Chapter 30

"So many mosquitoes! Annoying! I feel like I'm being drained dry!"

"This wooden house is leaking wind, and the bedframe is so hard!"

"I'm sticky and filthy—I really want to take a shower!"

"I need to use the restroom—where is the toilet?"

"No toilet in the supermarket? Let's just find some secluded spot!"

"Supermarket staff won't let us in! They say if we want to use the toilet, we have to rent a house; if we can't afford it, use the open-air latrine…"

"... To hell with it, I'm going to complain to the principal!"

"I wonder what Su Yang is doing!"

"He might be enjoying the air conditioning, sleeping on a mattress… or maybe even showering!"

"Shower!!!"

A girl let out a heart-wrenching scream!

These students from Class One had grown up in Qixing City and had never suffered through sleeping outdoors like this!

Zhang Ruolin lay on the rigid bedframe, touched her neck, and felt it sticky.

She had always been clean since childhood, even a bit of a germophobe—without a shower, she couldn't fall asleep.

"Zhang Ruolin, Ruolin, are you asleep?"

"What is it, Gao Min?"

This was Zhang Ruolin's best friend, Gao Min.

"I want to shower!"

"I want to too!" Zhang Ruolin said helplessly, "But we can't right now!"

Gao Min whispered at the door: "We could go ask Su Yang! He has a bathroom!"

Zhang Ruolin fell silent for a moment, then finally asked: "Is that allowed?"

"I can't, but you can!"

"Me?"

"Yes, you! I won't go near Su Yang!" Gao Min whispered. "Of everyone in our class, only you have the face he might grant a favor—no one else has a chance. And don't you want to shower?"

After a while, Zhang Ruolin opened the wooden door.

"Let's go ask him!"

Su Yang had just stepped out of the bathroom after showering when he heard the knock; the villa was filled with a mouthwatering aroma of meat.

Su Yang's cooking skills, from both his past and present lives, were still decent enough to show off.

He opened the door and stared in surprise at the beautiful Zhang Ruolin standing before him, along with another pretty girl from their class.

"Monitor, what's up?"

Among all of Class One, Su Yang had very few people he liked—Zhang Ruolin was one of them.

Zhang Ruolin hesitated; Gao Min secretly poked her in the back.

"Um, Su Yang, could we borrow your bathroom to take a shower?"

"Shower?"

"Yes!" Now that the words were out, Zhang Ruolin no longer hesitated. "Don't worry—I'll shower with Gao Min, and we'll use as little water as possible. Later, when I hunt beasts, I'll repay you with core crystals—at the supermarket's shower voucher price."

Zhang Ruolin's pride prevented her from openly taking advantage of Su Yang.

"Alright, there's still plenty of water left in the bathroom—you can use it."

The villa had a daily water quota, but it was always more than enough, and since Su Yang showered quickly, there was still a large amount of hot water stored today—plenty for two girls to bathe.

"Thank you!"

"No problem, go ahead!"

The two girls held hands and entered Su Yang's villa.

"Oh my god! So unfair! There's air conditioning!"

"So spacious!"

"We're living in a pigsty!"

"Even the pigs in Qixing City's pig farm live better than we do now!"

"I want to see the bedroom…"

Zhang Ruolin quickly covered Gao Min's mouth and shot Su Yang an embarrassed glance.
