Chapter 2: Seemed to be able to see strange things (1/2)

”Nnn.........Damn it, it hurts...........”

Blurrily waking up, the surroundings was already pitch-black, even the street lights were already extinguished. I took out my phone from my pocket, switched on flashlight mode, and casually looked at the current time.

The heck! It's already 1 am past midnight!

I pressed onto my still aching side of my head, and struggled crawling up from the bench.

Tch, I feel that my vision still was shaking about...........it's really uncomfortable............

I'm so unlucky, which morally-lacking bastard was it that anyhow threw things around!

Holding my phone and shining it onto the surroundings, I didn't notice anything around that looked like it could knock someone out; looks like that person who struck my head had already retrieved the crime object back already.

Sigh, forget it, I'll just take it as being plain unlucky, and it's a relief that there wasn't any loss of blood, it merely swelled a huge lump.

As expected of what Yang-laoshi said, it's quite dangerous at night, so it's best that I not stray about anyhow next time, but to conscientiously go home instead.

Oh right, I should first pick up those signed notes first. If I didn't had those notes, I couldn't justifiably skip off my night self-revisions anymore.

Wut?

I originally planned to retrieve those signed notes, but I noticed one thing, and that the inverse pentagram drawn behind those notes had disappeared!

Don't tell me that I had been dreaming earlier.........no, it can't be, I wouldn't have a reason to go to the park then.

That's strange..........how could it just vanished like that? Can it be because Yang-laoshi used some kind of magic marker or something like that to draw it out? Just for the sake of pranking, thus drawing that out?

Ayy, forget it forget it, I'm too lazy to think that much already. Whenever I start to think, my head starts hurting, so I chose to stop pondering about it right now.

Because of my headache, it even made my mood much more horrid. After stuffing those signed notes into my pocket, I once again stepped onto the path leading towards home.

As it's already past midnight, the time really is a little too late, so I tried my best to speed up my footsteps. Usually reaching home after walking for half an hour's time, currently I merely spent roughly 20 minutes before arriving at my house entrance.

Entering from the front door, after I took off my shoes I didn't switch into my slippers; the right-handed side were the stairs leading towards the second floor. I attempted to not make any noise at all as I traversed up the staircase, which was why I didn't wear any slippers, for because no matter how careful you are, while wearing slippers there will always be that 'pa ta pa ta' footstep sounds.

Although that level of noise shouldn't be that loud to wake them up, but it's better to be a little more cautious.

Judging from the shoes in the shoe-cabinet, Laobà and Laomā seemed not to be at home. Laomà's an okuribito, and Laobà's a surgeon, because of their special nature of their occupation, they would often stay out all night........I'm long been used to it, and it's possible that it's because of this special family environment which resulted in my 'flowing along with the wind' kind of personality, probably.

But because my meimeis were still around, that's why I'll need to stay quiet a little in order not to wake them up.

I've just walked up the second floor and was thinking of continuing walking up to the third and directly into my room, when I heard an aloof voice.

”Who is it?”

Nn, this really is such a coincidence............by the way, since you're around why didn't you just switch on the lights.

”Ah, it's me.........you haven't sleep yet huh, Xin Ran.”

I slightly awkwardly spoke to meimei whom I had no idea where she was, and walked downwards to the second floor to look for the corridor light switch for the second floor, I remember it seemed to be right beside the stairs entrance.........ah, found it.

Pressing upwards onto the switch, the instant the light appeared I uncontrollably yelped.

”Wah!”

I've just opened the light to notice that meimei was just standing right in front of me! Also the distance was too close until she was almost sticking up to my cheeks already!

I hastily retreated a step backwards, but Xin Ran instead chased a step forward, interrogating: ”How come you came back so late?”

Her face! Her face's too close already! I can even feel her breathing!!

”Err......”

As I said, I noticed something strange.

Meimei's face looked as cute as usual........nonono, the main point wasn't about there!

I frowned my eyebrows as I glanced above Xin Ran's long hair upper region, and there indicated a series of pink-colored words.

”..........”

I suddenly am able to see strange stuff already.
