The class leader, unlike me, wasn’t interested in listening to bedside talk. She took the most rational approach and called Gong CaiCai’s cell phone to see from which room we would hear a familiar ring.

  But the attempt failed, Gong CaiCai didn’t turn on her phone and neither did Zhuang Ni.

  I said from the side: “If I were in a room with underage girls, I would have had them turn off their phones too.”


  Apparently the class leader didn’t appreciate my analysis of criminal psychology. She rolled her eyes at me then shouted down the hallway.

  “Gong CaiCai, Zhuang Ni, there’s someone looking for you at the front desk.”


  Her sharp voice startled the cleaning staff, who walked over to advise the class leader, but retreated when they saw my vicious face behind her.

  The class leader shouted again, but didn’t hear any replies nor did she notice any unusual noises coming from one of the rooms.

  “Where did they go?” The class leader was worried, “I didn’t think two girls from our class would……”


  I suddenly came to a realization and interrupted the class leader.

  “Come to think of it, Zhuang Ni might have the courage to do anything, but Gong CaiCai doesn’t. Not to mention the other day we just went to celebrate her birthday, and didn’t notice anything unusual……”


  “Then why did she come to this hotel? Why did she put on a disguise if she just wanted to take a rest?”


  I suddenly got serious and asked the class leader, “I heard from Loud Mouth that Zhuang Ni straight up told you she likes you and wants to go out with you.”


  “What…… kind of useless stuff are you saying.” The class leader reddened with embarrassment and blamed me for bringing it up.

  I was unmoved and continued to analyze like Sherlock Holmes, “Based on the available information, Zhuang Ni has lesbian tendencies. If she and Gong CaiCai walked into the same hotel, it might be too coincidental to be just a coincidence, so the truth might be……”


  The class leader couldn’t help but cover her mouth that was agape from surprise.

  Because Zhuang Ni served as a literature committee member in her first year, and Gong CaiCai’s chalk writing was very good, the two used to be in charge of the class blackboard together. They used to add a lot of color to the back wall of the class and their relationship became closer.

  The important task of protecting Gong CaiCai from bullies used to be Zhuang Ni’s duty before the class leader took over. Although Zhuang Ni has always appeared to be mentally unstable and physically unfit, but being stared at by her cold and grim gaze was more effective than being rebuked by the class leader.

  The consequences of disobeying the class leader might be bad, but the consequences of disobeying Zhuang Ni. She’s capable of doing anything since she doesn’t value her own life.

  Basically, Zhuang Ni and Gong CaiCai is in a “protector” and “protectee” relationship. For Gong CaiCai birthday, she also tried to invite Zhuang Ni, but she refused because she said she “hates crowded places”.

  “Could it be that Zhuang Ni…… is going to lay her hands on Cai Cai after being rejected by me.”


  The class leader muttered to herself with a hint of self-blame.

  It was pointless staring at a closed door and making random speculations is also useless, the class leader found the contact information of Gong CaiCai parents and gave them a call.

  “Hello, I’m the class leader of class 2-3, is Gong CaiCai home?”


  “Um, yes, I have a question about our studies……”


  “She’s out to give supplementary lessons to a classmate who hasn’t been to school for a long time? Okay thanks, I understand……”


  The class leader hung up and had an expression that said ‘It’s awful’.

  I was much more relaxed after it was confirmed Gong CaiCai was with Zhuang Ni.

  “Why are you worried if the two of them are together, it’s better than booking a room with a man. I don’t think we need to investigate anymore……”


  “Who said there’s no need.” The class president said seriously, “Zhuang Ni has strange ideas, so who knows what she will do to Gong CaiCai.”


  “I don’t think it would be anything too out of the ordinary. Probably stuff lesbians do, kissing or touching each other……”


  To be more graphic, I subconsciously made a grasping and pinching action, and a lewd expression appeared on my face.

  Damn, I got too excited because I discovered my female classmates might be lesbians and I accidentally mistook the class leader as one of those bad friends like Eunuch Cao where you could speak your mind.

  The class leader naturally interpreted my gesture as a desire to grab a girl’s breasts (I was merely trying to imitate Zhuang Ni). She shielded her upper body, took a step back, and warned:

  “Although I appreciate your help, but if you do anything rude to me, I won’t forgive you.”


  So a gun waiting for me? What a familiar threat.

  “And you had to book a room with a fake ID so we could come to the second floor…… I will pay you back later, but please respect me.”


  I felt I was wrongly accused. I didn’t have any indecent thoughts because I was the one who paid. I just felt making a girl pay was a bit……

  “Class leader, there’s no way I would make you pay the first time we book a room together……”


  The class leader glared at me fiercely and almost slapped me.

  The class leader was already against ‘booking a room’, so I’m just asking to be hit if I said ‘booking a room together’.

