Donât Close Your Eyes At Me
Chapter 67: Transition
School cafeterias and bathrooms would always be most crowded places.
But this school didnât have a public bath.
Preserving the dignity of a âcompulsoryâ boarding high school, the living conditions werenât too badââ-
For the first and second years, the rooms are shared amongst four students and for the third years, two shared a room. Each room had their own private bathroom as well as a balcony.
Although the little fatty wasnât tall and was even round, he was indeed a senior at this school.
The rooms in his dormitory were double rooms and this was the same for You Huo and Qin Jiu.
âTo prevent students from indulging themselves and wasting time, hot water will only be available from 9-12 in the evening.â The little fatty explained: âHere, there is a card slot here. If you put your meal card in, you can get water. Money would be deducted from the card. You can just think of it as money to cover the water bill. Itâs also to prevent everyone from showering too long.â
âWhy is it 9 oâclock?â
âBecause the most relaxed students, those first-year brats finish their evening self study classes at 9.â
âYouâre a minor too yet you call others brats so easily.â Qin Jiu said.
âThatâs because weâre old birds now.â The little fatty faked pretentious maturity.
You Huo couldnât guarantee that he wouldnât be sleepy during the day. If possible, he would like to shower and go to bed.
âCan you take it earlier?â
âUnfortunately not. Everything is unified here. Itâs the same for the teacherâs apartments.â
Qin Jiu: âThere are also teacherâs apartments?â
The little fatty pointed somewhere out the balcony: âThe angle here is a little tricky and there are walls blocking it but if you go this way, there are two buildings. Theyâre the teacherâs apartments. In fact, the teacherâs apartments are also double rooms, but they also have a living room and a kitchen like normal apartments. Ah, thatâs right, why didnât they arrange accommodations for you over there?â
Because the system is an idiot who couldnât tolerate seeing them being comfortable.
The window of the balcony was very clean but there were iron bars outside of it, dividing the large window into small pieces. It made everything feel a little confined.
Qin Jiu reached out and shook it before commenting: âNot bad, pretty solid. But can something like this stop those subjectively conjured things of yours?â

The little fatty said: âItâs not installed to stop demons and ghosts. Theyâre in place to stop us.â
âStop you from what? Worried about you escaping faster than the ghosts?â
âJumping off.â The little fatty said, âAll the windows from the second floor up have it. Donât even dream about breaking a bone.â
ââŚâŚâŚâŚ.â
The little fatty was a very passionate tour guide. He introduced every nook and cranny.
Students overwhelmed with heavy workloads all have this problem. As long as they are able to get out of class a little, they were willing to even take the two guests through fire and water.
You Huo listened to his rambles one after another and casually looked through the furnishings in the room.
When he pulled open a drawer, his movements stopped.
Because there was something in the drawer.
It was a keychain.
In addition to two keys, there was also a mini bear accessory.
You Huo froze for a moment before grabbing the key and asking Zhang Ming: âWhere did this thing come from?â
He recognised that keychain. It was Yu Wenâs.
The bear accessory was something his girlfriend gave him. Yu Wen was worried about his father asking about it and had used his brother as a cover up.
He said to Old Yu: âThis is something someone with a crush on my brother gave. My brother didnât want it, so I took it.â
Old Yu actually believed this nonsense.
Because Yu Wen had unilaterally confessed about it to You Huo, he recognised this bear.
Even the scratch marks on the bearâs butt was exactly the same. It was indeed Yu Wenâs.
And the little fattyâs next words confirmed this thought of his.
âIt belongs to the people who had stayed here before.â Zhang Ming said: âIt was a student from the last group of transfer students and his dad, surnamed Yu. Uncle Old Yu came to accompany him but he fell sick and was in bed for many days, so I didnât speak to him much. But I got very close with Brother Yu! Itâs probably something they accidentally left behind.â
You Huo didnât expect to find traces left by Yu Wen and Old Yu here.

