“Auntie, there are so many sick students, you can’t handle it all by yourself. Shall we stay and help you?” Shi Xiaxia suggested.

"Yes, Auntie!"

Yi Huan quickly chimed in to Shi Xiaxia, "Otherwise, Auntie, if you fall ill while taking care of so many students all by yourself, what will happen to them?!"

The dormitory supervisor hesitated for a moment.

Seeing that her attitude had softened, Shi Xiaxia picked up the masks and gloves she had prepared, put them on, and began to help.

"Don't worry, Auntie, we'll be fine!"

Yi Huan smiled at the dormitory supervisor, and then joined Shi Xiaxia in getting busy.

Seeing that the dormitory supervisor hadn't moved for a long time, they looked up and saw tears glistening in her eyes.

Shi Xiaxia thought for a moment, then tentatively said, "You said you see us like your own children. In our eyes, Auntie, you are like our elder. If something happens to you, the students will be very sad."

"Mmm." The dormitory supervisor responded gratefully and didn't say anything more about asking Shi Xiaxia and Yi Huan to leave.

After that, the three of them got busy together.

With the help of Shi Xiaxia and Yi Huan, the medicine and supplies were distributed in no time.

Next, they went to the dormitory supervisor's room and began preparing the items to be distributed next time.

The dormitory supervisor was just an ordinary middle-aged woman, and she had a habit of asking for information while talking.

"You two are such good children,"

The dormitory supervisor looked at the two with a pleased expression: "Your families must be very well-off!"

Yi Huan glanced at Shi Xiaxia but did not answer first.

Shi Xiaxia shook her head, her expression turning somewhat forlorn: "I'm an orphan, or rather, not entirely. I know who my biological mother is, but she loves the girl who took my place more and doesn't like me."

"what?!"

The dormitory supervisor was astonished: "How can there be such parents?!"

Shi Xiaxia shook her head again and said sadly, "Auntie, you are so good to your students. I think I would be very happy if I were your child."

The dormitory supervisor didn't say anything, she just kept tidying up her things.

Yi Huan and Shi Xiaxia exchanged a glance.

The last time the dormitory supervisor mentioned her daughter, her eyes were filled with tears, and she avoided talking about it, which made the two of them feel a little strange.

Shi Xiaxia tried to get information out of the dormitory supervisor, but she still didn't intend to say anything.

It seems that the dormitory supervisor's daughter is closely related to the formation of this illusion.

Yi Huan thought for a moment, just about to speak.

The dormitory supervisor spoke up at this point, saying, "I know you're curious, but there's nothing I can't say."

After saying that, she paused for a moment before saying, "I'm not a good mother..."

“Back then, after my husband passed away, my daughter was still young. I had to earn money and raise her, so I really neglected to care for her.”

But life went on like this, and my daughter knew how hard I worked, so she never let me worry about her.

When she was in high school, it rained heavily one night. I happened to be relatively free that day, so I offered to pick her up from school.

As I was getting ready to leave to pick up my daughter, my boss asked me to deliver some takeout. I had no choice but to agree, thankfully it wasn't too far.

I thought it wouldn't matter if I was a little late, my daughter would definitely be waiting for me at the school gate.

But who knew that when I finished my delivery and rushed over, my daughter was lying in a pool of blood…

The dormitory supervisor couldn't hold back her tears. She choked back sobs and said intermittently, "My daughter thought I wasn't coming to pick her up, so she ran home in the rain. It was dark and the roads were slippery. There wasn't a single car that could stop..."

The dormitory supervisor covered her face and wept: "My daughter died that night..."

It's all my fault... If I had gone to pick her up sooner... this wouldn't have happened!

"Auntie..." Yi Huan felt a little sad when she learned the truth.

It seems that the reason why the dormitory supervisor is so kind to all the students is because she feels guilty towards her own daughter and is trying her best to make up for it.

Afterwards, Shi Xiaxia and Yi Huan comforted the dormitory supervisor.

But because she revealed a secret she had kept hidden for many years, the dormitory supervisor became somewhat downcast, and the group didn't say anything more.

Before long, the three of them had almost finished dealing with the items to be distributed that evening.

Shi Xiaxia and Yi Huan then left the dormitory supervisor's room.

As she was leaving, the dormitory supervisor muttered, "Where's Yinyin? Where did that child go? She's not in good health; if she catches something, it might get even worse."

Shi Xiaxia and Yi Huan exchanged a glance but remained silent.

The two then walked towards their room.

Because of illness, everyone was lying in bed, and there was no one in the corridor. The whole dormitory was filled with a quiet but oppressive atmosphere.

The two observed for more than ten minutes and were about to close the door when they suddenly saw Xiangxiang carrying a basin with a blue short-sleeved shirt inside and laundry detergent in her hand, walking towards the washroom.

Just three or four minutes after I went in, I heard her angry voice: "Who is it! They used up all my laundry detergent!"

After saying this, Xiangxiang stormed back to the dormitory and yelled, "What are you washing! What are you washing!"

With a loud crash, Xiangxiang seemed to have knocked something over. Then she shouted in a shrill voice, "Wenwen! Did you use my laundry detergent?! How could you be so rude?! Can't you buy your own?"

Although Wenwen was also sick, she still said confidently, "I only used a little bit! But the dorms are under lockdown, so I can't go out to buy a new one!"

Upon hearing this, Xiangxiang flew into a rage and pointed at Wenwen, shouting, "How dare you say you only used a tiny bit?"

You used up all my laundry detergent! How am I supposed to do laundry now? You've gone too far!

Xiangxiang and Wenwen started arguing, and their voices grew louder and louder, filling the entire dormitory.

Wenwen, who was sick, seemed to lose her strength after arguing for a few minutes, and her voice gradually faded away.

After a while, the dormitory aunt heard their commotion and quickly ran over to break it up.

Seeing this, Xiangxiang obediently stopped arguing with Wenwen, but she was still so angry that her face turned red.

She stormed out of the dormitory, picked up her laundry basin and the empty laundry detergent bottle, and turned back into the dormitory.

After that, the dormitory became quiet until night fell.

Shi Xiaxia and Yi Huan sat on the bed, neither of them resting.

Yi Huan already knows about the dormitory supervisor's background, but she still doesn't understand how it relates to this illusion.

Yi Huan scratched her head in frustration, but there was nothing she could do.
