Early Spring Season, the days are not long, and by six o'clock, the outside has already grown dim.
Xia Xiaoyu and a few Roommates returned to the dormitory, feeling quite exhausted, while the second hand of the Quartz Clock continued to tick away.
With a sigh of resignation, they all sat weakly on their beds.
Surin had not returned yet; it was unclear where she had gone. However, her actions were always mysterious, leaving others puzzled about what kind of person she truly was.
“I heard from Feifei that you all played Spirit of the Pen in the dorm last night. Is that true?”
Zhang Li and Lin Xi sat on the same bed and, noticing the somewhat dull atmosphere in the room, casually brought up a topic.
“Yeah, but it didn’t work at all; those games aren’t reliable,” Chen Mumu replied from the side.
However, just after saying this, she became somewhat dazed because of the lights going out.
How did the lights go out last night?
This was an unanswerable question; at least they didn’t know now.
“Actually, I have a more interesting game, a Western one that is said to be very effective…”
Zhang Li said excitedly.
Chen Mumu turned her head to look at Zhang Li, asking skeptically, “What game?”
“Midnight Apple Peeling!”
Zhang Li smiled.
“Midnight Apple Peeling?”
Everyone looked at Zhang Li with puzzled expressions.
“Yeah, at Midnight, you go to a small, enclosed space by yourself. Then you place a piece of glass that reflects your entire body in front of you, and while peeling an apple in front of the glass, you peel it slowly. As long as the apple skin keeps coming off and you completely peel the apple, when you look up at the glass, you'll see your future beloved!” Zhang Li said mysteriously.
“No way, is it really that magical?”
Lin Xi seemed somewhat skeptical, but deep down, she was also curious; after all, they were all interested in their future partners.
“I don’t know, but I heard from a friend that it really works…” Zhang Li continued.
“Well…”
Lin Xi wanted to ask more, but just then, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open.
Surin walked in with an indifferent expression. She still had that cold demeanor; even though the dorm was lively, her presence seemed to cool down the entire space a few degrees.
Her indifferent gaze merely swept over a few people in the dorm before she directly sat on her bed. She remained silent, her head slightly lowered, no longer observing anything around her.
She was just like when Xia Xiaoyu first met her—sitting there without saying a word.
Zhang Li found it a bit strange since she had never encountered Surin before and was somewhat taken aback by the “strange” Surin in front of her.
However, as they were roommates who often saw each other, it was only right to acknowledge her. So she stood up, wanting to greet Surin, but was stopped by Xia Xiaoyu.
Surin was inherently odd; they all knew that. Perhaps she preferred being alone.
“Be careful when you sleep tonight!” Surin suddenly lifted her head at that moment and glanced at Zhang Li, speaking to them all.
"Be careful?"
Lin Xi, Chen Mumu, Xia Xiaoyu, Zhang Li, and Tian Xiaojing looked at Su Ran with confusion in their eyes.
"Have you ever heard a story? The one about the Pen Spirit!"
Su Ran's voice was monotonous and cold, her speech somewhat slow and lacking intonation, making it sound a bit awkward.
"…"
Everyone in the dormitory remained silent, simply watching Su Ran, knowing that this was not the time to interrupt her.
"There was a male student who secretly went to an internet café to play games. One night, he played with the Pen Spirit alone. The Pen Spirit is hard to summon, but unexpectedly, he managed to call it. He asked the Pen Spirit a question: Would the teacher come to check on them at night? The Pen Spirit answered with 'no.' He was so happy that he forgot not to let go halfway through and didn't send the Pen Spirit away. As a result, when he climbed over the wall that night, he fell and died, his body decaying…"
Su Ran's indifferent voice stopped as she looked at each person in the dormitory.
The chilling atmosphere made everyone in the All Dormitory shiver.
Lin Xi trembled in fear as she recalled the scenes from last night, from the candles being extinguished one by one to them letting go of each other's hands.
They had all given up halfway!
