Are you afraid of the dark?

On the side of the road during night hour, Ye Xiao who was afraid was carrying a school bag and looked nervous as he was afraid of something.

Vehicles passing on the road, the bright street lights reflecting on his body did not bring him any form of security. Light and dark alternated, the pale skinned boy with dark circles under his eyes, the hand holding the bag strap on his chest gradually turned blue.

Did it come yet?

Will it come again?

Will it appear again like last time? The panic and doubts in Ye Xiao heart pilled up as time passed. It's like stack of dynamites which can be detonated by any small spark.

On the long street, the sound of his loud footsteps unknowing became louder and louder in his ears. Under the street lamp, the shadow of the solitary young man stretched out strangely.

"Are you afraid of dark?"

A strange magnetic male voice whispered into his eardrums. The voice seemed to be in front of him and behind him, and his hairs rose instantly! Ye Xiao glanced around the circle in a hurry, and there was no one around. The panic that exploded in his heart made him walk like a wild horse.

I don't know how long I ran, the wind whistling in my ears gradually stopped, and the boy who couldn't run leaned his back against the wall and his chest heaved violently. But soon, the hot sweat on Ye Xiao face solidified.

"Are you afraid of the dark?"

......

......

Ahhhh!

A maple leaf was blown into the classroom by the wind, and the warm sunlight in the afternoon reflected Lu Mei icy gloomy face: "Ye Xiao, sit down for me!!"

There was sudden screeching sound, and the high-profile startled boy quickly sat down. In the back row of his class, a few swaying students froze when they heard the words, and their backs straightened. He lowered his head and stared at the casually opened page without blinking.

As a senior high school Chinese teacher and head teacher, Lu Mei has met many students. But it was the first time she had met a student like Ye Xiao who often slept in class and always woke up screaming.

Sharp eyes looked at the Ye Xiao who lost his soul after sitting down. Lu Mei made up her mind and adjusted her glasses and said lightly: "After class, Ye Xiao, come to the office."

"Okay, Mrs. Lu." He replied casually, and the class continued. Not paying attention to the strange eyes of the classmates around, Ye Xiao looked at the desk without focus, but his thoughts had already drifted to the nightmare just now.

It's like this again...

This thought flashed through his chaotic mind just after waking up, and he turned his head to look out the window.

The autumn air was refreshing, and the young man by the window looked at the maple leaves with a dull expression. He only felt that his life had been messed up by such weird dreams recently. Not to mention that his grades, which were still average, had plummeted. After returning home yesterday, his parents even planned to take him to see a doctor.

... am I sick? Ye Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly. The brain unconsciously emptied, and the bell after class woke him up in a trance.

Ting Ting...

In the corridor outside the classroom, the piercing bells in the ears were mixed with the noise of the students who escaped from the cage, causing Ye Xiao to feel a sense of irritability. That kind of irritability or restlessness made him have a ridiculous idea.

- Kill them to stop arguing, kill! kill! kill!

This crazy thought occupied Ye Xiao mind like weeds. Staying in place, his eyes could not help but turn red, and his eyes began to glance around inadvertently, lingering on the fire extinguishers on the wall, indoor seats and other utensils.

"Ye Xiao? Ye Xiao?!!"

Teacher Lu voice, who found something wrong in front of her, suddenly sounded in his ears.

After his mind was broken, Ye Xiao tightened his fingers, relaxed and took a few deep breaths. Looking at the concerned face in front of him, he was amazed at his state of affairs. He couldn't help showing a touch of apology and quickly replied, "I'm sorry, I lost my mind."

After taking a closer look at this abnormal student, Lu Mei looked him in the eye and said seriously, "It seems that you are very sick!"

Ye Xiao reluctantly fair and ordinary face showed anxiety, and it was obvious that the head teacher seemed to have misunderstood something.

I...

"Keep up! I think it's time to call your parents."

But without giving him a chance to explain, Lu Mei cold and stern eyes interrupted his words, and turned around and walked forward.

Having said that, what can I do? Disappointed, Ye Xiao had to keep his head down. Teacher Lu swaying posture in his field of vision seemed to attract his attention at this time.

Why didn't I find that Teacher Lu was so predictable? Staring straight at the black hip- packed skirt, the young man who flashed this thought shrugged: "How could I have such a thought?"

Before he could think about this, In the empty office, the graceful figure in front turned and sat down, cutting back to that rigid face.

Teacher Lu, who was sitting in her own seat, looked at this troubled student with a big head. Forget it, leave it to his parents to solve it by himself. She skillfully pulled out an address book, took the landline phone on the table, and quickly pressed her fingertips on the keyboard.

Drop drop...

it's over, I'm going to be beaten again. Seeing her answer the phone call, Ye Xiao quietly mourned for himself.

Beep, beep...the two fell silent for a while, only the voice of the phone echoed in the office.

One second and two seconds, [The number you dialed doesn't exist, please confirm and dial again...]

Didi, beep... [Your call...]

bang~

again Lu Mei, who failed to make a call, looked at him angrily: "Student Ye Xiao, your phone number is wrong!... Forget it, you said your parent's phone number, I'll call."

"139XXXXXXXX." The teacher stared at Ye Xiao, who was under great pressure hurriedly reported a series of phone number.

But Lu Mei didn't press the key to dial, but looked at him even more angrily and asked: "Okay, this phone is exactly the same as the one above me, do you want to get away with it?! Classmate Ye Xiao, I'll give you another chance!"

"But that phone number is my dad's phone number!" Ye Xiao was indignant and complained for himself.

Seeing that his clear eyes didn't seem like a lie, Teacher Lu Mei thought about it and asked, "Did that mean your parents changed their phone numbers? If you can't remember your father number then think about your mother's phone number."

My Mom's phone number...139....How much is it?

Ye Xiao couldn't remember a string of numbers that he was familiar with for some reason. Even the memories of the family's parents are pitiful in my mind. The faces of the two people in the impression turned into a fog.

No, I went home to see them last night, and the day before yesterday was also the day before...

The more confused he got, the more he digged in, his head hurt more and more as he thought about it, but Ye Xiao couldn't control himself and continued to think: "My mom has too many phone calls... ah, my head hurts... what does my dad look like... it hurts, pain! Ah! Ah..."

Ye Xiao hugged his head and wailed, squatted down because of the pain.

Suddenly, a pair of icy hands touched his painful head and touched his cheeks along his hair: Ye Xiao, are you okay?

Feeling the caress of the palms on his face, and hearing the teacher's caring voice, Ye Xiao felt that the pain seemed to have eased a lot. : "Its probably nothing...ahhhh..ahhhh

In the office, a shrill scream rang out in an instant.

I saw the two thumbs of those soothing hands were pressing down on Ye Xiao eye sockets. Bit by bit, it was cold and firm, and no matter how hard Ye Xiao struggled like a stone, he couldn't stop it from going deep.

The liquid flowed slowly, and when the two thumbs completely disappeared into the eye sockets, someone's screams reached their peak in an instant.

After the inhuman pain, Ye Xiao, who was tortured to the point of being in a trance, heard a familiar greeting - "Are you afraid of the dark?"

Are you afraid of the dark? Huge Yes!!!!!!!!
