The evening breeze could dry the clothes that girls wore, and since their clothing was thin and didn't hold much water, it would dry quickly.
So, Tang Jiaying took a wooden bucket and went out with Xia Xiaoyu.
At this moment, it was normal to be hesitant to come out. Anyone in the dormitory would feel the same way because the Old Dormitory was very quiet.
The Old Dormitory had five floors, and above that was the rooftop.
There was originally no moonlight, but now the moon had surprisingly emerged from the dark clouds, casting a cool light.
The weather wasn't particularly cold, but at the height of five stories, the night wind howled, and combined with the silence of the corridor, it made Tang Jiaying and Xia Xiaoyu feel a chill run down their spines.
The Water Room was quiet; however, the two weren't too scared. They filled water in the Water Room and then started washing up.
They weren't that afraid because there were lights, and right at the door, they could see the light from the triangular dormitory projected through the glass.
This made them feel less fearful because even if something happened, they had a way to seek help.
In the middle of it all, there were other dormitory residents also getting water in the Water Room, so it wasn't that terrifying.
"Can you try to wash up quickly?"
Xia Xiaoyu only had a set of clothes that she had just changed into and hadn’t washed, keeping it simple and quickly done. On the other hand, Tang Jiaying was washing her clothes very slowly.
“Hey, wait a minute! Tomorrow I’ll treat you to barbecue, and it’s authentic and really delicious,” Tang Jiaying hurriedly said, seemingly afraid that Xia Xiaoyu would turn and leave.
“Alright, alright, I’ll wait for you…” Xia Xiaoyu replied, feeling speechless.
Tang Jiaying chuckled a few times and continued washing. However, her method of doing laundry was somewhat amusing; perhaps she rarely did it.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a girl living on the Fifth Floor entered the restroom. Seeing someone inside reassured Xia Xiaoyu, knowing that Tang Jiaying wasn’t scared. She stood in the hallway, looking down at the dark and eerie path below.
The Small Grove was obscured, making it hard to see clearly. However, from above, the Cherry Blossom Trees looked somewhat beautiful under the night’s embrace, exuding a bewitching aura.
A strangely haunting beauty…
Even from a distance, Xia Xiaoyu felt as if she were right there, a chill quietly creeping up her spine, piercing straight to her heart…
Not daring to look again, Xia Xiaoyu turned around only to coincidentally spot the staircase leading to the rooftop.
It was dark above, obscuring the details, but Xia Xiaoyu could tell that if she went up, she would get a clearer view since there was moonlight now!
Should she go up?
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Xia Xiaoyu's heart trembled violently. She inexplicably felt the urge to go take a look.
Moreover, she suddenly recalled Su Ran and the scene when she fell from the rooftop. What exactly happened to her on the rooftop at that time?
Even though she was well aware that this was the Girls' Dormitory building, not the old building, Xia Xiaoyu still couldn't help but shift her feet.
She was scared. However, she felt an even stronger curiosity in her heart. She had never been to the rooftop before, and she wondered if it would be safe to go up this time.
Besides, Tang Jiaying was inside...
Xia Xiaoyu glanced back at Tang Jiaying, who was still doing laundry. She looked just the same, which eased Xia Xiaoyu's mind and made her feel a bit bolder...
At that moment, she had only one thought: to go up and take a look. This feeling inside her was intense and could not be extinguished.
Finally, after staying in place for a full five minutes, she walked up the stairs...
