Chapter 275: Chapter 275 Continuous Nightmares_1

Fang Yiyi quickly walked over, unzipped Zhou Zing’s backpack and, sure enough, found her own phone inside.

Looking at Zhou Zing with disdain, Fang Yiyi coldly said, "You really can’t judge a person by appearance. Our class’s beauty is actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing."

Zhou Zing’s face turned even paler. She vehently shook her head and defended herself, "It wasn’t ... I didn’t..."

Fang Yiyi relentlessly retorted, "Caught red-handed, and you still dare to argue?"

Chen Lan was surprised that the phone was found in Zhou Zing’s bag. Though Zhou Zing wasn’t the most academically outstanding student, she had decent grades, a cheerful personality, and was on good terms with her classmates.

Zhou Zing was totally confused and didn’t know how to explain. She just kept shaking her head and saying, "It wasn’t . It really wasn’t ."

However, the phone was indeed found in her bag. All her classmates saw it, and anything she said seed futile.

Chen Lan approached Zhou Zing and Fang Yiyi and said, "Alright, since the phone has been recovered, you two stay behind. The rest of the students may leave."

Upon hearing Chen Lan’s words, the other students began to pack their bags and slowly filed out of the room.

But everyone cast her a glance as they passed Zhou Zing.

Their gazes were filled with contempt, scorn, sympathy, disgust...

Zhou Zing watched as nearly all her classmates left the room. By tomorrow, or even tonight, news that she was a thief would spread throughout the whole school. In a few days, her relatives, neighbors, and her parents’ colleagues would likely also know.

Everyone would look at her with those eyes full of contempt and disgust.

As if saying: "Look, that pretty girl is a thief. She actually has sticky fingers!"

Just as all the students were about to leave, the person Zhou Zing cared about the most also stood up.

Yang Yihang, the class’s sports representative, the handsost boy in class, and the crush of many girls.

Just last week, he confessed his feelings to Zhou Zing. They both agreed to focus on their studies first, aim to get into the best high school in N city, and then enter the sa university.

As Yang Yihang walked past Zhou Zing, he paused and looked at her.

Zhou Zing had kept her head down all this ti, avoiding everyone’s gaze. But when Yang Yihang looked at her, she raised her head and t his eyes.

And then, she regretted it.

His eyes were filled with disappointnt and suspicion. It was as if he was saying, "I can’t believe you’re this kind of girl. I must have been terribly mistaken about you!"

After stopping for a few seconds beside Zhou Zing, Yang Yihang too turned and walked towards the classroom door.

As Zhou Zing watched Yang Yihang’s retreating back, tears involuntarily stread down her face. It felt as if once Yang Yihang left, he would never look back.

Out of the blue, a crazy thought suddenly burst into Zhou Zing’s mind.

She couldn’t accept this treatnt from others. She couldn’t bear their scornful and suspicious looks, and she was determined to prove her innocence.

"I didn’t steal anything!" Zhou Zing suddenly yelled towards Yang Yihang, who was heading for the door.

The few remaining people in the classroom were startled and stared in shock at Zhou Zing.

Chen Lan was about to say sothing to comfort Zhou Zing, to tell her not to panic.

But before she could speak, Zhou Zing turned and ran towards the window.

Chen Lan didn’t initially understand what was happening. It wasn’t until Zhou Zing stood on the windowsill that she realized sothing was wrong. Horrified, she shouted, "Zhou Zing, co down! Don’t do anything foolish!"

Zhou Zing seed not to hear. She turned towards the evening sky outside the window and yelled, "I didn’t steal anything!"

Then, she jumped.

The classroom was on the fifth floor. Zhou Zing died instantly upon hitting the ground, blood pooling around her.

Zhou Zing’s horoom teacher, school administrators, the police, and her family arrived at the scene one after another.

The scene was chaotic. Chen Lan could feel her head buzzing, and she was almost incapable of thinking.

Of course, Zhou Zing’s family was not easily pacified. However, after viewing the surveillance footage, it was clear that Chen Lan had not reprimanded or scolded Zhou Zing in any way. She had only asked her to stay in the classroom to wait for the horoom teacher.

Thinking of the bigger picture, the school voluntarily provided Zhou Zing’s family with so compensation. They also held Chen Lan responsible for her lack of supervision and docked her pay for three months.

Chen Lan did not think there was anything wrong with her handling of the situation. But indeed, Zhou Zing had jumped from the building right under her watch. Out of sympathy for the girl who had cut her own life short and the tragedy of it all, Chen Lan accepted the penalty from the school.

A month later, the commotion caused by the suicide finally settled down.

The family received the compensation and stopped causing trouble for the school. However, the shadow of their child’s departure would probably forever cast a pall over the family.

The classmates were the sa as ever: they attended classes, went to school and went ho, all intentionally avoiding ntioning the sensitive na. Perhaps, given so ti, they would even forget about it.

Even Chen Lan thought, what had passed could not be changed. All she could do was to continue to live her life properly.

However, the nightmares she had every night dragged her back to that brutal, blood-stained dusk ti and ti again.

After telling her story, Chen Lan let out a long sigh, "Every night, regardless of whether I go to sleep early or late, the nightmare appears. The mont when I wake up in fright, it’s always midnight.

I have tried to sleep after midnight, but I inevitably toss and turn until the scream sounds by my ear, and I jolt awake until dawn."

Chen Lan looked at Qin Sisi pleadingly and asked, "Sisi, can you help ? I’m close to breaking down."

Ye You had confird the presence of a ghost, so naturally, Qin Sisi was determined to see this through.

Qin Sisi responded to Chen Lan, "Rest assured, I will do everything in my power."

A sense of relief and gratitude washed over Chen Lan’s pale face. She said softly, "Thank you. Is there anything you need

to do?"

Qin Sisi paused to think and then said, "Not at the mont. I will stay with you tonight to see if you can get a good night’s sleep."

At that mont, Lin Shan’s clear voice rang out, "Ladies, dinner is ready. Let’s continue chatting after eating, ok?"

Qin Sisi and Chen Lan smiled at each other, rose from their seats, and walked into the dining room.

When Lin Shan brought out the four dishes and one soup she had made herself, Qin Sisi exclaid in surprise, "Shan shan, did you make all these?"

In the past, when Lin Ying was around, Lin Shan didn’t seem to be very good at cooking.

Lin Shan replied proudly, "Of course! How about that? I’m pretty impressive now, right?"

Qin Sisi gave her a thumbs up, saying, "Impressive indeed, it really is true that one should not take a person’s ability for granted after a re three days."

The three girls gathered around the dining table, discussing topics of interest to girls while eating.

Ye You glanced at Qin Sisi, who seed to have forgotten about him, and quietly started munching on his bread at the side.
