Dong Lihua: "You didn't come yesterday, because that damn Jiang Qi and the others came back and said you were terrified. Now it's spread throughout the whole department that you haven't come to school for the past few days because you were scared to death."
Mu Wenxi: "What? I've only been gone for two or three days, what's with the fear of peeing your pants?"
Dong Lihua: "That's how rumors spread, they get more and more outrageous. They said our department's most beautiful girl is timid."
Mu Wenxi said angrily, "I'm going to settle accounts with Jiang Qi."
Dong Lihua: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Mu Wenxi: "No need."
Mu Wenxi ran to Jiang Qi's classroom door, almost losing control, and shouted while trying to suppress his anger: "Jiang Qi, come out for a moment."
Jiang Qi walked to the door and saw Mu Wenxi's face was flushed red, looking like she was about to burst into flames: "What's wrong?"
Mu Wenxi: "Is it you who said I peed my pants in fear?"
Jiang Qi scratched his head sheepishly: "Oh, is that it? I'm sorry, I only said you were scared at first, but some bastard spread it like this. I really didn't say you peed your pants from fright."
Mu Wenxi, hands on her hips, said, "You guys have gone too far."
Jiang Qi: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out like this. The rumors are getting more and more outrageous."
Mu Wenxi turned and left, saying, "Never mind."
Jiang Qi called out to her, "Let's play together again next time!"
Mu Wenxi: "Play my ass."
A girl walking by nearby whispered, "The most beautiful girl in our department is so cute."
Mu Wenxi returned to the dormitory and said to Dong Lihua, "It's solved. I'll be a pig if I go again next time."
Upon hearing this, Dong Lihua said, "Don't make promises you can't keep, or you'll easily regret it."
A month later, Yu Zhiyuan approached Mu Wenxi again.
Yu Zhiyuan skipped and hopped: "Hello!"
Mu Wenxi took two steps back, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes: "What are you doing?"
Yu Zhiyuan clung to Mu Wenxi's arm: "Hehe, our latest group has too few people, do you want to come?"
Mu Wenxi broke down: "Big sister! I beg you, please don't call me anymore. Look how scared I am. Can't you call someone else?"
Yu Zhiyuan: "Hey, if I could call someone else, I wouldn't call you. Look at me, would you really want your elementary school classmate to be in such a miserable state?"
Mu Wenxi walked away with a cold expression: "Willing to part with it."
Yu Zhiyuan pressed on: "This time it's really not scary. We're just going to explore an old house. There's really nothing to it, and no NPCs will chase you or scare you."
Mu Wenxi: "No."
Yu Zhiyuan left regretfully: "Okay."
In the evening, Mu Wenxi packed her things to go home for the weekend. When she got home, her parents were already there.
Mu Wenxi: "I'm back."
Mother Shepherd: "You're back."
Mu Wenxi: "What's good to eat today?"
Dad: "Wait until it's cooked, then you can see if it suits your taste."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, I'll go back to my room now."
Inside the room, Mu Wenxi opened the door and breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Chang'an wasn't there. She threw herself onto the bed and rolled around. She hadn't seen Xiao Chang'an for a month. It seemed he wasn't following her anymore. She wondered if he had gone with the female lead. Anyway, as long as he wasn't following her, that was fine.
During dinner, Mu's mother remembered something and said, "Oh right, remember to turn off the TV next time. Last time I left, the TV was still on."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
That night, Mu Wenxi had another dream. It was still the palace, in a magnificent hall. Xiao Chang'an stood by the window with his hands behind his back and said to Mu Wenxi, "Go to the old house."
Mu Wenxi turned around and Xiao Chang'an disappeared.
She explored the main hall, but just as she was about to step out, she suddenly woke up and sat up. Why was she dreaming about Xiao Chang'an again? He even asked her to go to the old house. What old house? Mu Wenxi ignored him and stayed comfortably at home for a day.
On Saturday night, Mu Wenxi dreamed of Xiao Chang'an for the fourth time: "Why is it you again? Are you sleeping in my dream?"
The other person, standing on the city wall, did not answer her; they seemed to be talking to someone else.
Mu Wenxi took a few steps closer to try and see their faces clearly, but Xiao Chang'an moved closer to her and said, "Let's go to the old house."
Mu Wenxi: "Why?"
Xiao Chang'an waved his hand at her, exuding a forceful aura: "Go."
Mu Wenxi got goosebumps all over. She woke up in the morning looking exhausted. The other party kept asking her to go to the old house. She felt a little wronged. Fine, I'll go, but why are they being so mean?
When Mu Wenxi returned to school in the afternoon, he ran into Yu Zhiyuan, who was coming back from getting water in the corridor. Before she could say anything, Mu Wenxi said in a surrendering manner, "Please, stop bothering me, okay? I'll go now."
Yu Zhiyuan was completely confused. She originally wanted to tell her that she had found the person, but it would be even better if Mu Wenxi agreed to go to the old house.
Jiang Qi: "Isn't she scared anymore?"
Yu Zhiyuan: "It's all because of my persistence. Last time I talked about someone behind their back, it was a good thing they didn't hit me."
Jiang Qi: "It's really not my fault. I only said that she was a coward, and I didn't say anything else. I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."
Yu Zhiyuan: "Hmph."
On the night Mu Wenxi agreed to go to the old house, she didn't dream about Xiao Chang'an anymore and finally slept well.
After Dong Lihua returned, Mu Wenxi told her the news.
Dong Lihua: "Aren't you scared anymore?"
Mu Wenxi: "I'm scared, but Yu Zhiyuan said that they went to an old house this time, not a secret room, so it's not scary. Besides, she's been bothering me several times."
Dong Lihua: "You're just too embarrassed to refuse. When the time comes, bring a flashlight to protect yourself. If you get scared, just come out quickly. Don't worry, there are no ghosts in the world."
Mu Wenxi said softly, "I do hope so."
A week later, Yu Zhiyuan gathered six people to go to the old house together. In addition to the four people from last time, there was Xia, a girl who often went to escape rooms and was particularly brave, and Lan, a boy from the same major who looked very thin.
Mu Wenxi had prepared some equipment in advance, including a flashlight, candles, and even garlic.
Xiao Chang'an, who had been hiding, let out a sneer as he watched someone forcefully take some outrageous props.
The six of them chartered a minivan. Inside, Yu Zhiyuan took out her phone and started filming herself: "Hello everyone, we're going to an old house in a certain place. I heard that this place is haunted."
Mu Wenxi, who had been dozing off in his seat, suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing the ghost story: "What did you say?"
Yu Zhiyuan moved her phone so that it could just capture Mu Wenxi's image: "Look, this is our partner, Mu Mu."
Mu Wenxi dodged the camera: "Are you live streaming? Don't film me."
Yu Zhiyuan moved her phone away: "I'm filming a vlog."
Mu Wenxi: "You just said that old house is haunted?"
Yu Zhiyuan: "It's just a rumor. Where are there any ghosts these days?"
Mu Wenxi: "Didn't you say it was just an ordinary house?"
