"Tick, tick, tick..."

The knocking sound continued.

Ji Xiunian couldn't ignore the sound, he just frowned and stared at the window.

He couldn't see what the scene outside was like through the curtains, but he had a feeling that it wouldn't be a warm scene.

For some reason, Ji Xiunian suddenly thought of the scene when he came out of the shower yesterday.

Lu Xu said that the curtain was accidentally opened, but he clearly heard something.

Ji Xiunian was a little unsure whether he was overthinking or Lu Xu was really hiding something from him.

He thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and reached out to press the curtain switch.

The curtains slowly opened, and the things outside were clearly visible.

Ji Xiunian didn't know how to describe this strange creature like a black mist. It was like a ball of black cotton candy that was randomly pinched into a shape. The dark body had eyes like searchlights, and the long claws were placed on the glass, knocking unconsciously.

Even though he had already accepted the fact that he could see ghosts, it was still a little strange to suddenly see such a strange thing.

Ji Xiunian couldn't help but frown, thinking that this thing was really too ugly.

The evil spirit outside looked at Ji Xiunian greedily, and opened its mouth wide and bumped into the window, obviously trying to get in.

Ji Xiunian subconsciously stepped back, but found that the evil spirit was just anxiously wandering around the window.

"Ghosts are like this, but if you don't open the door and invite them in, they won't have a chance to get close to you..."

Lu Xu's words suddenly surfaced in his ears. Ji Xiunian carefully observed the evil spirits outside and found that it seemed to be true.

He was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pressed a switch on the bedside. The curtains slowly closed, isolating the impatient evil spirit outside.

The sound of knocking on the glass still existed, and then Ji Xiunian no longer had the heart to pay attention to it.

He called the smart housekeeper to turn on the music. The volume was not very loud, and the sound of knocking on the glass could still be vaguely heard. Ji Xiunian had never encountered such a situation before. Just when he wanted to Baidu to see if there was any way to get rid of the evil spirits, two cat calls suddenly came from outside, sharp and piercing.

At the same time, the knocking sound on the glass also stopped.

Ji Xiunian recognized that it was the voice of Eighth Sister, and hurriedly opened the curtains for fear that it would be hurt.

However, when he opened the curtains, he found that the evil spirit had disappeared, and only Eighth Sister was squatting on the balcony with her back to him.

From the back, the round body looked like a ball of fur with a pair of cat ears, but this little guy squatted there like a warrior. Ji Xiunian didn't know why he felt that Eighth Sister was protecting him.

The balcony was narrow after all, and Ji Xiunian opened the window and called Eighth Sister without caring about anything else.

"Meow..." Eighth Sister, who was originally in a defensive posture, softened instantly when she heard Ji Xiunian's voice. She turned around and rubbed her head against his hand, soft and fluffy.

Ji Xiunian reached out and carried Eighth Sister back to the room, then closed the window.

"You came so late, are you worried about me?"

Usually at this time of the day, Eighth Sister would have gone to bed early, and even if she came to see him, she would just open the door. It was the first time for her to come through the window.

Although it seemed a bit unrealistic to think so, Ji Xiunian inexplicably felt that Eighth Sister came for him.

It is said that cats ward off evil spirits. Could the departure of the evil spirit have something to do with Eighth Sister?

He opened a small can of food for Eighth Sister, staring at her round body and couldn't help but fall into thought.

Just after this incident, the screen of the mobile phone suddenly lit up.

Ji Xiunian picked up the phone and found that Lu Xu had actually replied to the message -

[SS-Lu Xu: Hahaha, it's okay]

This was a reply to the "sorry" he said.

The message he sent was replied, and the previous embarrassment disappeared instantly.

Ji Xiunian sent another message to Lu Xu without thinking -

[Ji Xiunian: It's so late now, why haven't you slept yet?]

This time Lu Xu realized that it was already past midnight.

He had just gone out to collect the third order for the night. He took out his mobile phone and saw Ji Xiunian's message and replied without thinking, without paying attention to the time at all.

[SS-Lu Xu: Yeah, I didn't fall asleep just now, and now I'm still feeling sleepy]

So did he reply as soon as he saw the message? ]

Thinking of this possibility, Ji Xiunian felt a little better.

