After entering the bathroom, Cen Yu found it to be even more rudimentary than he had imagined.

The floor was simply plastered with cement, the walls were undecorated, and the only place to put clothes was a plastic bag fixed to an iron hook.

The plastic bag also had five words written on it: "Red Apple Supermarket".

It's obvious that Jiang Tuan brought it back from the supermarket.

Cen Yu slipped on his slippers, took off his dirty clothes, and hung them on the iron hook. He put his clean change of clothes in a plastic bag. Then he turned on the water heater next to him—

"Depend on!"

He was immediately jolted by the cold water, and after taking a closer look, he realized that the water heater had been forgotten to be plugged in.

"..." Cen Yu wiped the cold bathwater off his face, wondering if he had come to participate in a reality show.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yu?" Pei Hengyun outside seemed to have heard Cen Yu's cursing from the bathroom and immediately became very nervous. "Did something happen to you?"

“…It’s nothing.” Cen Yu really didn’t understand why the protagonist in a horror novel would be so afraid of ghosts.

He took a deep breath and went back under the shower.

The temperature in the mountains is already lower than outside, so even in summer, it took Cen Yu a while to get used to taking a cold shower... Then, when he was about to wash his hair, he found that the equipment in Jiang Tuan's bathroom was surprisingly simple.

There was just a bar of soap in the corner.

It seems like you need to use this for washing your hair, face, and body.

Cen Yu touched his bleached hair, knowing that washing it with this soap would definitely cause it to tangle... so he immediately looked towards the other side of the wooden door.

"Brother Pei." Perhaps because Pei Hengyun was three years older than Cen Yu, Cen Yu would always call him Brother Pei when she wanted to please him.

"Could you go get me some shampoo and conditioner? We don't have any here."

Pei Hengyun's voice sounded slightly muffled through the wooden door and the sound of water, "Then wait for me, I'll be right there."

After saying that, Cen Yu heard the other person's footsteps disappear... So Cen Yu continued to rinse himself with cold water under the shower. After a few minutes, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Brother Pei?"

Cen Yu inquired.

"Hmm." The voice responded, but perhaps because of the wooden door and the sound of water, it wasn't very clear.

When Cen Yu saw that it was Pei Hengyun, he immediately opened the wooden door a crack... and then the other party stuffed shampoo and conditioner through the crack in the door.

"Thanks," Cen Yu said, immediately closing the door.

He quickly poured shampoo onto his head and rubbed it a few times. Just then, he felt the shampoo running into his eyes, so he closed his eyes and started rinsing them with the showerhead.

It was around that time that Cen Yu suddenly sensed something was wrong.

He felt something touch his calf.

At first, he thought it was just a hallucination caused by the foam washing down and running down his calves, but when he felt what seemed like a hand caressing his calf skin in an intimate way, he immediately jumped up—

Cen Yu didn't care whether the foam would get into his eyes. He immediately opened his eyes and saw that his calves were smooth and there was nothing there.

Without that suddenly appearing hand, it was as if everything that had just happened was merely his illusion.

Cen Yu looked up. The light bulb in the bathroom was also broken, so the only light came from a small skylight overhead, and there was nothing outside the skylight...

The icy bathwater washing over Cen Yu's body gave him a strange chill down his spine.

"...Brother Pei?"

He subconsciously called out Pei Hengyun's name through the wooden door.

But there was no response from Pei Hengyun.

That shouldn't be the case. According to the other party, he should have been standing outside the door the whole time.

Cen Yu didn't dare close her eyes anymore. "Pei Hengyun?"

He continued calling the other person's name, but heard no response... Cen Yu frowned, hid half of his body behind the door, and opened the wooden door.

Then I saw He Yongning in the courtyard, seemingly talking on the phone.

The other person seemed surprised to see someone suddenly emerge from the bathroom, looking at him with some astonishment. But perhaps realizing that Cen Yu, with half his body exposed and his entire chest exposed, was not wearing any clothes, he immediately turned around, said something to the person on the other end of the phone, and then hung up.

Then he turned around and looked at Cen Yu, who was hiding behind the door, "You didn't bring any clothes?"

He couldn't think of any other reason why the other person would be hiding behind the wooden door without clothes.

"No!" Cen Yu looked at He Yongning, "When did you arrive?"

He Yongning didn't understand Cen Yu's meaning, but seeing that the man looked somewhat anxious, he thought for a moment and said, "Three minutes ago."

"Three minutes ago?"

That was after Pei Hengyun gave me the shampoo... But was that really Pei Hengyun?

Cen Yu immediately had doubts.

"When did Pei Hengyun leave?" he asked, rephrasing the question.

"Pei Hengyun?" He Yongning gave him a look that said, "He's not here."

Realizing that Cen Yu was looking for Pei Hengjun, he immediately said, "When I arrived, there was no one here."

"..."

This is a big problem.

Cen Yu cursed inwardly.

It seems the person who just delivered the shampoo really wasn't Pei Hengyun! And He Yongning said there was no one in the courtyard, which proves that no one came here at all.

Who exactly handed me the shampoo?!

Thinking about it carefully, the voice did sound somewhat deep, and it certainly didn't sound like Pei Hengyun's voice.
