After nightfall, not only did the entire Xingfu Yizhong fall into silence, but even the livestream footage was sped up so viewers wouldn’t find it boring.
But in the dead of night, the accelerated footage flickered, and the livestream screen shifted to show a sleeping Jiang Liyue.
Her eyes were tightly shut, her fair face glowing especially bright under the moonlight, her long lashes making her look like a beautiful sleeping doll.
【What does this mean, suddenly showing me my wife】
【I suspect the livestream has a soft spot for Yueyue, peeking at her while she sleeps】
【I’m drooling over Yueyue’s sleeping face, she’s like a little angel, I want to hold Yueyue and sleep】
Then the livestream showed a dark shadow climbing over and wrapping around Jiang Liyue.
The livestream footage clearly showed Pei Ji’s tall nose bridge pressed against Jiang Liyue’s fragile neck.
Like a wild beast marking its prey, testing with sharp fangs as it rubbed against her.
【Ahhh help, there’s something filthy, get this dog of a man away from my wife!】
【This is shameless, sneaking a hug while Yueyue is asleep】
【I can feel through the screen how fragrant and soft the little human is, what a lucky dog of a man】
【Taking advantage of Yueyue while she sleeps, this is the terrifying existence you all talk about?】
When she was woken by the ringing alarm in the morning, Jiang Liyue hadn’t fully registered what was happening.
In her dream last night, she seemed to be tightly entangled by something, kissed and licked all over.
Especially her hand—it felt like it was being gnawed by a dense rain of kisses.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liyue raised her hand. It was still smooth and fair, without any marks.
So it really was just a dream?
Jiang Liyue didn’t dwell on it. She got out of bed and greeted her three roommates: “Good morning.”
The roommates didn’t look as terrifying as they had last night—they seemed like ordinary middle school students.
But when they saw her, their expressions were curious and admiring: “You’re so pretty! Are you our new roommate? Sorry, we fell asleep last night and didn’t welcome you.”
Jiang Liyue immediately realized they didn’t remember what had happened last night.
Perhaps the Guiyi were different during the day and at night.
She shook her head without showing anything: “No problem.” Then she carefully observed their appearances.
Aside from the obvious dark circles under their eyes, there was nothing unusual about them.
“Did you not sleep well?” Jiang Liyue asked with feigned curiosity.
Zhu Huan shook her head: “I don’t know, I just feel like I didn’t really sleep.”
Zhou Mei and Zhou Li nodded along, scratching their heads in confusion: “We woke up and found ourselves still on the balcony. We don’t usually sleepwalk.”
“I thought maybe you heard someone crying next door like I did, and that’s why you didn’t sleep well.” Jiang Liyue sat down on the chair, resting her chin on the backrest, speaking as if casually.
Since the nighttime Guiyi didn’t know what had happened in Dorm 414, what about the daytime?
Sure enough, at these words, the three immediately widened their eyes. Zhu Huan lowered her voice: “You heard someone crying?”
“Yes, crying nonstop. It sounded a bit pitiful too.” Jiang Liyue furrowed her brows, her pretty face showing a hint of concern. “I wonder if something happened.”
She was like an innocent, kind-hearted student, looking to the three for help: “Do you think I should tell the dorm matron?”
“Don’t you dare!” Zhu Huan quickly stopped her.
Zhou Mei glanced around warily before lowering her voice: “It’s definitely those girls next door bullying someone. Don’t get involved, or you’ll end up in trouble too.”
“Are they that vicious?” Jiang Liyue hesitated.
“They’re very vicious! They love bullying people.” Zhu Huan’s brows instantly furrowed, and a hint of fear crept into her eyes.
It seemed she had found the key lead.
Jiang Liyue thought to herself, but on the surface she sighed: “Really? Good thing I wasn’t assigned to their dorm.”
“Right. Last semester, someone got assigned to their dorm. She was bullied and cried every day, and they made her run errands for them. Then later…”
“Later what?” Jiang Liyue pressed, her intuition telling her that person was Ren Yuanxing.
“Later, she disappeared.”
Zhou Mei and Zhou Li also spoke with a knowing air: “The school couldn’t even find her. We’re not in the same class—she was in Class Five. We don’t know the details. I heard she ran off with a male student from Class Four.”
“I don’t think so.” Zhu Huan lowered her voice further. “She always kept to herself, and she was bullied by those girls next door every day. I never saw her with any close male classmates. How could she have run off with someone?”
“Do you know what that student’s name was?” Jiang Liyue confirmed one last time.
“I think it was… Ren Yuanxing?”
Hearing Ren Yuanxing’s name, Jiang Liyue could only think: just as I suspected.
“Anyway, I’m sure Ren Yuanxing didn’t run off. Maybe it has something to do with those girls next door.” Zhu Huan said with certainty, though her voice grew quieter and quieter out of fear.
Ren Yuanxing certainly couldn’t have run off.
Jiang Liyue was also certain of this point—after all, the task was to find Ren Yuanxing, which at least proved that Ren Yuanxing was indeed somewhere inside Xingfu Yizhong.
But she couldn’t figure out why the students of Xingfu Yizhong looked normal during the day but turned into Guiyi at night.
Did any of this have something to do with Ren Yuanxing?
“Oh no, oh no, class is about to start. If we’re late and get caught by the student council, we’ll lose points!” Zhu Huan suddenly shot up from her seat.
Zhou Mei and Zhou Li also hurriedly tidied themselves up.
Jiang Liyue realized they probably didn’t know any more information, so she stopped pressing and followed the three of them out of the dormitory.
As she stepped out, she glanced at the room next door—414’s door wasn’t open, and she couldn’t tell if anyone was inside.
Meanwhile, the door to 413 beside it was pushed open at the same time. The girl who walked out was very tall, with neat short hair and features that carried a hint of androgynous handsomeness.
Jiang Liyue vaguely remembered seeing her at the Jiaowuchu.
At the time, she seemed to have been standing and talking with the person who sat at the desk in front of her in the exam room.
When the other girl saw her, her eyes seemed to brighten for a moment, but she pressed her lips together and said nothing.
Jiang Liyue took the initiative to greet her: “Hello, I’m Jiang Liyue.”
“Hello, hello, I’m Lin Xi. We met last night.” A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of Lin Xi’s mouth.
Zhu Huan and the others saw that she was talking to someone and waved at her before jogging off ahead.
“I remember.” Jiang Liyue naturally fell into step with Lin Xi. “Which class did you all get placed in?”
“It seems like we’re all in Class Five. I heard a few people are in Class Four.”
So she was in the same class as Ren Yuanxing, while the male student who supposedly eloped was in Class Four.
Lin Xi looked at her curiously. “What about you? Which class are you in?”
This wasn’t critical information, so Jiang Liyue didn’t hide it: “I’m in Class One.”
“Class One?” Lin Xi’s eyes widened almost instantly in shock. “How could it be Class One?”
The class where the most terrifying existence in the Fuben was said to be?