He asked the little fatty: âWhat happened to them after that?â
âYou mean Brother Yu?â The little fatty said: âHeâs very amazing. He even saved me once! Out of all the transfer students who came, only him, Uncle Yu who accompanied him and another man was fine. But they left right after the monthly exam. Director Xiao personally sent them off.â
âAmazing?â Hearing this description, You Huo almost thought he had made a mistake.
The little fatty nodded: âYeah. UhâŚâŚ.He would still get scared when chased by ghosts but he was very reliable at critical moments. Because heâs a bit older than us, he said he would protect us.â
âHe said he used to rely on being protected by his brother but here, with Old Yu falling sick, heâs the oldest so he should protect everyone.â The little fatty thought for a moment, removed his admiration filter and evaluated rationally: âExcept for talking too much, no issues.â
This surprised You Huo.
But that was indeed good news.
Old Yu and Yu Wen are still alive. That was probably the best news he had heard today.

Soon, Director Xiao and the others came.
Two sets of toiletries and two campus cards were given, and they even considerately prepared them an emergency box of medicine.
âThe school clinic prepared this. Because the situation is rather special right now, every room is given one.â Director Xiao said: âA box for colds and another for fever. The primary purpose is for the inflammation and pain relief. Thereâs also a roll of bandages and a small box of sleeping pills.â
Qin Jiu who saw the sleeping pills laughed.
He pointed to someone next to him and said: âOur top stuâŚ..I mean, Teacher A, ignoring everything else, his sleep quality is much better than everyone here. Compared to sleeping pills, I might need some soothing ointment or essential balm more.â (KKnotes: ć¸ ĺ沚 andéŁć˛šç˛ž was used here. Essentially, theyâre balms with a cooling effect. Kinda like Tiger Balm if anyone is familiar with it.)
You Huo intuitively knew he didnât have any good intentions: ââŚâŚâŚ.What do you need those two for?â
Qin Jiu: âWhat do you think?â
ââŚâŚâŚâŚâ
You Huo didnât want to think.
Director Xiao laughed awkwardly for a moment and wondered if it was really okay to leave the schoolâs welfare with these two here.
She felt a little despaired inside.
Teacher Zheng next to her reminded: âAfter dinner, the students have evening self-study classes. Do you want to go to the classroom to check on the situation after eating?â

Qin Jiu nodded: âSure.â
âThen you can follow Yu Luo.â Director Xiao pointed at a young female teacher: âTeacher Yu is in charge of Zhang Mingâs class and teaches Chinese. I still need to go and deal with the matters involving injured teachers later. If you need anything, feel free to ask Teacher Yu.â
Director Xiao was so busy, she couldnât even find a chance to take a break. She turned around and immediately strode off.
âWould you like to go have dinner first? There isnât much time allocated for dinner at our school,â Teacher Yuâs voice was extremely hoarse. She coughed a few times and apologised: âI had eight classes today and spoke until I lost my voice. Donât mind me.â
You Huo: âEight classes?â
Do they only study Chinese at this school for her to have to run eight classes a day?
Teacher Yu whispered: âBoth Biology and English teachers are injured. As for Mathematics and Chinese StudiesâŚâŚThe counsellor recommended that they avoid arranging stressful lessons for students for the next few days. With more pressure, there are more nightmares. Chinese is a little on the easier to digest side, itâs less stressful.â
You Huo: ââŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâ
Teacher Yu: âTo tell you the truth, I think Director Xiao arranged for you and Teacher B to go to my class with this intention in mind.â
Qin Jiu had a look of surprise. For the first time, someone was afraid of these two being scared.
It was probably intentional.
He turned and asked You Huo: âTeacher A, do you dream?â
You Huo: ââŚâŚâŚ.â
He stared down Qin Jiu expressionlessly before turning and saying to Yu Luo: âI donât.â
Yu Luo: âI also didnât dream much before. After preparing for classes until late at night, I would fall asleep as soon as Iâm done but Iâve been having dreams every day for the past few days. I thinkâŚâŚ..Itâs just my thought but, I think, no one can escape this.â
No one can escape this?
Hearing this, the two with memory loss seemed to fall into thought.
You Huo didnât know what it was like for Qin Jiu.
In his case, he dreamt very little. He would neither have nightmares or sweet dreams.
Maybe on a particular night, he would occasionally dream of something.
But after waking up, except for faint, fragmented emotions that lingered behind, he would always be unable to remember anything.

He didnât know about person B, but he felt that he himself definitely could escape this.
