#46 - Notices and notes in the swimming pool
Immediately following, her eyes gradually narrowed, leaving only a wisp of golden light behind her bangs.
She seemed to have noticed something unusual, slowly tightening her grip on the stick covered in plaster-like substance.
"Creak, creak…"
The cloth strip continuously tightened due to the force, emitting a grinding sound.
She raised the stick, took a step with her slender and shapely legs, and walked towards Lin Yi step by step.
Her actions immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding sports students, and Xu Shunkang naturally noticed this as well.
Seeing the athletic girl getting closer and closer to Lin Yi, Xu Shunkang was secretly astonished. He wanted to say something, but seeing the stick tightly held in her hand, he quietly closed his mouth.
He sized Lin Yi up and down, his eyes simultaneously showing worry and doubt, completely unable to understand how Lin Yi had suddenly attracted her attention.
Lin Yi also felt a powerful sense of oppression. Even though the other party was just a girl of similar stature to him, he felt like ten of him wouldn't be enough for her to handle with one hand…
Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, he simply steeled his heart… and then took a small step back.
“Stop.”
The cold and forceful words landed behind Lin Yi, blocking his retreat.
"Clang!"
The stick stood upright beside him, and the athletic girl stood in front of him.
Their eyes met.
Lin Yi instantly saw her face clearly.
It was a face with distinct contours, like mutton-fat jade, but even the most skilled craftsman in the world could not sculpt such delicate features, exquisite features.
Her appearance was completely different from the fortitude and heroic spirit she exuded, yet they were perfectly integrated, with a touch of freshness in her heroic spirit, like a female war god standing in the sun.
Just standing in front of Lin Yi, her posture and demeanor already revealed a sense of explosive power ready to be unleashed.
“Wait! Her eyes?!”
Her aura was too strong, so much so that it wasn't until this moment of eye contact that Lin Yi realized her eyes… were also golden!
He had seen the security guard's golden eyes and the head teacher's dark golden eyes, but the athletic girl's golden eyes gave him a different feeling.
The gold in these eyes was like the morning light, golden but not dazzling, restrained and reserved, so that people would not feel any resistance when they saw it, but only feel incomparable peace of mind.
But Lin Yi also suddenly noticed that her bangs were a little stuck to her forehead, her face seemed to be covered with some earthy dust, and there seemed to be some faint scratches on her neck, as if she had just experienced a high-intensity drill full of wind, frost, and dust.
Soon, the distance between her and Lin Yi was less than a head's length.
Suddenly, she leaned forward slightly, and under the gazes of many surprised eyes, slowly moved closer to Lin Yi.
Her nostrils fluttered slightly, carefully sniffing the scent on Lin Yi's body.
This ambiguous and enchanting scene made Lin Yi's breathing subconsciously quicken a little, but it also made him dare not make any rash moves.
Finally, she seemed to have confirmed something, and the golden flames in her eyes slowly extinguished.
Those eyes turned into a clear, autumn-water-like appearance again.
A thought subconsciously popped into Lin Yi's mind: if Wei Liang, who insisted that the other party was wearing colored contact lenses, was here, he would have to come up with a few flirtatious remarks after seeing this magical scene.
But he was not Wei Liang, and his words were not flirtatious enough.
He could only touch his nose and say, awkwardly and impolitely, “Uh… hello.”
The athletic girl slowly stood up straight, looked at him calmly, and opened her thin lips slightly: “Go swimming with me.”
“Ah?” Lin Yi was stunned, his mouth wide open.
“Damn, so sudden…”
But the athletic girl only said this one sentence, and after saying it, she carried the stick and turned to walk in the direction of the swimming pool.
Seeing Lin Yi still stunned in place, Xu Shunkang quickly rushed over and slapped him hard on the shoulder: “Damn, the boss is inviting you to swim! Hurry up, what are you standing there for?”
“Ah?”
“Ah you sister ah! Hurry up!” He signaled with his eyes, and glanced at the clock on the wall of the gymnasium, “You only have more than half an hour left in this class, hurry up, don't let the boss get impatient!”
He raised his foot, posing to kick Lin Yi's butt.
“Ah? Oh oh oh…” Lin Yi nodded blankly, found the athletic girl's location, and quickly followed.
