Chapter 116 - 40: Dormitory Dispute (Part 2)

The nurse was also puzzling, what was the point of provoking the robot for no reason.

Everyone knew robots came with cameras, and the nurse made no attempt to hide it in front of Xiao Wanzi. Was it stupidity or intentional?

Anyway, it’s just twenty days. Just treat each other like strangers.

...

We mentioned earlier that Yi Suilu was caught, naturally, there’s more to the story.

Xue Huiyi’s instructor knew Xue Huiyi.

Several mechas in the military were from the Xue Family, so practically every soldier knew this genius from the Xue Family.

Every Mecha Master hoped to know an excellent Mecha Designer to have a mecha custom-made for themselves.

The instructor teaching Xue Huiyi was very fond of her,

walking along with a joyful mood.

When greeting the soldiers, he specially introduced her as Xue Huiyi.

Soldiers aren’t fundamentally detached from ordinary people. Entertainment on the Mechanical Planet is scarce, so their admiration for a person is genuinely passionate.

Xue Huiyi returned to the dormitory surrounded by this admiration.

Her face maintained an appropriate smile, and her speech was pleasant, making the instructor feel overjoyed and praising her for being as amiable as he imagined.

Instructor: "Here is your dormitory. If you have any other requirements, you can contact me anytime." He would do his utmost to accommodate.

Opening the door revealed a room with eight bunk beds.

Xue Huiyi’s smile faded as she took two steps in, feeling suffocated in a place smaller than her home’s bathroom.

Though only three people were supposed to live in the dorm, she couldn’t accept it.

Even the school dormitory she found too small, with barely enough space for two people to walk side by side; how could she live here?

This reminded her of a time she was unwilling to revisit from her past life.

Xue Huiyi suddenly found it hard to breathe, crouching down in pain, her hands and feet trembling.

"Huixixi, what’s wrong?" a teammate asked worriedly.

The instructor quickly said, "Xue, are you feeling unwell?"

Xue Huiyi could barely breathe, shaking her head with tears streaming down.

Another roommate, who was essentially Xue Huiyi’s follower, didn’t know her well but was familiar with her affectations.

She looked around, recalling Xue Huiyi’s earlier mention of her fear of small places, always having some aversion to the school’s toilets.

"Huixixi might be having a claustrophobia attack, get her outside quickly."

The Captain immediately helped her out into the corridor, where Xue Huiyi slowly regained composure.

The pale and vulnerable woman elicited even more sympathy.

The male team member standing in the corridor wished he could give Xue Huiyi a comforting hug and console her fragile self.

The follower seized the moment and asked the instructor, "Huixixi can’t stay in such a small place. Can we arrange for a bigger room?"

The dormitory environment here was really not great. If they could change to a bigger one, she was happy to cooperate with Xue Huiyi’s act.

The instructor was troubled, considering Xue Huiyi’s special situation, "Is there a history of such attacks? If not, you’d need a certificate from your school doctor to change dorms."

Xue Huiyi: "It’s okay, I just recalled my childhood. I’m much better now and don’t need special care."

She was joking. School doctor Ji Li could see through her little schemes at a glance. Expecting Ji Li to issue a certificate, she might as well embarrass herself and admit to faking it.

"It suddenly happened, I’m very sorry for the trouble." Xue Huiyi stood up.

She walked back into the dorm and displayed around, "See, I’m fine now. You guys can go, don’t worry about me."

"Are you really okay?" The instructor’s brow furrowed with concern, straightforwardly suggesting, "It’s safer to see a doctor, psychological issues should be addressed early." Seeing her like this just now implied her psychological issues might be significant.

If Su Xiaocai were here, she would definitely burst into laughter.

Being earnestly accused of having mental issues yet unable to retort.

It could probably be summed up as self-inflicted misery.

Xue Huiyi repeatedly assured everyone she was fine, waved them off at the door, and closed it.

The male team member was reluctant to leave, feeling distressed, thinking Xue Huiyi was so strong and sensible, she deserved to be cherished.

Xue Huiyi felt sick to her stomach. The school doctor who promised to come didn’t, instead, they brought that plague Ji Li.

Causing her to stay in such a cramped room.

Problems just wouldn’t stop. Staying in the small room was already annoying enough.

Soon after, Su Xiaocai once again amazed everyone, forcing her to stay out of his way, and Ji Heng, that jerk, was frustrating her to death.

After three days on the Mechanical Planet, Yi Wenling called her in the evening, "Huixixi, there is something we need to tell you."

Xue Huiyi respected Yi Wenling the most and sensed the different tone, "Uncle, what is it? Just tell me."
