Wei Wan Ru paused beside Lin Yan, finally turning her gaze to the latter.
"Can you tell me what happened now?" Lin Yan spread a piece of paper on the ground and sat beside her.
"Hmm, it seems this time it wasn't a nightmare, but I really encountered a supernatural event." She sighed softly and looked at the place where Wei Wan Ru and the ghost had been fighting. WAp.kanshu伍.net
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Zeng Jing Jing, and I'm a teacher." She extended her hand towards Lin Yan.
"Hello, my name is Lin Yan, and I'm a Heavenly Master." Lin Yan took her hand. kanδん
The warm touch reassured Zeng Jing Jing, finally making her believe Lin Yan was alive. The events of the night had completely shattered her worldview, and this sudden appearance of Lin Yan was hard to accept.
Now, holding Lin Yan's hand and feeling her warmth, she finally felt at ease. It was good that she was alive.
"Sister Zeng, why don't we find another place? Chatting on the roadside in the middle of the night isn't something normal people do." Lin Yan, sensing Zeng Jing Jing's relaxation, suggested.
"Come to my place, it's not far from here." Zeng Jing Jing stood up, ready to lead the way.
"Come in, I'll get you a cup of hot water to warm your hands." Although the daytime temperature was still quite high, the nights were cold.
This girl had come out to help her late at night and sat with her by the roadside; she felt she should take good care of her.
"Thank you, Sister Zeng." Lin Yan didn't refuse. Having her busy now could also help distract her.
When Zeng Jing Jing returned with two cups of water and placed them in front of herself and Wei Wan Ru, Lin Yan found her quite interesting.
After pouring herself a cup of hot water and cupping it in her hands, she sat down, gathered her thoughts, and began to tell Lin Yan about her recent experiences.
"It was just a dream?" Lin Yan frowned.
"Yes, just a dream. In the dream, someone was always chasing me, getting closer and closer. In the last few days, he was almost upon me, and I had to put in a lot of effort to escape." Zeng Jing Jing described her dream and her recent daze to Lin Yan.
"I noticed something was off about you earlier today, so I placed a talisman in your bag. It was the talisman being triggered that alerted me. But I didn't expect that even a protective talisman wouldn't be enough. I miscalculated."
Lin Yan knew she had been a bit overconfident. She had thought a protective talisman would buy them enough time until they arrived.
She hadn't anticipated how dangerous it would be. Fortunately, it was night with few cars around, otherwise, what she might have seen upon her arrival would have been Zeng Jing Jing's corpse.
"Then why is this happening? Why would something like this happen to me?" Zeng Jing Jing couldn't accept the supernatural event and couldn't understand why it had found her.
"Did you hear a voice in your dreams? Was it familiar?" Lin Yan could only attribute it to potential past grudges.
"No, I didn't hear it. It was a man's voice, I've never heard it before." Zeng Jing Jing shook her head after trying hard to recall.
"Besides the dreams, was there anything else?" Lin Yan felt it wasn't simple.
Zeng Jing Jing "Sometimes after the dream, I would sleepwalk, does that count?" Like today, when she woke up, she was already outside, even though she had been sleeping in her bedroom.
"How could it not count?" Lin Yan recalled, "You were also somewhat disoriented."
"Yes, yes."
"Then, Sister Zeng, that ghost has left now, and we don't know where it went. It's late now, you should go back and rest." Lin Yan pondered Zeng Jing Jing's account for a long time.
"Little Heavenly Master Lin, you should rest too. My guest bedroom is always ready, it can be used directly. And, um..." Zeng Jing Jing hesitated.
"What is it?" Lin Yan looked up at her.
"Um, could you not close the door when you sleep? I'm still a bit scared," Zeng Jing Jing said hesitantly.
"Alright, but Sister Wei will stay up in the living room tonight to keep watch, so you don't need to be afraid." Lin Yan said with a smile, then looked at Wei Wan Ru, "Thank you for your trouble, Sister Wei."
"No trouble." Wei Wan Ru floated to the sofa and sat down, then picked up a magazine from the coffee table.
Zeng Jing Jing looked at the slightly transparent figure, and her heart didn't feel any more at ease. This was a real ghost. A ghost in the living room, how could she possibly sleep soundly!
Lin Yan seemed to sense her thoughts and handed her a talisman. "It's for sleep. Place it under your pillow, and you'll fall asleep quickly."
Zeng Jing Jing took the talisman, glanced at the person and the ghost in the living room, bid them goodnight, and went to wash up before preparing to rest.
Before washing up, she placed the talisman under her pillow. After she finished washing, she thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep. But to her surprise, the moment her head touched the pillow, she was instantly in dreamland.
Lin Yan yawned, "Sister Wei, I'm going to sleep too. Please keep an eye out tonight. Wake me if anything happens."
"Alright, Yan Yan. Your eyes are almost closed, go to sleep quickly."
"Okay, goodnight!" Lin Yan said goodnight and went into the second bedroom.
The bed in the second bedroom was neatly made, and Lin Yan directly snuggled under the covers.
Zeng Jing Jing hadn't slept so well in a long time. When she was woken up by sounds outside, she got up and stretched. It was only when she saw the unclosed bedroom door that she realized something was wrong.
Remembering what had happened last night, she quickly got up and ran out.
"Where are you going?"
The voice she had heard many times last night echoed in the room again. Zeng Jing Jing understood that everything from last night was real.
"I bought breakfast. Have you washed up? If you have, come and eat together." Lin Yan sat at the dining table, eating breakfast as if she were at home.
"So everything last night was real?" Zeng Jing Jing murmured to herself.
"Sister Zeng, what are you talking about?" Lin Yan had actually heard her, but she asked anyway, to give her some face.
"It's nothing, I'm going to wash up!" Zeng Jing Jing turned and went back into the bedroom.
Lin Yan and Wei Wan Ru exchanged a smile, and then Lin Yan began to eat her own breakfast. Lin Yan had gone out to buy it herself, and she had bought two portions.
Zeng Jing Jing came out quickly and sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.
"Why are you up so early?" Zeng Jing Jing felt a bit embarrassed. After all, the guest had come to her home, and not only had she not hosted, but the guest had also bought her breakfast.
"It's the biological clock of a high school student."
