Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Suddenly, the chef in the blue apron seemed to sense something. He abruptly dropped the milk in his hand and, from who knows where, produced a tomato, handing it to the student who was swiping their card beside him.

After swiping their card, that student also quickly retrieved their student ID, but didn't realize the milk had been replaced with a tomato. Hastily grabbing it from the tray, they picked up the tray and left.

Throughout the entire meal purchase process, this student had been incredibly cautious, but despite this, when they picked up the milk, they still didn't notice the change in texture…

The blue-aproned chef's gaze began to shift away from Lin Yi and Wei Liang.

He tilted his head at an extremely slow pace, then slowly moved his stiff body, focusing his gaze entirely on the student's back.

He licked the ketchup from the corner of his mouth, and in the depths of his eye sockets, a faint golden light seemed to flicker.

Then he raised his foot and slowly walked towards that student.

…

"Huh?"

Lin Yi, who was heading towards a table, suddenly noticed that the ominous and dangerous aura that had been enveloping him seemed to dissipate slightly.

He didn't understand why, but because he had already experienced the double trouble of that strange student and that green-aproned chef, he wouldn't relax in the slightest.

He led Wei Liang through the student cafeteria, finally finding a relatively well-lit table in the vast crowd and sitting down.

After putting down the tray, Lin Yi didn't rush to eat. Instead, he carefully inspected all the food on the tray, confirming that no tomato-related ingredients had been mixed in, before finally starting to eat.

Wei Liang watched Lin Yi.

From the moment Lin Yi finished inspecting the food to the moment he lowered his head to take the first bite, Lin Yi's face remained almost buried in the tray.

"Lao Lin…?"

Wei Liang faintly sensed something. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard Lin Yi lower his voice, issuing a serious warning in a deep tone: "Liangzi, listen to me, lower your head and eat!"

"Ah? Oh… Oh oh!" Seeing Lin Yi so solemn, Wei Liang didn't raise any questions. Although he was a little puzzled, he still did as he was told.

"Before you eat, re-examine the food to see if any tomato-related ingredients have been mixed in!"

As Lin Yi spoke, he wolfed down his food, wishing he could finish it all in one go and escape the cafeteria.

Hearing the word "tomato," Wei Liang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. He quickly moved the food with his chopsticks, carefully checking it, but ultimately found nothing.

"Lao Lin, there are no tomatoes in my food."

"That's good. Start eating now, don't care how fragrant the food is, eat quickly, and we'll leave as soon as we're done!"

"Oh oh oh… Okay." Wei Liang wouldn't question Lin Yi's words at all.

"Also…"

"Yeah, Lao Lin, what is it…?"

"You fucking… stop shaking your leg."

"…" Wei Liang said aggrievedly, "Uh… Lao Lin, you look a little flustered, I can't help but shake it."

"Then shake the other leg, there's ketchup on your right shoe."

"Okay, okay—wait, what?! You said, ke—tch—up—"

Wei Liang's voice instantly rose eight octaves, as if he had been ejected from a seat, subconsciously about to launch himself from the chair.

But the prepared Lin Yi pressed down on his head with his backhand, burying his face in the tray, immediately stifling all the sound.

"…Sauce, glug glug…?!"

"Lao Lin, you glug glug… no, wait… glug glug…"

Wei Liang's head was being pressed down, his hands flailing wildly, and it was only with great difficulty that he slapped Lin Yi's hand away.

"I said… cough cough! Cough cough cough!! Lao Lin, you… you trying to drown me in the food?"

He flushed red and said indignantly.

Lin Yi was also a little embarrassed and quickly said: "Listen to my defense, no, listen to my explanation, I was just afraid that you would react too much and attract unnecessary attention… so Liangzi, listen to me first, there's ketchup on your foot."

Wei Liang subconsciously reached for his right shoe.

"Don't take off your shoes!" Lin Yi stopped him, "According to the rules, taking off your shoes and throwing them away is allowed, but… don't take them off in the cafeteria!"

Cafeteria Rule #11:

【After leaving the cafeteria, please take off your clothes as soon as possible and check whether there is ketchup on your body. If there is, throw the clothes into the nearest trash can (note that it is to be thrown into the trash can, do not litter!)】

Wei Liang's hand, which was about to touch his right foot, paused in mid-air in response.

