In the small, separate bathroom, there was only one showerhead. Lin Yu stood stiffly there, at a loss, as he watched every movement of the man as he showered.

"Are you infatuated with me?"

"Ah? What?" Lin Yu snapped back to reality, her gaze fixed on the man's facial features in front of her, her expression filled with confusion.

Su Yi smiled and, gripping his shoulder, the two of them swapped positions in an instant. Warm water cascaded down from Lin Yu's head, startling him. He quickly reached out and pressed against Su Yi's chest, asking, "What are you trying to do?"

"You probably have less than ten minutes left."

As Su Yi finished speaking, Lin Yu suddenly realized what was going on. Without caring about her appearance, she quickly turned her back and faced the shower, rinsing her body.

Su Yi turned around and somewhere he had woken up a bit. He walked out of the shower, dried his body and casually put on his pajamas. He hurriedly returned to his seat before calming down.

In the last second before the water stopped, Lin Yu rinsed off the foam on her body. She wrapped herself in a towel and walked out of the shower room. Just as she was about to grab her clothes, the entire private bathroom plunged into darkness. Even the air conditioner, which had been making some noise due to its age, stopped making any sound.

What...what's going on?

Lin Yu suffers from nyctalopia, unable to perceive anything in pitch darkness. Standing still, gripping the towel tightly around her body, she succumbs to the fear of the looming darkness.

Su Yi forgot to tell him that not only would there be a water outage tonight, but there would also be a power outage. This was one of the reasons why Jiang Yu would be spending the night at the internet café.

There has been no water source for a long time, and Lin Yu has not been seen for half a day. Su Yi lies on the bed, unable to calm his heart. He half-sits up and calls out towards the independent bathroom, "Xiao Yu, are you feeling better?"

No one responded.

Su Yi felt a slight unease as she carefully descended the ladder, reassuring herself that she was just going to take a shower in her own dormitory. What could possibly go wrong?

Picking up the phone from the table, Su Yi clicked on the flashlight function. Wearing slippers, she hurriedly walked over. Opening the bathroom door, she found Lin Yu squatting on the ground, tightly wrapped in a bath towel.

"Soo... Su Yi..."

"What's wrong with you?" Su Yi held the phone in his mouth, grabbed the clothes on the hanger, bent down and picked up Lin Yu, carefully burying his naked body in his arms. This was the first time Su Yi had a strong sense of Lin Yu relying on him.

Lin Yu tightly wrapped her arms around Su Yi's neck, burying her head in his chest. On one hand, it was because of the darkness, and on the other hand... she was completely naked except for a bath towel, her face blushing all the way to her neck.

Underneath her own bed, Lin Yu softly called out in an extremely faint voice, "Let me down."

Lin Yu stood there, then looked at Su Yi in the dim light and said, "Could you... stop looking at me like that... I need... to get dressed."

"After we've taken a bath together, are you still afraid of me looking at you?" Su Yi chuckled softly. Despite saying that, she still turned around and lay on the bed, biting her phone.

Lin Yu changed into clean clothes and, like a blind person, fumbled for the phone on the table, occasionally knocking into things, making clattering noises.

"Su Yi..." Lin Yu let out a sigh, "Could you... lend me a hand?"

"Xiaoyu, what on earth are you..."

"Night blindness..." Lin Yu clenched her lower lip. "I have night blindness."

And... there is also a memory that is too painful to look back on.

Lin Yushen took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. The light from the bed opposite him enveloped him, but when he reached for his phone, he found that it had run out of battery and shut down. There was no place to charge it on the bed, so he had to leave the phone below and climbed onto the bed following the light.

"Xiaoyu," Su Yi watched as he lay down, then turned off the flashlight. He sighed, resting his hand behind his head, and said, "If you need to go out at night in the future, call me."

"When I have a cellphone, there's no problem," Lin Yu turned around, leaving only the back of her head, faintly reflected in Su Yi's eyes.

In the hot late summer, the lack of air conditioning made the entire dormitory unbearably stuffy. Because it was situated near trees, the windows dare not be opened, as if afraid that some unidentified creatures might crawl in. Su Yi could not fall asleep the whole time, while Lin Yu seemed to be adapting just fine, as I soon heard his steady breathing.

Su Yi slightly pursed her lips, closing her eyes and remaining completely still, afraid to disturb the tranquility and serenity of the whole night.

Lin Yu slept soundly until dawn, while Su Yi hardly slept at all throughout the night. She directly asked for a day off from the class teacher, planning to catch up on sleep in the dormitory. After getting out of bed, Lin Yu walked quietly, showing great understanding. The electricity supply had been restored and the air conditioning gradually started to work. Lin Yu made hardly any noise and left the dormitory after putting on the military training uniform.

During the morning training, Lin Yu seemed visibly distracted. During the halftime break, Gao Yuan took off his hat and used it as a fan, waving it back and forth in his hand. He sat under the shade of a tree and nudged Lin Yu with his arm, saying, "Hey, what have you been thinking about all morning?"

Lin Yu sighed and said, "Gao Yuan, I am going to lose face."

"What on earth happened?"

"Do you know about the water and power outage last night?"

"I know, that's why as soon as I finished the exam, I went back to the dormitory to freshen up. You wouldn't have gone a whole night without taking a shower, right?"

"Of course not!" Lin Yu straightened her body, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks. "It's just that there was a little accident... I have nyctalopia... and Su Yi found out."

"Tsk... I thought it was something big. Is it worth you having a furrowed brow and a gloomy face all night for such a trivial matter?" Gao Yuan glanced at him with disdain.

"You're not the person involved... How would you know..." Lin Yubie pouted. Besides night blindness, other things happened, such as taking a bath together and being carried to bed naked... Lin Yu suddenly lowered her head and covered her face, feeling utterly hopeless.

"Ah, I have no idea..." Gao Yuan dismissed it, but suddenly, as if infused with energy, he raised his arm and hooked it around Lin Yu's shoulder, lowering his voice, "Lin Yu, do you know about this fun place in our school?"

Gao Yuan pointed in the direction of the dormitory and said mysteriously, "Do you know that there is an abandoned building in a walled-off area behind our dormitory?"

"Just an abandoned building, everyone passes by there every day, who wouldn't know." Lin Yubai rolled her eyes at him, shrugged, and shrugged off Gao Yuan's arm from her shoulder.

Because of the power outage last night, someone in our dormitory said that the reason that building is abandoned is that there is a student living there who jumps off the building every year...

Lin Yu looked at him in astonishment, her eyes widening. Even the breeze blowing against her body gave her a chilling sensation.

"The school later closed off that building and plans to demolish it this year... Do you think our dormitory building, being so close, might also easily become infected with some... peculiar things?"
