Chapter 53 Shadow in the Bathroom
Yan Xun: "………………………………"
and many more? !
What did he just hear?
He then thought of the string of things on Yan Yu's body, and for a moment he didn't know whether to admire the other party's boldness or to admire the fact that the other party had many elders.
Perhaps sensing Yan Xun's subtle inner turmoil, Yan's father explained further, "Your cousin usually manages a lot of things..."
“For those whose children are no longer alive, they need him to stay by their side to help pray for their well-being.”
“Normally, those are kept in the Cimu Hall.”
Yan Xun was about to ask what exactly Cimu Hall was—although the name sounded like a welfare home, it clearly had a different meaning in Wusheng Village.
Perhaps because she felt that Mr. Yan had talked too much, Mrs. Yan coughed and said, "I'm tired."
"Go back and rest first."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow."
She looked at Sun Zhao, who had been silent the whole time, and said, "If you don't mind, you can share a room with Xiao Yan."
Although Yan Yu did not arrange a place for Sun Zhao, he did mention that several college students had gotten lost yesterday and stayed temporarily at the Yan family's old house, and it seemed that they did not mind outsiders staying overnight.
However, probably because the initial notification indicated that it was only the Yan family of three, only two rooms were reserved for them in the old house.
If Sun Zhao didn't live with Yan Xun, he would probably have to sleep on the streets or in the carriage.
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhao immediately thanked Yan's mother, then looked at Yan Xun, seemingly waiting for his response.
Yan Xun had no reason to disagree.
After all, that's how it was portrayed in the movie: Sun Zhao, who accidentally got lost, met a kind person returning home on the road, which led him to Wusheng Village.
The kind person even gave Sun Zhao a room so that he wouldn't have to sleep on the street at night.
"Is it alright, Xiao Yan?" Sun Zhao asked.
"Whatever you want," Yan Xun said, walking to the trunk and picking up his luggage. "I can't possibly let you sleep on the streets."
Sun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He followed Yan Xun to move the luggage from the trunk—because they were going to stay there for a while, Yan's parents had prepared extra luggage.
"What's inside? It's so heavy," Yan Xun muttered.
"These are all gifts for relatives," said Yan's mother, taking the suitcase from Yan Xun's hands. "There are also some local specialties."
Whether it's a genuine local specialty or not, nobody knows.
……
The rooms Yan Yu arranged for them were located at opposite ends of the corridor, some distance apart.
Everyone in the old house seemed to be fast asleep; all the lights were off, and apart from the croaking of frogs, there was no other sound... The quieter the old house was, the more jarring the sound of suitcase wheels rolling on the ground became.
Yan Xun stopped in his tracks.
"arrive."
A little further ahead from Yan's parents' room, they gave Yan Xun a few more instructions, telling him not to wander off at night, before pushing their suitcases away.
The two pushed open the door and entered the room.
The interior was simply furnished, but it had everything you needed. If I had to point out a drawback, it would be that there was no bathroom in the room.
“In these old houses, the bathing area should be outside,” Sun Zhao said.
He put his backpack on the chair and said to Yan Xun, "Your cousin said not to go out tonight, just make do for the night."
Yan Xun naturally thought so too, and he was about to nod when a scene suddenly appeared in his mind—
"Yan Xun" complained from inside the room, "How can I sleep without taking a shower?!"
'You might be willing, but I'm not.'
"No, I need to take a shower first."
Upon seeing this, Sun Zhao immediately grabbed Yan Xun's hand, "Have you forgotten your cousin's words? Don't go out at night."
Yan Xun shook off Sun Zhao's hand, 'You're just playing tricks!'
'Who do you think you are, trying to intimidate me with that deadpan face?'
[Hint: The movie plot has begun. Players must act according to the storyline and not improvise!]
The moment the scene ended, a voice appeared in Yan Xun's head.
The familiar system voice made Yan Xun feel a sense of relief, as if it had finally come.
Then, inwardly, I smiled and greeted my system—
"The kind of extra you're talking about is the kind of cannon fodder who looks like they won't survive the first 10 minutes of the movie?!"
[Sobbing.] The system started faking tears. [I didn't want to do this either.]
Yan Xun rolled his eyes inwardly.
Perhaps because he hadn't performed yet, something that looked like a floating dialog box appeared in his field of vision.
[Scene-based role-playing countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
It seems that if you don't play before the countdown ends, the instance will immediately impose a penalty.
Seeing this, Yan Xun took a deep breath and spoke to Sun Zhao in a tone of resignation—
"How can I sleep without showering?!"
"You might be willing, but I'm not!"
"No, I need to take a shower first!"
Sun Zhao's expression was somewhat subtle, as if he regarded Yan Xun as a fool who couldn't understand human speech. But perhaps unwilling to see Yan Xun die, he could only grab Yan Xun, who was about to leave, and patiently said—
"Have you forgotten what your cousin said? Don't go out at night."
"You're just playing tricks!" he said, trying to shake off Sun Zhao's hand, but found that he couldn't shake it off.
Yan Xun: "..."
He pried Sun Zhao's fingers apart and continued with his cannon fodder lines, "Who do you think you are, trying to intimidate me with that deadpan face?"
"...Are you possessed by a ghost?" Sun Zhao finally couldn't help but ask.
Yan Xun: "..."
He also felt as if he were possessed by a ghost, and suddenly started talking nonsense.
But he certainly couldn't admit it now, so he just said to Sun Zhao, "Get out of the way."
He said, taking out a change of clothes from his suitcase, "If you're scared, stay here and don't go out."
Sun Zhao looked at Yan Xun, but in the end did not step aside. "I'll go with you."
"Go back quickly."
……
Sun Zhao in the movie is also kind-hearted.
He seemed worried about Yan Xun, his junior who hadn't even started school yet. Although he couldn't understand the other's inhuman request to take a shower under these circumstances, he still left the room with him.
Yan Xun stood in the corridor and glanced at his parents' room one more time.
The room was completely dark, as if the room had been quieted down.
The two were not familiar with the old house, and Yan Xun originally thought he had returned empty-handed—not that he didn't want to find the bathroom, but that he couldn't find it in the dark—when he looked up, he saw a room marked 'Bathroom'.
"Does this place also serve as a guesthouse?" Sun Zhao asked.
Yan Xun understood what he meant; most people wouldn't put a "bathroom" sign on their bathroom door as a reminder.
Pushing open the door, Yan Xun immediately saw plastic bags hanging on the cement wall and a faucet similar to those in the school bathroom—the kind without a showerhead.
"Hurry up," Sun Zhao said, "come out as soon as you've finished showering."
"I'll wait for you outside."
Yan Xun looked at the bathroom, and another image appeared in his mind—
In the bathroom, Yan Xun, who was bending over to rinse the shampoo off her hair, was unaware of what was happening.
A figure in all black stood less than a fist's distance away from him.
It stared intently at his retreating figure...
It didn't disappear until Yan Xun opened his eyes and looked down behind him.
