Chapter 3116: Innocence 37
I often read horror magazines at the magazine stands down the street. Now that the content of the ghost stories had entered my mind, I became even more nervous.
He noticed my rapid breathing and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Are you that afraid of the dark?”
“Dongyu, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?”
Just as I finished asking, I was frightened once again by my own imagination. It was as though a ghastly white face flashed in front of me. I was so scared that I didn’t dare mention the word again!
Dongyu laughed. “If I told you that I believe there are ghosts in this world, would you be even more afraid?!”
When I heard that, I almost screamed, “Don’t scare me!”
“Clearly, you’re scaring yourself!”
As he spoke, he rubbed my head. “Alright, stop scaring yourself. If there really is a ghost… I’ll definitely leave you behind and run away first.”
I panicked even more now. I wanted to cry but the tears wouldn’t come. “Stop talking about this topic! Stop! Stop!”
He laughed in amusement and dropped the topic.
We came to the level where the music room was located. Dongyu approached the window and carefully opened it. He drew the curtains aside and looked in. Moonlight streamed into the music room. It was beautiful.
He looked around cautiously with a vigilant expression. I leaned on his side warily and stared at the corner of the corridor, as though anticipating that something would suddenly appear in the next second!
I curled up even more and carefully tugged on his sleeve. “Brother, are you sure it’s okay?”
“Uh huh! The teacher on duty should have returned to the dormitory to rest. There’s no one in the music building.”
He lowered his voice, then shot me a look and said, “Wait for me outside the door, okay? I’ll go in and open the door for you.”
“No…”
I grabbed tightly onto his sleeve. “Are you going to leave me alone outside the door?”
“…I didn’t expect you to be so timid. Why? Are you afraid that something will suddenly appear and eat you up?”
“Ahhh!”
I screamed in fright, and Dongyu hurriedly covered my lips with his fingers. “Idiot! Are you trying to alert the security guards?”
“Don’t scare me then!”
He was half-amused as he said, “Don’t be afraid, okay? Wait for me for a while. I’ll be quick.”
“Well… alright then!”
I gave in grudgingly and nodded. “Just be careful.”
Dongyu held onto the edge of the window and sprang onto the windowsill. From there, he nimbly jumped into the music room.
I walked uneasily to the door, my heart racing from nervousness. Not long after, the classroom door opened from the inside. Just as it opened a crack, I hurriedly squeezed in. It was only when I saw his sunny smile that my heart gradually calmed down.
Dongyu shut the door and turned around. I hugged his shoulders in excitement and exclaimed, “Brother you’re awesome!”
“Shh!”
Afraid that I’d make too much noise, he flicked my forehead with his finger. “Lower your voice!”
“Oh, it hurts…”
I pressed a hand to my forehead and glared at him coyly.
He exchanged a look with me, then moved to draw all the curtains in the music room shut before turning on a lamp.
The mellow light fell on a beautiful and elegant Yamaha grand piano.
“Wow… what a beautiful piano!”
I covered my mouth and exclaimed in admiration. I sized up the piano in awe.
