In the following competitions, I had no further interactions with Chu Fan, and he didn't reach out to me either. It was just like that dream. Of course, it could also be because I took sleeping pills every night, making me oblivious to everything.
Chu Fan became a rising star, achieving victory after victory and leaving as the sole object of admiration for countless girls.
"Hey, have you heard? Chu Fan is transferring to our school."
A week later, as soon as I entered the classroom, I overheard this conversation. For some reason, my eyelids twitched, and I felt that it wasn't good news.
"Oh my gosh, is that true? Did I hear that right?"
"OMG, is Chu Fan really coming? My heart can hardly take it."
"That's great! Is this news reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable! First, I heard it from the head teacher, and I even saw him. Second, Li Li has been bragging outside about how her boyfriend is coming to this school for her and that they will get married right after graduation."
"Pfft, I don't believe it. It sounds like she's the one chasing after him."
"Even if she is chasing him, he has to be interested in her first! Does she have that kind of charm?"
"I think Chu Fan is coming for you," Lin You whispered to me after I sat down. She hadn't participated in the discussion before. "Last time he went all that way to save you! So, have you two been in touch since then?"
I shook my head earnestly, raising both hands in a vow, "I have nothing with Chu Fan."
"Ah—Chu Fan is here! He, he actually came to attend this class!"
I looked up and indeed saw Chu Fan walking in with Li Li. He stood at the door, casually scanning the classroom with a hint of nonchalant laziness.
For some reason, at that moment, I felt a chill run down my spine, sensing a light laugh from his face that clearly bore no smile.
"Fan, do you want to sit here?" Seeing Chu Fan stop beside me, Li Li kindly interpreted it and smiled at me. "Gu Anxin, could you please move to the side? My Fan wants to sit here."
"If he wants to sit, should we just let him? What kind of logic is that? Why don’t you let him sit on your lap during class!" Lin You pointed at Li Li angrily, scolding her for being shameless, as if any man would lie down under her.
Li Li's face turned crimson from the indirect insult. She stomped her foot and pouted at Chu Fan, "Fan, look how she's bullying me."
Chu Fan's dark eyes were fixed on me without blinking, deep and chilling, carrying a hint of amusement. Though he didn’t speak, his voice seemed to penetrate my eardrums, "Don’t take medicine before sleeping tonight; unresponsive movements are quite unpleasant."
I jumped up from my seat in shock, staring wide-eyed at Chu Fan as he casually walked towards the back with his hands in his pockets.
"Fan, you just got out of the hospital; your health is important. Don’t walk so fast," Li Li called out and hurried after him.
Once they walked away, Lin You grabbed my hand and asked, "Still saying you two have nothing? I saw that look clearly just now. But I heard Chu Fan was in a car accident and in the hospital; how did he recover so quickly?"
I plopped back down onto my seat, feeling cold all over. I closed my eyes for a long moment before finally opening them again and said to Lin You word by word, "Because he is that ghost. I feel like if Chu Fan didn’t die and get his body occupied, then he must have been possessed while alive."
Lin You's mouth dropped open in disbelief as he looked at me. I weakly nodded in response.
Since I had no classes in the afternoon, I rushed home as soon as the lesson ended. I had no idea what that ghost wanted with Chu Fan's body; all I knew was that even coming into contact with Chu Fan would lead to big trouble. It was best to leave as soon as possible and avoid seeing anything.
As soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I received a call from the delivery service. The Face Mask I ordered online had arrived.
It suddenly dawned on me that a few days ago, in an effort to keep Lin You company while staying up late, I had placed an order for a Face Mask when I was utterly exhausted. I vaguely remembered that the website mentioned this type of Face Mask could be reused, which piqued my curiosity.
On my way home, as I passed by a street vendor, a fortune teller suddenly called out to me. "Miss, I see darkness in your fate; there is surely a crisis ahead. If you trust me, I can help you through this difficult time. Remember, do not touch anything related to water."
This fortune teller had been setting up shop here for a while but had never made a sale. At least every time I passed by, he seemed to have no customers. Typically, such services are quite popular, so his lack of business suggested he was a fraud.
Moreover, after everything that had happened to me recently, he had never warned me before. Given his sudden proclamation now, I naturally didn't believe him and quickened my pace to collect my package from the security guard before heading upstairs.
Noticing that it was still early, I decided to wash my face and try out the Face Mask.
