Chapter 7 School Rumors (1)

  The owner of the footsteps was none other than Li Yiqian, who shared a dormitory with Su Jiner. Although they were roommates, Su Jiner always felt that there was something not quite right about her, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was. She was always alone and didn't like to talk, but whenever she did speak, it was always about ghosts and gods and other supernatural things. In the dormitory, she would often scare Lin Yuan and Du Xiaonan with her stories, and because of this, they would often get scolded by their dorm mother.

  "Why aren't you doing your experiment in our lab building? Why did you have to run all the way here?" Su Jiner said with a smile.

  "Oh! I've come to ask Teacher Zhang some questions."

  "Then, have you found anything unusual here, such as tomato sauce?" Su Jiner asked tentatively. If there really was a body here, Li Yiqian, who conducted experiments here, couldn't possibly not know.

  "There's no ketchup, but just now I heard a scream here, and then saw someone rushing downstairs quickly. I think this person should be our Miss Xu!" Li Yiqian's smile had an obvious mocking tone.

  "I see dead people here, of course I'm scared!" Xu Lingling said, unwilling to back down.

  Li Yi-qian's face changed slightly, then she smiled and said: "How is that possible? I've been here all along, how could I not have seen a dead person? Are you seeing things?"

  Xu Lingling wanted to say something else when she was pulled back by Chu Feifan: "Oh! Maybe she just saw things, it's nothing, let's go, you continue with your experiment!"

  Throughout the whole process, Zuo Yi didn't say a word. Li Yi Qian felt it was very strange. He had been observing her expression all along and couldn't see any other emotions except for a slight change in complexion when she heard about the dead person.

  Just as they turned to go downstairs, Li Yi Qian's voice came from behind: "You're so afraid of dead people, how can you be a doctor in the future? The morgue in medical school is full of corpses, what's the big deal about seeing dead people? You scared me and I accidentally cut my hand."

  Su Jiner only then noticed that Li Yiqian's index finger was wrapped with a band-aid.

  Xu Lingling was really infuriated, she said to her: "What's the big deal about cutting your finger? When doctors hold scalpels, cutting their hands is a common occurrence, what's there to be so shocked and alarmed about?"

  "You..."

  Li Yi-qian's whole body trembled with anger and she turned around and left.

  "Women are formidable!" Zuo Yi said with his arms crossed over his chest.

  "We must go and see if Xu Mengguang is still there."

  Su Jin'er didn't go listen to their argument at all, she said anxiously.

  "Do you think there's something wrong?"

  "I don't know, I just feel uneasy." Then she smiled at Chu Fei Fan and said: "It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much."

  As he gazed at her smile, he had a moment of panic. He wished she could smile at him carefree for the rest of her life, but her pale complexion worried him.

  Xu Lingling looked at Chu Feifan, who had been caring about Su Jiner all along, and said somewhat angrily: "Actually, the reason I didn't tell the police is that I think this kind of thing can't be solved by the police at all."

  "Why did you say that?" Upon hearing her words, everyone shifted their gaze onto her, and Zuo Yi furrowed his brow in inquiry.

  "It was originally like that! I heard that this experimental building is haunted, and the rumors spread in the college are terrifying, so it was sealed."

  At this time, they had already walked out of the experimental building.

  "There isn't a medical school that doesn't have such rumors! We've all just heard about it, but haven't seen it with our own eyes, so I don't believe it." Zuo Yi shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

  "But this thing seems to be true?" Xu Lingling said pitifully, as if to illustrate the truth of the matter, she also looked back at the experimental building with a frightened expression.

  "You're not saying that a woman died in here and then became a vengeful spirit to haunt this place, are you?" Zuo Yi said, placing his hand behind his head and gazing up at the sky.

  "You're right, but it's not that I don't know the reason, it's just that I do know the reason." She leaned in close to Chu Fei Fan, as if this would make her less afraid.

  Su Jiner rubbed her temples, feeling a bit annoyed. She didn't want to know these things because they had nothing to do with her.

  "I'll go first, I've wasted so much time, I don't want to be late on the first day of class, and Lin Yuan won't be able to find me and will get anxious."

  She waved her hand and left without even noticing Chu Fei Fan calling out behind her.

  No matter how the woman Xu Lingling talked about died, or how she haunted the experimental building, it had nothing to do with her. She came here just to study hard, and other things didn't matter.

  As expected, what she said was not wrong at all. In the classroom, Lin Yuan couldn't find her. At this time, she was standing at the door of the classroom, anxiously looking around everywhere, and quickened her pace to walk over.

  As soon as he saw her, Lin Yuan quickly walked over, looking at her angrily and saying: "Where did you run off to? I couldn't find you anywhere, it worried me to death."

