Midnight Anchorwoman - C53

I stood at the top of the stairs, and once again heard Xu Bing’s voice calling for me. I ran down the stairs, and very quickly, I saw Xu Bing standing there.

“Xia Mo, how were your results today?”

“Not bad, there are a lot of them, but they don’t seem to be giving any rewards.” I waved my hands. It was very clear to me that for people like us who do live broadcasts for the company, popularity is one aspect, and how much benefit can we bring to the company is the most important.

“Don’t think too much into it. This is a good start.”

“Alright, let’s go back to sleep and prepare for the new day.”

The two of us laughed and chatted as we walked back, “Xia Mo, don’t you feel that someone is following us?” Xu Bing intentionally or unintentionally stole a glance back, and then whispered into my ear.

“Nope.” I couldn’t help but to let out a short breath. I was really short of sleep during this period. Right now, all I wanted most was to keep on sleeping. It would be best if I didn’t wake up for a day.

“Perhaps I was overthinking it. Let’s go.” Xu Bing quickened her pace, and the two of us practically dragged each other as we ran back. Our dorm was the third one inside, the first one was empty, while the second one was given to Sun Xiaoke.

As we walked in, we vaguely heard a strange shout coming out from behind Sun Xiaoke’s door. It wasn’t a loud sound, but we could still hear it.

“Xu Bing.”

After I finished speaking, I pointed towards Sun Xiaoke’s door, meaning for her to listen.

“Let’s go, Xia Mo, don’t worry about others.”

“You’re the one who’s cowardly.”

Maybe the three of us are newbies who just joined the company, so Sun Xiaoke is obviously quite hostile towards the two of us, especially Xu Bing. Xu Bing’s appearance and voice aren’t any less than hers, maybe her chest was a bit smaller, and wasn’t as exposed as the ones she wore.

“Let’s go.”

I was almost dragged back into the dorm by Xu Bing, and when I pushed open the door, I couldn’t help but glance towards the dorm room’s door in the middle. I was really curious, just how did that low cry come from there.

“Xia Mo, you’re not removing your makeup?”

“No, I’m so tired.” After returning home, I just lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all. After walking for an entire day, it would be best if I could take a shower at this time.

“No, I have to wash off my makeup, or it will be bad for my skin.”

“Since it’s not good, why are you putting these things on your face?” I was completely pulled out of bed by Xu Bing, and my eyes were closed at that time.

“Because we are women, we must be beautiful if we are women. Moreover, we are only young for a few years. If we don’t dress ourselves beautifully, when we are old, no matter how we dress, it will be useless.”

“That’s not necessarily true. I haven’t seen any famous celebrities in their fifties or sixties, yet they’re still acting like young girls.”

You also believe those things. After taking off your makeup, you’ll be older than anyone else.

“Alright, alright.”

I had no choice but to go to the bathroom and randomly throw the water on my face. When I opened my eyes, I almost cried out. The woman in the mirror was so scary.

In the next moment, I realized that the person in the mirror was me. I couldn’t believe my eyes at all.

“Remove the makeup water, remove the makeup cotton.”

Xu Bing passed them to me one by one, I could only do it one by one according to her instructions. In the end, I washed my face clean and looked at my clean and smooth little face.

“I’ll go to sleep first.”

“Alright.”

I quickly climbed into my own bed and curled up like a dog, sleeping almost instantly. After sleeping for who knows how long, I suddenly heard someone calling for me.

“Xia Mo, Xia Mo.”

“Who?”

I tried to open my eyes, and for some reason I just couldn’t. I saw a shadow flash in front of my eyes, and I tried to get up, but my body didn’t have the strength to do so. This happened to me a lot, some people said it was a nightmare, but I didn’t think it was, because it happened to me too often.

“Who?”

I tried to shout, but the swaying shadow was leaving. I opened my eyes a crack, and in the dim light, I could not see the man’s face clearly. I could only vaguely sense that he was smiling at me.

“Xia Mo, Xia Mo, what are you doing here?” This time the sound was clear, and I felt a pain in my arm, and I woke up in an instant.

“Where is this?”

When I opened my eyes, it was actually the corridor. I was sitting on the ground, with Xu Bing squatting in front of me, tightly grabbing onto my arm. “Xia Mo, why are you sleeping here?” Xu Bing looked at me with that astonished expression.

“Right, why am I sleeping here!” I don’t even know about this. I clearly remember that after taking off my makeup, I was sleeping on the bed. Then, I vaguely heard a voice calling my name.

“Get up first.”

Xu Bing pulled me up from the ground. There was some distance between here and the door of our dorm, and I was sitting at the place near the wall of the second dorm room. In other words, during this period of time, I actually got off the bed, opened the door and walked all the way here.

“Xia Mo, what’s wrong?”

Back in the dorm, Xu Bing came closer to my bed, and I shook my head. I remembered that Ceng Jin had said that this time, I was suffering from mechanical hypoxia and that Sun Cheng, that bastard, was the one who pinched me. If I were to maintain this kind of situation for too long, my brain would be damaged.

“I really don’t know. Right, how did you discover me?”

Xu Bing sighed, “Maybe because I’ve been too tired recently, so I don’t mind. I slept for a while and suddenly I wanted to go to the toilet, but then I saw that you weren’t on the bed, and also wasn’t in the bathroom, so I pushed the door open to take a look, and then I saw you sitting on the ground with your hands extended outwards, and …”

Xu Bing stopped talking, “And what?” I really want to know what happened. What happened at that time, only Xu Bing knows.

“Moreover, your mouth is constantly calling Xia Mo.”

“Xia Mo?!” My shock at the time could be imagined. That strange dream, I only heard one person shouting my name, if it was really as Xu Bing said, then that voice could not be coming from me!

I couldn’t help but frown. What was that swaying figure? His head was starting to hurt again, and I was really worried about the repercussions. Both of my hands forcefully knocked on his head a few times.

“Xia Mo, stop thinking.

“Alright, go to sleep.”

I turned around and Xu Bing went back to bed. At that time, I actually couldn’t sleep, so I closed my eyes to think. Suddenly, behind me, there was a creaking sound.

Anyone who had experienced this knew that this sound was the sound that came from the bed being violently shaken by an external force. When I opened my eyes, the sound was still there, and it was very rhythmic.

I turned around and Xu Bing looked at me with her eyes wide open.

“Xia Mo, I seem to have heard a strange voice.”

I nodded. At that instant, in the dark dormitory, Xu Bing and I looked at each other. What was most inconceivable was that the voice mysteriously disappeared.
