Ji Mingxia picked up another teacup and compared it, and found that what Yu Ning said was right, he really mistook his teacup for Yu Ning's, and used it to make tea and served it to Yu Ning.
Normally, we live in the dormitory and drink water from the same cup. It is a normal thing.
Ji Mingxia and Zhao Zhuoyue often competed for the same bowl of instant noodles, taking turns to eat.
Apart from anything else, he even shared the underwear he bought with everyone in the dormitory, so drinking a sip of water was no big deal.
But Yu Ning specifically brought it up... that's different.
After all, Yu Ning was not familiar with Ji Mingxia before this, and Yu Ning was not an ordinary boy. Maybe he mind this kind of thing
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia was startled and quickly stood up from his seat: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice... I thought it was yours, I will definitely look carefully next time, sorry, sorry."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the cup from Yu Ning's hand, intending to wash it again, replace it with Yu Ning's own teacup, and then make tea and serve it to Yu Ning.
Unexpectedly, Yu Ning moved his hand away: "It's okay, don't bother, I've already drunk the tea in this cup."
"Ah?" Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning blankly, not understanding what he meant.
"I'll use this first." Yu Ning said.
"Oh." Seeing Yu Ning continue drinking tea, Ji Mingxia sat back in his chair in a daze.
He was holding another teacup in his hand, which originally belonged to Yu Ning.
There were quite a few tea sets in the couple's room, but they were all small teacups for entertaining guests. There were only two large teacups for daily use.
Now Yu Ning is using his cup, and he is holding Yu Ning's cup in his hand, so they will exchange cups from now on
So does Yu Ning mind or not
At this time, Yu Ning held up the teapot and asked, "Would you like some tea?"
"Oh, okay." Ji Mingxia saw that Yu Ning was holding the teapot in his hand and nodded.
Yu Ning poured the freshly brewed tea into Ji Mingxia's teacup, then he held Ji Mingxia's teacup and started drinking it.
Although it is midsummer, the indoor air conditioning is turned on very high.
Coupled with the various secrets in the hotel, just thinking about it makes my spine chill.
The lingering tea fragrance wafts out from the cup, refreshing and calming.
Yu Ning was drinking tea quietly. Ji Mingxia didn't know what to do for a moment, so he followed his example and started drinking from Yu Ning's cup.
As he drank, Ji Mingxia forgot about the previous question.
He didn't like to use his brain to begin with, and in this kind of atmosphere, he sat there lazily.
The afternoon sun shines through the leaves, in small pieces. It's not hot with the air conditioning, but it makes people squint their eyes.
Ji Mingxia drank tea and admired the mountain scenery outside the window from time to time. He looked very comfortable.
I didn't notice that Yu Ning, who was standing beside me, had a smile in his eyes from beginning to end.
The incident of taking the wrong teacup distracted Ji Mingxia's attention and he spent the afternoon leisurely.
It was not until late at night that he and Yu Ning set off for the restaurant in the center of the lake.
The reason why they chose this place was that they originally came here for Li You's blood-red ring, but they encountered so many things and didn't even see Li You's shadow.
The only clue at the moment was provided by Zhao Zhuoyue.
Only on his first night, in a restaurant on the lake, did he meet someone who looked very similar to Li You.
The scenery of the resort is pleasant during the day. There are no pedestrians on the road and it feels quiet.
But at night, the huge resort was empty. Although the street lights were bright, it was still a bit creepy.
The only thing that comforted Ji Mingxia was that he didn't see any people or shadows along the way.
The last time he came out of the dormitory before dawn, before he reached the teaching building, he saw countless ghosts on the road. He was scared to death and almost failed.
This time he had made all the mental preparations, but he didn't expect everything to go much more smoothly than he had imagined, and the two of them arrived near the restaurant easily.
As the restaurant was not open at night, the main entrance was closed.
But taking into account the scenery on the lake, there will occasionally be customers who come to admire the moon at night, so a small door is reserved for customers to enter and exit the corridor on the lake, which is near the box where Ji Mingxia and Zhao Zhuoyue encountered the ghost yesterday.
Next to the small door is a security booth. From a distance, you can vaguely see the security guard.
Considering that Zhao Zhuoyue almost got into trouble last time, ordinary people's involvement at this time might not necessarily provide help, but would add risks. So Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning took advantage of the security guard's inattention, quietly bypassed him, and entered the small door.
Yu Ning was very agile and although he was tall and had long arms and legs, he slipped in in a flash.
Maybe Ji Mingxia was too nervous. When he went in, the hem of his clothes accidentally caught the door handle and he almost hit the glass door.
"Are you okay?" Yu Ning, who was walking in front, heard the slight noise and quickly turned around.
Ji Mingxia quickly glanced at the security guard in the distance. Seeing that no one noticed him, he quickly pulled back his shirt hem and trotted behind Yu Ning: "It's okay."
