Chapter 4: Room Check!
Ye Yu heard that and immediately moved in to hold Liu Tao, teasing her in every way as he said, 'Sister Liu, if you leave like this, I won't get to see you for months. I really can't bear to part with you.'
Liu Tao calmly pushed away Ye Yu's grabby hands and twisted his ear with practiced authority, scolding him, 'You brat, you're getting bolder by the day? You even dare take advantage of me? Do you really not want to live anymore?'
'Sister Liu, show me some mercy. Between you and me, this is just innocent sibling friendship. You must have misunderstood. I just genuinely can't bear to part with you, Sister. Ouch, that hurts. Go easy, Sis. Teacher Jiang is still standing right there. You can't ruin the good image I have in her eyes.'
After Liu Tao let go, she turned straight to Jiang Xin, who was taking over for her, and reminded her, 'This kid is slippery. You need to be careful around him. He's got plenty of tricks up his sleeve, and he's nothing but a lecher. Don't let him really drag you into his trap. Come on, I'll teach you how to do the room checks first.'
Following behind Liu Tao and the others as they went upstairs to inspect the rooms, Ye Yu swore to himself, 'A tiger fallen on hard times is bullied by dogs, a dragon in shallow water gets toyed with by shrimp, a cat once in power is fiercer than a tiger, and a phoenix with its feathers plucked is worse than a chicken.
When I get my chance, just watch me spank Liu Tao's cute little ass every day, fuck you front and back, make you wear a uniform and play Bai Jie for me, and have you on your knees in front of me singing 'Conquer' every day, servicing me from head to toe. Hmph!!!'
At that moment, Dilireba in Dorm 609 was looking curiously at Tang Yan, who had come over to thank her, and asked, 'Sister Tang, that pervert at the gate didn't do anything to you, did he? You've been held up for nearly ten minutes. You weren't really...?'
Tang Yan immediately blushed and looked a little shy as she said, 'What nonsense are you talking about? Still, thanks. That bastard really isn't a good person. I don't know what the school leadership was thinking.'
'Exactly. We've filed so many complaints and none of them worked. It's infuriating. So what if he has connections? One look and you can tell he's a spoiled rich brat who doesn't know a thing.'
Just as Dilireba and Tang Yan were inside the dorm cursing Ye Yu out, Ye Yu had already followed Liu Tao and the others and checked more than ten rooms.
The dorm rooms at the Beijing Film Academy were very nice. After all, the annual housing fee here ranked first among all universities, and when you spread it out over the month, it came to more than a thousand yuan. But once you factored in Beijing's terrifying housing prices, staying here suddenly felt pretty worthwhile.
A lot of actresses who hadn't broken out yet would rather keep muddling along in the school dorms than move out. After all, a comparable apartment in Beijing would cost at least five thousand a month.
The girls' dorms at the Beijing Film Academy were usually triple occupancy. They weren't the kind of bunk-bed rooms other schools had, but suites with private bathrooms.
What was a little strange was that these suites actually had one large room with two beds for two people, and one smaller room with a single bed.
The people qualified to live in the single suites were usually either from prominent backgrounds or rising stars who had already achieved a great deal and were highly favored by the industry and the academy.
The students at the Beijing Film Academy could be said to be the fewest among all the major universities. Each class had only a little over a hundred students total, boys and girls combined, and that included many departments. That was also why the Beijing Film Academy was called one of the hardest universities in mainland China to get into.
Its acceptance rate was the lowest in the country. Forget Tsinghua or Peking University; those were just a thousand soldiers fighting over a single bridge. Here at the Beijing Film Academy, they picked one person out of more than ten thousand.
The Beijing Film Academy students were mainly acting majors, usually in a four-year program, but because acting was a rather special profession, when the dorms weren't too tight, students could be allowed to stay on campus for two extra years.
So the permanent population in the acting department's dorm building was only about two hundred people. Splitting that into separate men's and women's buildings would have been ridiculous, so everyone lived in one building, with the floors divided up and an iron gate blocking off the stairs at the fourth floor.
Because some students went out to film shoots, the dorm assignments here were often adjusted. They weren't fixed, and many freshmen might end up living with upperclasswomen one or two years ahead of them.
The dorm where Dilireba lived was like that too. She shared it with a senior student, and there had originally been another classmate as well. But that classmate was impressive: before school had even started, she was already out filming, and she wouldn't officially report to campus for a few more days. Tell me, isn't that impressive?
Rumor had it that this girl named Guan Xiaotong had very deep backing. Even though she was already over eighteen, she had appeared in several TV dramas and was hailed by the outside world as the 'nation's darling daughter.' They said she came from Manchu Banner nobility and had family ties with a lot of heavyweights in the ministry. People in the know called her the 'princess of the Beijing circle.'
Knock, knock, knock!
Just as Tang Yan was about to leave and head back to her own room to sleep, Liu Tao and the others finally reached Dorm 609, and the moment they ran into each other, things turned awkward.
Ye Yu had already guessed that would happen, so he looked at Dilireba with a half-smile that made her feel completely uneasy. She knew very well that she'd probably pissed off this perverted gatekeeper badly this time, and she absolutely couldn't let this bastard catch her with an opening later.
Ye Yu gave Tang Yan's hasty retreat a meaningful look and didn't worry at all that she would stand him up. After all, the devil contract had a time limit, and the final deadline for breaking it was written right there. If she really defaulted, the one coming out ahead would only be him.
Still, Ye Yu could only stand there alone in the corridor, looking pretty helpless, because this was the girls' dorm and there was no way they were going to let a grown man go in and inspect the rooms.
Of course Ye Yu himself was very willing, but the school would never agree to it. Even if he had hijacked the gatekeeper's post, some things still had their bottom line and logic. That was the rule.
The reason the Beijing Film Academy often carried out room checks in the girls' dorms was mainly because the actress profession was so special and so sensitive.
You have to know that this place gathered almost the best young female talent in the entertainment industry over the past decade. If anything truly ugly ever happened, the trouble would blow wide open.
That was also why many female teachers and male students strongly disliked Ye Yu, this male dorm attendant.
