'Holy crap! Someone is there?' Su Yang instantly tensed up.
He looked up to double-check the room number plate and thought, 'It is definitely 7012. How could there be footsteps? Could it be the woman in white that Fatty mentioned?'
Thinking of this, Su Yang himself felt it was a bit absurd.
He slowed his movements, approached the door, and pressed his ear against it to listen carefully.
Tap, tap.
Intermittent footsteps came from inside the room. He was ten thousand percent sure someone was in there.
"What the hell? Is there really a ghost? No, ghosts shouldn't have footsteps, right? It must be a person. A thief?"
Just as he was thinking this, the room door actually opened on its own...
Su Yang quickly backed away and prepared for a fight, but the moment the door opened, he was dumbfounded.
Standing in the doorway was a familiar figure wearing a long black robe with a large hood covering her head.
"What the fuck? You, you, you!!"
From beneath the black hood that obscured the robed figure's face came a voice completely unsuited to her outfit.
"Come in~"
That is right, this person was none other than the black-robed girl Su Yang had fought with before.
Su Yang was still a bit dazed. Why was she here? And it seemed like she knew he was coming, taking the initiative to open the door and let him in.
He took a deep breath and quickly walked into the room.
"Why are you here?"
"What's it to you?" the Black-robed girl replied in a cute, tsundere tone, then plopped herself down on the bed.
"Hey? Does that mean you've been following me ever since Ya'an?"
"Who's following you? Can't I be traveling too?"
Su Yang stared at the Black-robed girl in front of him and laughed, "Aren't you afraid of scaring people traveling in that outfit?"
"I don't wear this during the day. You're too nosy."
Slightly speechless, Su Yang walked over and sat down on the bed opposite the Black-robed girl. "Fine. In that case, just tell me. What exactly do you want from me?"
"Nothing. I can't tell you yet~ The time isn't right."
"Then what do you mean by showing up here now?"
"Can't I find a place to sleep? Besides, it's not like I sought you out."
Su Yang: "......"
"No, you have to reveal a little bit, right? Otherwise, you're making me really uncomfortable!"
"You just need to know that I mean no harm, and I won't do anything to the people around you."
"Still not telling. Fine, fine, fine. Then can you take off that stupid hood so I can see what you actually look like?"
The Black-robed girl shook her head. "No. Actually, not right now. When the time is right, you'll be able to see my true face~"
Su Yang propped up his head. "I really give up. How did you get into the room?"
"The window~" The Black-robed girl pointed to the balcony behind them.
"This is the seventh floor, big sis. Can you fly?"
"Don't call me big sis!!" the Black-robed girl shouted in a cute tone.
"Fine, beauty. Beauty is okay, right? Do you know lightness skills?"
"No."
"Then how did you get up here?"
"I climbed up?"
Speechless, Su Yang gave her a thumbs up. "You're badass!"
'Wait, I could sense it when she was following me before. Why didn't I feel like I was being followed at all this time? Could she really be here just to travel?'
"What are you thinking about? I came today to say goodbye to you," the Black-robed girl smiled.
"Say goodbye?" Su Yang was taken aback.
"Yeah, after today, you won't be seeing me again for a short while~"
"Well, thank you very much. It'd be best if you never showed up again."
"That won't do. You're very important to me. This involves..." The Black-robed girl suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Su Yang pressed, "Involves what?"
"Nothing. Anyway, it won't do you any harm. You'll know in the future~"
"Alright. Since you're not going to tell me, I'm leaving." Su Yang said as he stood up, grabbed the quilt from the bed, and held it in his arms.
The Black-robed girl watched Su Yang leave. "Close the door on your way out~"
Su Yang turned his head slightly and said speechlessly, "My hands are full. Close it yourself."
Dozens of seconds later, holding the quilt, he returned to the door of his own room, opened it, and went inside.
As soon as he walked in, the doors of the two rooms directly across the living room opened. Meng Qianyu and Su Qingci stood in their doorways, shining their phone flashlights at Su Yang.
"What are you guys doing?" Su Yang turned to look at them and asked.
"N-nothing. We were just checking if it was you."
"Who else could it be but me? Hurry up and go to sleep."
"Okay." After confirming it was Su Yang, the two closed their doors and went to bed.
Su Yang threw the quilt onto the sofa. It was already 1:50 AM. Too lazy to take off his clothes, he pulled the quilt over himself, lay down, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The night passed in silence.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Su Yang woke up first, but the living room lights were still off.
It seemed the power hadn't been restored yet. He turned on his phone to check; the signal, however, had returned to normal.
He got up and went into the bathroom. The water was still out.
"Damn, still no water," Su Yang muttered and returned to the living room. At this moment, the two bedroom doors opened, and the girls walked out, their eyes bleary with sleep.
"Brother Su Yang, you're up?" Su Qingci asked.
Su Yang nodded. "Yeah. Did you sleep well?"
"Not bad. By the way, is the water back on? I need to use the bathroom~"
"No."
"Still no water?" The girls instantly pouted.
"I just checked, not a single drop. How about we pack up and leave quickly."
"Alright. We'll go back to our room to use the bathroom first. The toilet in our room should still have a bit of water left."
"Okay, hurry up then. Once you're done, we'll leave."
"Okay~" Meng Qianyu and the other three girls quickly walked out of the room.
Watching their retreating figures, Su Yang suddenly remembered that the Black-robed girl was still in Meng Qianyu's room.
He immediately shouted, "Qianyu, wait!"
"What's wrong?" Meng Qianyu turned around and asked.
"Uh... well, when I went to your room to get the quilt yesterday, I think I left something behind. I'll go with you."
"Sure~"
Su Yang glanced at Pan Ning. "I'll head over first."
Pan Ning nodded and went back to her room to pack her things.
After they left the room, Su Yang took the lead and walked in front. "My stomach hurts a bit too. I'll hurry over to open the door and get my stuff, then go downstairs to find a place to use the bathroom."
"Oh, okay~"
After speaking, Su Yang quickly ran towards Room 7012. Arriving at the door, he took out the room card he hadn't returned yesterday, swiped it, opened the door, and rushed inside.
He thought the Black-robed girl would still be in there sleeping soundly, but upon entering, he saw that the room was completely empty. Even the bed she had sat on last night looked as if it hadn't been touched.
"Hmm, she left? Or did she not sleep here at all last night?"
Su Yang walked quickly to the bathroom and pushed the door open. No one was inside either. After confirming she wasn't there, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, if Meng Qianyu and Tang Ziyun bumped into her, her outfit would probably scare the two of them into fainting.
At that moment, Meng Qianyu and Tang Ziyun walked into the room. "Did you find it, Brother Su Yang?"
"Oh, I found it."
"What was it?"
"A watch~" Su Yang smiled.
"A watch?? You're really careless, leaving such a valuable thing here," Tang Ziyun looked at Su Yang and said.
"No worries, as long as you found it. You guys go ahead and use the restroom. I'll get going now, let's meet up in the lobby later."
"Alright~"
Su Yang said as he turned and left.
