Chapter 10, Midnight Confessions

Where are your roommates? Are they all right?" I glanced at Liu Yang and asked anxiously, "Are they still under the control of the bad guys?

"Who has returned? Could you please speak clearly?" I shot Liu Yang an annoyed glance and impatiently patted his shoulder as I asked.

"So his death is, for you, a kind of liberation, isn't it?" A cold voice suddenly came from above, and we all looked over with curiosity

As for me... the reason for my singleness is evidently that I am too outstanding? Those girls, upon seeing the talented and handsome me, would be fortunate enough not to feel ashamed of themselves, let alone have the courage to pursue me? Thinking of it this way, I feel much more at ease in my heart.

She has left now, and there are some things I actually do not want to say. But do you all know that I am truly fed up! Liu Yang desperately clutched his hair, his voice revealing exhaustion

Cough cough... This matter can be discussed later; the priority now is to resolve Liu Yang's issue. Li Qiang knew that I was taking the opportunity to retaliate, his face flushed, and he quickly changed the subject

I let out a cold laugh and said, "You do know what it means to be embarrassed, right? How come you didn't feel embarrassed when you were singing while drunk? You have no idea how much Bai Xiu and I wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in that day!"

Upon hearing these words, I was filled with rage and kicked Liu Yang off the chair with one swift motion

What exactly happened? Take your time to explain... What do you mean by encountering a ghost?" Li Qiang walked over and brought a stool for Liu Yang, sitting on the nearby bed and asking with confusion.

Li Qiang's expression was somewhat peculiar. He quietly leaned closer to my ear and whispered, "Do you think he... is he stimulated?" While saying this, he also pointed to his head.

Liu Yang's expression fluctuated between dark and light upon hearing Bai Xiu's words. After a few dozen seconds, he suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Yes! After she died, I felt as if I had been liberated from prison"

He did not exert much force with that kick. When Liu Yang fell to the ground, he quickly got back up and looked at me in confusion, saying: "Why did you kick me?"

The knocking continued for more than half an hour before gradually fading away... I was so terrified under the blanket that I could hardly breathe... I even had a feeling that Hu Lu had already entered, that she was in the dormitory watching me...

I stared in astonishment at Liu Yang outside the door... I saw him bare-chested, wearing only a pair of shorts on the lower half... It was evident that he had just jumped out of bed...

In short, if one day you have the opportunity to fall in love, you will understand my feelings at this moment" Liu Yang sighed and said with a gloomy expression

What have you discovered? Hurry up and tell me! You're driving me crazy! I was so angry that I almost kicked him again; it's not like we're telling ghost stories, and this guy is still creating suspense for us...

After saying this, Liu Yang suddenly felt much lighter, perhaps he had wanted to express these words to someone for a long time. It was just that he had not found the right opportunity until now

What is going on? Liu Yang was even more puzzled; he had come seeking comfort, so why had he instead become the target of resentment?

The three of us, Bai Xiu, Li Qiang, and I, quietly listened to Liu Yang's narration, and none of us spoke. ... Time passed minute by minute ... . ... It is now already three o'clock in the morning ... . The originally calm dormitory suddenly became oppressive due to Liu Yang's arrival ... ...

"She is back, this woman is back..." Liu Yang said, grasping Li Qiang's arm, speaking incoherently.

I sighed and looked at Li Qiang and Bai Xiu. As for Li Qiang, there's nothing more to say; he is a complete loser, who loves nothing more than surfing the internet and watching videos, being single is perfectly normal for him. As for Bai Xiu... This guy actually looks quite good, but he doesn't talk much and is a bit of a bookworm; otherwise, with his qualities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a woman.

"Since that is the case, why did you choose to be with her in the first place?" Bai Xiu furrowed his brows and said to him

Indeed! Liu Yang's body began to tremble again, she has indeed come back to find me, and it was just a moment ago...

Save me

My first reaction at that moment was to immediately close the door, but as soon as the door was shut, the knocking sound started again. I was so frightened that I hid under the blanket, trembling... However, the knocking did not stop; instead, it grew louder and louder...

After a while, I broke the silence

I could no longer endure this atmosphere... So I rushed out of the dormitory as if I had gone mad, and then I came to you..." At this point, Liu Yang covered his mouth, and due to overwhelming fear, his breathing became heavy.

