Lin Feiran looked at the medication. Although he didn't want to accept Gu Kaifeng's goodwill, his body felt really weak. He tore open the box of medicine and took the correct amount and also obediently drank the small bowl of warm congee until not a drop was left. After he drank, his body warmed up a lot and the chill that had lingered was gone without a trace. Lin Feiran wiped his mouth and went to sleep comfortably.
Lin Feiran didn't know how long he slept but when he woke up, the dorm room light was already turned off. A soft light shone from below; Gu Kaifeng must be using a small lamp to read a book.
Lin Feiran squinted. He wasn't fully awake. The first thing that entered his mind was the fact that his grandpa had passed, which immediately made Lin Feiran feel sad again. The second thing was that his fever seemed to have gone away and the weakness he felt before sleeping was mostly all gone. His head didn't hurt and he also didn't feel nauseous. He felt the weakness was only 'mostly' gone because it seemed as though a small part of the cold energy still lingered in his body.
Lin Feiran didn't pay attention to this and only thought that the medicine Gu Kaifeng bought was very effective. He licked his lips; his throat and mouth were very dry, so he just wanted to get up and drink some water. Suddenly, a strange male voice could be heard beside his ear—— "Wake up, wake up ah everyone, the sky is completely dark, get up high!"
"Alright, get up lah."
"So early calling people to get up......"
"The moon is shining on your asses, you lazybones!"
Lin Feiran grabbed the bedpost, sticking his head out from the upper bunk to look below...... only to see that the supposed-to-be-vacant dorm room was, since god knows when, squeezed full of people. There were probably fourteen to fifteen people - some of them standing, some sitting, and some even laying on the floor! Lin Feiran's heart couldn't take it anymore and wildly pounded - his chest almost burst apart. While he was engrossed in the shocking scene, a long haired woman who stood below Lin Feiran's bed suddenly lifted her head and stared at him.
Seeing clearly the woman's appearance for a second, Lin Feiran could feel the blood in his body freeze.
That was one heck of a horrible face.
A face with ash-grey skin and empty, pitch-black eye sockets from which a pair of white, pupilless eyeballs dangled stared horrifically in Lin Feiran's direction. Her pale grey skin was filled with crevices and holes, like a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces were incorrectly jammed together. Her entire face looked like an old, dry patch of clay, cracked to expose the dark red rotten flesh underneath......
Ghosts! I just saw ghosts!
This clear, cold realization was like a devastating bomb that exploded in Lin Feiran's heart, spreading dread that instantly tore apart his sanity!
Lin Feiran thought that he was screaming but no sound actually came out, as if his throat was sealed with fear. His whole body froze for a few seconds like a clay statue before abruptly springing into action.
Lin Feiran got out of the bed in a very simplified manner: he supported himself on the bedpost with one hand, pushed off of the mattress, and jumped straight from the upper bunk to stomp heavily onto the floor.
"AAAAAAAAAH!" The female ghost that almost made Lin Feiran's heart stop out of fear stepped back and complained loudly: "What are you doing so suddenly ah! Scaring me to death!"
Lin Feiran then pounced onto Gu Kaifeng's bed and he actually wanted to retort——go to your old man! Between us, who exactly is scaring whom to death!?
The person who was reading a book on the lower bunk, Gu Kaifeng, was also startled. His roommate who had been sleeping on the upper bunk, without rhyme or reason, suddenly jumped down without a word and pounced on his body......
"What's with you?" Gu Kaifeng asked unhappily as his face sank.
Lin Feiran was completely straddling Gu Kaifeng's thighs. His two arms hugged his archnemesis's upper body with enough strength to strangle him, embracing him with all his might. His chest was hyperventilating as it pressed tightly against Gu Kaifeng's chest, and his hysterical heartbeat could be felt through his thin body.
"Wuu......" a weak moan came out of Lin Feiran's throat, just like the sound of a small animal.
Gu Kaifeng's mind went blank for a moment, the hand that was planning to push Lin Feiran away hanging stiffly in the air. His tone became much warmer and he asked again: "What is it?"
"Wuahh......" Lin Feiran whimpered again. Since the moment he lunged onto Gu Kaifeng's bed, he actually wanted to yell loudly: "There are ghosts!", but the strange thing is, no matter what, he couldn't say those three words! It's as if he was suddenly mute. Even if he worked hard to move his tongue and vocal cords, the sounds that he managed to squeeze out were all moans......
Lin Feiran's voice cracked as he howled: "Fuck! I'm a mute!"
Gu Kaifeng: "...... I can hear you."
How am I able to speak again? Lin Feiran was embarrassed and started to talk again: "In the dorm room......" However, the three words, "there are ghosts, " still got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
Even if I can't speak, I can still use my finger ah...... Lin Feiran didn't think further into the reason he lost his voice; he only wanted to make Gu Kaifeng immediately aware of the strange things happening in their dorm room. Lin Feiran closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to point in the general direction of the ghosts, feeling ill at heart.
The loud noises and the many "people" in the dorm room — why was Gu Kaifeng acting like he didn't know about them at all?
Hearing Gu Kaifeng's answer confirmed Lin Feiran's doubts. Gu Kaifeng had looked in the direction in which Lin Feiran was pointing and calmly asked: "What are you pointing at?"
Lin Feiran, who hadn't dared to open his eyes since he lunged himself into Gu Kaifeng's embrace, carefully and cautiously let go of Gu Kaifeng and slowly opened his eyes into a slit...... The dorm room was back in its usual state: there was no female ghost and there were also none of those strange people who until just now were making quite a ruckus.
There was nothing.
"...... Huh?" Lin Feiran was stupefied again. He was straddling Gu Kaifeng's thighs and his hands were both laying on Gu Kaifeng's chest. A pair of beautiful eyes opened wide and round, cautiously looking around like a vigilant little hamster.
Gu Kaifeng stared for a moment and asked in a rarely heard and almost gentle tone: "Did you have a nightmare?"
The crazy ghosts are finally here!
Gu Kaifeng is so sweet
