My very cool daughter-in-law

The "we" in Yu Meng's mouth refers to the roommate who lives in the same dormitory with her and Yu Miaomiao.

Yu Meng and Yu Miaomiao are good friends who share the same bed and different classes, because they both have the surname "yu" and they pronounce it with the second tone. If you don't read the characters, they seem to have the same surname, so they are not familiar with each other. The teachers and classmates mistakenly thought they were family members, thinking that they were sisters.

Of course they are not real sisters, but this special fate makes them familiar with each other since they first entered the school, and now they are almost as close as real sisters.

The day when Yu Miaomiao had "auditory hallucinations" for the first time, Yu Meng still remembered that it was the eve of a normal weekly exam.The lights in their dormitories are turned off at 10:30, but many of them have small desk lamps, and they will continue to study secretly for a while after the lights are turned off collectively.

Yu Meng is a member who is used to "fighting guerrillas", as are the other girls in the dormitory, but Yu Miaomiao is special, she usually joins the team of "fighting guerrillas". I will leave the team temporarily, so I must rest early before the exam.

Just like what Teacher Song had revealed to Sheng Xun, Yu Miaomiao's family strictly controlled her grades, and even a small test like the weekly exam required her daughter not to relax, and to always pay attention to any slight ups and downs on Yu Miaomiao's report card. .

This put a lot of pressure on Yu Miaomiao.

She is the kind of child who is very afraid of disappointing her parents and teachers. A look from her parents can make her uneasy for many days. She really tried her best to hope that she could satisfy her parents.

So even though Yu Miaomiao's grades were already considered good, and her rankings in the quiz and major exams were not bad, but invisible anxiety had been hanging over her head like a cloud.

Before each exam, she must go to bed early, otherwise she will fall into the continuous negative/emotions of "I didn't go to bed early, I must be in a bad state, and I can't pass the exam" the next day until the mentality is completely unstable. , hit hard.

Yu Meng and the other girls in the dormitory have been living with Yu Miaomiao for a year, and they will be the second year of high school when they officially start school. Everyone has known about Yu Miaomiao's problem for a long time. The relationship between the girls is pretty good, and they try to be considerate.

"Go to sleep, I'll dim the lamp." Yu Meng still remembered what she said to Yu Miaomiao that night.

Yu Miaomiao slept on the lower bunk opposite her, and they were on opposite beds, separated only by a long table in the middle of the bedroom.

Yu Meng saw Yu Miaomiao was the first to climb onto the bed in the whole bedroom, and she vaguely responded to her. After dimming her small desk lamp, she adjusted the angle smoothly, so that as little light as possible fell on the opposite bed.

"Good night, Miaomiao."

"You are temporarily approved to leave the team. Remember to apply for rejoining the team on time tomorrow."

"Tomorrow will be fine, rest assured and sleep."

The other roommates in the dormitory also greeted the girls who went to bed early one after another. The atmosphere was so beautiful in the girls’ whispers with smiles. The sound of paper flipping and the rustling sound of the pen tip sweeping across the paper, those noises are not noisy, but there is an indescribable irony.

Yu Miaomiao fell asleep under this soft package.

She fully thought that when she opened her eyes again, she would see the dormitory illuminated by natural daylight, and the next day would be an ordinary and energetic day, and she would be the first person in the dormitory to get up early, and she was going to be the same as before. , get up as quietly as possible, and then take care of the roommates' breakfast, as a reward for everyone's consideration for her going to bed early-she has done this every time in the past.

But in the middle of the night, it's hard to tell what time it was, and Yu Miaomiao woke up very suddenly.

She was awakened by a rustling noise.

Is it because someone accidentally bumped into the table or dragged the chair accidentally tonight, or is it because someone worked too late today and has not rested at this time, and even a small movement in the middle of the night sounds more harsh than usual?

Yu Miaomiao was thinking in such a daze when she just returned to her consciousness, she was still half-slumped in sleepiness, her first perception of the environment was that the dormitory seemed to be very dark.

The bedroom was very dark with no light at all.

This means that there should not be roommates working night shifts at this hour.

