Several minutes had passed since Jiang Hongyi disappeared into the shadows of the corridor.

Su Xiaobai stood still and looked at her hands.

The tips of that senior's ears were bright red.

"They run pretty fast."

He muttered something to himself, then his gaze fell on the wall of the corridor.

There was a yellowed notice board there, with dark red lettering that looked frightening.

To the average person, the words on it look like this:

[Rules for School Building Corridors]

1. Do not make eye contact with anyone in the hallway for more than three seconds.

2. If you hear footsteps approaching from behind, run forward immediately without turning around.

3. When the senior in red appears, please close your eyes until she leaves.

4. Anyone who violates the above rules will be permanently detained here.

But in Su Xiaobai's eyes...

The words twisted and turned pink.

[A Guide to Dating in the School Building Corridor]

1. Please make a deep eye contact with the lovely figure in the hallway for at least three seconds.

2. If you hear footsteps approaching from behind, stop and wait for her; this could be a romantic encounter.

3. When the senior in red appears, please open your eyes wide and appreciate her beauty.

4. Those who follow the above guidelines will gain +1 point of favorability from the senior student.

Su Xiaobai's lips twitched.

"This talent... is about understanding how to create a good show."

He cleared his throat.

Then, in a voice that is neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for someone hiding in the shadows to hear, begin to recite.

"A Guide to Dating in the School Building Corridor..."

In the shadows, Jiang Hongyi hadn't gone far.

She leaned against the wall at the corner, clutching the scissors tightly in her hand.

The tips of the scissors were still dripping something.

Black and viscous.

That was the manifestation of her resentment.

She originally planned to wait until this foolish human finished reading the rules and was terrified before giving him the final blow.

result……

"Please gaze deeply into the eyes of the lovely figure in the hallway for at least three seconds..."

Su Xiaobai read very carefully, with clear and distinct pronunciation.

Jiang Hongyi was stunned.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the spot where she had just been standing.

A cute figure?

Are you talking about her?

"If you hear footsteps approaching from behind, stop and wait for her; it could be a romantic encounter..."

Su Xiaobai continued reading.

Jiang Hongyi looked down at her feet.

She really does walk without making a sound.

But that's not the point!

The key question is, who wrote these rules?!

"When the senior in red appears, please open your eyes wide and appreciate her beauty..."

When Su Xiaobai read this sentence, she emphasized the word "beautiful".

Jiang Hongyi's hand trembled slightly.

The black liquid on the scissors dripped at a slower rate.

The color also started to lighten.

It gradually changed from black to dark red.

And then...

It turned bright red.

Just like real blood.

No.

In Su Xiaobai's eyes, that was no longer blood.

They are flower petals.

Rose petals.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces.

It floated down from the tip of the scissors, swirling in the air.

Su Xiaobai walked over and caught one of them.

It's soft and has a faint fragrance.

He looked up and gazed in the direction of the corner.

"Senior, you dropped something."

Jiang Hongyi came out from behind the corner.

Her expression was complicated.

There was anger, confusion, and a hint of panic that she herself didn't even realize...

"What...what are you reciting?"

Her voice was a little dry.

Su Xiaobai shook the flower petals in her hand.

"The rules."

"You call this a rule?"

"Otherwise what?" Su Xiaobai asked innocently. "It's written quite clearly: you have to gaze deeply into your senior's eyes, wait for her, and admire her beauty..."

"That's fake!" Jiang Hongyi interrupted him, raising her voice slightly. "The real rules are..."

"What is it?" Su Xiaobai asked, looking at her.

Jiang Hongyi opened her mouth, but suddenly couldn't say anything.

The bloody words in her mind seemed a little blurry at this moment.

Instead, Su Xiaobai recited those sweet and delicate words.

They gazed at each other with deep affection.

A romantic encounter.

Appreciate beauty.

Her face felt a little hot.

"Who...who exactly are you?"

Jiang Hongyi stared at Su Xiaobai, raising the scissors in her hand.

But the vote was not high.

Moreover, flower petals were still falling from the tips of the scissors.

Su Xiaobai took a step forward.

Jiang Hongyi subconsciously took a half step back.

"My name is Su Xiaobai," Su Xiaobai said with a smile. "I already told you."

That's not what I was asking!

"Then what did you ask?"

Why...aren't you afraid of me?

Jiang Hongyi herself found it strange when she asked that question.

She would never ask this kind of question before.

She only knows how to take direct action.

But today, she asked.

Su Xiaobai took another step forward.

This time, Jiang Hongyi did not return.

The two were now only two steps apart.

Su Xiaobai could see her eyes clearly.

Very beautiful eyes.

But there are too many things hidden inside.

Sadness, resentment, and... loneliness.

"Why should I be afraid of you?" Su Xiaobai retorted.

"Because I will kill you."

"You didn't kill him just now."

"That was...that was an accident!"

"Oh." Su Xiaobai nodded. "So, what now? Should we kill them?"

He handed over the flower petals in his hand.

"Here are your flowers back."

Jiang Hongyi looked at the petal.

Bright red and soft, it lay in his palm.

She never received any flowers.

He did not have it during his lifetime.

There was nothing after death.

All she received was betrayal, hurt, cold scissors, and an even colder death.

But now...

Someone caught the "blood" dripping from her scissors.

Then say, this is a flower.

Give it back to her.

Jiang Hongyi's hands were trembling.

The scissors slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

It made a soft "clang" sound.

The petals on the tip of the scissors scattered all over the ground.

Su Xiaobai bent down and picked up the scissors.

It feels cool to the touch.

But it's very light.

"Senior, girls shouldn't always carry such dangerous things."

He handed the scissors back to Jiang Hongyi.

Jiang Hongyi did not answer.

She just looked at him.

Looked for a long time.

Then, she suddenly turned around.

"You can leave now."

Her voice was very soft.

"Leave here."

"Let's go now."

Su Xiaobai didn't move.

"And what about you?"

"Me?" Jiang Hongyi had her back to him. "I should have been here."

"one person?"

"..."

Jiang Hongyi didn't say anything.

But her shoulders trembled slightly.

Su Xiaobai walked up behind her.

Very close.

I was so close I could smell a faint scent on her, like a mixture of old books and dust.

There was also a faint... almost imperceptible fragrance.

"It's so boring being alone," Su Xiaobai said. "How about we go together?"

Jiang Hongyi turned around abruptly.

"Do you even know what you're saying?!"

Her eyes reddened.

It's not the kind of red you get from crying.

It's anger.

And... other things too.

"This is the world of ghost stories! I am the supernatural! I am the supernatural that will kill you!"

She practically screamed it out.

But there was a tremor in his voice.

Su Xiaobai looked at her.

Very peaceful.

"I know."

"Then why..."

"But you didn't kill me," Su Xiaobai interrupted her. "Not only did you not kill me, you even let me go."

He smiled.

What does this mean?

"That means you've softened your heart."
