Su Ran did not speak again, silently sitting there, lost in thought. The others in the dormitory remained quiet as well.
The entire dormitory was enveloped in silence, with the quartz clock on the wall ticking away.
It was already past nine in the evening!
Creak...
The dormitory door was pushed open, startling everyone, who quickly turned to look.
Liu Feifei, with an oddly spirited expression, rushed in but seemed to sense the strange atmosphere inside the dormitory and paused in her tracks.
"What’s wrong with you all?"
Liu Feifei stood there in confusion, staring blankly.
"Feifei is back! Did you get the photos developed?"
Zhang Li was the first to react, smiling as she spoke.
No one mentioned Su Ran's comments about the spirit writing game.
Liu Feifei glanced at Su Ran, who sat quietly on the bed with her head down, before turning her head to say, "What’s there to say? It's just a small matter."
"Quick, let me see..."
For a moment, it seemed they forgot about the heavy atmosphere in the dormitory. Out of curiosity, everyone crowded around, eager to see the photos taken that evening.
Perhaps because she had bickered with Liu Feifei earlier, Lin Xi felt curious but did not push forward to fight for a look at the photos.
"Not bad, Feifei! Your photography skills are getting better and better!"
Chen Mumu exclaimed as she looked at several photos taken in front of a red Cherry Blossom tree.
"Of course, you forgot that Liu Feifei wrote down her dream of becoming a photographer on her graduation report in high school," Tian Xiaojing joked from the side.
After everyone finished looking, it seemed they understood that Lin Xi felt a bit embarrassed due to her relationship with Liu Feifei, so they quietly passed the photos over.
Lin Xi took a thick stack of photos. She flipped through them one by one.
Inside were familiar figures. Looking at the photos, she could even clearly remember where they had all stood under the Red Cherry Blossom Tree.
She glanced roughly at the photos, but just as she was almost done looking, her hand suddenly froze.
It was a group photo, taken when Liu Feifei turned the camera towards the six of them. They were almost pressed against each other to fit everyone in the frame.
"One... two... three... four... five... six... seven..."
Lin Xi felt a chill run down her spine as she looked closely. Her vision blurred, but when she counted, she was shocked to discover something.
In the photo, there was actually an extra woman?
The outline was unclear; her long hair covered most of her face, and she appeared a bit short, but she stood right behind them.
She clearly remembered that under that Cherry Blossom Tree, it had only been the six of them—there had been no one else.
Ah...
With a girl's instinct, Lin Xi hesitated for just a moment upon seeing this photo and then screamed. She threw all the photos in her hands away.
The pictures scattered across the floor, startling everyone and drawing their attention to the terrified expression on Lin Xi's face.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"
Xia Xiaoyu snapped back to reality, not bothering with the scattered photos, and asked Lin Xi.
"There's a photo... there's an extra person... an extra person?"
With a hesitant shout, before anyone could speak, they all rushed to pick up the photos scattered on the ground.
Surin raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xi's face. In an instant, her expression changed slightly.
"That's the one!"
As they picked up the photos, everyone worked hard to flip through them, constantly scanning the figures in the pictures.
"It's that group photo of us..."
Lin Xi seemed lost, her pale face revealing her fear.
"Is it here?"
Zhang Li said, and everyone quickly turned to look.
However, no matter how closely they examined the photo, it only showed the six of them.
There was no one else at all.
