"Is anyone there... Gu Fan..." Lin Xi treaded lightly in the darkness, an unsettled feeling creeping over her, leaving her cold and chilled, as if being watched by something horrific.
At this moment, Lin Xi knew her situation was no better than her missing classmates. Still, she comforted herself, convinced by Yang Xinran's hint about a surprise prepared by Gu Fan. Hence, Gu Fan should be there, and there was no need for her to be scared.
"Gu Fan, if you don't appear right now, I'm going to get angry." Lin Xi thought that the dimming of the lights created a more romantic atmosphere as she tried to suppress her underlying dread.
The longer the darkness persisted, the more disconcerting it became. Lin Xi knew Gu Fan wouldn't play such a prank. If he had indeed planned a surprise, he would have unveiled it right after the lights dimmed. He wouldn't let her wait in the darkness, amidst restlessness and fear, for so long.
