Chapter 141

A resume fell out of the 【Link】, bearing a stranger's name and a photo. jpg.

Chang Qingsen?

Who is that!

Feng Yuhuai was full of question marks; she had originally thought the 【Link】 would hide something terrifying, but this was it?

Feng Yuhuai repeatedly viewed the contents of the 【Link】 several times, and only after confirming there were no omissions did she exit the link, gnashing her teeth as she sent a text message over.

——???

Meanwhile, on the computer screen's software interface, a bright red location point flickered on the virtual map, precisely marking the position of the Eighth Middle School Girls' Dormitory.

Feng Mu's expression was calm, and he thought to himself: "The anklet has already been quietly locked on; can the dog collar be far behind?"

He unhurriedly gave Fifth Senior Brother a thumbs-up, then continued replying to the keyboard.

——The game rules are simple, Miss 【Mask】; you just need to kill this person within the countdown, and you will achieve game victory.

——As a reward, I will allow you to continue hiding behind the 【Mask】.

Feng Yuhuai poked furiously at her phone screen: What about you? If I win, what do you have to pay?

Feng Yuhuai clearly felt this game lacked fairness.

——My payment is that I do nothing at all.

Feng Yuhuai's lungs were about to explode with rage; the Puppet Mother at least observed a false fairness, but this person is nakedly taking without giving anything at all.

Listen to this, what kind of talk is "my payment is to do nothing"? Is this something a human can say?

Feng Yuhuai frantically poked at the screen: Your game lacks the most basic fairness; I will not participate.

——Miss 【Mask】, your definition of fairness seems rather narrow.

——You need to understand that in certain situations, making a person remain inactive actually requires a more expensive price than making him take action. My "doing nothing" is precisely the greatest fairness I can offer you.

Feng Yuhuai bit her lip hard, took two deep breaths, and tried to continue bargaining: You're not refusing to act; you simply don't have any evidence that can identify me.

The text message reply fell silent for an instant.

Just when Feng Yuhuai thought she had scored a point and her mood relaxed slightly, the final ultimatum arrived; sure enough, it contained no self-proving content, and the textual cadence remained just as calm and composed.

——Miss 【Mask】, you are very smart; therefore, I sincerely hope you can uphold your conviction, with no need to take any action.

——However, I would like to kindly remind you that the game has already begun and will not pause.

——Hope you have a good dream tonight, good night~

——Laughing Face JPG!

Not a trace of hysterical mania, not a shred of embarrassment-turned-anger, not even any lies of sophistry or threats.

Only an indescribable lightness, as if old friends exchanging a gentle greeting when the night sky hangs low, full of concern and calm.

Such an attitude left Feng Yuhuai with no way to start, unable to capture any flaw to refute; her teeth itched with anger, yet she was helpless.

A rational voice whispered in her ear, admonishing herself not to fear, not to believe lightly, but the haze deep in her heart surged quietly like a night tide, growing thicker and thicker, until her eyes seemed also to be obscured by that layer of dense black fog.

Feng Yuhuai's face alternated between dark and pale; in the end she typed a few lines of text messages on her phone, but sadly they all sank like stones into the sea, without any reply.

Just like the "good night" in the text message, the old friend had already fallen asleep, but Feng Yuhuai glanced at the time passing second by second on her phone, only feeling this long night was so interminably agonizing.

Asleep?

No, how can you fall asleep!

Feng Yuhuai froze for a few seconds, then slowly stood up from the toilet; her legs felt numb and tingly from staying still for so long. She splashed cold water fiercely onto her cheeks, trying to wake herself up.

Afterward, she left the restroom and burrowed into her own icy cold bedding.

Her dormitory roommates were all sound asleep, each immersed in dreamland; only she alone was savoring the night's fear.

Loneliness!

At this moment, Feng Yuhuai felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world; loneliness, like a tide, mercilessly engulfed her soul.

She buried her head deep into the bedding, tears sliding down silently; even at such a moment, her fingers still involuntarily slid toward her phone, scrolling through that 【Link】, as if gazing at a lover's photo, deeply branding Chang Qingsen's features into her mind.

Suddenly, the phone emitted a buzzing vibration, and Feng Yuhuai's heart couldn't help but jump along with it.

She seemed to suddenly understand why those socially anxious people fear answering phone calls; she now felt the same, an inexplicable fear toward a stranger's text message.

Feng Yuhuai's gaze lingered on the sender's name for a moment; this was a brand new strange number, completely different from the one just now.

Her fingers trembled slightly, eyes holding tears, as she slowly clicked open the text message.

——Haven't contacted me for several days, did something happen? Don't be afraid; no matter what difficulty you encounter, I will stand up for you and solve it for you.

The text message content made Feng Yuhuai freeze instantly; the tears in her eye sockets seemed to freeze.

Feng Yuhuai was exasperated, her heart completely collapsing: "Who is this? Which one is this strange number?"

Feng Yuhuai's fingers trembling, she sent a reply: "Who are you?"

The phone screen buzzed and vibrated again, a new message leaping into view:

——Baby, I'm your Hange. What's wrong? Are you still mad at me? Rest assured, there's only you in my heart forever. I'll come see you very soon.

Feng Yuhuai's face turned stiff as a stone carving; she searched her mind repeatedly but could not match the name "Hange" to any figure in her memory.

And even calling her Baby?

Feng Yuhuai's inner loneliness was diluted, replaced by intense disgust, disgust so great her pupils spawned a desire to kill and vent her anger.

Fortunately, she didn't reply, and no new text messages were sent over.

"Sent to the wrong person, right?" Feng Yuhuai speculated inwardly.

She increasingly felt she had been having bad luck lately, her mood increasingly irritable, so she unhesitatingly deleted the text message "Hange" had sent.

The other side.

Fifth Senior Brother Gong Qi cast a suspicious glance at the phone Feng Mu was fiddling with; in his impression, Little Junior Brother didn't use this model of phone.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Junior Brother, do you have another phone?"

After sending the text message, Feng Mu neatly turned off the phone and removed the phone card, then said frankly to Gong Qi, "No, it's just a friend I've been through life and death with who accidentally left his phone here. I'm only keeping it for him temporarily, and I'm wondering when I'll find an opportunity to return it to him."

Gong Qi let out an "oh" as if realizing something, his doubts instantly vanishing like smoke.

He could almost be certain that every word Junior Brother said to him was sincere, just like when he had just now talked with his own sister, every sentence was heartfelt truth from the bottom of his lungs.

"Junior Brother is truly an interesting character!" A trace of inexplicable excitement surged in Gong Qi's heart, his curiosity and interest in this Junior Brother growing ever stronger.

He smiled at Feng Mu and said, "Junior Brother, if you need any help in the future, remember to come find me, Fifth Senior Brother. No matter how big or small the matter, as long as Senior Brother can handle it, I will absolutely not refuse."

Feng Mu agreed readily, he seemed to see a string of 【Goodwill+1+1+1.....】 prompts above the other's head.

He grinned: "Then please trouble Senior Brother to put an ankle chain on Chang Qingsen as well."
