Chapter 495 The Gaze in the Dark

As the end of the semester approaches, the learning atmosphere in the top classes is becoming increasingly intense, and some students who are ranked lower are becoming more and more nervous.

Although the rule is that a student will only be kicked out of the top class if their score is surpassed by someone in the direct-advancement class three times in a row, no one is letting their guard down.

Because if someone's score is surpassed by someone in the direct admission class even once, their monthly scholarship will be gone from their bank account, and their name will be known to the whole school.

Those who are unaware of the situation don't care how big the gap is between the bottom of the honors class and the top of the direct-entry class.

They will only see that the top classes are surpassed by the direct-entry classes.

For students with good grades, this is incredibly embarrassing.

So whether it's to keep their monthly scholarship of 1,000 yuan or to save face, they have every reason to work hard for the final exams.

This is especially evident in Yi Wenna, who got in through connections.

Every exam, big or small, she gives it her all. In the days leading up to the exam, she goes to bed later and wakes up earlier than anyone else.

Although there is still some time before the exam, this is a final exam with a school-wide ranking.

Unlike the usual monthly exams and quizzes.

Therefore, Yi Wenna entered exam preparation mode early and studied extremely diligently.

He even reduced the number of times he would chat with Ye Qing during breaks.

But in the past few days, Yi Wenna has been distracted and dozing off in class. She runs to the office as soon as get out of class is over, and looks worried during lunch.

Not to mention Ye Qing, even Chen Zili, who occasionally passed by while collecting homework, noticed that something was wrong.

Finally, after Yi Wenna returned from the office again, Ye Qing couldn't help but ask, "Silly Na, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem so absent-minded?"

"Ah... ah?"

Yi Wenna stared blankly at Ye Qing, seemingly not yet understanding what Ye Qing had asked.

Ye Qing urged, "Just say what's on your mind. Why haven't you been so slow before?"

Yi Wenna looked left and right, as if searching for someone.

After hesitating for a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Qing... can I stay at your house for a few days?"

"Hmm? You've been spacing out every day lately just thinking about this?"

Ye Qing was completely speechless at Yi Wenna's behavior.

"Let me finish speaking!"

Afraid that Ye Qing would refuse, Yi Wenna quickly grabbed her arm: "I've been encountering some strange things in the dormitory lately!"

"What a strange thing."

Ye Qing asked calmly.

Yi Wenna said nervously, "Isn't it almost final exam time? I've been studying every night until almost midnight before going to bed... It's during this time that I've been feeling like someone is watching me."

Ye Qing looked at Yi Wenna with the same concern one would show a mentally challenged person: "Oh, and then?"

Clearly, Ye Qing didn't quite believe Yi Wenna's explanation.

Yi Wenna didn't notice the casualness in Ye Qing's tone and said nervously, "The first time I had this feeling, I went and drew the curtains in the room."

But the next night, I discovered that no matter how I drew the curtains, I couldn't completely close the window; there was always a gap!

Ye Qing nodded casually: "This is quite normal. The curtains must have been made too small. Mine were like that at first too, and I later paid extra to get larger ones..."

"The curtains aren't the key!"

Yi Wenna finally realized Ye Qing's perfunctory attitude, and her voice trembled with a hint of tears: "Someone really is spying on my room! They even came in!"

Yi Wenna's helpless appearance reminded Ye Qing of her when she was in junior high school.

Now Ye Qing couldn't be sure whether Yi Wenna was just making excuses to stay at her house or if she had really encountered a peeping tom.

Ye Qing turned around completely and faced Yi Wenna seriously, saying, "But I remember the dormitory doors have electronic locks, right? Are you sure someone has been in your room?"

"Someone really did come in!"

Yi Wenna gripped Ye Qing's arm tightly, her eyes beginning to well up with tears: "The night before last, I deliberately slipped a small piece of thread of the same color into my underwear, and also stuffed a small piece of hair into the gap in the wardrobe drawer."

But when I checked my underwear last night, that loose thread was gone! And the hair was gone too! Someone definitely tampered with my clothes!

If it's a two-person dorm room, the loose thread issue could be explained by the roommate accidentally taking the wrong clothes.

But Evanna is now living alone in the dormitory, and no one else can enter her room except herself.

Considering what she said about the gaze before, this is quite terrifying.

Ye Qing's smile faded, and her expression turned serious: "Have you told the teacher about this?"

Yi Wenna said, like a bullied little wife, "I went to talk to Teacher Qiao. She helped me retrieve the elevator surveillance footage yesterday. I just went to her office to talk about this."

Ye Qing had a general idea of ​​the outcome, but she still asked, "Did you find anything?"

"...The elevator surveillance can only confirm that no boys have been to the girls' floors. There are no surveillance cameras in the dormitory corridors, so it's impossible to determine whether anyone else has been to my room."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Yi Wenna's eyes. She said in a sob, "Teacher Qiao said that I did not lose any property and could not confirm whether anyone had actually been in the room."

So all I can do is ask the dorm supervisor to pay more attention; I don't have any better ideas..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Wenna could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face: "Teacher Qiao said she could help me apply for day student accommodation and stay outside for a while, so I wanted to go to your place, Xiao Qing, sob sob..."

That's just how it is sometimes.

Even when I'm alone, I can still handle the pressure.

But once someone is willing to listen to your troubles and comfort you, you can no longer control your emotions.

Ye Qing gently patted Yi Wenna's head to comfort her.

Most people might think that this is just their oversensitivity and that no one is actually watching them.

However, Yi Wenna suffered psychological trauma from a stalker during junior high school, and was extremely afraid of him, even to the point of being afraid of boys who approached her.

When a person is hurt or traumatized because of their outstanding appearance, they may be left with psychological trauma.

Alternatively, one can dress in an extremely inconspicuous manner to prevent others from noticing them.

Or they might develop a backlash, dressing themselves up to be extremely beautiful, to the point that others are intimidated and feel unworthy of them.

Evanna is the latter.

She dressed herself up beautifully, not to attract attention, but to build a seemingly strong yet fragile defense.

This is similar to Fang Xinlei.

Moreover, if what Ivy said is true...

All signs indicate that someone did indeed sneak into Ivy's room while she was away.

Imagine a girl's room being spied on and broken into by someone of unknown gender, who even rummages through her closet and takes out her underwear. Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine.

There's really no point in living...
