The following scenes flashed by like a revolving lantern. He and He Xueqing arrived at each other's dormitory. Sure enough, only He Xueqing's bed was messy. He Xueqing seemed not to notice and found her school uniform and put it on.
Cen Yu casually tossed the clutter from his bed onto the bed opposite his, then plopped down on the edge of the bed. "Is what they're saying true?"
He Xueqing paused in her action of closing the cabinet as she turned around. "Is what's true?"
Cen Yu braced himself on the bed with both hands, still wearing He Xueqing's school uniform. "Tell me you can foresee the future."
Cen Yu took out chewing gum from his pocket and handed it to He Xueqing, "Do you want some?"
He Xueqing looked down at Cen Yu's outstretched hand, and after a while took the chewing gum from his hand, but did not immediately unwrap it. "Who told you that?"
Cen Yu blew a bubble. "That's what everyone says."
"It's said that you can predict the future."
He Xueqing looked down at the chewing gum in his hand, clutching the wrapper as if hesitating. Finally, he looked at Cen Yu and asked, "Then do you believe me?"
Just then, the bubble Cen Yu blew popped... He struggled to put the bubble back into his mouth before mumbling, "Take a look at my future first, and then I'll decide whether to believe you."
Upon hearing this, He Xueqing squatted down and looked at Cen Yu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Cen Yu subconsciously leaned back, seemingly unaccustomed to someone being so close to him.
"Don't move," He Xueqing said.
He placed his hand on Cen Yu's knee, then looked up and stared directly into Cen Yu's eyes. "You need to look at me," he said to Cen Yu.
"No crystal ball?" Cen Yu asked, "Or some kind of spell card or tarot deck?"
He said that, but he still looked at He Xueqing honestly, staring directly into her dark eyes.
He Xueqing had a pair of eyes that were almost like an abyss. Perhaps because he didn't talk much, he always gave people a gloomy impression.
Cen Yu stopped chewing his gum and stared at He Xueqing with wide eyes, as if he were having a staring contest with him.
"...Is it done?" Cen Yu asked through gritted teeth, he really didn't dare to blink at all.
“You can blink,” He Xueqing said.
Cen Yu blinked. "Then can you see my future?"
Which university did I attend?
He Xueqing hesitated now, "...I noticed that you don't seem to have gone to university."
Cen Yu: "...?"
Are you kidding me?
He almost jumped up, "How could I not have gone to college?!"
He shook He Xueqing's shoulders, "You said you were lying to me."
“You’re not allowed to do that at all.” Cen Yu stood up, preparing to leave He Xueqing’s dormitory, but He Xueqing grabbed her wrist.
"...Maybe I really can't be right." He Xueqing looked at Cen Yu, her tone somewhat ingratiating. "Shall I take another look for you?"
"Did you go to university yourself?" Cen Yu asked skeptically.
"...No, not either."
"Your prediction is purely a form of revenge against society, isn't it?" Cen Yu looked at He Xueqing, pulled her to the window, and casually pointed to someone loitering downstairs in the dormitory building. "Where is he?"
Did he go?
He Xueqing glanced at it and said, "No."
Cen Yu was puzzled. He then pulled He Xueqing to look at more than ten other people, and He Xueqing's answer was always the same: "No."
"We're doomed." Cen Yu's face showed a look of horror. "Could something have happened to our school?"
"Everyone was late on their way to the exam??"
“No,” He Xueqing said calmly, “they are all dead.”
"Huh?" Cen Yu turned to look at He Xueqing. "They're all dead?"
“Yes.” He Xueqing pointed to the people Cen Yu had just pointed to, “They are all dead.”
Cen Yu's expression was priceless. On one hand, he felt that He Xueqing was teasing him, but on the other hand, he was curious about his future. So he pointed at himself and asked, "Then me? I'm dead too?"
"...You didn't." He Xueqing looked at Cen Yu, his eyes somewhat confused, as if he didn't understand Cen Yu's state either. "You won't die."
"At least no one has died in the next year."
He Xueqing also found it difficult to explain his abilities; he simply found that when he saw certain people, many images would flash through his mind instantly.
In his first year of high school, he could only see very short moments, but this year, or more precisely, this month... he can see much more.
From his perspective, the campus in front of him was a strange scene resembling a horror movie.
In every corner he could see, there were creatures that looked like monsters.
During class, the teachers seemed normal at first, but after a while, they appeared extremely terrifying in his field of vision.
Only Cen Yu is different.
He Xueqing thought.
Not only did he have vision problems, but he also had problems with his nose.
As he approached the classroom, he could only smell a strong stench of decay and blood. The same was true in the dormitory, except for a faint woody scent emanating from Cen Yu.
He breathed in the air around Cen Yu almost greedily, because only in this way could he have room to catch his breath.
He didn't dare tell Cen Yu about these things, after all, he himself felt a bit perverted. He was like a stalker, collecting things that Cen Yu had used. Fortunately, they were about to graduate.
He Xueqing thought that he might be normal after graduation. It was probably because the pressure of studying was too great that he had a problem with his brain.
He looked at Cen Yu, thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't you think there's something wrong with my head?"
"It's alright," Cen Yu said.
"Respect everyone," he said to He Xueqing. "Even though I don't understand you, I respect you."
"I'll wash the school uniform and return it to you tomorrow."
“No need,” He Xueqing said immediately. He only explained when he saw Cen Yu looking at him, “Anyway, you’re only wearing it for a short while.”
"No need for that trouble."
Cen Yu was still a little hesitant, but after He Xueqing repeatedly said that she didn't need his help with cleaning, he finally said, "Okay."
He Xueqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After changing his clothes, he and Cen Yu walked towards the teaching building.
Along the way, He Xueqing could always feel a subtle, almost imperceptible gaze, as if they were looking at Cen Yu beside him... He hesitated for a while before finally saying to Cen Yu, "Why don't you go alone?"
"Why?" Cen Yu looked at him, puzzled. "Is there something you need?"
"No," He Xueqing quickly explained, "I was worried that you might also..."
He was unpopular at school and naturally worried that Cen Yu would be implicated because of him.
Cen Yu said nonchalantly, "It's alright, they wouldn't dare."
He Xueqing looked at him, as if she wanted to ask why.
Cen Yu smiled. "Because I really will take action."
