In a sense, Lin An was right! To Jiang Xiao, wasn’t she just a beast?
Song Qiuyu sneakily and shamefully peeked at Jiang Xiao’s reaction, but only for a glance before quickly looking away, not daring to linger for another second.
Although Little Qiuyu was gone now, from a physical standpoint, she couldn’t really be considered a beast anymore.
But because of that, she had become an even stranger, unspeakable person.
“If she hadn’t sent me photos, I would have actually believed it!”
Gu Nian, as expected, didn’t take it seriously.
“It’s 2025, and you still believe photos? Now even videos can’t be fully trusted, buddy.”
Xie Zhuran mercilessly added.
“Besides the above situations, there’s another extremely dangerous one.”
Lin An suddenly became serious.
“Watch your kidneys.”
“…”
Are you serious, buddy? Don’t scare me.
“And, didn’t you say you were meeting on Christmas? I’ve already predicted her next move!”
Xie Zhuran adjusted the imaginary glasses on his nose and also became serious.
“She’ll invite you to travel, then transit through northern Myanmar!”
“You guys are talking nonsense, she genuinely likes me!”
“Sigh, young man, you’re still too young. Don’t struggle.”
Lin An sighed.
“She doesn’t scam others, only you. You should reflect on your own problems.”
Gu Nian’s resolve wavered.
No longer listening to their nonsense, Song Qiuyu pretended to be calm and urged them a few times, then hastily climbed back into bed.
Lying on the bed, she inadvertently recalled the rather suggestive chat logs on Gu Nian’s phone screen and instinctively picked up her phone, switching to her secondary account.
She was curious, curious to death, she really wanted to check the chat history from those three years in middle school!
Guilt and impatience pressed on her chest like a huge rock, making it hard for her to breathe.
What Lin An said was indeed frightening, but Jiang Xiao’s situation seemed even worse than that!
The current Jiang Xiao was alive but not completely alive.
Damn it, if only she knew what she had done before, she should be able to find the right cure.
Song Qiuyu didn’t know how she finally fell asleep.
Her thoughts gradually sank, and in her dream, she returned to a summer during her second year of middle school.
The cicadas came out very early that year.
She was alone at home, cut the chilled watermelon into chunks, and brought it into the air-conditioned room.
Then, as usual, she switched to her secondary account and started chatting with Jiang Xiao.
It was their first anniversary.
Both Song Qiuyu and Jiang Xiao, as well as Shen Xi and Jiang Xiao, had been together for a year.
So, to commemorate this special day, she decided to trick Jiang Xiao into going to a haunted house!
Jiang Xiao was not a timid person, but through their time together, she had understood and confirmed—he was afraid of ghosts.
Therefore, after much coaxing, Jiang Xiao finally agreed to go to the haunted house.
Now, he had just entered the haunted house and was in good spirits.
Jiang Xiao: Xi’er, are you still there?
Jiang Xiao: Xi’er! Please say something again, will you talk to me more? That way I won’t be scared.
Jiang Xiao’s fear was completely evident in his words.
She could fully imagine him holding his phone, trembling in the dimly lit haunted house, and burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Her two long, fair, and tender legs, extending from her denim shorts, swayed continuously as if pedaling an imaginary bicycle.
Her two small, white jade-like bare feet eventually tired of pedaling air and gently landed on the bed.
She wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, picked up her phone, and replied: “Squeak~ Yes, yes, Jiang Xiao, just keep going forward, I’ll always be with you~”
After reading the message, she put down her phone, picked up a piece of watermelon, opened her small mouth, and took big bites.
These watermelons had seeds.
She ate while looking down, spitting the watermelon seeds into the trash can by the bed.
Imagining Jiang Xiao’s predicament, she felt the sweetness of the watermelon she was eating double.
“Ding!”
Jiang Xiao sent another message.
Jiang Xiao: Xi’er! A female ghost in red climbed out of the pond! She’s chasing me now!!!
She bit her finger, her brain trembling; this scene was indeed a bit creepy!
