Chapter 389: Who's So Bold?
The isolation dormitory building was located in the most remote western part of the campus. Usually, the surrounding area was so quiet that not even a shadow could be seen.
This was why many students living in isolation here often complained.
Being confined alone in such a room, with extreme silence all around, could really drive one crazy.
That evening, just after everyone had finished dinner, a series of intermittent singing suddenly rang out.
Many people were startled and instinctively perked up their ears.
"I who can't grasp love
Always watch it slip away helplessly
There are happy people everywhere in the world
Why can't I be counted as one..."
Damn, it was 《Single's Love Song》.
Everyone instantly became energized.
Almost everyone knew this song, especially the boys. Who hadn't sung this song in a KTV before?
In an instant, someone jumped up from their bed and quickly rushed to the balcony.
It was even clearer now; the singing was coming from inside this building.
Someone was actually playing music in the isolation dormitory.
The students, who had been bored to the point of illness, became excited one by one.
Some even started shouting loudly.
"Turn it up!"
Believe it or not, after a few seconds, the volume actually increased a bit.
Now, almost the entire building could hear it.
"Woohoo..."
Cheers and whistles could be heard from various parts of the dormitory.
The dorm auntie downstairs noticed the commotion and immediately ran out with a flashlight to check.
But at this time, all the rooms had their lights on, and no one had gone to bed yet.
From the outside, it was impossible to determine which room the music was coming from.
Moreover, she didn't dare to enter the dormitory and check each room one by one. Last week, a couple in this building had been diagnosed positive.
The dorm auntie didn't dare to act rashly and hurried back to the duty room to call the school leaders.
At this moment, the singing in the dormitory had attracted everyone's attention.
When one song finished, everyone still looked unsatisfied.
After being cooped up for so many days, everyone just wanted to relax a bit.
So someone shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Brother, one more song!"
"One more song!"
Amid the cheers for an encore, a dynamic, classic intro melody suddenly rang out.
As soon as this melody was heard, the entire dormitory building instantly boiled over.
It was Beyond's 《Glorious Years》.
This one was even more heavyweight. As soon as the intro played, many boys started cheering directly.
Some even started singing along. For a time, singing could be heard everywhere in the dormitory building, from the first floor to the sixth floor.
Downstairs, the school's duty leader drove over.
After listening for a while standing downstairs, he turned to ask the on-duty dorm auntie.
"Who's playing this music?"
"Who brought the speaker in?"
"Was it registered?"
The auntie knew nothing about any of it.
The security team leader came over to inquire, "Leader, should we go in and check?"
The vice-principal glared at him.
How to check?
Are you going to check room by room?
This is an isolation dormitory. If you check one by one, what if someone gets infected? Who will be responsible?
The security guards looked at each other, unsure what to do.
At this time, the song inside the dormitory had also finished.
As the song ended, everyone was filled with excitement, feeling that the emotions suppressed over these days had been released.
Especially in this special environment where everyone was locked up together, yet no one had seen each other or knew each other.
After this incident, everyone had an indescribable feeling.
It was as if they had attended a concert together with a group of strangers.
Especially when the third song started playing, everyone had a very strange feeling.
This time it was a soothing slow song.
The entire dormitory building fell silent, as if everyone was quietly listening.
This feeling was very peculiar.
It was like the scene in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" where Andy plays opera for everyone in the warden's office.
At this moment, many students suddenly understood how those prison inmates felt when they heard the opera.
The vice-principal downstairs watched quietly for a while, then turned and instructed the dorm auntie:
"Keep an eye on it. As long as they don't cause trouble, there's no need to interfere."
Then he instructed the security team leader beside him: "Send a few more people here to keep watch."
"Also, find out who's playing the music."
After giving these instructions, the vice-principal got in his car and left.
Chen Fan, hiding on the balcony, was a bit surprised.
He just left like that.
Was the school not going to intervene?
Unexpectedly, that afternoon, the school brought news to the people in this building.
The school understood everyone's feelings of being isolated every day, and because this abandoned dormitory building was far from other dormitory buildings, after consideration, the school decided to allow everyone to listen to music every day.
However, the time was scheduled for after 5 p.m. and before 10 p.m.
In other words, this activity must stop before lights out.
This announcement made the isolated students excited. They didn't expect that yesterday's casual singing would bring such an unexpected gain.
As for Chen Fan, he also received a call from the school office.
It only took half a day for the school to find out that Chen Fan was the one playing the music.
Of course, this was also because Chen Fan didn't try to hide it at all.
The person on the phone said they were a staff member from the school affairs office.
They conveyed a few notices from the school to Chen Fan.
First, the school knew it was Chen Fan playing the music. However, the school decided not to pursue the matter.
Second, the school allowed Chen Fan to continue playing music, but it must be executed according to the time stated in the notice.
Third, the songs played must be positive and uplifting, and no prohibited songs could be played.
Hearing this, Chen Fan understood.
The school had decided to turn a blind eye.
It seemed that the school leaders also knew that the students confined here were not easy to manage.
Rather than confronting everyone, it was better to do everyone a favor.
This way, everyone could release their stress, and no students would continue to cause trouble.
Chen Fan promised the person on the phone that he would absolutely not cause trouble, and would only play a few songs every day for everyone to listen to and relax.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Chen Fan immediately took out the list of dormitory phone numbers.
He inserted the phone card Su Ruochu had bought for him into the landline and started dialing numbers one by one.
He was ready to implement the second step of his plan.
The phone rang a few times before someone picked up.
"Hello?"
Chen Fan was a bit surprised. He didn't expect the first call to be answered by a girl.
"Who are you? How do you have this dormitory's phone number?"
The girl on the other end sounded alert.
"If you don't say, I'm hanging up..."
Chen Fan quickly spoke up: "Hello, senior sister. I'm Chen Fan, staying in the isolation dormitory on the third floor."
"I'm the one who played the music today."
Hearing this, the girl became interested.
"Really?"
"Why are you calling me? You're not trying to use this trick to attract my attention, are you? You're not trying to hit on me, are you?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Senior sister, you're thinking too much."
"Hehe, I'm just teasing you."
The girl on the other end giggled and asked: "Tell me, what do you really want?"
"If it's about dating, I'd have to see what you look like first, then I can decide whether to dump my boyfriend or not..."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was obviously not a senior sister who had already graduated. The speed of her flirting was really too fast, even he could hardly keep up.
Afraid that this senior sister would go on and on, Chen Fan quickly got to the point.
"Senior sister, it's like this. I want to ask for your help with a small favor, is that okay?"
The girl chuckled and said: "You have to tell me what you want to do first, then I can decide whether to help or not."
Chen Fan: "It's like this..."
