Chapter 54.1 Legs (1)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Chai Xiaohe had already begun washing herself, while Ye Shangyu seemed like she wasn’t in a hurry to get herself wet.
Despite wearing a bath towel and being in the communal bathroom, it still wasn’t warm enough. Ye Shangyu was putting her toiletries on the stand, and after, turned to the direction of the inner parts of the bathroom, generally trying to understand the structure of the communal area.
There were a total of 40 shower heads inside the girl’s bathroom with only 30 being deemed usable.
Although it was a holiday, there were still a lot of people who went to take a shower, causing all of the showerheads to be fully used.
Because almost everyone was taking a shower, the drainage system inside the girl’s communal bathroom couldn’t keep up with the water they were using.
As a result, a semi-thick layer of goopy used water covered the bathroom floor. If one were to go through the bathroom, their sandals will be fully immersed in the swamp-like water.
As Ye Shangyu walked across the bathroom, the filthy water mixed with used shampoo and shower gel continuously splashed on her ankles, disgusting her in the process.
Ye Shangyu flicked her slippers and let the nauseating sewage water flow into the crevices of her feet. Her brows remained furrowed as she went around inside the bathroom.
“Shangyu, where did you go? Didn’t you say that this place is already good?”
“I’ll just go to the toilet inside.” Ye Shangyu saw a toilet inside the girl’s communal bathroom just a moment ago and used this as an excuse to slip away.
At this moment, Ye Shangyu still hadn’t been touched by running water, while Chai Xiaohe had already made her entire body wet and had even used shampoo to wash her hair.
Because Blue Sky College’s winter days were truly freezing, Chai Xiaohe let the hot water run freely to flow through every inch of her body. Even if she was just washing her hair, she still let the water run, letting her body keep warm.
Ye Shangyu curiously lowered her head, following along the drainage’s groove with her eyes, and saw that the bathroom’s first most right side row was where the drainage was at.
The female communal bathroom was filled with bathing women, which meant that a lot of people were washing their hair. As a result, to prevent the main drain from clogging up, the bathroom’s cleaning staff strategically installed an iron filter to catch any fine hairs falling into the drain.
It was because of this that the drainage system was particularly slow to remove the tepid water, causing it to accumulate on the bathroom floor.
After examining all of the bathroom’s facilities, Ye Shangyu finally placed her card on the machine as the water started trickling down her head.
Hot water poured down on Ye Shangyu’s body. She used the water to dampen her hair but didn’t apply her shampoo, only beginning to wash her body.
Upon seeing this in her peripheral vision, Chai Xiaohe asked, “Shangyu, won’t you wash your hair?”
“I washed it yesterday.”
Ye Shangyu replied this simple reason to Chai Xiaohe, but in her heart, this wasn’t the real cause at all.
When washing one’s hair, one’s eyes will be closed because of oncoming foam from the top of one’s head. And, in this game, not being able to see with one’s eyes would leave anyone in a dangerous situation. Even if it were for only a few seconds, it would already be enough for a ghost to do a dirty little trick on her.
The hot water was falling on her head, but Ye Shangyu’s eyesight was still leveled to the wall. Even if hot water was splashed in her eyes, she only needed to blink to keep her vision clean.
Soon, her whole body was wet and as Ye Shangyu was absent-mindedly smearing shower gel, her eyes didn’t stop sweeping across the area, secretly keeping guard for the ghost story that could appear at any time.
“Sss—— So cold!”
The door of the girl’s bathroom suddenly burst open.
Gazing at the wide-open door, Chai Xiaohe angrily said, “Does that person not have any common sense? She’s already a college student, and she still doesn’t know how to close the door properly! Does she want me to freeze!”
At this moment, Chai Xiaohe regretted her decision of going along with her roommate. If she knew that this would happen, then she wouldn’t have listened to Ye Shangyu’s decision. At the door, people came and went, but not everyone closed the door properly.
Unable to bear the constant gusts of cold wind, Chai Xiaohe ran towards the door and closed it with frustration.
