Copy of Resentment

jian slid his hand inside his pocket and gently caressed it.
There was a switchblade within.
Although it was easy to cause suspicion when someone saw this kind of thing in him.
But, after all, going out will make him feel uneasy if he doesn’t wear any form of self-defense on his body.

“What am I going to do? I won’t hurt you.” Lu Shen groaned deeply, “I’m just worried about you.”

Again, that awkward feeling.
Bian Shengjian glanced at him silently without saying a word, then turned to stare at the lake not far away, where the waves shimmered slightly under the moonlight.
How did they come here?

Bian Shengjian stared at the lake in the distance, the night was empty and silent, except for the somewhat unsightly warning sign standing beside the lake.
At a glance, the lake water had been dyed silver by the moonlight.
It has a peculiar attraction which makes people suddenly want to go to the lake and sit for a while– 

“We can only climb over a window to enter the dormitory building,” Lu Shen suddenly turned sideways and blocked his sight, “The door is locked.”

“Obviously because it is now late.” Bian Shengtong glanced at him and retracted his gaze, “It doesn’t matter anyway.”

“Are you… still angry?” Lu Shen looked at the small wound on the side of his face that was no longer bleeding.
His tone became a little guilty.
“Sorry, I punched you hard.”

“Shut up.” Bian Shengjian said.

Generally speaking, if he fights with someone, he will make sure to definitely return each hit the opponent landed on him.
Earlier, he didn’t hold back when he punched Lu Shen on his abdomen.
He was surprised he didn’t even throw up.

He thought about it and glanced at Lu Shen up and down, the two of them were clearly entangled and rolling on the ground, even the grass was flattened.
Yet, while his face was covered in dirt, Lu Shen actually looked unscathed and was even walking very lightly.
It made it hard for Bian Shengjian not to wonder if he was born with some magical anti-beating physique. 

When they managed to enter downstairs, the whole building was already dark.
Only the safety exit sign next to the fire extinguisher placed on each floor was still glowing with pale green light.
From a distance, it looked like a bunch of ghost fires floating in the darkness, which was weird and a little scary. 

Bian Shengjian and Lu Shen walked around to the other side of the dormitory with ease.
When they climbed a window, the two cooperated very well.
It didn’t even take much effort.
They trotted up the stairs quietly, that not even a sound of their footsteps could be heard. 

“Aren’t there students doing self-study in the dormitory?” Bian Shengjian finally breathed a sigh of relief when they finally reached the fifth floor.
He took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time.
“It’s still a little after 9 o’clock, and everyone has already turned off the lights?” He felt astonished.

“Well, it’s lights-out once the clock strikes 9.” Lu Shen nodded.

“Even if the lights are turned off, there would be some movement, right?” Bian Shengjian frowned.
Although he didn’t pay attention to the number of people living in the dormitory building, if it was his previous school, it would be impossible for the dormitory to be quiet before 11 o’clock in the evening.
When a huge group of people decide to play cards and have a barbecue late at night, the entire structure can be shaken to pieces.
To get everybody back to their rooms, you often have to depend on the staff to yell at the top of their lungs.

But when they went up the stairs just now, he didn’t hear any sound at all, whether it was chatting or laughing,  it was so eerily silent.

Was it because the sound insulation effect was too good, or do these people automatically fall into a coma after 9 o’clock? Bian Shengjian couldn’t help but hug his arms around himself after thinking about it.

“Go to bed early.”

Lu Shen opened the door next to Shenjian’s, paused for a while and then whispered, “Do you want a Band-Aid?”

“No need.” Bian Shengjian glanced at him, thinking about the inexplicable fight with Lu Shen a while ago, he began to feel a little irritated, but the atmosphere while standing in the corridor at the moment was too strange.
“I’ll settle the account with you tomorrow.” Without saying anything more, he closed the door.

The dormitory was still a bit messy when he left at noon, but Bian Shengjian was not in the mood to clean up at the moment.
He entered the balcony and looked at his face in the small mirror.
He gritted and complained, “He really punched me hard.”

But in the past, when fighting with someone, he had no reservations about giving his all.
It was quite easy to deal with such a small wound.
Bian Shengjian took out a small medicine box from the cupboard.
He disinfected the wound with alcohol and put a transparent Band-Aid over the wound.
Fortunately, the wound left by Lu Shen was not too big.
After a few days, it should scab and fall off.

After finishing the treatment, Bian Shengjian went into the bathroom to take a shower.
He felt annoyed for a while before placing the changed clothing in a bag and putting them aside for the time being.
When he  came back from going out, he noticed  a very inconspicuous small dry cleaning shop next to the school.
Although he didn’t know how the service quality was, it was better than washing clothes in the sink on the broken balcony.
He frowned at the thought in disgust.

“Let’s go to Lao Tan tomorrow to discuss whether the dormitory can be equipped with a washing machine.” Bian Shengjian sighed and lay down on the bed, grabbed the guitar that was leaning on the side and played a few notes, and hummed softly–

But even if he got a moment of relaxation at this moment, a bunch of things that happened tonight kept walking back and forth in Bian Shengjian’s mind:

–First, I went to the barbecue shop and met a freak.
When I went back to school, I had a fight with Lu Shen.
Then I was inexplicably driven back to the dormitory by an old man holding a strong flashlight waving it like a gangster…

Bian Shengjian sighed again, played a few tunes at random, and then got out of bed and turned off the light.
His experience in this school alone was enough for him to write half a book of wonderful life memoirs.
He still had to get a good night’s sleep first though.

What is so noisy?

He was about to turn around and ignore it, yet he suddenly stopped.
He had only now noticed that his balcony was facing the mountain behind the school.
After turning off the lights at night, it became hauntingly dark.
When the wind blew, shadows of trees shook in his field of vision, adding to the dreadful setting.

“Fuck.” Bian Shengjian couldn’t help but curse and hurriedly cover himself with a blanket, but paused halfway through.

Wait, what’s that sound?

He frowned.
He got up and slowly approached the balcony.
He leaned sideways and listened carefully for a while–

Apart from some small noises, Bian Shengjian’s naturally sensitive hearing quickly caught some other sounds in the wind, as if they were slowly spreading from far to near–

This is… a bell tolling?
