Ziya extended her finger, the vibrant red on her fair fingertips making her dizzy. How wonderful it would be if he were here. Although he had his faults, during all those days together, she had received his meticulous care...
"Hi!"
"You... why didn't you come out earlier? Trying to scare me to death, are you?" Ziya was startled by Qin Nannan suddenly jumping out from the bushes and reproached him in a low voice. Remembering how he had quietly left the building, leaving her to search for him like a headless chicken, an unnamed anger began to rise within her.
"Hey, how could I bear to scare such a beautiful girl to death? Besides, there’s no benefit in scaring you, right?"
"Ugh, I can't be bothered with you. Tomorrow I’ll tell the instructor to assign me a new assistant. With you... hmph!" Ziya said angrily before turning to leave.
"Hey! You can't just sentence someone to death like that! The condemned prisoner still has to express their last wishes, right?" Qin Nannan's handsome face was illuminated by the campus streetlights, highlighting a coldness reminiscent of a specter. His lips maintained their characteristic smile, giving him the appearance of a carefree rich kid.
"I... despise you, seriously despise you..." Ziya felt miserable. In the dormitory, she had a nagging roommate like Sun Meng, and now she had run into this irritating nemesis, Qin Nannan.
"Hey! Don't go..." Qin Nannan took a big step forward and unexpectedly grabbed Ziya's arm, pulling her towards his chest without caring whether she agreed or not.
"You're so annoying... let go of me..." Ziya twisted around, but instead of breaking free from his grip, she found him holding her even tighter.
"Shh! If you quiet down, I'll let you go; otherwise..." One of Qin Nannan's hands twisted Ziya's arm while the other gently pressed against her moist lips.
Ziya was both angry and resentful. She hadn't expected him to become even more arrogant by placing his fingers on her lips. But then she thought that struggling futilely wouldn’t help; it might be better to stay quiet and see what he wanted to say.
"Good girl, isn’t this nice?" Seeing her gradually relax, Qin Nannan whispered softly. His finger pressed against her lips lingered for a moment before finally releasing its hold.
“Phew… you…” Ziya had just wanted to curse, but then he saw two Senior Sisters walking towards him from a distance. He had no choice but to pretend nothing was wrong and looked away in another direction.
Watching the Senior Sisters walk away, Qin Nannan cheerfully said, “Alright, let me tell you what happened to me on the stairs.”
***
As Qin Nannan descended to the Fourteenth Floor, he constantly felt like someone was watching him from behind. This sensation made him glance back repeatedly. Just as he stepped onto the stairs of the Fourteenth Floor, a casual look back revealed a head quickly disappearing on the Fifteenth Floor. His heart raced, and he hurriedly recited the atheistic phrases his grandfather had taught him, quickening his pace while gripping the handrail tightly.
Qin Nannan was delighted to see that he was almost at the first floor. Just then, a loud thud echoed from the Third Floor as if something heavy had fallen. He hesitated at the Second Floor, wanting to see what had dropped, but he was also worried that Ziya might be waiting for him downstairs. After listening intently for a few minutes and hearing nothing, he shook his head and stepped down to the first floor.
As Qin Nannan saw the courtyard of the building right in front of him, he clapped his hands together to shake off the dust from the handrail and prepared to step down the stairs when suddenly he heard a voice crying out, “Help me…”
He rushed up to the Third Floor where the voice came from. Peering from the Second Floor staircase towards the Third Floor, everything seemed normal. However, he still felt as if something lurked around the corner of the stairs. As he cautiously approached, looking around, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from around the corner and tightly gripped his calf. Oh my god… Qin Nannan could honestly say this was one of the most terrifying moments of his life; being grabbed by a ghost on his leg was no small matter!
At that moment, Ziya was extremely tense, captivated by someone’s incident. Forgetting his earlier anger, he anxiously asked, “Quick! What grabbed you?”
