Tang Ning had a dream.
He dreamed of Mo Yunchu.
Mo Yunchu's body was built into the cold wall he was leaning against. Mo Yunchu's handsome face was completely bloodless, like a work of art carved out of plaster, perfect and impeccable.
The tip of Tang Ning's nose touched the tip of Mo Yunchu's nose, which was cold, without any temperature or breath. Their lips were very close, as if they were about to kiss in the next second.
But Mo Yunchu didn't kiss him.
Tang Ning stared blankly at Mo Yunchu in front of him, and saw that thick eyelashes were lifted, revealing a pair of narrow and deep phoenix eyes. Those phoenix eyes were also cold, and all the tenderness and affection seemed to be taken away, making Tang Ning shiver all over.
He heard Mo Yunchu's cold questioning, asking him why he lay with another man and why he betrayed him.
In front of him was the ice-cold Mo Yunchu, and behind him was the frighteningly hot Qi Yun.
No.
No.
Tangning wanted to argue, but the rich fragrance overwhelmed his mouth and nose. It was as if countless vines stretched out in the dark, entwined his limbs, penetrated his flesh, and bloomed fragrant flowers around his ribs.
No
It's obviously you who don't want me... It's obviously you who abandoned me!
He wanted to accuse, but he couldn't utter a word. Continuous flowers bloomed from his mouth, and each one was trembling.
“Ahhh—”
A sharp scream broke the silence of the night, waking Tang Ning suddenly from his dream.
Tang Ning's mind was still in a mess, but his body instinctively pricked up his ears and listened attentively to possible sounds in the corridor.
Then he heard a shrill, thin laugh, like fingernails scratching across a blackboard.
It was soft at first, with a strange tone.
Then, as if he couldn't contain his excitement, his laughter became louder and sharper than the last. Echoes could be heard overlapping in the corridor, and the strange voice emitted a trembling laugh!
The sound of something heavy being dragged could be heard in the corridor. Even though Tangning couldn't see anything, his mind seemed to picture something walking and laughing, laughing so hard that it was bent backwards and forwards, perhaps to the point where its waist was about to break, and its neck was also broken, and its damaged vocal cords were making a stuttering laugh.
what happened
Tang Ning's entire body felt numb, and his entire scalp felt as if it had been scratched by the laughter. It was not comfortable to lie sideways for too long, especially while lying on the stiff bed.
But at this moment he didn't dare to move at all.
Fear seemed to have transformed into aphids and spiders that crawled all over the bed. Tang Ning's exposed skin was spotted with red, perhaps because of the rough sheets or the extreme fear.
"Students, are you asleep?" the voice asked softly.
No one responded.
The distant voice suddenly came closer, so close that it seemed to be sticking to the crack of the dormitory door, accusing maliciously: "So it was you who didn't sleep~"
"Bad boy."
Tang Ning covered his mouth, his whole body tensed, his mind went blank. He didn't know how much time had passed before the creepy sound of heavy objects being dragged could be heard again in the silent corridor. The sound of friction faded away little by little until it disappeared completely.
It seems like he really left.
But Tang Ning still didn't dare to move for a long time.
He might be going crazy. Even though it was silent at the moment, he felt that a voice would come out in the next second and ask him if he was asleep.
An indistinct silhouette slowly approached in the darkness, and his thin lips came close to Tangning's ear. He spoke softly with an indescribable tone, "Can't sleep after having a nightmare?"
Tang Ning's entire body was shocked, and for a moment she almost didn't recognize that it was Qi Yun's voice.
"You've been crying."
The warm breath sprayed on the snow-white earlobe, which suddenly turned slightly red.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, then he put his hand on his face and felt something wet. Only then did he realize that his face was covered in tears.
Tangning carefully turned around and faced Qi Yun, wanting to ask him if he had cried out loud just now.
After all, it was so dark at night, and Qi Yun would only notice if he cried out loud, right
And now Qi Yun suddenly spoke, does it mean that the monster has left and they can talk freely
Because of the darkness, Tangning could only see a little bit of the deep light in his eyes. Facing the darkness that enveloped everything, he whispered softly, "It's not a nightmare."
There were still traces of tears on that little face.
His eyes were hazy and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He frowned in confusion and grievance, and his voice was so low that it was almost a whisper: "It's not a beautiful dream either."
It’s Mo Yunchu.
That's all.
Tang Ning suddenly felt very tired, so tired that he didn't want to mention anything anymore. He slowly closed his eyes and lay side by side with Qi Yun on the narrow wooden board. It was as narrow as a coffin, so narrow that Tang Ning had the illusion that he was sleeping with a corpse. But how could there be such a hot corpse
The corpse should be as cold as Mo Yunchu in the dream.
Instead of being as lively as Qi Yun.
The aroma evaporated by the hot air lingered at Tang Ning's nose. His tired body gradually relaxed and he fell asleep again.
In the darkness, Qi Yun leaned sideways, quietly staring at the sleeping Tang Ning, his handsome face slowly revealing a desire so frank and strong that it was frightening.