Watching Lin Yi's hasty chasing figure, the playful look on Xu Shunkang's face slowly disappeared, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
A golden light flashed in his dark eyes, but it quickly extinguished.
Xie Huayang walked to his side, glanced at the athletic girl and Lin Yi, and sneered: “That guy still has problems after all, just like Big Head.”
Xu Shunkang gritted his teeth, the muscles in his cheeks slightly tightened, he thought seriously for a while before asking: “Did you see what his problem is?”
“No.” Xie Huayang said, “If you didn't see it, how could I see it? Among so many of us, perhaps only the boss has discovered it.”
Xu Shunkang did not speak.
Xie Huayang added: “I reminded him not to overthink things, maybe something happened last night that you and I don't know about.”
“You seem to admire him very much, is it because he has Big Head's shadow on him?”
He glanced at Xu Shunkang.
Xu Shunkang remained silent.
Xie Huayang shook his head helplessly and sighed a long sigh.
“Alas—”
He showed a helpless expression: “If… I mean if, something happened to him that you and I cannot perceive, some kind of 'contamination', do you think he can walk out of the swimming pool alive?”
Xu Shunkang stood in place, his cheek muscles tense, and his fists gradually clenched.
“Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, don't take it to heart.” Xie Huayang quickly changed the subject, patted him on the shoulder, “Let's go, let's take a shower together and then go to the second floor for some training.”
“After fighting with them for so long, I feel like I'm about to be assimilated by them…”
He shook the baseball bat in his hand, and all the joints in his body seemed to be making cracking sounds.
…
May 7, X023, 14:53, first floor of the gymnasium.
Noticing Lin Yi approaching quickly from behind, the athletic girl slowed down a bit.
“When did you enroll?” She looked ahead and asked faintly.
Lin Yi knew she was talking to him, and quickly replied: “Yesterday… yesterday evening, around 17:50…”
The athletic girl paused slightly.
“Remember so clearly?”
“Uh… I have a habit of looking at my watch.” Lin Yi scratched the back of his head.
“Good habit.” She said, “It's just that sometimes, being too clear about the concept of time can also limit your perception… especially when you're traveling on a foggy day.”
Lin Yi's heart trembled, just as he was about to say, “How do you know?” he heard her voice coming from the front.
“Stop.”
She told him to stop again.
He looked at her in confusion.
She casually gestured with her eyes: "The women's changing room is ahead; yours is across from it."
Without realizing it, the two had already arrived at the entrance to the swimming pool area, their current location being right in front of the women's changing room.
After she finished speaking, she walked into the women's changing room, but as she lifted the curtain, she seemed to remember something and turned her head to look at Lin Yi, reminding him, "Unless it's absolutely necessary, if you dare come in, I'll break your legs."
Before her voice faded, she had already entered the women's changing room.
‘Absolutely necessary?’ Lin Yi's first reaction was, 'So, I can still enter the women's changing room?'
Normally, this would be something a pervert wouldn't even dare to dream of, but he suddenly realized that this was a gymnasium, the S City University gymnasium.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
If it came to the 'absolutely necessary' situation she mentioned, what kind of terrifying situation would that be?
He shuddered, pulled his gaze away from the curtain of the women's changing room, and then walked into the men's changing room.
‘Right… she just said, “Being too clear about the concept of time can also limit one's perception”?’
‘And she specifically mentioned foggy days!’
He suddenly thought of many journeys where the time didn't match up.
For example, walking the distance of one streetlight in heavy fog took more than ten minutes;
For example, going down one flight of stairs also took more than ten minutes;
And for example, the round trip from Class 2 of Group B to the restroom seemed to have completely different times and distances…
‘So, thinking about issues of time will affect 'perception'?’
As these thoughts popped into his head, he had already walked past the corner of the changing room and entered the changing room area.
The floor of the men's changing room was designed with regular square tiles and water-permeable, non-slip rubber flooring, and the surrounding area was also covered with white square tiles. Its area was not large, but the walls were lined with lockers.
One side of the locker area led to the bathing area, and the other side led to the pool area.
The sound of rushing water and steam emanated from the bathing area, spreading outwards along the tiles, but it dissipated completely after a few steps. From the direction of the changing room, the bathing area seemed to be filled with steam that reached the ankle area.
There weren't many people in the changing room. Apart from a few people bathing, everyone else was in the pool area.
