, thank you for your help and understanding."
With that, Mo Yu bowed quite sincerely, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was a good student on weekdays and was quite familiar with Dorm Auntie. He also often lent a hand when he could. Otherwise… he really wouldn't know what to do.
At this hour, if he were to go out and book a room, it would also be quite troublesome. He couldn't possibly… spend the night at the Laboratory, could he? Because the Laboratory had fingerprint verification, he wasn't worried about not being able to get in.
"Alright, alright. But you still need to be quick."
Dorm Auntie put away her smile, saying somewhat sternly, her words implying something.
Ten o'clock at night, for some, might mean already being in bed, but for energetic male college students, it was just the beginning of nightlife. Moreover, since the dormitory building's showers stopped running at 10:40, many male students were showering at this time.
"Mm, I understand."
Mo Yu said with a wry smile. How could he not understand Dorm Auntie's meaning? It's just… was she saying he had to complete the evacuation mission of avoiding male students and returning to his dormitory while wearing high heels and dragging a suitcase?
That was simply impossible to accomplish.
And so, after Dorm Auntie gave him a look that said 'good luck,' Mo Yu embarked on this journey. To be honest, he already had a premonition that he would definitely be on the school forum, and even the confession wall, tomorrow.
Unlike appearing at the college entrance exam site during the day, for current male college students, the college entrance exam and such were no longer a major focus. Those peerless prodigies rarely appeared anymore; basically, the same old material was used for pranks during the college entrance exam every year.
But—if a Ruan Mei appeared in the male dormitory, with absolutely no flaws visible, the meaning would be completely different.
After all, just a girl appearing in a male dormitory building was an extremely exaggerated matter… In room 201 of the male dormitory, a young man skillfully pulled a washbasin from under his bed, placed his towel, shower supplies, and a change of clothes in it, then invited his roommate, who was still playing games.
"Let's go, let's shower together!"
"Later, I haven't finished this game yet."
"Alright."
This was not Chengdu, so there was no need to have any prejudice against such invitations to shower among male college students. Ultimately, it was no different from going to the restroom together in elementary and middle school.
At most, if you showered too slowly… your good brother roommate would play a prank on you.
Because of this, although the invitation was not accepted, the young man didn't mind and walked directly out of the dormitory. It's worth mentioning that the communal showers were on the first floor, so when it was crowded, one really couldn't dawdle, otherwise there would indeed be no empty shower stalls.
The young man's name was Ye Xiujie, a first-year student from the Sports Academy, specializing in track and field. He had just returned from training, covered in sweat, which was why he didn't choose to stay and wait for his roommate to finish his game.
Leaving his dormitory, Ye Xiujie ran down the dormitory building's corridor. Without a roommate, he was naturally decisive. The sooner he showered, the sooner he could return to play games.
Before long, he rushed to the entrance of the stairwell. Just then, a graceful figure came up the stairs from below.
"Excuse me!"
Ye Xiujie didn't pay much attention, simply saying a quick word and walking past the person. But in the instant he passed, a refreshing fragrance entered his nostrils.
"My dude, spraying this much perfume?"
He mumbled subconsciously, but then, that graceful figure appeared in his mind, and Ye Xiujie immediately froze in place.
No! Who did I see? Huh?