Ye Shangyu frowned in response.
In this circumstance, closing the door was equivalent to closing off an escape route.
However, it was Chai Xiaohe that took the initiative to close the door. In truth, she also didn’t want to close it again, but there was a woman who had just finished bathing and went out. She pulled open the door and entered the changing room, and just like the others before her, she didn’t close the door as well.
“Damn! It’s a never ending cycle!”
Chai Xiaohe planned on angrily closing the door once more, but Ye Shangyu promptly stopped her, “We’ll still be showering here for a while. If you close it again, there’s no telling if the next one to go through would close the door. Don’t bother with it anymore.”
“Hai, if I knew about this earlier, I wouldn’t have listened to you. We should have gone in more and taken our showers there.” Chai Xiaohe sighed.
“There’s no room inside. We’d have to stand in line.” Ye Shangyu said apologetically, “Let’s just bear with it a bit more and leave, then everything will be okay.”
Chai Xiaohe didn’t say anything else as she locked the numerous and snarky remarks she wanted to say deep in her heart.
She quickly finished showering, and Ye Shangyu was also hurrying to wash off the soap from her body.
Soon, they were both finished with their wash. So, Ye Shangyu estimated the time they’ve spent here, her heart becoming more and more on guard.
“Ah! The power’s out!”
“How could there be a blackout! How many times has this happened in school already? Does the school even care about this problem?”
“I’ll freeze to death. A power outage is a power outage, but why is the water also cold!”
In almost an instant, the female bathroom was immediately plunged into darkness.
Being below the ground floor, the women’s bath didn’t have a single window in it.
As a result, as soon as the lights went out, the whole bath became nothing but pitch-black darkness with only cries of surprise coming out from everywhere.
“My heavens, this water is too cold! I don’t want to shower anymore! I’m leaving!”
From a distance, Ye Shangyu heard a girl’s complaint.
At her side, Chai Xiaohe also couldn’t help but grumble, “We’re so unlucky! We suddenly experienced a power outage!”
“Is a power outage common in the communal bath?” Ye Shangyu asked.
“You could say that. It had already happened around six or seven times before. I had just experienced one not too long ago. Sigh… how could I run into this again? How unlucky!”
Chai Xiaohe complained as she felt the used water slowly creep up her ankles, her face immediately turning green from disgust.
Amid the bathroom’s blackout, Chai Xiaohe wanted to get out, but unfortunately, the shower gel on her body still wasn’t washed off yet. With only cold water running through the nozzles, she had no other choice but to quickly rinse off the soapy residue, planning to leave without any delay once it’s all off.
While Chai Xiaohe was rinsing off, Ye Shangyu knew that the ghost story had begun.
Although she couldn’t see anything, her attention was still focused on any slight changes in her surroundings. After a few seconds, the loud shrieks from the people next to them came through, startling all of the girls at the same time.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh! Help! There’s a ghost!”
“Damn, did those people without any conscience start making jokes? Don’t scare the others!”
“Who was it? Who was it that groped my butt? Are you shameless?”
“Xiaoqi, I’m not deceiving you! There’s really a ghost! There’s a ghost pulling on my hand!”
Amid all the screams, the women’s bathroom was thrown into total chaos.
Hearing all kinds of shrieks from all around, Chai Xiaohe was at a loss for words, “They’re all just fooling around, going this far! Isn’t this just an electrical failure?”
Chai Xiaohe paid no mind to them and just continued washing off the gel, wanting to quickly leave this place and be as far away from the disarray girl’s communal bathroom as possible.
However, when she was washing herself, she felt that something was wrong. Chai Xiaohe moved the shower sponge to her chest, surprised as she said, “Shangyu, how could you give me a backrub right now? You don’t need to do it now.”
“Backrub? Who’s touching your back? I’m still standing at my original spot, and I haven’t moved at all. Listen, the water from above is still flowing!”
“What? If it’s not you, then who’s behind…?”