There was a notice at the entrance of the changing room, which read:
[Please change into your swimsuit before swimming. Swimsuits are in the lockers.]
[Swipe your student ID to open the locker. You may only wear the swimsuit obtained by swiping your student ID.]
[Please rinse your body after swimming. Do not wash your hair unless necessary.]
[Before leaving, please put the changed swimsuit into the swimsuit recycling bin.]
This notice was very simple and normal, but Lin Yi noticed that there was a line of remarks below the notice:
[If you feel unwell, you can wash your hair with your eyes closed in the gymnasium, but if you do so, please inform the PE student in advance so that he can be by your side. During the hair washing process, do not open your eyes no matter what abnormalities you feel. Tell yourself that you are washing your hair in the bathing area, and after washing your hair and wiping it dry, open your eyes after confirming the situation with the PE student.]
[It is forbidden to wash your hair with your eyes open while wearing swimming goggles.]
After reading it, Lin Yi suddenly felt that it was not normal again.
But the part about bathing seemed to be somewhat similar to what was mentioned in the student code, but there were some changes based on the student code.
Just as he was subconsciously pondering, a forceful urging came from the direction of the swimming area from the sports-oriented girl: "Are you done changing?"
Lin Yi was startled and, being urged to change clothes for the first time, he quickly trotted towards the lockers, saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm changing, I'm changing!"
He noticed that several lockers were half-open, with swimsuits neatly placed inside, but thinking of the words on the notice board, he still used his student ID to swipe open a locker again.
The locker had two layers, one for slippers and one for the swimsuit.
The men's swimsuit in the S City University gymnasium was a uniform black base with blue and white striped swim trunks. In addition to the swim trunks, it also came with a pair of swimming goggles, a swimming cap, a waterproof card holder with elastic bands, and several towels.
Lin Yi neatly changed into his swimsuit and then put his student ID into the waterproof card holder and wore it on his wrist.
After doing all this, he closed the locker door.
Clang!
When it closed, whether it was vibration or wind, it moved a nearby locker.
That locker didn't seem to be closed tightly, and with just this, the door popped open.
Without Lin Yi even looking, everything inside the locker appeared in his field of vision.
It was an empty locker.
The swimsuit, slippers, and towels were all taken away, and there were no clothes to change into.
Lin Yi understood at a glance that this must be someone who had finished swimming and left, and accidentally didn't close the locker tightly.
But just then, he suddenly noticed that there was a white note stuck on the back of the locker door…
There were only six words on the note, so the moment he saw the note, he also clearly saw the words on the note.
In the same row were four clear characters:
[Don't swim!]
Then there were two characters with increasingly distorted and rugged handwriting:
[Run away!!!]
The tail of the word 'run' was written so that it dragged outside the note, and the three exclamation marks were dotted more heavily than the last, wishing they could pierce through the steel plate.
‘Don't swim, run away?!’
‘Damn!’
Lin Yi, who had just changed into his swimsuit, only felt his scalp tingle and goosebumps all over his body.
Although there was no heating in the changing room, it was not cold at all because heat was constantly coming out of the bathing area, but at this moment, he clearly felt a terrible chill.
But at the same time, the sports-oriented girl's somewhat impatient voice came from the direction of the swimming area:
“Are you done yet? Do you want me to come and help you change myself?”
“Hey, I'm done, I'm done!” Lin Yi quickly said, but when he turned around, he saw that the sports-oriented girl had already walked over from the swimming area in a decisive manner.
At this time, she had already changed into a dark blue, stomach-covering one-piece triangular swimsuit with white stripes, but the simpler the athlete's uniform, the more lightly it could depict her almost perfect body lines.
Her body was covered with some water droplets because she had passed through the water curtain at the entrance to the swimming area. She was not wearing slippers and was just barefoot on the non-slip rubber floor.
Under Lin Yi's surprised gaze, she came straight to him.
Just being looked at by her at eye level, for some reason, Lin Yi felt like he was already half a head shorter than her.
I'm late, I'm late, sorry, sorry! By the way, I was a little stuck yesterday, and I've been inexplicably busy recently. If there's a day when there's no update for 24 hours, I'll tell everyone in the group for leave, so I won't ask for leave in a separate chapter -- … …
