In an instant, Xia Xiaoyu felt a slight chill wash over her body. She vaguely sensed that she had overlooked something crucial.
Weakly tapping her head, Xia Xiaoyu turned to the side, trying not to think about it and instead finding a more comfortable position.
As she turned, her gaze unconsciously fell upon the portrait hanging on the wall.
The woman in the portrait remained serene and beautiful, elegant and refined; even every inch of her skin seemed as if it had been meticulously crafted by divine hands.
Xia Xiaoyu's eyes focused on the woman's eyes in the portrait, which appeared vivid and lively, resembling a clear river that flowed with vibrant life.
It was hard to imagine that such a portrait could be created by an artist; even if it were a replica, its value would undoubtedly be significant.
At that moment, as Xia Xiaoyu gazed into the woman's eyes, they seemed to possess a magical power that began to draw in her gaze, making it impossible for her to look away.
"Ah..."
Xia Xiaoyu exclaimed suddenly, jolting awake and staring at the portrait with lingering fear.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing..."
Chen Mumu, who had been reading nearby, was startled by the sudden shout and impatiently said to Xia Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiaoyu did not respond to Chen Mumu but instead got out of bed and walked over to the portrait to examine it closely.
"Xiaoyu, are you okay? What's wrong?" Tian Xiaojing noticed something was off with Xia Xiaoyu and, along with the others in the dormitory, turned their attention toward her.
"Is there something wrong with this portrait?" Xia Xiaoyu continued to scrutinize the woman in the painting without turning around, speaking with a slight tremor in her voice.
"What's wrong with the portrait? It's just a beautiful woman in the painting," Liu Feifei glanced at the woman in the portrait and calmly replied.
"No, I saw it!" This time, Xia Xiaoyu turned around and looked at everyone with questioning eyes. "I saw the woman in the painting blink!"
Everyone froze for a moment, then Liu Feifei looked at Xia Xiaoyu and then back at the portrait. Finally, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, Xiaoyu, you're too funny! It's just a painting; how could it possibly blink? Look again; there's nothing there." Liu Feifei chuckled.
Xia Xiaoyu turned around and looked at the Portrait again. It was indeed just as Liu Feifei had said; nothing had changed. It was still the same, only with eyes wide open, as if looking at herself, or perhaps surveying the entire dormitory?
However, when Xia Xiaoyu gazed into the eyes of the woman in the Portrait, she became entranced. At that moment, she clearly saw the woman in the Portrait blinking. Not only that, she even thought she saw her smiling.
But that was just a fleeting moment, and now Xia Xiaoyu thought it seemed impossible!
"Maybe I was just seeing things!" Xia Xiaoyu said softly and timidly before returning to her bed.
The dormitory fell quiet again. No one paid much attention to this little incident. Liu Feifei returned to her bed after chatting with Chen Mumu past eleven o'clock.
With the lights off, the dormitory appeared even more blurred.
Xia Xiaoyu pondered for a long time, strangely not considering the issue of the Portrait.
In the dim dormitory, she could still vaguely make out the outline of the Portrait. The woman in the Portrait might still be keeping her eyes open.
Was she quietly observing everyone in the dormitory?
Time passed quickly, and soon this week came to an end. However, every time Xia Xiaoyu returned to her dormitory and examined the Portrait, she saw no abnormalities.
This weekend was quite dull for Xia Xiaoyu; she mostly ate, slept, and went shopping.
On Thursday of the third week, Xia Xiaoyu remembered her high school classmate Su Ziyu and his engagement to his current girlfriend.
Although they hadn't interacted much, he had been quite generous in the past and had helped her a lot. Since she had his number, she decided to give him a call to check in.
When the call connected, it was answered by a boy with a mischievous tone.
On Saturday, Su Ziyu and Xia Xiaoyu arranged to meet up.
Seeing Su Ziyu after several years felt different; he had become more handsome and a bit more mischievous, sporting a refined smile that made him seem carefree.
Beside him was a petite girl who sweetly linked arms with him. After an introduction, Xia Xiaoyu learned that she was Su Ziyu's girlfriend.
Her name was Mo Han Ying; she was beautiful and graceful, likely a princess from a wealthy family—truly a match for Su Ziyu.
The two people were very sweet together, and Mo Hanying was well aware of the man's weaknesses. She could change her attitude at any moment when Su Ziyu showed a different expression, catching him off guard. There was nothing he could do about it.
Along the way, Xia Xiaoyu wanted to laugh but couldn't. Who could have imagined that Su Ziyu, the notorious playboy from high school, was now completely captivated by a petite and charming girl?
Both of them were infatuated with each other, attracting the attention of many couples as they passed by.
They were both very happy!
By the time they returned home, it was already past eight in the evening. The day spent with Su Ziyu and his girlfriend Mo Hanying flew by quickly. She felt exceptionally joyful inside, as everything seemed to relax.
However, just as Xia Xiaoyu was unwinding and preparing to return to campus with a sunny disposition, a new story pulled her into a mystery.
It made her realize that everything she encountered was not an illusion and had not drifted away; it was right beside her.
Lin Xi's time of death was on the second Wednesday after school started, which was February 21, 2012...
She learned about another story on the weekend of the third week, which was Sunday.
"Everyone must read Chapter Eighty-Seven tomorrow: A Strange Phone Call? Xiao Fan is currently typing. What strange phone call will Xia Xiaoyu hear, and what terrifying event will she get involved in? Stay tuned for tomorrow's reveal!"
