After getting up in the morning, we were all groggy. Maybe because of the jumping incident last night, all the girls in the building didn’t sleep well.

While eating in the cafeteria at noon, many students were whispering.

Hu Jing is a very sociable person. After dinner, she returned to the dormitory and told us different versions of the story about the girl who jumped off the building last night.

But there is no mistake about that girl’s name, she is Zhang Huafang from the Department of Mathematics.

The first version says that there are more boys than girls in the mathematics department. There are more than 20 students in their class, but only 7 of them are girls.

This girl named Zhang Huafang is not pretty, but she is petite, cute, confident and dignified. She is like a star in the class.

The boys who were pursuing her lined up outside the stadium. Many of them were from her class, other classes, and even the previous year.

In comprehensive universities, it is not just the mathematics department that has an imbalance in the ratio of men to women, but the entire school. As long as you are not extremely ugly, there will be no shortage of suitors.

During the military training, Zhang Huafang chose a man named Lin Hui as her boyfriend among many suitors. Their relationship quickly heated up and they were inseparable.

This Lin Hui is also from this city. I heard that he comes from a well-off family, but he is a playboy.

Suspecting that Lin Hui had fallen in love with someone else, Zhang Huafang was heartbroken and chose to commit suicide.

The second version says that Zhang Huafang and Guo Xiangsong, who died suddenly, were high school classmates and also a couple.

After Guo Xiangsong's death, Zhang Huafang gradually suffered from depression due to excessive grief, and finally chose to follow Guo Xiangsong.

Listening to Hu Jing's vivid account of Zhang Huafang's story, I frowned and tended to believe version 2.

But it’s hard to say. We can’t make any assumptions before things are clarified.

But I felt a little uneasy in my heart because Guo Xiangsong's issue had not been resolved yet.

I have set up a ghost-exorcising formation at Teacher Yang's home, so he can't go in and cause any harm to Teacher Yang.

But I didn't find him either, so I guess he wouldn't look for someone else.

I have some suspicion that Zhang Huafang's fall from the building had something to do with him, but without solid evidence, I cannot draw a conclusion.

I was thinking whether I should go and ask Teacher Yang in the evening.

After dinner in the evening, Wang Fang came to our dormitory.

"Liu Feng, Wei Ying, let's continue selling things tonight. We only sold two and a half buildings yesterday. We have nothing to do tonight anyway, so let's go sell some more."

"Okay, let's go, I thought so too."

Before I could say anything, Wang Fang and Gu Weiying started talking to each other about going to other girls' dormitories to sell things.

After a day of selling yesterday, they tasted the sweetness and were very enthusiastic. But I swallowed the words that were on the tip of my tongue.

"All right!"

I agreed to their suggestions with a bit of disappointment.

"What's wrong? Liu Feng, why do you seem unhappy? Are you in a bad mood?"

Wang Fang asked when she saw how limp I was.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that the guy who jumped off the building yesterday kept me awake most of the night. I'm not in a good mood."

I said lightly.

"Didn't you take a nap at noon?" Gu Weiying said.

How could she know that she, Hu Jing and Gao Jie were all snoring in the afternoon, but I had something on my mind, so how could I sleep?

"It's okay, let's go. Today you two will lead the way, and I'll assist you!"

I still feel weak.

"Oh my! All three of you left, leaving me alone in the dormitory. I don't know whether Zhang Huafang is dead or alive. I'm a little scared."

At this moment, Hu Jing, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly jumped up.

Last night, Zhang Huafang happened to fall right under our window and we were on the second floor. The whole scene was bloody and terrifying, and we saw it all clearly.

I didn't expect that Hu Jing, who is usually carefree, would be so timid at the critical moment.

"Oh my! You're not the only one in this building. What's there to be afraid of?"

Wang Fang laughed.

"It's all Liu Feng's fault. She always tells us ghost stories. I'm often so scared that I don't dare to go to the toilet at night."

"Hearing her ghost stories, I'm a little interested. So I borrowed some books on the subject. How can I not be scared?"

Hu Jing squinted her eyes and pouted at me.

I was also wronged. I had nothing to do during the military training, so I told them a few ghost stories.

Later, when the classes officially started, I stopped teaching for fear of disturbing their rest. But as long as Gao Jie slept in the dormitory at night, she forced me to teach.

Hu Jing is also an advocate, so this time it’s my fault.

I held my forehead, speechless.

"Hu Jing, you are timid. I advised you not to borrow those ghost stories to read, but you insisted on reading them. Now you blame me again?"

I scolded her.

"What should we do now? Do you want to go sell things with us?" Gu Weiying looked at us helplessly and said.

"Four of us went to sell things together, and people thought we were teaming up to have a fight."

Wang Fang chuckled.

"Then I don't care. One of you three must stay with me, otherwise I will have to follow you."

Hu Jing stepped forward and blocked the dormitory door.

"Then let's do this. Wang Fang and I will go sell things, and Liu Feng, you stay and accompany her. You're not in a good mood anyway." Gu Weiying said.

"That's fine. Just the two of you go today. Anyway, we only got a small amount of goods for the first time. They were almost all sold out yesterday. Even the best-selling lipstick is gone."

"We'll go get more stock in a few days, and then we'll split up and sell our own products."

I also felt groggy and not in a good condition, so I agreed to Gu Weiying's arrangement.

So I sat down on the bed again. Hu Jing didn't even want to get on her own bed. Before I got into the quilt, she climbed on first.

"Liu Feng, I'll go with you." She sat down at the head of my bed with a book in her hand, giggling.

Gu Weiying and Wang Fang walked out of the dormitory carrying the leftover things from yesterday’s sale.

"Hey, Liu Feng, do you think that Zhang Huafang was pushed down by a ghost?"

After Gu Weiying and Wang Fang left, Hu Jing came up to me and whispered.

"What are you thinking about? Have you read too many ghost stories?"

My expression tensed and I looked at her in surprise. In fact, I had thought so in my heart, but I didn't want Hu Jing to panic, so I deliberately scolded her.

"Look at you, you're scared, right? I just said that and you're so scared. And you still say I'm timid. Come, I just borrowed this book today. Take a look. I haven't finished reading the one I borrowed a few days ago."

After saying that, she climbed down from my bed again.

"Ah! What are you doing now?"

Seeing that she was about to get out of bed again, I asked in confusion.

"I'll go get some snacks, and we'll eat while we watch. When Gu Weiying and the others come back, I'll go back to my bed."

She laughed and threw a bag of snacks over my bed, then jumped back onto my bed.

I had no choice but to pick up the book she gave me. It turned out to be another novel by Jin Yong, which I love to read. But when I opened the pages, I couldn't concentrate on reading it. I didn't know where my mind was wandering.

"Liu Feng, didn't you say you like reading Jin Yong's novels the most? I borrowed this book from a senior student especially for you."

Seeing that I was not in the mood to read, Hu Jing was very confused and asked with snacks in her mouth.
