The little crybaby in the group, the young master is a softie

"No." Jian Yi blurted out. She also wanted to escape, but the "her" in the mirror, the red shadow last night, Bai Yu's milk candy, his brother's phone call... These things were like vines sticking to her body, and she couldn't get rid of them no matter where she ran. What's more, she vaguely felt that the more afraid she was, the more excited those things would be.

Song Ran was about to say something when the dormitory door was pushed open and Zhou Ren walked in. She was holding a thread-bound book in her hand, the cover was yellowed and damaged, the title could not be seen clearly, and there were a few old newspaper clippings between the pages.

Seeing Jian Yi, her eyes paused, and her gaze swept across the bathroom door, then fell back on her face: "The mirror didn't bother you again?"

Before she could speak, Song Ran spoke first: "Don't scare her, Jian Yi just didn't sleep well..."

"Scare her?" Zhou Ren chuckled, flipped open the thread-bound book, and ran his fingertips across the yellowed pages: "In 1997, when this building was still called 'Qingwu Building', there was a girl from the Art Department who always said that there was another self in the mirror.

Later one morning, she was found dead in the bathroom, holding half a mirror in her hand, her throat cut by a sharp weapon, and her blood all over the mirror fragments. "She raised her eyes, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, "The forensic doctor said that the wound was cut by herself."

Song Ran was so scared that he stuttered: "You, why are you saying this..."

"Let her know that some things are not illusions." Zhou Ren closed the book and stared at Jian Yi. "The night before that girl died, she also felt that the mirror was looking at her."

Jian Yi's breathing suddenly stopped: "What on earth do you want to do? You know so much, who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am." Zhou Ren stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dense camphor tree downstairs. "What's important is that if you continue like this, you will soon become the next 'her'."

Song Ran immediately got angry, pointing at her and yelling: "How dare you say that! If you hadn't told us about this matter in the beginning, causing Jian Yi to be in a trance, would this have happened? I think you are the one who caused this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a commotion in the corridor, mixed with the screams of girls. Jian Yi and Song Ran looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

Song Ran bravely opened the door, stuck his head out to take a look, then suddenly pulled back, closed the door, slid down to the ground with his back against the door, his lips trembling: "Blood, so much blood..."

"What blood?" Jian Yi held her and asked.

"Someone wrote something in blood on the bulletin board at the end of the upstairs corridor..." Song Ran's voice was trembling, "It said... 'Give me back my child'..."

Jian Yi's scalp went numb. It was this sentence again. What the red shadow screamed in her ear last night, what "she" questioned in the mirror, now appeared on the bulletin board in the corridor, written in blood.

Zhou Ren turned around, his face showing no surprise, but a hint of barely perceptible excitement: "Here I am, let's go take a look!"

"No!" Song Ran screamed, "Are you sick? Anyone with eyes can see something is wrong here, and you still want to go and take a look? Let's call the police!"

"It's useless," Zhou Ren sneered, "The police can catch bad guys, but they can't catch ghosts."

"You are not allowed to go," Song Ran locked the dormitory door. "You keep talking nonsense all day long, afraid that you will get into trouble!"

Zhou Ren shrugged: "Okay then." She took out a small mahogany card from the drawer and handed it to Jian Yi: "Put it on."

Jian Yi hesitated for a moment, then took it. The mahogany card was warm to the touch, and had strange patterns engraved on it, like some kind of spell.

"what is this?"

"My grandfather carved it. It can block some things." Zhou Ren walked to her desk and turned on the desk lamp. The light was dim, and her face was half bright and half dark. "The boy's name is Bai Yu, right? You'd better not talk to him anymore. The yin energy in him is too strong and too pure. Ordinary dirty things dare not approach him, but it can attract more powerful ones."

"More powerful?"

"For example, the one who was looking for her child, she was filled with resentment and only dared to come out at night. However, the yin energy on Bai Yu was like a lamp, which led her out into the daytime."

It was late at night and the dormitory was dead silent.

The three of them had helped Jian Yi move the bed to the lower bunk, and Song Ran forced himself to accompany her. Zhou Ren did not return to the upper bunk. She walked back and forth with a pair of copper scissors in her hand, scanning every corner of the dormitory with a vigilant look.

Suddenly she stopped and sniffed the air again, frowning, "The yin energy is getting stronger," she looked up at the door, "That guy must have been nearby during the day!"

