Chapter 38: Slept the Whole Morning
After the forty-five–minute math class ended, a twenty-minute long break began.
Just as the bell rang, Mo Ziyang’s phone alarm also went off.
The ringing sound quickly caught the attention of Lin Muxi, who was doing practice problems nearby.
“Hey, class is over.”
Since even the alarm couldn’t wake him up, Lin Muxi had no choice but to turn it off for him. She then used her small hands to push at Mo Ziyang, trying to shake him awake.
But she didn’t succeed. Instead, his two roommates wandered over.
When they saw Mo Ziyang sleeping so deeply that he couldn’t be woken up, both of them looked surprised.
“Did Brother Mo not sleep last night? It’s rare to see him actually sleeping at school.”
“Yeah, I almost never see this… but wasn’t Brother Mo with you yesterday?”
“Ah… uh… yeah, that’s true.”
Hearing them bring this up, Lin Muxi suddenly remembered all the embarrassing things from last night, and immediately got nervous.
When facing their questions, she stammered and couldn’t give a proper answer.
But since they kept asking, she had no choice but to scratch her head and quickly come up with an excuse.
“See, my head got hurt, right? I fainted for a while, so maybe Brother Mo had to take care of me the whole night.”
“For real? I think you’re the only one in the whole school who would dare to do that, hahaha.”
“Yeah, probably you’re the only one who can make Brother Mo worried like that.”
Hearing Li Bin say that, Zhang Hao was also shocked, then quickly agreed.
This left Lin Muxi embarrassed, she didn’t know whether to laugh or stay quiet, so she just gave a silly smile and kept telling herself.
Well, people sometimes lose their brains late at night, and do things that seem impossible to believe the next day. That’s normal, right?
But she couldn’t let them keep talking about this topic, so after smiling along for a while, her eyes rolled around, and she quickly changed the subject.
“So, are you guys going to the shop?”
“Yeah, wanna come?”
“You go ahead. I don’t need anything.”
“Alright, then we’ll go first.”
She waved and saw her two roommates off. Finally, the area near her seat became quiet again.
At the same time, since it was the break after the first class, the twenty-minute long break was the perfect nap time for many students.
Looking around, she saw that almost everyone was collapsed on their desks, sound asleep.
Making sure no one was going to disturb her, Lin Muxi picked up her pen, ready to keep doing practice problems, when she turned her head and saw Mo Ziyang still sleeping deeply, without any sign of waking up.
“Tsk, this guy.”
Lin Muxi frowned a little, unhappy, and tried to call him again.
“Wake up, Mo Ziyang, class is over.”
But the result was the same, he didn’t wake up at all, as if he were dead asleep.
Although she really couldn’t remember clearly what she did in her good bro’s arms that night, from the look of it, it seemed like he really had been worn out all night long. No wonder Mo Ziyang was this tired.
Feeling a bit guilty, Lin Muxi struggled inside for a while, then gave up. She decided to let her good bro rest longer, and stopped trying to wake him.
So just like that, when Mo Ziyang, who had fallen asleep in the very first class, finally opened his eyes again, it was already five minutes after the last class of the morning had ended.
“You… you’re awake?”
Seeing her good bro slowly raise his head, Lin Muxi, who had just been doing practice problems, put down her pen, turned her head, and asked quietly.
“Tsk, didn’t I tell you to wake me up after the first class? How come it’s already noon now?”
Mo Ziyang checked the time on his phone, frowned, then looked at Lin Muxi with a doubtful face.
“Uh… well…”
Just at that moment, Li Bin and Zhang Hao walked over and asked, “Wanna go eat together?”
Seeing them, Lin Muxi felt like she had been saved. She quickly pointed at them and defended herself.
“Ask them! You don’t know how deeply you were sleeping. No matter how I called you, you wouldn’t wake up. Later, I thought you were too tired, so I didn’t wake you again.”
Hearing this, Mo Ziyang turned his head toward Li Bin and Zhang Hao. The look in his dark eyes clearly asked them to confirm.
“Yeah, Brother Mo, we were talking right next to you and you still didn’t wake up.”
Zhang Hao also nodded hard.
“Tsk, looks like I really was too tired. Let’s go eat.”
Seeing that none of them seemed to be lying, Mo Ziyang sighed, got up, and got ready to head to the cafeteria.
Lin Muxi, hearing her bro say that, quickly closed her book, packed her things, and followed along.
So the four boys from Dorm 3333 went off together toward the cafeteria.
By coincidence, just after they left, Gu Jiusheng suddenly appeared from who-knows-where, standing at the classroom door looking for Mo Ziyang and Lin Muxi.
Unfortunately, she didn’t find them, so she could only leave with a dark face.
As for what she wanted, of course, she planned to argue with Mo Ziyang and Lin Muxi about the matter of a certain little maid.
After all, she had finally clung onto a rich man. How could she just let go? She had to keep her pride.
Meanwhile, on the road to lunch, Mo Ziyang suddenly remembered how bad the school cafeteria food usually was. He thought about eating somewhere else instead.
After all, people often said you could find strange “proteins” in cafeteria dishes.
So he immediately gave up on the cafeteria and turned to ask the others.
“Are you guys going to the cafeteria, or do you want to come eat with me and Lin Muxi? I suddenly don’t feel like eating there.”
“Huh? Not the cafeteria?”
Lin Muxi also turned her head in surprise.
After all, if not the cafeteria, then where? Could it be that he was going to drive her outside to eat?
If that was true… then that would be great.
“Alright then, Brother Mo, you two go ahead. We won’t come.”
“Yeah, Brother Mo, you guys go. Our grades aren’t good, and we’re not rich like you. If we don’t return to the dorm for lunch break, we’ll get punished like day students.”
So with the two of them waving goodbye, Mo Ziyang took Lin Muxi and headed to the parking lot.
Watching them leave, Li Bin and Zhang Hao both felt something strange about Lin Muxi.
Not only did her voice sound odd today…
But for some reason, when they looked at her walking away, it really felt like she was a girl. Or maybe it seemed like her body looked a bit… smaller than before.
But as for the rest, they didn’t dare think too much. After all, they couldn’t just suddenly tell themselves that their longtime roommate was actually a cute girl.
Even if that crazy idea was true, it couldn’t possibly mean Lin Muxi was actually Mo Ziyang’s girlfriend, pretending to be a boy in their dorm, right?
The more they imagined, the more ridiculous it became. In the end, they both gave up and just thought, ‘We’ve been single too long. Even our pretty-faced roommate makes us think weird things.’
On the other side, Lin Muxi had already been dragged to the parking lot. Standing in front of the car, she looked a little blank.
“For real… it’s just lunch, is this necessary?”
Seeing that no one else was around, Lin Muxi used her real voice again and gave Mo Ziyang a speechless look.
Although she really was a little excited about him taking her out to eat, she had to act. Life is like a play, and she couldn’t look too happy, or else it would seem like she liked her bro too much.
But Mo Ziyang didn’t spoil her. He just calmly opened the car door and said,
“Going or not?”
“Going, going, of course I’m going! How could I refuse when my good bro invites me, hehe.”
As if worried he might change his mind, the just-now speechless Lin Muxi instantly switched expressions, happily pulled open the car door, and hopped into the passenger seat.
Heh, women’s words…
Looking at the obediently hooked-in Lin Muxi, Mo Ziyang really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He couldn’t help but sigh, this fool probably only uses her brain when she’s studying.
