Chapter Thirty-Two Nightmare

  "Ah!" The quiet room suddenly let out a terrified scream.

  Ouyang Bing and Ji Liang, who were leaning against the wall and had fallen asleep, woke up at the same time.

  Ouyang Bing looked nervously at Gu Mo Ning on the bed, who was motionless, so it must have been Su Xiao who made the noise.

  Su Xiao's forehead was already covered with a layer of cold sweat, her hands tightly grasping the quilt, curled up into a ball.

  Ouyang Bing furrowed her brow, looking at the terrified Su Xiao, wondering what made her so fearful. Her worried eyes turned to Gu Mo Ning, but saw that he had no reaction at all.

  Since Gu Mò Níng didn't react at all, it's likely that their fever and fainting weren't due to being scared. Sū Xiǎo's terrified expression was probably just because she had a nightmare.

  Ouyang Bing glanced at Ji Liang, thinking that since Ji Liang was taking care of Su Xiao, he didn't need to worry. He turned his gaze back to Gu Moring and reached out to touch her forehead with his hand, which was no longer hot.

  Ouyang Bing's heart finally calmed down after a night of suspense, and he gazed at Gu Mo's serene and lovely sleeping face for a while before leaning against the wall and falling asleep.

  Ji Liang looked at Su Xiao's terrified expression, tense and unable to calm down. He didn't dare wake her up, but if he didn't wake her up, she would continue to be frightened.

  Ji Liang didn't know what to do, so he looked up at Ouyang Bing for help. But Ouyang Bing stared at Gu Mo Ning for a while before falling asleep again, without even giving him a glance.

  Ji Liang had thought of waking up Ouyang Bing, but then he remembered that they were both tired from staying up late and didn't have the heart to wake her.

  Ji Liang carefully placed his hand on Su Xiao's forehead to check her temperature. She wasn't hot anymore, but she was very cold.

  Having no other choice, Ji Liang could only choose to wake up Su Xiao.

  "Hey, Su Xiao, wake up, hey, don't sleep anymore." He was shaking Su Xiao's shoulder nonstop.

  But Su Xiao showed no signs of waking up and instead burst into tears.

  Su Xiao, who had always been lively and energetic, suddenly became very fragile, causing Ji Liang's heart to ache.

  No matter how hard she shook, she couldn't wake her up. Ji Liang could only gently pick her up and comfort her, "It's okay, don't be afraid. It's all fake. I'm here."

  Although Ji Liang didn't know what Su Xiao had dreamed of, all he could do now was comfort her, hoping she would hear him in her dream and not be so scared.

  Su Xiao saw a woman with a head full of white hair and a face covered in blood, wearing a red long dress, chasing her as she ran through the experimental building.

  She kept running and running, but the woman just wouldn't stop chasing her, no matter how hard she tried to shake her off.

  She ran towards the exit of the experimental building, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach the exit. The woman behind her let out a sharp laugh, and occasionally there was the sound of heavy objects falling.

  Suddenly a heavy object fell in front of her, blocking her way. The woman's voice behind her became even sharper, and Su Xiao was so frightened that she sat down on the ground with a thud.

  She let out a scream, hugging herself tightly and burying her head in her knees, closing her eyes. But this was of no use at all, for she could still faintly see that bloody face getting closer and closer to her.

  She was afraid of low sobbing, dare not move, can only silently hold herself tighter.

  Suddenly, a voice from another world came into my ears. Yes, another world, a soothing voice that calmed the heart.

  That voice kept saying, "It's okay, don't be afraid. It's okay, those are all fake. I'm here." Fake, they're all fake.

  Su Xiao felt that there was light and warmth around her, no longer the dark coldness. She wanted to open herself up and take a look at her surroundings, but thinking of the female ghost in front of her made her lose her courage.

  Su Xiao quietly approached the warm place, strangely, she felt that the female ghost had disappeared.

  Su Xiao plucked up the courage to open her eyes, and found that everything around her was bright. There was no darkness, no female ghost, and no suffocating horror. Instead, it felt warm. Su Xiao sniffled, closed her eyes again, and fell asleep peacefully.

  The person in his arms finally calmed down and stopped crying, sleeping peacefully. Ji Liang let out a long sigh and fell asleep holding Su Xiao.

  "Ding..." At noon, Gu Mò Níng's mobile phone suddenly rang. Since the phone was right next to ōu Yáng Bīng, ōu Yáng Bīng was instantly startled awake.

  The sound of the phone had already faded away by the time it reached Qiu Liang's side, and he was still sleeping quietly.

  Gu Muer Ning was also startled awake by the sound of her phone, and with her eyes still closed, she felt around on the bed for it. Ouyang Bing turned over and picked up her clothes from beside her, took out her phone from inside them, and placed it gently next to her so that she could reach it as soon as she stretched out her hand.

  Gu Mian responded drowsily with a "hello" over the phone, and soon the voice of their class leader came from the other end.

  "Gu Merning, why didn't you and Su Xiao come to class?"

  A serious and familiar voice entered his ears, Gu Mo Ning suddenly woke up with a start.

  Class monitor, Gu Merning was so frightened that she jumped up from bed with a start, and her phone fell to the ground as she failed to hold onto it.

  Gu Mornin' was in a flurry as she went to answer the phone, but just as suddenly, the phone was caught by a pair of slender white hands and handed back to her.

  Gu Merning didn't think about the extra hand that suddenly appeared, and reflexively said "thank you" before taking the phone to talk to their class advisor.

  "Sorry, teacher. Su Xiao and I got rained on last night and accidentally caught a cold, so we didn't come to class. I forgot to ask for leave." Gu Mengning frowned tightly, worried that the teacher would tell her family, which would be troublesome.

  "How come you two are always getting sick this semester? Do you want me to tell your dad about it and have him give you some extra care, being sick all the time is not good."

  As expected. Gu Mò said hastily, "Teacher, it's nothing, don't bother about us. Su Xiao and I just weren't careful and got sick, we won't get sick again in the future."

  "Alright. Professor Gu is busy too, so it's not good to trouble him. You should also be careful and don't let your parents worry. Since you've asked for leave, take a good rest. In the future, you must be more careful, or if you get sick again, I'll feel embarrassed to face Professor Gu." "Okay, okay, thanks, class advisor."

  Gu Merning was tense and straightened her back because she was worried that the class advisor would tell her family about her illness. When she heard the class advisor say that she wouldn't tell her dad about her illness, she let out a heavy sigh, bowed down, closed her eyes, and lay on the quilt to calm herself down for a while before getting up.

  When Gu Mochen's mind was empty, the hand that had just caught her phone suddenly flashed in her mind, and she reflexively sat up and looked to the side.

  Ouyang Bing! Why is Ouyang Bing in their dorm?

  "Ah~" Gu Mò Níng suddenly shouted, Ouyang Bing hurriedly covered Gu Mò Níng's mouth with one hand and made a silencing gesture to her with the other.

  Gu Mengning stared at Ouyang Bing with a pair of innocent big eyes, and Ouyang Bing saw that Gu Mengning didn't move, so she let go of her hand.

  Gu Mianlian hastily shrank into the quilt, leaving only a pair of eyes outside, like a frightened rabbit.

  Ouyang Bing still maintained a elegant smile as she looked at Gu Mo Ning, and gently told her, "This is my home. You and Su Xiao fainted in the lab building of your school last night. It was Shen Rui who informed us to bring you here. Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some water?"

  Gu Muer's head suddenly couldn't wrap around it, with an incredulous expression looking at Ouyang Bing, then tilted her head to scan the room, only to find that it was indeed not their dormitory.
