Chapter 51: Changing dormitories?

And then the confident young man, as soon as he went downstairs, saw his fake girlfriend being intimate with someone else.

"Oh, you guys are down? Then let's just talk about it together."

Pressing down on Sora who wanted to come closer to help, Texas, chewing on a Pocky stick, looked at the two coming down from the rooftop and nodded.

Perhaps because the weather had been a bit abnormal recently, Texas had draped a blanket of unknown brand over her Penguin Logistics uniform, looking like a thick and substantial wrap around her neck and shoulders, covering her up tightly.

Although generally the cold wasn't much, it was still a bit uncomfortable when it got cold. Apart from Croissant, who had always been very carefree and energetic, seemingly always wearing the same set of clothes, Li Lin occasionally also saw Texas, Exusiai, Lappland, and others changing clothes. Figure aside, their taste was indeed good. Plus Texas's skilled action of holding a Pocky after quitting smoking, it actually gave a sense of straightforwardness.

Mm, just that kind of androgynous beauty of a cold beauty. No wonder Lappland, Sora, and Exusiai all seemed to have special feelings for her. There was indeed a reason for being the head of the lesbians (姬佬頭子 - jīlǎo tóuzi - lit. lesbian chief, implying popularity among lesbians).

"What's wrong? Is there something to say?"

"No, nothing."

Looking at his fake girlfriend's cold gaze from the side, as if wanting to kill someone, Li Lin secretly waved his hand at Sora, then put on a smiling face.

"It's just that something happened between me and Sora, might tell you about it later."

"Is it very urgent?"

"Not urgent, can say it anytime."

"Then I'll tell you my news first."

Looking at Lappland and Croissant walking out of the dormitory together, and the cowering Angelina—speaking of which, this child seemed to really lack presence—the several people completely filled the internal space of the dormitory. His nasal cavity was filled with the mixed fragrance of various girls. Looking at this packed scene, Texas smiled somewhat subtly and announced her news.

"In view of the recent excessive number of people in Penguin Logistics, the boss has decided to change us to a larger dormitory. The Lungmen government department, because we've done very well recently and have played an exemplary leading role in the corporate aspect, specially approved a small dormitory building for us. It's not far from here, but actually a bit large. I went out to scout it first, then do a handover with the Lungmen side. The boss has other things to do, so I'll handle everything here. If there are no problems, we can move over tonight."

"Larger, how large can it be?"

"Two people share an independent bathroom, individual residential rooms, and it's divided into upper and lower floors. There's also a bar counter and a small bar downstairs. I went to take a look this time, feels very good. And there's a dedicated game room on the second floor, and some office space on the first floor to handle official business more easily. Total size is about five hundred square meters. Very good conditions."

"Report! Texas! I, Lappland, don't want to leave! I want to share joys and sorrows with everyone here, bathe and pluck feathers together—"

"You shut up, then you can stay here by yourself."

Glaring at Lappland, who was jumping and hopping behind, Texas looked at the people around, all with excited expressions.

This was no wonder; after all, Penguin Logistics' dormitory was really too crowded. If it were just a few people originally, it would be fine; Exusiai cohabited with Li Lin outside, Sora wasn't around, Lappland hadn't arrived yet, not to mention Angelina. Only Texas and Croissant lived in these few rooms, choosing freely.

But Penguin Logistics now could be described as having a large family and business ; a small house squeezed in Prophet, Croissant, Lappland, Texas, Exusiai, Sora, plus Angelina to make up the numbers, had already led to the extent that some pitiful people had to sleep on the floor. Waking up in the morning was even more of a disaster. If time wasn't strictly allocated, even going to the toilet could cause some trouble. Although it sounded very ambiguous, the several times holding pee and fighting for the bathroom still left a deep impression on Li Lin.

Think about it, when a person needs to go to the toilet, the first time knocking, someone is inside. The second time, someone else is inside. The third time, fourth time, finally the fifth time.

Even taking a shower could form a queue, let alone going to the toilet.

Ambiguous is ambiguous, cohabiting is cohabiting; one or two beautiful girls were fine, but there were simply too many people, completely unbearable.

When you're holding it in, desperately wanting to go to the toilet, seeing stars and clenching your legs, frantically banging on the door, would you realize if the person inside is a super beautiful girl? You wouldn't. Your mind would only be thinking about dragging the bastard inside out and sitting down yourself. Whether it's a man or a woman is no longer within consideration.

In fact, he almost won the drag twice.

The opponents were Croissant and Lappland. Fought, didn't win.

Got gored by horns and bitten, arm really hurt. Humans lacking other physical attack methods are truly pathetic, can't even beat a cow or a dog.

Can you imagine after failing to seize the toilet door, the loser kneeling on the ground wailing, listening to the joyful peeing sounds of the victor? That kind of mixture of humiliation, frustration, the madness of organs holding in and twisting, and a sense of 'what the fuck am I doing? Fighting with a woman over a toilet, and still lost'. That feeling was ten thousand times more complicated than the feeling after killing someone.

So most people, apart from the somewhat dejected Lappland, quickly cheered for this very humane arrangement.

"Oh! Long live independent bathrooms! Long live private space!"

"But there is one problem."

Looking at her enthusiastic colleagues, Texas raised her hand to quiet them, then looked at her somewhat puzzled companions and held up one finger.

"That is, all personal items currently in Penguin Logistics must pass my inspection before they can be moved over. Some things that might involve political sensitivity or similar sensitive topics must be destroyed. Lungmen's censorship is very strict now, and Penguin Logistics is no exception. Everyone must be vigilant—"

"…Hm?"

Looking at Texas, who suddenly showed a smile, Li Lin frowned, feeling things didn't seem that simple.

"Regarding personal items, are handguns okay?"

"No problem."

"Are explosives and Originium Arts items okay?"

"No problem."

"What about knives, swords, armor, as well as crossbows and laser emitters?"

"Of course, no problem."

"Then can novel manuscripts be brought over?"

"Cannot."

"…"

Are you Lungmen people Lungmenese ( derogatory term for people from Lungmen)? Are you targeting me?

Looking at Li Lin, who looked like he wanted to say something but stopped, then wanted to stop but spoke again, wanting to say something but with a mouth full of curses unsure how to articulate, Texas immediately looked at Lappland and nodded. Li Lin, seeing this scene, was so scared his hairs almost stood on end, quickly waving his hands with a frightened expression.

"You, how can you slander people out of thin air! What manuscripts do I still have! None, really none, they were all dug out by you guys!"

"Lappland?"

'Hmph hmph—'

Watching Lappland shake her head with a "hmph hmph" sound, Texas looked somewhat suspiciously at the profusely sweating Li Lin.

"But ultimately, this is also for our own good; after all, holding an industry funded by Lungmen and still doing things Lungmen isn't happy to see is still somewhat problematic. Besides, Prophet, many of the things you write are already more than just 'somewhat problematic'; in short, it's better for you to pay attention yourself."

"Fine, no problem."

"…Really?"

"Worst comes to worst, I'll go write romance stories, specifically the kind about interspecies romance, that should be okay, right?"

Anyway, I'll have my own room then, can someone still go in and rummage through things?

Looking at Texas's serious expression, Li Lin patted his chest and guaranteed, not taking this to heart at all. A person's dreams will never end, and the long road of novels is also like this. The more you try to stop him, the more it makes people want to do it, right?

Facing Texas, who seemed to have relaxed and started directing the moving of things, Li Lin began to secretly plan his next novel.
