CHAPTER 649: CHAPTER 648: UNLUCKY URGING

"Maybe I should just take a shower."

"Then wait a minute!"

Han Mingyue said, bundled up the clothes he had found for himself, and placed them on the bedside table!

Zhen Yu was taken aback by this.

Then she saw Han Mingyue squat down and pull out a white T-shirt from the lower layer of the cabinet! Less than a second later, he pulled out a pair of black sweatpants.

"Just make do with these!" After getting up and handing over the clothes to Zhen Yu, Han Mingyue hurried off with his own change of clothes.

Watching Han Mingyue disappear at the doorway, Zhen Yu suddenly felt that the clothes in her hands were somewhat hot to the touch!

But fortunately, they were just meant to be pajamas, and Zhen Yu felt she could just barely manage.

Just as she was about to get up and walk out, the door was suddenly pushed open a crack! Immediately after, Han Mingyue’s voice drifted through the gap in the door...

"Jiaoyang and I are going back to our room! Go and wash up! Just call out for me when you’re done!"

"Oh! Got it."

After Zhen Yu responded, she intentionally waited a few seconds on the spot before pulling open the door and walking out, only to find the living room already empty.

-----

After Zhen Yu brushed her teeth and took her bath, she went straight back to her room, and then sent a text message to Han Mingyue using her phone.

"I’m all set, you guys can go ahead!"

The reason she chose to do this was solely because Han Mingyue’s pants were too long!

Not only did they drag on the ground when she wore them, but the waist was also so loose that she had to hold them up! She herself felt incredibly ugly, looking like she was wearing water-filled pants.

In such a state, Zhen Yu wouldn’t want Han Mingyue and his brother to see her for anything!

After sending the message, noises soon came from outside the room.

It must be the Han Family Brothers going to wash up...

Zhen Yu’s hair was still not dry after her shower, so she couldn’t go to bed yet!

So she propped herself up against the head of the bed, took out her drawing brushes and white paper from her space, and decided to take advantage of the time she had now to quickly sketch out a rough outline for the Hanfu brand’s logo!

After all, if some things stay in one’s head for too long, they might be forgotten...

In the meantime, she also connected with He Baihe. The two of them discussed topics here and there, and more than half an hour quickly passed, after which Zhen Yu began to feel noticeably sleepy.

Since the drawing was almost done as well, she said, "Sister He, I’m getting a bit sleepy! Let’s call it a night."

"Okay, okay! You have school tomorrow, right! Anyway, I remember everything you’ve asked for very clearly, I’ll buy them all in a few days and trade them to you in one go!"

He Baihe spoke and then hung up the connection without a second’s hesitation.

Zhen Yu was already used to this! Not only He Baihe, but sometimes even she herself would cut off the conversation as soon as it ended.

Looking at the semi-finished logo in her hand, Zhen Yu was quite satisfied with her drawing skills!

In the top left corner, a New Moon, half-hidden by thin clouds.

In the middle below, the side silhouette of a man in ancient attire stood amidst a vast wilderness.

With a treasure sword hanging from his waist, holding a wine gourd, as if about to drink, wishing to speak yet hesitating.

"Ah! I got the general feel right, but I’m still not great at the details. I’m also afraid of making the characters look ugly... It looks like I really need to study and practice more!"

Zhen Yu sighed as she wrote the two traditional characters for ’Yueyu’ in the top left corner, enclosing them in the shape of a new moon. Then, she carelessly placed the pen and paper on the bedside table, stretched, yawned, turned off the light, took off her cumbersome pants, and laid down to sleep.

----

She didn’t know what time it was at night, but Zhen Yu was suddenly awakened by intermittent bloating and pain in her stomach that made her sleep uneasy.

At first, it was just uncomfortable, but then it started to rumble and grumble!

No need to ask! This was the onset of diarrhea!

She guessed it was because she had eaten fried ice fruit in the evening and then filled her stomach with the cold night air while walking on the street, which irritated it a bit.

Zhen Yu could only helplessly open her bleary eyes in the dark, unwillingly threw off the covers, put on her shoes, and went to the bathroom!

From getting out of bed to finishing in the toilet, and then washing her hands at the sink, Zhen Yu didn’t turn on a single light the whole time.

Being too tired to open her eyes was only a minor reason; the main reason was that she dared not turn on the light, especially not the bathroom light!

Because once the light was on, Zhen Yu would involuntarily look at the mirror!

And then, all sorts of ghost stories would involuntarily flood her mind! All kinds that could scare her enough to run back to bed and hide under the covers, not daring to make a sound!

The first thing that came to mind was the mirror dripping with blood... followed by dirty things crawling out from behind to chase her...

Then there was something reaching out from under the bed to grab her feet... Since she’d heard that story, Zhen Yu had never dared to sleep with her feet out of the covers!

And the image of a bruised child crouching at the head of her bed watching her... Every time she thought of this, Zhen Yu had to suffocate under the covers all night!

And things like the mop she just saw in the bathroom was actually an upside-down long-haired female corpse and so on and so forth! Thanks to her high school roommates in her past life who often listened to "Gone with the Wind Ghost Stories", Zhen Yu had an inexplicably deep belief in the supernatural...

----

But isn’t there a saying in this world? When you’re out of luck, even drinking water can get stuck in your teeth!

Zhen Yu was just that unlucky today!!!

Not being able to go back to the dorm or getting up in the middle of the night for an upset stomach wasn’t the worst, but what was extremely unlucky was that just as she quickly washed her hands, wanting to rush out, the bathroom light was suddenly turned on by someone!

Then Zhen Yu involuntarily raised her head, and then... she met her own eyes in the mirror!

"!" Zhen Yu’s scalp instantly went numb! Her mind immediately conjured up an image of a female ghost!

She quickly lowered her head, but it was already too late! In just those few seconds, she had already imagined half of a horror movie in her mind...

"Xiao Yu? Why didn’t you turn on the light?"

As Han Mingyue walked in and spoke, Zhen Yu immediately got a jolt and quickly turned off the tap and faced her.

"I," Zhen Yu licked her lips, unsure how to explain at the moment.

After all, in this life, she hadn’t heard any ghost stories, and her First High School roommates were not as bold as the tomboyish ones from the Second High in her past life...

Fortunately, having two people in the bathroom now, Zhen Yu felt her nervous heart beating not as fast as before.

Without waiting for Zhen Yu to speak, Han Mingyue did.

Possibly because he was also quite sleepy late at night, he didn’t dwell on the question about the lights and instead somewhat embarrassingly asked, "Uh, are you finished?"

"Oh! I’m done! I’ll go out first!"

Zhen Yu hurriedly walked out, and as soon as she left the bathroom door, she ran towards the bedroom as if chased by a dog!
