   The boys' and girls' dormitories in our high school are in the same building, separated only by a thin wooden board. Lately, I've been having nightmares every night, always dreaming that I'm making paper offerings in a coffin shop. @DouchengBaye... Could I be seeing ghosts lately? But as a staunch materialist, how could I believe such nonsense? They say what you think about during the day manifests in your dreams at night; I think it must be because of the recent academic pressure, plus watching a lot of horror movies. "Better safe than sorry..." Suddenly, a voice came from behind me—it was the bearded man. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" I quickly turned around to look at him; he was staring at me with wide eyes. "Of course, I was scared awake, just like you!" "Scared... Scared awake?!" "Didn't you have a nightmare?" "How did you know?" "I heard you talking in your sleep!" "So what should we do now?" "We... We?" He quickly hugged his chest. "What do you want to do?" "How about we..." "Don't do anything reckless... I'm taken now!" "What are you thinking?" I rolled my eyes at him. "I dislike chrysanthemums the most!" "Then what do you mean?" "I wanted to continue our previous topic, to talk about that person..." "Who? Zhao Yumin?" "Wang Yao!" "So you like Wang Yao?"

    7. Today's update is a horror story: Reunion Deep in the Fog Forest. This is a story about obsession and tenderness. In the late autumn of 2024, "I" got lost while taking my grandmother back to her hometown and encountered the "Fog Forest Inn," formed from dense fog. Thirty years ago, a fire broke out here, and the "Fog Maiden" in red, carrying her child, failed to escape and searches for her child every year at this time. In the critical moment, my grandmother threw out the silver lock of the Foog Maiden's child that she had picked up years ago, temporarily resolving the crisis. The following year, during the Qingming Festival, my grandmother fell ill because of the Foog Maiden's obsession and revealed the story of how the Foog Maiden had asked her to pass on the silver lock to her husband, but she failed. "I" found out that the Foog Maiden's husband, Brother Shen, had died in a mountain accident. Following the map, I found his remains and half of a jade pendant, which, together with my grandmother's jade pendant, formed the character "" (peace). After returning the silver lock and jade pendant to their places, the spirits of the Foog Maiden and her husband were reunited, and "reunion flowers" bloomed beside the tombstone. Later, villagers and children often came to bring trees to plant, and the old camphor tree stump sprouted new buds, and the fog and the smell of burning disappeared from the Fog Forest Road. The fear of the past has finally settled into a warm embrace of longing and affection, transforming into a gentle reunion that lasts year after year deep within the misty forest.
