<p>9 – Haunted</p>
<p>Tuesday isn’t anything special; it’s just three days until the holiday.</p>
<p>Today, Suyun also got up early and left 40 minutes ahead of her roommate, who was still asleep when she walked out.</p>
<p>At 7 a.m., Suyun was holding an umbrella alone. The cafeteria was still quite empty and quiet, so she didn’t have to stand in line and quickly bought two hot buns to hold in her hands.</p>
<p>She knew it wouldn’t help, but they were warm, and eating them felt okay.</p>
<p>The meat buns at their school were relatively large, and as Suyun held them, some not-so-good images suddenly popped into her head.</p>
<p>She had never had such thoughts before, but today…</p>
<p>Suyun started to wonder why.</p>
<p>Yesterday, she woke up on her soft big bed, and Qin Xue was wearing just a thin nightgown, completely different from her usual thick clothes outside.</p>
<p>Although Suyun had long since given up on her dreams and didn’t want to chase anything anymore, such images appearing before her were still deeply memorable.</p>
<p>Just like the meat buns in her hands right now.</p>
<p>“…”</p>
<p>She felt a bit terrible.</p>
<p>Then Suyun sat at the table, venting her feelings as she devoured those two buns rapidly, afraid she might think too much again.</p>
<p>……</p>
<p>Tuesday’s classes only had lessons in the morning, consisting of two computer courses.</p>
<p>In the first class, C language, after half an hour of lecture, the teacher suddenly asked them to type code for a check later.</p>
<p>Suyun sat in the second-to-last row next to the window.</p>
<p>She was sitting there to coast through the class, naturally not paying attention, but as usual, she looked at her roommate’s code next to her and typed along to manage.</p>
<p>“Suyun, don’t you know how to do it?” Liu Fei noticed her and turned to look at her.</p>
<p>“I don’t know; I wasn’t listening,” Suyun said calmly.</p>
<p>Clearly, she understood nothing, but didn’t seem as nervous as everyone else.</p>
<p>“Today’s learning is really simple.”</p>
<p>“I’ll tell you…” Liu Fei’s attitude was much better than Suyun’s. He immediately put his keyboard down, disregarding his code that was at the final stage.</p>
<p>He pointed at Suyun’s screen, explaining each line of code and the requirements of the assignment.</p>
<p>Even the code Suyun hadn’t had time to copy, Liu Fei directly took her keyboard to type it himself.</p>
<p>“Thank you.” Suyun stared blankly at the screen filled with code.</p>
<p>When did her roommate become so kind?</p>
<p>“No need, it’s very simple anyway.” Liu Fei felt inexplicably happier after hearing her thanks.</p>
<p>Yesterday, he had almost run out of hot water in the shower because Suyun took too long, so logically he should dislike her more and intensify their conflict.</p>
<p>But for some reason, ever since Liu Fei had that illusion that Suyun had gotten thinner, he had been paying attention to her, often stealing glances at her in the dorm.</p>
<p>Just like now, seeing that she couldn’t do it, he instinctively wanted to teach her.</p>
<p>Liu Fei thought about this and suddenly shivered, imagining a phrase in his mind.</p>
<p>“Let me show you something nice.”</p>
<p>“Don’t, Brother Jie.”</p>
<p>He wore a bitter expression.</p>
<p>He wouldn’t become a boy’s love interest, would he?</p>
<p>Suyun, of course, had no idea about Liu Fei’s struggles; she was just grateful for his help, which got her through the check.</p>
<p>When class was over, Suyun picked up her pre-packed backpack, thinking about getting to the next classroom early to grab a good seat.</p>
<p>“Hmm…” Just as she was leaving the classroom, she accidentally bumped shoulders with someone trying to enter.</p>
<p>The person was a male who looked about 1.8 meters tall, not exactly fat but not skinny either; he just seemed very solid, like he could knock someone out with a punch.</p>
<p>Yet, despite this, it was actually the strong man who took a step back when they bumped.</p>
<p>“Sorry.” Suyun quickly said a word and hurried away, thinking it wasn’t a big deal.</p>
<p>The man stood there for a moment before continuing into the classroom.</p>
<p>“Tingting.” He called out loudly, disregarding how many people were still in the class or whether the teacher was present.</p>
<p>The people in the class threw him odd glances, thinking he was a boy from another class.</p>
