Arriving at the first floor, Wang Yuhui took out his phone pretending to look at it, while actually using the corner of his eye to observe the spot everyone accepted as the place to leave deliveries.
Great, there were already more than a dozen deliveries. If the quantity was smaller, Wang Yuhui wouldn't take the risk to grab one.
Moreover, there wasn't a single student or delivery person around, making it a perfect opportunity.
Continuing the act of playing on his phone, Wang Yuhui walked over and casually picked a delivery that didn't look too shabby or too fancy, and left with it.
This way, even in the worst-case scenario where the delivery owner caught him, Wang Yuhui could always say he was distracted by his phone and accidentally took the wrong one.
Carrying the delivery to the dormitory building, nothing happened, just like yesterday.
Satisfying.
Stealing deliveries was just that simple and safe.
It's not like he couldn't afford a meal, but Wang Yuhui thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of taking advantage of others, especially visualizing the scene where the person he stole from was helplessly furious while he ate happily.
Fret all you want, until you're worn out from it.
Just thinking about it made Wang Yuhui want to laugh a bit.
This was even more enjoyable than when he noticed someone losing something in class and instead of reminding them, he would try to kick it into a corner.
Harming others without benefiting himself, but it was fun.
Unfortunately, he could only enjoy it one more time tonight and tomorrow noon, as there would be no more opportunities after the sports day ended.
Returning to the fourth floor, Wang Yuhui unlocked his dorm room with a key.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed four tall students coming up the stairs, ones he hadn't seen on this floor before.
But Wang Yuhui didn't think much of it, assuming they were just visiting from another class, which was normal.
Open door, close door.
Wang Yuhui sat down with the delivery, took a stack of napkins from the spot of a roommate and put it in his own napkin box, then prepared to dig in.
First, the receipt.
Ending number 9749, Mr. Lin.
It was a spicy stir-fry pot.
Not bad, it was a type of food rarely provided by the cafeteria, which Wang Yuhui quite wanted to try.
"Mr. Lin, you won't have lunch today, hehe." Wang Yuhui chuckled softly.
The door of Nansang Middle School's dorm room had a peephole, and it wasn't the one-way type. However, most rooms chose to cover it with stickers or posters for privacy, and some rooms that had lost their peephole covers would stuff a bunch of tissues in there.
At this moment, the wad of tissue blocking the peephole of room 403 was poked out by an index finger, floating to the ground without Wang Yuhui noticing at all.
The index finger retracted, replaced by an eye that bore the same amused expression as Wang Yuhui's face.
Wang Yuhui removed the seal, opened the packaging, and pulled out the separated food. There was even a soup of seaweed and egg drop as a bonus.
Opening the main spicy stir-fry pot, it didn't have as much steam as the two he stole yesterday, but it was fine, not cold yet.
The pot was mostly yellow-brown. After a look, it was indeed made with soy sauce base, and seemed to have too much peanut butter or something similar.
After taking a sip of the seaweed egg drop soup, Wang Yuhui slightly frowned, feeling that the soup tasted weird. Why did it have a bit of astringency? Was there also a hint of gamey or stinky taste?
Forget it.
Soup was just a freebie anyway, he shouldn't have such high expectations. Taking a big gulp, Wang Yuhui prepared to tackle the main dish.
"Damn, is this medium spicy?" After eating a rib, Wang Yuhui sipped on more soup with a hiss, then complained.
This spicy stir-fry pot was not only spicy but so spicy it tasted somewhat bitter and astringent, especially the sauce smothered on the meat and vegetables; it tasted really odd.
"Damn it, this Mr. Lin, is he sick in the head, ordering such spicy food? Serves him right for missing lunch." Wang Yuhui cursed angrily.
Rather than blame himself for not handling spice, he'd rather blame Mr. Lin.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yuhui gave up the idea of going back downstairs for another serving.
Spicy is spicy, just drink more water.
Wang Yuhui pulled out his phone to play a video while eating.
Little John Khan, activate!