  “So now what?” I asked, “Are we going to go knocking room by room to see which room Gong CaiCai and Zhuang Ni are in? If we cause such a big ruckus, then we’re going to be invited out by the security.”


  After the class leader shouted Gong CaiCai and Zhuang Ni out loud, we got glared at by a large-waisted security guard from afar, but he didn’t take action because we didn’t do anything else.

  The class leader held her chin and thought for a while, “I don’t have any good ideas for the time being. So we’re going to split up and pretend to be workers, then knock and ask if they need room service. I could confirm their identity as long as either Gong CaiCai or Zhuang Ni replies.

  It was something we had to do because we had no other choices. The class leader and I split up to two sides and began knocking on the doors, while asking in a polite tone:

  “Excuse me, do you need room service?”


  Few people actually came to answer the door, ninety-nine percent of them shouted, “No, I don’t need any.” There were even bad-tempered people who directly yelled: “Are you blind? Don’t you see the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign?”


  The middle aged lady worker who cleaned the corridor was horrified to see two guests acting as her colleague. She stood there staring at us, wondering what we wanted.

  When it was the class leader’s turn to knock on the door, a middle-aged gorilla-like man in opened the door in his shorts. He saw the class leader who asked “if you need room service”. He noticed she wasn’t wearing an uniform, so he immediately made a mistaken judgment. He looked at the class leader with eyes that wanted to strip her naked and said while drooling:

  “Yes, I need room service.”


  If the class leader was willing to provide that kind of room service, then I also want it.

  Seeing the class leader well up in anger, but was forced to keep it in, I rushed over and hugged the class leader’s waist, and faked a complaint: “I already told you to not drink so much, now you’re just speaking nonsense.” At the same time I glared fiercely at the hairy gorilla.

  He must have been very uncomfortable with my death glare, so he said, “Keep an eye on your own girl, don’t let her run around.” Then he closed his door.

  It made the class leader feel unpleasant being mistaken as a ‘service girl’, I told the class leader to ignore him, then took responsibility and continued to knock on the doors the class leader hadn’t reached yet.

  “Do you need room service?”


  The rooms were either empty or someone would reply ‘no need’. I was discouraged, but then the last door opened.

  I thought it was Zhuang Ni or Gong CaiCai opening the door in their pajamas, but it was a tall, thin man wearing glasses. He saw that I wasn’t in an uniform and he made the same expression as the hairy gorilla and said:

  “I need it, I need room service.” Then he gestured me into the room.

  The world is too scary, I just want to go back to Mars! I could understand someone getting the wrong idea about the class leader, but what’s up with someone getting the wrong idea about me?

  So I hurriedly said: “I only knocked because I lost a bet, I have to go.”


  I turned and left, but the man stuffed a business card in my hip pocket, then he said passionately:

  “No worries. Contact me if you’re interested.”


  Damn, I have to go, there’s actually a homosexual in the hotel who’s attracted to me!

  The class leader, who saw everything, felt a bit more relieved about her earlier experience and had a dumbfounded expression on her face.

  “They aren’t here. What should we do?” I asked for the class leader’s opinion.

  “It’s not like we didn’t get any results.” The class leader pointed to the three rooms on the west side of the corridor, “There were no replies from these rooms, but after I listened carefully, I could tell that there are people inside. Gong CaiCai and Zhuang Ni should be in one of these rooms.”


  “It looks like we’re lucky.” I said.

  The class leader didn’t understand what I meant.

  “Look.” I pointed to the position of room 214 relative to the other three rooms while explaining, “If you want to go downstairs, you have pass by our room. We just need to hide in the room and watch the hallway from the peephole. We will immediately see Gong CaiCai and Zhuang Ni when they come out.”


  “Why should we hide in the room and why would they come out?”


  “It’s simple.” I laughed, “You caused a big ruckus in the hallway and knocked door to door, so Zhuang Ni and Gong CaiCai must know you followed them. Even if they had nerves of steel, they wouldn’t be able to comfortably perform lesbian acts.”


  “Zhuang Ni and Gong CaiCai might not be in that kind of relationship.” The class leader retorted without much confidence.

  “Anyway, I think they already have thoughts of leaving, but they aren’t going to come out with us blocking the way. If we hide in room 214, they will quietly sneak out then we could catch them red-handed.”


  Looking at the security guards who constantly walked up and down the stairs to keep watch on us, the class leader can only admit that there was no better way.

  So I used my card to open the electronic lock and led the class leader into room 214 which had a double bed.

  It’s not that I deliberately asked for a doubles suite because I had a dirty mind, but because I specifically asked for a room close to Gong CaiCai and was given this one. So it seems he didn’t lie, Gong CaiCai and Zhuang Ni were nearby.
