To return home after a long travel, what a pleasure, what a delight~
Xiao Shen had a refreshing feeling take over him, sweeping even the very depths of his soul.
Entering into the university town had never felt this good before!
With a skip in his steps, he merrily went over to the large university gate, greeting all the aunties and uncles he passed by with a smile.
Home, how sweet it is~
It is said that children had three homes, the house of their parents, their school, and their grandparents' house.
The university building was his school, hence his second home.
He went over the familiar roads and streets, going past several department and faculty buildings until he reached the male dormitory. This building was like a supermarket, constantly bustling with people of both sexes trooping in and out. Opposite it was the sacred female dormitory that was off limits to every male. The gate remained tightly shut and the whole building was quiet and serene.
There was a street vendor around the corner who sold snacks like sugar coated peanuts or fried dough sticks. A few students huddled around him to buy something and keep their mouths busy, while they played with their phones. A gentle breeze fluttered the leaves on the trees planted by the gardens, taking away the heat brought about by the sun.
Suddenly, the solar powered lights were switched on, driving away the creeping darkness and illuminating the area with a new beauty.
It was at this point that Xiao Shen suddenly realized that the world was really, really pretty. Humans were so busy with their lives that they tender to overlook pretty moments such as this.
"Xiao Shen, you're under arrest!" Two police officer uncles suddenly popped up out of nowhere and pointed at him.
"...." Xiao Shen.
Author, what kind of development is this?!
Cut! Cut the scene! How the freaking flying f*ck is this supposed to make sense?!!
The people around the area all stopped what they were doing and began to stare, while the Viewers on his 'life' stream came out of their lurking mode.
[Drama~(✯ᴗ✯)]
[Anchor, what have you done again?]
[Shoot him, policeman! Slay this puny mortal that dares to survive this long!!!]
[Fight them!]
[Don't fight them! I'm this modern day the pen is greater than the sword!]
[### is right! Stab them with pens! They'll never see it coming!]
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Countless messages were spammed, flooding the bullet chats.
Xiao Shen had the corners of his lips twitch. "Officers, what am I under arrest for?"
"Serious charges." The moustached police uncle shook his head. "Terrorist activities including the suspected possession of a poisonous gas, and a suspected deliberate attack on innocent civilians by said gas."
The beardless police uncle nodded his head. "Please corporate, Mr Xiao, so that we do not have to resort to using force!"
"Suspected terrorist charges?!" Xiao Shen blinked in disbelief. His feet moved to follow the police officers while his thoughts ran faster than 5G internet.
Just how the hell had the police come to such a nonsensical conclusion?!
He was a model student with okay grades and a good character. Sure, he had been a bit of a truant in his younger years, but that was not enough to pin terrorist charges on him!
Where would he have even gotten poison gas to...
Wait, gas?
F*ck! Was this because of the Jiangshi incident from earlier?!
Everyone else had fainted except him! It was exceedingly suspicious!
"Let's go over to the station, then." The police officer uncle with a moustache nodded and led him away in handcuffs.
Already, multiple posts were trending on WeChat and Weibo with the tag:
# Shocking! University student arrested due to terrorist charges!

Sometimes, when one was extremely tired, life would give one lemons. To some, these lemons were awful and hurting. To others, these lemons could be squeezed into lemonade and enjoyed as a refreshing drink...
Xiao Shen was tired after all the exciting events that had occured today and needed a night's rest to comprehend everything.
He had wanted to get to the dorm and take a nap as quickly as possible, but somehow ended up in the police station.
But who said that he would not get the rest he wanted?
What, you thought he would be terrified out of his wits and constantly worrying about what would happen to him?
Naive!
Xiao Shen was currently curled up on a row of chairs placed side by side, far, far away in la-la land.
"...." Mustached Police Uncle.
He actually dares sleep in such a situation!
***
In the university hospital, the entire ward was filled up with several young men and women who were lying unconscious on various sick beds.
No, this was actually the university town's infirmary.
No one dared go over to the university hospital on a school day, as it meant that they could only be attended to by students and interns.
After all, there were very few things as scary as someone taking a selfie of you after an operation, posting it on her WeChat moments, and accidentally forgetting to sew you up before the anaesthesia stops having effect...
"Ah..." Dong Wang rubbed his head in agony, squinting his eyes as he sat up. "What happened?"
Soon after, a series of groans followed as the rest people began to wake up one by one.
The doctors were surprised as they quietly crossed off 'Carbon Monoxide poisoning' from their list of the suspected cause for the fainting phenomena.
There was no trace of any foreign element in their blood!

Meanwhile, at the police station, a higher ranked police uncle nodded as he received updated information from the hospital.
It turned out that their suspicions were very wrong!
There was never any poison gas to start with in the first place!
