Chapter 572: Chapter 572

At this time, the hottest show would definitely be "Meteor Garden", but Zhou Yiyi felt this TV series was a bit foolishly pretentious, anyway, she just didn’t like it, so she would rather watch "Big House". However, as she watched, she felt her eyes getting tired, so she simply started browsing web pages, keeping up with some of this year’s current affairs.

Zhou Mo and Lin Mu were playing "Immortal Sword". She watched for a while but couldn’t understand it, Lin Mu invited her to play together, she shook her head, clearly not very interested, and could only continue to watch her "Big House", well aware of what was coming next but still struggling to keep her eyes open. As she watched, her eyelids stopped cooperating.

This was her evident biological clock. Since coming to this life, she had never stayed up all night, even when she was in her space, but the outside world would go to bed around ten o’clock, especially since she had overestimated her interest in internet cafés. She played for a while but soon lost interest. However, thinking that she shouldn’t waste money, she started playing single-player games like "Super Mario" and "Zuma", and that indeed perked her up.

At twelve o’clock, Lin Mu went out to buy three canned coffees because staring at the screen for a long time made them tired, so they drank coffee while standing behind Zhou Yiyi, watching her play Zuma.

Zhou Yiyi was also getting tired, but the coffee was refreshing. She unapologetically opened it and took a drink, then turned her head to look at them, "Have you two learned to smoke yet?"

She had wanted to ask this question since she walked in but hadn’t found the opportunity until now. Upon being asked by Zhou Yiyi, Lin Mu smirked mischievously, while Zhou Mo frowned.

From their micro-expressions, she immediately turned her attention to Lin Mu, "You do, right?"

"Yeah, I was curious a long time ago. Once when my dad wasn’t home, I secretly tried it and almost choked to death. But sometimes I smoke at the night market because it can keep me awake and repel mosquitoes, but I don’t smoke much. Zhou Mo really hates the smell. I tell him he lacks the scent of a man."

Zhou Yiyi pursed her lips, "Not smoking is good for oneself and others, smoking harms oneself and harms others. Lin Mu, you better take care of yourself!"

The three joked around for another two or three hours until she could no longer hold up and then collapsed asleep in the corner of the couch.

When Zhou Mo noticed her, he didn’t know how long she had been asleep. He heard Lin Mu shouting with his headphones on and quickly stopped him.

"Don’t shout, Yiyi has fallen asleep, I’ll go to the front desk for a blanket,"

Lin Mu stood up and saw Zhou Yiyi sleeping soundly, so he walked over and picked her up around the waist. The weight of her in his arms made him instinctively lean forward, but luckily he reacted quickly and steadied himself to stand upright. He then carried her to his spot and laid her down, just as Zhou Mo came in with the blanket. Seeing Zhou Yiyi had been moved, he walked over and covered her with the blanket.

"This girl doesn’t look tall or fat, but she’s quite heavy."

Lin Mu commented as he exited the gaming interface and sat down where Zhou Yiyi had been, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up, let’s play for a while."

Zhou Mo looked at the drool at the corner of Zhou Yiyi’s mouth, hesitating whether to wipe it or not. Lin Mu’s shout brought him back to reality. He took out a tissue from his pocket, tore off a piece, then with a look of disgust, lowered his head, straightened her head, and forcefully wiped the corner of her mouth.

Lin Mu saw everything clearly from his angle and was just about to make a comment when suddenly she turned over, and her body made a ’poof’ sound. The two boys at the scene froze at the same moment, and after who knew how long, Lin Mu couldn’t help but chuckle, "So, that sound just now, was that her?"

Zhou Mo’s face turned to steel as he sat down in his own spot, and Lin Mu burst out laughing loudly.

"Ha ha ha, Yiyi, I have to remember this for the next time she picks on me, and then I’ll give her a piece of my mind."

Zhou Mo’s face looked extremely ugly, but Lin Mu ignored him and just played by himself.

Yiyi had a very uncomfortable sleep, her nose assailed by a nasty smell of smoke. She was rudely awakened by Lin Mu shaking her.

"Hey, Yiyi, you sure slept like a log, didn’t you? Look at the drool at the corner of your mouth. Could you drool any more?"

As Yiyi’s vision gradually cleared and she saw Lin Mu’s enlarged face, she focused her eyes and suddenly sat up only to exclaim—

"Ouch, Lin Mu, are you trying to kill me? Damn it, I think I see stars now."

"Yiyi, and you still have the nerve to say I hit you? It was clearly you who bumped into me. Ouch, it still hurts, it made me tear up."

As the two of them complained to each other, Zhou Mo came over, took the blanket off Yiyi, folded it neatly, and pulled her up.

"Let’s go, have some breakfast to warm up, then we can head back to the dorm for a good sleep."

Yiyi got up holding her head reluctantly and glared at Lin Mu a few times. As they left the private room, they noticed that there was hardly anyone at the hall’s machines—the staff were cleaning. Rumor had it there was a morning market from eight to twelve, which attracted a lot of students because of the five yuan deals. No wonder it was so quiet at quarter past seven.

Stepping out of the internet café, a gust of wind blew, and Yiyi shivered involuntarily. Zhou Mo looked back at her, "Is it very cold?"

"It’s nothing, just not used to it fresh out of there. Let’s go have beef soup, and remember, it’s my treat this time, no one fights me for it."

"Wow, you remembered. Ha ha, don’t worry, I won’t argue with you. This young master has already spent all his money,"

Zhou Mo pulled her onto the back seat of his bike, riding not too fast because if they arrived too early, the old security guard would easily guess they were heading to the morning market, so they had to loiter until well past eight.

They meandered around for about thirty to forty minutes before they reached the beef soup place near the school entrance. It was crowded even early in the morning because this shop was quite popular, and they had to wait a bit for seats.

Three bowls of beef soup with flatbread costs five yuan each, and you could add as much as you liked. The meatballs were genuinely substantial, making it a great deal. Adding some chili—oh, the taste was wonderful. The chill gathered from the cold morning melted away the moment the soup went down the hatch.

After eating, at quarter past eight, Zhou Mo dropped her off at the dormitory, telling her to rest well, and then the two guys went back to their own dorm.

Zhou Mo’s dormitory building was a bit deserted. Unlike later years, the school would not be closed on the weekend, as some students lived in nearby counties, so the dorms were open. They rarely went home because it was too strenuous, and when they missed home, their parents came to visit and gave them some pocket money. So when Yiyi opened the door to her dorm, she faced an empty space.

She took a shower in her space, changed into pajamas, washed the clothes she had been wearing, and then comfortably lay down on her bed to catch up on sleep...