Yu Ning looked Ji Mingxia up and down, then reached out and straightened his crooked clothes.
In the huge restaurant, only Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were standing.
Lights from afar shone through the glass, refracting countless shadows on the ground.
Yu Ning took Ji Mingxia with him, and as they walked, he whispered, "Do you remember how we got the ring last time at school?"
"Last time?" Ji Mingxia thought for a moment, "I just sat there and didn't move, and you succeeded?"
Yu Ning nodded: "No matter what happens, you have to trust your first instinct. The ghost's first target must be me. Only when I die will it come to you..."
"Then you will definitely not die!" Ji Mingxia said quickly.
Yu Ning prepared a lot of comforting words to ease Ji Mingxia's inner tension and worry, but was suddenly interrupted by Ji Mingxia.
He turned his head and saw Ji Mingxia looking at him. Even in the darkness, his eyes were bright, as if he had firm faith in him.
He pursed his lips and showed a very faint smile: "Well, we will definitely succeed."
After passing the restaurant, we came to the corridor and saw a lake right in front of us.
The wind from the lake brought with it moist water vapor, making the already cold night even cooler.
Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning stood in the cold wind for a while. Just when Ji Mingxia was about to change his position, suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a vague white figure at the side.
Ji Mingxia quickly turned his head and took a closer look, and found that a piece of glass next to him had unknowingly become a mirror through the refraction of light and shadow, reflecting the scene behind Ji Mingxia.
Because there were lakes and similar buildings on both sides and the light was not bright enough at night, at first glance, Ji Mingxia did not notice that there was such a "mirror" next to him. Until a figure suddenly appeared in the mirror, it was an adult woman standing with her back to Ji Mingxia, and Ji Mingxia realized something was wrong.
Late in the night, Ji Mingxia suddenly saw a figure. He felt a little scared, but he couldn't help staring at it.
This figure looked very familiar, Ji Mingxia seemed to have seen it somewhere.
In Quanzhuang Hotel, the only woman who made him feel familiar was Li You.
Is it his turn tonight to witness Li You's appearance
Although it was not the first time that he had experienced a supernatural event, Ji Mingxia was still a little nervous. He quickly stretched out his hand and pulled in the direction of Yu Ning.
He was standing very close to Yu Ning and could definitely touch Yu Ning's clothes if he stretched out his hand. Ji Mingxia stretched out his hand confidently, but unexpectedly, he caught nothing.
Ji Mingxia was stunned and looked around—
He saw that the corridor was empty and he was the only one left!
When did Yu Ning disappear, and why didn't he hear any sound
As soon as Yu Ning disappeared, not only was Ji Mingxia the only one left in the entire restaurant, but on a night like this, he even felt like he was the only one alive in the entire world.
Ji Mingxia felt like he had lost his greatest support and reliance, and he felt unwell all over.
At the same time, the figure in the glass moved slowly.
She seemed to feel a little itchy and began to twist her body inexplicably, but it was not her muscles that were twisting, but her joints.
Although there was silence all around, Ji Mingxia seemed to be able to hear the "cracking" sound of her bones twisting.
In the end, her muscles and bones separated, and her elbows and knees, which were supposed to move backwards, moved in front of her body. However, she still had her back to Ji Mingxia, and her whole body stood there twisted, like a human, but also like an alien insect.
"Why does this look more and more familiar..."
Ji Mingxia felt so miserable that he could not even cry. He was trying hard to find his sixth sense, hoping that he could make the right judgment at the critical moment.
However, that familiar feeling continued to influence Ji Mingxia's thinking. Before confirming the identity of this woman, Ji Mingxia had no idea what decision he should make.
At this moment, the woman's head finally began to twist.
Originally Ji Mingxia thought that her head would also slowly twist, but with a "click" sound, the woman's head suddenly rotated 180° like a ball. In less than a second, it turned around, staring at Ji Mingxia with her eyes.
“I’m going to—”
The moment he saw the face clearly, Ji Mingxia almost let out a distorted scream.
He thought he saw Li You, so he felt familiar with her.
However, after seeing the face of the ghost clearly, Ji Mingxia discovered that this was not Li You, but the ghost of Lin Siyun whom he had met at school!
Lin Siyun's ring had been taken away by Yu Ning, and it had long since disappeared. Why could she still be seen in the Quanzhuang Hotel thousands of miles away? !
Ji Mingxia's heart stopped and he almost wanted to curse.
But his body's reaction was even faster than his mind's.
Before Ji Mingxia could react, the moment he saw Lin Siyun, his body had already run in the opposite direction.
As Ji Mingxia ran hurriedly, the empty box was filled with his messy footsteps, "thump thump" echoing everywhere.
Ji Mingxia lowered his head and ran frantically. He didn't know whether his reaction was correct.
Anyway, Yu Ning told him to trust his first instinct, so he just acted accordingly.
