"Ah! My makeup!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah! What is this smell? It's disgusting!"
"The cameras! Protect the cameras! This equipment is all rented and expensive, we'll have to pay if it breaks!"
"They're insane, these students have all gone mad!"
"........"
The crew and celebrity guests screamed as they were drenched.
There was no sun today, and it had rained earlier. Even though it was noon, the temperature was only around six degrees Celsius. The moment the cold water splashed into their collars, it made them gasp sharply.
Especially when those foul-smelling, unidentified liquids landed on them, some couldn't help but vomit on the spot.
The celebrities were also a pitiful sight. Their meticulously applied makeup was ruined, their hairstyles flattened, and their designer clothes soaked through. They hugged their arms, shivering uncontrollably, looking utterly disheveled.
It wasn't that they didn't try to shield themselves, but water was being flung from all directions, making it impossible to block. They couldn't even run away, as they were already surrounded by the excited students.
And the ammunition here wasn't running out; nearby, classmates were rushing to fetch water from the first-floor washrooms and toilets, ensuring a continuous supply of 'reinforcements'.
Liu Yutong stood not far away, arms crossed, her eyes curved into crescents as she watched this lively scene.
The assistant director wiped his face, barely managing to open his eyes.
He finally understood now. Liu Yutong's so-called 'welcome ceremony' was deliberately meant to mess with them.
Furious, he pointed at Liu Yutong and shouted, "You're finished! I'm going to find your superiors! I must report you!"
Liu Yutong shrugged. "Suit yourself. We just wanted to express the finance university students' welcome for your production team. Don't you like it?"
"If you don't like it, tough luck. It's perfect for your cameras to get some good footage, let the audience see how enthusiastic our school's students are. Oh, by the way, those machines of yours shouldn't break from just a little water, right?"
The assistant director sputtered, "You... you..." He was too angry to speak.
Just then, several university administrators, having heard about a conflict between students and the production team at the dormitory building, hurried to the scene with a group of security guards.
This was no small matter. If anything happened to the students, they would all be held accountable.
But as they rushed to the scene, they gradually slowed their pace, staring in confusion at the students fetching and splashing water everywhere.
What was going on?
Weren't they told the students and the crew were fighting?
Why were they having a water fight?
At that moment, a quick-witted student ran up to them and reported the situation: "We're just holding a welcome ceremony for them, as the director requested."
The assistant director yelled, "Bullshit! When did I ever say that?!"
Hearing this, the university leaders immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a fight, it was fine.
They didn't leave but stood to the side and watched.
Honestly, seeing the students gleefully splashing water around the crew was quite amusing.
"My, the students are so full of vitality. They're under a lot of academic pressure usually, it's good for them to relax occasionally."
"Indeed, I didn't expect the students to be so enthusiastic. It fully reflects the united, lively, and expressive spirit of our finance university students!"
"It's just that the weather is still a bit chilly. Won't they catch a cold?"
"It's fine. Have the cafeteria prepare some ginger tea. Once they're done playing and the crew finishes filming, they can have some ginger tea to warm up."
"Look how much fun the crew members are having."
"This production team is good, very professional!"
"......."
The assistant director, shivering, wiped his face several times before finally spotting the university leaders standing on the periphery. Tears immediately mixed with the water streaming down his face.
The rescuers had finally arrived!
He was determined to lodge a fierce complaint against that Liu Yutong, against these students, and demand compensation for their losses!
The assistant director scrambled and crawled, finally making his way out of the crowd. Once on his feet, he ran towards the leaders.
He crawled and stumbled, emerging from between the students' legs out of the warzone, then ran towards the leaders, waving at them and shouting, "Leaders, leaders, you're finally here to..."
Splat!
One of the leaders now held a water balloon and threw it squarely at the assistant director's face.
Hitting his target, he burst into laughter: "Director, you told me to throw it! My aim's pretty good, huh? Hahaha..."
Because there were too many students and the noise was chaotic, he hadn't heard the assistant director's words clearly. He only saw the other man waving at them and pointing at himself. Didn't that mean he wanted him to join in the welcome ceremony and throw one at him?
The assistant director was completely stunned by this water balloon to the face.
Actually, he had pointed at himself to show them his miserable state, to file his complaint. He never expected to be misunderstood.
And then he saw who had thrown the water balloon: the school's dean of students, the one who always wore a stern face and was strict about discipline.
Right now, not only was he not stern-faced, he was laughing like a child who had pulled off a successful prank, and even winked at the assistant director.
The assistant director pointed, stammering, "You... you all..."
Before he could voice his protest,
Another leader nearby seemed to have also 'understood' his gesture. Without hesitation, he snatched a bucket full of water from a male student beside him and flung its contents at the assistant director, giving him a second facial wash.
"The students are right, guests from afar shouldn't just stand there dry! Director, we welcome you too!"
"Hahaha, well done, Dean!"
"Great aim, Dean!"
"The Vice President splashed well too!"
"……"
Seeing the leaders not only failing to stop them but personally joining in, the students' enthusiasm soared even higher.
Someone shouted, "The Dean and the Vice President have given their orders! Don't hold back, everyone! Splash away, give our guests a proper welcome!"
This shout attracted passing students who didn't know what was happening, and they all joined this "Water Splashing Festival."
However, the ones being splashed remained only one party: the production team and the celebrity guests.
The university leaders seemed to have completely let loose, directly instructing the security guards,
"Quick, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Wang, you go help the students fetch water! That one... that basin is big, yes! Use that one to get water!"
"……"
In the end,
When the production team and celebrity guests first entered the finance university, they were all smiles. When they left, however, each one sported a bird's nest hairstyle, their bodies emitting a nauseating 'fragrance,' as they fled in utter disarray.
As they ran, they cried and cursed, "Like superiors, like inferiors! The academic atmosphere at this finance university is terrible! This is too much bullying!" and so on.
Li Xiaohui had just rushed from the library to the scene in a hurry, only to see the mess downstairs. Clutching her chest in distress, she exclaimed, "I'm too late!"
"Sister Yutong, how could you not call me ahead of time for something this fun!"
She had just heard there was some kind of water-splashing festival at the dorm building, that it was incredibly lively, and had immediately sprinted over.
The library was quite a distance from the dormitory, and by the time she arrived on the scene, she just caught sight of a group of drenched individuals running off with their equipment.
She was too late.
Liu Yutong didn't hide it from her and told her directly about the incident in the dorm.
Li Xiaohui was furious at first, but then she laughed and clapped her hands. "Serves them right! Let's see if they dare barge into the girls' dormitory again."
"Oh, by the way, Sister Yutong, their photography equipment must be pretty expensive, right? If they make us pay for it, wouldn't we have to compensate a huge amount?"
Liu Yutong wasn't the least bit concerned about the matter.
"Don't worry. If they want compensation, we'll give it to them. I'm just afraid they won't dare to ask for it!"
