She texted Sister Liu to inquire about the situation.
A while passed.
I just received a reply.
Lan Yanzhi looked at the smiling face in the message.
I find it somewhat puzzling.
Her best friend never uses emojis.
Lan Yanzhi dialed her friend's number: "Hey, I've made my first rouge. Where are you now? I'm coming to find you."
A buzzing sound came from the phone.
It sounds like an old-fashioned tape recorder is working.
"At school, in a very bright place... No, come any closer."
Hearing her friend's strange voice, Lan Yanzhi rubbed her arms, only noticing the last two words.
She looked in the direction of Tsinghua University.
The car turned sharply.
Heading towards the Tsinghua University gate.
Based on the location information from her previous chat with Sister Liu, Lan Yanzhi arrived at Professor Pei's location.
Today happens to be a weekend, and it's fortunate that she made an online reservation seven days in advance, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get in.
Lan Yanzhi wrapped her fluffy cloak tighter: "If I had known I would have to come to pick her up, I would have come with her from the beginning."
She passed by a birch forest.
While marveling at the beautiful scenery.
I was thinking of picking them up and taking a picture when I got back.
Thinking and pondering.
When Lan Yanzhi arrived at the elevator, she found that the elevator was malfunctioning, so she had no choice but to go up the stairs.
On the second floor.
She saw an old man.
Time has etched a hunched look onto the old man's face, and he is dressed in a white research coat.
The old man was bent over so that his face was not visible.
If Lan Yanzhi had watched her friend's live stream, she would have known that Professor Pei was wearing the exact same white lab coat as the old man.
Out of politeness.
Lan Yanzhi wanted to help the old man.
The old man waved his hand.
She pointed to Lan Yanzhi's sachet handbag.
Blue Rouge happily introduced, "You can smell my rouge fragrance too? I named it Blue Rouge."
She took out the rouge box.
As soon as I opened it.
The old man took out a few red bills from his pocket.
He handed it to Lan Yanzhi.
Blue Rouge asked in confusion, "You want to buy my rouge?"
The old man's eyes darkened.
She smiled and nodded.
Lan Yanzhi handed the rouge in her hand to the old man: "No need to buy it, it's a gift for you."
The old man insisted on giving the money to Lan Yanzhi.
Three rounds of back-and-forth exchange.
Desperate to find someone, Lan Yanzhi compromised.
She put the money away and went upstairs.
They hadn't walked more than a few steps.
Lan Yanzhi politely turned around and waved, only to see the old man's sinister smile.
She thought she had misread it.
But then the old woman transformed into a young girl in the prime of her life.
Lan Yanzhi screamed, "Ahhh—"
Professor Pei reached out to Lan Yanzhi.
Before Lan Yanzhi lost consciousness, she felt a giant spoon stirring in her mind.
It made her wish she were dead.