She encouraged: “Hugs to you, don’t be afraid, those are just staff members!”
Jiang Xiao was temporarily comforted.
However, the staff at the haunted house were incredibly dedicated to their profession.
Within five minutes, Jiang Xiao encountered several ghosts and was even chased by a strange person dragging a hammer.
She could only do her best to encourage him with flirtatious remarks, all while indulging in the pleasant imagination of his timid appearance.
She ate the watermelon faster and faster, and soon it was all gone.
“Beep!”
Jiang Xiao sent another message.
[Jiang Xiao]: Xi’er, if I can make it out of this haunted house alive, will you promise me one thing?
She jokingly nodded: “Sure, since you’re willing to brave the haunted house for me, I’ll agree to whatever you ask!”
Anyway, given Jiang Xiao’s personality, he wouldn’t ask for anything too outrageous.
[Jiang Xiao]: Then, will you go out with me?
She froze.
The wind chimes by the window jingled in the hot breeze.
Lying on the bed, she sat up and crossed her slender legs.
She didn’t think for too long before replying: “Hmm, as long as you make it out alive, we’ll be together!”
Then, as expected, Jiang Xiao left the haunted house alive, and for the next month, she became a merciless greeting and doting machine.
Compared to her indifferent cooperation, Jiang Xiao adapted to an absurd degree, clearly having planned this for a long time.
He was incredibly addicted to calling her “dear,” and on the first day of school, he almost fast-forwarded to calling her “wife.”
She, however, wasn’t embarrassed at all, purely approaching it with a fun-loving attitude.
After some more time passed, she unexpectedly noticed Jiang Xiao staring at the white-stockinged legs of a passing female cosplayer and casually asked, “Jiang Xiao, do you like white stockings?”
“…”
Jiang Xiao’s face instantly flushed red.
So, that same day, she secretly went online to pick out white stockings to buy.
Of course, the package was sent home.
She didn’t dare to send it to school.
But since no one was home, she could only time it to sign for the package when she went home on the weekend.
After getting the white stockings, she imagined Jiang Xiao’s interesting reaction as a pure, innocent boy upon receiving photos of white-stockinged legs.
She chuckled as she took off her pants and slipped her slender jade feet into the soft white stockings.
The white stockings she bought were not full-body, just over-the-knee socks.
She posed and snapped a photo in front of the mirror.
Then, filled with anticipation, she opened Jiang Xiao’s chat window: “Jiang Xiao, I just bought some stockings today, can you tell me if they look good and fit well?”
So, Jiang Xiao’s phone received this message, along with this picture—
Two slender, straight legs clad in sheer white stockings, pressed tightly together.
Below, her small feet, wrapped in white stockings, stood on the floor.
Looking up, the top of the white stockings slightly constricted the flesh of her thighs.
A drooping white shirt perfectly covered the exposed half of her thighs, and a small heart-shaped birthmark on the inside of her left thigh was faintly visible.
“Hehe~”
Seeing these legs in the photo, she couldn’t help but click her tongue twice.
If she weren’t the person in the photo herself, she would have thought it was a real girl!
However, to her surprise, Jiang Xiao replied to her after only a few seconds of silence:
“Song Qiuyu?”
“?”
She was dumbfounded.
Before she could even recover, a long, slender, bony hand suddenly stretched out from the phone screen, scaring her into dropping the phone.
Immediately after, Jiang Xiao’s entire head and upper body emerged from it.
Meeting Jiang Xiao’s gaze, her pupils instantly dilated.
“You… don’t come over!!”
Jiang Xiao climbed completely out of the phone screen.
Outside the dream, Song Qiuyu’s face was covered in cold sweat, her expression pained.
At the same time, a familiar heavy sinking sensation and unbearable cramping pain came from the center of her lower abdomen.
“Ugh!”
Song Qiuyu clutched her stomach, rolled over, and curled up like a large shrimp.
Then, she woke up in pain, opening her eyes.
