Chapter 25 - Bai Luo Yin's Incident

Translator: Estreline/ Edit: Pusaha /Proofread: Sae

From morning class until noon break, not even once did Bai Luo Yin's head part from his resting arms.

This was not the first time. His silent innocent act was somehow perceived as a beckoning for another one of Gu Hai's ludicrous antics.

For a restless person like Gu Hai, idly sitting alone in a well-behaved manner, at the back of the classroom, was just unbearable. As such, he gladly accepted Bai Luo Yin's kind invitation and passed his idle time experimenting various methods of how to wake him up. Despite his relentless effort, none of his actions seemed to come into fruition. He even went as far as to give Bai Luo Yin's chair a hard strike, causing everyone to stare at him due to the sudden noise. Bai Luo Yin, however, laid as motionless as ever.

The third class belonged to Luo Xiao Yu's, whom particularly enjoyed calling on Bai Luo Yin and have him answer her questions. This lesson was no exception.

"Bai Luo Yin."

As her crisp and clear voice chimed through the air, the whole class naturally averted their eyes from elsewhere and gazed at him with interest. Bai Luo Yin, with his left cheek squished red during sleep stood up, and fluently provided the correct answer.

Bai Luo Yin has been giving answers in such manner since forever. Hence, everybody was already more or less, used to it.

But Gu Hai was different. He remained skeptic and determined to find out the very truth of Bai Luo Yin.

Since the day they first met, Gu Hai had always doubted whether Bai Luo Yin was really sleeping. How can people sleep and learn at the same time?Despite many students saying that it is was one of Bai Luo Yin's innate qualities, such simple explanation was just impossible for him to believe.

He thought, Bai Luo Yin definitely isn't sleeping.

To prove his suspicion, after the third class had finished, he went to the school infirmary to buy two sleeping pills. After that he came back, crushed the pills thoroughly, reducing it to powder, and mischievously slipped it into Bai Luo Yin's bottle of water.

Bai Luo Yin was still dizzy when afternoon class started.

Cold medicines are well-known for their strong sedative properties. Take them in the wrong order and you could easily drowse the whole day.

Feeling his lips mildly parched, he picked up his water bottle and swallowed a few mouthfuls.

This is weird...he thought. There was a strange tint of bitterness in the water today. The more he drank, the thirstier he became! Thus, Bai Luo Yin continued to drink until the large bottle was completely empty. With not a single drop of water left, he went out to fetch some more. He refilled his bottle with hot water and placed it at the corner of his desk to let it cool down. After Bai Luo Yin settled down, drowsiness rapidly swept in.
