The next day, the aunt in the library saw Si Yu and was slightly surprised. When she visited yesterday, there was clearly no one there. He kept thinking back to that ghost from last night. He was really afraid after thinking about it, but luckily that ghost didn't eat him, and swore that he would never come back to the library again.
After returning to the dorm, Xu Mo had already been absent for a few days. After taking off her clothes and entering the bathroom, she took a shower, since today was the weekend, there was nothing much to do. Si Yu originally wanted to return home, but after the incident last night, all she wanted to do now was to sleep in the dorm and fill her stomach.
This time, he clearly saw what he really was, it was a boy, but still couldn't see his appearance. He felt that even though this person was standing in front of him, he was also very clear, but the look of his face couldn't be seen, but somehow, he felt like a person.
Just as he was about to speak to that ghost in his dream, Si Yu was woken up by the phone bell and saw that it was his senior's call.
"Senior." Si Yu had slept soundly for a long time. His mind was in a state of chaos and he didn't check the time on his phone. The curtains were drawn back, and he didn't know what time it was.
Si Yu's voice was a little hoarse, it sounded like willow branches rubbing against each other. Chu Ran said, "Are you sleeping?"
He still wasn't completely awake, plus he was a little angry from getting up. Si Yu said in a spoiled manner, "En."
"Alright, then I won't disturb you anymore. Remember to eat dinner later." The corner of Chu Ran's mouth rose. She imagined Si Yu, who was still lying on the bed, not willing to get up, thinking that it must be really cute and sexy.
Dinner? She had only slept for a short while, why would dinner be served already? Hearing Chu Ran say dinner, Si Yu immediately became clear-headed, and staggered out of the bed to pull the curtains. Indeed, it was evening, and there was a light drizzle outside.
"Senior, I was just dreaming. I thought it was morning." Si Yu scratched his head, his smooth hair was a bit messy from scratching. Today, he was wearing a short brown pajamas with a large collar, revealing his long legs, slender white collarbones, and messy hair. He looked very lazy and sexy.
When he heard the fatigue in Si Yu's words, Chu Ran asked with a pained tone, "What's wrong?"
"He was locked up in the library last night." Si Yu said, his mind thinking back to that ghost in the library.
"Blocked up all night?" "What's going on?" Chu Ran asked in shock. The lights in the library were extinguished at night, so it was really hard to imagine how Si Yu, the timid one, managed to get here by herself.
No one knew that after being locked up in the library for one night, Si Yu was like a child on the ground facing Chu Ran's intense concern. When everyone was worried, he would get up, and the more people there were, the harder they would cry.
Si Yu said with a bit of grievance, "I forgot the time while I was reading. The patrolling staff didn't see me. My phone just happened to be out of battery."
"Next time, be careful of the time. You must be scared." He remembered he was almost locked in the library the last time, and didn't have much memory of what happened. Chu Ran continued, "The next time you go to the library to read a book, tell me, I'll remind you when it's time for you to go back."
"Yes, yes." Si Yu mysteriously continued, "Senior, do you know that one is in the library?"
"Which one?" Chu Ran asked in confusion.
"It's something from the movie." Si Yu didn't mention that word. A person's cowardice could be reflected anywhere.
"Haha, have you been scared silly? Where is that thing?" Chu Ran said disapprovingly, a little girl like Si Yu liked to think about things other than being timid. The more she thought about it, the more timid she became.
"It's true." Seeing that Chu Ran thought he was joking, Si Yu said angrily.
Seeing that Si Yu was slightly angry, Chu Ran asked in a serious tone, "What's going on, tell me."
"There's always a noise coming from the end of the fifth floor's reading room. I don't agree to talk to him, and there's nothing else. Is that it?" Si Yu earnestly described to Chu Ran, afraid that he would say something wrong.
"Maybe it's the wind." Chu Ran explained that he did not believe that there would be such a thing.
Si Yu said with certainty, "No, it's the sound coming from inside the room. It's very quiet. I definitely won't hear wrongly."
"Then what did you do?" Chu Ran didn't want to know if this was a trick or not, because there were no ghosts or gods. He actually wanted to know what Si Yu, such a timid person, would do when he encountered a ghost.
Si Yu thought for a moment and said, "You're so scared that you don't even dare to breathe anymore. The scenes from the movie surfaced in your mind. You're definitely going to die today, and you even thought of leaving some last words for you."
"You think so much? At that time, you probably didn't even have the ability to think anymore. " Chu Ran of course, understood Si Yu. He knew that Si Yu had a lot of face and would definitely not tell him the truth about how scared he was.
Si Yu scratched the back of his head and said, "Okay, I was very scared when I was seen through by my senior. At that time, my mind was filled with terrifying scenes, but later on, no zombies came out, I think they must be some unlucky ones. I thought I could do a good deed and then ran over to talk to them."
