The four of them were standing in the courtyard. Although He Yongning hadn't discussed this topic with the other three, he wasn't stupid and immediately understood what Cen Yu meant.
—The shampoo that Pei Hengyun had been searching for was suddenly found in the bathroom.
But at this moment, there were only the four of them in the courtyard. Cen Yu was taking a shower in the bathroom and did not leave.
Pei Hengyun was looking for shampoo and went to find Jiang Tuan, while he himself was on the phone the whole time...
Everyone has an alibi... He Yongning looked at Cen Yu, considered for a moment, and asked, "Did you bring the shampoo with you earlier?"
"Are you kidding me?" Cen Yu said, frowning.
He stood behind the wooden door. It was almost 7 o'clock, and the sky was getting dark. In addition, he was wearing very little clothing, and the temperature in the mountains was low, so he felt a chill all over. He did not hide from the crowd, or perhaps he was indeed frightened by the strange thing that had just happened.
After drying off the water droplets under everyone's gaze, she put on a clean T-shirt and underwear before stepping out of the bathroom in slippers.
“I heard someone knocking on the door when I was in the bathroom.” He walked out of the bathroom and immediately pointed to the wooden door. “I thought it was Pei Hengyun.”
He paused for a moment, and sure enough, he saw Pei Hengyun's deathly pale face.
The other party was probably quite frightened by this sudden event.
He clearly didn't come to the courtyard, so how could someone be knocking on Cen Yu's bathroom door?
"I called his name, and he responded." Cen Yu said, draping a towel over his head, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
He glanced at the three people in front of him, and saw that each of them looked somewhat surprised.
Pei Hengyun turned pale with fright, He Yongning frowned, seemingly thinking that Cen Yu was talking nonsense, while Jiang Tuan was even more confused.
Cen Yu didn't care and continued talking.
“I was taking a shower at the time, and the sound of the water, combined with the wooden door, made it not very clear.” He pointed to the wooden door. “Now that I think about it, that voice really didn’t sound very similar to Pei Hengyun’s.”
He Yongning looked at Cen Yu, "When?"
“Three or four minutes ago,” Cen Yu said to He Yongning, “when you were in the yard.”
“But I didn’t see anyone else in the yard,” He Yongning said instinctively.
He realized that Cen Yu probably wasn't lying... otherwise, the other person wouldn't have immediately opened the bathroom door and asked him who else had just come to the yard.
He pondered for a moment and then immediately asked, "What else did you see in the bathroom?"
Upon hearing He Yongning's words, Pei Hengyun looked as if he was about to faint from fright. He hurriedly grabbed Cen Yu's arm, "Xiao Yu... did you see something else?"
"Meddlesome," Cen Yu muttered, cursing He Yongning for being nosy.
The reason he hadn't mentioned anything else in the bathroom was because, seeing how terrified Pei Hengyun was, he figured if he kept talking, the other person might faint from fright.
He patted Pei Hengjun on the shoulder, "Why don't you cover your ears first?"
Jiang Tuan also realized that something was wrong. He glanced at his bathroom, "...but I shower here every day."
Logically, if there were any strange occurrences, he should have been the first to notice them.
Pei Hengyun hesitated for a moment, but still didn't cover his ears. "Xiao Yu, just say it." He nestled next to Cen Yu. "I'm not afraid."
"You'll regret it."
As Cen Yu spoke, he calmly recounted his recent ordeal under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"When I was washing my hair with my eyes closed, I felt someone touching my calf."
He pointed to his calf.
"He just rubbed them up and down like that." Seeing that Pei Hengyun next to him was terrified, he simply reached out and covered the other's ears before continuing.
"When I opened my eyes, there was nothing there." He looked at He Yongning. "Then I opened the door and asked you if you had seen anything just now?"
He Yongning remained silent, and Jiang Tuan's expression was also grim, though he wasn't as frightened as Pei Hengyun.
But anyone would feel uneasy hearing that such a strange thing had happened in the place where they usually shower.
As for Pei Hengyun, he had already buried his face in Cen Yu's arms, seemingly too frightened to speak.
"What do you think it is?" He Yongning was arguably the calmest person besides Cen Yu. He looked at Cen Yu and asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"What do I think it is?" Cen Yu certainly remembered the character setting for this level.
He tried to explain it using scientific methods, but it didn't make any sense.
Unless he orchestrated this whole thing himself, hiding the shampoo in his spare clothes and taking it to the bathroom, it wouldn't make sense why the shampoo would suddenly disappear and then reappear.
—But then again, this novel wasn't written from the perspective of a cannon fodder character like him.
From Pei Hengyun and He Yongning's perspective, it's more likely that Cen Yu orchestrated this whole thing... Anyway, Cen Yu's persona is that of a con artist streamer. Thinking of this, Cen Yu said to He Yongning, "Whatever you think it is."
He deliberately adopted a mysterious and cryptic attitude.
Seeing that Pei Hengyun was quite frightened, he immediately prepared to take him back to rest.
Pei Hengyun said weakly to Cen Yu, "...I'm just a little too scared."
If you're so scared, how are we going to handle the rest of the story?
Cen Yu clicked his tongue in amazement, after all, starting from the class reunion tomorrow, a series of strange things would happen.
He led Pei Hengyun back to the room. Perhaps because it was cool in the mountains, the room was not warm at all, even with only the fan on. A bamboo mat was laid on the double bed. After helping Pei Hengyun sit on the bed, Cen Yu prepared to leave.