But this was the worst delivery Wang Yuhui had ever eaten, what kind of spicy stir-fry was this?
Hopefully, after Mr. Lin finds out his delivery is missing, he gives the shop a bad review.
"Damn, the small ingredients in the spicy stir-fry taste like boogers. Can this place really keep its business with people buying again?" Holding up an unknown ingredient slathered in sauce, Wang Yuhui commented sharply.
"Damn, it even has the consistency of boogers. This place is impressive. What the hell is this…" He tried to taste it but only got pure sauce flavor. His expression was hard to describe.
Now, Wang Yuhui's resentment towards this Mr. Lin had reached its peak.
Incompetent, can't even order a decent delivery.
The most unpleasant meal he had eaten.
This meal will just have to do, and he'll be more careful to steal something good in the afternoon.
Chopsticks reaching the rice brought a soft "click."
This wasn't the texture of rice or the container.
Frowning, Wang Yuhui pushed the rice aside, surprisingly finding a card beneath it.
Picking up the lunchbox, there indeed was a rectangular brown card at the bottom.
"They put a positive review card in the meal? This place is really going Sima!" Seeing this, Wang Yuhui was genuinely angry. This kind of quality control was outrageous; if he had ordered this delivery himself, he wouldn't settle unless the shop refunded and compensated him with tens of dollars.
Just as he prepared to discard the meal, he noticed there seemed to be writing on the front side of the card.
"Hmm?"
Wang Yuhui carefully pulled the card out with his chopsticks.
Casually, he read the words on it aloud.
"Bastard, did your dad's delivery taste… taste good…"
Wang Yuhui froze.
Then his mind went blank.
There was another line below, which Wang Yuhui was unable to read.
——"Look at the door, your dad's outside."
"Click."
Wang Yuhui turned his head; the door he had just shut was being opened by someone with a key, and at some point, the peephole, without any tissue, had an eye staring at him.
Shit!
For a moment, Wang Yuhui wanted to rush forward and hold the door shut, but it was too late.
"Click, creak——"
The unlocked door, pushed open.
But what he saw was his roommate, Mao Jiaqi.
The suffocating feeling in Wang Yuhui dissipated, and after catching his breath, a wave of anger surged up, as he shouted: "Mao Jiaqi! Are you out of your mind scaring me like that? Say something, damn it."
Being scolded, Mao Jiaqi looked at Wang Yuhui with a slightly pitying and mocking expression, shaking his head as he said: "Wang Yuhui, I've got good news for you."
"What? Out with it." Wang Yuhui frowned.
"You didn't get scared for nothing."
Wang Yuhui: "?"
Mao Jiaqi stepped aside and fully opened the door.
Then the space opened up, and the four people behind him walked in.
These were, indeed, the four people Wang Yuhui had noticed earlier that had never appeared on the fourth floor before.
At this moment, the four people wore eerie smiles as they looked at her.
"Who are you… who are you, damn it?" The heart he had just slightly eased now hung in suspension again. Wang Yuhui, although already guessing in his heart, was still desperately searching for that last glimmer of hope.
Undoubtedly, these were Lin Li's group of four.
As for Mao Jiaqi, he was Wang Yuhui's roommate who returned during Lin Li's group spying.
After learning the rough truth of the situation, he followed Lin Li's command and opened the door for them at the right moment.
"Since you have sincerely asked, I shall mercifully tell you." Lin Li adjusted the camera in front of him before speaking softly, with a teasing tone: "The four of us are the Dazzling Group, and I am the Dazzle."
Bai Bufan's smile froze for a moment, but then he stepped forward and casually said, "I am the 'Group'."
Wang Ze's voice was loud and hurried, "I am the 'Buster'!"
"..."
Seeing someone in the group not introducing themselves, Lin Li, Bai Bufan, and Wang Ze all turned around simultaneously, giving a synchronized death stare at the nonconforming Zhou Baowei.
Zhou Baowei: "(;☉_☉)?"
Your mothers.
Is this polite?