At this critical moment, his brain circuits were working rapidly, and he naturally thought of this rule.

He nodded: "I… understand, so we eat first, and then leave immediately?"

"Right!" Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "The cafeteria rules will never be wrong, do you remember the one written at the very beginning of the rules? From now on, we don't care about anything, just finish eating and run!"

"I underestimated the potential danger of the cafeteria before, and I was a little careless. Now the situation is different, we must leave the cafeteria as soon as possible!"

"Then why don't we just not eat?" Wei Liang subconsciously wanted to blurt out this sentence, but his reason suppressed it.

Precisely because he had been here once before, he was even more aware of the value of the cafeteria.

【Not eating the cafeteria's food】, he couldn't bring himself to say such a self-destructive thing.

"The cafeteria's food… seems to be a little different from what we usually eat outside. Besides tasting very good, it's also very filling," Wei Liang didn't know what he was thinking, suppressed the fear in his heart, and reminded him.

"Also, Lao Lin, don't eat too fast, just eat at a normal speed."

Lin Yi nodded, still gobbling down his rice, but soon he realized what Wei Liang meant.

"Huh… this food?"

He suddenly froze, his brows slowly furrowing, and a look of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

He slowed down his eating speed and began to slowly chew the food in his mouth, then swallowed it.

Throughout the whole process, he carefully experienced the changes in the food from his mouth to his stomach, and then he was surprised to find that as the food went down, a warm current appeared from his stomach, and then spread like a trickle to his body…

"This…?!"

Lin Yi was shocked. After a mouthful of food, his whole body felt warm, like he had drunk alcohol in the dead of winter.

"This is food?"

What kind of food can give you the feeling of taking a sauna?!

This food… isn't pure!

At this time, Wei Liang's voice came again: "Hehe, did you find out? Isn't it completely different?"

Lin Yi remained silent, still immersed in the shock brought by the food.

Wei Liang said: "This S City University is built in the deep mountains and old forests. There is abnormal weather every now and then. The yin and humidity are very heavy. Even if you only stay for a day or two, you will feel very uncomfortable, either sticky or dry. Anyway, it's very uncomfortable."

"But as long as you come to the cafeteria to eat, this feeling will disappear…"

Lin Yi listened attentively. He hadn't yet experienced the discomfort Wei Liang described, probably because he hadn't been at the school long enough.

However, when he was eating just now, he really did feel like the dampness in his body was being continuously steamed out…

"So I suspect…" Wei Liang said with utmost seriousness, "…that the food in this cafeteria might contain Sildenafil pills."

"Huh? What kind of pills?"

"Sildenafil!"

"What the heck is that?"

Wei Liang put down his chopsticks and stared at Lin Yi with his mouth wide open: "Seriously, Lao Lin? As an experienced pervert, you don't even know what that is? It's Viagra!"

"…" Lin Yi was speechless. "How the hell would I know about that kind of stuff?"

Wei Liang immediately cast a contemptuous glance: "Tsk ~ ~ ~ Seems like you're still on the first level of perversion, only fantasizing about stockings and beautiful legs, right? Never touched them, have you? Heh heh heh…"

Lin Yi glared at him: "Laugh so creepily. Want me to dump the rest of my food on your face or not?"

"Heh heh heh, you're getting worked up, you're getting worked up! Fine, fine, fine, you bastard. I was going to show you H-manga, and you want to dump food on my face instead?"

"…" Lin Yi was silent. The thought of dumping the food on Wei Liang was just a joke in the end. He finally opened his mouth wide and shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, muttering, "Sounds like you've touched them before?"

Wei Liang said smugly: "Heh, I've touched—stockings!"

When he mentioned this, it was as if he had been struck by some fetish, his eyebrows danced with joy, self-satisfied.

Finally, he added: "…Without the legs."

"Tch ~ ~ ~" Lin Yi sneered and continued to eat in silence. "The pot calling the kettle black! I think you should just eat your food! Finish eating and get out of here with me!"

Wei Liang chuckled twice and stopped arguing, concentrating on his meal.

