Trembling At A High Altitude

"Let's all introduce ourselves, so it's easier to arrange things in the future. I'll go first. My last name is Li, and my name is Li Anqi. Before coming here, I was a department manager at a joint venture company. In this scenario, I'm playing a teacher leading the team." After dinner, having consulted with Li Teng, Elsa gathered everyone in the living room for a meeting.

When she first joined Yao Xue's team, she was a new actor and didn't understand anything, and neither did the others—no one was willing to take orders from anyone else.

But things were different now. With Li Teng backing her, she naturally wanted to establish her authority among the new actors while Li Teng was here.

Li Teng was also learning her name for the first time, sharing the same surname as him, Li. Perhaps influenced by Anna before, several female actors in the crew were reluctant to reveal their real names. Now, it seemed they thought hiding or not hiding their names wasn't so important after all, so she spoke it out loud.

"Next, it's your turn to introduce yourself; a similar introduction will do" Elsa... that is, Li Anqi, said to the woman beside her, who was the one who had tried the food earlier and whom Elsa had pulled to sit next to her as a covert incentive for obedient employees.

"My name is Wang Min. Before coming here... I was a teacher at a school, and in this scenario, I'm also playing a teacher leading the team." The woman introduced herself briefly.

"Let's all welcome Teacher Wang!" Elsa made a clapping motion, and the other female actors quickly joined in the applause.

Is this some form of corporate culture? Li Teng found this a bit amusing; Elsa seemed to have brought the practices from her company in the real world into this setting.

"My name is Yang Yiju, a university student studying dance. This time I'm playing a trainee."

"My name is Liu Shina, also a university student, majoring in painting. I'm also playing a trainee this time."

"My name is Huang Tingting, a university student studying broadcasting and hosting, and I'm playing a trainee this time as well."

"My name is Fan Wendie, just like them, I am a university student, from the history department, and I am also playing a trainee this time."

The four female actors, all around twenty years old, introduced themselves.

"Alright, you can call me Teacher Li and her Teacher Wang. You will be Classmate Yang, Classmate Liu, Classmate Huang, and Classmate Fan. This way it's easier for us to address each other regarding any matters. Um, let's all get to know each other again, and if you can't remember the names, at least remember the surnames." Elsa continued to lead the meeting.

The next item on the agenda was room assignments.

Elsa and Wang Min shared a room, the four trainees grouped themselves, and then she assigned Li Teng and Liu Yin to the same room.

The others seemed to find this quite normal; no one showed any strange expressions or anything of the sort.

Liu Yin wanted to say something but ultimately held back.

"Sister An Qi, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it's appropriate or not." Teacher Wang, that is Wang Min, spoke to Elsa.

"Sure, speak freely, don't worry. We can discuss it together," Elsa nodded in encouragement.

"I think for things like bathing and washing up, we can do them separately in four rooms, but for sleeping, it might be better to move all the beds into one large room. It would also make it easier to schedule someone to keep watch at night. We don't know if anything abnormal might happen here at night, so it's safer if we all stay together. It's just a suggestion; the final decision is up to you, Sister An Qi," Wang Min shared her idea.

"Hmm, that makes sense..." Elsa glanced at Li Teng and saw no objection in his expression

Before the meeting, when she consulted Li Teng on some specific matters, he had told her to make the arrangements, and if something was inappropriate, he would point it out then and there. Since Li Teng didn't object on the spot, it meant he agreed with her approach.

"Let's follow Teacher Wang's suggestion. Everyone go and wash up in your rooms, and then let's all help move the beds into one big room. I see the beds are quite easy to move, and the doors are wide enough, so it shouldn't be a problem," Elsa finished and declared the meeting adjourned.

...

The wardrobes in the room were stocked with clean sleepwear, and the amenities were very comprehensive, comparable to those of high-end hotel rooms.

After entering the room, Liu Yin let Li Teng go wash first.

When Li Teng was about to bathe, he noticed that the frosted glass wall was slightly translucent, so he turned off the light, which allowed him to bathe in peace.

A little while later, an actor from the next room also entered the bathroom of their room.

Perhaps for the convenience of pipeline installation during the renovation, the two sides were adjacent, separated only by a frosted glass wall in the middle.

Li Teng had turned off the light on his side, while the light was on next door. Unaware of the situation, they couldn't see what was happening on the side of the frosted glass and believed the people in the next room couldn't see them either. After entering, they went straight to showering.

One side had light, a very bright light, and the other side had none. Without light, it was problematic to see what was on the other side, as silhouettes and colors were all cast by the light.

This made Li Teng very uneasy.

He really didn't understand why these wealthy people designed their rooms this way.

It was truly a trap.

The designer's skills were too poor. Such a large piece of frosted glass truly looked ugly. They should have mixed in a few pieces of regular glass to make it aesthetic!

Luckily, Li Teng had purer thoughts and was an upright person, and thus didn't develop any inappropriate thoughts because of this.

He was someone with strong self-restraint. Although there were things he couldn't control, he could control his own thoughts.

After changing into his pajamas, Li Teng bent his back and hurried back to his room, quickly sitting down by the bed.

"Are you okay? Do you have a stomach ache?" Liu Yin asked Li Teng with concern.

"Just now... my back, I accidentally bumped it. It's nothing serious. Go take your shower so we can switch rooms," Li Teng waved his hand at Liu Yin.

"Did you bump your back? How could you be so careless? Is there any swelling? Don't ignore it, be careful of inflammation," Liu Yin continued to show concern for Li Teng.

"I'm really fine, don't worry," Li Teng waved his hand again.

"All right."

Seeing Liu Yin heading towards the bathroom, Li Teng instinctively turned off the overhead light in the room and lay down on the bed. He sighed deeply, trying to keep himself calm.

After Liu Yin went in, she casually turned on the light.

She looked through the frosted glass into the room but couldn't see anything.

It seemed the visual isolation effect of the frosted glass was not bad, almost the same as a normal wall.

So, she felt reassured and started to wash.

Li Teng, lying on the bed, unintentionally glanced in Liu Yin's direction and his tranquility was disturbed once again in an instant.

What the hell is this?

Is being a good person really that difficult?

He should visit these kinds of film sets less in the future; they're not good for one's health.

Especially for an old man like him, who could only maintain his youthfulness by exchanging Life Resources.

He really couldn't stand this kind of torment.

Just as Li Teng was staring in Liu Yin's direction, reflecting seriously on life, a piercing scream suddenly came from the room next door—a very mournful scream.

Li Teng immediately rushed out of his room.