Yu Miaomiao woke up a bit, and the second thought that entered her mind was - is it because Mengmeng and the others stayed up late before, so someone got up to go to the bathroom at this hour?

The girl really didn't think in other directions, all guesses revolved around her roommate.

After she came to this dormitory, she was much happier than at home. Many students who live in the school love their homes. For her, it is a place where she can relax and feel at ease more than at home.

Few people will be cranky in a place full of security.

But tonight, there might be a force in the dark that wanted to break Yu Miaomiao's sense of security.

Her completely awake mind recognized the reality, and her vision, which was still ignorant when she just woke up, also saw clearly the situation in the dormitory.

There was no light, no one, and the roommates were all asleep on their respective beds, and their slightly undulating silhouettes could be vaguely seen under the quilt.

... So, what woke her up?

Yu Miaomiao was thinking blankly, and suddenly she began to feel nervous for no reason.

The dormitory immersed in the night is inexplicably strange, as if everything is no longer the familiar cozy nest, they are quietly changed by the too deep night.

"boom."

The sound came suddenly.

It was so abrupt that the girl almost screamed out.

Yu Miaomiao's nervousness quickly turned into fear at this moment, even though she didn't know what she was afraid of, but the girl might be born with a sixth sense, she grabbed her thin quilt tightly and even held her breath, In the darkness that returned to silence, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

And soon, the second "bang" sounded again.

Yu Miaomiao's hands and feet were cold, and she felt that this sound seemed a little closer than before.

She was trying to persuade herself not to scare herself, maybe it was just her illusion that it was closer——

"boom."

The third beep sounded again.

Yu Miaomiao couldn't lie to herself this time, the voice was indeed getting closer and closer to her, and what was even more frightening was that she couldn't tell what made the noise at all, she just felt like something was on the same plane on a steady tap.

When people are extremely frightened, it turns out that they can't even cry out if they want to.

Yu Miaomiao didn't dare to move, her limbs were stiff as if she was just a doll in the shape of a girl.

She cowered in the dark.

Then immediately after, she heard a fourth "bang".

This sound was more terrifying than any previous sound, because it no longer had a space distance from Yu Miaomiao even though it was gradually approaching.

This sound came directly from the bed board above Yu Miaomiao's head.

Yu Miaomiao's bunk is the lower bunk. Their dormitory is a traditional eight-person dormitory, but only five people live there. Her upper bunk happens to be empty, and she uses it to stack books and other items that cannot fit in other cabinets.

What is on top of her head where there is no sleeper?

Yu Miaomiao hardly dared to think about this question.

At that moment, her mind was frozen in panic, and she couldn't think, and couldn't think of anything—not even running out of bed or screaming for help from her roommate.

Yu Miaomiao was just frozen in place, she couldn't even close her eyes, she could only stare at the bed board above.

After a while, there seemed to be no movement above the bed board, and the fifth weird "bang" sound had not been heard for a long time.

However, Yu Miaomiao did not dare to take it lightly.

Because she suddenly noticed that on the edge of the bed frame, something seemed to be slowly hanging down from the upper bunk.

At first they looked like ropes or threads, tangled in clusters, dangling along the edge of the upper bunk.

After shaking on his own for a while, under the gaze of Yu Miaomiao's eyes widened to the limit, the "thing" slowly moved down, and finally revealed more of its appearance to the terrified girl.

Moments later, the girl's scream cut through the night.

"What did she see?" When Sheng Xun asked, he and Yu Meng had already left the classroom building corridor where people came and went, and arrived in a relatively quiet small garden on campus.

At this point of lunch, the crowd mainly gathers in the cafeteria, dormitory and campus supermarket.

There are few people in the small garden and it is quiet, a place suitable for conversation.

Yu Meng stood a few steps in front of Sheng Xun. She was one of the people who was woken up by Yu Miaomiao's scream that night. She would tell Sheng Xun about the past, as if the sun above her head couldn't dispel the chill.

She shivered in the sun, and said softly: "Miaomiao said... that what she saw was a face. An upside-down face."
