"Xiao Xi. Are you seeing things? Where is there an extra person?"
Xia Xiaoyu turned around and looked at Lin Xi with a questioning expression.
Lin Xi glanced at the questioning look on Xia Xiaoyu's face, then looked at the photo in her hand.
She took the photo, but strangely, this time she looked into the picture.
Indeed, there were only the six of them?
The strange person in the photo had disappeared?
Could it really be that she was seeing things? That was impossible; Lin Xi absolutely did not believe that such a real event could just be a figment of her imagination.
"There really was a woman standing right behind us, in this spot...?"
Lin Xi pointed to the blank space behind them next to the Red Cherry Blossom Tree, explaining to the others.
Everyone remained silent, only looking at her with puzzled eyes!
"I really saw her, I did, I'm not lying to you..."
Lin Xi was so anxious that she was almost in tears; she sounded like an innocent child saying something unrealistic.
Everyone in the world listened, yet not a single person believed her!
"I believe you, but the fact is, there was no one there. Alright, Xiao Xi, maybe you were just too tired during the day; don't overthink it!"
Xia Xiaoyu looked at Lin Xi, who was almost in tears, and couldn't help but comfort her.
Lin Xi observed the expressions of everyone around her; from their eyes, she could still tell that they thought she was joking.
Especially when she saw the hint of disbelief in Liu Feifei's eyes, Lin Xi felt even more anxious, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Let's get some sleep!" Liu Feifei withdrew her gaze from Lin Xi and glanced at the Quartz Clock hanging on the wall.
It was already ten-thirty...
Outside, it was pitch black and silent; the dormitory building was quite remote, standing alone in the darkness like a Solitary Manor.
No one spoke; everyone burrowed into their own blankets.
Liu Feifei, who was by the door, turned off the lights...
The entire dormitory was left in an ethereal silence.
The Quartz Clock ticked softly, like a lullaby, gradually lulling everyone to sleep.
However, a sudden gust of wind made Xia Xiaoyu, who had not yet fallen asleep, shiver. Although the weather wasn't cold, the breeze sent a chill through her, causing her to curl up slightly. She turned her head away and settled into her most comfortable sleeping position.
As the breeze swept through the dormitory, she didn't notice that on the shelf above Liu Feifei's bed, a thick stack of photographs had one photo slowly slipping off the shelf.
Strangely enough, it didn't fall to the ground but floated out through the window on the balcony.
Across from them, Surin's face remained turned toward the wall, only allowing a vague outline to be seen.
In the dormitory, the silence was a bit unusual, but Xia Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention to it and gradually fell asleep.
The night remained quiet, with the stillness and darkness of the dormitory only interrupted by the ticking sound of the Quartz Clock, echoing in the emptiness.
Inside the dormitory, seven people were completely still.
However, at some unknown point, in a hazy state between sleep and wakefulness, Xia Xiaoyu felt a sudden chill wash over her.
She groggily opened her eyes and saw a head right in front of her, breathing slightly heavily.
The dormitory was very dark, but the two faces were almost touching. The bizarre scene made Xia Xiaoyu instantly lose all drowsiness.
"Shh, Xia Xiaoyu, don't scream. It's me, Xiao Xi!"
In the dark dormitory, a figure lifted its head and softly spoke to Xia Xiaoyu, stopping her from wanting to scream.
Xia Xiaoyu let out a breath she had been holding and said to Lin Xi, "Oh my gosh, Xiao Xi, what are you doing? You almost scared me to death..."
"Shh, keep it down. They're still sleeping; don't wake them up..." Lin Xi replied to Xia Xiaoyu.
"Why did you sneak over here in the middle of the night? I almost lost it!"
Xia Xiaoyu said helplessly to Lin Xi.
"Xia Xiaoyu, did you see?"
Lin Xi did not apologize to Xia Xiaoyu but instead asked her with a hint of fear, "What did you say? What did you see?"
The dormitory was dimly lit, and even though they were close, Xia Xiaoyu could not see Lin Xi's pale face, which was filled with fright.
"You really didn't see anything at all?"
In the darkness, Lin Xi continued to question.
"What are you talking about? The more I listen, the more confused I get..." Xia Xiaoyu said softly.
"Xia Xiaoyu, if I tell you, you mustn't be scared..."
Lin Xi stammered.
"What did you see?"
Regardless of whether Lin Xi had seen her or not, Xia Xiaoyu shook her head in response.
"Someone...? I saw someone come into our dormitory?"
