"Seems quite exciting!"
Lin Xi also seemed to have developed an interest and asked.
"Really, what are the steps? How about we play a round tonight!"
Chen Mumu was eager to stir up some chaos.
"Sure, sure!"
Even more surprisingly, Tian Xiaojing chimed in.
"How tacky!"
Although Xia Xiaoyu felt a bit curious, she would not easily let go of her pride in such a childish game.
"…"
The others glanced at Xia Xiaoyu, giving her a roll of the eyes in response to her quiet remark.
"It's only ten o'clock now... We can't start until midnight!"
Liu Feifei looked at the Quartz Clock and told the group.
Xia Xiaoyu then realized how quickly time had passed while they were joking around!
Outside the window, darkness enveloped everything, obscuring the outlines of the night, resembling a chaotic world devoid of color.
The dormitory felt like a confined space; aside from the light that provided a sense of relaxation, it could not mask the silence of the night.
If it were in the new Girls' Dormitory, it definitely wouldn't be this quiet, as that place is the center of the entire school.
The dormitory building to the south is separated by a small path, with a little grove obscuring it, making it feel completely devoid of any noise.
This feeling is somewhat reminiscent of the atmosphere described in Cai Jun's novel Desolate Village Apartment.
One can even sense that kind of ambiance!
"It's almost eleven o'clock! Forget it, I'll go take a shower..."
Xia Xiaoyu looked at everyone in silence and slowly spoke after a long period of quiet in the dormitory.
In the new Girls' Dormitory, after all, it's a university, and each dorm room in the city has a bathroom on the right side upon entering.
However, perhaps because the Old Dormitory was built earlier, it doesn't have such convenient facilities! Therefore, there are no bathrooms inside the dormitory.
Each floor only has one shared Water Room bathroom located to the right at the top of the stairs!
With all the essentials ready, Xia Xiaoyu took her shower gel, skincare products, and basin and stepped out of the dormitory.
The new Girls' Dormitory is fully occupied, and there aren't many remaining residents; aside from the Old Dormitory being somewhat remote with not many people around, some dorms are even empty!
Fortunately, as Xia Xiaoyu stepped out, she happened to encounter two girls coming from the neighboring dormitory; they must have gone to the restroom together!
In the entire empty corridor outside, encountering even one person brings a sense of security.
Looking down from the fifth floor, only a few solitary lights cast an eerie yellow glow along both sides of the path. One could hardly believe that there could be such a quiet place in the school.
Xia Xiaoyu didn't want to look too closely because the more she tried to gaze downwards, the more that inexplicable fear would spread within her.
However, with the dim streetlights, Xia Xiaoyu could only vaguely see something!
That was cherry blossoms, blooming brightly on both sides of the path, extending into the endless darkness.
It felt like a never-ending ghost road, with no beginning and no end!
Thinking of this, Xiaoyu suddenly felt a chill run down her spine! Not daring to look any longer, she quickly walked into the bathroom.
Usually, being home alone didn't bother her, but Xia Xiaoyu had a feeling that ever since she arrived at this school, there was a shadow hanging over her heart.
At that moment, she didn't care about those thoughts. Inside the bathroom, the spray faucet released a fluffy mist of water, washing away the sweat and odors accumulated throughout the day.
After hearing the sound of the toilet flushing and the faucet being turned off from the two girls who had come from the neighboring dormitory, Xia Xiaoyu knew they had left the bathroom.
She was alone in the bathroom, and it felt eerily quiet. Although Xiaoyu was usually bold, at that moment, she didn't want to be alone in this unsettlingly silent space...
Tick-tock... tick-tock...
In the quiet bathroom, only the faucet that hadn't been tightened continued to drip. It felt empty and desolate—somewhat piercing and strange.
After getting dressed, Xiaoyu opened the dormitory door and stepped outside!
