“Xia Xiaoyu, don’t blame me for being nosy. The truth is, what’s done is done, and there’s no need to try to recover anything. Even if you find out the truth, so what?” Cao Youfeng looked at Xia Xiaoyu with affection. She understood that Xia Xiaoyu's parents were not home, and she lived alone, having not been exposed to much since childhood.
Actually, she was quite pitiful.
“But this is too selfish. I clearly know there are doubts; why shouldn’t I investigate? Moreover, my classmates have died; they are all innocent. Why did this have to happen to them? By doing this, at least I can give them some justice.”
Hearing Xia Xiaoyu speak so sternly, Cao Youfeng didn’t know how to persuade her. She could only force a smile and say to Xia Xiaoyu, “Xia Xiaoyu, stop thinking about it. You must be exhausted these days. Just get a good night’s sleep, and I promise you’ll wake up tomorrow morning forgetting all your worries!”
“San Feng, stop treating me like a child. I’m already twenty years old; I have the right to do my own things!” Xia Xiaoyu said with a pained expression.
“What do you mean by ‘your own things’? Are you saying that investigating this matter is your own business? Xia Xiaoyu, can’t you listen to my advice? Fine, you want to investigate, but do you even know where to start?”
Xia Xiaoyu shook her head.
“Do you know what this matter is actually connected to?”
Xia Xiaoyu still shook her head.
“Then do you know what possible implications your investigation might have?”
Xia Xiaoyu continued to shake her head!
“Xia Xiaoyu, don't be naive. Even if your analysis makes sense, this matter is beyond our reach. If something were to happen to you…” Cao Youfeng sighed sadly, “If anything were to happen to you, how would I explain it to your mother? Just listen to my advice and don’t get too involved. If you really feel guilty, just provide all your information to the police and let them handle it!”
“I know you mean well, but the situation is more serious than you think. I've encountered many strange things at University. Really, I'm very scared. I want to escape, but do you know? Even if I don’t come out, what difference does it make? If it’s not a person, they will definitely find me. The others in our dorm haven’t seen anything; it’s just me and that deceased classmate who have encountered these strange occurrences. I don’t know what this means, but if I don’t investigate this matter, I will be afraid for the rest of my life. Plus, I want to give her some justice…” Xia Xiaoyu looked firmly at Cao Youfeng and continued, “Besides, this matter won’t be as simple as you think. Strange things have been happening for several weeks in a row; do you think this will just disappear? No way! Since these events have occurred for several weeks, I believe they will continue to happen. No matter what, we must do our best to find a way to stop it. They are innocent! Do you understand what I mean?”
After listening to Xia Xiaoyu's account, Cao Youfeng fell completely silent. She was not an unfeeling person, and from Xia Xiaoyu's words, she vaguely understood that the situation was far from simple.
If it was Xia Xiaoyu's heartfelt words that moved her, it was rather the last sentence that struck a chord.
This matter will happen again; no matter what, we must do our best to find a way to stop it?
Indeed, they could not be too selfish or act as if nothing was happening while allowing events to unfold. Since they knew about it, they had to find a way to intervene.
Moreover, Cao Youfeng still had some things she hadn’t shared with herself. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so resolute; however, Cao Youfeng wouldn’t pry into every detail.
“I don’t know how to say this. To be honest, I can’t digest everything you’ve said in such a short time. But what you said makes sense. We know that regardless of whether things are as we imagine them to be, we still need to be prepared and find a way to stop…” Cao Youfeng paused and said, “I don’t know where to start, but tomorrow when we go to University, I will help you gather information. As long as it’s about Lan Ling, I’ll do my best to find out.”
“Thank you…”
Receiving Cao Youfeng's support made Xia Xiaoyu feel much happier.
“Alright, Xia Xiaoyu, don’t overthink things. You’ve probably had enough stress these days; get some rest!” Cao Youfeng glanced out at the darkening night and turned back to Xia Xiaoyu. “I should head back now. If you need anything, remember to call me. And if anything happens, make sure to inform me. Don’t act impulsively!”
“Got it!” Xia Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Cao Youfeng and replied irritably.
"You girl, you're already this grown up and still so willful! No wonder Auntie always says I need to keep an eye on you!"
"Alright, alright, I got it!"
"Well, it's getting late. You should rest early," Cao Youfeng said as she stood up and addressed Xia Xiaoyu.
"San Feng!" Seeing Cao Youfeng turn to leave, Xia Xiaoyu suddenly called out to her.
"Yes, what is it?" Cao Youfeng continued to smile at Xia Xiaoyu.
"Thank you."
Xia Xiaoyu suddenly broke into a smile.
"Silly girl!"
Cao Youfeng couldn't help but smile back.
