Chapter 3 - Task (2/2)

Jiang Yang pulled up his pants, washed his hands and turned off the bathroom lights before casually glancing outside into the darkness. It was so dark that nothing could be seen. Jiang Yang felt the hairs on his back stand and couldn’t help but recall the ghost stories that they had shared earlier.

With the lights off, the room became even darker and he had the urge to rush back into bed. Behind him he heard a sudden movement which scared him and caused his heart to pound very rapidly. He stepped back into the room quickly as if the moment he crossed the line, he would be safe.

Letting out a deep breath, he pulled out his phone and prepared to turn on the air conditioner. It was also at this moment that he realised that the sound he heard earlier was probably the sound of water dripping and he was just scaring himself with his wild imaginations.

The air conditioner started operating with a beep and the fan blades became to turn. Cool air was blown out along with a soft sound which sounded deafening loud in the quiet night. Jiang Yang subconsciously looked back at Qin Xu afraid that he would be woken up by the sound and he wouldn’t be able to do his next task. Deep inside he also felt deep regret. He should have covered him with a blanket first before turning on the air conditioner.

However, despite stiffening his body up and staring at him for a while, the other roommates were all sleeping very deeply and showed no signs of waking up.

Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and returned his phone into his pocket. He walked very slowly and carefully towards Qin Xu’s bed.

Nearing the bed and with the help of the moonlight shining through, Jiang Yang could roughly make out his sleeping face; small strands of black hair covered his eyebrows and half his face sank into the pillow slightly deforming his mouth as he breathed evenly through slightly parted lips.

Of course, Jiang Yang wasn’t in the mood to appreciate this and just impatiently and secretly cursed at him. He really wanted to let the people who have said that he is handsome see his current stupid state. Like a moronic dead pig.

Jiang Yang gritted his teeth. It was better to hurry and get things over with. Although helping cover his enemy with a blanket was very embarrassing, but for the sake of a good night sleep, he could only surrender to this temporarily. The other party won’t know about it anyway so a quick battle with quick resolution will be good.

Despite mentally being able to accept this, emotionally he was very reluctant and so his actions were very awkward.

He roughly grabbed the blanket and threw it over his head, burying his entire body underneath. Just as he wanted to go, he hesitated for two seconds and felt that it wasn’t very ethical of him to suffocate the other with a blanket. After all, this is just a task assigned by the system and Qin Xu is innocent….No that’s not right, how is that guy innocent? Every second and every minute he is deserving of a beating!

Although Qin Xu didn’t provoke him this time but just looking at his face make him feel unhappy. He couldn’t help but push his irritation at being unable to have a good night sleep onto him.

Jiang Yang unwillingly pulled the blanket back down to Qin Xu’s shoulder. He couldn’t care less anymore so he turned around while yawning and proceeded to get back into his bed.

With the task finally completed, the annoying system had stopped bothering him and he could now sleep well.

Perhaps because the air conditioner is on and the temperature in the room is cool and comfortable, or because he was exhausted by the pestering system, Jiang Yang very quickly became drowsy and his breathing gradually became more and more even.

At this time, a soft rustling was heard from a bed below and someone cautiously got up before slowly walking to the balcony.

Jiang Yang vaguely heard this sound while in a half asleep and half awakened state. Feeling no movement from his end, it was probably from the opposite bed….Could it be Qin Xu? Luckily he had moved fast. If he was covering him with the blanket now and the other person woke up, how awkward would that be?

He thought this while in a state of drowsiness and very soon fell into deep sleep.

It was also because of this that he did not see Qin Xu who had walked to the balcony turn around and look in his direction with a complicated expression.

Earlier Qin Xu was asleep but was awakened by some sounds nearby. He casually opened his eyes to check only to see Jiang Yang get out of bed and head to the bathroom. Seeing this, he closed his eyes again without a care.

But after a while, Jiang Yang had returned and turned on the air conditioner but did not return immediately to his bed. Instead, he walked towards him and he could clearly feel his black shadow move over him. Qin Xu was very puzzled; what does this guy want?

Then, his blankets moved and slammed over his head.

Qin Xu’s heart started beating wildly. The sound was seemingly several times louder than usual in the pitch black darkness and shocking his eardrums. His entire body stiffened up and he almost forgot to breathe.

Is this guy possessed?! Does he want to smother me to death?!

Qin Xu suddenly recalled the ghost stories they had shared earlier. One of it was about a sleepwalking killer lurking in the dormitory. For a moment, Qin Xu who had been sleeping very soundly earlier couldn’t tell if he was dreaming or if it was reality.

But at the next second, Jiang Yang’s action made him even more confused.

Jiang Yang helped cover him with his blanket up to his shoulders and even patted it down as if he was afraid that he would kick it off the next second.

Qin Xu’s heart: “…….????”

This guy must be possessed!

The author has something to say:Qin Xu is scared: This guy wants to kill me!Jiang Yang: …….Qin Xu is scared to death.Main character is dead, the story is finished EHEHEHEHE~

Xiao Xin was afraid that his roommates would find out that he is afraid of ghosts but he didn’t know that the other three are also cowards and just good at acting.
