At the same time, in a hotel on the other side, Yang Mingwei felt that his girlfriend’s mood had been a bit off in the past few days. Moreover, she ate that custom-made ‘whitening pill’ every day as a meal. After eating it, she would become especially twitchy. If he hadn’t confirmed that it was indeed a whitening pill and not a drug, he would have thought that Yang Xiaoxiao was taking drugs.
However, this whitening pill did have some effect, and it did make Yang Xiaoxiao a lot fairer. In the beginning, it was quite a natural fair color, but later, she became paler and paler, and her face looked like a dead person’s. He didn’t know if it was his illusion.
Lately, Yang Mingwei had been subconsciously terrified of this deathly pale face every night. He originally planned to break up with Yang Xiaoxiao, but when he saw Yang Xiaoxiao’s exquisitely made-up face in the morning, he couldn’t bear to part with her!
That night, Yang Mingwei showered and lay in bed as usual, listening to Yang Xiaoxiao rummaging impatiently through her skincare products in the bathroom. He waited for her for almost an hour, but when he saw that she still hadn’t come out and that the banging was getting louder and louder, he got very irritated. He couldn’t help but throw the magazine he was holding onto the bedside table and say angrily, “Yang Xiaoxiao, you’re taking so long to put on your skincare and you’re still making so much noise? When the hell are you going to sleep? I’m going to sleep first!”
Yang Mingwei wrapped himself in the blanket and lay on the bed with only the bedside lamp left on. He decided to sleep first. After a while, however, Yang Xiaoxiao’s movements in the washroom grew louder and louder, and the banging made Yang Mingwei’s head spin. If he didn’t know that Yang Xiaoxiao was in the washroom, he would have thought that someone was renovating it.
Yang Mingwei was so angry that he propped himself up, but was too lazy to get out of bed, and he shouted at Yang Xiaoxiao in the bathroom. “Can you be quieter? When the hell are you coming to bed?”
After a long while, just as Yang Mingwei was about to get up and check the bathroom, Yang Xiaoxiao’s voice slowly rang out. “Okay!”
Yang Mingwei didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Yang Xiaoxiao’s voice was somehow darker than usual; it sounded rough and unpleasant, like stone grinding over sand.
In the end, Yang Mingwei was a pragmatist and didn’t overthink it. He simply couldn’t stand it anymore, and buried his head under the blanket to sleep, not caring when Yang Xiaoxiao came out and went to bed.
In the middle of the night, Yang Mingwei felt like someone was pushing him, and Yang Xiaoxiao’s voice sounded from time to time. It was just that her voice was rougher and deeper than usual, and very unpleasant to hear. “Mingwei, help me look at my face! Mingwei, help me look at my… face! It’s so itchy! So itchy…”
Yang Mingwei was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up. He angrily cursed Yang Xiaoxiao loudly. The lights in the room were off, and Yang Mingwei was very impatient when he heard Yang Xiaoxiao say that she wanted him to look at her face. But in the end, Yang Xiaoxiao was his girlfriend, and he still had some compassion. He closed his eyes and switched on the table lamp impatiently. “What are you…?” Before he finished his sentence, he opened his eyes and saw a terrifying scene which turned his worldview upside down. He was so scared that his soul left his body, and his whole body convulsed as he pissed his pants.
Yang Xiaoxiao was sitting on him and scratching her face with her fingers. Her originally delicate face was already covered in bloody scratches from her long, pointed nails, and it was a ghastly sight.
Yang Xiaoxiao seemed unaware of his fear and continued screaming, “Mingwei, it’s so itchy! My face is so itchy! Can you give me some skin?” She scratched harder and harder as she spoke, until she suddenly tore off that deathly pale face in front of Yang Mingwei, exposing bloody flesh as bright red blood spurted all over Yang Mingwei’s face.
“Ah…” An extremely terrified, mournful and hoarse scream suddenly rang out, tearing through the silent night!