After a while, the voice that was cold and sharp in the daytime lowered to the extreme, revealing a dangerous signal that made people's scalps tingle, "Who is Mo Yunchu?"
Tang Ning frowned in his sleep, his eyeballs moving slightly under his thin eyelids. He didn't know what he was dreaming about, and he opened his mouth and let out a faint cry.
Qi Yun’s eyes became increasingly cold and deep.
Tang Ning, who was completely unaware, sobbed softly and stretched out his hand as if to grab something. Under Qi Yun's gaze, he tremblingly grabbed the other's arm.
The crying suddenly stopped.
Tang Ning buried her face in Qi Yun's arms in a daze, unconsciously wiping her tears on Qi Yun's spotless clothes. The wetness seemed to penetrate into Qi Yun's heart.
A warm breath surrounded Tang Ning. Tang Ning skillfully adjusted herself to the most comfortable position in Qi Yun's arms, leaning against his chest. His sleeping face was innocent and clean. When his brows were relaxed, the corners of his lips were naturally slightly raised, making him look like an angel who had burst into laughter.
Even the devil would be tempted by it.
The next morning, the dormitory alarm clock woke Tang Ning up.
Tang Ning opened her eyes and found that Qi Yun was not by the bed and the dormitory was empty.
Tang Ning didn't expect that he slept so soundly that he didn't even notice everyone had left.
School rules do not allow lateness, and dormitories must be cleaned, otherwise the life teacher will deduct points. Tang Ning read this information from the document in the group last night. He quickly folded the quilt and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Because this body is very delicate, not only is it sensitive to pain, but it also has high requirements for temperature. Cold water will freeze the skin red, so Tang Ning stood in front of the sink and waited for the faucet to run warm water.
But I don’t know if there was no hot water in the morning, or if there was simply something wrong with the water heater in his dormitory, and it didn’t work after a long time.
The sound of running water made Tang Ning feel a little irritated.
Forget it, cold water is cold water. Just wet the towel and wipe it casually.
Tang Ning took a deep breath and splashed cold water on his face. He looked at himself in the mirror with slightly tired eyes. He had looked very bad recently. His face was so bad that it was completely white without any blood color. Even his lips were blue.
This seems really depressing.
Tangning tried hard to force a smile at herself in the mirror.
The self in the mirror also looked over and smiled.
Tang Ning frowned. He inexplicably felt something was wrong. Tang Ning in the mirror also frowned at him.
What exactly is wrong
The water droplets condensed on the eyelashes fell in front of his eyes, splashing on the water surface and creating ripples. Tang Ning blinked, he could feel the tiny water droplets flowing on his face at this moment.
Tang Ning looked at herself in the mirror.
Then he suddenly realized that there was not a single drop of water on his face in the mirror.
A person looks in the mirror and finds that the person in the mirror is different from his real self.
This is a more effective way to wake up than taking a cold shower.
Tangning tried his best to maintain his composure.
He pretended that he hadn't noticed anything, and tried to turn around naturally, step by step, away from the sink. At the moment when he was about to walk out of the bathroom, he quietly looked back again.
I saw nothing, the mirror was empty.
Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and quickly closed the door.
The moment the door closed, Tangning suddenly realized something: "Why is there nothing in the mirror when I look back?"
In the deserted dormitory, Tang Ning's hair stood on end and his whole body felt cold. His legs almost gave way and he was completely enveloped in a huge fear.
Mirror, the thing in the mirror
Is that thing the monster mentioned in the rules?!
He and the monster looked at each other.
What should I do? What should I do?!
Tang Ning wanted to hit his head with his fists, hating his stupid brain for not being able to come up with a solution. He also hated his body for being so frightened that he had no strength at all and was so limp that he trembled even when walking.
No! He has to get out! He has to get out quickly!
Tangning rushed to the door, quickly pressed the door handle, and pulled it inside.
The door did not move.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and pulled hard with both hands, but the door remained motionless. It seemed that there was a force pushing outwards, forming a stalemate with Tang Ning's strength.
As if he had sensed something, Tangning slowly raised his head.
Through the small glass window on the door, he met an eye.
There was something lying on the door as well.
There was only a door panel between him and Tang Ning.
Tang Ning was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the eyes that she took several steps back and almost screamed!
As the peeping was exposed, the person outside the door raised his head, revealing a strange face. Then the second and third faces rushed to the small window, their noses pressed against the glass, and their facial features were squeezed to the point of being almost deformed. But even so, they still looked at Tang Ning greedily, hungrily, and excitedly.
Tangning opened his mouth in horror.
“Ahhhh!!!”
Amid his screams of collapse, those distorted faces revealed the same grotesque smile as Song Linsu's.
Aphids crawling all over the roses.
Birds died of illness in cages.
A pleasant ringtone was interspersed in the high-pitched wail, and the two movements sounded at the same time. The mobile phone in the pocket vibrated along with the delicate Adam's apple, and the name of the caller on the lit screen was "Qi Yun".
