I was surprised. Why is she calling me? Shouldn’t she be getting ready to head out and eat supper?

I accepted the call, and Lin Yixin’s urgent voice came from the other side of the phone. “Shit, I can’t get out!”

“What’s wrong?”

“The school gates are closed at 11, and the guards refused to let me out. They say that it’s not very safe lately…”

“What to do, what to do...” I licked my lips. “I know, why don’t you stuff your face with some crispy noodles from the supermarket? You can enjoy some fresh meat buns when tomorrow arrives!”

“You’re the one who should stuff your face with crispy noodles, bastard…” Lin Yixin made some cute whiny noises. “No seriously, what should I do? Think of a way, Lu Chen! I don’t wanna eat crispy noodles, I can’t go about a meal without meat!”

“Fuck!” I gritted my teeth and thought for a moment before suggesting, “If I remember correctly, some parts of the university walls aren’t very high. There is a section near the drains to the southeast of the campus where the walls are only 1.5 meter tall. You can climb out from there if you want to; Du Thirteen and I often used that route when we wanted to go to a cyber cafe.”

“It’s still too tall, and I’m alone you know…”

Alarm bells immediately rang inside...