<p>But only Zhang De-yi knew who this was.</p>
<p>Zhang De-yi had applied to join the Student Council at the beginning of the semester, wanting to enjoy his youth.</p>
<p>Due to his enthusiastic and sincere speech, he successfully passed and learned about the president of the council, who looked like and what his name was.</p>
<p>Shi Lezhi, the Student Council President.</p>
<p>Thinking of yesterday when his roommate said Chen Tingting had become the top “goddess” of the freshmen, Zhang De-yi felt veins popping on his arm, but he quickly calmed down.</p>
<p>…..</p>
<p>The last class of the morning passed quickly; the teacher hadn’t asked questions or assigned homework, just kept talking.</p>
<p>Suyun didn’t know what was wrong; she suddenly felt like wanting to listen attentively.</p>
<p>She tried, and succeeded, staying awake for the entire two classes without even a minute of drowsiness.</p>
<p>This was her gift; as long as she wanted to listen, she would never get distracted by other thoughts and wouldn’t feel tired.</p>
<p>Because of this, Suyun had topped her grade for two consecutive years in high school; back then, she even felt she might be the miracle of this obscure school.</p>
<p>“…” After class, others left one after another, while Suyun organized her class notes.</p>
<p>After five minutes, the summary was</p>
<p>Completely incomprehensible.</p>
<p>The codes composed of a to z made sense individually, but she couldn’t understand them when combined.</p>
<p>Not that she could say she didn’t understand at all; she just felt half-knowledgeable after the two classes. Some might consider that as having understood.</p>
<p>But she knew this situation actually meant she didn’t understand; she wouldn’t be able to write it if the question changed slightly.</p>
<p>Sigh, studying isn’t easy at all.</p>
<p>Suyun slowly stood up in the empty classroom, packed her bag, and walked out.</p>
<p>At noon, she felt a bit uninterested in eating.</p>
<p>Because Suyun had eaten quite a lot last night, and apart from blood, eating anything else would just be a waste of money and time.</p>
<p>If she was really hungry, it was fine to buy something to fill her stomach, but it would just be like drinking water; she would still be hungry again after a while.</p>
<p>Suyun returned to the dormitory, where she found no one was back yet.</p>
<p>(Qin Xue: Remember to come back in the afternoon, don’t forget)</p>
<p>(There’s something else going on today)</p>
<p>Opening her phone, she saw a new task.</p>
<p>Something else?</p>
<p>Wiping windows? Cleaning the restroom or moving things?</p>
<p>She was capable of all of that.</p>
<p>Suyun nonchalantly thought, finding it quite simple.</p>
<p>(I: Okay, at your service, Xuejie)</p>
<p>…..</p>
<p>“Did you know? The classroom we had calculus in yesterday seems to be haunted; someone heard a girl screaming when passing by at night.” The first roommate to return was Liu Fei, who had packed takeaway from the cafeteria.</p>
<p>He was astonished as he scrolled through the layered chat logs.</p>
<p>Hearing this, Suyun instantly sat up straight.</p>
<p>In the chat logs Liu Fei was looking at, there were photos taken downstairs.</p>
<p>In the pictures, the windows of the second-floor calculus classroom had a faint red glow, looking very eerie.</p>
<p>If it were just a photo, Liu Fei would definitely not believe it; it could be edited, but there was also a video, and in the video, the girl’s screams were clearly audible.</p>
<p>“Did you notice anything while you were sleeping in class yesterday?” Liu Fei asked Suyun with curiosity and fear in his voice. He felt his legs shaking and couldn’t eat anymore.</p>
<p>The place where he had class turned out to be haunted.</p>
<p>“I don’t know; you woke me up, and then I left,” Suyun forced herself to calm down.</p>
<p>She hadn’t expected the matter to escalate so much.</p>
<p>But whether she really didn’t know or not, after biting someone, her memory had gone blank; she woke up at Qin Xue’s place.</p>
<p>If this were to be discovered…</p>
<p>Taken for experiments… uh.</p>
<p>Suyun’s face stiffened.</p>
<p>“Oh.” Liu Fei nodded, not daring to continue looking at the chat logs. He turned and started scrolling through videos of beautiful women to calm himself down and continue eating.</p>
<p>Tuesday isn’t anything special; it’s just three days until the holiday.</p>
