Give Me Another Smile

Chapter 148: Scream

The highly efficient Hu Siyue quickly added Tang Yu to a WeChat group. She also suggested Tang Yu join their QQ group so that they could use audio chat.

In response, Tang Yu messaged her ID coupled with a smiley face to Hu Siyue.

When Hu Siyue returned to her dormitory, she opened her computer and added Tang Yu's QQ ID. However, when she saw that the account was a one-star new account and nicknamed "Tang," she couldn't help but wonder if she had added a fake account

However, Hu Siyue ultimately sent a friend request to Tang Yu, which the other party quickly approved.

As if it were routine, Tang Yu sent Hu Siyue a smiling emoji. Seeing this, Hu Siyue replied with a cute heart-shaped emoji before adding Tang Yu to a QQ group.

The group was named "Dreamy Night Dubbing Troupe." As soon as Tang Yu joined, she saw a flood of welcome and greeting messages. She also noted that every person in the group Each person's group nickname indicated their role in the upcoming production. For example, the nickname Hu Siyue used in the group was [Planner] Xinyue.

Shortly after Tang Yu joined the group, Hu Siyue privately messaged her, saying, "You can come up with any nickname you like, Tang Yu."

"Okay."

While sitting in front of her computer in the dormitory, Tang Yu put on her earphones and pondered for a moment. Then, she began typing out the nickname she desired.

She had used the nickname "Sweet Sugar" in her past life, but ironically, she was not a sweet person at all. Whether it was her personality or life, both her terribly bitter.

Fortunately, she was no longer living the same miserable life she did in her past life. In her present life, she had someone who loved her dearly, her parents were still alive and healthy, and she even had a cute little brother.

After modifying her nickname in the group, Tang Yu typed a greeting message.

[Lead Actor, Ye Rumeng] Yu-An: Hi everyone ^_^

[Lead Actor, He Changsheng] Qizhi: Hello!!

[Planner] Xinyue: Welcome, Yu-An (^^)

[Post-production] Nannan is not Nannan: Oh my god, our female lead finally has a partner!

[Universal Passerby] Water Droplet: Is Yu-An also from our department?

Despite having just decided on her new nickname, Tang Yu still took a moment to realize the group members were referring to her when they mentioned "Yu-An." Also, she noted that while Hu Siyue had already informed the group members about her playing the female lead, it would seem that Hu Siyue did not mention her grade and department to them.

[Planner] Xinyue: Yu-An is also from the Broadcasting Department. She is our junior (**)

[Graphic Designer] Xixi: Have you shown the script to Yu-An?

[Planner] Xinyue: I'll send her the script in a moment. Afterward, I'll have her try out the role first to get a feel for it.

Nobody had any objections. As broadcasting students, they naturally knew each other's strengths and professional levels.

Soon, Hu Siyue sent the script document over along with a message saying, "Your role is Ye Rumeng, a gentle and soft lady with a clear and soft voice. So, you need to make your voice sound as subtle and gentle as possible when playing her."

Tang Yu knew all that Hu Siyue mentioned. After all, this was her first voice acting work in her past life, and she had spent a lot of time understanding the character's personality and traits. She even studied the original work thoroughly before starting to record the voice.

"Okay," Tang Yu replied in a standard manner.

There were other people in the dormitory, and Tang Yu didn't want to disturb them. Fortunately, Hu Siyue had the same thought, and she arranged for them to meet at a milk tea shop on the weekend for a face-to-face rehearsal.

Bang!

A sudden loud noise in the dormitory startled Tang Yu, even with her earphones on.

Removing her earphones, Tang Yu turned her head to see a girl standing at the door, wearing extremely glamorous makeup and styled with big wavy hair. The girl also wore a transparent chiffon coat over a black camisole that highlighted her stunning figure.

Tang Yu wasn't the only one startled by the well-endowed girl's loud entry. The two other occupants of the room were also disturbed. However, neither Tang Yu nor her two roommates recognized the well-endowed girl at first glance. It was only after Guo Yifan had paused the online lecture she was watching and walked up to the door did everyone become enlightened about the girl's identity.

"Wu Na?! What happened to you... Why are you like this?" Guo Yifan exclaimed.

Upon hearing the name mentioned by Guo Yifan, even Wang Feifei, who was rudely awakened by the noise and about to protest, couldn't help but be shocked as she stared at the girl standing in front of the door.

However, Wu Na didn't seem to hear Guo Yifan's words as she stumbled forward while carrying a strong smell of alcohol on her, her eyes, adorned with exquisite eye makeup, staying only half-opened and looking hazy. Then, before she could get anywhere, she suddenly covered her mouth and rushed past Guo Yifan to the bathroom, where she started to retch violently.

Guo Yifan was caught at a loss by this situation. She exchanged looks with Tang Yu, both seeing the complicated emotions on each other's faces. As for Wang Feifei, she sat on her bed, stunned.

For a time, all three of them chose not to say anything and only the sound of Wu Na's miserable puking could be heard in the dormitory.

After a moment, Guo Yifan went to turn off the air conditioner and opened the windows and doors to ventilate the room. After all, Wu Na's return had caused the stench of alcohol to fill the entire room, creating a suffocating environment.

Meanwhile, Wang Feifei got off her bed and applied some lipstick in front of her makeup mirror. Then, while running her fingers through her hair, she said to the quiet Tang Yu, "Let's go buy some hangover medicine for Wu Na so she doesn't get alcohol poisoning."

Tang Yu agreed with Wang Feifei's suggestion, but she first turned to Guo Yifan, seeking her opinion.

