Outside, the sky had turned a murky gray, somewhat darkening, but fortunately, as Xia Xiaoyu passed through the small grove, she spotted a few students from the Old Dormitory approaching from a distance, which gave her some confidence. She quickened her pace toward them.
The sky grew darker, and the expansive campus was eerily quiet. The weather was not good; the entire sky was filled with ominous red clouds. There is an old saying in rural areas: "Morning red clouds bring light rain; evening red clouds bring death to frogs."
Although somewhat unreliable, this weather felt oppressive to Xia Xiaoyu, making it hard for her to breathe. She inexplicably felt a heavy weight in her heart, as if she had a premonition that something significant was about to happen.
She felt both irritated and distressed.
The office building was now shrouded in darkness, appearing under the cover of Cherry Blossom trees but failing to provide Xia Xiaoyu with any sense of beauty; instead, it felt somewhat ghostly.
With her head down and heavy footsteps, she stepped onto the stairs. Xia Xiaoyu had lingering fears about the stairs; every time she stepped onto them, she couldn't help but recall the time at the bell tower and when she followed Su Ran in the old building, encountering a series of terrifying and bizarre events.
Although time seemed endless, Xia Xiaoyu understood that it was tight; they needed to uncover all the reasons as soon as possible.
The corridor was quiet, but thankfully, the youthful energy of the school had not yet dissipated. Xia Xiaoyu felt much calmer inside. The homeroom teacher's office was on the third floor. Despite feeling somewhat anxious, she did not encounter anything strange along the way.
Through the window, she saw light shining through the gap in the curtains and sighed with relief; at least this meant that her teacher was in the office.
“Knock knock knock…”
A soft yet heavy knocking sound echoed. After a moment, she heard faint sounds from inside—footsteps on the floor.
"Hello, Teacher..."
When Li Hongmei opened the door, Xia Xiaoyu greeted her warmly.
"Xia Xiaoyu..." Li Hongmei seemed a bit surprised at first, but then asked with a hint of curiosity, "Did you come here for something at this time?"
"Um..."
Xia Xiaoyu found it hard to respond for a moment.
"Oh, look at me. Come in and have a seat..."
Li Hongmei smiled as she led Xia Xiaoyu into the office.
Xia Xiaoyu glanced around the small room. It was a tiny office with a bookshelf, a desk for lesson preparation next to the window, a bed inside, and a computer. It was clear that when Li Hongmei was online, she sat on the bed.
The room was just big enough for one person.
If classes were urgent, Li Hongmei probably stayed here and only went home when she wasn't busy.
"Hehe, this place is too small; you can sit on the bed," Li Hongmei said with a slightly awkward tone as she noticed Xia Xiaoyu looking around the room. Then she added with a smile, "Would you like some water?"
"No, thank you."
Xia Xiaoyu smiled and waved her hand.
"Are you having difficulties with your studies?"
Li Hongmei moved a chair from the teaching desk and asked Xia Xiaoyu.
"No, well, actually..."
Xia Xiaoyu secretly regretted not preparing her lines on the way.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Xia Xiaoyu hesitating to speak, Li Hongmei asked curiously.