"Who? Bai Yu?"

"Who else but him?" Zhou Ren said with disgust, "He's like a Yin Qi generator. Wherever he goes, trouble will happen."

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the dormitory door, knock, knock, knock, with a slow rhythm that was particularly harsh in the silent night.

The three of them held their breath in fear. Song Ran held Jian Yi and dared not make a sound. Zhou Ren clenched the copper scissors and stared at the door with cold eyes.

"Jian Yi." Bai Yu's sweet voice came from outside the door, "Can I come in? I brought you some candy."

Jian Yi's heart beat in his throat. Why was he here? How did he get into the girls' dormitory in the middle of the night?

"Get lost!" Zhou Ren shouted in a low voice, his voice filled with anger, "If you don't leave, I won't be polite!"

There was silence outside the door for a few seconds, and then Bai Yu's aggrieved voice came again: "I have no ill intentions... I just want to give Jian Yi candy. If there are bad guys here, I will beat them..."

"Ignore him!" Zhou Ren said to Jian Yi with sharp eyes, "He just wants to lure that thing out!"

Jian Yi nodded and clenched the peach wood card tightly.

But Song Ran suddenly got up from the bed and straightened his hair: "Hey, Zhou Ren, don't be so fierce. It's not easy for a handsome guy like him to come here in the middle of the night. It will be terrible if he is caught by the dormitory aunt!"

"Stop! Did you just say I was crazy?" Zhou Ren glared at her, "His behavior is too abnormal, there's something wrong with him!"

"What's wrong? Isn't it just that he's a little bit dumber and a little bit more handsome?" Song Ran said as he quickly walked to the door and opened it.

Bai Yu, who was standing outside the door, saw the door open and immediately smiled: "Hello, I'm here to find my Jian Yi."

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Song Ran quickly pulled him in and closed the door. "How did you get in? Don't you know that boys are not allowed to enter the girls' dormitory?"

Bai Yu chuckled twice, walked straight to Jian Yi's bed, and handed the candy in his hand to him: "Look, this is for you." His hair was a little messy, and the broken hair in front of his forehead hung down, covering a little of his eyes, looking aggrieved and pitiful, "You didn't eat the candy during the day, these are sweet, try them."

Jian Yi looked at him, and suddenly a strange sense of familiarity surged in his heart. His eyes, the way he handed the candy, and even the tone of his voice, all seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

She sighed and took a candy from him: "Thank you."

"Hey, you're welcome."

Bai Yu smiled and pointed to her bed: "I'm here to beat the bad guys and sleep with you."

"No." Zhou Ren's face darkened instantly. She pointed at the door and said sternly, "What do you mean? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're stupid. A boy wants to sleep with a girl in the middle of the night. Do you still have any shame? Get out right now!"

Bai Yu was frightened by her and shrank his neck. He dropped two candies in his hand onto the ground, and his eyes instantly turned red: "I, I'm not being a hooligan..." He twisted his fingers and spoke even more quietly, "I can protect Jian Yi. If we sleep together, those bad guys won't dare to come..."

"Bad guy? I think you are the biggest bad guy!" Zhou Ren pressed on step by step, and the copper scissors opened again, with the blades flashing coldly, "Hurry up and leave, or I will call the dormitory manager now!"

Song Ran was anxious watching from the side. She wanted to persuade him but didn't dare. She could only mutter in her heart: He is so handsome, even if we squeeze in, it seems... No, no, Jian Yi is my roommate! She secretly glanced at Jian Yi, but saw that she was staring at Bai Yu in a daze, with no disgust on her face.

Jian Yi was indeed in a daze.

When Bai Yu suggested sleeping together, she didn't feel the slightest bit disgusted. Instead, she felt an odd sense of familiarity, just like when she was a child and watched cartoons on a small bed with her neighbor's friends. It couldn't be more natural.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she was shocked. She had just met him once, so why did she have such a ridiculous feeling?

What frightened her even more was the call from Bai Yu's younger brother. The words that boy said suddenly came into her mind clearly: "If you want to survive, hold on to my brother's thighs tightly."

At that time, I just thought it was an inexplicable threat, but now looking at Bai Yu's clean and ignorant eyes, and feeling the fragrance emanating from his body, a crazy idea emerged.

"You really want to sleep here with me?"
