When I left the laboratory building, I heard someone screaming from afar.
The body of that girl must have been discovered.
Many people were rushing in that direction.
In the crowd, I saw Zhao Zifeng.
"Xixi, something's happened at the laboratory building!" Zhao Zifeng was a curious person. She came over and grabbed my hand, eager to go and watch the commotion.
"I'm not going..." I shook my head. Then I grabbed her hand and asked, "Do you know where Wang Anran is?"
"Ah? Xixi, you seem quite interested in her?" Zhao Zifeng noticed my abnormality. She simply ignored the campus gossip and came over to hook her arm through mine. "Do you want to transfer to our major?"
"No, I just... want to take a look at the outstanding students in our school... so that I can present the facts and reason with my dad later. You know... my dad still firmly opposes my going to school!"
I didn't dare to say that I was afraid the ghost would take revenge and kill people. If Zhao Zifeng knew that a supernatural event was about to happen, I didn't know whether she would be scared or excited!
"Then I must support you! You've got to convince your old man! Leave the information about Senior Sister Wang to me! I'll ask the student union right now!"
Zhao Zifeng immediately took out her phone and opened their class group to start "shouting".
Frowning and typing like crazy, Zhao Zifeng chatted on WeChat for a long time. Finally, she grinned in relief and gave me a "V" sign.
"Senior Sister Wang has been promoted. She's working in the control room of Subway Line 5. Just now I got her WeChat. She's on duty today. Let's take the subway to David City and have some fun. We can see her when we transfer lines! Anyway, it's the weekend tomorrow. We can stay out all night!"
The David City that Zhao Zifeng mentioned was a luxury shopping mall in our city. There were many world - famous brands in it, and there was also a three - story food court on the upper floors. Every weekend and holiday, it was bustling with people. It was definitely a paradise in the hearts of the one - million students in Longteng Lake University Town.
Although I grew up in Green City, I had never been to such a place.
Right then, Zhao Zifeng pulled me out of the school gate.
Although the university town of Longteng Lake was far from the urban area, the transportation was extremely convenient. Two subway lines had set this as the terminal station.
After leaving the school gate, Zhao Zifeng and I each bought a cup of bubble milk tea before stepping down the stairs to the subway station.
It was Friday, and it was also the beginning of the new semester for each university. The subway station was full of students, all young and energetic, and most of them were young couples, either holding hands or hugging each other around the waist. It was completely different from the furtive romances in high school.
Zhao Zifeng seemed a bit dazed looking at the young couples in the subway station. I guessed she must have thought of our high - school vice - monitor. She had had a crush on him for more than two years but never managed to confess. It was impossible for her not to feel regretful.
"Hehe." After looking for a while, Zhao Zifeng suddenly smiled at me. "Let's hold hands too. Make it a bit ambiguous and make those stinky boys envy me!"
It turned out that Zhao Zifeng had noticed that several young boys were looking at us intentionally or unintentionally.
I never dressed up deliberately. I was just wearing a loose white T - shirt and a pair of ordinary blue jeans.
Zhao Zifeng, on the other hand, looked like a new college girl, wearing a trendy JK skirt. Her knee - length socks made her legs look slender and straight.
"Excuse me, which school are you from?"
Sure enough, a boy came over. Although he was just average - looking, he was young and his sunny smile always made people feel good.
Zhao Zifeng rolled her eyes. "Are you asking me or her?!"
The boy looked a bit shy, but his eyes turned to me.
Suddenly, a hand slowly reached out from behind me and pulled me into an embrace. At the same time, I heard Gu Fancheng's cold voice above my head. "She has a boyfriend!"
Before I could react, Zhao Zifeng suddenly let out a scream as if she had seen a ghost. She pointed at the person behind me. "I, I recognize you. I recognize your voice! You're the one who answered the phone..."
"It's me."
Gu Fancheng smiled, interrupting what Zhao Zifeng was going to say next.
Only then did I come to my senses from the shock. I stiffly turned my head back slowly.
Wasn't the person behind me Gu Fancheng?!
He was standing under the extremely bright lights of the subway station, wearing a white T - shirt. The pair of blue jeans on his legs that were the same color as mine made his legs look long and straight. Except for his slightly pale face... he looked just like a living person!!
"Wow! Xixi, where did you meet such a high - quality guy?"
Zhao Zifeng exaggeratedly opened her mouth wide and shouted, "I didn't expect you, a usually honest girl, to be earlier than me... you know what! Tsk tsk tsk, you're even wearing couple outfits... Ahh, by the way, dude, you have no chance!"
The last sentence was for the boy who had come to strike up a conversation. "See? With such a boyfriend, do you think my classmate would take a fancy to other men?!"
Watching the boy leave awkwardly, Zhao Zifeng then turned to me again, looking at me with a naughty smile. "Did you come out today to have a date? Look, it's all because you're too shy to reject me, so I've become a super - big third wheel here... Forget it, I'll make way for you guys today. I'll go back to school first!"
Saying that, she sized up Gu Fancheng from head to toe, then nodded and said, "Well, he's quite handsome. I was just afraid Xixi had bad taste and was like a beautiful flower stuck in the cow dung."
"Zifeng..." Zhao Zifeng spoke so fast and urgently that I stamped my feet anxiously but couldn't get a word in.
I thought Gu Fancheng would definitely be unhappy with her words.
Unexpectedly, he curved his lips and showed a faint smile. "No need. Have a good time tonight. I'll treat you."
"No... no way! I still have something to do today!!"
I still had to find the living Wang Anran. How could I really go shopping and eating with Zhao Zifeng?
"It doesn't matter. I can handle it easily!" Gu Fancheng lowered his head and gently bit my earlobe. "With me here, what are you afraid of..."
"Ugh! I can't stand it anymore!!" Zhao Zifeng exaggeratedly rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. "The world is so full of malice towards single dogs!!"
I blushed in embarrassment. I had a thousand questions for Gu Fancheng, but I didn't have a chance at all...
We transferred once before we reached the transfer station of Subway Line 5.
Neither Gu Fancheng nor I had a phone. Zhao Zifeng sighed while helping us get the tickets.
Holding hands with Gu Fancheng, I looked at his tall and slender back. I was completely confused. What kind of existence was he?!
Looking down at our feet, he also had a shadow, although it was much fainter than ours...
"Hey hey hey... I really can't stand you!" Zhao Zifeng had originally pointed at the poster in the transfer station for me to look at. But when she found that I was staring intently at Gu Fancheng's back, she couldn't help pinching my hand.
"Look, that's her!"
Seeing that I had finally come to my senses, Zhao Zifeng pointed at a beautiful woman smiling brightly on the poster again and said to me, "This is Wang Anran. Isn't she beautiful?!"
"Where is she?"
I looked up at the poster and found that there were two faint traces where the woman's eyes were. At the moment I looked over, two streams of thick black blood oozed out from there.
