To distract herself, Mu Ru took her pen and scribbled on the back of her notebook.
Her mind started to wander again. She found herself in the pitch-black room. She was in a daze as she lay on the bed and fell asleep. Suddenly, she felt a pair of hands grope her body with incredible speed. She then felt someone's ice-cold lips press against hers. They smelled faintly of wine.
Mu Ru roused herself from her daydreaming and reminiscing. She stopped scribbling and gazed blankly at her notebook. She raised her hand and unconsciously touched her lips.
Last night, did that devil drink wine?
His lips smelled and tasted faintly of wine.
His kiss was overbearing, strong, yet heart-wrenching. There was also that intense rhythm.
"Mu Ru...Mu Ru!"
Cheng Feier, who was sitting next to her, poked Mu Ru with her elbow. She was softly and nervously saying Mu Ru's name over and over.
"Class dismissed?" Mu Ru suddenly asked as she stood up and grabbed her bag.
Just as she was about to leave, she looked around and realized that she had made a mistake.
Her classmates sat quietly and were staring at her. The teacher on the podium was stunned by her behavior.
"Xi Muru, please answer my question."
The lecturer was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and was looking at Mu Ru with a smile.
Mu Ru was muttering while she stood frozen. "This... this..."
Mu Ru tried her best to recall what the teacher said, but she had no idea what the teacher had said and did not know what to say.
She lowered her head slightly and covered her mouth with her hand as she looked at Cheng Feier.
"What's the problem?" she asked Cheng Feier.
Cheng Feier was embarrassed for Mu Ru. She covered her mouth, but she could not speak. She thought of writing a note to Mu Ru because the lecturer was staring at both of them.
She muttered something to Mu Ru, but Mu Ru was not sure she had heard it right.
Ghost literature? How come she had never heard of it before?
She tried her best to come up with an answer. "This...ghost generation literature is about supernatural incidents. It represents the Author Pu Songling and his works, such as Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio or Painted Skin," Mu Ru said.
Suddenly, the entire class burst into laughter.
Xi Muru had just opened her mouth when Cheng Feier, who was beside her, collapsed on the table in defeat. "Sister, I said Ancient Literature!" Cheng Feier said.
"Xi Muru!"
The lecturer turned green in rage. The veins on his forehead bulged as he shouted Mu Ru's name.
"Xi Muru!" he called out again.
Their teacher was clearly very angry.
However, as soon as the bell rang, Mu Ru immediately grabbed her bag and ran towards the door. She did not even look back.
"Goodbye, Teacher. I'll answer your questions in the next class!" she said to her teacher.
She quickly ran downstairs. While rushing down the stairs, she heard her teacher calling out to her.
"Xi Muru, you're so detestable. Don't assume that you're getting any credit for this class!"
"Xi Muru, you're too funny!" Cheng Feier said.
Cheng Feier was laughing loudly. Her hearty laughter spread to almost every corner of the campus.
"Cheng Feier, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Mu Ru muttered.
Xi Muru was furious. She placed her hands on her waist and glared angrily at Cheng Feier, who was laughing arrogantly and proudly.
