"I'm fine, I just wanted to go to the bathroom."

I trembled as I tried to pull my hand out.

"I'll go with you."

She stood up awkwardly, her hand still tightly gripping mine, showing no intention of letting go.

"No need, it's late. You go to sleep, I can go by myself."

I forcefully pulled my hand away and walked out the door, but to my surprise, she followed me.

I quickened my pace and hid in a stall in the restroom, locking the door. My heart was pounding in my throat.

"I'll wait outside for you."

Those words, so light and gentle, sounded different in my ears.

I didn't know who to believe anymore.

Who is she really? Why is she wearing that red string on her hand?

Could she be something other than human? If that's the case...

I looked through the gap under the door and saw that her heels were also suspended in the air!

My mind went blank, and a chill spread from my feet to my chest.

"An'an, are you okay?"

She urged me.

I didn't dare to make a sound.

"An'an, An'an!"

When she received no response from me, she started pounding on the restroom door frantically.

Fortunately, I had just locked the door.

After waiting for a while, there was no more noise outside the door.

Did she leave?

I took a deep breath, prepared to push open the door, when suddenly I felt something cool on my forehead.

What was it?

I looked up and saw Lu Qing perched on the ceiling, staring at me with bloodshot eyes. Tears dripped from her cheeks onto my head.

She stared at me and laughed, her mouth stretched wide.

"So, you're here."
