"You seem to have a hard time making friends in your major!"
Wang Anran rolled her eyes twice and suddenly got even friendlier. "How about being friends with me?!"
"No need."
I wasn't used to getting so close to a stranger. I had already shaken off her hand and taken two steps back. "I have friends."
"Please, don't be so heartless!"
Wang Anran pouted. Her makeup looked creepy in the faint moonlight. "People who are friends with me are all very happy. We can skip classes together, go to bars together, and hit the nightclubs together. I guarantee there'll be things you've never experienced before!"
"I'm not interested in these."
Seeing me still shaking my head, she seemed a bit anxious and tried to step forward to grab me. "Our circle is really fun! It's true! Come and have a look with me. You're sure to like it."
Somehow, several white shadows appeared beside the shabby desk next to Wang Anran. They all had disheveled hair and blood - covered faces, twisting their bodies and approaching me...
"Come on, come with us!! It'll be so much fun!!" Wang Anran's voice became shriller and shriller. The black eyeliner on her face looked like two trails of bloody tears.
"Evil spirits! Begone!!"
Although I didn't know why Wang Anran had suddenly turned like this, the increasing number of ghostly shadows around her really made my scalp tingle. I imitated the incantation in my dad's book and made a hand gesture.
Instantly, those illusory white shadows disappeared like green smoke being scattered by a strong wind.
But Wang Anran was completely unaffected and still stepped closer to me step by step.
"Lu Xiyu, be a good girl and jump down with me!"
Suddenly, her face was right in front of mine. Half of her face cracked like a smashed tomato. Red and white liquid rolled out of her eye socket along with an eyeball.
"Ugh..." I couldn't help retching.
But Wang Anran grinned and pushed hard on my shoulder. Her strength was so great that I staggered back two steps. My back suddenly knocked open the ajar window, and my body involuntarily fell out...
"Ah..."
"Ah!!!"
Countless shrill screams rang out, as if in a frenzy of celebration for my impending death.
My body was already hanging in the air when suddenly a strong arm grabbed me. The next second, I was pulled into a cold embrace.
"Are you looking for death?!"
A extremely cold voice sounded above my head. "How dare you touch my woman?!"
Gu Fancheng, the ghost who claimed to be my man, actually showed up in such a situation!
"Squeak..."
Wang Anran let out a shrill scream. Her fragmented face was grabbed by Gu Fancheng's pale hand, and her whole body was lifted off the ground. "No... no, spare me, spare me..."
As his fingers tightened, Wang Anran wriggled painfully. Blood and pieces of her limbs fell to the ground like lumps of mud. Her body shrank smaller and smaller and gradually became transparent...
At this moment, the bright moonlight shone into the classroom through the glass window. Suddenly, a black mist spread out. A vague shadow gradually took shape in the mist. It was actually the creepy faceless ghost on the stairs.
I couldn't help shivering and reached out to hug Gu Fancheng's waist tightly. In this situation surrounded by ghosts, it seemed that only here could give me a bit of a sense of security.
Feeling my change, Gu Fancheng smiled silently and hugged me even tighter.
"Who dares to obstruct the Yama's messenger from doing his job?"
Although the faceless ghost's tone was shrill, it was extremely domineering. Wherever the black mist went, even the moonlight stopped flowing.
He was actually a Yama's messenger?!
My heart was pounding wildly. He was here to capture Wang Anran. Would he also take Gu Fancheng, the ghost, down?
I couldn't help stealing a glance at Gu Fancheng, only to find that there was no change in his expression, and his hand holding Wang Anran didn't even loosen a bit.
"Letting such things run amok? You in charge are really derelict in your duties." Gu Fancheng said coldly.
The faceless ghost was furious. How dare a mere ghost scold a Yama's messenger? Did he want to be completely annihilated?
The black mist rolled, and suddenly the faceless ghost's blank face appeared in front of Gu Fancheng. A chain suddenly appeared in his black palm. With a "clatter", the chain was whipped towards Gu Fancheng's head.
"Humph..."
Gu Fancheng let out an almost inaudible snort and didn't even bother to move.
The seemingly extremely heavy chain actually hovered above Gu Fancheng's head and was seen turning into ashes inch by inch.
The faceless Yama's messenger let out a scream even more shrill than a ghost. There seemed to be fear on his flat face. "You... You... You are..."
"My surname is Gu." Gu Fancheng's cold voice interrupted the faceless Yama's messenger's words.
"Mr. Gu... Please spare that soul."
The faceless Yama's messenger took a few steps back and looked at Wang Anran, who was almost about to be completely annihilated under Gu Fancheng's hand, at a loss.
"If it weren't for your wife hiding her aura, I wouldn't have failed to find her! As a result, she missed the time for the daily punishment from heaven..."
There was a strong sense of panic in the faceless ghost's voice, but he had to pluck up the courage to say, "If you let this suicidal ghost be completely annihilated like this, it will also bring more karmic consequences to your wife."
"That's your fault. What does it have to do with her?"
Although Gu Fancheng said so, he finally let go of Wang Anran. "Get out!"
His voice was colder than the moonlight. As his voice fell, in an instant, everything disappeared. In the small classroom, only the gentle breeze was rustling the tree shadows outside the window...
"Miss me?"
Gu Fancheng's voice suddenly came from above my head. The cold feeling was replaced by a frivolous teasing.
I hadn't yet recovered from the sight of the severed limbs on the ground. I looked up blankly, trying to figure out what he was talking about.
The next second, my mouth was firmly pressed against by two cold lips. His eager kiss seemed as if he wanted to devour me immediately.
"... Mmm... No! No!"
I struggled, pushing hard on his shoulders with both hands. This was still at school. Although it was evening, there were still lights in the teaching building not far away, and there were still quite a few students on the playground.
"No what... You seduced me..."
Gu Fancheng murmured between the kiss. "You heartless thing... I've missed you so much..."
His left hand still clasped my waist, while his right hand had already moved down along my collarbone. The cold touch made me shiver.
"All better?" His fingers lingered on my chest where he had left marks before.
"Yes, it's better!"
I thought he was referring to the hickeys, so I quickly nodded and reached out to catch his restless fingers. But the next second, he actually pressed me down on the desk in front of me.
"You... You can't... This is a classroom..."
I was scared. How could he do this?! How could he be so shameless!
