The two waitresses were likely students doing internships during their winter break. They were hiding in a corner, gossiping behind their supervisor's back, but ultimately got caught.
As the supervisor dragged them away, Shi Li could no longer hear their chatter.
However, Shi Li was almost done with breakfast anyway, so she didn't need the background noise to pass the time anymore.
Daytime was free activity time for everyone. Shi Li planned to soak in the hot springs for a while to relax, then go back to her room for a nap.
Because everyone wanted to join Shi Li in "eating melons" (a Chinese expression for enjoying gossip or drama), afraid of missing any important parts, they all decided to stick close to Shi Li today.
Then, a strange scene unfolded at the hot spring resort. A tall, beautiful girl wearing a swimsuit with a bathrobe over it was followed by a large group of similarly dressed young men and women.
If they weren't all wearing swimsuits, one might suspect the beautiful girl was filming a gang revenge movie.
Not only did outsiders find it bizarre, but Shi Li also felt uneasy about it.
They had agreed on free time, but everyone was still hanging around her. When she soaked in the hot springs, everyone else did too.
When she left the hot spring pool, everyone synchronized their movements and left with her.
It was as if she had suddenly acquired thirty spiritual attachments for no apparent reason.
When she went to the sauna room to steam, this time not everyone followed her in, but there was a reason for that. The sauna room had limited space, unlike a classroom that could fit thirty people at once.
The male classmates, to avoid any impropriety, went to another sauna room.
At this moment, the boys deeply regretted not being girls.
Shi Li watched the male classmates walk away and asked a soul-searching question in her mind: [Doesn't using a sauna kill sperm?]
Others quickly pulled out their phones to search for answers. Faced with the ambiguous results from search engines, everyone fell into deep thought: Did the male classmates hear that? Should they remind them again?
The penetrating power of Shi Li's inner thoughts was well-known to everyone, so to avoid putting themselves in an awkward position, they chose to selectively not hear it.
As for whether the male classmates heard Shi Li's thoughts, seeing their classmates leaving the sauna room next door one after another through the transparent glass, everyone could be sure they had heard 100%.
It was hilarious - when it came to certain matters, there wasn't a single man who could remain indifferent.
The female classmates steamed with Shi Li for about half an hour, looking a bit disheveled when they left the sauna room.
At this point, the thoughtful class monitor led a group of male classmates waiting outside with clean towels, promptly offering warm towels to prevent catching a cold from the temperature change.
According to Shi Li's plan, she should have returned to her room for a nap at this point, but she had a group of people following her.
She smiled at everyone and said, "You guys go have fun. I want to go back to my room for a nap."
Everyone was shocked by her desire to return to her room to sleep. What should they do? They couldn't all camp out in Shi Li's room, with her sleeping in the bedroom while they partied in the living room.
Wouldn't that be a bit too intimate?
Not to mention how Shi Li would view it, even they themselves would think this behavior was outrageous and crazy.
It's really hard to be a normal person, isn't it? QAQ
Having shared many "melons" together, the classmates understood each other very well. With just a glance, Shi Qiuyu and Gao Yun understood what everyone meant.
As Shi Li's best friends, it was time for them to step up. If they didn't go to hell, who would?
Shi Qiuyu had a numb expression on her face. How could she possibly know how to persuade Shi Li with her bizarre thought process?
It was up to Gao Yun, who had been given a few days off at the end of the semester, allowing her to join her classmates in "eating melons."
Because she didn't have many opportunities to "eat melons," she cherished every chance.
She stepped forward. Gao Yun, with great dedication, stepped forward.
She wasn't doing it for herself, but for all her classmates!
At this moment, she wasn't alone. She represented the entire class!
With a face reminiscent of a certain Teacher Tang's lecturing expression, she said: "At your age, how can you even sleep?"
This was from an audio clip Shi Li had once sent her, telling her to set it as her wake-up alarm.
Shi Li stared at her seriously and said, "My grades are good, so I can sleep."
Gao Yun: This grade insult, I can't take it anymore. Someone else, please.
She sought help from Shi Qiuyu with her eyes. Shi Qiuyu said straightforwardly, "Alright, we'll walk you back."
Everyone: It seems we understand her meaning.
Sure enough, after escorting Shi Li back to her room, Shi Qiuyu stuck to the sofa and wouldn't leave.
"You go ahead and sleep. We won't disturb you."
Looking at her classmates standing in the living room, Shi Li nodded without questioning and truly turned to go back to her bedroom for a nap.
Everyone: So, just like that?
It was absurd yet somewhat amusing.
Gao Yun felt even more like a clown now. wwww
After soaking in the hot springs, people tend to feel especially tired. Shi Li slept for a long time.
When she opened her eyes, the room was a bit dark due to the setting sun.
She pushed open the bedroom door and was horrified to find her classmates still in the living room.
Someone was stuffing food into their mouth, and when they turned to see her expression, it was like they had seen Tarzan.
Gao Yun, quick-witted, poured her a glass of warm water. "You must be hungry. We knew you'd be hungry when you woke up, so we specially ordered food from the kitchen."
Shi Li: [Prepared for me, but you guys ate it first]
Gao Yun laughed awkwardly and pulled her to the sofa. "What else do you want to eat? We can order more from the kitchen."
Shi Li sipped the warm water slowly. She had to admit, after waking up thirsty, she really needed a glass of warm water like this.
She glanced at the clock on the wall. [If I remember correctly, it's after nightfall. I could have dinner now to avoid getting hungry later when we're eating melons]
Everyone mentally took out their notebooks to jot down the key information, filling in "after nightfall" in the time column.
[I wonder which room Yan Hanyi is staying in. We'll have to rely on sound to identify it]
The classmates who had ridden the elevator with Yan Hanyi couldn't wait to raise their hands: We know, we remember!