"How do you know he can understand you?" Chu Ran asked curiously, seeing how Si Yu was so sure of himself.
Si Yu replied, "I speak Mandarin. I speak dialect and English."
Chu Ran couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect Si Yu to have such a cute side to him, and it was fortunate that she was able to think of three languages.
"What if he doesn't understand all three?" Chu Ran deliberately asked.
"That's impossible. If that's the case, he definitely won't come looking for me because we can't communicate." Si Yu said.
It had to be said that Si Yu's logic was rather good, but it was built on some kind of absurd foundation. Chu Ran had truly been defeated by Si Yu's cuteness.
In the end, Chu Ran said seriously: "Actually, there's nothing like what you said. The noise it makes might be the rats in the library."
"Why?" Si Yu asked in confusion. Shouldn't rats eat rice?
"Last time, the Student Union even organized books to help the library fix it. Recently, many of the books have been eaten by rats." Chu Ran explained.
"Is that for real?" Siyu suddenly felt like a fool. So she was just a mouse, she always thought that cats and mice were very cute, but Si Yu didn't know how disgusting and annoying mice were in reality.
"It's true, don't scare yourself." Chu Ran said.
Si Yu suddenly felt very embarrassed. That's right, how could the twenty-first century be so feudal and superstitious? It seemed that he should stop reading those useless books.
"I've decided not to watch any horror movies from now on. There are no ghosts. It turns out it's just a rat." Si Yu said somewhat angrily. He felt that he had talked to the air last night, and even said so much, but the content was still so absurd. He felt that there was no place for him to put his face.
"Hmm, it's getting late, let's go eat." Chu Ran reminded her repeatedly as he thought about how she hadn't eaten for an entire day with a pained heart.
"Yes, yes. I'll go out after I change. Did you eat, senior?" As Si Yu spoke, he walked to the wardrobe and took out a thick shirt and jacket. It was already quite cold in November.
Si Yu placed his phone on the bed and turned on the loudspeaker, while changing his clothes, he talked with Chu Ran. Si Yu liked to talk with the speaker on as he worked, saving time.
The change in quality of the voice on the other end of the phone, as well as the sound of breaking into pieces, Chu Ran already knew what Si Yu was doing.
After putting on his clothes, Si Yu picked up the phone and turned off the loudspeaker. "It's getting colder and colder now. You can't wear a dress anymore." Then he went to the cloakroom and ran a hand through his hair in the mirror.
"Mm, it's time to wear the long johns." Chu Ran said.
Si Yu snorted with laughter. Thinking about how he had blurted out the underwear from Chu Ran's serious mouth, Si Yu felt it to be funny.
He naughtily asked, "Senior, are you wearing long johns now?" While he was studying in Britain, Si Yu discovered that foreigners did not wear long johns. In the whole world, only China and Korea wore long johns.
Chu Ran paused, obviously not expecting Si Yu to ask such a question, and replied, "Not yet."
Si Yu started to giggle on the other end of the phone. Chu Ran rubbed his nose.
"You know, when I was a kid, I always thought boys didn't wear long johns." Si Yu continued.
"And then?" Chu Ran asked.
"Later in junior high school, one of the boys in my class said that he had to wear three long autumn pants in the winter." As he spoke, Si Yu laughed.
Chu Ran rubbed his nose again. The other method was to wear it when you were cold, and would not let yourself be cold. However, boys were not as afraid of cold as girls, so the impression that boys gave to everyone was that they wore very little clothes, which gave them a very graceful feeling. In reality, boys were not fat because they did not wear clothes like girls, who would be bloated if they only wore a little.
"Actually, I'm wearing it too." Chu Ran said.
A silence came from the other end of the phone, "But senior always needs to wear so much since his hands are very hot."
Chu Ran replied: "It's precisely because you wear more that your hands are hot, but boys are colder than girls, so you have to wear more."
"But I'm wearing too much. I'm so fat, I'm not good-looking." Si Yu said.
Chu Ran naturally understood the girl's love for beauty. However, sometimes he felt that girls who wore it in winter were just like fat kids, who also listened to cute words.
"Anyway, keep warm. Don't freeze yourself to such a degree." Chu Ran said.
"Yes, senior. I'm at the cafeteria now." Si Yu carried a small azure flower umbrella and walked towards the entrance of the cafeteria.
"Alright, eat more tonight. Be careful when you go back. Call me if you need anything." Chu Ran said, then waited for Si Yu to hang up.
Time passed by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, there were only a few days left until New Year's Day. New Year's Day Party was also in the process of being prepared. Clothing props had all been prepared.
