"What time was it?"
Xia Xiaoyu looked at Tang Jiaying with confusion.
"It was just now when I came upstairs. I thought it was your friend," Tang Jiaying said, looking even more puzzled at Xia Xiaoyu, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of surprise. Because just a moment ago, Xia Xiaoyu had been in the dormitory.
"Are you sure you weren't seeing things, or maybe it was another girl from a different dorm?"
Xia Xiaoyu's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she had discovered something new.
Because since she returned to the dormitory, she had been alone; there was no one else around!
"I definitely saw it clearly!" Tang Jiaying said, her eyes darting around, glancing out the window at the dimming night.
The sky appeared hazy, and since she returned, it had been somewhat unclear. At this moment, Tang Jiaying's tone became uncertain; despite her good eyesight, it was already quite dark. The outside world looked a bit blurred, and since they were on the Fifth Floor, perhaps she had just misseen someone from another dorm!
"But I've been the only one in the dorm; there’s no one else! How could a woman have gone out from here?" Xia Xiaoyu also looked at Tang Jiaying with confusion, finding it hard to understand what she was saying.
"Well, it's hard to say. Maybe I just misjudged it. Don't think too much about it, Sister Xia Xiaoyu!"
If Xia Xiaoyu was alone in the dormitory, then Tang Jiaying was even more certain that she must have seen wrong.
"Okay!"
Xia Xiaoyu had a smile on her face, but her hands resting on the bed were trembling uncontrollably.
The strange occurrences she had encountered one after another made her thoughts run far deeper than those of others.
A few days ago, Lin Xi had seen a woman enter the dormitory at night, and now it was very likely that Tang Jiaying had seen a woman leaving the dormitory, who truly had come from there.
But that was terrifying...
Xia Xiaoyu's heart raced; it was because she had been in the dormitory all along that she felt so horrified—she simply didn’t know.
Was there really another "person" in the dormitory at the beginning?
"Xia Xiaoyu, why does your face look so pale?" Tang Jiaying asked in surprise as she looked at Xia Xiaoyu's ashen complexion.
"Nothing, nothing at all," Xia Xiaoyu forced a smile.
The Quartz Clock on the wall ticked away, and after it struck eight o'clock, the others in the dormitory began to return one after another.
Lin Xi looked quite well today, seemingly in a good mood. Upon seeing Xia Xiaoyu, she even took the initiative to greet her warmly.
In the dormitory, compared to others, Lin Xi and Xia Xiaoyu had a good relationship. Aside from their quarrels with Liu Feifei, they still maintained a playful rivalry.
"Xiao Xi is back!"
The quirky Tang Jiaying immediately spoke up as soon as Lin Xi walked in.
"Hehe, yes, yes, Jiaying!"
With a bright smile, Lin Xi happily entered the dormitory.
"What's got you so cheerful?"
Xia Xiaoyu looked at Lin Xi with some confusion.
"Hmph, it's a secret!"
Lin Xi smiled mysteriously. Then she took out her laptop and quickly started typing.
"Sure enough, they're online!"
Lin Xi said contentedly as she logged into QQ and saw that the username Night's Sorrow was online, indicated by the colorful avatar.
"Hey, are you there?"
Lin Xi sent the message.
After a while, a sound from QQ indicated that Night's Sorrow's penguin avatar was bouncing, clearly signaling a reply.
Lin Xi happily opened the message and, after reading it, began typing rapidly in response.
"Oh, I thought something serious was happening to make my Xiao Xi so happy. Turns out she has a boyfriend—how sweet!" Lin Xi said with a smile, which piqued Xia Xiaoyu's curiosity. Taking advantage of Lin Xi's excitement, she leaned over to peek at the conversation on the screen.
"Xia Xiaoyu sis, stop it!"
A blush appeared on Lin Xi's cheeks. As it was her first love, her mind was filled with beautiful fantasies.
"Ah, no wonder!"
Xia Xiaoyu teased Lin Xi playfully, adding a touch of charm to the conversation.
"Xiao Xi sis, are you in an online relationship? Let me tell you, 90% of online relationships are not trustworthy. Men are the most unreliable! Don't let their deceitful appearances fool you. It's better to believe in ghosts than in what men say. Never let them know your true feelings; every man is not to be trusted. Hmph!"
Tang Jiaying, lying on the upper bunk and originally reading an e-book on her phone, couldn't help but turn her head toward Lin Xi after hearing Xia Xiaoyu's words.