  "Sorry, something happened on the way, so I was delayed."

  "You're so big and still running around, I was thinking of letting you take the seat! Now it's all gone, the front seats are all taken, we can only sit in the back now." Lin Yuan said unwillingly with a pout.

  "When did I ever tell you I wanted to sit in the front?"

  Having said that, Su Jin'er didn't wait for her response and walked straight into the classroom.

  The moment she walked into the classroom, her arrival still caused a stir. The originally noisy classroom fell silent in an instant, and almost everyone stared straight at the girl standing by the door. She seemed to be unaware of her own beauty, quietly standing there with her white windbreaker, black long hair, and delicate angel-like face, accompanied by a faint smile.

  "How beautiful!" Finally, a voice that was neither loud nor soft broke the silence.

  Lin Yuan seemed satisfied with the result, but she still had a sour look on her face and said: "This young lady may not be as beautiful as a closed moon flower, but I'm enough to attract a group of ants. However, by your side, I can only be a accompanying green leaf!"

  Su Jiner glared at her and said: "Go find a seat quickly, stop talking nonsense."

  "Hehe!"

  They found a corner spot and sat down, from here they could see clearly what was going on in front of them, so they wouldn't miss anything.

  "Right, you mentioned earlier that something happened on your way here, what was it?"

  "It's actually nothing, just a false alarm." She said lightly while flipping through her book.

  Lin Yuan shrugged her shoulders. She knew that by answering this way, she was indicating that she didn't want to say anything more. Even if he continued asking, it would be useless, so she just closed her mouth and looked at her own book.

  "Hey! Have you guys heard? It seems like school has opened up room 414 in building 4 today!" a student whispered.

  "Impossible! How come we haven't heard about something so big?" another student replied.

  "Is it true?! I heard four girls have moved in too, wonder what will happen this year!"

  "Stop talking nonsense, nothing has happened in these years, it should be fine. The school sealed this matter so tightly, it's not good if others hear about it!"

  Lin Yuan, who heard them talking, couldn't help but perk up his ears. He was still very interested in these strange gossips. When he heard them mention 414, he perked up his ears even more curiously.

  Isn't room 414 in building 4 their dormitory? Is there some news inside?

  She leaned forward, patted the shoulder of a student in the front row and curiously asked: "Excuse me, classmate, what happened to room 414 that you were talking about just now?"

  The girl turned her head, looked at Lin Yuan, and then looked at Su Jin'er who was sitting next to her, quietly reading a book. She said in a low voice: "This matter is very confidential. If the school finds out what we're discussing, we'll definitely be severely punished."

  "Aren't you freshmen in your first year?"

  "Really!"

  "If the school didn't let it spread, how did you know?"

  The girl thought for a moment and said: "There's a senior in our dormitory who told us."

  "Then tell me! I'll let you in on a secret." Lin Yuan leaned in close to the girl and said, "I'm actually from that dormitory too!"

  "What?" The girl and the girl who had just spoken to her looked at Lin Yuan in terror together.

  Lin Yuan was also startled by their gaze, she shrunk her neck, but still looked at the two girls very seriously and nodded.

  "If others don't want to say it, then don't force them to," Su Jiner said softly.

  At this time, several people walked in from outside the door. They were Chu Fei Fan and others. The arrival of Chu Fei Fan and Zuo Yi was also naturally sensational, but this time it caused a burst of screams. Needless to say, these screams all came from the girls.

  Chu Fei Fan saw Su Jin Er sitting in the back, she was seriously reading a book, even when everyone else was screaming, she didn't lift her head up. Chu Fei Fan looked at her with some disappointment, but still walked straight over to this side.

  Just now, two girls who were still afraid of the 414 dormitory incident were excitedly watching the two handsome guys walking towards them.

  "Hey! You guys are also taking classes here?" Zuo Yi looked at them with a smile, his eyes narrowing into a slit, very charming.

  "Ah!" Lin Yuan smiled and replied, they had already met before, so she wasn't very excited. Her mind was still thinking about the rumor of 414, so she didn't care about their arrival at all.

  Su Jin'er also smiled faintly and continued reading her book.

  They sat behind him, while Chu Fei Fan looked at Su Jin Er with a somewhat melancholic gaze.

  Lin Yuan was still intently inquiring about the rumors of 414.

  "Come on, just tell me!"

  That girl, with her head down and biting her lip, said: "Okay! But class is already in session now, so let's talk about it after school. However, you mustn't spread the word! Because this matter has been settled for several years, it shouldn't happen again, and senior sister was just telling us a story."

  Lin Yuan nodded his head like a little chick pecking at rice.
