Zhang Wen was shaking all over, neither I nor Zhang Wen responded. Suddenly a voice came from bed number four:

"Yeah. But it's not too late, is it?"

I lowered my head to take out my phone to message the counselor, but Chen Luoluo stopped me before I could even unlock it.

I didn't know when Chen Luoluo had come to my side. One hand held my phone while the other pressed on my arm.

It was summer, and I was wearing short sleeves. The dormitory didn't have air conditioning, and Chen Luoluo's hand was ice cold. When she pressed it against my arm, it sent a shiver down my spine.

"What are you doing? You want to help her find backup again?"

Her eyes were icy, making me instinctively step back until my back was against the door. Chen Luoluo suddenly smiled:

"What's there to be afraid of?"

I cursed inside. What is there to be afraid of? Of course, it's you!

In the end, I still messaged the counselor. When the counselor came and saw Chen Luoluo, she paused for a moment, then, just like last night, stood by bed number four. But before leaving, she stood next to Chen Luoluo and asked:

"Is this your choice?"

Chen Luoluo remained silent.

That night when I was about to sleep, I heard knocking sounds, but at first, I wasn't sure.

When I opened my eyes slightly and looked down through the bed curtains, I saw a figure kneeling in the dormitory. The "person" was wearing red pants, kneeling on the ground and knocking their head repeatedly while murmuring:

"I beg of you. I won't ask who took it, I just beg of you, can you please give it back to me?

"Please?

"Please?"

The voice grew louder, as if slowly approaching my ears. I watched as the figure kneels on the ground, slowly turning towards me at an alarming speed.

Just as I was about to scream out of fear, Chen Luoluo suddenly spoke:

"Are you crazy or something?"

The knocking stopped, and the "person" seemed to shrink back.

Then the "person" unsteadily stood up and walked towards the balcony. As they passed by my bed, I faintly heard sobbing.

Chen Luoluo shouted again:

"Why are you crying? If you want to cry, go cry outside!"

Next, I saw a pair of feet through the gap in the curtain, the same feet as yesterday.

I turned over and closed my eyes, feeling a coldness enveloping me, as if something icy was touching my face.

"Why won't you help me? I treated you so well."

At that moment, I heard a crackling sound, like the noise of breaking instant noodles. Chen Luoluo scolded again:

"It's so late, and you're still eating! Did the boss not give you leftovers from the clients today?"

There seemed to be sobbing coming from bed number four, then bed number four spoke:

"It's not that late now. None of us have slept yet."

Chen Luoluo turned over with a lot of noise.

"Blind? I've slept!"

As soon as Chen Luoluo spoke, the sensation near my face disappeared.

My phone, which was on the bedside table, lit up. I picked it up and saw a private message from Zhang Wen:

"Don't you think that person is actually Chen Luoluo?"

Yeah, that person was definitely not Chen Luoluo.

Chen Luoluo came from a well-off family, her parents were in business. Although she had a bit of arrogance, she wouldn't disrespect others to this extent.

This "person" was just wearing Chen Luoluo's skin.

It seemed like neither Zhang Wen nor I had broken any rules, so that night passed without any incidents.

When I woke up the next morning, I found another red plastic bag on the table. I glanced at it and saw it contained a steamed bun and some pickles, just like before.

Next to the plastic bag, there was a note folded in a corner. The note read:

"Why won't you help me too?"
