C2 (1/2)
I heard my grandpa talk about the ghost breathing story, in his mouth, hear the ghost breathing, that is the sign of the ghost upper body.
I held my breath, the mosquitoes still buzzing in my ears.
Silence. It was so quiet that it was suffocating.
I don't know how much time had passed, maybe a second, maybe ten thousand years, when I suddenly heard another sigh. This sigh was even deeper and stranger than the previous one.
This time, I am certain that this is definitely not an illusion. Furthermore, this is definitely not the voice that I am making!
[Oh my god. My heart is pounding. Although I am a loyal supporter of atheism, under these circumstances, it is hard not to be afraid!]
What should he do when he hears the sound of the breathing of ghosts? Grandpa didn't tell me.
Back then, when fortune-teller came to my house and wrote eight words for me, I gave a snort of contempt to that fortune-teller. Luckily, I didn't give him face and mocked him. The fortune-teller didn't get angry when he saw me laughing at him. He only smiled.
I didn't think so then, but now I feel a little regretful thinking about it. Why didn't I ask him about the method to deal with the filth he encountered back then?
Right now, he had no other choice but to brace himself and wait for dawn to arrive.
However, at this time, another sound of panting could be heard. This time, the breathing sounded even more impudent. It was simply a moan, a strange and terrifying moan!
I quickly covered my head with the blanket. Sweat was seeping out of my forehead. I didn't know if it was due to the cold sweat or the hot sweat.
I didn't dare stick my head out of the quilt for fear that the moment I stuck my head out, I would see an evil ghost with a face full of blood and a jaw that was missing a few eyes panting at me.
My mind was filled with the horrifying appearances of all kinds of evil spirits, and my body was already starting to tremble.
But after that, the panting sound disappeared.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the mosquitoes in his ears continued to buzz non-stop, but that panting sound never appeared again.
I gathered up my courage and pulled back the covers. Only then did I realize that my entire body was drenched in sweat.
It was already dawn. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already 5: 11.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, a creaking sound suddenly came from under the bed … When I heard this, I was startled. I was terrified, but I still turned around and looked down.
The cabinet that I did not clean automatically opened!
The panting just now couldn't have come from inside this cabinet, right? I wanted to say this, but my curiosity overcame my fear.
Curiosity drove me to slowly get out of bed, walk out of bed, and walk slowly towards the cabinet …
”Chi Chi!” A mouse suddenly jumped out of the cupboard, scaring me into jumping up!
When he looked inside the cabinet again, it was completely empty. There was nothing inside …
I couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. However, I still felt a lingering fear towards the strange breathing sound.
It was already half past five and the sky was already bright. I simply stopped sleeping and walked to the balcony. Looking at the faint red glow of the morning sun in the east, I relaxed my mood.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the balcony of the dormitory next door. I raised my head and saw a guy about 1.7 meters in height walking out with a pair of underwear.
When he saw me, he smiled at me, waved his underwear, and greeted me.
I looked at his underwear and smiled awkwardly.
He said, ”I'm called An Gui. We'll be classmates from now on.”
The dorms of Guangzhou University of Technology were divided according to the class, and the students in the same class were basically divided into neighboring dormitories.
I smiled and replied, ”My name is Guang Gongnan.” Then, he pointed to the underwear in his hand and said, ”Classmate, you're really diligent. I'll wash it now …” ”Mm, laundry.”
However, An Gui didn't feel embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, ”It's my first night in the dormitory. My girlfriend isn't around. Haha, it's hard to endure loneliness, so I … hehe, it's hard on you to get these underwear. You know what, haha.”
It was rare, I thought, to be so honest as to come out so fearlessly.
Then he thought, ”Could it be that the panting from last night came from this guy?”
An Gui turned on the tap. While washing his underwear, he said to me, ”Classmate, you probably made a sound last night. Did you not disturb me?” Listening to the soundproofing effect of this building's walls was extremely bad. But then again, it's already midnight, so you should be asleep as well. Furthermore, it's so quiet, so you probably didn't hear it. ”
I felt really awkward. If someone were to know that I was scared to the point that I nearly peed my pants in the middle of the night due to the sound produced by the male student in the dormitory next door, I don't know whether they would laugh out loud or not.
Sigh, I have to be more daring in the future. I can't be suspicious anymore. Am I not an atheist's loyal supporter? How could he be scared by a ghost that did not exist at all?
Since we had greeted each other on the balcony, I got to know the owner of the dormitory next door, so we went to the cafeteria together for lunch.
During dinner, he might have just gotten to know her, but there were still some constraints and didn't talk much. He just talked about where his home was, how was his previous high school, and whether he had a girlfriend or not.
An Gui was a local. However, since he lived in the outskirts of the city, his family background was not too bad. His father was a leader of a state-owned enterprise, his mother was a middle school teacher, and he was the only son. He was quite ambitious as he was admitted into this university that was considered pretty good in the prefecture city.
