"Where did you buy this Portrait?"
Xia Xiaoyu asked, looking at the mysteriously smiling Tian Xiaojing in surprise.
"Xia Xiaoyu, aren't you surprised? Yes, just like the first time I saw it, it's so beautiful!" Tian Xiaojing replied cheerfully. "We didn't buy it; we found it..."
"Found it?" Xia Xiaoyu looked at Tian Xiaojing with confusion, her expression showing disbelief.
"Really! It was just on the path past Small Grove. If you don't believe me, ask Chen Mumu!" Tian Xiaojing responded. However, seeing the skepticism on Xia Xiaoyu's face, she added, "It might have been dropped by someone who came back before us."
"That's impossible! You came back so late; if it were there, someone else would have picked it up already!" Xia Xiaoyu still questioned.
"Really, maybe it was dropped by the people ahead of us?" Tian Xiaojing said optimistically and quickly continued.
"Um..." Xia Xiaoyu was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.
"Come on, enough talking; it's late!" Chen Mumu, holding her phone and reading a novel, clearly engrossed in an exciting part, interrupted the two.
"I have a suggestion: why don't we hang the Portrait on the wall? It would look so nice!" After a moment of silence, Tian Xiaojing proposed again.
"Sounds good!"
Tang Jiaying also agreed enthusiastically and got up from the bed.
Chen Mumu gritted her teeth as she glared at the several girls who were making a ruckus. She estimated that her anger was burning inside, and she huffed out heavy breaths through her nose. After a moment, a word escaped from between her clenched teeth.
"Damn..."
Xia Xiaoyu was also quite interested as Tang Jiaying and Tian Xiaojing got off the bed, holding up a picture to compare with the wall, looking left and right. After a while, they finally stuck the picture in the center of the dormitory, in the most conspicuous spot.
No matter which corner or bed in the dormitory, one could see the picture at a glance.
"Done."
Tang Jiaying exhaled deeply, looking at the picture stuck next to the window, and clapped her hands.
The dormitory fell silent. Liu Feifei and Chen Mumu lay on one bed reading novels, while Su Ran remained still without any movement.
Zhang Li was on the upper bunk; from the light reflecting off the ceiling, it was clear she was also playing on her phone.
Xia Xiaoyu, Tian Xiaojing, and Tang Jiaying washed their hands in the bathroom before returning to their dormitory and heading back to their respective beds.
Xia Xiaoyu lay on her bed, silent, not playing on her phone or making any movements. In her mind, she unknowingly thought about the woman she had encountered under the red Cherry Blossom tree at the beginning, feeling a bit curious.
Her expression and actions seemed somewhat strange, yet she appeared no different from an ordinary person.
However, now that Xia Xiaoyu thought about it, she felt as if she had forgotten an important detail.
She always felt that the moment she saw that woman, it unintentionally reminded her of something.
Yes, she sensed it was a connection, but she couldn't recall what it was.
Today, not only did she encounter The Woman in White, but Leng Yuchen's actions also left Xia Xiaoyu greatly puzzled.
If someone like Leng Yuchen were purely grateful to her, Xia Xiaoyu wouldn't believe it. It wasn't just because he was a wealthy young man who wouldn't lack for beautiful women; more importantly, there was a hint of something profound hidden in his eyes.
It was just a feeling, yet Xia Xiaoyu could clearly tell that he had ulterior motives regarding her.
If she thought this way, Xia Xiaoyu became entangled in new questions because she found it hard to imagine what Leng Yuchen could possibly see in her.
Or rather, what was it that he valued?
Moreover, what surprised Xia Xiaoyu even more was Cao Bao; he had completely changed.
What could possibly cause such a drastic transformation in his personality?
Now, the indifference and severity that Cao Bao displayed seemed to emanate from his very core. If she hadn't known him for quite some time, Xia Xiaoyu would have thought he was someone else entirely.
But how could he have turned into this?
Was it that she missed something, or had he really changed?
Today, Xia Xiaoyu did not encounter anything strange, but every event she experienced was peculiar in its own way.
However, the most bizarre incident still belonged to Lin Xi.
Indeed, the All Dormitory seemed indifferent to the cause of Lin Xi's death. Whether it was natural causes or something else, she was gone and could not return.
Yet now, as Xia Xiaoyu calmed down, she couldn't help but think about her death, especially when recalling the last time she saw her.
At first, she didn't feel anything was amiss, but when she saw the news report in the city, she couldn't help but ponder their causes of death.
It was also Wednesday; from an outward perspective, everything seemed the same, and they were both students.
Connecting this to last week, when Lin Xi was still alive, she recalled a series of strange events that had occurred.
Why was it that many times, she was the only one who saw these things while others could not?
One could dismiss an event as mere illusion, but linking all these occurrences together made it far more complicated.
What was the reason behind it? Was it coincidence, or was something orchestrating all of this from the shadows?