[Ji Xiunian: Then you should go to bed early. By the way, where will Eighth Sister sleep? 】

Lu Xu had just finished work and had no idea that Eighth Sister had gone to Ji Xiunian’s room. He thought he was asking where Eighth Sister slept——

【SS-Lu Xu: She’s next to my pillow. Eighth Sister is a little pig and went to bed early! 】

“…”

Ji Xiunian subconsciously looked at Eighth Sister who was squatting there eating canned food. For a moment, he even wondered if it was an evil spirit or Eighth Sister.

However, Eighth Sister is Eighth Sister, with a round body and round eyes. Just looking at the amount of food she eats, you can tell that she is not another kitten.

Strange.

Eighth Sister is clearly here, but Lu Xu said she was next to his pillow. Obviously, something is wrong.

Ji Xiunian couldn’t figure it out for a moment, so he simply took a photo of Eighth Sister and sent it to Lu Xu.

【Ji Xiunian: Does this little cat in my room look familiar? (Picture)

Lu Xu had just been busy doing his homework and was not in the dormitory, so he naturally didn't know that Eighth Sister had sneaked into Ji Xiunian's room in the middle of the night. So Ji Xiunian should have asked who Eighth Sister would live with tonight, but he just casually said that Eighth Sister was beside his pillow...

[SS-Lu Xu: Oh, I was a little drowsy just now and didn't notice that Eighth Sister had slipped away. This little guy just likes you and there's nothing I can do about it]

It seemed to make sense when he said it this way, and Ji Xiunian didn't think much about it. After a moment of hesitation, he still didn't tell Lu Xu about his encounter with the evil spirit. Seeing

a ghost was already very tired, he first thought of a solution by himself and tried not to involve Lu Xu.

The two chatted briefly, and Ji Xiunian urged Lu Xu to go to bed quickly.

Lu Xu was very accommodating, saying good night and never replying to the message.

"He must be asleep,"

Ji Xiunian thought, and finally put down his phone and prepared to go to sleep.

But I don’t know if it’s because seeing a ghost just now was too exciting or what, Ji Xiunian is not sleepy at all now.

Even with Eighth Sister watching over him, he still feels excited.

Insomnia is a very painful thing. It makes people nervous and sleepless all night, slowly stripping away a person’s happiness.

Ji Xiunian is very familiar with this state. He has tried many ways to do it, but it didn’t work. Later, he accidentally slept with Lu Xu and slept soundly for the first time in so many years.

But at this point, he couldn’t call Lu Xu to come over, and there was no reason to do so. Anyway , he

couldn’t sleep, and it was even more uncomfortable to lie down with a clear mind. Ji Xiunian thought about it and got up, put on his clothes, and prepared to go out for a walk.

The idea of ​​going out came so suddenly that he didn’t even know why.

But there was a voice telling him that he must go out tonight.

"Meow..." The eighth sister was obviously very attached to Ji Xiunian. When she saw that he was going out, she immediately followed him with small steps. The furry little fellow walked beside him, looking adorable no matter how he looked at him.

"Then I'll take you out for a walk. We'll be back to sleep in ten minutes."

It's a blessing to have a cat to accompany you when you can't sleep. Ji Xiunian thought so and took the eighth sister out.

The man and the cat walked back and forth along the corridor twice. Just as they were about to go back, they saw Fan Zeng yawning and going upstairs. Just thinking about it, they knew that this man must have stayed up late to do post-production.

"Brother Fan..." Afraid of disturbing other trainees, Ji Xiunian lowered his voice unconsciously and raised his hand to greet Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng couldn't help but look up when he heard this, holding his chest and forcing a smile at him: "Why are you still not asleep so late?"

His face was pale, and his steps were shaky when he spoke.

Ji Xiunian saw a thin layer of sweat on his face, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Brother Fan, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"It's nothing, just a little stuffy in the chest, it should be fine after a rest..." Before Fan Zeng finished the sentence, he felt a black and white in front of his eyes, and his mind was empty. Cold sweat oozed out of his pores, and his chest was stuffy and he couldn't breathe at all. He couldn't help but reach out for the wall and almost fainted in front of Ji Xiunian.

Seeing that Fan Zeng didn't look very comfortable, Ji Xiunian rushed over to support him, worried in his heart.

"Nothing, nothing. I guess I just haven't slept enough recently so I feel a little dizzy." Fan Zeng took a rest and recovered a little. He thought this was just a manifestation of lack of sleep.

In the past, Ji Xiunian would not think much of what he said, but this time he couldn't help but care -

he saw a dark aura shrouding Fan Zeng, which was a sign of impending death.
