"Don't be afraid, don't get too worked up, Xia Xiaoyu. You need to relax your emotions. How about this: let's not sleep just yet; we'll chat with you!"
Liu Feifei felt a bit reluctant seeing the situation. Although they hadn't seen Surin's lifeless body, the commotion around the University made it clear that a death was no small matter.
"…"
Upon hearing Liu Feifei's words, Xia Xiaoyu gradually calmed down. The others continued to talk about happy things to distract her thoughts.
As they kept talking, by early morning around four o'clock, under the persuasion of several people, Xia Xiaoyu slowly fell asleep. Liu Feifei and the others quietly sat in the single patient room, watching over her.
They naturally had no idea what was going through Xia Xiaoyu's mind or the strange events she had encountered. If Surin's death had been normal, Xia Xiaoyu wouldn't have reacted so strongly. But she understood that this was not the case.
Especially Surin's eyes, which had been fixed on the rooftop in his final moments, indicated that everything was not as simple as it seemed.
However, after encountering so many bizarre events, any girl might have been scared out of her wits, but Xia Xiaoyu was not. Sometimes, when you face something often enough, it loses its fear factor.
The next day at noon, Xia Xiaoyu was mostly fine. The hospital had completed the necessary procedures, and she could return to the University.
"Let's go eat something outside first and then head back to the University?"
Seeing that Xia Xiaoyu was okay, Chen Mumu and the others felt relieved.
They were genuinely worried that Xia Xiaoyu might fall into despair.
In fact, they had many questions in their minds, such as how Surin and Xia Xiaoyu ended up at the Old Building, especially late at night, and how Surin had died!
This does not mean that they were not moved by Surin's death; they certainly felt something. After all, living in the same dormitory, they shared their nights together. The suddenness of her passing was a feeling that couldn't be easily articulated.
It felt like a dream; they had not fully woken up to the reality that someone who was perfectly fine just yesterday had suddenly died.
Anyone would feel something in their heart in such a situation!
Although Surin had always acted quite strangely and was rather cold, she was not difficult to accept. She never caused any trouble for the dormitory. After living together for several weeks, everyone had grown accustomed to her presence, but now that she was suddenly gone, it left an emptiness in their hearts.
They grabbed a quick bite outside and then headed towards the University.
"Sister Chen Mumu, hasn’t that novel you mentioned last time been updated yet?"
"No, not yet. No rush; it updates at most three times a week!"
"By the way, Tian Xiaojing, why haven’t we seen your new boyfriend lately?"
"Don’t mention it; we broke up!"
"How did that happen?"
"Oh, come on! What era are we in? Everyone is just playing around; it’s not that serious. Besides, she and I are like fe and fv! We’re just not on the same wavelength."
"…"
Along the way, they chatted back and forth about trivial matters. Although these topics seemed unimportant, Xia Xiaoyu understood that they were trying to divert their thoughts.
By the time they returned to the dormitory, it was already past one in the afternoon.
Everyone had hardly slept through the night and were now weakly sprawled on their beds. Suddenly, the entire dormitory became much quieter.
In just three weeks, two murders had occurred in the dormitory, and Xia Xiaoyu knew that this was far from over.
At three in the afternoon, the homeroom teacher, Li Hongmei, personally called for Xia Xiaoyu in the dormitory.
The police department requested that Xia Xiaoyu go in to give a statement, as she was a witness at the time and had appeared at the Old Building so late at night under such strange circumstances. It was completely necessary for her to provide a statement.
Xia Xiaoyu understood the routine and went to the police station to give her account. She did not embellish anything nor did she tell any lies.
She felt no need for excessive explanations. Even if the police personnel suspected her, Xia Xiaoyu would not be nervous; after all, the officers were not incompetent.
The investigations conducted at the scene and various clues indicated that it was impossible for her to have done anything at that time. Moreover, she and Surin were merely roommates with no animosity between them; there was no reason for her to harm Surin.
Xia Xiaoyu believed that the police already had this information. Even if they remained suspicious of her, the facts of the case were clear.
She also believed that soon enough, the police would understand the truth.
However, what the police considered "the truth" was simply that Surin had gone to the Old Building with a purpose that night and accidentally fell from the rooftop, resulting in her death.
But was it really like that?