You must have heard of Hu Lu, and to be honest, I still feel quite guilty about her situation

She is overbearing and unreasonable, willful and capricious, and never gives me any face in public. When I am with her, everything—what to eat, what to drink, what to play, where to go on dates, where to take walks—she makes all the decisions. If I am late for a date, she can scold me mercilessly, but if she is late, she can come up with a whole bunch of excuses, and I dare not complain even once... You tell me, is there such a woman? This is not being strong; this is being unreasonable. Sometimes I feel like I am just a dog, a dog being toyed with by her

Tonight, all the classmates in the dormitory went out to spend the night online, and I am sleeping alone in the dormitory. In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. I thought it was my roommate returning, so I got up to open the door, but when I opened it... I realized... I realized...

I was stunned, is there a ghost? What ghost is it

Liu Yang looked back and saw Bai Xiu and Li Qiang both glaring at him with fierce expressions

You do not understand... none of you understand... Before falling in love, men and women present their best selves. However, once they become familiar with each other... all the flaws will be exposed... If I had known that this relationship would bring me such great distress, I definitely would not have started it... If I had known she was so difficult to get along with, I certainly would have..." Liu Yang's voice revealed a deep sense of helplessness. If I had known that this relationship would bring me such great distress, I definitely would not have started it... If I had known she was so difficult to get along with, I certainly would have..." Liu Yang's voice revealed a deep sense of helplessness

Bad... bad person? Liu Yang was taken aback for a moment, but then his expression became excited again, "No! It's not that there are bad people... there are ghosts! There are ghosts!"

"What happened, Liu Yang? What is going on?" Li Qiang got out of bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked at Liu Yang with a curious expression as he asked.

Li Qiang, save me! I have encountered a ghost! I have encountered a ghost! Liu Yang, being relatively familiar with Li Qiang, rushed into the house in a flustered manner as if he had seen a lifeline.

Liu Yang sat on the chair, drenched in sweat, panting heavily, and appeared utterly terrified... as if he had just gone through something extremely horrifying...

I sighed and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder, saying: "Brother, are you looking down on us in a dormitory full of single dogs? Do you not want to walk out of here alive?"

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic! You rushed over here in a fluster, and you keep mentioning ghosts. Could it be that your girlfriend has come back to find you?" I said, giving Liu Yang a meaningful glance.

Liu Yang became increasingly agitated as he spoke, as if he wanted to recount everything about his interactions with Hu Lu. It was evident that this relationship had brought him considerable distress

"Zeng Jian, at this moment, let's not discourage him; let's first hear what he has to say about what exactly happened..." Li Qiang said, somewhat awkwardly touching his nose.

Liu Yang was so startled by my slap that he nearly jumped out of his chair. He looked at me with extreme fear, and his voice immediately rose: "It's Hu Lu! Hu Lu has returned..."

"Bai Xiu, why are you awake?"

"How can you speak like that? What is wrong with that person's mind?" As soon as I heard those words, I became agitated, and my voice suddenly rose by several decibels, which directly startled Li Qiang into covering my mouth.

I discovered a woman standing outside the door ... ... Her features were twisted and grotesque, with blood continuously oozing from her forehead ... ... Although her face was covered in blood, I still recognized her! This woman is Hu Lu!

I felt quite guilty. Yesterday, I saw you having a great time playing games with that scoundrel Li Qiang. I sat with my legs crossed and scoffed disdainfully.

Let us go and take a look at Liu Yang's dormitory

Liu Yang was taken aback by what I said, and immediately became flustered, repeatedly apologizing that it was not his intention

What? Both Li Qiang and I were taken aback by this statement, and we looked at Liu Yang with astonished expressions.

"I am not a pig. With all this noise, how could I possibly still sleep?" Bai Xiu yawned and then fixed his gaze on Liu Yang, "Answer my previous question: was your girlfriend's death a form of liberation for you?"

Li Qiang handed him a bottle of mineral water. Liu Yang opened the cap and gulped down a mouthful, making an effort to calm his emotions. Taking a deep breath, he began to recount his story to us

You asked them! I pointed at Bai Xiu and Li Qiang with a rather unpleasant expression on my face

"Liu Yang, please recount the entire sequence of events from beginning to end. What exactly happened with Hu Lu's return?" I said to Liu Yang, who was still trembling.

Liu Yang waved his hand and said with a bitter smile: "You are right, I am indeed quite heartless. It has only been a few days since Hu Lu left, and I have already started playing games..."

"Hehe... Liu Yang, don't listen to his nonsense, there is certainly nothing wrong with your mind," Li Qiang said to Liu Yang with an awkward expression, and then he fiercely whispered to me, "Why are you being so loud?"

What exactly happened that this guy didn't even have time to put on his clothes? Could it be that... a robber or thief ran into their dormitory?