"You two go to the clinic to buy medicine. I'll go outside and get some hot water. I'll take care of things here," Guo Yifan said, frowning slightly. After this interruption, she was no longer in the mood to resume watching her online lecture, even if it was taught by a famous lecturer.

"Okay." Wang Feifei nodded to the arrangement.

Wang Feifei was about to step out the door when she was suddenly stopped by Guo Yifan, who asked, "Did you bring your medical insurance card? It's cheaper to get medicine with it."

In response, Wang Feifei pulled out a card from the back pocket of her shorts and shook it, saying, "I brought it, don't worry."

There were still many people moving around on the campus, some running with books toward the library and some walking in groups toward the recording studio.

Tang Yu and Wang Feifei walked in silence toward the medical room, crossing a tree-lined path. The path was long and deserted, and only the sound of leaves rustling with the wind could be heard.

Wang Feifei silently adjusted her long sunscreen coat and her disheveled hair. She was someone with a lively personality, but this personality became muted when she was around Tang Yu.

"Um..." Ultimately, Wang Feifei failed to bear the awkward silence, so she opened her mouth and asked, "Did Wu Na skip class again today?"

Tang Yu recalled the roll call in class today and didn't hear Wu Na's name being called. "I didn't really pay attention, but I don't think she came today."

"Sheesh, she's missed several days of class in a row. Isn't she afraid of being expelled?" Wang Feifei was a student who had worked hard and earned high grades in high school. She wasn't as focused on scholarships as Guo Yifan, but she was a serious student nonetheless. No matter how rebellious of an attitude she had, she wouldn't just skip class without a word. And even if she were going to skip class without a proper reason, she would at least get someone to take attendance for her.

Tang Yu fell silent for a moment and added, "She has also stayed out all night many times, but Guo Yifan covered for her."

"Say...what do you think Wu Na is doing when she's out? I rarely see her in the dorm, and on the rare occasion she comes backshe returns drunk like this. Could it be..." Wang Feifei suddenly felt chills down her spine, finding the thought that popped into her mind unbelievable.

Tang Yu could guess what Wang Feifei was thinking. Most likely, her roommate had assumed Wu Na had gone out to do things such as compensated dating. And even if it were something else, it wouldn't be anything good.

"Let's not jump to random conclusions before we learn of the truth," Tang Yu kindly reminded Wang Feifei.

Wang Feifei was a person who could read people's expressions, so she promptly understood Tang Yu's intentions. Awkwardly scratching her hair, she apologized, "Sorry, I got a little ahead of myself there."

Tang Yu smiled lightly and didn't say anything else.

Upon arriving at the medical building, Wang Feifei went to the school clinic to find the school doctor. Tang Yu, who was not good at socializing, sat quietly in the lobby waiting.

The school doctor was writing and drawing in his notebook when he heard a knock on the door. Without even raising his head, he said, "Come in."

Wang Feifei sat down in front of the doctor and cautiously said, "Doctor, I want to get some hangover medicine."

The doctor paused his writing and scrutinized the girl in front of him. The girl looked quite pretty and well-behaved, so he asked, "Who is it for?"

"It's...for my roommate." Wang Feifei was caught off guard by the question and ended up stuttering. Then, in a dilemma, she frowned and asked, "Does she have to come in person to buy it?"

The doctor reached for a form and started writing on it. Then, in a lukewarm voice, he said, "No need. Just give me her name."

"Wang Feifei."

"Department?"

"Broadcasting Department."

The doctor finished filling out Wang Feifei's information and inquired about her roommate's symptoms before scribbling a bunch of unreadable characters on the form. Then, he handed the form to Wang Feifei and added, "Young girls your age shouldn't be drinking; it's harmful to the body."

Wang Feifei inexplicably blushed as she looked at the doctor's emotionless face. She quickly took the list and thanked the doctor repeatedly before leaving the clinic.

Seeing Wang Feifei come out, Tang Yu stood up from her chair and looked at her roommate with a puzzled expression, wondering why there was a strange blush on her roommate's face.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yu asked.

Wang Feifei's cheeks were puffed up slightly, making her look somewhat cute. "The school doctor isn't as scary as the rumors say."

Watching Wang Feifei walk to the dispensary to get the medicine, Tang Yu quickly came to a realization. It seemed that her roommate had fallen for the school doctor.

On the way back, Wang Feifei suddenly became talkative, but eight out of ten of her sentences were about the school doctor. To name a few examples:

"Oh my god, my classmates said they were afraid to go to the infirmary before because the school doctor was so scary. I was so nervous when I went in, but it turns out he's really gentle."

"And he's so handsome. Do you think a lot of people are pursuing him?"

"I wonder if he's single."

"Oh, I forgot to check what his name was."

Tang Yu helplessly shook her head, though she didn't really mind her roommate's chattering. Wang Feifei's personality reminded her of Fang Ling. Both of them were carefree and easy-going people.

While Tang Yu and Wang Feifei were on their way back from the clinic, Guo Yifan stood despondently at the dormitory door, sighing.

Although Wu Na was drunk, thankfully, she didn't vomit all over the place. After vomiting, she flushed the toilet, but the strong smell of alcohol didn't diminish at all. Guo Yifan was almost suffocated by it and had to step out of the dormitory to take a few breaths of fresh air.

After what felt like a long time, the sounds inside the room suddenly disappeared. Guo Yifan turned around to look into the room but failed to see Wu Na coming out of the bathroom.

A bad feeling suddenly rose up in Guo Yifan's heart, and she stiffly walked toward the bathroom. The next second, her breathing suddenly stopped, and her pupils shrank.

A moment later, a panicked and tragic scream echoed through the entire dormitory building, causing many people to come out of their dormitories and head toward the noise in curiosity.
