Wang Xiaotian explained, "Just this morning, the school issued an announcement. From now on, the two-person dorms and international dorms will no longer have power 24 hours a day. They'll cut the main switch at 11 p.m. …"
"We just want to quietly get by at school, playing cards."
Yu Xueqin stared intensely at Han Lie. This was the first time he had spoken since entering the room.
"Now, the entire sophomore and junior classes have been struck by this unforeseen calamity."
"That can't be, right?"
Han Lie didn't widen his eyes to express surprise. That was a fresh-faced idol's trick; a seasoned actor's performance couldn't be so superficial.
His first action was to slightly open his mouth, only speaking after half a second.
He then adjusted his speaking rate and pitch, making the words "That can't be, right?" faster than normal, with the stress on the last syllable, giving "right" a smoothly executed downward and upward inflection.