It must be said that the cafeteria rules were absolutely correct—

【When queuing for food and during meals, do not pay attention to any requests for conversation initiated by strangers around you. If you have companions, please focus on your conversation with them and ignore all abnormal situations around you.】

Once you start bantering with Wei Liang, the eerie feeling brought by the external environment will gradually be ignored. Coupled with this warm and stomach-filling meal, the whole person feels much more comfortable.

This experience is like satisfyingly eating a health potion after a tense and exciting laning phase.

Lin Yi remembered… the last time Wei Liang came to participate in the experiential living program, he clearly brought enough changes of clothes and some emergency compressed biscuits, but he almost died in the end.

In Wei Liang's words, bringing your own food wasn't really a problem, but eating it just didn't have the same effect as the food in the cafeteria.

Moreover, one of the reasons why he felt dizzy and almost died in the school during the last few days was because he didn't go to the cafeteria to eat due to the weather, choosing to live on compressed biscuits between the dormitory and the teaching building.

Lin Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

「Just as Young Master Tian said, if the seven-day experiential living is a survival game, then one of the functions of the cafeteria is to provide 'players' with health potions!」

「Moreover, this is not an ordinary health potion, but a powerful health potion with its own purification effect!」

「Three meals a day are three times of replenishing health!」

As the time spent in the campus increases, the human body will experience an irresistible and irreversible discomfort due to the campus environment or other unexplained factors. And going to the cafeteria to eat… can obtain an effective purification?

Perhaps it's not necessary to eat all three meals a day in the cafeteria, because he didn't eat yesterday's dinner or today's breakfast.

Of course, there may be some deviation here. After all, although today is his second day entering S City University, he has only been here for about 12 hours in total.

「So, it may not be necessary to eat all three meals a day, but there is definitely a time limit!」

Lin Yi had a feeling that if his guess was correct, this time limit might be around three days, because according to Wei Liang, he didn't go to the cafeteria to eat for two days last time.

「I'll ask Liangzi about this after we leave the cafeteria.」

After thinking to this extent, Lin Yi didn't continue to think on a deeper level, after all, further thinking might involve some other factors and rules.

He had already experienced how dangerous it was to overthink in this situation where there was no direct sunlight.

So he simply made a decision: 「After finishing the meal, I'll go back to the classroom and write all these thoughts down in my notebook!」

…

Just as the two of them were silently eating, Lin Yi suddenly felt someone passing by on his right hand side, and then stopping stiffly next to him.

Lin Yi frowned warily, but based on the existence of the cafeteria rules, he didn't even intend to look.

Accompanied by a gong-like sound, a tray was placed next to him.

Lin Yi frowned warily +1…

But based on the existence of the cafeteria rules, he still didn't even intend to look.

Accompanied by a slow "hiss…" sound, he felt the chair next to him being pulled out.

Then, someone sat down.

Lin Yi frowned warily +1…

But based on the existence of the cafeteria rules, he still didn't even intend to l—

Ahem, he still silently held the edge of the chair and gently moved a little to the side, slightly away from the person who had just sat down.

But at this time, he suddenly noticed a shadow on the table to his left.

It turned out that someone had been standing on his left hand side since he didn't know when, and then, a similar tray was placed on the table in the same way.

Two trays, two people, seemed to sandwich him in the middle.

「Something abnormal must be happening…」 Lin Yi warily rubbed his sore eyebrows, feeling uneasy in his heart.

He silently moved the chair back to its original position and buried himself in eating.

But after only taking two bites, his ears caught the sound of footsteps again. It seemed that several more people had walked to their table, and then sat down in unison…

The tables and chairs in the student restaurant were uniformly blue tables and blue plastic chairs, but the styles were divided into six-person tables and eight-person tables. Lin Yi and Wei Liang were sitting at an eight-person table.

And now the eight-person table was directly filled with people.

Moreover, it seemed that more people were gathering towards them.

Just as Lin Yi was eating while listening to the movements around him, he suddenly heard Wei Liang, who was sitting opposite him, making "glug glug gurgle" sounds, sounding like he was chewing something like he was swallowing dates whole.

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't react, Wei Liang's movements couldn't help but increase: "Glug-ga-ga-gurgle…"

While calling out, he kicked Lin Yi's foot with his left foot.
