Many people believe that university life is full of romances and
adventures. For me, as a male junior student, things related to romance
have nothing to do with me; in fact, the only thing romantic I have
experienced turned out to be quite spooky.
Most people must have heard about the legend of the 「four-legged
monster」--the event in which two students of NCCU were suspended from
school because they were found taking a shower together. But, in the
eyes of us university students, it is no big deal! Couples sleeping in
the same bedroom, feeding each other with the same spoon or even taking
a shower together are as normal as people going to stool or peeing
everyday. Still, since that incident, the men』s dormitory has become an
amative symbol for lovers』 dreamland. For my part, I have heard enough
of those stories; I would like to witness once this romantic moment.
The chance came one night when I came back to the dorm after finishing
practicing in my guitar club. It was about one o』clock. While I
entered the public showering room, I saw two pairs of feet standing in
the same showering cubicle. Wow~ a free show was on! Obeying the
impulse and the thrill over my body, I decided to brush my teeth in the
basin first and wait to find out who these sweet lovers were. As
minutes ticked away, finally the sound of showering stopped. I carefully
held my breath and my heartbeats became faster and faster. Then the
unzipping of the curtain pierced the stillness of the night, and there
walked out a man—just one man, with no other one left behind.
Who did the other pair of legs belong to? I choose not to speculate.
Since then, I dared not to be too curious about things in the showering
room, especially late at night. A rosy dreamland for dormitory life?
Maybe. But be careful because there is more than what meets the eye.
